Are You a Disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land?

That's why it's always been said that Senior Brother Ma Liang will always be Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant!

Regarding this level of comprehension, Liu Bo said that if he could learn even one ten-thousandth of it in his lifetime, it would be an incredible stroke of luck.

Moreover, Senior Brother Ma Liang's understanding of Senior Brother Xinghe was not the only factor; his analysis of the entire incident made Liu Bo realize that the gap between him and Senior Brother Ma Liang was not just in talent, but also in intellect—he was completely incomparable to Senior Brother Ma Liang.

Ma Liang stated that the entire Star City was poisoned, which was absurd in itself, especially since it was a poison that was almost impossible to detect.

So, if you want to win someone over, you first need to understand what the other person's purpose is in doing so.

Generally speaking, poisoning is targeted at a specific group.

Whether it's revenge or retribution, poisoning should have a relatively precise target.

Ma Liang was certain that this could not possibly be a case of a poisoner accidentally poisoning the entire Star City by mistake!

Because this sounds absolutely outrageous... Do you know what it means to have someone who could accidentally poison the entire city?

Therefore, Ma Liang advised Liu Bo that this matter was not so simple... Someone who could poison the entire Star City with a single disagreement was definitely not an ordinary person.

Ma Liang warned Liu Bo to be extremely careful, and not to act rashly if he discovered any clues, given Liu Bo's cultivation level.

Liu Bo's cultivation level isn't particularly high; if he were to encounter a truly formidable opponent, Liu Bo might still face some trouble.

Based on Senior Brother Ma Liang's analysis, Liu Bo gave up on continuing to investigate the water source and instead went to the cemetery in the west of Star City.

The western part of Star City used to be a mass grave, but the people of Star City pooled their money and effort to build a huge cemetery.

After people from Star City die, they are mostly buried in this cemetery.

While in Star City, you might only notice that there are a lot of funerals, but when Liu Bo actually arrived at the cemetery in the west of the city, he realized that in the past two weeks, the number of people who had died in Star City was far greater than before.

As soon as Liu Bo stepped into the cemetery, he could clearly see that paper money was scattered everywhere, and funeral processions were coming one after another.

In this short period of time, countless people in Star City have been silently poisoned without their knowledge.

However, Liu Bo also had to thank Palace Master Wu Qun for discovering the poisoning situation in Star City so early; otherwise, who knows how many more people would have lost their lives inexplicably.

Now Liu Bo just wanted to see what kind of heartless and insane person dared to do this.

After spending an entire day staking out the cemetery, Liu Bo didn't see any suspicious individuals.

Liu Bo did not leave that night, but chose to continue to keep watch at the cemetery.

Although there are caretakers in Star City Cemetery, Star City cemetery is very large, and the so-called caretakers are usually elderly people.

Most of the so-called guards just find a place to sleep on weekdays.

Therefore, there are basically no people in the cemetery in Star City at night.

Liu Bo knew that Celestial Person around, even the poisoner wouldn't easily appear here. Therefore, even if the poisoner did appear, it would definitely be at night.

For an entire night, Liu Bo kept a close eye on everything happening in the cemetery, but no problems arose...

The next morning, the cemetery continued as usual...

As night fell, Liu Bo continued his stakeout, but the result was the same as the previous day—he still found nothing.

After two consecutive nights of surveillance, Liu Bo wasn't exactly exhausted, but Liu Bo still somewhat disappointed.

What the heck? Do you think it's possible that Senior Brother Xinghe's prediction was wrong?

In response, Liu Bo retorted, "Do you even know what Star Divination Art is?"

When has Senior Brother Xinghe's Star Divination Art ever gone wrong?

Even if we can't catch the poisoners, it's definitely not because Senior Brother Xinghe's Star Divination Art malfunctioned; it's only because they've already left Star City.

Just as Liu Bo was planning to stay one more night before leaving... two dark figures suddenly darted into the cemetery.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the dark figure, Liu Bo was so excited he almost peed himself!

It's finally here! I've been waiting for this moment!

"Old Li, what the hell went wrong? How come everyone's poison has been cured? Wu Qun came to Star City a few days ago, could it be that he was behind it?" one of the shadowy figures asked.

The other shadowy figure, referred to as Old Li, shook his head and said, "I initially had the same thought as you, but this isn't right... If Wu Qun really found out, he should have announced it immediately. But I've already inquired, and Wu Qun has indeed left Star City and returned to the Heavenly Medicine Palace; everything is as usual!"

"Then there must be something wrong with the corpse poison itself. Should we try another round?"

"No! I've already informed my superiors. Their advice is that the situation is unclear, and we absolutely cannot continue. After we steal all the corpses today, we'll leave Star City and choose our next target later!"

"Good!"

As they talked, the two began searching for newly buried graves in the cemetery. With their efforts, graves were opened one after another, and countless coffins were opened as well. Old Li kept throwing out dark green orbs of light. Each time an orb entered the forehead of a corpse, the corpse would stand up in a very strange way, jumping out of the coffin as if it had come back to life!

Then, one by one, the corpses came to Old Li's side, forming a neat line behind Old Li!

Seeing this, Liu Bo finally understood why the poisoning in Star City was indiscriminate!

Because the target wasn't a specific person or group, but a corpse!

The other party is going to exhume corpses, so it doesn't matter who died, as long as there are corpses!

Grave robbing was considered the most heinous of all practices, not just in Star City, but even in the entire Three Continents in the past!

Not to mention that these two are not only digging up graves, but they've even robbed corpses. This grave robbing and corpse stealing is simply the epitome of depravity.

No matter how angry he was, Liu Bo did not choose to make a move, because the moment these two appeared, Liu Bo sensed their powerful Ninth Rank aura!

These aren't just petty tomb raiders or corpse thieves... these two guys are both at the Ninth Rank of cultivation!

Even now, with the Four Continents united and Spiritual Qi flourishing, and countless people breaking through their cultivation levels, the Ninth Rank is still a height that countless people can only dream of reaching.

But today, both of the corpse thieves were actually Ninth Rank.

Liu Bo knew very well that facing two Ninth Rank, let alone stopping them, his life would be in grave danger if he even showed up!

Therefore, Liu Bo suppressed his breathing to the lowest level, remaining hidden here and not daring to make a sound.

The two men dug up all the recently buried bodies from the burial mounds.

"Old Li, stop standing there, it's time to go. Let's find a place to lay low for a while, and then we'll find another opportunity to strike!"

"Good!"

The two were about to leave with the corpses when Liu Bo became anxious as he watched them depart.

According to these two, if they were really allowed to leave, they probably would never return to Star City in their lifetime.

Once they go into hiding, it will be virtually impossible to find them again in the Future.

So Liu Bo couldn't just stand by and watch them leave, but Liu Bo also knew that he had no way to stop them from leaving.

After much deliberation, Liu Bo decided to take a risk. At that moment, a talisman suddenly appeared in Liu Bo's hand. This talisman was a tracking talisman, but Liu Bo certainly did not intend to use it on these two people.

Two Ninth Rank, you use a tracking talisman to suddenly appear in their faces, if they still can't detect it, then there's something fishy going on.

Therefore, Liu Bo's target was the corpses. These two would definitely leave with the corpses. As long as he placed the tracking talisman on any of the corpses, he could notify the sect as soon as they left. With the capabilities of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, they would definitely be able to track down the two of them instantly using the tracking talisman!

Thinking of this, Liu Bo did not hesitate for long. The light of the tracking talisman was very weak, and it flew almost imperceptibly towards a corpse when it flew out of Liu Bo's hand.

Just as the tracking talisman was about to hit the corpse, a voice came from not far away. "Little mouse, you still couldn't keep your composure!"

Upon hearing this sound, Liu Bo's expression changed drastically!

There were three of them, not just two. Before Liu Bo could react, a beam of light descended upon Liu Bo head!

The sudden burst of spiritual light carried boundless killing intent, and as it met the light, a beam of spiritual light also flew out from Liu Bo's chest. A spiritual treasure directly blocked what was almost a fatal blow for Liu Bo!

"Able to block a strike from a Ninth Rank opponent, what a treasure..." The third person was also shrouded in a black cloak, and he stepped towards Liu Bo through the air.

"Little mouse, you certainly have quite a few magical treasures on you... You even managed to prevent the three of us from pinpointing your location. It's a pity you couldn't hold back. The moment you made your move was the moment of your death..." As the cloaked man spoke, Liu Bo realized that he had truly been tricked.

Although Liu Bo is very talented, don't forget that Liu Bo's age is actually about the same as Ma Liang's.

Although they were both outer disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Ma Liang had spent many years scheming and plotting against others, encountering all sorts of conspiracies and tricks, and suffering all kinds of losses along the way.

If Ma Liang were here today, Ma Liang would immediately tell that there was something fishy about Old Li and that other person...

Think about it, these grave robbers, after completing their task, didn't they hurry up and leave? Instead, they posed and talked for a while.

What? Are you afraid no one will find out?

In fact, the two, or rather the three who came, had detected Liu Bo's aura from the beginning. However, the disciple tokens of the Vast Heaven Holy Land on Liu Bo's body were all personally crafted by Ouyang Ming, and these disciple tokens had the ability to conceal one's aura.

Therefore, although the three of them could sense that someone was there, they could not accurately pinpoint Liu Bo's location.

The cemetery is so vast that if Liu Bo doesn't come out, the three of them really won't be able to find Liu Bo.

Their entire conversation was deliberately designed to give Liu Bo the impression that if he didn't make a move soon, they would leave completely.

Liu Bo had no experience in this area. Once he made a move, his aura was exposed, and he no longer had any chance to hide it!

"Old Zhang, stop talking nonsense. Kill him, and collect the body too. We should leave!"

"Good!"

Without any unnecessary words, the black-cloaked figure known as Old Zhang appeared in front of Liu Bo in a flash. Just as Old Zhang Liu Bo made his move, a flash of spiritual light appeared on Liu Bo's body, and the Nebula Spirit Cat flew out from Liu Bo 'Liu Bo body to fight alongside its master!

The moment the Nebula Spirit Cat appeared, Old Zhang had been attacking with all his might, suddenly withdrew his Spirit Power. He took a few steps back, and the three of them stared wide-eyed at Liu Bo in front of them!

"You... are a disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land?"
