Chapter 248 Suspicion

Haitang City.

early morning.

It had just dawned, but the entire city's upper echelons and nobles were already in chaos.

A total of sixty-eight corpses were nailed densely on the outer wall of the Jiuxin Haitang family. All sixty-eight people were soul masters, and they were all high-ranking members of the Jiuxin Haitang family. The weakest ones were all soul emperors. The patriarch of the Xin Haitang family and many elders all died.

Suddenly, the entire Haitang City was shaking. The city lord immediately ordered the entire city to be sealed off, and immediately sent people to report to Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire.

Of course, the lord of Haitang City also understood that the blockade in the city was in vain. Since the Jiuxin family was able to kill the strongest members of the Jiuxin Haitang family in one night, how could his soldiers and generals be so powerful? What can be resisted? He just prayed that those who killed the Jiuxin Haitang family soul master would not find him.

The Tiandou Empire naturally has its own special communication method. In just two hours, the capital of the Tiandou Empire, Tiandou City, had already received the news.

Emperor Xueye sat in the main hall, looking at the urgent document in his hand, he couldn't help frowning, subconsciously clenched the document in his hand, and ordered: "Call Qinghe."

"Okay, Your Majesty. I'll go right away." The servant serving on the side quickly walked out of the palace.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father." In less than a quarter of an hour, Xue Qinghe's figure appeared in the main hall.

"Qinghe, how did you handle Master Shi's matter?" Emperor Xueye asked in a deep voice.

A glint flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes, he raised his head and told Emperor Xue Ye again the reply he gave to Shi Quan in the Prince's Mansion.

After hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye could not help but be slightly silent, because there was no problem with Xue Qinghe's handling.

"Look at this document. It was sent urgently from Haitang City this morning." A servant took the document from Emperor Xue Ye and handed it to Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe took the document, and when he read the contents of the document, he couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that Shi Quan would attack so fast and so fiercely, hunting down sixty-eight people in one night, and also... No one from the Jiuxin Haitang family noticed anything unusual.

"Qinghe, isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Emperor Xueye's scrutinizing eyes fell on Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe said directly: "Father, I do not think it is a coincidence. I think this matter was exactly what Master Shi did."

Emperor Xue Ye said in a deep voice: "According to the report of the document, the people who were killed were divided into five situations, one was penetrated, one was poisoned, one was entangled and restrained, and the other was hit hard. , there is also a kind of person with no obvious injuries on the surface of the body, who should be killed by a spiritual soul master. In other words, at least five people, even if it rains heavily, can kill so many people quietly in the Jiuxin Haitang family. These five people Their strength is probably above that of Contra."

Xue Qinghe said calmly: "Father, the three major education committees have always been in Tiandou Royal Academy and have nothing to do with this matter. I don't know where Master Shi got the help from. It must be the friends he met while traveling."

Emperor Xueye continued to ask: "How do you think this matter should be handled?"

"The Jiuxin Haitang family has been severely damaged, and the empire can take this opportunity to recruit them under the pretext of investigating the murder. Whether this matter was done by Master Shi is just a conjecture by the ministers. There is no evidence. The empire wants to investigate, so naturally needs time."

Emperor Xueye pondered for a moment and said: "You are responsible for following up on the recruitment of the Jiuxin Haitang family. This matter is very important. There are sixty-eight soul masters, and their strength is higher than that of the Soul Emperor. For the empire, this loss is It’s not young anymore, there are still people who did it, let’s investigate clearly.”

"I understand." Xue Qinghe nodded.

"Go." Emperor Xueye waved his hand.

"My dear, please leave." Xue Qinghe immediately turned around and left.

Looking at Xue Qinghe's leaving figure, Emperor Xue Ye was silent for a while before he said slowly: "Send someone to investigate this matter secretly."

"I understand, Your Majesty." A dark shadow walked out from behind Emperor Xueye and disappeared into the hall.

The sudden emergence of forces behind Shi Shen made Xue Ye a little more wary of him. On the mainland, a soul master family with two Soul Douluo could be destroyed silently in one night, except for the Wuhun Palace. Besides, Emperor Xueye really couldn't think of other forces.

It would be good if the investigation revealed that these mysterious people did not belong to Wuhun Palace. If they were related to Wuhun Palace, Shi Quan could only nip them in the cradle even if they were beneficial to the empire.

Qibao Glazed Sect.

After Xue Qinghe left the hall, he ordered people to convey what happened in Haitang City to the Qibao Glazed Sect in the form of letters.

Ning Fengzhi looked at the contents of the letter and his expression became serious.

He didn't expect Shi Quan to strike so harshly and decisively.

"Fengzhi, there are so many masters hidden behind Shi Quan?" Sword Douluo said in surprise.

Ning Fengzhi frowned and said in distress: "Unknowingly, it seems that Shi Quan has grown to a point where we have to face it. It seems that these three soul bones need to be better."

"Silently assassinating sixty-eight members of the Jiuxin Haitang family, including two Contras." Bone Douluo's expression also became serious, "It's easy to kill people, but if you want to kill them quietly, even if you Even me and this old guy Chen Xin couldn't do it, how did they do it?"

"From the investigation of the corpse, there were at least five people involved in the action. Dugu Bo must have participated in it. As for the other four, it is hard to say, especially the mysterious weapon spirit master who was pierced. He killed the most people, and one of them was a Soul Douluo, at least a Titled Douluo, and his strength was probably stronger than Dugu Bo."

Jian Douluo said fearfully: "As for the other three, their strength is at least around Soul Douluo. Two Titled Douluos and three Soul Douluos, Shi Quan was able to mobilize so many strong people? I'm afraid there is some force behind this?"

"Uncle Jian, do you want to say it's the Spirit Hall?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Jian Douluo.

Sword Douluo nodded and said, "There is no such possibility."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "Shi Quan is very smart and calm. If he is really a hidden chess piece of the Spirit Hall, how could he be exposed so easily for such a small matter."

Bone Douluo said, "Fengzhi, isn't there a saying that cleverness can backfire? Is it possible that he wants to use your understanding of him to deliberately mislead you, otherwise how can we explain this sudden appearance of a strong man?"

"Uncle Gu, what you said is unreasonable. His Majesty will definitely be suspicious of this matter and investigate Shi Quan, but if Shi Quan has no problem, this may be our opportunity to make friends with him."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed, "The matter of soul bones must be dealt with as soon as possible..."

On the other side, Tiandou Royal Academy.

After Shi Quan nailed the corpse of the Nine Heart Begonia family to the outer wall, they returned to Tiandou Royal Academy overnight.

At this time, everyone was doing their own things leisurely, as if nothing had happened.

After one night of assassination, Shi Quan and others also gained a lot, including four soul bones.

One of them was obtained from the treasure house of the Jiuxin Haitang family, and the other three were obtained from the bodies of the soul masters they killed.

Three of them are thousand-year-old soul bones, and only one is about ten thousand years old, but the age is only about ten thousand years.

As for the attributes, from the perspective of perception, two of them are biased towards explosive power, one water attribute and one thunder attribute.

Although the age is not high, Shi Quan, who has a soul bone transformer, has no requirements for the age. As long as the number is sufficient, he can completely use the soul bone transformer to fuse these soul bones into a top-grade soul bone suitable for everyone.

As for the others, apart from money, most of them are some rare treasures, such as special metals, some special soul guides and some medicinal herbs. Although they are not of much use to Shi Quan, Shi Quan classified them and put them all in the treasure bag. Anyway, the space of the treasure bag is unlimited, and he may use them someday.

"Xiao Quan, Xue Qinghe is here." Shi Quan was studying souls in the house, and Ye Lingling's voice came from outside.

Hearing this, Shi Quan immediately walked out of the room.

"Brother Xue, why did you suddenly come to visit me?" Shi Quan greeted him with a smile.

Xue Qinghe smiled, "Brother Shi, don't you know?"

Shi Quan pretended to be confused and said, "I don't understand what Brother Xue is talking about?"

Xue Qinghe shook his head, "Let's talk in your room."

"Let's go."

Shi Quan smiled and took Xue Qinghe into the room.

"You really caught me off guard." As soon as he sat down in the room, Xue Qinghe's helpless voice rang out.

"I said I would solve it myself."

"If you had just gone and made a big scene, this matter would have ended well, but you chose to kill 68 soul masters of the Nine Heart Begonia family on a rainy night. The lowest strength was the Soul Emperor, and it did not attract anyone's attention. This move was too shocking." Xue Qinghe shook his head, "Although you did not leave any evidence in this matter, a little investigation can guess that it was you who did it. His Majesty has already become suspicious of you, and so is the teacher."

"Suspicion?" Shi Quan said slowly: "It doesn't matter, they are just worried that these strong men are from the Spirit Hall, and that I have something to do with the Spirit Hall. As long as I can explain the origins of these strong men, this matter will naturally end."

"What are you going to do?" Xue Qinghe raised his eyes and looked at Shi Quan.

Shi Quan raised his hand and touched the treasure bag, and a corpse frozen by ice appeared in the room.

Xue Qinghe was stunned when he saw the corpse in front of him. His eyes turned blood red. He stared at the corpse and said, "Did you kill Tang Hao?"

"Yes." Shi Quan nodded and said, "When I went to the Xingdou Great Forest to obtain the spirit ring, Tang Hao got the news from somewhere and secretly followed us to the Xingdou Great Forest. He wanted to keep me in the Xingdou Great Forest forever, but he failed to kill me and fell in our hands..."
