In large fairy sects, relationships between fellow sects are also divided into distant and near ones. In the Tiangang Sect, Yun Chaoxian was different from Master Tang Shi. They were brothers and sisters in the same sect, but not direct relatives.
The deceased this time was Tang Shi's direct senior brother and her master's direct disciple.
Although this senior brother had left Tiangang Sect more than ten years ago, Tiangang Sect was a very protective sect. No matter how long you have been away, as long as something happens, the sect will take care of you.
In fact, most immortal sects have this kind of responsibility, but Tiangang Sect's is particularly strong. I don't know if it has anything to do with sharing the same brain with the Tiangang Sect's disciples.
When he couldn't find any clues, Yun Chao was the first to say that he could come to Chu Liang for help.
At first, Tang Shi’s master was also doubtful about this, “Is that Shushan disciple really so smart?”
"Most of the time he can do it. If he really can't..." Yun Chaoxian said with great confidence, "I will take action."
"Okay." Tang Shi's master nodded: "Then I'll ask him to give it a try."
Only then did Ji Lingyu and Tang Shi come to Shushan to invite Chu Liang.
Chu Liang naturally helped unconditionally regarding the Tiangang Sect matter. If the immortal sects had a ranking list of people they could be friends with, then the Gang Sect brothers would definitely rank first.
It is justice.
So he briefly arranged the affairs of Hongmian Peak and immediately followed them to Zhennanyu Mountain. Thanks to the Transformation Talisman, which has helped Chu Liang replenish a large number of low-level employees these days, there is no such shortage of manpower now.
The road to Kaoshan City was not far away, and the three of them had already arrived that evening.
Tang Shi's master was already waiting at the inn.
"Junior Chu Liang, I have met my senior."
Although the other party asked him to help, Chu Liang still showed courtesy and saluted first.
"Hey, we invited Young Master Chu here, so don't be so polite."
The master of Tang poetry is named Yan Qihu. He looks like a strong middle-aged man with an angular face and ape-like arms and waist, but he is actually over a hundred years old.
He came downstairs to greet him personally.
Just standing there motionless gave him the power of a ferocious beast lurking.
A hundred years ago, there were eight brothers from the Yan family in the Tiangang Sect. All of them were martial arts geniuses and were known as the "Eight Tigers of the Yan Family", and this one was the seventh among them.
It's a pity that the Yan family has no successors, and there are no outstanding disciples in this generation. But the Eight Tigers of the previous generation are still the mainstay of Tiangang Sect.
The Yan Qihu in front of him is a martial arts master in the seventh realm.
Martial arts practice takes advantage of the first six realms, with fast advancement and strong combat power. But in the three realms of Tianguan, they are obviously weak. In comparison, the number of powerful ones in the seventh realm is very small.
But every one of them is a famous figure.
"I don't dare to talk about invitations. This junior and several disciples of Tiangang Sect are close friends. Whenever you need me for anything, I will definitely be there at your call." Chu Liang said with a smile.
"Very good." Yan Qihu patted Chu Liang's shoulder heavily, "We martial arts practitioners won't engage in such nonsense. From now on, we'll wait until someone in your family dies, and then we'll see how we perform."
"..." Chu Liang couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
Either you speak softly or your hands are soft, that's fine.
Immediately everyone entered the room and took their seats. Ji Lingyu, as one of the few people present who had clear ideas, also began to explain the case to Chu Liang.
…
"The deceased's name is Wei Feng. He was a former disciple of Senior Yan. He left the Tiangang Sect for more than ten years." Ji Lingyu said, "In recent years, he has been making offerings outside Zhennanyu Mountain."
When many people need to go to Zhennanyu Mountain to pick spiritual plants and explore the secret realm, but they are not strong enough to enter alone, and there are no elders from the sect to help them, they need to ask outsiders to escort them.
But this outsider cannot be someone with no background, otherwise there will be no way to kill people and steal goods after entering Zhennanyu Mountain. It is best to be from a large fairy sect and have a certain reputation.
Wei Feng is such a candidate who comes from a large immortal sect and has a good reputation.
Especially the people from Tiangang Sect are particularly trustworthy... they have few evil thoughts.
"Just yesterday, a strange phenomenon appeared in the mountain city." Ji Lingyu paused and said, "According to the observers, the moon turned into blood."
"Blood moon?"
"That's right." Ji Lingyu nodded and continued: "Not long after the blood moon came, three murders occurred in the city... Three city masters turned into monsters and attacked the surroundings crazily."
Turn into a monster...
Chu Liang felt more and more bizarre as he listened.
"Wei Feng was among these three people, one at the peak of the fifth realm and two masters at the sixth realm. The three of them were wreaking havoc in the city and no one could stop them. After a moment, the blood moon faded, and the three of them fell to the ground and died suddenly. .”
Chu Liang frowned in thought.
The blood moon came... turned into a monster... died suddenly in the blink of an eye. These were masters of the fifth and sixth realms, how could they die so easily?
"Right now, there are rumors in the city about whether these three people are of half-demon blood, so they turn into demons and kill people." Yan Qihu continued: "I don't know about those two. I know Wei Feng's parents, and he I also raised them since they were young, so there is no way they have a trace of demon blood. As for why they turned into demons, there must be a hidden secret."
After listening to what they said, Chu Liang nodded and said: "I understand the general situation, why not go and see the body first."
The three corpses were parked in the City Supervisory Department of Back Mountain City. With Yan Qihu's position in Tiangang Gate, he could naturally check them at will.
Although it was already getting late, he still rushed over with a few people.
The Supervisor of the City was also very worried about this matter. He hoped that they could find out this conspiracy by themselves, so he was naturally invited to come in.
Chu Liang also saw the three corpses side by side.
"Wei Feng is a warrior in the sixth realm... This man's name is Liu Ming, he is a peak cultivator in the fifth realm... This man's name is Fang Zhongshan, he is a cultivator in the sixth realm." The people from the City Supervision Department also introduced several people one by one. identity.
Chu Liang naturally didn't know anything about autopsies, but he could feel that there was indeed a faint evil spirit lingering around the corpse. It seems that the theory of transforming into a demon is not a lie.
"Have you found out why they turned into monsters?" Chu Liang asked: "Are there any signs of poisoning?"
"No." The man shook his head and replied: "It has been examined by doctors from the Supervisory Office, and there is no sign of poisoning."
Chu Liang opened the white cloth and took a few glances, only to see that the three corpses all had large scars with open skin and flesh, but it did not look like trauma, but rather like something in the body expanded and cracked the body.
Forget about those two, Wei Feng is a sixth-level warrior and can carry mountains with his physical body.
What force could tear his body apart?
After thinking for a while, he changed his mind and asked: "Then what was the connection between these three people during their lifetime? Do they have anything in common?"
"We are also investigating this, and it is not clear yet..." The people from the City Supervision Department shook their heads again, "Wei Feng and Liu Ming are both worshipers who have lived in the backing city for a long time, and Fang Zhongshan is the head of a small sect in the southern region. . The whereabouts of people like them have always been kept secret, and it’s not easy for us to find out.”
Chu Liang nodded to express his understanding.
Those who are hired to go into the mountains to pick spiritual plants and explore secret places must naturally keep their employers' secrets secret.
But now it has also brought great difficulties to the investigation.
However, if formal methods could not be found, Chu Liang felt that he should go to Gu Erniang's tavern. In Patron City, she might have much more news than the City Supervisor.
While he was thinking, suddenly, there was an exclamation from outside.
"It's red...it's red again!"
"Um?"
He raised his eyes and looked outside, and saw that in the sky where the night was getting darker, the color of the moon gradually turned into bright red... as red as blood!
"Roar--"
Immediately afterwards there was a roar!
"Oops!" said the city supervisor: "I'm afraid someone turns into a demon again!"
"I want to see what's going on." Yan Qihu frowned and rose into the air.
If you can solve problems with your hands, Tiangangmen is very trustworthy.
In the moonlit sky, a thick body half covered with scales jumped up with a roar, and it turned out to be a half-demon human form! This person's eyes were scarlet, his face was ferocious and painful, and he roared and ran high into the sky.
"Roar……"
Soon his eyes turned completely scarlet, as if he wanted to find prey.
But the next second, a snap was heard.
Yan Qihu's figure instantly appeared behind him and grabbed the back of his fate.
"Ouch!" The roar in this man's mouth became stronger and stronger, but he could not break away at all.
Chu Liang and others followed closely and saw Yan Qihu holding the half-human, half-demon monster with one hand. The man had now transformed into a lizard-like being that was more than ten feet long and covered in scales.
He should have had the cultivation of the fifth realm. After transforming into a demon, his strength was not weak. When he struggled, his energy and blood roared like thunder. But in Yan Qihu's hands, it was all useless.
"What on earth is going on..." Although Yan Qihu could easily capture this man, he couldn't figure out why.
Ji Lingyu, on the other hand, had a pair of Xuanyuan pupils that were shining brightly. He stared at this person and seemed to see some clues. Then he heard her exclaim:
"nightmare?!"
Good morning.
