402: Chapter 46 Reactions from All Parties

The Eight Peculiar Skills?

Hearing this familiar term, the board members of Na Du Tong Company all frowned in unison.

Because the Eight Peculiar Skills had caused too much trouble!

In the past, there was the Jia Shen Rebellion and the subsequent Great Pursuit; more recently, there was the Luotian Grand Ritual and Quanxing's massive attack on the Celestial Masters Residence.

Now, Lü Ci and Wang Ai have killed each other because of them.

From this, it's clear that the Eight Peculiar Skills are a curse.

However, this meeting wasn't for criticizing them, so the few of them sighed inwardly and moved on.

Immediately after, a board member asked, "Do we know which one of the Eight Peculiar Skills it is?"

Zhao Fangxu shook his head. "Lü Gong said he wasn't sure. We tested him, and he was telling the truth. Besides that, there are currently no other direct clues. However, based on the known situation, investigators have speculated on two possibilities."

At this point, he paused and held up a finger. "The first possibility: Qi Source Flow."

"According to the investigators, Wang Ai and Lü Ci recently pressured Zhang Chulan, who possesses the Qi Source Flow, on Longhu Mountain, intending to obtain that peculiar skill from him. But due to the timely intervention of Xu Si and Xu San, the heads of the company's North Lu branch, they did not succeed."

"This is a relatively direct connection between Lü Ci, Wang Ai, and the Eight Peculiar Skills in recent times."

"However, the two did not succeed, so the probability of them killing each other over the Qi Source Flow is infinitely close to zero; we can only say it hasn't been ruled out."

"The second possibility: Heavenly Scroll."

"During this Luotian Grand Ritual, Lu Jin, one of The Ten Elders, offered the Heavenly Scroll as a prize for the winner."

"Ultimately, the Heavenly Scroll was obtained by an extraordinary person named White Sword Immortal."

"But strangely, there is no record of this White Sword Immortal, as if he appeared out of thin air. Moreover, at the end of Quanxing's massive attack on the Celestial Masters Residence, he suddenly vanished and his whereabouts remain unknown."

"Investigators suspect that White Sword Immortal fell into the hands of Lü Ci and Wang Ai, and the two then had a disagreement over the Heavenly Scroll, leading to their mutual destruction."

"The probability of this speculation is higher than the previous one, but there are many suspicious points."

"First is that White Sword Immortal's identity and origin are a mystery, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

"Secondly, the Heavenly Scroll has a Secret Manual. Lü Ci and Wang Ai had a good relationship; if they got it, they could have each made a copy. There was no need for a life-and-death struggle."

"Finally, Lü Gong was completely unaware of White Sword Immortal falling into the hands of Lü Ci and Wang Ai, so whether this is true remains questionable."

"The above is all the currently known information regarding the deaths of Lü Ci and Wang Ai."

"If anyone has any thoughts, feel free to share."

"Is there a possibility that Lü Ci and Wang Ai didn't kill each other, but were killed by a third party who then staged it? The murderer being that White Sword Immortal whose origin and whereabouts are unknown." After a brief silence, a director made a completely different guess.

Zhao Fangxu said, "Wang Ai's cause of death was his internal organs being shattered by a powerful force, and Lü Ci was bitten to death by spirit bodies."

"Investigators have repeatedly confirmed that these were caused by Ruyi Force and Restraining Spirits and Dispatching Generals."

"There were only traces of Wang Ai and Lü Ci's exchange at the scene."

"This is the main reason for concluding that they killed each other."

"Although that White Sword Immortal has many mysteries, based on his performance at the Luotian Grand Ritual and during Quanxing's attack on the mountain, his methods mainly rely on Flying Swords and Magical Artifacts, at most adding the Heavenly Scroll. He does not possess heart-confusing methods like the Four Madmen of Quanxing."

"Not to mention confusing figures like Lü Ci and Wang Ai."

"Then could it be someone else? For example, Lü Ci or Wang Ai's enemies, or someone related to other peculiar skills." Another director said.

Zhao Fangxu said with a headache, "I'm not sure. There are currently no clues in that regard."

"Before this happened, who was the last person Lü Ci and Wang Ai saw, and when did they see them?" another director asked.

Zhao Fangxu replied, "The last person they saw was Lü Gong..."},{
