The general rudder of the Cangyun Sect, hundreds of miles away in the east, in a nameless barren mountain.

It was originally a lush pine forest, but the sudden arrival of heavy snow turned a thousand miles into a frozen land, and in just a few months, everything withered, like winter, all life was hidden, and only the tenacious dead branches were as strong as ever.

Flash!

In the cold wind, a group of blue-eyed blue wolves formed in groups, carrying white snow and dust, like smoke and galloping.

The wolf carried more than a dozen soldiers in light armor on his back, and soon after, he burrowed into the dry forest and came to a clearing.

There seems to have been a battle here, and it is evident that several trees have been toppled and collapsed by external forces, creating an unnatural shallow pit.

At the edge of the clearing, a bloody figure lay on the ground, and beside him, stood two soldier deacons, also wearing light armor and holding crossbows.

There were faint wolves patrolling around, and over the trees, the eagles were circling, and a pair of sharp eyes were staring at the surrounding grass and trees.

The captain of the soldiers who arrived jumped off his mount and walked in front of the two.

Seeing this, the two soldiers hurriedly greeted them: "Captain, you are finally here." ”

The captain nodded, and turned his gaze to the corpse on the ground: "We came immediately after receiving the report, and the news just now is not very clear, so you will introduce the situation again." ”

One of the two soldiers nodded, "Yes." We were on patrol when we saw an anomaly in the snow and found the corpse......"

When the two soldiers reported, the others were not idle, and each released demon hunting dogs, swift eagles and other spiritual objects, and scattered around to guard and search.

After a while, the search came back, and the captain just listened to the details and asked, "What did you find?"

A subordinate said: "No, the heavy snow has covered up many traces, and what happened here is not like daytime, but it happened before last night, and it may even be longer." ”

The captain groaned, "Longer?"

"Yes, we don't have much experience in the field, and we are not familiar with the preservation of snow corpses, but based on the patrol routes of other teams and the traces of nearby battles, we can judge that the time of the crime could never have been daytime, otherwise it would have been observed by Swift Eagle a long time ago......"

The captain asked, "What about the identity of the deceased?"

"The bags have been stripped away, and the face has been completely corroded, so it is impossible to determine for the time being, but according to the clothes and body details, it can be seen that it should be a casual cultivation on the reckless rivers and lakes, but ordinary casual cultivation will not come here at this time, and it is unlikely that there will be guests who come to participate in the celebration......"

When the captain heard this, his eyes froze: "What, guest?"

"Yes, I'm more than eighty percent sure!"

Another humanitarian: "The reason why the murderer chose this place to commit his crime is also because it is inaccessible and not easy to be discovered by the patrol guards." ”

"There are not many clues left at the scene, but the following points should be judged. ”

"First, this person is suspected to be a master of the power of darkness, which can be seen from the wounds on the corpse, the strength should be above the middle to late stage of the ground level, and the deceased was killed almost without resistance. ”

Second, the murderer seems to have some knowledge of the terrain around the main rudder, but it is also possible that he was lurking here in advance, because the deceased took a shortcut and happened to run into the barren forest. ”

"Third, the reason for the action is to snatch the invitation, and the deceased is in his hand, and it is very likely that it is a Ding invitation, which is commonly known as a loose repair post in our internal system, although this kind of invitation is named, it is more difficult to check one by one, and it is the easiest for people to take advantage of it. ”

The captain pondered for a long time: "I understand. This matter should not be publicized, and it should be reported first. ”

Soldier Division, in the helm.

Fang Lian and the others soon found out about this matter, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Someone with bad intentions, plotting to sabotage, or sneaking into the celebration, doing something that is usually difficult to find an opportunity to do, is a situation that they have long expected, but when they actually come, it is still inevitable to make people nervous.

The Soldier Division then began to secretly check the guests who had arrived around the past few days.

The main difficulty in this matter lies in the fact that it should not be carried out in a big way.

Moreover, the main forces of the Bingren Division and the internal guards of the sect are concentrated in the various cities and the general rudder, and the task is to maintain order in the field, rather than arresting the mortal government quickly, to investigate and solve the case.

However, this incident has also really sounded the alarm bell for them, and everyone has seen that the expected danger is not unfounded, but real.

In places that ordinary people are hard to perceive, the defense force of the surrounding area has been strengthened a lot, and even the wilderness, which was not thought to be necessary to waste manpower and material resources, has begun to hover from time to time, and continue to patrol.

At this moment, another accident happened.

On the west side, there were unidentified people who were not invited to the team, and the guards saw through it, and in the midst of the dispute, there was a conflict, causing a lot of confusion.

In the Nam Gui Fang, two guests fought over a place in the meal, injuring innocent people.

In the peace workshop, some guests lost their accompanying spiritual objects and were looking around, in order to prevent them from accidentally entering the forbidden place, or taking this opportunity to investigate the general rudder, his subordinates asked to send additional masters to search for them together!

A myriad of things, a mess of trivialities, one after another.

All kinds of troubles really bothered Fang Lian a lot.

However, at this time, Fang Lian also showed her excellence as one of the Eight Masters.

Not only is she an excellent cultivator, but she is also quite skilled in handling these trivial matters, and she quickly solved most of the matters within the scope of the Soldiers' Division's responsibilities, and even had the spare strength to help the Imperial Court and the Qintian Academy deal with them.

Now there is no shortage of masters in the Soldier Division, but there is a lack of this kind of talent, which also makes her quickly win the recognition of everyone up and down, and even Wang Zhu and Shang Jingyun are impressed by her.

They originally thought that this woman was just relying on Fang Qianyuan to ascend to the throne, but they didn't expect that Fang Xian was talented at the critical moment.

However, while these things are resolved, the original murder case has never been revealed.

This also makes many people's hearts seem to be covered by a dark cloud, but they are helpless for the time being.

Seeing that the day of celebration was approaching, more and more guests arrived in the Cangyun Sect, and it became more and more difficult to track down, they had to give up for the time being, and instead put their suspicions on a limited number of people, preparing to strictly guard against them.

The time soon came to the ninth day of October.

On this day, with heavy snow falling and a cold wind howling, another large sect envoy directly arrived at the general rudder of the Cangyun Sect through the Shifting Array.

The welcome envoy of Qintian Academy, who had already received the news, stepped forward with a smile on his face.

This time, it was the head of the world's great sects, the envoy of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and when they saw an old man in Chinese clothes at the head, the two protocol elders were immediately stunned.

After a while, the two concierge elders were a little surprised, and said, "Great Elder Tianheng, you are here in person. ”
