Song Yu was stunned for a moment when she saw the scene in the palace. It was obviously different from the serious scene she had imagined.
Zhao Wuji's face darkened slightly and he said in a low voice: "Yu'er, why are you so flustered and how can you behave so well!"
At the same time, Song Mingzhe, the eldest elder in the palace, stood up and apologized: "I don't know how to educate my daughter. I bumped into the palace master. I hope the palace master will forgive me."
Xiao Yifeng looked at Song Yu and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. My daughter is so flustered. There must be something going on. Let's deal with it first."
Zhao Wuji and the elder quickly called people aside to ask what was going on. The three of them were whispering in the corner.
After a while, Zhao Wuji sat back with an ugly expression on his face, as if something big had happened.
"Palace Master Zhao, what happened? Do you need help?" Xiao Yifeng asked.
Zhao Wuji laughed dryly and said: "It's just a small matter, I don't dare to bother the palace master."
Xiao Yifeng's face darkened and she said coldly: "Palace Master Zhao, I really want to help you, I want to help your Xuanyin Mansion."
He shook his head and said: "But you have been hiding it from me. My heart is towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"
"That's all, I'll just be an idler!"
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then stood up and strode out.
"Palace Master, don't be angry."
Zhao Wuji became anxious and his expression changed slightly.
Xiao Yifeng said coldly: "Since you insist on keeping me out, I don't care."
"I will take care of official business. How you will explain to the Holy Queen when the time comes is your business."
Zhou Wenhan quickly followed him, and Qin Miaomiao even tried to persuade him with kind words.
But Xiao Yifeng kept a cold face throughout the whole process, kept his eyes open, acted businesslike, and asked Zhao Wuji to arrange a place for him to work.
Zhao Wuji had no choice but to tell the truth that the fifth elder of Xuanyin Mansion who did not come to greet him today was killed more than ten miles outside the mansion.
Xiao Yifeng's face softened slightly when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Who did it?"
"I don't know yet, but it makes it impossible for him to escape. I guess the murderer's cultivation level is quite high." Zhao Wuji said honestly.
"Where's the body? Let's go and take a look together." Xiao Yifeng suggested.
Several people went over together and looked at the messy and miserable corpse, and they couldn't help but frown.
Next to the corpse were several corpse puppets that had been torn into pieces. These were the corpse puppets of the fifth elder. Among them was a corpse puppet who was a Mahayana puppet during his lifetime.
This corpse puppet, which could only exert the full strength of Dongxu, was torn into pieces like the fifth elder, and died in a miserable state.
"Even though he was killed in one blow, his body was still broken into thousands of pieces. It seems that he has a deep hatred against him. Does Palace Master Zhao have anyone to suspect?" Xiao Yifeng asked.
Zhao Wuji was thoughtful, but hesitated to speak, and finally hesitated: "Looking at the method, this is most likely the corpse king."
Xiao Yifeng asked: "Palace Master Zhao, why is this Corpse King so at odds with your Xuanyin Palace?"
Zhao Wuji laughed dryly and said: "I am also puzzled, but I am also puzzled. Maybe there is enough corpse energy here, and he wants to occupy this place."
Xiao Yifeng saw that he was out of touch and made it clear that he didn't want to tell the truth, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Okay, since Palace Master Zhao thinks he can solve this matter, I won't interfere and let you do whatever you want."
He said and left with a cold face, leaving Zhao Wuji and others looking at each other.
Xiao Yifeng walked outside and met Song Mingzhe, the great elder of Xuanyin Mansion not far away.
"I've seen the Master of the Seven Kills Palace."
Although Song Mingzhe had the cultivation of Dongxu Dzogchen, he still felt a pressure when facing Xiao Yifeng, but it came from his identity and legend.
Xiao Yifeng was frustrated by Zhao Wuji, so he wanted to see if he could find a solution from Song Mingzhe.
"Elder Song doesn't need to be polite. I'm here for the first time. Why don't Elder Song show me the scenery here?"
Song Mingzhe didn't know why, but he couldn't miss the opportunity to get close to Xiao Yifeng.
He laughed and said: "It's rare for the master of the palace to be so elegant, how can I not obey?"
Xiao Yifeng nodded and followed him wandering around the dark underworld.
Song Mingzhe took him to see the unique scenery of Xuanyin Mansion, while introducing the uses and functions of these, as if they were precious treasures.
"Elder Song is really a master of corpse refining, I admire you." Xiao Yifeng complimented.
"The master of the palace is really a shameful old man. We don't dare to take it seriously. We just understand it a little bit." Song Mingzhe laughed.
"Elder Song, have you ever heard of the Heavenly Corpse?" Xiao Yifeng asked seemingly casually.
"Heavenly Corpse?"
Song Mingzhe was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he still explained to Xiao Yifeng: "I have only seen the Heavenly Corpse in legends before."
"It was refined using special methods. It is said that it has been refined to the extreme and can compete with the Tribulation."
"However, the relevant records are also kept secret in my Xuanyin Palace. Only the secret volume of the Heavenly Corpse in the hands of the Palace Master has records."
Xiao Yifeng understood what he meant. If he wanted to get the relevant records of this corpse, he still had to find Zhao Wuji.
Although he knew that Song Mingzhe had no good intentions, Xiao Yifeng still thanked him and said, "Thank you, Elder Song, for clearing up the confusion."
"But what Elder Song said just now is that he has only seen it in records before. The implication is that you have also seen a real heavenly corpse?"
Song Mingzhe was not surprised by Xiao Yifeng's sensitivity. After all, he threw this out on purpose.
He nodded with a smile and said: "I guess I have seen it before. I heard that the palace master met the corpse king when he came here. He should also be a heavenly corpse."
"You mean that the corpse king causing trouble in Xuanyin Mansion is a rare celestial corpse?"
Xiao Yifeng frowned, but considering how special the corpse king was, there seemed to be nothing to be surprised about.
"I'm not sure, but his special features make me feel that he should be a corpse." Song Mingzhe frowned and said.
"Are there any natural corpses here?" Xiao Yifeng asked the key.
"It stands to reason that there will be no natural heavenly corpses in the world. After all, the conditions are too harsh."
Song Mingzhe said, but showed a confused expression and murmured: "But we may have really encountered a natural corpse."
Xiao Yifeng thought for a while and asked: "Why did Elder Song say that? Do you know the identity of this corpse king?"
Song Mingzhe laughed and said, "I'm just guessing, I can't take it seriously."
Xiao Yifeng cursed secretly, this Xuanyin Mansion is full of Riddlers.
It's abominable to speak half-said!
During the rest of the stroll, Song Mingzhe avoided the important and ignored the minor, never mentioning what happened next.
Song Mingzhe's intention was very obvious. He deliberately raised various questions and asked Xiao Yifeng to investigate Zhao Wuji.
This is an obvious conspiracy, but the effect is surprisingly good, because Xiao Yifeng does have doubts about Zhao Wuji.
Through Song Mingzhe, he had a rough idea of the general situation of Xuanyin Mansion, then he said goodbye and went back.
