Fortunately, there were still two generals who remained calm and clear-headed.
After Ji Tianxing analyzed a lot, they took the initiative to mention the mysterious mark.
"Advisor, what's with the mark that was left outside the town's walls?"
"That's right! Counselor, we can check from the hand imprint … "
Ji Tianxing finally showed a gratified smile and nodded. "You two have hit the nail on the head. I have already asked a few survivors, and they all clearly said that before the incident, there was no mysterious mark outside the town's walls.
This proves that the mysterious mark was purposely left behind by the murderer.
Let's not care about the murderer's motive for leaving the mark. We have to figure out what the mark means first. "
The captain of the guards and the generals quickly nodded in agreement.
Ji Tianxing continued, "The case that we were working on and investigating has reached a critical point, so we cannot put it aside.
Leave half of the manpower to continue investigating the case.
The other half will be personally commanded by me to deal with this case of collective disappearance.
I will now announce the personnel transfer. If there are any objections, please keep them to yourself … "
After that, Ji Tianxing divided the soldiers under his command into two groups. One group would continue investigating the case of Deputy Hall Master Jasper, while the other group would follow him to investigate the matter of the town.
…
Ji Tianxing had given a very strict gag order, and even warned the leaders of Jasper Hall and Black Mountain City.
Unfortunately, what happened in the small town was too sudden and too shocking.
The news eventually leaked out a day later, and some of the nobles in Jasper Hall found out about it.
And those nobles who wished for the world to be in chaos spread the news everywhere, so that the powerhouses of the other halls quickly found out about it.
Therefore, for a long time, the nobles and powerhouses of more than thirty halls in the south were discussing this bizarre incident.
Ji Tianxing was' busy 'for three whole days. Everyone saw with their own eyes that he did not sleep for three days and three nights to investigate the case of the collective disappearance of the town's citizens.
Unfortunately, there was no progress.
The only clue was that mysterious mark. Even though Ji Tianxing had flipped through thousands of history books, he still could not find the corresponding record.
It seemed that this case was going to become an unsolved case without any clues.
At this moment, the captain of the guards rushed into the study with a solemn expression and delivered a piece of bad news to Ji Tianxing.
"Advisor, bad news, something happened again!"
The captain of the guards ran all the way into the study and slapped a communication jade slip on the table in front of Ji Tianxing.
"Something happened in a small town in Youshan Hall!
The situation is almost the same. Tens of thousands of citizens all disappeared overnight! "
Ji Tianxing, who was dealing with official business, was stunned.
Of course, he knew that it was the masterpiece of the Prajna God Emperor.
However, he was still a little worried that Pan Ruo God Emperor would leave behind some traces and information that could be used against him.
"What? Something happened to Youshan Tang, and the situation is almost the same? "
Ji Tianxing's face was filled with shock, and his eyes were burning with rage.
With a low growl, he hurriedly picked up the communication jade slip and read its contents.
This communication jade slip was sent by the Youshan Hall's Hall Master. It reported in detail the time and location of the incident, as well as the results of their investigation.
The incident happened last night.
It was a remote small town. There were about a hundred thousand citizens living there, and the city's defense was rather weak.
The citizens in the city were caught off guard, and they were enveloped by a sealing array that suddenly appeared.
In a short hour, nearly fifty thousand Desolate race citizens were captured by a mysterious expert.
The fifty thousand Desolate race citizens who were lucky enough to survive were still in a state of shock. They tried their best to resist.
Unfortunately, they did not manage to see the murderer's face, nor did they manage to break the sealing array.
They could only see the sky filled with Divine Technique shadows, as well as a gigantic palm that blotted out the sky. They could also hear the incessant screams and cries of horror and despair.
An hour later, everything calmed down. The sealing array also automatically disappeared.
The mysterious murderer did not show his face from beginning to end.
However, close to fifty thousand civilians had disappeared without a trace, and half of the city had turned into ruins. It was a complete mess, and it was a tragic sight.
What was even stranger was that the Youshan Hall Master received the news at dawn. He quickly led his troops to investigate.
After a careful inspection of the scene, the Youshan Hall Master only found a small amount of blood. He did not see any corpses or remains.
Outside the devastated city, there was a mysterious mark left under the city gate that was paved with stone slabs.
And that mark was circular. In the middle, there was a picture of stars and clouds. It was exactly the same as the one they found in the small town!
"Damn it! That mysterious murderer had left the Jasper Hall so quickly and sneaked into the Mountain Hall.
This is definitely a premeditated attack! "
After Ji Tianxing finished reading the jade slip, he slammed the table angrily. His body emitted intense killing intent.
The guard captain could no longer be bothered with his anger. With a long face, he said anxiously, "Lord Advisor, now is not the time to discuss this matter!
This is already the second major case in four days. Using the same method, more than seventy thousand people have disappeared!
This time, no matter what you say, we have to report to the Governor.
This matter has blown up and we can't handle it anymore. It's better to let the Governor report to the Temple! "
These few days, the guard captain had also been investigating the disappearance of the small town's citizens. He had no clue. He was so anxious that his confidence was about to collapse.
Now that the same thing had happened to Youshan Hall and the number of citizens who had been abducted was even greater, he could not take it anymore.
Ji Tianxing still wanted to say a few more words of persuasion to push this matter back a little.
He had originally planned to wait for the Prajna God Emperor to make a move and kidnap a group of citizens before reporting to the Hidden Warfare Department.
He did not expect the guard captain to be so anxious. He could not even bear this little pressure.
Not long after, after the news spread, several generals rushed into the study and jointly requested Ji Tianxing to report to the Hidden Warfare Department.
At this juncture, if Ji Tianxing still forcefully suppressed the news and did not report to the Hidden Warfare Department, the guards and generals would not listen.
The captain of the guards and the generals would not listen to him. They would definitely knock on his door and forcefully awaken him.
Instead of developing to that point, Ji Tianxing could only take the guard captain and generals to awaken the Hidden Warfare Department.
Unfortunately, the Hidden Warfare Department was still in seclusion in the secret room. He was thinking about how to increase his strength and condense his second Dao.
Suddenly being knocked on, he was shocked. He could only extinguish the trace of comprehension that he had accumulated with great difficulty and forcefully end his seclusion.
After opening the door of the secret room, he looked at everyone with a dark face and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Did the sky fall? You all actually came together to knock on the door? "
