Chapter 871 Ji Chang's Suspicion

Although Ji Chang could not find out from the divination who killed his beloved eldest son, he could roughly pinpoint the murderer by considering who benefited the most after Boyi Kao's death!

Although this approach is too arbitrary and the facts may not be so, it is undeniable that it is the fastest way to locate the enemy.

This means that Ji Fa was Ji Chang's biological son. Otherwise, Ji Fa would have already undergone a soul search by the time this conclusion was reached, since those in power don't need so-called evidence to convict someone!

The thought that Ji Fa had killed his own elder brother for a position of power was unbearable for Ji Chang. He could hardly believe that his second son could be so heartless as to turn against his own brother!

At the same time, Ji Chang also became somewhat wary of Ji Fa. After all, if Ji Fa really killed his own elder brother, then if he, as his father, were to get in his way one day, wouldn't he also be secretly dealt with?

Of course, in order to avoid wrongly accusing his second son and also to retrieve Boyi Kao's body, after Ji Chang calmed down, he immediately arranged for his trusted confidants to follow the route Boyi Kao took to find the place where Boyi Kao had fallen!

Although Ji Chang's confidant had some cultivation, he was only a newly ascended immortal. How could he possibly discover any problems with the place where Zi Xiao had dealt with the incident?

In the end, the trusted confidant, having found nothing, took Bo Yikao's body back. Upon seeing his eldest son's body, Ji Chang burst into tears. If Ji Chang had known that his eldest son would be separated from him forever once he left Xiqi, he would never have let him leave Xiqi!

After inquiring about the details of the crime scene and the condition of Boyi Kao's body, Ji Chang finally concluded that his eldest son had been killed by a powerful being!

Thinking about this, Ji Chang began to ponder which powerful figure had killed Boyi Kao! First, Ji Chang ruled out Grand Tutor Wen and his talented subordinates. The reason was simple: Ji Chang trusted Grand Tutor Wen's character!

As a veteran of three reigns of the Shang Dynasty, how could Ji Chang, who had always wanted to rebel, not know Wen Zhong's character and fighting style? It was precisely because he knew Wen Zhong's character that Ji Chang eliminated Wen Zhong without hesitation!

Besides the Yin Shang army led by Wen Zhong, Ji Chang's second group to be ruled out were those guys from the Western Sect who were just loafing around. After all, given their lazy nature, it was impossible for them to have killed anyone!

As for Yang Jiao and the other heavenly generals from the Heavenly Court, it was simply impossible for them to be there. The reason was simple: Yang Jiao and his two siblings, along with Princess Longji, were complete newcomers, each with a pure and innocent heart.

Even if Boyi Kao offended Yang Jiao and his group, they would only retaliate openly, not secretly kill Boyi Kao.

After all, if they really secretly killed Boyi Kao, it would cause some damage to their Dao Heart, and damage to the Dao Heart is a huge disaster for cultivators. If not handled properly, it may affect their cultivation!

After eliminating all impossible options, the people that Ji Chang suspected the most were none other than the group of powerful demons who had recently joined Xiqi!

After spending time with them, he had come to understand the personalities of the great demons. It was precisely because he knew what kind of monsters they were that they were the ones Ji Chang suspected the most!

However, after Ji Chang's investigation and divination, he discovered that none of these great demons had the time or the possibility to commit the crime! As the eldest son of Xiqi, Boyi Kao carries a certain amount of human destiny on his shoulders. Anyone who kills him will suffer a certain degree of karmic backlash!

The powerful demons who come to Xiqi are mostly burdened with karma. For high-ranking and powerful figures like the eldest son of Xiqi, they will capture them alive if they can, and will never kill them themselves. After all, take Boyi Kao as an example, the karma generated by killing him is equivalent to killing a million mortals!
