Duan Wuya left, and no one knew where he was going. Maybe he would go directly back to the Mutian Divine Sect in Tianzhou, or maybe he would be immersed in the void for a while, watching the howling wind, missing his outstanding talents. Beloved son.
"Brother Lan, Duan Wuya looked unwilling just now. Do we need..." Sang Wenlian stared at the position where Duan Wuya opened the void passage and left, with a strange light shining in his beautiful eyes.
"No need." Hearing this, Lan Wanchu shook his head, his blue light gradually became dull, and he said in a deep voice: "Although Duan Wuya is angry, but as I said, Duan Mutian was not killed by Xu Yue, the murderer was someone else. There is someone! In addition, the plan for the Immortal Realm cannot be delayed. If Duan Wuya does not want to become a sinner in history, and the Mutian Divine Sect still wants to exist in the world, it will be impossible for him to mess around. "
"Fellow Daoist Lan is right. Duan Daoyou is a good friend of mine. Although his style of conduct is unpleasant, in general, he is still very well-organized and far-sighted." Dao Xuanzi from the Taoist sect came over, stretched out his hand, and He untied the fairy light guarding Xu Yue and said, "Fellow Taoist Xu, long time no see. I'm so polite."
"Senior, don't be like this. I should thank you for rescuing the siege." Xu Yue did not dare to neglect and hurriedly returned a salute to Dao Xuanzi. After many treatments, his body has now returned to its original state.
Whoosh! Immediately afterwards, a sound broke through the air, and dozens of figures descended here. Most of them were elders and elites from Qianlihe and Daomen. They received orders from the Immortal Alliance to rush to the place. At this time, they stood on the periphery, observing the stars and the moon. Xu Yue looked quite curious.
Is this the legendary powerful man behind the scenes who can command the entire Immortal Alliance?
"Are you okay?" The old turtle came over, his face as usual, and he was not hurt at all in the conflict with Duan Wuya. Xin Ling and others also leaned towards Xu Yue, as if they had to do this to feel more at ease.
"No problem." Xu Yue nodded and glanced at Lan Ruyan, who was standing beside Lan Wanchu with his hands and feet tied up. Then his expression changed and became extremely serious. He bowed to several sect leaders: "Seniors, just now you Said, in addition to Duan Mutian, two of the strongest generations have died during this period. What happened?" The strongest generation is related to his salvation plan. It can be said that its importance is no less than that of the peak of Tianxuan Realm. Death Any one of them would be a huge loss to the Immortal Realm and would also greatly weaken the chance of winning in the future decisive battle with the demon.
It was also for this reason that Xu Yue asked the Immortal Alliance to issue a policy five years ago, announcing that the strongest generation would enjoy privileges in the Immortal Realm, with priority given to cultivation resources, and all kinds of magical elixirs and magic techniques would be provided free of charge, without touching the bottom line of each sect. Under this, you can visit any place in the Immortal Realm, and all giants or major ancient religions will not be embarrassed.
More importantly, the Immortal Alliance has also given these geniuses countless life-saving means that are hard to find in the world, and stipulates that except for reasonable friction and confrontation, no one is allowed to kill the strongest generation, especially the old monsters at the elder level of each sect. , once discovered, the entire clan and family will be directly wiped from the world!
All this is to protect and cultivate them, but in such a strictly guarded environment, why did two of them suddenly die!
?
"Well, this did happen... For the specific situation, you can ask Xiao Xiao next to you first. He may know better." Lan Wanchu pondered for a moment and pointed to Xiao Hu next to Wang Ba. Yue Ye looked over, his brows furrowed.
"That's right, boss, I was negligent before and forgot to give you this important information in time." Xiao Hu's expression gradually became serious and he said solemnly: "A month ago, the strongest generation that I was responsible for protecting in Hudao Mountain, Xi Liang Zong, the genius of the Desert Immortal Realm giant Wanli Kuangsha, ranked twenty-second on the Immortal Ranking, was assassinated somewhere in the Western Desert, along with Hu Kang, the elder of our sect from the Tianxuan Realm."
"Assassination!?" Xu Yue screamed in shock, his pupils widened, and before he had time to think about it, he quickly said: "Assassination means that you don't even know who the murderer is? Liang Zong and Hu Kang are both of low status, and they have There should be a lot of life-saving cards. How could the life be lost and the news not spread? Also, why did it take a month for you to inform me about this? Wanli Kuangsha and Hudaoshan were in the know. Won't you retaliate?" Xu Yue got angrier as he spoke. What he feared most was that he was throwing his life and blood in the front, while his teammates were holding back, or even causing trouble, disrupting all his plans.
"this……"
"Hey, Xu Yue, don't get excited yet." Xiao Hu was speechless by the question and didn't know how to answer. Lan Wanchu on the side sighed, rubbed his fingers in his sleeves, and muttered: " Wang Yuankui, the sect leader of Wanli Kuangsha, is an old friend of mine. He is open-minded and forthright, and acts aboveboard. He will never do anything that is concealed and unreported... And according to what he said, Wanli Kuangsha discovered Liang Zong's soul lamp a month ago. After it was extinguished, I was furious and immediately joined forces with Hudaoshan to launch an investigation. The reason why the two families never reported it was because they wanted to get to the bottom of it before they could plead guilty to the Immortal Alliance."
"You're confused! How dare you not tell us this kind of thing right away!" Xu Yue glared at Xiao Hu, who was suffering from something he couldn't express, and his teeth itched with anger.
"I'm sorry, boss. Hudaoshan is guilty and is willing to accept any punishment from the Immortal Alliance... Don't be too angry. You are still seriously injured, so please take care of yourself."
"You...sigh." Seeing Xiao Hu bowing his head to apologize, Xu Yue, although he had thousands of curse words, was unable to curse at this time. He could only sigh and said in a cold voice: "What about the results of the investigation? Sample?"
"It's very bad." Xiao Hu raised his head, shook his head, recalled what his old man said, and said with an ugly face: "Liang Zong and Hu Kang died in the barren land of the Western Desert. There were no sects or pedestrians around them. , when their bodies were found, there were no signs of fighting nearby. As you said, they were killed without even using their life-saving cards or spreading the news... The opponent should be very strong, and it might be an instant Kill!" Hearing this, Xu Yue was slightly shocked and secretly clenched his fists.
Hu Kang is the elder of Hudao Mountain and a strong man in the Tianxuan Realm. Liang Zong is also a genius on the Immortal Ranking, and his strength is definitely not weak.
What kind of cultivation level and what kind of person is the person who can kill them both instantly? Xu Yue fell into deep thought, and his originally angry mood calmed down unconsciously in this thought.
"Then why are you telling this matter now? Don't you want to find out a result and report it to the Immortal Alliance?" After a long time, he asked again.
But Lan Wanchu's next words made his mood, which had finally calmed down, go up and down again.
"Because... still in the Western Desert, Gu Kui of Taigu Road was suddenly attacked a few days ago, and then died. Jia Ye of Mirage was also ambushed, but she was cautious enough, and Mirage's skills were special. I managed to escape." After saying this, even Xiao Hu, who was unaware of the situation, widened his eyes, let alone Xin Ling and others who had just come out of the culvert, as well as the two sects not far away. Disciple.
"How could..." They were surprised. If Liang Zong's death might have been an accident or a vendetta, then Gu Kui's death and Jia Ye's attack were enough to prove that someone was hunting the strongest generation!
There was silence all around, and everyone's beating hearts were trembling loudly.
"So, those people in the West Desert got scared and suddenly realized that things were not as simple as they originally thought." Xu Yue said almost through gritted teeth.
"That's right, alas..." This was the first time Lan Wanchu sighed today. As a senior member of the Immortal Alliance, he was also upset by this matter and was under great pressure. He said in a deep voice: " After Jiaye escaped back to the mirage, several parties took a breather and realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately reported it to the Immortal Alliance... As for why they didn't take a faster sound transmission channel, but had someone deliver the message, in addition to considering In addition to causing riots, what's more important is that everyone still doesn't know the situation in the Western Desert. If the message is passed on rashly and intercepted by the enemy in the dark, trouble may occur again... I just didn't expect that I was still a step too late." Lan Wanchu glanced at the dark entrance of the culvert not far away. He had already sensed it. The inside had been blown up by a huge force, and the space was extremely chaotic. Even if he entered now, it would not be the same darkness that Xu Yue and the others walked through before. space, let alone the underground square where Duan Mutian and Gu Xingzhou died.
"So...it's all my responsibility. I should have told the boss earlier..." Xiao Hu's face was ashen, and there was no trace of a smile on his face.
If he had told Xu Yue about Liang Zong in time when he was on the base island, would they not have come to this culvert?
Thinking of Gu Xingzhou and even Duan Mutian's death because of it, Xiao Hu's body became cold, his Taoist heart trembled, and even a crack appeared.
On the side, Fu Xiang saw this scene and immediately grabbed his hand, extremely worried.
"Xiao boy, don't think too much." Wang Ba spoke in time, pretending to be calm and calm, waving his hands and saying: "When you left the West Desert, you didn't know about the death of Gu Kui and the attack on Jia Ye. It’s understandable that you take this matter lightly... Besides, given the temperaments of Lao Gu and Duan Mutian, one is stubborn and the other is arrogant. What would happen if they knew about it? I can guarantee that even if you said it at the time, they would still For those who come here, the outcome will not change.”
"Okay, don't think about it." Xu Yue also came over and patted Xiao Hu's shoulder. Under the comfort of the two, Xiao Hu finally felt a little more relieved, but his face was still pale and he kept his head down. , I don’t know what I’m thinking.
"Speaking of which, Xu Yue, did you only encounter barrier seals in this cave before? Are there any enemies?" Sang Wenlian spoke softly, changing the topic.
"No... there is an enemy, but I didn't see who it was." Xu Yue couldn't help but think of the old demon who was 131 times older than himself, and his face turned cold for a moment.
"Do you have any guesses?" Seeing his appearance, Lan Wanchu immediately asked. Xu Yue was speechless and just looked up at the sky. Lan Wanchu and the others were startled, and their eyes suddenly turned cold. Then, Wang Ba and others also reacted and became expressionless.
In this silent atmosphere, Xu Yue thought of a lot. Who provided the information on the culvert? According to what Gu Xingzhou said, they are the Whisperers, that group of mysterious people in the Western Desert.
As a matter of fact, it records
The guardian clan that "the past monument was on the shore of the North Sea" must also be fake! So, is there something wrong with the Whisperers group, or is there someone with ulterior motives infiltrating it?
"Everything is planned. A hundred years ago, it was Zuo Qingxuan who asked Brother Gu to go to the Western Desert to join the Whisperers and immerse himself in his mentality. Could this matter be related to the Qingyuan Immortal Kingdom? That's not right... According to reports According to Xiang, a native of the West Desert, the Whisperers have existed for a long time and are huge in scale. No matter how powerful Zuo Qingxuan is, can he still control the entire Whisperers and devise traps?" Xu Yue thought for a while, and then After regaining consciousness, he turned back to look at Lan Wanchu and asked reluctantly: "Senior Lan, Liang Zong and Gu Kui are all the strongest generations in their respective sects. Logically speaking, the sect should have a means of resurrection. That’s right, is there any turning point?”
"No." After hearing the question, Lan Wanchu shook his head, and combined with the information he knew, he frowned and said: "The other party did it very thoroughly. When the two bodies were discovered, not only all life was wiped out, but also The remaining souls in the physical body have been completely cleared away, the sea of consciousness has dried up, and there is no way to recover.”
"Where's the soul lamp? No trace of the true spirit left?" Xu Yue asked.
"The soul lamp has long been destroyed by the murderer through the secret method...Xu Yue, you know, when you reach a certain level, this is not difficult at all." Lan Wanchu whispered, and Xu Yue also fell silent after hearing this. The disciples watching on the side already had cold hands and feet, and their hearts were numb.
"That's all." After a long time like this, Xu Yue stopped worrying about the deaths of Liang Zong and Gu Kui, and turned to ask: "Jia Ye from Mirage, I had an encounter with her before during the battle of Dishan. Yuan...she escaped, but did you see who the murderer was?"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid we have to go to the mirage to find out the specific situation." Lan Wanchu shook his head, glanced at the west, and said solemnly: "As I said just now, it is best to keep this information confidential until we find out who the murderer is, so I'm not very sure what's going on... Now Jiaye has been protected by layers of mirage, and there are four peak Tianxuan realms around her, including Master Zhiqing from Kushiyuan, who can be used at any time. one sight."
"Is that so..." Xu Yue touched his nose. He had already heard the hidden meaning of Lan Wanchu's words. Combined with his previous guess about the Whisperer, he made a decision after thinking about it for a while.
"Is Fu Xiang going back to the Western Desert?" Xu Yue asked.
"Ah? Yes." Fu Xiang glanced at Xiao Hu, nodded and replied.
"In that case, I will send you back to the surviving clan this time, and Xiao Hu will come with me... Lord Turtle." Xu Yue turned around and said seriously to the old turtle: "I will leave the base to you, as well as our plan. It must be implemented steadily.”
"Go ahead, go ahead. I've only been guarding the house once or twice. Don't you feel relieved?" Wang Ba waved his hand impatiently.
Xu Yue bowed his hands apologetically, then looked at Xin Ling and said in a deep voice: "Sister, I heard it just now. You go back to Huangcheng first and tell Mr. Chang and the others about this. Remember, use the teleportation array."
"Yes." Xin Ling nodded and agreed obediently.
"As for you..." Finally, Xu Yue looked at the blue-haired girl with an eager face and felt a little headache.
"I'll go with you!" The next moment, Lan Ruyan immediately helped him make a decision and stepped closer. She wanted to hold Xu Yue's arm and act coquettishly, but she didn't dare to do so in front of her father.
"No, Yan'er, you have to go back." But Xu Yue thought about it and refused. Looking at the girl with a bitter look on her face, he said patiently: "The enemy is unknown. Your identity is too special and you are likely to become a target! It's better to wait and see. In the Lan family, everything is safe."
"I don't!" Lan Ruyan immediately curled her lips.
"Yan'er!" As soon as she finished her words, an unquestionable scolding sounded beside her. Lan Wanchu's eyes were majestic and he said in a deep voice: "Stop messing around, come home with me later, and don't pester Xu Yue! If you don’t break through the Shenteng Realm this time, don’t even think about leaving home!”
"I, I... Wu..." After hearing his father's words, Lan Ruyan knew that she would definitely not be able to follow him. She could only look at Xu Yue reluctantly, buried her head deeply, and said A whimpering sound.
"Okay, I will be back early." In response, Xu Yue smiled helplessly, then turned his head to the west, his expression gradually became solemn, and he stopped talking.
There was the most unfamiliar land to him. Western Desert.
