Chapter 821: Assassination of the Emperor Realm
"While recovering your strength, you are preparing for war!" Shang Yuntian said in a deep voice, "The army of the Luohan Kingdom may attack at any time. ”
But what is surprising is that the whole afternoon passed, and there was no attack by the army of the Luohan Kingdom.
The night is getting darker.
The small building where Elder Xu lives.
Suddenly, the void fluctuated, and a black shadow broke through the sky.
"Lord, Sakura Envoy has an order!"
Elder Xu said in a deep voice, "Submit it!"
As soon as the black shadow's right hand was raised, a very dim white light flew up and landed on Elder Xu's hand.
But it's a secret letter.
Very cryptic code words are written.
"Decapitation, start immediately!"
As soon as Elder Xu clasped his hands together, a small ball of flame emerged from his palm, and in an instant, the secret document was burned to ashes.
"Stand down, I see. ”
The black shadow flickered and vanished.
As if it had never existed.
"Let the storm come more violently!" Elder Xu muttered as he looked up at the dark night.
Taihang Palace.
The palace of the suzerain of the Shangqing Sect.
Shang Yuntian closed his eyes slightly, his breath seemed to be absent, his breath seemed to be existing and disappearing, and the whole person seemed to be one with heaven and earth.
Suddenly.
A very faint qi wave flew towards the Taihang Palace.
"Huh?!"
Shang Yuntian was a little surprised, and he didn't see how he acted, but his figure had already flown up, like a flash of lightning to the outside of the palace.
The night outside the palace was vast, and with his imperial eyesight, he didn't find anything abnormal.
The fluctuation of the qi machine had disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared.
"Strange!"
Shang Yuntian whispered, a hint of bad omen welling up in his heart.
Immediately, he released his divine thoughts, overwhelming the sky, and scanned the area around the Taihang Palace for hundreds of zhang, but found nothing.
Shang Yuntian, who was wondering in his heart, slowly returned to the palace and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
It didn't take long for a figure to quickly approach the Taihang Palace.
"Sect Master!"
Mo Ren's voice sounded in the night.
"Come in. Shang Yuntian said softly.
"Sect Master, something is wrong!" Mo Ren shouted in a panic as soon as he came in.
Shang Yuntian slowly opened his eyes, "What's the alarm?"
"Elder Xu, he, he was assassinated!" Mo Ren said in a panic.
"Is there such a thing?" Shang Yuntian was taken aback, "Who has the ability and timing?"
"My subordinates don't know, but they rushed here as soon as they knew the situation!" Mo Ren said loudly.
"In other words, you haven't gone to Elder Xu yet?" Shang Yuntian asked suspiciously.
"Exactly!" Mo Ren affirmed.
"Let's go, let's take a look!" Shang Yuntian said as he walked out.
"Do you want to inform the other peak masters?" Mo Ren asked.
"Let's go over and talk about it first. Shang Yuntian said in a deep voice.
After a short time, he came to Elder Xu's residence.
Outside the hall, a group of disciples serving the elders were waiting in fear.
Shang Yuntian just glanced at them indifferently, and without saying anything to blame, he walked straight into the hall.
Quietly inside, on the incense stick, three incense sticks were burning, and a fragrance came to the nose.
Elder Xu sat cross-legged on the futon, but his eyes were closed, his breath was completely gone, and his vitality was cut off.
Obviously, he was cultivating during his lifetime.
I saw that his face was pale, there were dazzling blood stains at the corners of his mouth, and there was a large blood stain on the placket of his chest.
There is no trace of a fight!
"Who first discovered this?" Shang Yuntian asked with a frown.
"Disciple Yang Shangxiu. Mo Ren replied.
"Call him in. Shang Yuntian gestured.
Mo Ren turned around and walked out, quickly bringing in a disciple.
Five short figures, strong and burly, with bright eyes.
"Your name is Yang Shangxiu?" Shang Yuntian asked.
Yang Shangxiu seemed to be a little nervous, and said in a snort: "The disciple is exactly!"
"It feels a little strange!" Shang Yuntian wondered.
"He was a new disciple of Elder Xu not long ago, and because he was good at boiling medicinal food, he was left by Elder Xu's side. Mo Ren explained.
"Heh, there is such a thing, Elder Xu once mentioned it to me. Shang Yuntian nodded.
Yang Shangxiu's body faintly revealed a trace of unease.
"Did you inform Lord Mo Feng?" Shang Yuntian asked, staring at him.
"When such a big event happened, I was also panicked for a while, I didn't know what to do, thinking that Lord Mo Feng and Elder Xu had a bad relationship, so I went to report to him first. Yang Shangxiu hurriedly explained.
"You tell me how you found out about Elder Xu's death, there must be no half-word lies, otherwise the sect rules will deal with it!" Shang Yuntian said solemnly.
Yang Shangxiu nodded: "Because Elder Xu was injured during the day, he was involved in the operation of the Ancient Seven Star Array, so he ordered his disciples to boil a pot of medicinal food and send it in the middle of the night." ”
"Pick the important ones!" Mo Ren said sharply.
"Yes," Yang Shangxiu was shocked, and said with some fear: "After the medicinal diet is ready, I came to ask Elder Xu just now if I want to send the medicinal diet over, and the result will be ......."
"What's the matter, hurry up!" Mo Ren urged.
"I saw Elder Xu sitting on the futon, not moving, I screamed a few times, and I shouldn't, I dared to take a closer look, only to find that Elder Xu was dead!" Yang Shangxiu said tremblingly.
"And then?" Shang Yuntian asked.
"Then, I'll go to Lord Mo Feng, and you will know the rest of the matter. Yang Shangxiu said.
"Did you find anything unusual during the night?" Shang Yuntian asked.
"No anomalies found!" Yang Shangxiu affirmed.
"This is strange, what kind of person can murder Elder Xu without knowing it?!" Shang Yuntian muttered to himself.
He thought directly of that strange qi machine.
Mo Ren and Yang Shangxiu couldn't answer, so they were silent.
For a moment, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
"Bah, bah!"
Yang Shangxiu's heartbeat was particularly loud, like a drum.
After a while.
"You go and take off Elder Xu's coat, I want to see his fatal wounds. Shang Yuntian said softly.
Yang Shangxiu responded, stepped forward and carefully took off Elder Xu's coat.
There were no injuries anywhere else, except on the chest, where there was a very piercing palm print.
The palm prints are very clear, as if they are depicted, and even the fingerprints are clear.
The entire palm print showed a strange blood red, like a beating flame.
It's weird.
"That murderer was able to approach Elder Xu's side and slapped him directly in the chest, and killed him with one blow, which shows that the murderer's strength is extremely strong!" Mo Ren whispered.
"Being approached by the murderer, with Elder Xu's strength, he can't even detect it, this seems a little too terrifying!" Shang Yuntian muttered to himself.
"Yes, who is the murderer?" Mo Ren looked sad.
The two of them searched the palace and found nothing out of the ordinary.
Invisibly, bursts of rich fragrance permeated.
"The smell of this incense is a little too strong!" Shang Yuntian said softly.
"Yang Shangxiu, go and extinguish the incense. Mo Ren shouted.
"No, since Elder Xu likes this fragrance, let it continue to burn. Shang Yuntian waved his hand slightly.
"Hey, Elder Xu seems to have something in his hand!" Yang Shangxiu suddenly exclaimed.
Shang Yuntian looked over and saw Elder Xu's right hand clenched, and a glimmer of light was revealed in his palm.
"Take it out and see what it is, maybe you can find the clues of the murderer!" Shang Yuntian said with a moving expression.
Elder Xu's right hand was clenched very tightly, and Yang Shangxiu wasted a lot of strength to break his palm.
A silver-white jade pendant appeared in front of Shang Yuntian's eyes.
"Come, show me!" Shang Yuntian said.
Yang Shangxiu held the jade pendant in both hands and handed it over.
As soon as Shang Yuntian stretched out his hand, the jade pendant flew up from Yang Shangxiu's palm, crossed an arc, and landed in Shang Yuntian's palm.
The jade pendant is silvery-white all over, and the tentacles are cold, penetrating the heart and spleen.
It looks ordinary, and there is nothing special about it.
"Hey, there seems to be a word!" Shang Yuntian frowned.
The jade Perry seems to have a light flowing, and the three small characters are looming, as if there is nothing.
Shang Yuntian grabbed the jade pendant with the two fingers of his right hand, held it in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully.
The handwriting is small and blurry, making it extremely difficult to read.
Subconsciously, Shang Yuntian separated a trace of Yuan Force and concentrated on the jade pendant.
Those three small words were finally seen clearly.
Go to hell!
Shang Yuntian's heart was suddenly shocked!
At this moment, a dazzling silver-white brilliance rushed out of the jade pendant, and the person who stabbed couldn't open his eyes.
Shang Yuntian's eyes shrank instinctively.
The next moment.
He only felt a pain in his soul, and a phantom suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
"Not good!" he exclaimed.
At this moment, Yang Shangxiu, who had been cowering in front of him, suddenly skyrocketed.
"Emperor Realm Cultivation?!" Shang Yuntian was surprised, this disciple's strength was too outrageous.
I saw Yang Shangxiu hold both hands, and a snow-bright long knife flashed out, and with a snort, thunder thundered, and slashed towards Shang Yuntian's waist like lightning.
The snow bright sword light is cold and piercing, and the murderous aura is all over the sky.
With this move, Yang Shangxiu actually wanted to cut Shang Yuntian in half!
This change is very abrupt and unexpected!
The sword light is fierce to the extreme, and it is almost to the extreme.
In an instant, he was already approaching in front of Shang Yuntian.
Although Shang Yuntian's strength has not fully recovered, it is unlikely that an Emperor Realm powerhouse wants to take his life.
Shang Yuntian sneered, and his left palm slapped out like lightning, blocking the sword light.
He shot out angrily this time, the power of the move was extraordinary, and he only heard a click, and the snow-bright long knife, the moment he hit it, immediately shattered into countless pieces.
Shang Yuntian's palm kept moving, and he slapped Yang Shangxiu's head like thunder.
Yang Shangxiu saw the long knife shattered, but he was not afraid, a hideous touch flashed on his face, his hands shook, and two long swords flashed in his hands.
The black long sword in his left hand and the long sword in his right hand were fiery red, flashing with an extremely strange light.
In the face of that powerful palm, Yang Shangxiu did not dodge or dodge, and ignored it, the black and red swords stabbed out, and the sword of Sen Ran was like two poisonous snakes, which were extremely fierce and rushed straight to Shang Yuntian.
At this moment, the jade pendant in Shang Yuntian's right hand, without any warning, exploded very abruptly and suddenly, and countless silver rays as thin as a cow's hair struck towards Shang Yuntian like a critical attack.
