Chapter 699: Quarterfinals

In fact, Ruan Chi's guess was correct, and no one would investigate the real reason for Pastor Li's killing. At this time, the top level of the Huaxia clan, including the patriarch Li Mingzong, was very busy.

This kind of sudden death of a player participating in a Linglong martial arts fight in the middle of the competition has never happened at the past Zhenlong Conference.

When they heard the news of Pastor Lee's death, everyone's reaction was the same, they were dumbfounded.

Twenty minutes later, in a temporary conference room, there were a group of high-ranking members of the Huaxia clan, their faces all gloomy.

"Tuk Tuk!"

The door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed as a priest walked in, followed by a hunchbacked old man.

The middle-aged man walked in front of Li Mingzong first, with a hint of hesitation on his face, and said, "Patriarch, the autopsy has been completed, but it's ......"

"But what? Keep talking! Li Mingzong was obviously in a somewhat irritable mood, and loudly interrupted the middle-aged man's speech.

This middle-aged man is the hall master of Cuizhu Hall, and Cuizhu Hall is also the only hall among the six halls that involves medical treatment and demon refining.

Hearing Li Mingzong's words, the middle-aged man hurriedly lowered his head and said hurriedly: "After the examination of his subordinates, it was found that the cause of Pastor Li's death was because all the internal organs in his body were shattered by some unknown force, and finally he died alive. ”

"Death from salvation? The internal organs are all liquid, and even if there is someone next to them, I am afraid that they will not be able to save it. Among the elders, one of the elders in charge of the Ebony Hall sneered.

Pastor Lee is the head of the Ebony Church, and now that Pastor Lee is dead, he, the direct elder, has a lot of business to deal with.

Elder Li Minghua took over with a stern expression, "We need to know." Not the cause of Pastor Lee's death. It's who killed Pastor Lee. ”

The middle-aged man said, "This subordinate really doesn't know. ”

"Bang!"

Li Mingzong slapped his palm on the table. He said sharply: "I don't know anything, what do I want you to do?" ”

The middle-aged man knelt down in a panic, and was about to argue, when an old voice sounded behind him.

"Patriarch, elders, even if you are angry, it will not help, the priest's child is dead, as for the specific cause of death. We'll also investigate. ”

It was the old man behind the middle-aged man who spoke.

This person's name is Li Liugen, and he is the alchemist of Cuizhu Hall, but his identity is not just as simple as an alchemist of Cuizhu Hall, this person is 162 years old this year, except for the Supreme Elder, but he is older than Li Mingzong, the patriarch, and the elders present.

Hearing Li Liugen, Li Mingzong's anger was suppressed a little, and he sat down again. Xiang Li Liugen asked: "During the Linglong martial arts fight, some players suddenly died. This is not a trivial matter, and it may even involve other players, so we must investigate this matter. Uncle Gen, can't even your old man see anything wrong? ”

The other elders present also looked at this old man Li Liugen with an expectant gaze. However, their expectations were destined to be disappointed.

Li Liugen shook his head and said: "I did my best, the priest's child did die too weirdly, I think about it, I can't think of what kind of power can completely shatter the internal organs in the body without destroying the surface of the body." ”

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Li Mingzong's eyes, in addition to being the most outstanding alchemist in the clan, Li Liugen was also a master who knew a lot about the structure of the human body, and even he couldn't answer it, so Pastor Li's death could basically be identified as a headless case.

"Wait, what did the Terran wizard with Pastor Li say, did you arrest him and interrogate him? After all, he was the only one who witnessed Pastor Lee's death, and it was even very likely that he was the murderer. An elder said suddenly.

The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground immediately replied: "My subordinates have already asked someone, but his spirit seems to be a little abnormal, and he keeps repeating what he says, but we can't hear it clearly." ”

"Could it be pretending to be crazy and stupid?" Li Mingzong asked.

"This Terran mage called Hemmings seems to be the helper you Xipenglai invited back, Elder Li Minghua, do you want to explain?" The elder just now sneered.

Li Minghua said expressionlessly: "Although we invited people back, it doesn't mean that Pastor Li was killed by him, what's more, what good are we doing this?" Don't forget JΓ¬, the dead man is our ebony hall master in Xipenglai. ”

"Enough, what's the point of arguing about this kind of thing at this time, the top priority is what we do next." Li Mingzong said.

……

An hour later.

At this time, in the audience on the arena, a group of Huaxia clansmen were discussing, although Li Mingzong and other high-level officials stopped the game, but because they did not explain the reason, everyone was curious about what made the game stop for so long.

Li Huangrong, who also didn't know the reason, was a little impatient at the moment, and suddenly stood up to leave the audience, but Li Guojing, who was sitting next to her, hurriedly stopped her, "Rong'er, where are you going?" ”

Li Huangrong said seriously: "It's not a way to sit and wait like this, I'll go to Brother Yuanlong and ask, he should know what happened?" ”

Li Guojing was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped: "Rong'er must not do this, it is still the period of Linglong martial arts, and the contestants are not allowed to contact others, and you will cause trouble for Brother Yuanlong if you go to find him." ”

When Li Guojing said this, Li Huangrong remembered that there was such a rule of the game, and she couldn't hold her face a little, and said coquettishly: "You think I'm stupid?" I didn't say go directly to Brother Yuanlong, I just wanted to ......"

Just when Li Huangrong was about to find an excuse to explain, Li Yinong, who had just gone out to inquire about the news, came back, Li Huangrong saw this and immediately left Li Guojing, ran up and hugged Li Yinong's hand and asked, "Sister Yinong, how is it?" Do you know why the game was suspended. ”

Li Yinong shook his head and said lightly: "I went to ask yes, but the patriarch and the elders are still discussing, I haven't seen them, and the others don't seem to have suspended the game for some reason." ”

Unexpectedly, even Li Yinong couldn't find out the reason, Li Huangrong was suddenly a little disappointed, Li Guojing came up at this time and said: "Could it be that there is an accident, such as ......?"

Before Li Guojing finished speaking, Li Yinong stopped him with a look, and then said: "Jing'er, don't talk nonsense if you have no basis." ”

"I'm sorry......" Li Guojing hurriedly shut up.

Li Yinong said to the two of them in a stern tone: "Let's wait here quietly for news, after all, the next quarterfinals of the Linglong Martial Arts Fight are so important, and the patriarchs and elders should give an answer soon." ”

Time passes little by little.

In addition to the spectators in the auditorium, the quarter-finalists waiting for the match in the various lounges also began to feel the unusual time.

It wasn't until another half an hour passed that Li Mingzong and other high-ranking figures of the Huaxia clan finally reappeared on the rostrum, and for a while, all the people who were waiting for the results were watching.

Li Mingzong slowly stood up and announced: "I'm sorry, the game was suddenly suspended for so long, so now, please continue the next quarterfinals, but before that, I have one thing to announce, among the top eight players, Hemings in Group A, and Pastor Li in Group B, they are going to withdraw from the quarterfinals." ”

As soon as these words came out, whether it was the audience or the players waiting in the lounge, everyone was amazed, and everyone didn't expect that two people would suddenly withdraw from the quarterfinals of the Linglong martial arts.

Li Huangrong was surprised: "What happened?" ”

Li Yinong also frowned, and said in a low voice: "Shh, I'll listen." ”

At this time, Li Mingzong on the rostrum continued: "Since two players have withdrawn, in the next quarterfinals, the players who originally played against these two players will automatically advance to the semifinals, and the remaining players will continue to play according to the original battle table. ”

Li Mingzong did not explain the reason why Pastor Li and Hemmings withdrew from the competition, this was the final result of his discussion with the other elders, after all, Pastor Li's death was too weird, if Pastor Li quit the Linglong martial arts fight because of his sudden death, it would definitely cause panic.

In order to smoothly carry out the following games, Li Mingzong and other high-ranking Chinese officials decided to temporarily conceal the news of Pastor Li's death and temporarily detain the mentally disturbed Hemings.

"Then next, the first game of the quarterfinals will begin, and Li Yuanlong of Group A will face Auf of No. 3!"

No matter what, the quarterfinals of the Linglong Martial Arts were still going on as usual, and Auf in the lounge immediately stood up when he heard his name.

"Big brother, I'm going." Auf had been waiting for this moment for a long time, with an excited expression on his face.

Ruan Chi knew that Aoff's opponent would be Li Yuanlong, and after thinking about it, he still called Aoff to stop and reminded, "When you play for a while, you have to be careful, that guy is very powerful." ”

Aofu patted his chest and said, "Big brother, don't worry, although Li Yuanlong is Yinong's fiancΓ©, I won't be soft." ”

Ruan Chi raised his forehead and said: "I didn't mean that, I mean, that Li Yuanlong may be a lot more powerful than you think." ”

Aufu frowned and said: "No, I remember Yinong said that her fiancΓ© is only a mid-level warrior, and his strength is comparable to mine, but in terms of actual combat experience, I am much stronger than him." ”

Seeing that he still looked disappreciative, Ruan Chi simply rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Anyway, if I tell you to be careful, be careful, where is there so much nonsense." ”

Aofu was said by Ruan Chi, but laughed and said: "I understand, since you said this, big brother, it must be right to be careful, I will pay attention." ”

"Knock knock!"

With the sound of war drums, Auf walked into the ring from the south door, while Li Yuanlong slowly walked out from the north door, and after a while, the two stood still in the ring. (To be continued......)
