Chapter 623: Breaking Bad
Among these big people who came to watch the ceremony today, Li Xiaozhao looked very inconspicuous, if it weren't for King Yan's great respect for him, maybe he would not be qualified to enter the Temple of Light and witness the glory of the coronation of the saint.
But no one expected that this trip would become the end of Li Xiaozhao's life.
In the huge Hall of Light, Li Xiaozhao's death has not attracted too many people's attention for the time being, but several sages who are relatively close to Xunchen have already discovered the abnormality.
The poor master was the first to walk to Xunchen's side, and said suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
Xun Chen raised his head in shock, gently put Li Xiaozhao in his arms on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "He's dead." ”
Hearing this, not only the merciful teacher, but also Lu Yu, who had just stepped forward, also looked slightly shocked.
What day is it? It is an important moment for the coronation of the Holy Virgin!
Where is this place? The sacrosanct Temple of Light!
Someone was killed on the spot on such an important occasion?
This is no small feat!
The most important thing is, how did Lee Hyo-zhao die?
Who can kill invisibly under the noses of all saints?
Lu Yu raised his hand and turned Li Xiaozhao's body over, and in this short period of time, Li Xiaozhao's appearance has changed drastically!
His eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs bulged outward, as if they would fall out of their sockets at any moment, and his whole face had become darker than ink, and even the green tendons on his neck had been dyed black, which made people wonder if even his blood had turned black.
In contrast, one of Li Xiaozhao's one-arms revealed an abnormal white, like paper beating snow. There was not a trace of blood, and it didn't look like a person who had just lost his breath. And like a dried corpse that has been dead for a long time!
Although the corpse did not appear to be decomposed, a trace of the stench of corpse had begun to spread. Lu Yu's brows furrowed.
"Poisoned?" the poor master did not understand medical skills, but such obvious characteristics could still be distinguished.
Lu Yu nodded silently, and then very decisively emitted a wisp of purple gold talent from his body, which landed on Li Xiaozhao's corpse, and immediately turned it into a wisp of green smoke.
There are no bones left.
The matter was so weird that Lu Yu had to be cautious to prevent the toxins in Li Xiaozhao's body from being transmissible.
After doing this, Lu Yu turned around and said to Su Zhe, who was belated: "First protect the holy woman from this place." I think something happened tonight!"
This time, Su Zhe did not quarrel with Lu Yu, but nodded solemnly, and then turned to leave.
But it was a little late.
Lu Yu didn't even have time to ask Xun Chen, what was going on, and there was already a commotion on the other side of the Great Hall of Light.
Lu Yu's face changed slightly, his figure flashed rapidly, and when he arrived at the place of the incident, he only saw a wisp of green smoke.
Ouyang Xiu took the same countermeasures as him.
"What's going on?"
Ouyang Xiu shook his head. didn't seem to have a clue, just explained simply: "A little monk from the Bright Temple is dead, it seems that he should have been poisoned, so don't worry about this for the time being." Escort the saint out first!"
Lu Yu said in a deep voice: "I have already let Su Zhe go, just now, that Li Xiaozhao of Yan Kingdom also died." The same was poisoned!"
Ouyang Xiu raised his head suddenly, and a ray of light appeared in his eyes. glanced at Lu Yu and immediately understood each other's worries.
Because speaking of poison. The person who is most easily associated with is the old housekeeper of the demon clan.
Ivy Booth!
As these bigwigs who personally participated in the holy war a hundred years ago, the poison of Ivybo must be the most indelible memory, and the most terrifying memory!
Thinking of this, Ouyang Xiu immediately found the empty master, and said with a calm face: "Immediately block the entire Bright Saint Temple, disperse the crowd outside, even if we dig three feet into the ground, we must find out this old poison!"
In less than half a pillar of incense, everyone in the venue knew the severity of the situation, because after Li Xiaozhao and the little monk of the Bright Temple, two more people died one after another!
One is the chief staff of Emperor Tang Shide, and the other is Ouyang Duoduo!
If the death of the former was not enough to cause widespread panic, then the death of the latter by poison shocked all the saints in the hall.
Because before Ouyang Duoduo, the dead humanities rank was not high, Li Xiaozhao was just an imperial book, the little monk of the temple was Hanlin, and as for Tang Shide's chief staff, he was a bachelor.
But Ouyang Duoduo is a dignified half-saint!
She did not die in the burial of Hualing, nor did she die in the Heavenly Abandonment Mountain, but died in the Temple of Light, and died at the coronation of the Holy Maiden!
What's even more frightening is that judging from the order of the poison of these four people, it seems that they are progressing according to the level of the rank, so will it threaten the life safety of the Holy Order?
Putting aside the experience of the Holy War a hundred years ago, all the Sages present had turned into frightened birds when they faced the amazing poison of Iwipo.
Because less than a month ago, in the Holy Domain, Xu Huanzhi used the poison of Yi Weibo, so he plotted against a group of saints from behind and gave them a fatal blow!
On that day, the three great sages died on the spot, and the sages who survived were not even able to kill Xu Huanzhi, so they could only flee from the holy realm in a hurry, so that the demon army could calmly return to the world.
But even so, the poison left in the Holy Body has not been completely eradicated, and they can only rely on their own talents to temporarily suppress it, and today, they all came to the Temple of Light, but they never thought that they had been plotted by Yi Weibo for the second time!
In the face of such a crisis, in addition to Ouyang Xiu, another sage took the lead in standing up.
"Don't panic yet, since Yi Weibo's old poison, and even other demon people haven't shown up yet, it means that this qiē may just be their trick, and the top priority now is to find out how this poison was brought in, if Yi Weibo can kill us old guys with poison alone, he did it as early as when he was in the Holy Domain!"
Although the emperor's eyes were blind, his heart was not blind, so he quickly understood Yi Weibo's tricks, but he unknowingly made a mistake.
He underestimated the strength of Ivy and underestimated the ambition of Ivispor.
The saints who came to the Bright Holy Temple today were not mortals, and when they encountered such an accident, of course they would not be as panicked as ordinary people, especially after learning that Su Zhe had already escorted the holy woman away, everyone calmed down.
And the division of labor was quickly done.
Lu Yu and Ouyang Xiu came to Xun Chen's side again and asked him about the details of Li Xiaozhao's death, while the Torture Master, the Mercy Master, the Yan Master, and the Empty Master were responsible for investigating the drinks and food in the venue, while Yan Zhenqing, Wang Hao, Huang Longshi and others began to search for suspicious people in all corners of the Guangming Palace......
The only ones in the field who did not move, sitting in place as stable as Mount Tai, were the only ones left by the Demon Clan's Flowing Fire, Yuge, Ah Er, and the Terran Clan's Saint Sima Qian.
As for Yu Mo and Tang Ji and the others, although their literary status was not high, they didn't know why, there were no signs of poison, and they didn't dare to move around at will, but stayed in place with vigilant expressions, waiting for the results of the investigation of the saints.
And it was at this time that Nie Yi suddenly seemed to think of something, and said: "You can't just search in the Great Hall of Light, come and follow the old man to other side halls to have a look!"
After saying this, Nie walked out of the gate of the Great Hall of Light with one step, and the clear moonlight sprinkled on his body, as if he was wearing a silver armor.
But before he could take the second step, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground.
The sparkling pear blossom spear fell on the golden stone steps in response, and the awe-inspiring aura emitted by the tip of the spear was the smell of death.
