"What the hell is going on? Where is Daoist Qing Lan? "Zhao Hai looked at Xu Yanzi and asked in a deep voice.
Xu Yanzi said with a sad face, "Master is dead. Xu Ningzi and the other four senior brothers are all dead. They were poisoned to death."
"What? How is this possible? Who would poison them? Where are their bodies? Where are their bodies? Take me to see them. " Zhao Hai looked at Xu Yanzi with a surprised face. Xu Yanzi nodded and led Zhao Hai to the Green Mist Sect. At this time, Zhao Hai also saw that the Green Mist Sect was now completely on guard. Except for the transmission array that he used, the other transmission arrays were all sealed. There were also many disciples in the sect who were on guard. However, they all had a sad face. After all, the Green Mist Sect was established by Daoist Qing Lan. They were all disciples of Qing Lan. It was reasonable for them to have such an expression.
The group soon arrived at the main hall of the Green Mist Sect. Now, the bodies of Daoist Qing Lan and the others had been placed in coffins by Xu Yanzi and the others. The coffins were placed in the main hall of the Green Mist Sect.
Zhao Hai glanced at the bodies of Qing Lan and the others. There was nothing special about their bodies. Aside from the fact that their faces were pale and lifeless, there was nothing special about them. They didn't look like they were poisoned at all.
Zhao Hai certainly knew what kind of poison was in Qing Lan's body. It was a kind of poison that he refined. This was the first time he used it. To be honest, Zhao Hai really didn't want to deal with Daoist Qing Lan. However, there was no other way. If Daoist Qing Lan wanted to deal with him, then he had to deal with Daoist Qing Lan.
Zhao Hai looked at Daoist Qing Lan's body and frowned, "It's a bit strange. He doesn't look like he was poisoned at all. How can you be sure that he was poisoned to death?"
Xu Yanzi said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Jian, just look at Master's fingernails and you'll know. Just look at their fingernails and toenails and you'll understand what's going on."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at Daoist Priest Qing Lan's fingernails and toenails. Actually, he already knew what was on those fingernails. But when he saw them, he couldn't help but be surprised. On Qing Lan's fingernails and toenails, there were small black skulls. These skulls were pure black, and they were only in the middle of the fingernails. They didn't look very scary. If this was on Earth, people would think that they were manicured. But in the Sword Spirit World, this was a strange poison that no one had ever seen before.
Zhao Hai frowned, "What kind of poison is this? Never heard of it? Are the others the same? "
Xu Yanzi nodded and said, "Yes, the bodies of the other senior brothers are the same. We've never heard of this poison. We don't know what kind of poison it is. The most important thing is that we still don't know how Master and the others were poisoned and who poisoned them."
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "After discovering that the Daoists were poisoned, did anyone leave the Qinglan Sect? Did you check where they were staying or what they had eaten? Did they drink water? "
Xu Yanzi said in a deep voice, "We've already checked everything, but we didn't find anything. We've also checked what Senior Brother and the others ate and drank. We even tested it on some wild beasts, but we didn't find any signs of poisoning. This is also the strangest part."
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "Then what do you plan to do now? The Qinglan Sect is like a group of dragons without a leader. The most important thing is that your Daoist Qing Lan is the leader of the Exploration Sea Alliance. If people know that something like this happened to the Qinglan Sect, it's definitely not a good thing. At the very least, you won't be able to keep your position as the leader of the Exploration Sea Alliance. As for the culprit, did the Daoist Qing Lan come into contact with anyone recently? "
Xu Yanzi said, "Yes, Master has secretly met with some people recently. We don't know who these people are. Generally, Senior Brother Xu Ningzi would personally receive them. Every time, these people would have a secret talk with Master. After that, they would immediately leave. Aside from Master and the other senior brothers, they wouldn't come in contact with anyone else. Therefore, we don't know who these people are. Therefore, I suspect that Master's death might be related to them."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's possible. But if you want to track down those people, I'm afraid it won't be easy. I think you should first choose a Sect Master to preside over the overall situation of the Greenmist Sect. Otherwise, the Greenmist Sect would be finished. As for the matter of finding the culprit, I think it's better to wait until after the Sect is stabilized before looking for the culprit. Otherwise, you would be in a mess right now, there would be no way to find the culprit. Moreover, you need to choose a Sect Master as soon as possible. If too many Sects know about this matter, then you would have trouble."
Zhao Hai certainly knew where the people who came in contact with Qinglan had gone. Those who escaped from the Jianyu Sect were now dead. They had disappeared forever. Zhao Hai had already used the Corpse Dissolving Powder to turn them into clear water.
Naturally, it was impossible for Zhao Hai to make all of these people stay. If he did, then it would be even more troublesome. If these people suddenly shouted that they were going to deal with the Sword Imperial Sect, then Zhao Hai would be suspicious. Although Zhao Hai could say that these people were just talking nonsense, if they really wanted to use these people, then it would be very troublesome. Zhao Hai didn't say anything.
Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't have any intention of keeping them. He directly killed them so that no one could find them. This was the safest way.
Xu Yanzi smiled bitterly and then said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Jian, this time we invited you here because we have something to tell you. To tell you the truth, although our sect still has some experts, there aren't many of them left. In addition, our master has passed away. None of us can handle this situation. So we mean to ask you to make more decisions for the Green Mist Sect in the future."
When Zhao Hai heard Xu Yanzi, he couldn't help but stare. Then he couldn't help but frown and said, "What do you mean? If you really do this, then wouldn't others say that the death of Daoist Master Qinglan has something to do with me? Because I'm the one who benefits the most from this matter. "
Xu Yanzi smiled bitterly and said, "Sect Lord Jian, it's not that we want to rely on you, but there's no other way. With Master's death, our Sect can be said to be a group of dragons without a leader. The Sect's property is here. To be honest, with your strength, do you think we can defend it? There's no one who can call the shots. We can't stop those guys. Sooner or later, the Green Mist Sect will be swallowed by them, so we have no other choice. "
Zhao Hai looked at Xu Yanzi and said, "Are you serious? Have you discussed this matter with the others? "
Xu Yanzi said, "I'm serious. I've also discussed it with the others. We've all agreed that this is the most appropriate thing to do."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Let me think about this matter. What I'm thinking about right now is whether or not you all wish to know exactly what sort of poison Daoist Master Qinglan and the others were afflicted with. If you all wish to know, I can appear and ask the representatives of the various sects in the Cyanwood Mountain to come and take a look."
Xu Yanzi thought for a moment and then said, "Let us discuss this. Right now, we are also unable to make a decision. However, I still wish to know what sort of poison Master Qinglan and the others were afflicted with. However, if we do that, we might let others know that Master Qinglan and the others have died. If this news were to spread, I fear that some sort of chaos would occur."
Zhao Hai said with a deep voice, "What sort of chaos could possibly occur? As long as you all are united, nothing will happen. Furthermore, the news of Daoist Master Qinglan and the others' deaths cannot be hidden forever. Most importantly, who were the people that came in contact with Daoist Master Qinglan and the others? This is something that we must know. Furthermore, it would be best to know what sort of poison Daoist Master Qinglan and the others were afflicted with. Otherwise, if this matter were to happen to other sects, it would be even more troublesome."
Hearing what Zhao Hai said, Xu Yanzi thought for a moment and then nodded. He said, "Very well. In that case, I'll have to trouble Sect Master Jianyuzong. If there are truly other sects that wish to cause trouble for us, then Sect Master Jianyuzong, please speak a few words for us. As for how our Cyanwood Mist Sect should proceed in the future, we are truly unable to say for sure. This matter has happened too suddenly. Right now, we are all in a mess and do not know what to do."
Zhao Hai sighed. With a deep voice, he said, "Helping you all is not a problem. However, you all must be careful yourselves. If something truly happens, there is no problem for you all to come and find me. Furthermore, pass on Daoist Master Qinglan's teachings and teachings. We cannot allow Daoist Master Qinglan's several tens of years of painstaking effort to be wasted. I will be going to the Cyanwood Mountain right now. If anything happens here, you all can directly contact Sect Master Jianyuzong.
When I arrive, I will be there. "Xu Yanzi thanked Zhao Hai. In a deep voice, Zhao Hai said," Properly protect Daoist Master Qinglan and the others' remains. For the next couple days, seal the sect's Teleportation Formation. Furthermore, gather all of the people in charge of your sect and discuss your future together. To you all, this is the most important thing. I will be going to the Cyanwood Mountain right now. Remember, make sure that the Cyanwood Mist Sect does not fall into chaos. As long as the Cyanwood Mist Sect does not fall into chaos, regardless of what you all do in the future, the initiative will still be with you all.
Xu Yanzi nodded. With a deep voice, he said, "Yes. Sect Master Jian, please rest assured. We will definitely be careful. In fact, the people in the sect have all received the news. It should be about time for them to return."
Zhao Hai nodded. He did not say anything else. He led Ding Chunming and the others onto the Teleportation Formation and directly left the Cyanwood Mist Sect. Of course, Zhao Hai wanted to swallow the Cyanwood Mist Sect whole. However, he could not be too unsightly. He still had to do what he needed to do. If the Cyanwood Mist Sect did not rely on him in the end, then he would think of other methods. If the Cyanwood Mist Sect were to rely on someone else, then he would think of a way to take care of them. However, if they wanted to develop on their own, to be honest, Zhao Hai was not optimistic about them.
In the Cyanwood Mist Sect, the strongest person was of course Daoist Qinglan. The others were Xu Ningzhi and the other four. It could be said that these six people were the pillars of the Cyanwood Mist Sect. However, these six people were all dead now. Although there were still some core disciples in the Cyanwood Mist Sect, there was no way these core disciples could be compared with Xu Ningzhi and the others in terms of strength and status. It was almost impossible for them to develop on their own without relying on Zhao Hai or relying on outsiders. Other people would not give them this opportunity.
This was also the tragedy of ordinary small sects, especially a small sect like the Cyanwood Mist Sect that was established by a powerful cultivator. If he encountered an accident and did not cultivate a successor, then their sect would be in danger. It could be said that their destruction would be imminent.
Originally, Zhao Hai did not plan to use this sort of method to take care of the Cyanwood Mist Sect. However, since the Cyanwood Mist Sect wanted to take care of him, he had no choice but to take action. Now, it all depended on what the Cyanwood Mist Sect would choose to do next. If the Cyanwood Mist Sect were to truly rely on him, then he would allow the people of the Cyanwood Mist Sect to retain their inheritance in the Tide-watching Gang. However, he would definitely take complete control of the Cyanwood Mist Sect at the very first moment. He would not give them too much autonomy. That was because Zhao Hai knew very well that his current strength was still too weak. There were many powerful sects in the Sword Spirit World. If those sects were to one day incite the Cyanwood Mist Sect, then it would be very possible for a rebellion to occur. This was something that Zhao Hai absolutely could not accept.
However, right now, Zhao Hai still decided to go to the Cyanwood Mountain and ask the representatives of the various sects there to take a look. Of course, he did not believe that those people would know what sort of poison he had used. That was because this sort of poison was not as simple as a poison from a magic technique. It also contained some curse techniques. Those people would definitely not be able to discover what sort of poison he had used. Even the Poison Dragon Sect would not be able to know.
On top of that, the greatest suspects in this matter were those people that had escaped from the Jianyu Sect. Furthermore, they had all been killed by Zhao Hai. It could be said that this matter would definitely become an unsolved case. As for whether or not anyone would suspect him, Zhao Hai believed that they would not. That was because no one knew that the Qinglan Sect was planning to take care of Zhao Hai. To others, the Jianyu Sect and the Qinglan Sect were two sects with a very good relationship. Thus, no one would suspect him. Even if someone were to suspect the Profound Heaven Sect, the Southern Sea's Seventy-two Islands or even the Poison Dragon Sect, they would definitely not suspect him. Thus, Zhao Hai was not worried about this matter.
Soon, Zhao Hai arrived at the Cyanwood Mountain. The current Cyanwood Mountain was extremely lively. There were rows upon rows of shops. There were people all over the streets. There was also the Free Market. It was even more lively. Every day, there would be a sea of people in that place. It was extremely lively.
Zhao Hai soon arrived at the Jianyu Sect's branch in the Cyanwood Mountain. There were a thousand people in this branch. These thousand people were all inner court disciples. There were also a hundred core disciples. These core disciples were all capable of flying. Their main purpose was to maintain order in the Cyanwood Mountain. Furthermore, these core disciples would not stay in the Cyanwood Mountain all the time. The rule that Zhao Hai had set was that the core disciples would be rotated once a year. That way, the disciples would be able to train themselves without missing their rest and training.
Of course, Zhao Hai paid great attention to this place. As long as there were any signs of trouble in this place, he would immediately rush over. Even if he was unable to rush over, Ding Chunming and the others would immediately rush over and activate the Spirit Formation at the same time. They absolutely could not allow any accidents to happen in this place.
