Wu Yue's eyelids twitched, and she sensed something was wrong, so she moved forward quickly.

When she returned to Huangshi Village, the neat houses were all destroyed, and brick and tile fragments were everywhere.

"Who... did it." Wu Yue murmured in a low voice.

There must be a reason for everything. What is the purpose of the other party destroying Huangshi Village?

Attract their attention and then kill them?

Or erase some things? So as not to be discovered by them?

Wu Yue's brain was working quickly, deducing the truth of the matter through various clues, and reversely following the veins.

If she was the person behind the scenes, why would she do such a thing?

Wu Yue vaguely guessed the truth and came to a collapsed house. When she got close, a strong stench filled her nose, making people nauseous.

She did not hold her breath, and followed the smell to find the source.

A corpse!

A rotten corpse with half of its body pressed by bricks and stones!

She slowly put her hand into her robe and grasped the hilt of the sword. On the surface, she stared at the corpse, as if she was looking for the truth. On the inside, she was tense and her muscles were all tense, ready to burst out at any time.

Li Jiu and Pan Xu came over and stood beside Wu Yue, observing the corpse.

The corpse was highly rotten, as if it had been dead for several months, but not long ago, when they entered Huangshi Village, there was no stench here.

Pan Xu looked ugly and hurried to his aunt's house.

Then he stood in front of the ruined house, stunned, his face kept changing, and I don't know what he was thinking.

"Why is this happening! Who did it! Why do you do this!" Pan Xu said angrily.

Wu Yue looked around and saw that Pan Xu was not there, so he whispered to Li Jiu: "There was no assassination. The mastermind behind the scenes did not want to kill us. Nine out of ten times, they were afraid that the matter would get out of hand and attract the attention of stronger people, but it is likely that they did not know the identity of our star envoys."

"Who do you suspect did it?" Li Jiu whispered.

"It doesn't look like the work of a demon, but more like a human. The means behind the scenes are very clever. After killing people, they also use some method to corrode the corpse, disguising it as a scene created by a demon using his innate ability. In this way, the Evil Slayer Division cannot steal the remaining memory through the corpse and find any clues.

The other party's act of destroying the house is stupid. The demon has strong destructive power, but it is too lazy to destroy so many houses. There are no warriors in the village, and there will be no fighting, so it is not the aftermath of the battle that destroyed the house.

I personally think that the other party is not a fool, so he must have a purpose in destroying the house. There may be some secrets hidden in it." Wu Yue whispered calmly.

Wu Yue moved the bricks and stones and carefully searched for the abnormalities.

Nothing was found in the first abandoned house, nor in the second, and then the third, fourth, fifth, and third...

After searching sixteen houses in a row, nothing was found, but Wu Yue was not depressed, but very energetic and more focused.

She had a strong premonition that she was very close to the truth at this moment!

When searching the ruins of the 23rd house, there was still no clue.

Li Jiu suddenly said: "There is a demon breath here, very faint, it should be a demon that has stayed here for a while."

Wu Yue turned her head, very surprised. Li Jiu had not yet broken through to the Melting God, and his mental power had not yet transformed. How could he sense the demon breath?

She, a peak warrior of Xifan, did not notice it!

"Are you sure?"

"I am very sensitive to the demon breath." Li Jiu said.

If it was a human breath, he would find it difficult to sense it, but the demon breath was different. A little demon breath could trigger the blank demon fetus, and thus determine whether there was a demon here.

Wu Yue stopped where she was and carefully searched for suspicious places.

Li Jiu's attention was attracted by a relatively complete brick wall. He stretched out his hand and kneaded the blue bricks into powder like kneading dough.

One by one, the blue bricks turned into powder in his hands.

He stopped kneading and kneading, and there was a lot of blue brick powder on his palm.

Huh~

Blowing in one breath.

The blue brick powder flew all over the sky.

The hidden things inside were revealed.

A small black ball, about the size of a thumb, looked like a metal ball, without any special fluctuations or breath.

But Li Jiu didn't crush it at once, which proved that it was not an ordinary thing.

"Are you looking for this thing?" Li Jiu said.

Wu Yue walked to Li Jiu, picked up the small black ball, observed it for a while, and didn't see anything special.

She didn't give up, untied the red gourd around her waist, poured out the red liquid, and dripped it on the small black ball.

The red gourd is called the Red Lotus Gourd, which contains the karma water. It can corrode most of the spiritual gold in the world and destroy spirituality. It is used to target enemies with magic weapons.

Under the washing of the karma water, the small black ball gradually faded its black skin and turned into an irregular blue cube.

The moment Wu Yue saw the blue cube, she unraveled the cocoon and dug out part of the truth.

A cruel look appeared on the young face, "Split-type teleportation crystal! Often used in temporary teleportation arrays."

Teleportation crystals are extremely rare, and the Tianyuan court has not mastered the method of making teleportation crystals. Currently, all teleportation crystals are obtained by excavating ruins.

Generally speaking, if a teleportation crystal is used more than a hundred times, it will reach its limit and cannot be used anymore.

Therefore, the court rarely uses teleportation crystals. Only when there is a major event like the collapse of the front line will the teleportation crystals be activated to send strong men to support the front line to prevent alien invasions.

The mastermind secretly hid the teleportation crystal in the village, and there must be a big plan!

Li Jiu spat out two words when he heard this, "traitor."

Wu Yue nodded slightly. It was such a coincidence. They had just gone up the mountain to kill the ghost tiger. The other party took the opportunity to erase the traces. There was also the breath of the demon. It was most likely that the mastermind colluded with the demon.

"There is a 30% probability that it is a traitor in the Zhuxie Division. The traitor is not at the highest level, probably in the middle or upper level. If the other party knew that we were star envoys, they would definitely know that we reported this matter. The top leaders would definitely pay attention, so the mastermind treated us as ordinary demon slayers.

There is also a few percent probability that it was done by a big force. They may be hiding something big and are afraid of being caught by the Zhuxie Division."

"Has something similar happened before?" Li Jiu asked casually.

"No, it's my guess. It's not completely accurate. Go back and tell the higher-ups and let those old men worry about it." Wu Yue said.

Her guess also has loopholes, but compared with other guesses, it has the least loopholes. She thinks it is very close to the truth.

Pan Xu came over and saw that the bricks and stones had been moved. He couldn't help but ask: "Have you found any clues? Can you track down the murderer?"

"No obvious traces were left, so we can't track him." Wu Yue said.

Pan Xu frowned and clenched his fist unwillingly, "Are we going to watch the murderer walk around?"

"There are investigators in the department, let them track him down."

Pan Xu was silent for a moment and nodded.

The three of them traveled overnight. On the way back, Pan Xu didn't say another word, just traveled silently.

Nothing happened along the way, and they returned to Qinglong City smoothly the next morning.

After entering the city, Wu Yue silently remembered that the person behind the scenes was expected to be below the Five Extremes.
