Chapter 1203: Something Happened in the Hall of Famous Teachers
Qingyuan Empire Famed Master Hall.
Straw mats were placed side by side on the ground, with eight corpses lying on top.
Every corpse is wearing a famous teacher's uniform, with seven stars shining on the chest, showing their identity.
The old man in the middle, Zhang Xuan is very familiar with, because of his unfair treatment, he broke into the hall, and even fought with him... I thought this one would wait for the interrogation at the headquarters, and finally be deprived of the hall master qualification. , actually died here.
"What's going on?" Zhang Xuan frowned, looking at Master Wu.
"It happened this morning...According to the list you gave me, I only interrogated eight people, and as a result... eight master teachers died in the hall!"
Master Wu's face was livid.
After Zhang Xuan learned the list from Emperor Qingtian, he passed it on to him. In order not to startle the snake, he interrogated him quietly. He had just interrogated the eighth person, when his subordinates reported that eight seven-star-level masters had died in the hall.
Including... Hall Master Gou!
Zhang Xuan's face sank.
Eight people were interrogated, and eight famous teachers were killed, and they were all seven-star. Obviously, the other party was giving them a warning.
"Moreover, their death method is the same as Chen Zhe's. Their souls leave their bodies, leaving only their bodies..."
Master Wu continued.
Zhang Xuan was silent.
As soon as he came in, he found out that everyone, including Hall Master Gou, had been detained with three souls and seven souls by means of soul restraint, thus turning them into corpses.
"It's... a ruthless person!"
Clenched fists.
To be able to do this, even Hall Master Gou will not be spared, I am afraid that only ruthless people can do it.
It's just... he was in the Jibei Swamp. According to Emperor Qingtian's confession, there seemed to be some kind of confinement, restraining him, and he couldn't escape... How could he use this secret method to kill so many masters in a row?
"Where were they found?" Puzzled in his heart, he turned his head and asked.
"They were all in their own residences. The family members thought they were resting. They couldn't wake up at dawn, only to find out that they had already stopped breathing!"
After saying that, Master Wu couldn't help looking over: "Is it related to Emperor Qingtian? But Emperor Qingtian...wasn't he killed?"
Emperor Qingtian, as a soul-shaman, possessed this special secret method. Master Zhang had already told him about killing Chen Zhe... Now that they are all dead, who used this trick, so weird?
Death for no reason, without even a little sign, has caused panic in the entire Famed Master Hall, and there is a little fear.
People are afraid of the unknown and incomprehensible, and this is exactly the case.
Hall Master Gou can be said to be the most powerful existence in the entire Qingyuan City, he could not resist being beheaded silently, no matter who it was, his neck would feel cold.
"Emperor Qingtian is dead, but... the person behind him is not dead yet!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"The person behind?" Master Wu was puzzled.
The ruthless thing involved too much, Zhang Xuan didn't say it, even he didn't know about it.
"Well, although Emperor Qingtian is an emperor of the Foreign Spirit Race, but...the inheritance of soul-shaman masters is cut off, he can learn...someone taught him behind the scenes! The person who did it should be this!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"The person who taught Qingtian Emperor Soul Shaman? This person... what strength? He has surpassed the rank of the title empire. I can report to the headquarters immediately and ask him to send someone over!"
Pupils shrank, Master Wu hurriedly said.
The Famed Master Hall has the rules of the Famed Master Hall. Under normal circumstances, for matters that can be resolved by the branch, at most they should report in writing, and the people above will not be allowed to come down.
Firstly, the people in the headquarters are very busy and have no time to wipe their subordinates' buttocks; secondly, it is also a good exercise for the people in the branch.
You have to invite the headquarters for everything... A real senior master teacher, why not be so busy?
But... once the strength exceeds the rank of the titled empire, it will be different, it will involve, and I don't know how many people have lost their lives, so they can apply for the headquarters and send higher famous teachers to deal with this matter.
"How long will it take to send someone over?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"The Qianchong titled empire closest to us has a half-step eight-star master teacher... It will take about ten days for them to send someone over... As for the imperial alliance with eight-star master teachers,
Notice now, it will take twenty days at the earliest to arrive! "
After calculating it, Master Wu said.
"Ten days, twenty days? It's too late..." Zhang Xuan shook his head, his expression solemn: "When these people rush over, I'm afraid Famed Master Hall will die even more!"
"Then what to do?"
Master Wu was a little anxious.
Ten days or twenty days is indeed too late, the other party killed people invisible, eight of them died in one night... If you really want to do it, after such a long time, I am afraid that the seven-star master teachers in the entire Qingyuan Empire will be almost wiped out .
"I don't know the strength of the person behind Emperor Qingtian, but... it shouldn't exceed the Out of Aperture Realm! Otherwise, Famed Master Hall headquarters must have noticed it long ago..."
Without answering his question, Zhang Xuan analyzed.
Although the headquarters of the Famed Master Hall let power go, let the subordinate branches deal with difficulties, but they will often patrol the world, and once they find life that exceeds the level, they will personally deal with it.
The pinnacle of existence in the title empire is the Out-of-Aperture Realm... The fact that this ruthless man's eyes can stay here without being discovered shows that... this limit should not be broken.
"Even if it doesn't exceed the Aperture Realm...but there is a big gap between each level of the Aperture Realm...As long as it exceeds the initial stage, we will not be able to compete!"
Master Wu said.
Out of the body state, the primordial spirit out of the body, can use the power of nature to control the surrounding environment. Every time you upgrade a small level, you need to experience a thunder disaster. The more you experience, the stronger your strength will be. , are not the same, and it can even be said that there is a difference between clouds and mud.
Take the early and middle stages of Leaving Aperture Realm as an example, although the difference between the two is only a small level, the combat effectiveness is several times worse.
The former, ten together, or even arranged in a formation, may not be the opponent of the latter.
Therefore, even if the opponent is still in the Leaving Aperture Realm, but has reached the peak... and the initial stage, the gap is too big, and it is impossible to defeat.
"I know, but I don't know the specific level... But, now is not the time to worry about this, you... Don't you wonder how this guy killed these people?"
Frowning, Zhang Xuan knew that it was impossible to know the opponent's strength based on this speculation alone, but walked around the corpses all over the floor, and said.
"How to kill?"
"That's right, I was attacked by Emperor Qingtian that day. I know their methods. With the help of altars and even souls, they can invade other people's consciousness and detain their souls... That is to say, no matter how powerful the secret method of summoning souls is, they need a medium to be able to absorb them." What is the medium used to kill these eight people? Have you checked carefully?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
The ruthless people use the method of restraining the soul, and the distance is close, and they can be carried out directly, but they are separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, so they can only use various utensils.
For example... the altar!
But Master Wu took away the altar and waited for the headquarters to review. How did these people... die?
"This... I didn't pay attention to this..."
Dazed for a moment, Master Wu didn't know how to answer.
"Check carefully, maybe you can find out something..."
After ordering, Zhang Xuan didn't say any more, and the Eye of Sense turned to look at the many corpses lying in front of him again.
Hall Master Gou's expression was terrified before he died, probably because he had encountered something he couldn't believe.
One after another textures flowed in the eyes, after watching for a while, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
The cause of Hall Master Gou's death was exactly the same as that of Chen Zhe, the soul was taken away and turned into a corpse.
Even with a clear eye, you can't see why.
"By the way, where is King Zhongqing? Where is he locked up?"
Didn't see anything, Zhang Xuan thought of someone and hurriedly asked.
"He was arrested again and locked in the dungeon of Famed Master Hall. The news must not be passed on... Last night, His Majesty Chu Tianxing wanted to see him...but I refused!"
After thinking about it, Master Wu said.
"Chu Tianxing asks for a visit?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
This guy is just a prince, not the emperor's own son, why did he come here when something happened? At a great cost?
"Yes, but the two of them didn't meet... there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Master Wu said.
"I'm not sure about this, but... Chu Tianxing may have a problem too!" Zhang Xuan looked serious.
King Zhongqing, through Emperor Qingtian's memory, it has been confirmed that there is a problem... This emperor is so close to him, even if there is no problem, he would not believe it.
"Do you want to arrest him for interrogation?"
"Don't be too busy. Once interrogated, there will be an uproar, and then there will be even more turmoil... The most urgent thing now is to find the medium that killed these people, what is it... and then find a way to get rid of the mastermind behind it!"
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan analyzed: "Only when the black hand is dead, everyone will be truly safe."
"That's true!"
Master Wu nodded.
What Master Zhang said is right, it is easy to panic if you take action against the emperor of an empire.
Not to mention causing turmoil, more importantly, the investigation has no evidence, which will affect the credibility of Famed Master Hall.
If the Hall of Famed Masters sits on one side, if they want to take action against the empire, they must have ironclad evidence, so that no one can refute it, otherwise, what will other empires think?
Isn't everyone in danger?
Just doubt is not enough.
"I'll send someone to investigate..."
Figured this out, Master Wu said.
"Not only to investigate, but also to prepare some people, and then, let's go to the Jibei Swamp together!"
"Jibei Swamp?" Master Wu was puzzled.
"I suspect that black hand is hiding here..." Zhang Xuan explained.
"Okay, I will choose the most elite force from the Famed Master Hall, and the masters from the Battle Master Hall!" Wu Shi said.
"Well, you prepare in advance, and I will also prepare..."
After making arrangements, Zhang Xuan nodded.
To find the Ruthless Man in the Jibei Swamp, you need to do two things. First, increase the strength of the Jinyuan Cauldron and try to make it reach the state of being out of the body; Thunder Tribulation!
Only in this way can the strength truly reach the Out-of-Aperture Realm, otherwise... with his current cultivation base, Ruthless is not strong enough... If he passes by rashly, he might become the opponent's tonic, and then there is really no way out.
