I was completely dumbfounded!
There were a total of 18 Celestial Masters. Excluding the seven Celestial Masters who died in the hands of the evil sacrificial spirit, there were still 11 Celestial Masters. Among these 11 Celestial Masters, there were eight Yang God Celestial Masters, including President Gu and Zhang Daozhang from Mount Longhu … Yesterday, I didn't even dare to kill President Gu. Who would have thought that they would all be killed today!
If this news spread out, the entire Metaphysics world would be in chaos.
Whether it was the Metaphysics Society or Mount Longhu, they would all be shocked!
But who did it?
I didn't think much as Nangong's figure appeared in my head.
After leaving the royal tomb yesterday, only the Celestial Masters and Nangong were left in the sacrificial hall. Moreover, Nangong told me that his cultivation base had recovered a little … From this point, it seemed that besides Nangong, there was no one else.
But if Nangong wanted to kill them, why did he have to send me away first?
I didn't have any friendship with these people. To some extent, there was hatred between us. If Nangong insisted on killing them, I would have raised both of my hands to support him.
Moreover, even if Nangong sent me away to kill them, why did he have to bring their corpses out in public?
Wouldn't it be better to let these people rot in the sacrificial hall?
There must be something strange going on!
As I thought about it, I suddenly realized a serious problem.
If the murderer wasn't Nangong, where was he now?
Would he be in danger?
Although he had said that he had recovered a little bit of his cultivation base, he wasn't at his peak condition. If someone was hiding in the sacrificial hall, would they also attack Nangong after killing these Celestial Masters?
As I thought about it, I carefully checked. In that pile of flesh and blood, many corpses had turned into broken pieces. Moreover, they were piled up together. It was possible that some people that I couldn't see were buried under them …
In other words, was Nangong also in that pile of corpses?
I was very anxious and hated that I couldn't rush in to check. However, there were a lot of people watching and the lobby was full of policemen. I didn't dare to act rashly and could only stand there anxiously.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the policemen didn't seem to want to dig up the pile of corpses. I thought for a moment and squeezed out of the crowd. I turned around to find Zhang Kanwen and asked him worriedly, "What happened?"
Zhang Kanwen shook his head with a solemn expression. "I don't know either. It's just that I heard a lot of people making a ruckus here at noon. I even heard someone shouting 'someone's dead', so I came out to check it out out of curiosity. Then, I saw this scene …"
I frowned and stayed silent for a while. Then, I asked, "What did you mean when you said that the Lu family is here?"
Nangong pointed at the museum ruins and asked curiously, "Didn't you see the Lu family in the museum ruins?"
I was bewildered. I was scared by the corpses, so I didn't pay attention to see who was in the museum.
Nangong seemed to see through my thoughts and continued, "When I came over to check on the situation, I saw three people from the Lu family walk in. One of them was the Lu Chengyi we met last time … They should still be inside."
My heart shivered. The Lu family couldn't have come after receiving the news that all the Heavenly Masters were dead. They couldn't be that fast.
They must have rushed here because of Lu Ziyang's death, but they just happened to see this scene.
The Lu family must have come here to find the murderer who killed Lu Ziyang.
According to what Lu Ziyang said that day, the Lu family might already know that I was the one who did it.
I stayed silent for a while and didn't take the risk to confirm the Lu family's identity. Instead, I asked Zhang Kanwen another question that I was more concerned about.
"When you found the pile of corpses, did you see Nangong?"
Zhang Kanwen shook his head and quickly asked me, "Do you think it was Nangong who did it?"
It was obvious that he had the same thought as me. He felt that it was very likely that Nangong killed these people.
Actually, I had asked him if he had seen Nangong's corpse, but he had answered my question at least.
I let out a breath of relief. As long as Nangong wasn't dead, it didn't matter to me whether Nangong killed these people or not.
After staying silent for a while, I turned to look at Zhang Kanwen and said, "The Lu family is already here, and the one leading them is Lu Chengyi … I can't stay here any longer. Let's leave immediately. What do you think?"
Zhang Kanwen didn't hesitate and immediately nodded. "Leaving is the best option. Although the situation is different, if the Lu family can confirm that you killed Lu Ziyang, they might put the blame on you for the deaths of the others. Moreover, it's unlikely that I will be able to get away from it.
At that time, the entire Metaphysics Association will be in an uproar. It's too dangerous to stay here. Let's not waste any more time and leave immediately! "
After getting his agreement, I didn't say anything else. I immediately turned around and headed back to the hotel with him.
When we arrived outside our room, Zhang Kanwen and I packed our luggage separately and returned to our own rooms. As soon as I entered the room, I was stunned again.
Nangong was sitting at the head of my bed!
I didn't react in time. I looked at him blankly and didn't say anything for a long time.
In the end, Nangong chuckled and asked me, "What's wrong?
Were you shocked after seeing the corpses of the Heaven's Masters? "
I gulped and calmed down a little. I quickly asked him, "Those people, did you kill them?"
Nangong smiled and shook his head. "I didn't kill them."
I heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, I was even more confused.
"If you didn't kill them, then they must have been killed by someone else … There are other people hiding in the Spring Sacrifice Hall. How … How did you escape?"
Nangong looked at me thoughtfully before asking me with a smile, "What's wrong?
You don't believe me? "
I opened my mouth but before I could reply, Nangong smiled and waved his hand. "Actually, I don't know how they died either.
After all of you left yesterday, I got those people to follow you and leave while I searched for an item in the Spring Sacrifice Hall.
It wasn't until this morning that I finally succeeded. When I came out from the underground, I discovered that all of them were dead.
As for how they died, I'm as confused as you are. "
With my status and relationship with Nangong, there was no need for him to lie to me. Thus, I immediately believed his words and smiled wryly. "Even though we didn't kill them, if the Lu family knew that I killed Lu Ziyang, I'm afraid that the deaths of the others will be blamed on me. I'm afraid that I won't be able to hide from them even if I hide at the ends of the earth."
Nangong nodded. "That's right. I'm afraid that the entire Metaphysics world will be frantically searching for you … What do you intend to do?"
To be honest, I had an idea at this moment, which was to escape to the Fire God Temple to look for Bi An.
Even though with her cultivation, it wasn't possible for her to deal with the entire Metaphysics world. However, that place was very secretive and the people from the Metaphysics world wouldn't be able to find it for the time being.
Nangong also knew about Bi An, so I didn't hide it from him and told him what I had in mind.
Nangong nodded. "That's a good idea, but it's not a long term plan … How about this? You go there for a few days first. After I've prepared myself, I'll bring you to a safe place. What do you think?"
A safe place?
I looked at Nangong and asked him where exactly it was.
Nangong shook his head. "I can't tell you for the time being."
After saying that, he stood up from the bed and pointed at a wooden box on the bed. "That's right. This is the item that I've been looking for in the Sacrificial Hall. Didn't I say that I was looking for it for you last time? Here, I'll give it to you."
After saying that, he patted his butt and left the room just like before.
After he left, I walked over and picked up the wooden box to take a look. I was instantly shocked.
The wooden box looked extremely simple and unadorned. There were some complicated veined patterns engraved on it. Moreover, each of the veined patterns hid an extremely astonishing aura of Dao Qi. I had only stared at one of the veined patterns for a while, but my heart was already filled with fear. It was as though the veined patterns hid a monstrous killing intent that made me shudder.
Moreover, the most important thing wasn't the engraved veined patterns, but the three ancient characters in the middle of the wooden box.
