Deep in the Forest of Eternal Silence, on a large patch of wet grass covered with various weeds like bushes, Feng Jueyu and others discovered two pools of blood.
The two pools of blood were not large. They were scattered blood spots in two areas that could not be seen without careful observation. They were only about two people's height adjacent to each other.
There was a pool of blood deep in the grass. It looked like someone had fallen into the grass before, crushing some plants until their roots broke. The early morning dew was still hanging on the nearby grass blades, making it look crystal clear. The traces of blood were diluted by the dew.
, it is not clear, and there is no bloody smell, but in fact there are two extremely small pieces of palace gauze cloth hanging on the sharp thorns, floating around in the wind.
Another pool of blood is on the gentle slope due north. It is a huge spot of blood. It seems that someone sprayed it on the ground deliberately. Part of the blood has seeped into the soil. There is also a bright red mark on the ground. In addition,
Outside, there are several scratch marks on the ground. The soil has been slightly turned up, revealing fresh soil, leaving scattered finger pits.
Feng Jueyu and Xiaoyue Sect's three thousand troops all gathered here. Near the two pools of blood clues, they were surrounded by experts who came from Lingzhou, except for Feng Jueyu, Feng Qingxiao, Yi Bingyan, and Guangxiao Zhenren.
, Lin Lie, Wei Xu, Han Baobao, Dezi, Lu Changxing, Hu Yan Qinghai, Huang Tianjue... almost everyone was present.
Xie Ran and Wei Yihang personally led the team and conducted a large area of search in the woods near the two pools of blood clues, but in the end still found nothing.
The three thousand swordsmen of the Red Palace are distributed in all directions of the Forest of Eternal Silence, and there are strong signs of occupying the entire forest. Each one of them has a sullen face and says nothing, watching the surroundings vigilantly. All Zhongtian cultivators who practice in the Forest of Eternal Silence
, they were all frightened by such a battle and ran as far as they could, constantly guessing in their hearts the origins and intentions of this group of people.
Near the blood stain clues, Feng Jueyu squatted on the ground with a gloomy face to observe the distribution of blood stains, and asked in a low and cold tone: "Is it gone when we get here?"
Xie Ran quickly came behind Feng Jueyu and replied with a sharp voice: "Yesterday evening, the disciples in red found the body of a Qingluan python in the distant mountain forest, and found that someone had dug out the snake's gall. We followed it along the way.
When we came down, we did find the same snake and python corpses along the way. They were all dug out of the gallbladder, leaving demonic essence behind. Based on the clues and analysis by my subordinates, it was most likely that the elder Wu was too seriously injured and escaped by preying on snake gallbladders along the way.
We have arrived here, but there are no footprints or traces of damage by divine power in front of us. This is probably where the elder witch will appear last."
Huang Tianjue squatted beside Feng Jueyu, immersed himself in thought for a moment and said: "The elder shaman practices extremely cold ice and snow magical arts. Cold objects have a beneficial effect on his cultivation. I agree with Xie Ran's inference. What was there before?
There are also some footprints of different shades left in the muddy grass. Judging from the size and depth of the footprints, they just match the footprints of the elder witch."
"Have you found any other footprints or any other clues?" Yi Bingyan asked anxiously.
Weiyi came out of the terminal and said: "Yes, not long ago, there were traces of practitioners passing by here. There were not many people, only about seven or eight people. According to the qi left on the grass and trees, the cultivation levels were uneven, but not
I can guarantee that they are the pursuers."
Lin Lie blinked, raised his head, glanced at the surrounding environment, and hummed: "There are few people here, and there are few traces of people accompanying group practitioners. With so many people, if they are not chasing soldiers, I really can't figure out what they are.
Who could actually hang around in such a useless place for so long?"
"Yes, yes, I also think it should be a clue left by the people who were chasing the elder witch, but they seemed to be very careful. As soon as we arrived here, all the people were gone, and not even a shadow was caught." Dezi said.
"Whoa!"
Feng Jueyu raised his head and looked at Xie Ran, two balls of anger burning in his stern eyes.
Xie Ran felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly replied: "Deputy Sect Leader, there is no news from the sect. Elder Wu is still alive."
"Since you are still alive, you were taken away. Feng Qingxiao, you said that Qiushui Jiantan will hold a son-in-law selection competition in the clan today. Do you know where it will be held?" Feng Jueyu asked coldly, everyone present
Everyone trembled.
Yi Bingyan realized that Feng Jueyu was going to cause big trouble, and quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Husband, don't worry, Qiushui Jiantan is an important place for dancers. We were not invited, so we went over to ask for someone rashly. Dancers are absolutely
We won’t agree easily, let alone whether it was someone from Shanhai Academy who did it. We don’t have any conclusive evidence yet, so you can’t mess around?”
Feng Jueyu had a gloomy face and said nothing, just looking straight at Feng Qingxiao.
When the latter saw Feng Jueyu's fearless expression, he immediately blushed in embarrassment.
The matter was of great importance, and he could also feel the cruel murderous intention gradually rising from Feng Jueyu's body, but what Yi Bingyan said was right.
Although the dozens of corpses found in Lingxin Valley all had traces of the "Tide-raising Sword Technique", based on just such a few clues, it was impossible to confirm that the person who hurt Wu Yingxue was someone from Shanhai Academy.
In addition, the competition for choosing a son-in-law in Qiushui Jiantan is extremely important. It is a rare event for hundreds of years. On the day of the competition, there are countless masters from all walks of life in Jiujie Mountain. If Feng Jueyu fails,
If you go in in anger, if something happens to you, you will be unforgivable.
Thinking like this, Feng Qingxiao paused silently, and did not directly tell Feng Jueyu the location of the Qiushui Sword Pool. Instead, he followed Yi Bingyan and persuaded: "I think Madam's concern is justified. Vice Sect Leader Feng,
How about we look for it again, what if it’s not someone from Shanhai Academy who did it?”
Feng Jueyu stood up with a loud sound, looked around, and said in a cold voice: "Whether it was done by people from Shanhai Academy or not, now that Elder Wu's people are gone, we must seize the time to conduct a thorough investigation. If anything happens during this process,
If she dies, how will I explain to my wife, Feng Qingxiao, tell me where the Qiushui Sword Pond is?"
Feng Jueyu's voice was high-pitched and cold, with a strong sense of oppression. The key was that he had been particularly obsessed with practicing the Dark Origin recently, and his whole body highlighted a special temperament that was different from what everyone was familiar with before.
That kind of temperament is like the devil awakening from hell. His whole body is filled with a compelling death aura. Even his two bead-like pupils are full of demonic nature and coldness, which makes people look at him intimidatingly.
Feng Qingxiao took two steps back, very frightened. When he saw Yi Bingyan shaking her head at him, she quickly waved her hands and said: "No, no, even if you are my wife's elder, I will
I can't let you die. Qiu Shui Jian Tan has indeed become much weaker in recent years, but after all it is still the top Supreme Heavenly Sect, with three great ambassadors and even the Dragon King's inheritance behind it. You just go through it. If anything happens,
I can't take responsibility for what happened."
"Feng Qingxiao, come here."
Feng Jueyu's pupils shrank and he took a step forward, as if he wanted to kill someone.
When Yi Bingyan saw that Feng Jueyu's anger was completely aroused, she immediately ran forward and stretched out her arms to stop him. At the same time, she raised her head and swept Feng Jueyu's pupils. There were a lot of black bloodshot eyes in the whites of her eyes.
Startled.
She held Feng Jueyu's arms tightly and said, "Wake up, what's wrong with you?"
The turbid pupils showed signs of shaking under the shaking, but they were immediately catalyzed by the magic in his heart. With a snap, Feng Jueyu stretched out his hands to hold Yi Bingyan's shoulders and shouted in a low voice: "Bingyan, don't do it."
Stop me, if you believe in my strength, nothing will happen to me."
Yi Bingyan's eyes flashed with tears, and she screamed at the top of her lungs: "Can you calm down a little? Everyone is anxious about something happening to Yingxue, but if you rush over like this, you will not only put yourself in danger, but also drag yourself down."
I believe you have the ability to protect yourself, but if you hurt someone inside, those innocent injured people are the descendants of the top Tianzong in Jiujie Mountain. Will they let it go? Do you think?
Are you going to let the entire Xiaoyue Sect lose years of hard work because of your reckless behavior?"
Yi Bingyan roared at the top of her lungs. When Lin Lie and others saw that Feng Jueyu seemed to be possessed, they suddenly realized and quickly winked at everyone, then took the lead and knelt on the ground: "Brother, let's calm down.
The overall situation is more important."
As many as a hundred people nearby heard the sound and knelt on the ground, saying in unison: "Deputy Master, please put Xiaoyue's overall situation first."
It has to be said that the arrangement Shangguan Ruomeng made before Feng Jueyu left was indeed a cruel move. He understood Feng Jueyu's personality. When encountering this kind of thing, once someone touches the bottom line in Feng Jueyu's heart,
Feng Jueyu would definitely make the most extreme move regardless of the risk, and she arranged for Yi Bingyan to follow Feng Jueyu because she was afraid that if something like this happened, no one would be able to persuade Feng Jueyu.
Yi Bingyan Bingxue was smart. At first glance, she saw the color of Feng Jueyu's pupils and felt the unexpected demonic nature emanating from him. She quickly hugged Feng Jueyu tightly and said loudly: "Are you practicing some kind of demon?"
Now that you've done it, no matter how aggressive you were in the past, you still wouldn't have become like this. Anyway, you can't just let it go, let's think of other ways."
As soon as these words came out, Feng Jueyu's inner impulse seemed to be dissolved by a wave of fiery warmth. The influence of the dark source on his consciousness slowly dissipated, and his pupils gradually returned to normal.
He looked at Yi Bingyan in front of him and was stunned. After a moment of silence, he gently held Yi Bingyan's face and let out a long breath.
"Let me adjust my breathing for a while."
Hearing Feng Jueyu's tone gradually softening, Yi Bingyan finally took a deep breath in her heart, broke away from Feng Jueyu's arms, and ordered Xie Ran as if she was almost losing all her strength: "Xie Ran, take Yongji again."
Search the forest and be sure to find useful clues."
