The black-robed man quickly cleaned up the scene and strode back to his seat, without saying a word or showing his true face.

Yun Que frowned.

The existence of the sword vein enhances its own hearing.

It's just that the strange sound he heard just now is really slight, and he can't tell if it's the sound of swallowing or the sound of the black-robed man stepping on the ice.

Unless the other party hides his mouth in his sleeve, how can he eat?

Looking at Gu Changqing and Jin Fengyu's appearance, it seemed that he didn't notice anything, and Yun Que didn't think much about it, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Gu Changqing cast an ice and snow spell to recreate an ice platform.

The cultural fight has ended, the ceremony is imminent, and the monks present have begun to talk lively, all talking about the previous wonderful competition, and the hall has resumed its liveliness.

Jian Pingzhi always frowned, and there was a look of doubt in his eyes.

Seeing his strange expression, Yun Que asked in a low voice:

"Recognize the man? By what means did he suck up the corpses?"

Jian Pingzhi shook his head slowly.

"I don't know, I just remembered something."

"Tell me something." Yun Que asked curiously.

Jian Pingzhi didn't want to talk about it, after all, how could he always tell outsiders about his own affairs.

But as soon as he remembered that Yun Que might have to guess the true name of the Dao Spirit Sword again, he became helpless, so he had to whisper.

"I left the Dao Sect to travel the world, and the first priority is to complete the cultivation of the Dao Sword and break the second seal, but there is one more thing on this trip, I am investigating a murder case."

"A murder from the Dao Sect?" The more Yun Que listened, the more curious he became.

"It's not a Dao Sect, it's the Imperial Beast Gate, a third-rate sect, mainly to control spirit beasts, and the location of the Royal Beast Gate belongs to the jurisdiction of the Dao Sect, although there is no nominal dependence, in fact, it is also one of the vassal sects of the Dao Sect."

The vassal sects mentioned by Jian Ping are actually not uncommon.

Some weak sects that do not enter the stream will cling to the big sects nearby, firstly to protect themselves, and secondly, to find a shelter.

After all, the cultivation sect must collect nearby cultivation resources, and friction is unavoidable, even if you don't deliberately provoke the nearby big sects, it is easy to be wiped out.

Therefore, the attachment of small sects to nearby large sects has become one of the unwritten rules of the immortal cultivation world.

Yun Que knew that there were several small sects near the Spirit Sword Sect, and every year they had to send a lot of spirit stones and spiritual materials to the Spirit Sword Sect, which was equivalent to a tribute.

Although Tianyi Sect is a Taoist mountain gate and is detached, the more money the monk does not love, the better.

No matter how the Taoist sect is vulgar, it is inevitable to eat and drink, and it is difficult for a disciple of a mountain sect to drink the northwest wind every day.

For the Imperial Beast Gate's attachment to the Dao Sect, Yun Que completely understood, and asked curiously:

"What happened to the Royal Beast Gate, who was killed?"

"No one was killed." Jian Pingzhi said in a low voice.

Yun Que heard it strangely and said, "No one died, what kind of murder is it?"

A trace of confusion flashed in Jian Pingzhi's eyes at this time, and he said, "It's gone, the Imperial Beast Gate has disappeared strangely from the sect master and elder to the disciple cook."

"Disappear?"

When Yun Que heard such a strange news, he was curious, "Could it be that the Imperial Beast Sect has been cultivated by the aura of your Dao Sect for too long, and everyone in the gate has all risen to the ground?"

Jian Pingzhi was caught in the weirdness and confusion of the past, his mood was a little heavy, and he was directly angry when he heard this.

"None of our Dao Sects have risen to the ground, how can the entire Beast Sect ascend." The way of the sword.

"Seeing that you don't have an idea, just help you guess, let's talk about it, the disappearance of the Royal Beast Gate, has left any clues." Cloud lacks a way.

"Yes, half a bone." The way of the sword.

"Whose remains?" Cloud lacks a way.

"I don't know, that half of the white bones are in tatters, as if they have been eaten by a swarm of rats." Kenhei recalled the scene at that time, and his brows furrowed deeply.

As a Taoist, I have seen a lot of life and death.

A corpse, it shouldn't be

How much amazement.

But the terrifying appearance of that half of the white bones is still unforgettable.

"You suspect that the Royal Beast Gate has encountered a beast tide, and the people of the Gate have been devoured by demon beasts." Cloud lacks a way.

"After the treacherous case, the master ordered me to investigate the matter, and before I arrived at the Royal Beast Gate, I did think so, but after I arrived, I dispelled the speculation of the beast tide." Jian Pingzhi's voice paused, and he said in a solemn tone, "Because the Imperial Beast Gate is up and down, there is no trace of a fight."

Yun Que listened to it and then became puzzled.

If the beast tide attacks the mountain gate, or if the spirit beasts raised by the Royal Beast Gate appear to have a large number of backlash, it can indeed make all the disciples of a small sect disappear.

But it is absolutely impossible not to have traces of a fight!

Unless the people of the Royal Beast Gate are all evil, they are motionless and willing to be devoured by demon beasts.

This kind of thing is too strange to be possible.

"If it's not a demon beast, then it can only be man-made...... Will someone take all the people from the Royal Beast Gate away?" Cloud lacks a way.

Jian Pingzhi shook his head slowly and said:

"Along the way, I have traveled and investigated, almost half of Yunzhou, and there is not the slightest clue of the people of the Royal Beast Gate."

"According to what you say, the Royal Beast Gate should have been destroyed, and the murderer used a strange method to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces."

Yun Que was kind-hearted and helped analyze: "It is possible that the murderer gathered the people of the Royal Beast Gate together and burned them to ashes, or corrupted the corpses with highly poisonous substances, didn't you look for the surrounding area?"

"I've looked for it, within a thousand miles of the Royal Beast Gate, I've walked all over it, and there is nothing suspicious, and there is no whereabouts of any bones." The way of the sword.

"So clean? Could it be that the people of the sect will be eaten?" Yun Que said casually.

Jian Pingzhi's expression became even more solemn, and he nodded slowly, "There is a possibility."

As he spoke, Jian Pingzhi glanced at the direction of the Tianya Sword Pavilion, the tall man in black.

"A monk who devours a sect has a lot of appetite." Yun Que spotted Jian Pingzhi's gaze and whispered, "What did you hear just now?"

Jian Pingzhi was slightly stunned, looked at Yun Que in surprise, and said:

"Did you hear the sound of chewing?"

"Sure enough......" After Yun Que got Daozi's affirmation, he glanced at the man in black and said, "He's eating people, no wonder he cleaned up so cleanly."

Devouring bones, such a terrifying picture is really unimaginable for ordinary people.

Yun Que heard a strange sound with the help of the enhanced ear power of the sword vein before, and coupled with Daozi's affirmation, Yun Que now almost guessed the identity of the tall man in black.

One of the Darksword Messengers, Hai Pig!

Pigs are big eaters and like to devour food the most.

Most of the titles of the Dark Sword Envoy are inextricably linked to the corresponding zodiac.

And the Hai pig is definitely the most edible one.

It's just that Yun Que didn't expect that Hai Pig was eating nothing else, but a cultivator!

"The only half of the white bones left in the Royal Beast Gate, you should have checked to see if that person was suffering from a serious illness before his death, or if there was a poison that had penetrated deep into the bone marrow." Cloud lacks a way.

"Yes, the bones contain poison, and that person was poisoned by an inextricable poison before his death." Jian Pingzhi was amazed by Yun Que's mind, and he could even guess this.

"Do you suspect that the disappearance of the Royal Beast Sect disciple was eaten by the guy who cleaned up the corpse just now?" Cloud lacks a way.

"His cultivation is very high, and he can devour corpses, so he is naturally suspicious." The way of the sword.

"This matter is simple, let your Dao Sect send a large army to attack the Tianya Sword Pavilion, and arrest that guy and torture him, so that the truth will be revealed." Yun Que said with an idea.

Jian Ping's face was helpless.

Can you be a little more spoiled with this idea?

In order to find a murderer who can't be confirmed, he started a sect war, and this is it.

"The murder case of the Royal Beast Gate, I will continue to investigate, and I will not need to take action from the sect for the time being." The way of the sword.

"By the way, how did you hear that guy chewing?" Yun Que asked.

"I don't

He can only hear the small sounds around him, and as long as the distance is not far, even the secret words of others can be intercepted." The way of the sword.

"Brother Daozi, please stay away from me in the future, at least to the extent that you can't hear the transmission." Cloud lacks a way.

As soon as he finished talking about the trick of the Royal Beast Gate, the succession ceremony of the Xiaohan Palace began.

Guarded by a team of palace nuntains in pure white robes, the new palace master finally appeared.

All the monks present were silent, their eyes widened, wanting to see the demeanor of the new palace master.

However, what people see is an ice coffin!
