The area now in ruins has been completely isolated by a large number of sword cultivators. They do not allow any outsiders to approach, otherwise they will kill them without mercy.
Elder Hong was looking for clues with a livid face. The opponent's sophisticated methods told him that the person coming was definitely a top assassin.
Not only did the enemy kill people here, but after seeing the warning, they also destroyed the warning formation here and the entire courtyard.
And it was destroyed very thoroughly. At the same time, the opponent used a variety of Dharma Treasure at the same time, which made the five elements of spiritual energy here extremely complex.
He Divine Sense was so swollen and sore from the exploration that he couldn't find any useful clues, so he couldn't tell which monk the enemy was?
Because there is no special existence in the turmoil of the remaining spiritual energy of heaven and earth here. If the earth here is scorched, then he can at least lock the opponent's technique or Dharma Treasure is a fire attribute.
Then he would at least have a direction for his investigation, but now the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is completely chaotic.
"You stay away too, I'll come and take a look!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Elder Hong. He quickly turned around and saw a thin figure appearing behind him.
The person came up behind him silently, but Elder Hong was startled. He only reacted after seeing the other person's appearance clearly.
This person was also followed by Elder Zhang. Of course, this Elder Zhang was not the Elder Zhang who died not long ago, but a beautiful woman. They only had the same surname.
"Yes!"
After Elder Hong saw the person clearly, he immediately stepped back without hesitation...
After Yuan Zhen just explored here for dozens of breaths, he immediately ducked out of Fangshi, his face was quite gloomy.
The place has been completely destroyed, leaving no clues at all. It seems that Zhu Hongyi used "Sword Spirit to Connect the Sun and the Moon" here, and he might only have seen a patch of white light.
He believed that the other party must have come prepared, and they may have known about "Sword Spirit and Sun and Moon" Divine Ability, so even if he could detect it, what he saw would be fake.
"Sword Psychic, Sun and Moon" Divine Ability is powerful, but it is only a traceback and cannot identify the real situation of the people or objects in the picture.
Even if someone just wears a mask, even if Zhu Hongyi is here, it is impossible for him to use "Sword Spirit and Sun and Moon" Divine Ability to penetrate the mask and see the true face behind it.
What's more, Brother Zhu Hongyi was not in the sect at all at this time, so it was a coincidence that the other party found them at this time.
This gave Yuan Zhen a headache. The other party was really patient, and he suddenly took action after so many years.
And how could they sneak into a house with several layers of array protection silently, and actually successfully kill one person?
The formation arranged here means that even if he wants to sneak in silently, he may not be able to escape detection.
He felt that the only way to break through it was to use his own cultivation, but this was also the confidence they used to protect Fangshi, and they were not afraid of someone coming to sneak attack here.
As for the ruins that were severely damaged, Elder Hong and the others could not find any clues, but Yuan Zhen found the reason.
"Five Elements! Five Immortals Sect, your methods are really weird and unpredictable..."
After Yuan Zhen's investigation just now, he had already obtained an important clue, which was the chaotic Five Elements Spiritual Energy there.
In the eyes of others, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth consists of five basic attributes of spiritual energy. However, the spiritual energy in normal heaven and earth will not be chaotic, but will circulate normally with Five-Element Generation.
The five elements of spiritual energy there were extremely chaotic, and there were no special changes such as fire and metal, so Elder Hong felt that the other party was deliberately covering up his behavior.
That was because Elder Hong and the others knew that there was a sect called Five Elements Sect, but they had disappeared for too long, so their direction of investigation was solidified, and everything was judged according to normal analysis.
But Yuan Zhen saw something that frightened him. The other party used the spiritual power of the Five Elements, so there was a problem with the spiritual energy of the Five Elements there, and no individual attributes were highlighted...
Half a day later, Yuan Zhen's figure appeared again in West Qifang City. After he went out, he followed up but could not find any useful clues.
In fact, when he went out, he had already expected such an outcome. The other party came prepared this time. He basically left Fangshi calmly after committing the murder.
He found something. Those three people were indeed masters of assassination. They once again hid themselves when they left, so no one noticed the whereabouts of these three people on the road in Fang City.
The next moment they appeared, they had already arrived at an exit of Fangshi. Then they suddenly took action again. In just a short moment, they killed another group of disciples at Fangshikou.
At that time, there were no pursuers coming from behind, and the time chosen by the opponent was late at night. There were only occasional monks coming and going from Fang City. The three of them had time to clean up all the traces at the entrance.
It's just that even if there is a little hope, Yuan Zhen has to go out and look for him. What if he may not be able to find him?
After all, his cultivation level was much higher than that of Elder Hong and others, but the result still left Yuan Zhen disappointed, and he even felt a little depressed.
His talent Divine Ability is mainly focused on attack, and he also has the detection type Divine Ability, but that requires seeing the opponent's body, and it is Divine Ability that can see through the loopholes in the enemy's spells.
If he is from the "Spirit Tracking Sky Rat" clan, then even if the other party leaves, he may rely on his keen sense of smell to find him.
Unfortunately, that is not his talent Divine Ability, and because this talent Divine Ability is so strong, the "Spirit Tracking Sky Rat" has long been coveted by too many monks. Traces of this clan are now quite rare.
What's more, people are good at finding traces, so it's extremely difficult to find this clan...
These thoughts were only what Yuan Zhen thought when he was tracking outside. After returning to Fangshi, he carefully explored the ruins again.
Soon after, Yuan Zhen ordered Elder Hong and the others to bring Jade Slip, which registered all entrances and exits in Fang City within six months.
"You two are on duty here for the time being. The city is temporarily closed to the public. However, after the people in the city verify their identities, they can be let go. The rest are waiting for my next order!"
After Yuan Zhen collected more than ten pieces and registered Jade Slip, he quickly walked towards the teleportation array. He had to go back to verify some situations.
No matter what the appearance of those three people is, are they real or fake? But Elder Lin, who was severely injured, had definitely seen it before. He wanted to compare it with the registered Jade Slip to determine the time when the other party entered the market.
If the other party did not enter in the past few days or on the same day, it means that the other party must have been preparing for a long time in West Qifang City. In this case, the three people must have a place to stay.
And if there is a time point, you can conduct an investigation in the city. The opponent cannot come and go out of thin air, but there is a guard formation here that strictly prohibits casual entry.
In fact, Elder Hong and Elder Zhang had already asked Elder Lin about the appearance of those three people, otherwise why would they have gone out to pursue them first.
It's just that Yuan Zhen must ask it himself. In this way, he can get a first-hand true judgment by asking from his own perspective without having to rely on others to tell him.
Moreover, West Qifang City can no longer be opened at this time. These people here can basically be excluded. If they are related to those people, they will definitely think of strict investigation here.
You can think of things yourself, but if the other party has been planning for a long time, why can't you think of these things? Leaving possible loopholes open is simply not necessary.
Therefore, Yuan Zhen acted very decisively. He simply ordered to verify and let them leave directly.
Of course, Yuan Zhen also had other considerations in doing this. There may be powerful people behind these people. If the number is small, it would be okay to be detained here.
Once there are many people with background here, "Luo Gucheng" will of course be overwhelmed. He has to ensure that "Luo Gucheng" does not make too many enemies.
He did not make the sound "Luo Gucheng" to the outside world at this time. First, he needed further verification, and second, the temporary calm here indicated that another killing was about to begin.
Then someone will have to endure the boundless anger of "Luo Gucheng" for this later. Even if the anger like last time is just for outsiders to see, this kind of shock must be there.
Yuan Zhen had already guessed that the real enemy might be the most mysterious sect. How could it be so easy to find those three people?
At the same time, after today's incident, an idea suddenly arose in Yuan Zhen's heart, an idea to persuade Zhu Hongyi.
If the master can't find the other party this time, it would be better to release all the information about the Five Immortals Sect.
Then too many forces will swarm into action, and because of these two incidents, many eyes will be fixed on "Luo Gucheng". This will undoubtedly give them too many free thugs.
Five Immortals Sect Therefore, they dare not take action here again, and they need to devote more attention to dealing with the crazy search everywhere...
As soon as Yuan Zhen teleported back to the sect, he immediately went to Elder Lin's courtyard.
"I'm Yuan Zhen!"
Arriving in front of the other party's courtyard, Yuan Zhen spoke immediately. His voice was not loud, but soon the courtyard door opened, and then a very weak voice came from inside.
"Uncle Yuan, please forgive me... I am not allowed to visit you!"
There was no expression on Yuan Zhen's face. He walked slowly into the courtyard, and then Divine Sense just glanced slightly and walked straight towards a room.
In a room, Yuan Zhen saw Elder Lin sitting cross-legged on a futon. Although the elder was neatly dressed, he was extremely depressed.
The neat robe must have been changed recently, but there were still patches of bright red oozing out from many places on it.
The other party even exuded a very strong smell of Pill, filling the whole room with a mixture of various medicinal aromas.
Yuan Zhen had already smelled these strong smells after entering the courtyard.
He couldn't help but look at Elder Lin carefully. Elder Lin had a slender body. There was a huge sword box next to him at the moment. He was an external sword monk.
However, Elder Lin's cultivation level is very high, not inferior to those of the inner sword cultivators. He has reached the peak level of the Middle Void Refinement Realm, and is about to break through.
Elder Lin's complexion was sallow, his eyes were lifeless, his aura was strong and weak, and his aura was very messy. Yuan Zhen could feel it when he was weak, almost to the level of Void Refinement Early Stage.
He placed his hands in a seal on his knees, especially on the left side of his body. There was a large blood mark soaking through his clothes, which was the area below his heart.
This made the strong Pill smell in the room mixed with the pungent smell of blood. Judging from the blood marks on the opponent's robe, Elder Lin had at least five or six injuries all over his body.
Elder Lin looked at Yuan Zhen who came in. He sat there and bowed slightly. Just such a simple action made his eyes even more dull.
After he was sent back by Elder Zhang, he immediately healed his injuries and meditated. With such a serious injury, even if other elders from the same sect came to visit, he would not receive him.
But now that Master Yuan came over, he had no way to refuse, so he could only interrupt his meditation to recover.
He also understood what the other party meant by coming over. He must have wanted to ask him personally what happened today!
Elder Lin found Yuan Zhen standing there, looking at him with a pair of dark pupils...
