Du Rong's prediction was not wrong, since he left two days later, the sect tribe found that some disciples did not return for two days, and after checking the sect's exit records, there was no sign of their departure.

So he hurriedly reported the situation, the first person to report was Du Zhengyi of the Alchemy Hall, since Feng Zizhen's retreat, Du Rong, the senior brother, went down the mountain again, and as the temporary head of the Alchemy Hall, he had to inform the elders of the sect of this situation first.

Originally, if only one disciple was missing, this huge Baiyang Sect might not care, but at the same time, there were actually three people who reported missing, and the situation in the dry grass valley outside was also very complicated, the elders in the sect couldn't help but worry about whether there would be any changes in the sect, so they hurriedly mobilized all the outer sect officials of the sect to enter the sect to search the mountain.

There is a great array to protect the sect, and there are only two entrances and exits in the entire sect, so without going out records, the scope of the investigation is naturally placed inside the sect, and the outer gate officials are all called back to the sect and bring their respective dogs to search the mountain.

In fact, the span of Baiyang Sect is only the size of a mountain range, and with the help of the dog's nose, the location of the incident was also found, and two days later, the mess still came into view.

In particular, the cracked ground in the field, scattered and dried black blood, told people that there had been a large-scale battle here, and there was a foul smell here, after all, the three bodies had been here for two days.

This incident suddenly appeared in the Baiyang Sect, which had been calm for a long time, and naturally caused an uproar, first of all, the Qi refining disciples of the Supervision Hall rushed to investigate, and they were also shocked by the scene in front of them, and then reported the changes that had occurred here, and soon alarmed the high-level figures in the sect.

A stick of incense had passed since the outer door officer found this place, and three rays of light flashed in the sky, and three figures appeared.

In addition to Zong Cao, who has always been in charge of the big and small matters in the sect, Yang Tongying, who has a much younger appearance than his actual age, and even the head of the White Yang Sect, Gan Yangqiu, who has always lived in a simple place and never asks about major matters, was shocked.

This person looks middle-aged, but his demeanor is relatively dark, and he doesn't know if he has cultivated some kind of special exercises.

"I've seen the Sect Master, Grandmaster, and Uncle Yang!" all the disciples of the Supervision Hall who were stranded here bowed in unison, and at the same time respectfully handed over a bunch of spirit stones, low-level rune treasures, and that herb: "This is the spirit stone rune treasure found from the two older senior brothers, as well as the medicinal herbs found in the hands of the youngest junior brother of that grade. ”

The three of them fell here, smelling this unspeakable smell, Zong Cao first took the things handed by the disciples and did some inspection, and Yang Tongying frowned deeply, raised his good-looking jade hand and slapped it twice in front of his nose: "Two senior brothers, why do you still need to call a little girl in this vulgar place, with you two and your senior nephews from the Supervision Hall here, there are still things that can't be solved." ”

Regarding Yang Tongying's complaints, the two men on the field seemed to have seen a lot, and Gan Qiuyang didn't pay any attention to her, and walked straight to the place where the fight had taken place.

As for Zong Cao, he had no choice but to show a helpless wry smile, and explained to her: "When it comes to the battle of casting spells, you can't avoid using your own exercises, I heard that the disciples who came to report said that the battle in this seems to be the appearance of two exercises of water and earth, I myself am the fittest of the earth spirit root, and it just so happens that you are the best of the water genus." There is Senior Sister Lao here to feel it, and see where there is still a range of casting residues such as water and wood, which is also convenient for us to judge. ”

"That being the case, that little sister is doing the two senior brothers this favor, I also want to see which Xiao Xiao dares to be presumptuous in our sect, and there is really no one in my sect!"

Although Tong Ying said this, she still covered her mouth and nose and walked to the upwind outlet, pressed her hand to a tree and closed her eyes to perceive it.

The roots, stems and leaves of the flowers and trees that she saw around her were all channels through which she could feel the fluctuations of her aura.

Zong Ke saw that she had entered the state, and he also walked in the direction of Gan Qiuyang, more than ten zhang away, this head was standing in the place where Han Li and the others had fought before his death, carefully observing the traces of the two places. Zong Ke stepped forward and picked up the broken long knife talisman on the ground and checked it, judging from the broken state of the talisman, he knew how fierce the battle was fought by its owner before his death.

"Sect Senior Brother, you are in charge of the affairs of this sect on weekdays, you know all these three disciples. Gan Qiuyang, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

Throwing the talisman in his hand aside, Zong Cao clapped his hands and replied: "Senior Brother in charge, you also think too highly of my old man's memory, but these three disciples have a deep impression on me, and I know them all." The two people in front of you were both seventh-level Qi refining cultivators before their deaths, although their cultivation was not weak, but their reputation was not very good, and usually the two of them would cooperate to do some robbing of other disciples. And the little disciple who fell in the distance was a newcomer who was just recruited by the Alchemy Hall last year, because Senior Brother Feng has fewer disciples, I probably know about it. ”

Hearing this, a rare look of surprise flashed on Gan Qiuyang's dark face, and he muttered, "That's weird." ”

"Senior Brother Head, it seems that you already have an idea of the situation here?" Zong Cao turned his head to look at him and said in surprise.

Pacing back and forth where the two corpses were, Gan Qiuyang looked at the corpses of the two and made a gesture to the marks on the ground, while choosing different places to stand.

If they were all here, they would definitely be surprised to find that although they had erased the traces on the ground where they were at the time, the location that this Gan Qiuyang was looking for was unusually close to the place he was before, and at the same time, he was silently muttering: "No, if you want to cause such damage, then the location of the attack should be here, why are the positions of these two people a little wrong?"

The head of this Baiyang Sect has always respected the one with the highest martial power, although this Gan Qiuyang usually doesn't care about trivial matters in the sect, but if it comes to his combat power, he can definitely rank first in the foundation building period of the sect, and his strong strength is also accumulated by extremely rich combat experience. In such a short period of observation time, the traces of the previous battle have been almost restored, and it is really terrifying.

"This big man had sharp wounds all over his body, but there were no weapons left, and all the wounds had severe frostbite, which must have had to be condensed into ice by condensing the water exercises. On the other hand, it is all impact and crush injury, which is extremely difficult to do except for the exercises of the earth genus. After Gan Qiuyang finished checking it, he said in a deep voice.

"Then from the perspective of the senior brother, these two people have an internal strife due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, and they are fighting with each other, resulting in a situation that leads to the same end?" Zong Cao said and also pointed to the corpse of Man Zhuo in the distance, in his opinion, this is the so-called "stolen goods".

Gan Qiuyang shook his head: "Definitely, although this alchemy hall disciple has this seemingly expensive herb on his body that is worthy of the other party's coveting, in fact, the position where I observed the battle between these two people before their lives was not the best point to cast spells and take each other's lives, but in fact, it was more like this position." And when I look at this place, the degree of destruction of this spell is not like what a seventh-layer disciple of Qi Refining can achieve. ”

As he spoke, he stood where Du Rong had been, but after being repaired by his earth magic, there was not the slightest trace of his footprints left on the ground.

Zong Cao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and exclaimed, "Could it be that someone else did this?!"

"This is exactly what I can't figure out, I can only see the traces of these two attribute exercises here, and it just so happens to be the corresponding attributes of the two dead people. If they died at the hands of outsiders, it must have been done by two people with the same attributes. ”

"If it is two against two, the scope of this battle will not be so large, and if there is only one other person, without the use of talismans, at the same time use the enemy's high-level exercises to kill the other party, even if you and I are people who are about to step into the Jindan stage with half a foot, we have never put any effort into our auxiliary spirit root, but I am afraid that we will not be able to do it." ”

Gan Qiuyang slowly expounded his opinion, indeed, ordinary monks have several spiritual roots, and they can practice other exercises in addition to the main exercises. But generally speaking, the cultivation of the auxiliary spiritual root is progressing slowly, and ordinary monks will not waste time on this at all, so it is simply impossible to think that a monk can cultivate two spiritual powers to a high level at the same time before building a foundation, so he vetoed this absurd idea at the first time.

At this time, Yang Tongying's induction was also done, she had no intention of moving, and said to the two of them from afar: "Two senior brothers, here I only sense a trace of the use of the water exercises, and the range of traces is the area where you are standing, and there should be no other places to explore, so there should be no more." ”

"That seems to be it, there is basically no third person involved, both of them died here, it is estimated that it was caused by infighting. Zong Ke muttered to himself.

The disciple of the Supervision Hall on the side also handed him a notebook: "Two masters, this is the record of the monks of my sect going out of the mountain in the past two days, and I have brought it to you." ”

I took the booklet in my hand and opened the records of the past two days, and there were only a dozen people, and they all had cultivation and handwritten notes. At this level where the average is at the fifth or sixth level of qi refining, it is very dazzling to melt the first layer of qi refining.

"Sect Senior Brother, who is this Durong, and why can the first layer of Qi refining get permission to go down the mountain at any time?" Gan Qiuyang has been obsessed with cultivation all year round, and his understanding of this disciple is naturally inferior to that of other elders.

For Du Rong, Zong Cao can be regarded as very familiar with this name, but he involves some secrets in the sect, so he leaned in and explained in a low voice.

"This Durong is Senior Brother Feng's proud disciple, when he joined the sect two years ago, he was a disciple of the Miscellaneous Spirit Root, but he seems to have a talent for alchemy, so Senior Brother Feng gave him the Spirit Pill to break through the barrier of cultivation, and he has maintained this cultivation for two years, and the dry grass in the sect is all handled by his hands. ”

Introducing the Spirit Pill and the withered grass, there are a few high-level people in the Baiyang Sect who are naturally not unfamiliar, and Gan Qiuyang must also be one of them, since he is a disciple of the Miscellaneous Spirit Root and has to come into contact with the withered grass all year round, he naturally excluded it in his mind for the first time.

Returning the booklet in hand to the disciples, he said to Zong Cao: "It seems that I am too worried, these two people should be greedy for the elixir on the disciples of the Alchemy Hall who went out to collect medicine, and the internal strife caused by the uneven distribution of the spoils of the robbery halfway." However, we can't take it too lightly, we must take more precautions against this change in the Dry Grass Valley, and we must not let the monks from the outside world slip into the sect. ”

This originally seemed to be a very serious accident, but it was hastily ended after being defined as infighting in the sect, except that there were more disciples on duty in the sect, it seemed that the death of these three people was just a drop of water under this complicated wave, and after a slight ripple, there was no sound.
