Chapter 228: Chaos
Walking into the rainy night, the clear wind wrapped in the rain drifted in, the bitter atmosphere of the summer retreated, and Ling Xiao swayed slowly, enjoying this comfort.
The monks who passed by, all in a hurry, alternated expressions of tiredness, gloom, and worry on their faces.
Ling Xiao's leisurely atmosphere is incompatible with the tense atmosphere on the entire street.
However, no one noticed Ling Xiao.
Compared with the recent major events that have occurred one after another, Ling Xiao, a person who is "suspected of being an evil cultivator", has long been less important.
Not only this street, but the whole city, is in a state of tension.
The news of Xiao Yue's death shook the entire Northern Liang Kingdom, and even the border countries.
The subsequent disclosure of the assassination process shocked countless people to the point that they felt chills all over their bodies.
At the wedding banquet of King Xiao Jun, in front of all the guests and hosts, and even under the noses of several foundation building monks, the murderer cut off Xiao Yue's head with a knife and fled calmly!
Even after that, the Xiao family and the monks who were present at the scene rode out in all directions, but they didn't even touch the corner of the murderer's clothes!
After the matter was reported back to the imperial capital, the government and the opposition were furious!
The imperial court directly offered a sky-high reward of 500,000 spirit stones, hoping that people in the know would provide relevant information about the murderer.
Gongsun Lie, the head of the Songshan Sword Sect, also offered a reward of 100,000 spirit stones, according to what he said, the murderer who killed Xiao Yue used the same magic weapon as the murderer who assassinated Lao Yu before.
This incident undoubtedly caused an uproar again.
Only then did people know that the murderer was not the first time he had committed a crime!
Lao Yu, Xiao Yue!
One is a contemporary Fu Grandmaster-level figure, and the other is the pearl of the emperor of the current dynasty, who is a big man who calls for wind and rain on weekdays, but in just one month, he was assassinated one after another.
The murderer used ruthless and cruel blade techniques to trample on the dignity of the Xiao family and the Songshan Sword Sect under his feet!
For a time, the monks of the Northern Liang Kingdom talked about the color change of the thorns.
The murderer's assassination target has not yet found a pattern, and those in high positions are suddenly panicking, for fear that it will be their turn next.
And the speculation about the identity of the murderer is intensifying.
The first object of suspicion must be the Cardinal, an organization famous for its "assassinations".
The Cardinal Sect immediately announced to the world, claiming that the murderers of Lao Yu and Xiao Yue had nothing to do with the Cardinal Sect, and that the white elephant was also at the scene at the time of the incident, and had spared no effort to hunt down the murderer, and the Cardinal Sect would never tolerate any form of slander......
Of course, this proclamation could not calm people's suspicions about the Cardinals.
However, there was no evidence of the Cardinals' involvement in the matter.
And the follow-up investigation seems to have proved the innocence of the Cardinals.
That is, at the wedding banquet scene, the monk who attacked Li Xuantian was not from the Northern Liang country, but from the neighbor "Izumo country".
According to their confessions, they were only commissioned by a mysterious employer.
The other party entrusted a heavy amount of thousands of spirit stones, and found someone to go up to Chenjia Mountain together to seek justice for the hard-working people.
As long as they make a big deal and force the Xiao family to judge the case on the spot, the employer will show up at that time, come up with ironclad evidence, completely confirm Li Xuantian's crime, and seek justice for the people!
From now on, this commission can be described as suspicious at every turn.
However, at that time, the monks were immersed in the reward of thousands of spirit stones, and they didn't think about it carefully at all.
This job is easy and comfortable, and the pay is high, so how can it not be accepted?
After all, they are just small minions who are going to gather the number of people and make a long noise, and they are not killing people and setting fires, even if they anger the Xiao family, based on the premise of justice for the people, everyone is leisurely, and the Xiao family does not dare to make it too difficult.
So, there was the scene of the wedding banquet.
The poor monks were full of expectations for their employer to appear with the so-called "ironclad evidence", but what they were waiting for was a well-planned and shocking assassination!
They were scared to pee on the spot, and then they realized that something was wrong, and they wanted to run but couldn't run away.
As for the old couple, they are really the people of Renxiang Village in Izumo Province, and their son and daughter-in-law did die at the hands of gangsters a few years ago.
As a result, the Northern Liang Kingdom cultivated the immortal realm, and immediately aimed the spearhead at Izumo Province and demanded that Izumo Kingdom hand over the murderer of the princess.
Izumo is not a vegetarian either, so he immediately denied that he had anything to do with this case, and countersued Li Xuantian for killing his own people, and ordered the Xiao family to hand over Li Xuantian, otherwise he would never give up!
Both sides believe that they are the victims, and for a while, you come and go, arguing with each other, and no one is willing to retreat.
The tense atmosphere wafted over the two countries, and even heard that on the border, clashes broke out sporadically between the monks of the two countries.
As for the other countries on the border, they did not stay out of the matter, but stood in line one after another, waving their flags and shouting, looking like they were not too big to see the excitement.
In short, with Xiao Yue's death, a storm that has swept many countries has been formed.
The Xiao family will never give up, but when they can't find the murderer and evidence for a long time, no one knows what kind of counterattack they will make, and who will be the target of the counterattack.
……
Ling Xiao walked all the way back to the gate of the manor, listening to the sporadic conversations of the monks, constructing the chaos of the current situation in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This red-clothed sect is really a bunch of rat, stirring up the situation.
Killing Lao Yu can be characterized as a continuation of the grudge between the black market and the Songshan Sword Sect.
Kill Xiao Yue?
I really don't understand why.
However, he didn't bother to figure it out.
Why not get rid of an enemy?
Just because Xiao Yue sent someone to assassinate him, and the relationship with Ma Ying is unclear, even if the Cardinal Sect doesn't send this task, Ling Xiao will have to find an opportunity to kill her sooner or later!
With a secret snort, Ling Xiao was about to push the door in, when his expression suddenly moved, and he took out the sound transmission stone.
After listening to the content of the transmission, he was silent for a moment, and then walked towards Tingyuxuan.
The third thing came so quickly.
Moreover, Kui Xie Yuan actually had to interview him.
It was unexpected.
Came to Tingyuxuan.
Ling Xiao's divine sense swept through the tea room, and his face couldn't help but sink.
Listen to Yuxuan, there are two more people today.
"Little friend, don't worry, come in."
In his ears, there was a calm voice from Kui Jieyuan.
Ling Xiao snorted coldly, stepped in generously, walked to Kui Jieyuan's side, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Kui Lao, business is good!" He said.
This is really a yin and yang weirdness.
Listening to Yuxuan, it hasn't been open for I don't know how long.
After all, it's raining every day, and everyone is annoyed when they see the rain, so why are you interested in running here?
According to Ling Xiao's thoughts, just make a fake sun and change the name to "Appreciation Sun Xuan", maybe it can be saved!
Kui Xie Yuan was not angry, and said with a smile: "Ling Xiao, do you still need an introduction from the old man?" ”
"Then you don't have to."
Ling Xiao chuckled lightly and saluted to a person next to him: "I've seen Senior Bai!" ”
This man is the white elephant.
As for the other person, who else is peerless and captivating, except for Liu Junhuan, the contemporary top brand of the Fuxiang Pavilion, who else can come?
"Thank you book friends for the monthly ticket of "Tai Chi Period", thank you !!!"
