That's right. The mark left at the scene of each missing person case was Dao Xingyun's emblem.
In the God Realm, there was no one who did not know about that imprint. It represented the supreme God Emperor Nebula.
After coming to the Planet of Origin, Dao Xingyun hid the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command in the Emperor-level artifact that he carried with him. He also never showed his ship to anyone easily.
When he came into contact with the Taiyu Shrine, he was very low-key and almost never showed the emblem publicly.
However, there were still some valuable items with him that still had that imprint on them.
The Lord Hallmaster had the most contact with him, so of course, he had noticed that mark.
The Second Hallmaster had less contact with Dao Xingyun, but he had seen that mark by chance.
Previously, the Second Hallmaster felt that the mark was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Later, he thought of the Seventh Hallmaster, Dao Xingyun, but he was not sure. He could only find an excuse to visit Dao Xingyun, and finally confirmed it.
The Second Hallmaster exposed the answer, and the atmosphere in the secret room became more oppressive.
The Lord Hallmaster's face became gloomier, and his eyes became sharper.
He stared at the Second Hallmaster and asked in a low voice, "So, what do you want to say and do?"
Seeing the Lord Hallmaster's expression and reaction, the Second Hallmaster understood.
It was just as he had guessed.
In fact, when he first took the communication jade slip to report the missing people to the Lord Hallmaster and showed him the mark, the Lord Hallmaster already knew who the owner of the mark was.
However, the Lord Hallmaster was deliberately protecting the Seventh Hallmaster, Dao Xingyun.
At that time, the Second Hallmaster wanted to ask clearly, but the Lord Hallmaster stopped him. He only asked him to send a few Hallmasters to catch the murderer, and then sent him away.
However, no one expected that the three Hallmasters would not only fail to catch the murderer, but also let the situation escalate to this point.
Now, for the sake of the overall situation, the Second Hallmaster could only tell the Lord Hallmaster the answer he found from his investigation.
"Lord Hallmaster, although we did not catch the murderer and did not communicate with him, the Dao Xingyun left the mark every time.
But every time the murderer left behind a nebula insignia, it was definitely a hint, or a provocation!
This means that the murderer came prepared and deliberately targeted Dao Xingyun. That's why he left his emblem every time. "
Hearing the Second Palace Master's explanation, the First Palace Master asked expressionlessly, "And then?"
The Second Palace Master had a headache. He guessed that the First Palace Master would be angry, but he could only brace himself and continue, "Actually, we all understand the killer's intention. He wants to force the Seventh Palace Master, Dao Xingyun, to show himself. If Dao Xingyun continues to avoid him, the killer will continue to cause trouble and kidnap more people!
And we don't have any clues at all. It's really too difficult to catch the murderer. "
Since the Second Palace Master had put it this way, the First Palace Master could not continue to pretend that he did not understand. He could only ask with a sullen face, "What? Do you mean that if we hand over the Dao Xingyun to the murderer, he won't kidnap people anymore? "
The Second Palace Master hurriedly waved his hand. "Lord Palace Master, you've misunderstood. Of course, I didn't mean that!"
The First Palace Master said expressionlessly, "Then you want to send Dao Xingyun to the South to search for the murderer with the other three Palace Masters.
In other words, you're sending Dao Xingyun to his death! "
The Second Palace Master shook his head and explained, "Lord Palace Master, how can this be called sending him to his death?
Since Dao Xingyun is the Palace Master of this Palace Master, he should step forward bravely to solve the problem for this Palace Master when there are criminals causing trouble and kidnapping people in our territory.
Moreover, the murderer's strength and realm may not be higher than Dao Xingyun's.
With the help of the three Palace Masters, Dao Xingyun has a great chance to catch the murderer and make a great contribution.
I think this is a good plan that can be carried out.
If Dao Xingyun wants to blame me, he can only blame me for this plan of using him as bait to lure the murderer into the net. "
The First Palace Master glanced at him and did not express his opinion on the spot. He only said coldly, "You can leave now. We'll discuss this another day."
Obviously, the First Palace Master wanted to stall for time and figure out the situation first.
The Second Palace Master was unwilling, but he could not do anything. He also knew that this matter could not be rushed. He needed to give the First Palace Master some time to consider, so he could only bow and take his leave.
…
Coincidentally, when the Second Palace Master returned to his residence, a guard came to report that the Third Palace Master had been waiting in the living room for a long time.
The Second Palace Master frowned. He thought, "Isn't the Third Palace Master in seclusion? Why did he suddenly visit in the middle of the night? "
No matter what, the Third Palace Master must have something important to tell him.
Therefore, the Second Palace Master turned and rushed to the living room.
When he entered the living room, the Third Palace Master had already finished his cup of tea.
After the two of them met, they exchanged a few simple greetings before the Third Palace Master went straight to the point and stated his intentions.
"Second Palace Master, you sent the three Palace Masters to the South to search for the murderer. It has been two months. How's the progress?
I heard that the situation in the South is getting more and more chaotic, and the people are anxious … "
The Third Palace Master spent most of his time cultivating in seclusion in the secret room. However, he was also responsible for gathering troops and preparing for the expedition to the Chaos Sea in 20 years.
In the process of gathering troops, he also received a lot of news and heard about the chaotic situation in the South.
"We can't go on like this. I heard that many people are planning to flee to the North. The normal defense of many branches and towns has been affected.
Do you have any plan to catch the murderer as soon as possible? "
The Third Palace Master asked with concern. His words revealed his worry and anxiety.
The Second Palace Master looked at him and asked solemnly, "Why? Are you also worried about this? "
"Of course." The Third Palace Master nodded without hesitation and said earnestly, "The Divine Hall has been peaceful for so many years. Now that something like this has happened, of course I hope it can be resolved as soon as possible and restore peace.
As long as you can come up with a good plan, I can go south at any time to support the three of them. "
Seeing that the Third Palace Master was so worried and even wanted to go south at any time to support the three Palace Masters, the Second Palace Master recalled the attitudes of the First Palace Master and the Seventh Palace Master. He could not help but be a little absent-minded.
Seeing that the Second Palace Master did not speak for a long time, the Third Palace Master could not help but ask, "Second Palace Master, what's wrong? Do you have a good plan? "
The Second Palace Master came back to his senses. After hesitating and deliberating for a moment, he lowered his voice and explained, "Actually, I have a plan, and I have already reported it to the First Palace Master tonight.
However, the First Palace Master still needs some time to think about it. I don't know when he will give his approval. "
The Third Palace Master was stunned for a moment and quickly asked, "What plan? Why didn't the First Palace Master agree? "
The Second Palace Master explained again, "I believe you have heard that every time the murderer committed a crime, he would leave a mysterious mark at the scene.
After investigating, I finally found out the origin of the mark … It was the emblem of the Seventh Palace Master, Dao Xingyun! "
The Third Palace Master suddenly understood and said in shock, "Dao Xingyun's emblem? That is to say, the murderer came for Dao Xingyun?
Sure enough, we were right. We followed in the footsteps of the Shang Qing Temple and the Kongming Temple. Dao Xingyun really brought us trouble! "
