Ch 180: Who Is The Thousand-faced Demon?
“What!”
Jiang Yixuan and the other Elders’ expressions changed drastically. The Treasury was a very important place for the Grand Profound Sacred Land. The Disciple guarding the Treasury was killed without anyone knowing?
“Take us to see!”
Jiang Yixuan and the others hurried towards the Treasury.
Li Hanzhou was also curious. Someone actually dared to kill someone in the Grand Profound Sacred Land. Who did it?
So he also followed to take a look and join in the fun.
Discovering that a Grand Profound Sacred Land Disciple had died tragically within the Grand Profound Sacred Land was no small Matter. It alarmed almost all of the High-Level Personnel of the Grand Profound Sacred Land. Many Experts emerged from Secluded Cultivation, which also allowed Li Hanzhou to see the Foundation of the Grand Profound Sacred Land.
This didn’t even include those Strong Persons in Secluded Cultivation and not in the Grand Profound Sacred Land. There were already five Heavenly Gang Realm Strong Persons who had appeared.
Moreover, Jiang Yixuan was the kind of Strong Person who had half a foot into the Esteemed Immortal Realm. His mastery of external training was not weak at all, and he was a top Expert even in the Heavenly Gang Realm.
The Grand Profound Sacred Land was very large, with Mountain Peaks stretching endlessly. The Grand Profound Sacred Land’s Treasury was located beneath the innermost Mountain Peak, in a huge Cave Dwelling.
When Li Hanzhou and the others arrived, Li Hanzhou saw a Deep Pool at the entrance of the Treasury. At this moment, four corpses floated in the Pond. These four Disciples all had Transcendent Realm Cultivation Level. It could be said that they were all minor Experts in the Jianghu.
Yet they were killed so silently.
“Senior Brother Zhou Xiong!”
“Senior Brother Sun Ye.”
Lu Tianxing, who had come along, also had red eyes when he saw this scene.
They usually had a good relationship with each other. Now that he saw that his two Senior Brothers had actually died here, Lu Tianxing revealed his killing intent at this moment. He wanted to know who did it!
A Grand Profound Sacred Land Elder waved his palm, True Qi condensed, and directly fished the corpses out of the Pond.
“Holy Lord, I have just investigated, someone has indeed entered the Treasury.” An Elder walked over and said with a frown, “The Treasury’s lock was forcibly opened.”
“What Things were lost?” Jiang Yixuan asked.
“Uh.”
The Elder said with a Surprised expression, “No valuable Treasure was lost, but a few Ten Thousand Year Records were lost.”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Everyone present were very interesting.
To kill people in the Grand Profound Sacred Land at all costs to enter the Treasury, but the Treasure in the Grand Profound Sacred Land’s Treasury was piled up like a mountain, but that person didn’t want it and stole the Ten Thousand Year Records instead?
Even Li Hanzhou felt that the Matter was not simple.
The Ten Thousand Year Records recorded the Major Event that had happened every year in the Grand Profound Sacred Land from its birth until now, detailing the Grand Profound Sacred Land’s history of development. What was the use of someone stealing this Thing?
“But how did this murderer sneak in?” Everyone was puzzled.
“To be able to deal with my four Transcendent Realm Disciples in one go, even ordinary Profound Connection Realm are unlikely. Could it be that a Heavenly Gang Realm Strong Person secretly came in?” Someone guessed.
The Grand Profound Sacred Land’s Guards were very strict, especially around the Treasury. It was not a place where just anyone could enter.
“The murderer is an acquaintance of theirs.”
At this moment, Li Hanzhou’s voice came.
At this time, Everyone looked at Li Hanzhou. They discovered that Li Hanzhou was squatting on the ground looking at the corpse.
“Fellow Daoist, are you saying that this was done by someone within our Grand Profound Sacred Land?” Jiang Yixuan said, narrowing his eyes.
“Impossible!”
Several Elders also stood up and argued, “Our Grand Profound Sacred Land’s Disciples are strictly vetted when they enter. There are no problems with their Background, and it is impossible for them to do such a Thing.”
“There are no signs of fighting at the scene.” Li Hanzhou stood up and said, “Moreover, I have just seen that they all have slight signs of Poisonous Drug. It should be Muscle-Relaxing Powder or similar Poisonous Drug from the Jianghu. While they had no strength, their necks were broken. To be able to poison four people without them knowing, it means that these four people are very familiar with this person and have no vigilance. Therefore, it must be an acquaintance of these four.”
Listening to Li Hanzhou’s analysis, although Everyone present was unwilling to admit it, they had to say that Li Hanzhou was right.
There was a very high possibility that an acquaintance killed them.
“Perhaps, this person is very likely among you.” Li Hanzhou’s Gaze swept across Everyone present.
There were more than forty people on the scene.
Being swept over by Li Hanzhou’s Gaze, their hearts shook, and someone immediately frowned and said, “Brother Li, those present are all High-Level Personnel and elite Disciples of our Grand Profound Sacred Land. You say that someone among us has done such a Thing. That’s impossible, right?”
“That’s right, Brother Li, aren’t you trying to provoke the relationship between our Grand Profound Sacred Land?” Someone asked vigilantly.
“Fellow Daoist, what are you talking about?”
Jiang Yixuan couldn’t help but ask.
“I previously obtained some news from other places. Combining it with the Matter of them stealing the Ten Thousand Year Records today, I have a guess.” Li Hanzhou said lightly, “Thousand-Faced Demon.”
The three words Thousand-Faced Demon exploded in everyone’s ears like Thunder!
Their expressions changed drastically.
“Do you mean that someone among us has been replaced by the Thousand-Faced Demon?” The Great Elder said in shock.
“There is a high possibility.”
Li Hanzhou nodded, “You should all know about the Matters that happened before. The Demon Race has begun to gradually penetrate into our Dongyan Province. The Thousand-Faced Demon was not eradicated back then. Now, it is very likely that there is a Thousand-Faced Demon among us, and the real someone among you may have been killed without anyone knowing.”
These words made people feel a chill down their spines.
Thinking that there was a high possibility that one of them was transformed by the Thousand-Faced Demon.
For a time, Everyone looked at each other with a hint of suspicion and vigilance in their 【 Gaze.
Who could it be!
“Zhou Qing, I remember that some time ago, you took your Disciples out to purchase supplies. The time you came back seemed to be three Hour later than before, and the Disciples also said that you left midway. Could it be that you are the Thousand-Faced Demon?” At this moment, an Elder stared at Elder Zhou Qing beside him and asked.
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing was shocked and quickly said, “I just went to Qingfeng Tavern to drink some wine and eat some skewers, that’s why I came back a little later!”
“Elder Bai Hua, after you came back from outside some time ago, you still had injuries on your body. I asked you, but you refused to say what was going on. Could it be that you are the Thousand-Faced Demon?” At this moment, Zhou Qing quickly looked at another Elder.
Elder Bai Hua was stunned.
“I just thought that Fierce Beast was dead when I was hunting a Fierce Beast. Who knew it was actually pretending to be dead and Sneak Attack me. I felt that it was embarrassing to say such a Thing, so I didn’t say it,” Bai Hua explained quickly.
He couldn’t care about being embarrassed at this time.
He couldn’t be thought of as the Thousand-Faced Demon.
“Alright.”
At this time, Li Hanzhou waved his hand, “This Matter is simple, we just need to summon the souls of the dead to ask.”
