They looked around but couldn't find any clues. Back then, that person had acted very decisively. Even if he had left behind some clues, they had still been found by those who had come before him.
"Looks like we won't be able to see anything. We can't bury so many people one by one. Just burn it. "Sima Youyue said.
"Miss, these people's clothes are all from the Azure Dragon Clan. I think we should inform the Azure Dragon Clan to come and collect the corpses." An Lei reminded.
She was more familiar with this place and knew what to do.
"Alright then." Sima Youyue said, "Let's get the scarlet bees to inform them, we'll continue on our way."
"Aren't you going to investigate the demon sword?" An Lei asked.
"We don't have a clue about the demon sword and it happened more than ten days ago. We don't have any clues so staying here won't do us any good." Sima Youyue said, "Although I really want to solve this problem, I won't rush blindly."
"You're right. If we encounter it, we can continue to investigate. If we don't have any clues, continuing to persist is a waste of time. "Sima Liu Xuan agreed with her idea.
Previously, he was worried that she would dig her way into a dead end, but now he was relieved.
"Someone's coming." Sima Youyue said, "There are a lot of them, we can't face them head-on, let's hide first."
After saying that, she brought Sima Liu Xuan and An Lei into the Spirit Pagoda and observed the situation outside through the Spirit Pagoda.
"Miss, they're from the Azure Dragon Clan." An Lei reminded when she saw the people flying over.
Sima Youyue noticed that these people were wearing the same clothes as the people on the ground. They were wearing navy blue robes with their hair tied up in a high ponytail. The purple-gold belt made them look very energetic.
"Eldest Senior Brother, it really is the missing brothers."
"Who killed them?!"
When the people of the Azure Dragon School saw the corpses of their fellow disciples scattered all over the valley, their eyes turned red and they were very angry.
"It seems that the person who sent us the message was right. They were all killed by the Heaven Splitter Devil Sword." The person who was addressed as Eldest Senior Brother observed the corpses and noticed that they were different from ordinary corpses.
He looked around again and said with a frown, "Strange."
A woman walked up to her and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"When we arrived here, I clearly sensed someone's aura. Our speed was so fast, but the other party actually disappeared. "Eldest Senior Brother said.
"Could it be an illusion?"
Eldest Senior Brother looked around again. Indeed, there was no one.
"Perhaps. Otherwise, they would have escaped. " He instructed his fellow disciples, "Check their tokens and see which peak they belong to. Once you're done, bury their bodies on the spot."
"Yes, Senior Brother."
Sima You Yue and the other two watched from the Spirit Pagoda as the people outside rummaged through the corpses to register them. After that, they recorded their identities and took their things. Finally, they dug a huge hole and buried all the corpses together.
After everything was settled, they all left. An Lei said that those people could leave now, but Sima Youyue waited for a while longer.
A few minutes later, those people came back. Seeing the empty valley, Eldest Senior Brother's eyebrows were still furrowed.
"Why do I feel like someone is watching us? Was it really just my imagination? "He muttered to himself before leaving with his men.
Sima Youyue waited for a while. After confirming that they had really left, she came out of the spirit pagoda.
"That person is really sensitive." Sima Liu Xuan sighed.
"I know that Eldest Senior Brother. He's a core disciple of the Azure Dragon Clan. It's said that he's very talented and meticulous. He's also very capable. He's being nurtured as the next leader." An Lei said.
"Since they've already buried them, we don't have to care about them. Let's go to Eastern Lai Clan."
After walking for a while, they arrived at a sea area. Eastern Lai Clan was on an island in the middle of the sea area.
An Lei brought them to a small town by the sea. From an outsider's point of view, this small town was no different from the others. There were fishing nets everywhere, and there were pickled dried fish.
"This is the entrance to Eastern Lai Clan?" Sima Youyue looked at the small town and said with some surprise.
Wasn't this too different from Xuan Qiu Clan and Northern Du Clan?
"Outsiders can only enter through the teleportation array here." An Lei said, "Eastern Lai Clan's people can't. But if we go in like that, we might be killed as invaders before we even get close. "
"I really didn't expect that Eastern Lai Clan would hide behind such an inconspicuous small town." Sima Youyue sighed, "Then what should we do next?"
"Go find the mayor and let him contact the island. He'll only open the teleportation array for us if they agree." An Lei said.
"You should know where the teleportation array is, right? Why can't we go by ourselves? "Sima Youyue asked.
"For the safety of the clan, this teleportation array is specially made. Only the mayor's spiritual energy can open it. He's like a key. Only he can open it. "An Lei said.
"Others can't? What about Eastern Lai Clan? "
"I just said that the clansmen usually don't go through this path." An Lei said.
"…"
Alright, using a person as a key. This method was indeed quite safe. As long as the mayor was unwilling, no one could force their way through here. Even if they killed him, it would be the same.
"Let's go find the mayor." Sima Liu Xuan said.
An Lei brought them to the mayor's house. When the mayor got the news, he quickly came out of his house and personally welcomed them in.
"Miss Youyue, please take a seat." The mayor happily brought them to the living room. He wasn't surprised by their arrival.
"Thank you." Sima Youyue and Sima Liu Xuan sat down. An Lei stood behind Sima Youyue.
"An Lei, you've followed Miss Youyue. Look at you now. You're much more cheerful than before." The mayor said with a smile.
"Miss treats me very well." An Lei replied indifferently.
The mayor's words seemed to be very familiar with her, but An Lei's attitude was very calm. She didn't offend him, but she didn't get close to him either.
He didn't care about her in the past. What was there to say now?
"Mayor Eastern Lai, we're here today for something. We want to go to Eastern Lai Clan. I wonder if you can contact them?" Sima Youyue said directly.
"Hehe, the clan already knew that Miss Youyue came here. So they sent an order over. If you want to go to the island, there's no need to report. We'll send you there directly."
"No need to report? They already knew that we would come? "
"They didn't know. They just said that if you came, you can go there directly."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll harm you?"
"Hehe, my clan master said that Miss Youyue isn't that kind of person. Since you're in a hurry, I'll send you there now. "
