Moonwind Wonderland's response was undoubtedly rapid, but the problem was that their mountain gate was too far away from the location of the incident. Even the communication talisman would take a day, not to mention that it would take several days to fly back in the flesh.
To the end of the field.
This time difference is a chance for the six major factions to breathe. But they are still a little dissatisfied and annoyed. Because if they had been more vigilant at the time and not given Huo Dong a chance to be summoned, this time difference could have been at least doubled.
Even a month is possible. But now, the time is much less.
Sanwan Town has been reduced to ruins, and none of the six major sects have any informants left. The main reason is that they are worried about being exposed. After all, the other party will come sooner or later, so you just need to be prepared at all times.
At noon on the sixth day after Huo Dong and other monks from Moonwind Wonderland were ambushed in Sanwan Town, three streams of light fell from the sky on the ruins of Sanwan Town. It was the three elders from Moonwind Wonderland who were sent by Yue Lanping.
: Great Elder Kun Xu, Third Elder Pang Bo, Fifth Elder Zhao Dexin.
The three of them all carried magic weapons on their backs, all of which were magic weapons that came from the upper world.
"As expected."
Seeing that Sanwan Town was in ruins and scorched black, the Great Elder Kun Xu shook his head and expected that this place must have been destroyed.
Pang Bo also frowned and said: "Let's search again. It's already here. I don't want to miss any possibility."
"Okay then, Lao Zhao is responsible for the security. You and I will search again." Kun Xu nodded, still agreed with Pang Bo's opinion, and prepared to search the ruins.
After a while, the two of them finished their work. Pang Bo shook his head and sighed: "It was really cleaned up, without any clues left. Brother Kun, what do you think?"
Kun Xu pondered for a while and suddenly said: "That's not entirely true. Have you noticed that there are very few remains of corpses here."
Hearing what Kun Xu said, Pang Bo and Zhao Dexin also reacted immediately.
"Yes, the town here doesn't look too small. There should be dozens of households or even more. But even if the corpses here were burned, there are still some remaining, and they are too few. This
Not logical!"
Zhao Dexin also said in a deep voice: "According to the information sent back by Huo Dong, they were poisoned by mortals in the inn in this town. This means that the mortals in this town also actually participated in the ambush of our mountain gate.
.Now that there are not enough corpses in the ruins, could it be said that all the mortals in the town evacuated before the ambush started? But why didn't Huo Dong's message mention this?"
Kun Xu analyzed: "There are two possibilities. One is that Huo Dong did not think of these details because the situation was critical at the time; the other is that the message capacity of the messenger talisman was not enough for him to stuff everything in, which led to this
Possible clues were ignored."
"What does Brother Kun mean?"
"I think it should be the latter. The capacity of the communication talisman is not large, especially when Huo Dong communicates over such a long distance and he has run out of energy at the time, it is very rare to be able to attach so much information.
It’s logical to leave out some.”
Pang Bo also intervened and said: "Brother Kun, if your guess is correct, then the people in this town should be our only clues now. They should be able to know something."
"Let's go without further ado. Except for the direction we came from, let's search separately in the other three directions. They are all mortals. Our journey in the past few days cannot exceed a thousand miles. We use magic tools to communicate with each other every half cup of tea.
How about just in case something unexpected happens?"
"good!"
"Let's set off without further ado."
After saying that, Anren moved separately, all at extremely fast speeds.
Searching within a thousand miles in three directions, east, west, north and west. This is not a difficult task for a master in the Human Realm. With the addition of divine thoughts and the art of soaring into the clouds, it takes less than half an hour.
A discovery was made.
The sound transmission magic weapon is not as long-distance and detailed as the transmission talisman, but it is more convenient in that it can communicate in real time. At this time, Zhao Dexin, who was searching for Beibei, sent a message with a gloomy voice to Pang Bo and Kun Xu. The latter two people were anxious.
He hurriedly turned back from the east and west directions and rushed to where Zhao Dexin was, which was in a mountain col more than a hundred miles away from the ruins of Sanwan Town.
"This is!"
"They should be the residents of Sanwan Town. Gee, there are quite a few, four hundred and fifty-seven people."
"Hey, let's go down and have a look."
Descending from the clouds, in front of the elders of the Three Months Wind Wonderland was a pile of corpses. The strong smell of corpses could not be blown away by the wind. Dozens of ferocious-looking wolves or crows feasted on these corpses, forgetting themselves even to see living people.
Don't even dodge.
Everyone in Shanwan Town, young and old, is here. Whether it’s Zhang Tie’s family who is preparing to move elsewhere to start a new life, or the family of inn chefs who poisoned Huo Dong and other dead ghosts, or ordinary people who don’t know the whole story.
All the residents of the town are lying here.
When he was alive, he was assigned to do things and took huge risks. Now that he is dead, no one in the corpse capital restrained himself, and he abandoned the mountains and fields. This end is really a bit miserable.
"Judging from the degree of putrefaction, these people should not have been dead for more than three days. This is also consistent with their journey, from Sanwan Town to here." Kun Xu waved his hand, and a relatively complete corpse appeared.
Wrapped in a ball of flames, it only burned the body but did not damage the bones of the corpse.
"There are no wounds on the outside of the corpse, but all the bones in the body, including the skull, are shattered. This was caused by the powerful force of the force. Take a look again."
In one moment, a dozen flames rose up, and a dozen bones were burned out. The situation was all the same.
"So, these people were all killed by magic when they were passing by here? But why not dispose of the bodies?"
"They are all ordinary people. Even if they know some information, but now they are dead, what will be left? It doesn't matter if the bodies are not disposed of."
"Why don't you try conjuring spirits?"
Pang Bo shook his head and said: "I tried it. The souls of these people were scattered. The people who killed them did not leave their souls behind. Not only that, the brains of these people were also shattered. If you want to use the living corpse language
Words won’t work either. Humph, the person who did this is quite ruthless and cunning.”
Kun Xu sighed, knowing that the clue seemed to be broken again. But he couldn't say anything, so he could only say: "Let's explore around first. I hope I can find some useful clues."
"Um."
Searching for corpses is not an easy job in the first place, let alone these three high-ranking figures. You can imagine how you feel. But you can't be careless and look through each body carefully while getting angry.
"Huh? A letter?"
Pang Bo unfolded the letter and saw that the letter read: My ancestors have personally informed me that the child has fulfilled his instructions and cooked two tables of food to send those people off. Now he is heading to the ancestral land of Jiangyin in the north according to his ancestors' instructions, and there are still several others with him.
Hundreds of people, all innocent townspeople. The child made the decision privately and notified them in advance to evacuate the place to avoid being harmed. I hope the ancestors will take them in for the sake of the child's filial piety and quick work...
The letter was not finished, and the ink marks were written several times. I guess I wanted to wait until I got out of the mountain and to the inn before sending it out.
"Brother Kun, it seems that our luck is pretty good. Those people were too confident and missed this." After reading the letter, Pang Bo smiled and said to Brother Kun, and raised his eyebrows at the same time.
