There were dead people again, and the fire in the human base camp not long ago had not yet dissipated, and the shadow of death had once again descended on the disciples of the Seventy-two Alliance.

Before Xia Sheng could ask what was going on, he saw Hua Rufei stand up angrily and grab the collar of a short man with a goatee and who looked to be in his early thirties.

"How did Wu Ming die!"

The goatee also seemed to be very frightened, his eyes were still a little dazed, and when he heard Hua Rufei's loud shout, he immediately trembled and said, "It's none of my business...... I don't know anything......"

"Smack!"

Without waiting for the goatee to finish speaking, Hua Rufei raised his hand and slapped him, and said again in a deep voice: "Wu Ming was standing next to you when the accident happened, how could you not know anything!"

The goatee cried and didn't dare to resist, but repeated like a demon: "I really don't know, I don't know......"

Seeing this scene, Xia Sheng immediately frowned, turned his head and pulled Xu Changlong, who was pale, to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Is the person who died from your team?"

Xu Changlong was already in a state of confusion at this time, and he couldn't care about the contradiction between Xia Sheng and Senior Brother Hua for a while, so he just subconsciously replied: "Yes...... Yes, that's Senior Brother Chen of Chongxu Palace, and he has a very good relationship with Senior Brother Hua on weekdays, how can he ......?"

Hearing this, Xia Sheng's heart finally sank completely.

His worst fears finally happened.

Because the murderer actually succeeded in carrying out the assassination in front of everyone!

Not only him, but even Jiang Qiqi and Hua Rufei didn't notice the existence of the enemy at all!

Xia Sheng didn't step forward to inspect the body, but even if he was just standing aside, he could clearly see the terrible blood mark on the deceased's throat.

Very clean and crisp fatal blow.

Before that, Xia Sheng had seen a similar scar.

It was when he traveled from Hakuba Town to Luoyang, Kyoto, that he was in the midst of the civil strife in the Adjudication Division. Cheng Liran looked like he was dying.

Cheng Liran was killed by Meng Qi.

Therefore, the murderer of the Seventy-two Alliance, in Xia Sheng's heart, the biggest suspect is naturally Meng Qi's teacher, the inexplicably missing supervisor of the National Education Academy.

Huang Lao!

If it was really Huang Lao's shot. Xia Sheng believed that with his mysterious assassination methods, even if there were other people around the target, he would never be able to see through his hideout!

This is not only the gap between strength and realm, but also the crushing of experience!

But the question is, why did Huang Lao kill a disciple of Chongxu Palace?

Xia Sheng firmly believes that there must be a compelling reason behind anything that seems unreasonable, but he has not been able to discover it for the time being.

After all, whether it is the current National Church Academy or the Chongxu Palace. Xia Sheng didn't know much about it.

After having his own judgment, Xia Sheng did not inform Hua Rufei and the others of these speculations, after all, this matter is very troublesome to explain, and it is easy to cause further misunderstandings.

And in fact, Chen Qi's death. It is true that it did not allow the footsteps of everyone to stand still for too long.

Although Hua Rufei didn't get too valuable information from the goatee's mouth, he was still a relatively qualified team leader. Knowing that he couldn't stay here for long, at least he wasn't carried away by the anger, but arranged the formation more densely, and after a while, he continued with the others.

After about an hour or so, Xia Sheng saw a tall tower suddenly appear not far in front of him.

In terms of appearance, this tower is quite similar to the Haotian Tower of the barbarians. But the difference is that the tower is made entirely of gold and is inlaid with countless gems and pearls that shine brightly even in the dark.

The moment he saw the Golden Pagoda, Xia Sheng was completely stunned.

Xu Changlong, who had been following Xia Sheng's side, thought that he was stunned by this extravagant scene. He immediately explained in a low voice: "Our team has explored here before, and there are countless gold and silver treasures in the tower, but unfortunately, we still haven't been able to find anything too valuable. ”

Among all of them, only Jiang Qiqi discovered Xia Sheng's abnormality at the first time, but she didn't say anything, just looked at him suspiciously.

Xia Sheng could never have lost his mind because of the majesty of the Golden Pagoda, don't forget, when they first came to the Golden Yuan Secret Realm, they were faced with a genuine golden mountain!

Xia Sheng at that time had never lost his temper, let alone at this time?

However, this time Xia Sheng stood in place and was stunned for a long time, until Hua Rufei, Zhou Hao and the others had already walked in front of the tower, he came back to his senses with some surprise and walked forward hesitantly.

It took a long time for Xia Sheng to finally return to normal, which was a difficult thing for Jiang Qiqi, who was familiar with him, to understand.

But Xia Sheng didn't explain, but walked straight to Hua Rufei and said, "I want to go into the tower to have a look." ”

Hua Rufei was obviously not interested in saying anything more to him, but responded: "Please, anyway, I'm going to stay here tonight, there is a wide view here, and there are buildings to hide, if you really encounter any accidents, you can react early." ”

After saying that, Hua Rufei left, and it seemed that he was continuing to interrogate the short man with a goatee, after all, he was the only witness to Chen Qi's death.

Xia Sheng didn't follow, but said to Jiang Qiqi: "You go take care of Zhang Tiancheng first, and I'll go to the top of the tower to take a look." ”

However, this time, Jiang Qiqi did not leave immediately, but grabbed Xia Sheng's arm and asked in a cold voice, "What's wrong?"

Xia Sheng hesitated for a moment, but finally replied, "I'm not sure for the time being, but my intuition tells me that there is something wrong with this tower." ”

Jiang Qiqi was obviously not satisfied with such a vague answer, but she didn't force it, but slowly let go of Xia Sheng's hand and said coldly: "Be careful." ”

"Hmm. Xia Sheng replied a little absentmindedly, and when he took a step, he walked towards the golden pagoda.

There is a completely open door at the bottom of the golden pagoda, but I don't know if it was originally like this, or if it was pried open when Hua Rufei and others came before, of course, Xia Sheng didn't care about this, he passed through the door very decisively, and entered the tower without a moment's stop.

Sure enough, as Xu Changlong said, there are countless gold and silver jewels piled up in the tower, which are scattered around at random, giving people a very strong visual impact.

Xia Sheng stood in place and observed for a while, then climbed up the golden jade staircase next to him and continued towards the second floor.

The second floor of the golden pagoda is exactly the same as the first floor, with countless gold, silver and jewelry, and the same massive wealth that reflects people's eyes.

Then there is the third layer, the fourth layer......

In a short time, Xia Sheng had already reached the highest point of the Golden Pagoda, but unexpectedly, compared to the other floors, this last floor seemed a little simple, or rather, a little empty, because there was not even half a piece of gold or half a gem here, instead there were runes like ghost paintings on the walls.

It looks like a formation.

However, Hua Rufei and others had studied it for a long time before, and they couldn't understand what this array was for.

Unlike them, at this moment, Xia Sheng suddenly felt that his eyes were a little hot, he slowly walked to the wall, stretched out his hand to caress the scratches on the wall, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised a relieved smile.

I see.
