Chapter 286 Confusion
When Di Renjie heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly asked, "Viper? You mean viper?"

Li Yuanfang was not too serious, and explained with a smile: "Sir, it's not Hu Jinghui, he is just wearing Viper's clothes!"

Zhao Ji's heart was tense, his eyes wandering between Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, carefully capturing the subtle changes on their faces.

Di Renjie lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought. Apparently, the name "Viper" touched his sensitive nerves.

The killer was wearing Viper's clothes, which means that he was very familiar with Hu Jinghui and knew his Viper identity.

There are not too few people like this, but there are not too many either...

After a moment, he looked up at Li Yuanfang again, his tone more serious: "Oh, Yuanfang, please continue."

Li Yuanfang nodded and continued, "That 'Viper' is a rare opponent I have ever faced. His sword skills are sharp and his body movements are amazing. They are definitely not inferior to Hu Jinghui or Kui Wenzhong."

"I vaguely felt that he didn't use his full strength. He just used the fight to distract me and create an opportunity for another killer to launch a sneak attack!"

"What's even more puzzling to me is that the figure and aura of that 'Viper', as well as the local battle scene, actually made me feel a sense of inexplicable familiarity, as if I had seen them before..."

When Li Yuanfang said this, he couldn't help but shook his head, his eyes full of confusion.

Zhao Ji swallowed his saliva, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, trying to reduce his presence.

"Using a knife? His body movements are amazing? Does it look familiar to you?" Di Renjie whispered to himself, his brows furrowed, his heart already in turmoil.

Li Yuanfang's description made him involuntarily think of certain characteristics of Kui Wenzhong.

Kui Wenzhong once said in Hanguang Temple that he and Hu Jinghui were good friends, and the pulse of the poisoned person was normal, which looked strange no matter how you looked at it...

At this time, Zhao Ji took advantage of the opportunity to put forward his own guess: "Ruyan once said that the snake spirit has six heads. Apart from the evil spirit that died in my hands today, only the blood spirit has not appeared. Could these two people include the mysterious blood spirit?"

Ruyan smiled and shook her head when she heard that. "No, Kui Wenzhong told us that the Blood Spirits are twin sisters. They have mastered a secret technique of changing their shapes since they were young, and their auras can merge into one in a short period of time."

"During the battle, one person faced the enemy head-on, while the other hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to attack and deliver a fatal blow. Kui Wenzhong suffered a great loss because of this."

Di Renjie was surprised again when he heard this. Ruyan's words contained a lot of information: "Blood Spirit Sisters! Change your shape? Hiss?"

Zhao Ji carefully observed Di Renjie's reaction and speculated in his heart that it was obvious that Di Renjie had thought of something.

"Sir, what have you thought of?" he asked tentatively.

Di Renjie smiled slightly, as if he had gained something: "This makes sense. This is the only explanation why the number one Shining Spirit would be injured by the Blood Spirit."

Although Zhao Ji felt that Di Renjie's answer was not fully understood, he also knew that it was not appropriate to delve into it at this moment.
He quickly adjusted his thinking and directed the topic to other levels, hoping to take the initiative.

Zhao Ji said in an exaggerated tone with a fearful tone: "In this case, there are two Blood Spirits and two mysterious killers. There are four top masters alone who are on the run..."

"And I asked Wen Kai, this time when we broke into the main temple, we only captured a few hundred Snake Spirit assassins. And the Snake Spirit has 22 halls, there is no way it is just this number of people!"

Upon hearing this, Di Renjie's expression became serious: "Chengyuan hit the nail on the head! Not only that, think about it, why did this mysterious assassin want to kill Xiao Qingfang?" Zhao Ji quickly followed up: "After Xiao Qingfang died, her armor was undone, and the murderer took something from her body!"

Di Renjie turned his gaze to Zhao Ji, and his eagle eyes immediately stared at Zhao Ji: "So, what do you think the murderer took away?"

As the saying goes, a thief is always guilty. Being stared at by Di Renjie like this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel scared and his heart skipped a beat.

Di Renjie felt a little surprised when he saw that Zhao didn't say anything.

However, he did not think about it for the time being. When Zhao Ji could not think of an answer for a moment, he reminded him, "Let me ask it another way. Why did Xiao Qingfang save Yuan Tiangang?"

Li Yuanfang suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this, and suddenly answered, "My Lord once said that it was for the mysterious secret of Luo River!"

Zhao Ji's heart was slightly moved, but he pretended to be calm, and his tone unconsciously carried a hint of weakness: "The reason why Yuan Tiangang was killed may be because Xiao Qingfang had obtained the secret of Luohe from him!"

Di Renjie finally nodded with relief: "That's right, the reason why this mysterious assassin killed Xiao Qingfang was because he was worried that she would reveal the secret of Luohe after falling into our hands, so he killed her and took away the thing."

Ruyan said softly, "Yes, yes. The thing the murderer took from Xiao Qingfang must be the secret."

Finally, Di Renjie looked around at everyone, and said in a steady and powerful tone: "Among the snake spirits, in addition to the forces we know about, there is another hidden force."

"The Blood Spirit sisters mentioned by Cheng Yuan before, and the two assassins encountered by Yuan Fang, they are very likely members of this force. In fact, they themselves are the core representatives of this force!"

Li Yuanfang and Ruyan both nodded in agreement.

Di Renjie looked into the distance: "So, although we have breached the Snake Spirit Altar and captured a large number of rebels, this case is far from over."

"This time, our opponent is not only very familiar to us, but also more cunning than any of our previous opponents. Therefore, we must be even more alert!"

Before he could finish his words, Wen Kai rushed in, completely unaware of his manners, with an expression of undisguised panic on his face.

He ran to Di Renjie's side and lowered his voice with a trembling tone: "Lord, when I was interrogating the prisoners just now, I found a person who looked very similar to Di Renjie among the prisoners wearing civilian clothes..."

Di Renjie looked at Wen Kai in surprise, not understanding why he was so coy, and asked directly, "Who does he look like?"

Wen Kai swallowed hard, his voice as thin as a mosquito: "Looks like... looks a lot like Zhang Jianzhi in the court, Zhang Gelao!"

Wen Kai could still be an official, he just said that he looked very similar, leaving room for doubt, and did not insist that it was Zhang Jianzhi.

After hearing this, Di Renjie couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say?!"

Wen Kai's face turned pale, and he said softly, "I once worked in the Divine Capital, and I know Elder Zhang. I shouldn't be mistaken. Besides Elder Zhang, there are more than a dozen other people who also look like high-ranking officials of the imperial court."

When Di Renjie heard that there were more than a dozen people, he was surprised but also a little amused. He had roughly understood what was going on. It was nothing more than human skin masks.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Bring them here, I will personally interrogate them!"
