The Lord who use immortals as food

"Yes, of course." Xiao Changgong said, "Master Sui also mentioned it to me this morning. Wu Hejian once said that he would bequeath the [Jade Tiger] to you, and I think you will too."

He was silent for a moment and patted the young man's still weak shoulder gently: "There is death in life, and you should die well. For us Hejian, dying in a strange case is like dying in Kunlun. Wu Hejian is the best in our station. Senior, only one who dies in such a case is worthy of him."

Pei Ye let out a low "Hmm", but Xiao Changgong changed his steps: "Hong Liang, go and do your work. I will accompany Pei Shaoxia to take a look."

Lead the young man inside.

The remains without holes were placed alone in the deepest quiet chamber.

Three thresholds away, Xiao Changgong began to show his crane tag and official documents, and the two men were carefully identified.

The standards of care here are indeed very high. The moment Pei Ye crossed the first threshold, he felt enveloped by the formation. This area of ​​the Law Enforcement Hall was quickly and temporarily transformed into a forbidden room by the Immortal Platform.

Pei Ye thought for a moment and understood why - Wudong died in a head-on fight with Qu Zhu. He had been doing crane inspections for twenty years and knew exactly how the Immortal Terrace would investigate his body later.

As long as there is a chance, he will definitely leave clues in some hidden places.

Now the pursuit of Qu Zhu, who has disappeared without a trace, may be the clearest main line that Xianrentai can catch.

Pei Ye crossed the threshold. Several clean-clothed people were standing in the empty room talking in low voices, and the old man's body came into view.

The iconic pair of sharp gray eyes were invisible, and they were coldly closed, and the blood-stained and disheveled gray hair hung down in strands.

Pei Ye has known for a long time that dead people are not completely limp. After their strength dissipates, they will become hard and heavy, especially in appearance, especially those who have spent some time after death. This kind of expression cannot be performed by a living person.

He was still nailed to the wall.

Not much cleaning and tidying was done, but everything possible was done to restore the old man's appearance when he died.

"When we entered the cave, everything was destroyed." Xiao Changgong's steady voice sounded next to him, "Qu Zhu should have gone back there later and erased all traces before leaving - but he didn't Destroy the remains without holes.”

"We found him in the rubble, and after a night of recovery, we believe he was stabbed to the wall through his throat when he died."

Pei Ye looked at the corpse on the wall. His clothes were stained with blood, his arms were missing, and his organs were exposed. He lowered his eyes and nodded: "That's it."

"This is not a difficult task." Xiao Changgong walked forward, "The important thing is to find the clues."

"We have actually made considerable progress. As traces continue to be sent from the cave, many scars reflect the characteristics of the murderer." He came to the case table and pointed to the fresh and numerous books. , "You see, we are doing specialized analysis on almost every injury."

Pei Ye lowered his eyes and saw that the achievements of the Immortal Platform in just two days were indeed amazing. On the page that Xiao Changgong followed his finger, the broken arm without holes and the final trend of muscle and bone strength were listed together. He concluded that Wudong had used that style of [King of Hell Sword], and he must have accomplished something, that is, he was cut off from his arm in this extremely fatal sword attack.

The removal of the sword-holding arm meant that the fight had come to an end. The old man's body had reached its limit, and there were indeed no traces of more rounds. His next move was pierced through the throat by his own sword. .

Pei Ye glanced around and saw that there were many analyzes listed, all of which were detailed and detailed. The battle was being slowly restored.

But he pursed his lips slightly, realizing the dilemma facing the Immortal Terrace.

From the scars to analyzing the sword skills and dissociating the formations, every line and every eye accurately pointed to the identity of the murderer, explaining how he killed Wudong in the fight with one move after another.

But what's the point?

This is not a game to find the real murderer. They already knew that Qu Zhu killed the old man. What they need to know now is his whereabouts.

And where Qu Zhu went after killing people and destroying the cave obviously has little to do with this battle.

"We are wondering why Qu Zhu didn't destroy Wudong's body." Xiao Changgong obviously knew what the young man was thinking and said, "We hope he has modified something to mislead us and reveal the original appearance like that. , and we found a clue. What I don’t want is that all the clues this body can provide have nothing to do with his whereabouts, so it’s better to leave them to tie us down.”

"Now?"

Xiao Changgong was silent and said softly: "New scars are constantly being cracked, but no abnormalities can be found."

"."

"But we actually still have some hope." Xiao Changgong looked at the several people who were still busy.

Pei Ye looked at him.

"Because, unless a Hejian is forced to do so, he will never fight such a battle of going deep alone and risking his life." Xiao Changgong quietly looked at the old man's body on the wall and said softly, "When I entered the stage, there was no way I could fight." Your Excellency is already in the position of Hejian, and he is the senior I admire the most. He knows better than anyone how to make a sharp and thin short blade, rather than a long spear that can destroy both jade and stone."

Xiao Changgong didn't say any more.

"But Qu Zhu is not an easy opponent." Pei Ye said, he would always remember that genius figure in the valley on a snowy night.

"Yes, that's right. Qu Zhu is just as terrible and difficult to deal with. [Liu Feng] died there, and he casually left the body of Master Wu to us." Xiao Changgong paused, "But there is no way, we can only believe that Master Wu will win in this game."

"Yes."

The two were silent for a while, and Pei Ye whispered: "Thank you, Master Xiao, for bringing me here."

Xiao Changgong nodded, and the two went out.

"What else does Pei Shaoxia want to know? I'll lead you there."

Pei Ye waved his hand: "No need, Master Xiao, it's too much trouble. I'll just walk around casually."

"Okay, then just ask if you have anything to say."

Xiao Changgong nodded and left, but Pei Ye stood there without moving. He slowly leaned back against the wall, silently tilting his head to look in the direction he came out.

Pei Ye was not confident that he knew how to investigate the case better than Xianrentai. He believed that what he could find and think of would be recorded in the book by Xianrentai without omission.

So at this time he had to accept that the black robe had indeed disappeared without a trace.

When Sima and Yi Duanzhi came to chase them, Qu Zhu took over [Xi Ting Xin] from Jing Long and left here first.

[Xi Ting Xin] was not needed to chase them, so Huan Si Lou would not lose everything.

Pei Ye seemed to see the old man nailed to the wall again through several doors and walls, and the feeling of blood boiling when he first saw that scene in the stone cave became vivid again.

He actually just wanted to say goodbye to the old man, but Xiao Changgong's words suddenly made him feel depressed.

A strange case of death, a crane died in Kunlun. If this is the value of the old man's life, then Pei Ye suddenly realized that he seemed to be the only one who could complete this victory for him.

He broke into the stone cave alone, forcing Qu Zhu to take the challenge, and then seriously injured the enemy, destroyed the magic circle against the teenager, and left a perfect endgame for him to clean up.

But he failed this death.

"I want to take a gamble. If the child wins, we will win completely."

He died for this big case, but is this big case now completely won?

Of course not.

He just didn't let the enemy succeed, but [Xi Ting Xin] was still taken away by them, Miss Ming was still seriously injured, and many people in Shaolong and Xilong died because of this, but the murderer who killed Master Li and broke Piaoqing's arm was at large.

Only everything that was destroyed was left.

Pei Ye lowered his eyes and gently stroked the strange and beautiful long sword in his hand. At this time, he remembered very clearly the way the gray-eyed old man said the last sentence to him.

"He died in Kunlun." He murmured hoarsely, holding the sword tightly, and stood up from the wall.

Of course, it's good now.

Pei Ye closed his eyes.

After all, there are still many people alive, and now there is a large-scale relaxed mood. Everyone is happy for the large-scale removal of the Happy Death Tower, and is relieved that the descendant of Yunlang did not really die in the dark claws. A person who has not been arrested yet is also a fugitive.

Pei Ye didn't want to spoil everyone's fun too much. Although it was tragic, it was a victory after all - there is still plenty of time in the future.

He pushed this feeling deep into his heart and smiled.

He stood up and was about to go out when the young man next to him, Hong Liang, called him.

"Hey? Since Master Pei is here, can you come and help?" Hong Liang said, "I remember Master Pei seems to be quite good at fire magic. We found a copy of the "Fire Planting Book" from Sima's line."
