Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Everyone cast their gaze.

Jiang Wang frowned and asked, "Did you kill him?"

This is not a good sign.

Someone has already died before the opportunity has even appeared.

This means that the competition that follows will be extremely bloody and fierce!

The special nature of the Tianfu Secret Realm makes it an isolated island of human nature, where ethics, morals, and laws... all the rules of humanity cannot bind.

In the mortal world, in any law-abiding country, murderers will be punished. Transcendent cultivators can kill countless people with a snap of their fingers, but hardly any Transcendent cultivator who wants to live under the sun would do so.

Because even Transcendent cultivators must bear the consequences of killing.

That's why those cults and evil sects have become rats crossing the street, hated by everyone and never seeing the light of day.

Because here, no one will know what you do, and you don't have to take responsibility.

So anything can happen.

Those who commit evil deeds often hide their faces, and those who conspire often conceal their names.

A great scholar at the Mugushu Academy once said that human nature cannot be tested in the darkness because human nature is darkness itself.

The cultivator wearing the luxurious hat had an ugly expression. "It wasn't me!"

This person had a flat nose and a dark complexion, and he was already ugly to begin with. When his expression turned ugly, it was beyond description. It became somewhat terrifying.

So that's how it is.

Probably everyone heard the sound and rushed to the main hall, some faster than others.

Among the four people who arrived later, none of them probably saw how Tian Yong died. So they just surrounded the cultivator with the luxurious hat without taking any action.

"It wasn't you?" A woman standing in the northeast corner said coldly, "I heard the sound and rushed over. It took less than three breaths for you to be standing next to Tian Yong's corpse. Can you be faster than me?"

"Seven breaths."

"Five breaths."

"Six breaths."

The other three people reported their times one after another. Some of them rushed back from the front hall, some from the back hall, and some went to the Chiyu Pavilion to search for clues again.

"You all saw me rushing over." Jiang Wang said, facing their gazes.

The cultivator with the luxurious hat's expression became even uglier. "Of course I'm faster than you because when I heard the sound and turned around, he was already dead!"

"That's even more interesting." The woman sneered, "Did he die from seeing your ugliness?"

"You!"

The cultivator with the luxurious hat was indeed lacking in dignity, and he became furious at her words. "Believe it or not, it's up to you. I didn't kill him. But if you want trouble, feel free to come at me!"

"Lian Que, don't be in a hurry to get angry. Explain what happened." An old-looking cultivator spoke up.

He should know the cultivator with the luxurious hat, but their relationship is probably not close.

Although he helped Lian Que resolve the situation with his words, his figure did not move to block his way.

Standing in front of Jiang Wang was a man wearing a long cloak. He should be exploring the same direction as Jiang Wang, just behind him.

After Jiang Wang appeared, he silently moved aside, maintaining enough vigilance.

He also said at this time, "Yes, tell us how you killed Tian Yong, the scion of the Tian family in Daze County. He must have had many treasures on him, right?"

His voice inexplicably sounded cold, lacking any human touch.

Lian Que glared at him, but he was not a fool and didn't want to attract everyone's attack.

He explained patiently, "I originally went to the back hall to search for opportunities, but suddenly I thought that the main hall hadn't been thoroughly searched yet. Although others must have already searched it, I still wanted to do it myself. So I turned back.

Just as I encountered Tian Yong in the hall, he had just returned as well. We chatted for a bit and exchanged some information. I didn't want to search for clues in front of him, so I decided to go to the back hall first. At that moment, I suddenly heard his scream, and when I turned around, he was already dead.

I didn't even have time to investigate the cause of death, and all of you came over!"

"If what you said is true, then who could have killed Tian Yong in such a short time and made it so that you, Lian Que, couldn't perceive it? Is there someone below the Soaring Dragon Realm who is that strong?" The woman who had questioned earlier asked again.

"Perhaps there is, but if it was him, he wouldn't be hiding." The old-looking cultivator said.

The woman's expression froze, and she knew who this person was referring to. She immediately said, "Since Wang Yiwu is not here, then obviously Lian Que is lying. How about it, Zhao Fangyuan, does your Four Seas Trading Company still want to protect the people of the Lian family?"

The old-looking cultivator shook his head. "I just think that since the opportunities haven't appeared yet, we don't need to fight to the death. Of course, if Lian Que chooses to kill in advance, we might as well push him out of the competition."

Pushing someone out of the competition naturally means killing them.

The cultivator wearing the long cloak echoed in a sinister voice, "Exactly."

The female cultivator in the northeast corner also took two steps closer.

In fact, whether it was true or not, having one less competitor meant one more opportunity for oneself.

Especially since the Lian family of Chiyang had a high status, Lian Que's strength was extraordinary.Eliminating such a competitor in advance is undoubtedly a good thing for the rivals.

"Everyone is killing each other before the opportunity even appears, isn't it too hasty?" Jiang Wang took a few steps into the hall.

Firstly, he didn't agree with the judgment that Lian Que was the murderer. Secondly, these three people seemed to be forming a small group. If they were allowed to kill Lian Que at this time, they might get a taste for it and continue to eliminate others in the same way.

This would be extremely disadvantageous for him, who was alone here, so he had to stop it.

"Maybe it's poisoning." The tall man standing at the entrance of the main hall said.

He had been silent until now.

"Why don't we first examine Tian Yong's body to determine the cause of death. It's not too late to make a decision then."

"In that case," Zhao Fangyuan said, "who is good at autopsy?"

Qi Country was prosperous in commerce, and the power of the business associations was not to be underestimated. The two largest business associations, Jubao Business Association and Four Seas Business Alliance, both had formidable forces that were no less than ordinary noble families.

Zhao Fangyuan, who came from the Four Seas Business Alliance, was naturally not afraid of Lian Que. But since both Jiang Wang and the tall man opposed it, even if the remaining three of them joined forces, it would only be a three-on-three situation, so they had to let it go.

"I'll do it." The tall man said, "I am Ji Xiu from Dongwang Valley, and I have studied autopsy."

Dongwang Valley was a world-renowned medical sect, and such a background was indeed convincing. At the same time, Dongwang Valley was an independent sect, not belonging to any country, and was relatively impartial in its stance.

Lian Que glared at Zhao Fangyuan, looking as if he was ready to fight to the death at any disagreement. But he still moved aside to let Ji Xiu come and check.

Jiang Wang had no objections. The cause of Tian Yong's death was very important, as it related to everyone's personal safety.

If he was poisoned, they needed to know what kind of poison it was in order to guard against it.

If he was killed by someone, they needed to know who the person was. Whether it was a cultivator who came in with them, or a danger hidden in the Dragon Palace.

Even if he was killed by Lian Que, they needed to eliminate this dangerous element.

Just as Ji Xiu walked to Tian Yong's body, squatted down, and was about to start the autopsy,

A sudden change occurred!
