Just a few hours after Prince Du was discovered, an urgent document was delivered to the desk of Zhao Quan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and at that time, the Seven Princesses had just arrived outside the camp, and they had not yet taken action against the people of the White Lotus Sect.

Zhao Quan wasn't sleeping, he was in meditation all night.

He smelled the unusual smell in the air before the previous saint, an indescribable but creepy, unforgettable smell.

He didn't know what was alarming the sensory system in his body, so he began to sit down, trying to search for the ins and outs of that taste in a state of complete concentration.

It's a pity that he couldn't find anything for a whole night, but the abnormal smell and smell still existed, and it became stronger and stronger, and inadvertently, he found the scene of Prince Yudu's murder, and suddenly woke up with a start.

The search method adopted by Zhao Quan was very cruel, borrowing the power of many subordinates and the souls of the sect, so it was extremely powerful. If he did whatever it takes, he could even search the entire desert region overnight, but the result of doing so would be unbearable for him, not only would those he borrowed his souls wither and die, but even he himself would be so tired that he would lose two souls.

So when the paperwork was placed on his desk, he already knew what was inside.

However, he still read the document in detail, and carefully compared the situation presented with what he saw, he saw the scene in the state of out-of-body investigation, and some places were inevitably ignored, or not carefully enough, and it was still impossible to compare with what was observed at the scene.

He was shocked that the situation described in the document was almost exactly what he saw.

He sighed, thinking of a letter from the previous saintess, describing the tragic death of all the people of that small tribe. Now it can be concluded that Prince Yudu suffered the same thing as them, and the murderers were the same group.

Zhao Quan smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that the White Lotus Sect was inextricably linked at this moment, it was estimated that many people would suspect that they were the suspects in the crime, and they couldn't explain this matter at all.

In fact, this is really an overestimation of their ability, where do they have such mana, if they have this ability, they will not be used on the grassland tribes, and they will have to fight back to attack the imperial court a long time ago.

Zhao Quan sat still and didn't move, thinking back to what Miao Ba told about the case in Datong City, which Miao Ba had seen with his own eyes, and when he came back, he begged him to do a great job to remove the ominous.

In fact, since then, Zhao Quan had a premonition that something was wrong, there was such a demonic murderer in heaven and earth, which was a catastrophe for everyone, including the White Lotus Sect.

However, this case happened in Datong City, and he was busy helping King Alta improve the plan for the autumn offensive, so he didn't put much energy into paying attention.

Now there are two more cases, still on the grassland, which has already posed a challenge to the White Lotus Sect. After receiving the letter from the previous saint, he immediately sent people to investigate, and found that many scattered herdsmen's families had suffered the same tragedy, and people and livestock had collectively become empty shells.

"Sect Master, what kind of demon is this, how can there be such a means, it can't be the Maoshan Taoist priest we don't know about?"

The Third Elder of the White Lotus Sect, Luo Fei, asked beside him.

The Great Elder of the White Lotus Sect, Xiao Yanfeng, accompanied the current Holy Maiden to Beijing City on a business trip, and the Second Elder also went out on behalf of the Sect Leader to discuss with the Coastal Pirate Alliance about the major affairs of mutual cooperation in the autumn, so only the Third Elder Luo Fei in the sect was presiding over the affairs of the sect.

After the urgent arrival of the urgent message, Luo Fei naturally read it first, and felt that this matter was not optimistic, so he hurriedly sent it over to the sect leader in person.

"If it's a demon, it's terrible, but there's another possibility that's even more terrifying." Zhao Quan pondered.

"What could that be?" Luo Fei asked.

"A strange plague." Zhao Quan said slowly.

"Plague? No, any plague is a disease that occurs on the human body, and there is no such disease where the body is intact, only the soul is empty? Luo Fei felt incredulous.

"That's true, but whether it's a demon or a plague, it's a difficult situation to deal with. There is really a catastrophe on the prairie this time. ”

"Can't the sect leader deal with it?" Luo Fei was surprised.

In his opinion, the leader is the embodiment of the gods, omnipotent, and of course the saint is the same.

Over the years, the sect leader has shown great power and lived up to expectations, and he really hasn't seen anything he can't do, and even if he does, it's not known to everyone. In the long run, in the hearts of his subordinates and the people, the sect leader naturally became the embodiment of the gods.

"I can't deal with it, I can't find the source at all, and I don't know if it's a man-made disaster or a natural disaster." Zhao Quan said frankly.

Luo Fei is the patriarch of the sect, and Zhao Quan doesn't need to pretend to be a ghost in front of him, and he looks omnipotent.

"But in the eyes of his subordinates, this is obviously a man-made disaster, if it is a plague, it must be super contagious, after the case in Datong City, it will not take long, whether it is in the mainland or on the grassland, this plague should have spread a long time ago, and there will be a lot of people infected with the plague." Luo Fei spoke his judgment.

"Yes, your analysis makes a lot of sense." Zhao Quan praised.

"Thank you for the compliment, my subordinates just thought of these by chance, not necessarily right. The subordinates felt that the current situation seemed to be a random crime by someone or a demon. Luo Fei hurriedly said humbly.

"You have some truth in your analysis, but you have overlooked one point." Zhao Quandao.

"Ask the Lord for advice." Luo Fei bowed and said.

"You say it's a man-made disaster, but no one has such great ability, you guess that it was the Maoshan Taoist faction, which is even more wrong, the Maoshan Taoist can't produce such a powerful character, even the Heavenly Master Sect Masters of the past dynasties don't have such great mana. I don't underestimate the heroes of the world, but no matter how heroic a person is, even if he is invincible in the world, he can't devour the souls of hundreds of people in an instant, which is not the Tao of the Three Realms and Five Elements at all. Zhao Quan analyzed carefully.

"Devouring? How can it be devoured? Perhaps the souls of these people have been taken away by evil law. Luo Fei retorted.

He knew that Zhao Quan liked his subordinates to express different opinions in front of him, rather than just making promises, that kind of echo worm had no way out in the White Lotus Sect, at least not on the high-level stage.

"If it is a soul detention or a deterrent soul, there needs to be a ritual, and there will still be traces of mana, none of these are at the scene, I don't know about other scenes, but I have seen the scene in Yudu with my own eyes, there is a layer of mist in the sky, like a thick wall that cannot be penetrated, I don't know what it is, but I guess that is the source of this catastrophe."

"Impenetrable? How can it be? Luo Fei was even more surprised.

He knew that what Zhao Quan said was seen with his own eyes, it was seen by the soul out of the body, this kind of soul out of body has no physicality, so it can penetrate any physical barrier, whether it is a house or a wall, it can be passed through, as simple as passing through the air, only those towering, winding hundreds of miles of mountains or torrential rivers, the soul can not penetrate or dare not penetrate.

The sect leader actually said that he couldn't penetrate that layer of mist, which is incredible, what mist can stop the sect master's soul?

"I don't know why, but I really can't penetrate it, and that layer of mist gave me a sense of fear, so I didn't dare to stay longer, so I hurried back."

"What's in that mist?" Luo Fei asked.

"I don't know, but it's an indescribable smell, it's not evil, it's not good, and I can't even say what it is, in short, I can't use human morality, ethics, good and evil, etc., to describe, like a kind of ......" said, Zhao Quan's words were exhausted, and he really couldn't find the right words to describe the feeling of both fear and fear.

Zhao Quan wanted to see what was in the mist at that time, but he couldn't see through it at all, and it felt like a thin layer of mist, but it made him feel like he was creepy when he saw the monster before the flood, of course, in the sense of the soul, what is this mist, or what does it mean?

Zhao Quan was still thinking about it, and he had been concentrating on it, but he couldn't find anything.

Luo Fei saw that the sect leader was deep in thought, so he bowed and saluted, and then quietly retreated.

The city where the White Lotus Sect is located is called Xiaobansheng City, which looks smaller than Bansheng City, but the layout style is very different, both the layout style of the inland city, and the decoration and carving of various palace houses in it have a distinct Persian style, which is the symbol of Mingjiao inherited from the Persian general religion.

In Zhao Quan's Daming Palace, the holy flame in the hall is still burning, as long as the White Lotus Sect is not extinguished, this holy flame will not be extinguished, even if it needs to be relocated to another place, the first thing is to light a torch on the holy fire, and then take this torch to another place to re-ignite the holy flame.

It is said that the current flame is the first flame that was lit from the founding of the ancient Ming religion, and it has been growing endlessly from generation to generation.

In the legend of Mingjiao, this holy fire is not lit by anyone, but God-given, it is a heavenly fire that ignites the altar, so the holy fire is left, this legend in the previous Mingjiao and the current White Lotus Sect, everyone believes, the symbolism of the holy fire is greater than the leader and the holy woman.

In the White Lotus Cult, the sacred duty of the Holy Maiden is to guard the sacred fire, and other matters are secondary.

Why it is necessary for the Holy Maiden and not the Holy Son to guard the Holy Fire, in other words, why the Holy Maiden instead of the Holy Son is chosen from generation to generation, no one knows, anyway, the first generation elected the Holy Maiden, and this rule has been passed down from generation to generation.

Zhao Quan continued to sit cross-legged, but he didn't settle down, but fell into deep thinking. In this state, thinking about problems is much more efficient than usual, which is a special state that Zhao Quan realized in the process of his own cultivation, which seems to be settled but not settled.

He pondered for an hour, and at the same time recalled what he had seen, and this kind of retrospection was meaningful, and many times some important links or truths were hidden in some subtle details.

When his thoughts were over, he sighed, and then stood up, and after an hour of deep thinking, he had learned nothing. The fear in Zhao Quan's heart deepened.
