Who is so bold to kill so many city lords? Qin Yuetian was also angry.
Although these cities were under the control of the various city lords, in reality, these cities were all under the influence of the dynasty. Even if ordinary cultivators didn't know who was behind the City Lord's Mansion, they should know that not everyone dared to offend the City Lord's Mansion.
But now, the city lords of several cities had been killed. This was simply a provocation
"Sir, all the cities that have been attacked have sealed their gates, hoping to find the culprits!" General Fang Guo said.
Are you sure those murderers are wearing black robes? The guard asked.
Yes, we also saw the murderers that night, but they were too strong and too fast. After killing the city lord, they disappeared in an instant, so we sealed the city gates
"Since the city masters have been killed for almost half a month, it means that the murderer has already left the city. What's the point of them sealing the city gates?" the guard said. "What's the point of sealing the city gates?" the guard asked. "That's right.
According to the information we received, there should be more than one of these black-robed people, so they might still be in the city
More than one?
Yes, because several city lords were killed at almost the same time, it is absolutely impossible for one person to do it. Fang Guo explained.
Young master, do you think these black-robed people are those people? The burly man beside Qin Yuetian said.
Although he was injured by Cheng Yu, after these days of recovery, he had almost recovered.
Those people? Qin Yuetian was puzzled.
It's that mysterious force called the Holy Dynasty. Aren't their people always wearing black robes? "Bai Dazhu reminded.
That's possible Qin Yuetian nodded.
This time, they suspected that Cheng Yu was related to this mysterious Holy Dynasty, but they didn't have any evidence because they only knew that when those mysterious black-robed people appeared in those foreign dynasties, Cheng Yu and the others also happened to appear there.
Moreover, they had already been gone for nearly half a month. After such a long time, they were already tens of thousands of miles away from the secular world.
Especially since these things happened half a month ago, they might still be in the secular world at that time.
If Cheng Yu was really someone from the Holy Dynasty, it should be impossible for him to instruct all these people to attack the Holy Dynasty from so far away.
Therefore, he was even more certain that Cheng Yu had nothing to do with the Holy Dynasty. This way, it would be easier for him to report back. As long as the news of the battle didn't spread out, no one would know that he had lost to Cheng Yu.
"Young Master, should we take care of this matter?" Bai Dazhu asked.
"This happened half a month ago. How do you think we can handle it with just the few of us? Which Outer Dynasty does Kaiyuan City belong to? "Qin Yuetian asked.
"As far as I know, Kaiyuan City and the nearby cities are under the jurisdiction of Azure Sky Dynasty. Does Young Master intend to pass on this matter to Azure Sky Dynasty?" Big Pillar asked.
"That's right, this is under his jurisdiction. If we interfere, the Azure Heavenly Monarch will misunderstand and think that we're ordering him around!" Qin Yuetian explained.
"That's true. In that case, should we change our route to the Azure Sky Outer Dynasty's encampment first?"
"Mm, let's go take a look and see if they have any news about those black-robed men" Qin Yuetian nodded.
Although in his opinion, the Holy Dynasty might have nothing to do with Cheng Yu, he still had to figure out what kind of power the Holy Dynasty was.
This time, he came to the secular world to look for Cheng Yu because of the Holy Dynasty.
If they could investigate the situation of the Holy Dynasty, it wouldn't be considered as a mission failure. It could even be said that they had made a great contribution.
Since these black-robed men had appeared here, this was simply the best opportunity for him
However, in the following period of time, they heard news about the black-robed man killing various City Lords. This caused many City Lords to feel anxious, and they did not even dare to go out. Moreover, they began to wantonly recruit talents in their cities.
However, even if some family heads recruited a large number of Great Ascension Stage experts to protect them, these city lords were still killed. Even the recruited Great Ascension Stage cultivators were killed.
After such news spread, the forces who originally wanted to compete for the position of City Lord no longer had this idea. Even if the City Lord was killed, they didn't dare to think about the position of City Lord anymore.
Even when the City Lords of other places sent out recruitment notices, no one dared to go. Even if the City Lord offered a tempting reward, no one dared to accept such a mission. After all, no matter how tempting the reward was, it wasn't as important as their lives.
Especially after the few things that happened later, Qin Yuetian and the others no longer had any doubts. Because after they killed the City Lord, they would leave the word 'Holy Dynasty'
"Young Master, this Holy Dynasty is too arrogant. They only killed City Lords. This is clearly targeting our Dynasty" Da Zhu said angrily when he heard that City Lords were killed one after another.
"Is there a need to say that? Listen to their name, Holy Dynasty. This is clearly to oppose our Dynasty" Another guard, Qi Lin, said.
However, Qin Yuetian didn't say anything, which made the guards around him very puzzled.
"Young Master, what are you thinking about?" Da Zhu asked.
"I'm thinking that there are several cities nearby, such as South Jin City, Yishui City, Yueyi City, Yunxi City, and dozens of other cities. But why were only a few of the City Lords killed?
More importantly, the cities where the City Lords were killed don't have any pattern. Look, Kaiyuan City is here, Yueyi City is here, and Yishui City is here. They aren't adjacent to each other.
And from the information we received these days, these City Lords even had conflicts.
Why didn't they kill the City Lords of the neighboring cities as well? And why did they kill so far away from each other?
But look at the situation here. There are a few City Lords of neighboring cities that have been killed. So what is the pattern of the Holy Dynasty's killing? " Qin Yuetian said as he took out the map of Azure Sky Outer Dynasty and pointed it out to everyone.
"Young Master, I think this is a very normal thing. Think about it, if there is a pattern to follow, then wouldn't the other City Lords be prepared in advance?
But with this kind of irregular killing method, they will never be able to guess who will die next! "Qi Lin said.
"I don't think so?" Qin Yuetian was very confused.
These days, they also hoped that they would have the chance to meet those mysterious black-robed people in some of the cities.
However, they had only heard that the City Lords of other cities had been killed. They had never found out that the City Lords of their own cities had been killed. Those black-robed people seemed to know of their existence.
The closest they had been to the black-robed people was in Xilan City. When they arrived at Xilan City, it just happened to be when something happened to the city. However, when they rushed to the City Lord's Mansion, other than a group of dead people, there was no trace of the black-robed people. This made him very disappointed.
Therefore, every time he received news of a City Lord being killed, he would mark it on the map of Azure Sky Outer Dynasty. However, he still couldn't find any pattern.
"Young Master, I feel that this Sacred Dynasty is simply too cunning. They are deliberately using this method to confuse us. Their goal is to make it so that we will never be able to find them." Qi Lin said.
"But if we don't know who their next target is, we will never know where they will appear. This way, it will be impossible to catch them!" Qin Yuetian said unwillingly.
"Young Master, I might have found something, but I don't know if it can be considered a clue!" At this time, the other guard, Lu Kang, said.
"Oh? What did you find? Tell me quickly! "Qin Yuetian said anxiously.
"It's like this. Actually, when we passed by so many cities, especially when we passed by the cities where the City Lords were killed, we would always hear some people discussing in the city." Lu Kang said.
"Discussion? What discussion? "Everyone was puzzled.
"The people in the city seem to be quite happy that these City Lords were killed! Although I don't know if all City Lords are like this, but some City Lords seem to have done a lot of evil in the city. Young Master, I wonder if this counts as a clue? "Lu Kang said.
"So you mean that the reason why these City Lords were killed is because they did evil in the city?" Qin Yuetian said with a frown.
"Young Master, I'm just guessing. As for the truth, I don't know!" Lu Kang said nervously.
"En, your guess is not without reason, but it's not difficult to verify your guess. However, it won't be difficult to verify your guess. Next, we'll go to the cities where the City Lords were killed and see if it's really as you say, that these City Lords are evil people, "Qin Yuetian said.
"Yes!" Lu Kang's heart relaxed. It seemed that the young master also recognized him.
Thus, in the following time, they were not in a hurry to go to the Azure Sky Outer Dynasty's encampment. Instead, they took a detour to several cities where the City Lords were killed. In the end, they really verified Lu Kang's guess.
Just as he said, all the City Lords who were killed had a common characteristic, and that was that they were unpopular in the city.
"Young Master, if that's the case, then these black-robed people can't be considered bad people. They are helping the common people eliminate evil!" Someone said.
"Eliminate evil? But this is our dynasty's territory, why do we need their Holy Dynasty to interfere? They clearly want to replace us! "Big Zhu said.
"Young Master, do you think those black-robed people are just a cover? In fact, those City Lords were killed by their own people in the city? Otherwise, why would those people tell us that they are from the Holy Dynasty after killing them? Isn't this deliberately exposing themselves? "Lu Kang said again.
