"Ah good!"
Zhang Heng's face straightened up and his expression became slightly solemn, "The sect received news this morning, asking us to go to Jinguang Sect to investigate."
Xiang Shen looked sad: "This is already the third one."
Xiang Shu listened silently, his eyes flashed, and he did not interrupt.
She received the news of Jin Guangzong's accident as soon as possible last night from Wei Lexheng.
The five major sects spent a whole year purging demon cultivators and traitors everywhere. It seemed that they had achieved their goal and eliminated the fatwa, but in fact the effect was not satisfactory.
The Demon Palace had lost a lot of people, but those who were caught and killed were all minor characters, and the core force had long been hidden in the dark and dormant.
The demon cultivator is in the dark, and the five major sects are in the light.
For Zhengdao, this situation is not much better than being kept in the dark at the beginning.
Therefore, the "Human Network" did not disband after the fatwa ended. Instead, it has been maintained to this day, monitoring abnormalities everywhere day and night.
But under such tight surveillance, the Demon Palace was able to sneak in every opportunity. Six months ago, after destroying a small sect at lightning speed, it disappeared out of thin air. No matter how the five major sects traced it, No trace of the other party could be found.
Three months later, another small sect suffered disaster, and then there was the Jinguang Sect yesterday.
These three sects are not in the same territory. The first place is under the jurisdiction of Fengyue Sect, the second place is Guimu Valley, and the third place is Qianxing Palace. The choices in the three places are extremely jumpy, irregular, and confusing.
Wei Lexheng summoned him personally and wanted to ask her to help with the investigation.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu asked: "Senior Brother Zhang, Jinguang Sect is also a tenth-grade sect after all. Is it dangerous for just the three of us to go?"
Zhang Heng just thought she was scared. Hearing this, he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, with the human network covering us, if we encounter trouble in Jinguang Sect, the nearby true disciples will be able to rush over in an instant.
Furthermore, the sewer rats in the Demon Palace have never had a direct conflict with us in the past two years. There are at least a few demons in the Jinguang Sect. It is enough for me and you, Sister Tang, to protect you. There will not be much danger. of. "
Speaking of this, Xiang Shen frowned slightly and did not refute.
The Demon Palace has avoided fighting for two years. The top leaders of the five major sects may still be vigilant, but most of their disciples may despise the Demon Cultivator like Zhang Heng and have long since stopped taking the Demon Palace seriously.
This is not a good thing.
While the three of them were talking, the spirit boat cut through the sky and arrived at the foot of Jinguang Sect Mountain in less than two hours.
"The Jinguang Sect, like the Wanjian Sect, is also an unpopular tenth-grade sect. They failed to obtain a title in the last East Continent Competition. They have no share in the Lingshan Blessed Land, so they have been living in this mountain forever."
Zhang Heng gave a brief introduction, "There are many mortal villages at the foot of the mountain. How about we go and take a look first?"
Naturally, Xiang Shu and Tang Yin had no objections and followed them to visit the villages at the foot of the mountain.
When the mortals in the village saw the immortal coming, they immediately invited the village chief over.
The village chief was already very old. As soon as he came over, he knelt down tremblingly and saluted, saying, "Wang Tie, a humble citizen, has met three immortals."
"Get up."
Tang Yin frowned. She was also born as a mortal, so she couldn't bear to see this. However, she had been exposed to the mortal world many times over the past hundred years, and over time she had become somewhat accustomed to it.
"Let me ask you, did you hear any movement from Jinguang Mountain last night in your village?"
After discussing with the villagers, the head of the village immediately shook his head and said, "Everyone in the village has gone to bed after midnight, and the common people didn't hear anything. They just slept until dawn."
Xiang Shen kept observing the village chief and other villagers and saw that they reacted naturally, knowing that what they said was all the truth.
Tang Yin led the team and asked several other villages in the mountain, and the answers they received were all the same.
"It seems that just like the previous two times, the Demon Palace used some unknown method to seal off the entire Jinguang Sect in an instant, and no movement was heard."
Tang Yin sighed and said, "Let's go up the mountain."
Jin Guangzong has lived here for a long time, and the mountain roads have been carefully repaired.
Wide and flat.
A group of three people walked side by side, with Tang Yin and Zhang Heng each guarding both sides and keeping watch. Xiang Shuzhi only looked at the mountain road, and gradually saw little red blood stains in the muddy water covered with fallen leaves.
She waved her hand to attract a fallen leaf, squinted her eyes, and handed it to Tang Yin beside her.
"The blood stains are in the shape of jets. Someone from the Jinguang Sect once fled here."
Tang Yin looked solemn, "But I've looked around and there are no corpses."
"Isn't it the same for the previous two sects that were destroyed? No body could be found in the entire sect, only blood stains."
Zhang Heng looked cold, "This method is exactly the same as that of Wanjianmen's Supreme Leader who destroyed the Demon Palace's stronghold two years ago. They must have done this for revenge!"
When Xiang Shen heard this, his heart moved and he asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, are you really sure that the Demon Palace stronghold two years ago was the work of our sect?"
Zhang Heng's expression softened, "That's not true, but destroying the Demon Palace stronghold was a great achievement. If it had been done by people from the five major sects, they would have jumped out to claim the credit.
After much deliberation, only the Supreme Elder of your sect who hates evil and is indifferent to fame and wealth could possibly take action. After all, what the Demon Palace did back then almost plunged your sect into a place of eternal disaster. "
Xiang Shu suddenly realized, "Thank you, senior brother, for clearing up the confusion."
She had never heard Jiang Yi and others say these little rumors that related to her.
However, if the world of cultivation really thinks so, it is impossible for people in the Demon Palace not to know that if the purpose is only revenge, why not go to Wanjianmen?
No matter how powerful her "Tai Shang" is, she is still alone. If the Demon Palace invades in large numbers, Wanjianmen will definitely not be able to withstand it.
After thinking for a moment, the three of them had walked the last section of the mountain road and entered the gate of Jinguang Sect.
The Jinguang Sect's sect-protecting formation was no better than a low-grade one. Now that no one was guarding the formation, the three of them easily passed through the thin wall of the formation.
As soon as he entered, a strong smell of blood immediately poured out from the mountain door and went straight into his nose.
"The resentment here is amazing. Many people died last night."
Tang Yin wrinkled her nose and was about to say something comforting to Xiang Shu, but she saw that the latter's expression was as usual and she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Young junior sister, you are so brave! The first time I saw and smelled this smell, I vomited for a long time."
Zhang Heng praised him, but his face became tense, "Senior sister, let's search separately."
"good."
Tang Yin nodded and told Xiang Shen: "This place is dangerous, you follow me, don't run around, and don't touch blindly, do you understand?"
Xiang Shu didn't say much and followed Tang Yin obediently.
Tang Yin felt relieved when she saw this and laughed secretly.
The little girl seems calm and collected, but in fact she is deliberately trying to be strong. Is she feeling uncomfortable? He pretended to be like that and almost deceived her.
The gate of Jinguang Sect is deserted, with only a few hundred disciples. They all live on the same peak, and the palaces and houses in the mountain are quite close together.
Tang Yin pushed open a half-open door and saw a large amount of blood on the floor in the room, almost soaking through the quilt, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
This residence is simple and should be a place where servants live.
Xiang Shu squatted down and rubbed the blood on the ground. It was still fresh, so he must have died last night.
But the amount of bleeding was a bit too much...
She put it between her nose and sniffed it gently, and her eyes suddenly narrowed.
"...Sister Chuan?!"
After Tang Yin finished searching the closet in the house, she looked back in shock and saw Xiang Shu squatting in front of a dark red bloodstain, "What are you doing?"
Xiang Shu straightened up and wiped his hands, "It's nothing, Sister Tang, this blood has a strange smell."
Tang Yin came over and checked Xiang Shen's fingers first. Seeing that she was not injured, she squatted down, picked up some blood and smelled it, then she revealed a slightly surprised look, "The smell of bone erosion powder."
"What is Bone Erosion Powder?" Xiang Shen asked.
Tang Yin took a little blood and put it into a bottle, while explaining: "The Bone Erosion Powder is the Demon Palace's unique secret medicine. Just a little bit of powder on your fingernail can turn the corpse into a pool of blood. But two days before that, During the investigation of each sect, no traces of corrosion were found in the blood.
There are scattered bones here, which is strange. "
Xiang Shen's eyes flashed, "Sister Tang, why don't we go take a look at the blood stains in the main hall."
Tang Yin's eyes suddenly froze, and she was confused: "You mean..."
After a while, Tang Yin led Xiang Sheng to the door of the main hall, which had collapsed in half. The furnishings in the hall were messy, as if there had been a fire, and there were flying ash everywhere.
Tang Yin quickly stepped into the hall, and with a sweep of her spiritual consciousness, she immediately found several places where blood was spattered, but all of them had solidified into dark brown lumps.
She peeled off a small piece, put it between her nose and sniffed it, and her mind was suddenly shaken.
Although these blood clots were dried due to the fire and the smell was a little lighter, she could still smell it. There was no smell of bone-corrosive powder in the blood!
Although Bone Erosion Powder is not particularly precious, it is still valuable.
The people of the Demon Palace took away the useful corpses, and the remaining corpses of the servants could be completely discarded. Why should they waste so much money?
Tang Yin couldn't figure it out. Faintly, she felt that this was a very important clue, so she immediately took out the communication talisman and sent all the news to her senior brother Wei Lexheng.
She was so focused on the message that she didn't pay attention to Xiang Shen's movements at all.
Xiang Shu turned his back to Tang Yin, crushed a small piece of blood in his palm, gently placed a small fragment of "Deception" on it, and cast a spell to pull it.
Not long after, a nearly invisible ray of cold air floated out from the blood drain. Before it was included in the fragments, it turned into a small ball of chaotic origin in mid-air and dispersed.
It's really gloomy.
Xiang Shu put away the fragments, a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
This is very different from Jiang Yi's previous guess. In the past two years, Jiang Yi and the others have collected intelligence and found that all the disciples in the sect have been ambushed to a greater or lesser extent, and all of them have traces of the Yin Stone.
Jiang Yi guessed at that time that this was the United Demon Palace of the Underworld, and he wanted to use the power of the Yin Stone to kill all the young geniuses of Dongzhou, so that the monks of Dongzhou would not take over, and they would be defeated if they did not attack.
This conjecture is reasonable. The Yinshi ambush did happen to the talented monk in Dongzhou.
Xiang Shen had other opinions, but he didn't say it clearly because there was no evidence.
But now that the Yin Stone aura has been found in the bloodstains of monks from a small sect like Jinguang Sect, the theory that they ambushed the talented monks from Dongzhou makes no sense.
