After some time, Lu Ming and the others returned to the entrance.
The others had also returned.
However, Lu Ming discovered that some people were still missing.
Six people were missing.
One of them was a first-level Divine Lord.
Everyone looked at each other, knowing what was going on.
Those missing people must have been killed by others while fighting over the divine weapon fragment.
However, no one said anything.
"We've finished exploring this place. Let's go!"
Qu Yi said.
Everyone nodded and left together, continuing onward.
Soon, ten-some days had passed. The fog descended once more, shrouding the ancient city in a thick fog.
This time, everyone was a lot bolder.
This was because they had already left the Celestial Race. There were no longer any Celestial Race cultivators in this region.
In the fog, the group once more distanced themselves from each other.
After the divine weapon fragment, everyone's minds became active once more.
If they could find such a treasure ground by themselves and not share it with others, wouldn't that be great?
Only Lu Ming's group of four and Dark Night Rose's group did not separate. Instead, they moved together.
Sure enough, before long, something happened.
Half a day after the fog had risen, several miserable screams resounded through the region.
Everyone was shocked and rushed over to take a look. In the end, they saw a corpse lying on the ground, no longer breathing.
A one-hit kill!
Just like before, it was a one-hit kill.
One of them was a first-level Divine Lord.
"Damn it! What's going on? Isn't there no Celestial Race cultivators in this region? How could someone be killed? "
Someone roared, on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"Was it done by one of our own?"
Someone asked.
Everyone's hearts immediately rose to their throats. Their figures flickered as they maintained their distance from the others.
Moreover, everyone was looking at the remaining Divine Lord experts, especially the three second-level Divine Lords.
It really was possible that one of them had done it.
There was an extremely high possibility that they had secretly killed others and seized their Natal Soul Origin Stone fragments.
And the most likely possibility was that the three second-level Divine Lords had done it.
Only they were capable of killing a first-layer Divine Lord in a single strike when their opponent was caught off guard.
It was very difficult for a first-level Divine Master to do so.
"Everyone, don't fall into their trap. Perhaps this is the Celestial Race's plan. They want us to be suspicious of each other and panic so that they can take advantage of us!"
Qu Yi shouted.
"Heavenly Human Tribe? Where was the Heavenly Human Tribe? We didn't encounter any Heavenly Humans along the way. "
Someone said.
"But the residual energy in their wounds is clearly the energy of the heavens. How do you explain that?"
Qu Yi said.
Everyone fell silent.
That's right, the remnant energy in these people's wounds was indeed the energy of the heavens. This point was undeniable.
As for the Heavenly Energy, only the people of the Heavenly Human Clan were capable of controlling it. The people of the other clans were unable to control it.
"Could it be … that the Heavenly Human Race really did it? He has mastered a terrifying concealment technique and is hiding in the dark to watch us? "
Someone said. His voice was trembling and filled with fear.
Hearing this, the others also felt a chill run down their spines. It was as if there was a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark, causing them to feel a chill down their spines.
Could it really be so? Was there a terrifying Heavenly Human Tribe elite watching them from the dark?
Or could it be that the murderer was one of them?
For a moment, it was difficult for everyone to tell who was real and who was fake. They only felt that there was danger everywhere around them.
"I think we'd better wait here and wait for the fog to recede. It won't be too late to take action then!"
A young man said. He and a few of his subordinates sat cross-legged on the spot and did not intend to leave.
Now, it was safer to stay where they were and keep a distance from the others. At the same time, they also looked around.
In this way, whether it was the Heavenly Human Tribe or their own people, they could be on guard.
"I also think that's the best way!"
"Let's wait for the fog to recede before we leave!"
The others also did the same. They sat where they were and kept a distance from the others. However, the distance was not that far. Once there was a movement, the others could immediately support them.
Lu Ming, Anye Rose, and the others looked at each other and also sat where they were.
The scene suddenly became extremely quiet.
"In my opinion, the murderer is among us!"
At that moment, Anye Rose spoke. However, she did not speak to everyone. Instead, she spoke to Lu Ming, Xie Nianqing, Di Jianyi, and the others.
Her voice was only heard by the two groups of people.
"Oh? How do you know? "
Wan Shen's eyes moved and he also sent a voice transmission.
"Lu Ming has checked before. Lu Ming, you should have found something, right?"
Anye Rose said.
Xie Nianqing, Autumn Moon, Wan Shen, Di Jianyi, Ling Heng, Yin Jiuling, Xiu Wuji, and the other three young men could not help but look at Lu Ming.
"That's right. I also think that the murderer is not from the Heavenly Human Tribe. He is among this group of people."
"Because … although there is residual Heaven's power in their wounds, there is also a trace of Death Qi in the residual Heaven's power. Although it is faint, it can be discovered if one observes carefully."
Lu Ming said and he continued to send a voice transmission.
Since he suspected that the murderer was among this group of people, he naturally could not let others hear it.
"Death Qi? What does this mean? "
Wan Shen asked.
However, there were a few people whose eyes lit up as though they had thought of something. For example, Xie Nianqing and Di Jianyi.
"Death Qi, it means that the owner of Heaven's power is dead. However, a dead person would not kill."
This time, it was Anye Rose who was alive.
Then, Wan Shen and the others who did not understand initially had their eyes lit up.
"I know. Someone made use of the dead Heavenly Human Tribe members to kill and steal the Vitality Stone fragments."
Wan Shen said.
"That's right. Although I don't know what means they used, this is probably the reason. Otherwise, even if they have some hidden means, they wouldn't be able to appear and disappear so stealthily that we did not notice at all. It could only be done by 'one of our own'. The other party's guard was lower and hence, they could kill in one blow!"
"The most likely culprits would be the three Second Heaven Divine Masters!"
Lu Ming said.
"What should we do next?"
Wan Shen asked.
"Get rid of this person. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to move about. We have many Vitality Stone fragments in our hands and will definitely be targeted by this person. Even if we leave now, this person will follow us and secretly ambush us."
This time, it was Anye Rose who spoke.
"Get rid of this person? The other party might be a Second Heaven Divine Master. To put it bluntly, even if all of us join forces, we might not be able to kill a Second Heaven Divine Master expert. "
Lu Ming said.
"Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible. However, if we plan carefully and work together with Xie Nianqing and I, it might not be impossible."
Anye Rose said.
