One had to know that people had just died in this room. Fifty people had died. Although the pile of corpses and blood had been cleaned up, it was still terrifying. No one wanted to go in at all.
However, Du Feng strolled into the room and touched the furniture with his hands. He even smelled the air on purpose. If he guessed correctly, it should be the furniture made of peach wood. Pink peach blossoms were more common, but pink peach wood was rare.
Young peach trees were usually light yellow in color. Only the aged peach wood would turn an uneven pink color. Such a uniform shade of pink meant that the peach tree used as the material was quite old.
Clang … Clang …
Du Feng pulled the drawers one by one, but none of them could be pulled out. He still did not give up and searched the bed in the boudoir.
Huh? He really found something. There was a small ornament tied to the bed curtain. It was a small peach wood sword. It was only the size of an ordinary person's little finger and was dark red. If an ordinary person saw this thing, they would definitely think that it was an ornament and would not take it to heart.
However, Du Feng had a lot of experience searching for treasures in secret realms. The more inconspicuous something was, the more likely it was to be a great treasure. Therefore, he reached out and pulled the peach wood sword down.
Clang!
As soon as the peach wood sword was pulled down, the door suddenly closed automatically.
Damn. Du Feng turned around as fast as he could. At the same time, he had already pulled out the Dragon Riding Sword. The Blood Breaking Flying Sword responded and flew out, spinning rapidly around his body. What a joke. One had to know that fifty people had just died in this room.
Now that the door had been inexplicably closed, there must be a problem. Maybe the adjudicator had never left and had been hiding in the room.
Just as Du Feng was about to fight, the door was pushed open again. A person poked his head in and greeted Du Feng.
"Sorry, my hand slipped."
It turned out to be the door of Fu Nie Pass. He came out of the room and saw everyone gathered here, so he came to join in the fun. His hand slipped and he didn't know how he closed the door. When he heard that there was someone inside, he quickly opened it again.
"It's okay. I'm going out anyway. Do you still want to come in and take a look?"
Slippery hand, only a ghost would believe that his hand slipped. Du Feng was not a three-year-old child. With Fu Nie's strength, how could his hand slip? However, both families were polite and did not expose each other.
"There's no need. There's nothing good in there anyway."
Fu Nie faintly smiled and gave Du Feng a meaningful look. Du Feng also smiled faintly and looked at Fu Nie with a look that said 'I understand'. Indeed, there was nothing good inside, because he had already taken all the good stuff. The Adjudicators had probably rummaged through the room before, but they had missed out on that inconspicuous corner of the bed curtain.
By the time Fu Nie wanted to come over, everyone was already there. Seeing that everyone from the Fu Family was present, he pretended that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Du Feng was now certain that Fu Nie knew Nie Ji's identity. As for whether or not Fu Nie was a member of the Adjudicators, this question still needed to be investigated further.
"Brother Du, I just remembered something."
Fu Xi secretly communicated with Du Feng through voice transmission.
"Let's go and take a look at the next room."
Du Feng was not in a hurry to find out what was going on. Instead, he called Fu Xi and Jian Huang to the next room. Because a large number of martial artists had been killed, there were still many rooms that had not been opened. It was better to take this opportunity to see if there were any treasures left in the room.
"I suspect that Fu Nie is participating in the Adjudicator's assessment."
After entering a new room, Fu Xi closed the door and could no longer hold it in. He had to talk about this problem because it was very important. He had been an Adjudicator before, and he was the Fire Emissary of the Adjudicators. To put it bluntly, he was the executor of execution by fire.
The sixth crime set by the Adjudicators was the crime of lust. Lustful people would be burned by fire. Fu Nie was a member of the Fu Clan of Hearthstone City and was more proficient in fire spells. The position he was currently taking was most likely the position of the Fuxi back then.
Why was he being assessed and not an official Adjudicator? Because Adjudicators usually acted alone, and it was rare for the three of them to appear in the same place.
Then it was possible that Nie Ji was the real Adjudicator, and Fu Nie was a student preparing to join the Adjudicators and was currently participating in the assessment. Of course, even a real Adjudicator would not necessarily do anything to their family and friends. After all, Fu Xi did not do anything to Du Feng back then. Not only did he not do anything to him, but he even helped him forge a Fire Dragon Sword.
Now, whether Fu Xi was a member of the Adjudicators or a student participating in the assessment, it was impossible to tell if he would do anything to everyone. From the looks of it, the one who was the most ruthless was the Adjudicator who exploded the stomachs of 50 people.
Thinking about it carefully, Nie Ji's poisonous snake did not seem to have killed anyone and only scared everyone. Even Fu Biao's follower was eaten by a strange worm. Could she be a student participating in the assessment? If she was, who else would be participating in the assessment?
With suspicion, Du Feng rummaged through the room. This room was a pharmacy, and in theory, there should be one or two bottles of elixirs left behind. Even if there were not one or two bottles, one or two pills would be fine. But after searching through all the shelves, there was not even a scrap of elixir.
"It might have been taken away by the Adjudicators!"
Fuxi came to the conclusion that this room had been searched by the Adjudicators. Unless it was in a very hidden corner, the treasures here would not be able to escape their demonic claws.
"En, I think so too."
When Jian Huang was in the Lower Realm, he also knew about the Adjudicators. However, he was the number one expert in the Lower Realm at that time and did not care much about the Adjudicators. It was just an organization that killed people everywhere. To pin a crime on someone and then kill them, did they not know that they had also committed the crime of killing?
Actually, Jian Huang was really wrong. The Adjudicators' crime was called a psychological crime, and it was a psychological crime, not an action.
Killing was something that had actually happened, and it was called an action, not a psychological crime. Like gluttony, lust, laziness, jealousy … in theory, they were not crimes that would cause harm to people. However, it was this psychological crime that became the reason for them to punish the people of the world.
