The old man was Elder Wu!
He happened to pass by and saw Guo Yun and Guo Feng gathering the disciples of the Scorpion Tribe. He realized that something was wrong and hurried to stop them.
Guo Yun and Guo Feng turned to look at Elder Wu.
"Elder, we don't want to do anything. We just want to go back and collect the corpses of our people."
"Yes, they are our closest relatives. Our parents are also here. We can't just let their corpses be exposed in the wilderness!"
Their eyes were bloodshot, and they were practically roaring out these words.
Elder Wu glanced at the two, then at the thousands of Scorpion Tribe members below.
In the end, he retracted his pressure and waved his hand. "Go, but remember, don't do anything rash."
"Thank you, Elder."
The thousands of people bowed in unison, then opened the portals and stepped in one after another.
"Sigh!"
Elder Wu sighed deeply as he stared at the departing figures before he continued to head deeper into the forest.
There were some things he had to understand.
A moment later.
He entered the Sacred Land and landed in front of the Chief Tower Master's courtyard. He bowed and said, "Wu Daping requests an audience with the Chief Tower Master."
"Come in!"
A calm voice could be heard coming from the pagoda.
Elder Wu pushed the door open and strode into the pavilion.
In the guest hall!
The Chief Tower Master leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed. There was a trace of worry between his brows.
"Greetings, Lord."
Elder Wu walked to the Chief Tower Master and bowed.
"Is there something you need from me?"
The Chief Tower Master asked without opening his eyes.
"I just heard that the Scorpion Tribe was wiped out last night. The culprit was the mysterious woman by Qin Feiyang's side. Is this true?"
Elder Wu asked respectfully.
The Chief Tower Master was silent for a while before saying, "I can't be sure about this."
"Hmm?"
Elder Wu was suspicious.
"When the incident happened last night, only the Mu family was present. However, I don't dare to fully believe the Mu family's words, so we still need to investigate."
The Chief Tower Master said.
"The Mu family?"
Elder Wu was stunned and frowned. "Since the Mu family happened to be at the Scorpion Tribe, why didn't they help?"
"That mysterious woman is very powerful. Would ordinary people dare to stop her?"
"However, I have already asked Gongsun Bei to search the Sky Scorpion Mountain Range carefully to see if there are any other witnesses."
"That's not right. Why are you so concerned about this?"
"Could it be that you have some kind of relationship with the Scorpion Tribe?"
Chief Tower Master asked suspiciously.
"We do have some friendship, but it has nothing to do with that. I just want to find out if the rumors outside are true or false."
Elder Wu said.
Chief Pagoda Master nodded and waved his hand: "If there is nothing else, you may leave."
"Yes."
Elder Wu replied respectfully before he turned around and left.
Not long after Elder Wu left, a purple-clothed youth appeared in front of the Chief Pagoda Master.
It was Gongsun Bei!
"How's the investigation going?"
The Chief Tower Master finally opened his eyes. His eyes flickered with anticipation.
"I've searched the area within a radius of several hundred miles. There's not a single survivor."
Gongsun Bei shook his head.
"What about the ferocious beast?"
"I remember that the Ferocious Beasts of the Sky Scorpion Mountain Range are all very strong. There are even Saint Beasts."
"Their intelligence won't be lower than ours. Have you asked them?"
The Chief Tower Master frowned.
"Of course, I thought of this, but let alone a ferocious beast, there wasn't even a bug."
"Even the ferocious beasts outside the Scorpion Mountain Range were all killed."
"In short, there's nothing."
Gongsun Bei sighed.
The Chief Pagoda Master frowned.
"No!"
Suddenly.
He stood up with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Gongsun Bei was surprised.
"There's only one reason to kill all these ferocious beasts. That's to hide something."
"If the Scorpion Tribe was really destroyed by that mysterious woman, is there a need for her to hide?"
"Although I haven't seen this woman, it's not difficult to judge from her actions in the nine regions that she's a very arrogant person. I don't think she would do something so unnecessary."
The Chief Pagoda Master analyzed.
"This …"
Gongsun Bei pondered for a while and said: "Maybe she has some secret conspiracy that she doesn't want people to know?"
The Chief Pagoda Master thought about it carefully and nodded: "It's not impossible."
Then.
He looked up at Gongsun Bei and said: "We can't take this matter lightly. While looking for that mysterious woman, we must also pay attention to the Mu family's movements."
"My lord, are you beginning to suspect the Mu family?"
Gongsun Bei asked.
"Not suspect, but to guard against the unexpected."
"After all, you're right. They're just outsiders, and they're so mysterious. Now that such a big thing has happened, we have to guard against them!"
"In addition, to make things easier for you, from this moment on, all the divine envoys of our Pill Pagoda will be under your command."
After the Chief Pagoda Master finished speaking, he returned to his seat, looking quite tired.
Gongsun Bei's eyes flashed as he bowed and said: "This subordinate will do his best to complete the task."
"Also, go find Hao 'er and tell him that during this period of time, try not to go out if possible."
"I have a hunch that our Central Divine Kingdom may be in chaos."
The Chief Pagoda Master said.
"Yes."
Gongsun Bei bowed respectfully, turned around, and strode out of the attic. He closed the door and then looked at the sky.
"Chaos?"
"Hmph!"
"Whoever dares to disturb the order of our Central Divine Kingdom, I, Gongsun Bei, will not let him go!"
Gongsun Bei muttered, and a strong cold light burst out of his eyes. Then, he rushed into the sky and disappeared into the horizon like lightning.
…
One Pagoda!
Elder Wu was pacing back and forth in front of the pagoda door, as if he was hesitating about something.
"Elder, what's the matter?"
A few disciples passed by and couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
"Don't bother me, get lost!"
Elder Wu did not even bother to look at them as he shouted impatiently.
Those disciples shrank their necks and hurriedly fled.
Another moment passed.
Elder Wu finally stopped and looked at the pagoda door in front of him, muttering: "I don't care so much, I have to ask clearly."
He took out his identity token, opened the pagoda door, and then turned into a stream of light and rushed into the Pill Pagoda.
Soon!
He came to the door of Alchemy Room 10 and reached out to knock on the door.
After more than ten breaths, the stone door didn't open. Elder Wu was a little impatient and was about to knock again.
But at this moment.
The stone door opened quickly.
Qin Feiyang was standing behind the door.
Elder Wu didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Do you have time? There's something I'd like to ask you. "
Qin Feiyang looked at Elder Wu suspiciously before nodding and retreating to the side.
Elder Wu entered the Elixir Refinement Room.
Qin Feiyang closed the stone door casually and asked with a smile, "Elder, why do you seem a little uneasy?"
Elder Wu turned around and looked at Qin Feiyang with an extremely stern expression. "Tell me honestly, did you guys have anything to do with the annihilation of Sky Scorpion tribe?"
"Hmm?"
Stunned, Qin Feiyang asked in surprise, "You're saying that Sky Scorpion tribe was annihilated?"
"You don't know?"
This time around, Elder Wu was the one who was at a loss.
After all this time, this guy didn't know?
Furthermore, Qin Feiyang's first reaction didn't seem like he was faking it.
"I don't know!"
"I've been cultivating all this while. I just came to the main pagoda and I don't have any friends. That's why no one told me."
"Elder, you're not joking, right?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
"I'm not in the mood to joke with you. This matter has already become a hot topic in the city. Everyone knows about it."
Elder Wu sighed.
"Who did it?"
"So powerful that even the Sky Scorpion tribe was annihilated. Awesome!"
Qin Feiyang was extremely surprised, but at the same time, there was a hint of admiration on his face.
"I just went to the main pagoda to inquire about the situation. It's said that the culprit is Qin Feiyang's accomplice, that mysterious woman."
"Moreover, when that woman massacred the Sky Scorpion tribe, the people of the Mu clan saw it with their own eyes."
Elder Wu said.
"I see!"
Qin Feiyang suddenly understood and smiled. "I've also heard of Qin Feiyang's deeds in the nine regions. He's indeed a lawless lord."
Has anyone ever praised themselves? If Mu Qing was here, she would definitely despise him.
"You can still laugh."
Elder Wu rolled his eyes at him and said, "To be honest, before this, I've been suspecting you and Qin Daye."
"This …"
Qin Feiyang was stunned and hurriedly said, "Elder, you can't say such things!"
"You can't blame me for this!"
"After all, I just came to ask for your help yesterday, and the Sky Scorpion tribe was annihilated at night. If it were someone else, they would also suspect you."
"However, now I can be sure that this matter has nothing to do with you."
Elder Wu chuckled and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "Elder is wise."
"Don't flatter me."
"Listen to my advice. No matter what relationship you have with Willow Divine Representative, you'd better be honest in the main pagoda in the future."
Elder Wu said with a serious expression.
"I will remember."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
Elder Wu smiled and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."
"Take care, I won't see you off."
Qin Feiyang cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Elder Wu turned around and opened the stone door. He then turned his head to look at Qin Feiyang and said, "You probably don't know about the Martial Arts Treasury, right? Every new disciple has a chance to enter for free. You and Qin Daye should take some time to go and take a look. If you are lucky, you might even find a perfect Battle Art."
"Okay."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
Elder Wu smiled and then left with his hands behind his back.
"I didn't expect that old man to be so suspicious."
Qin Feiyang mumbled and waved his hand to close the stone door, then entered the ancient castle again.
"That Elder Wu seems to care about you."
Inside the ancient castle.
Lu Hong looked up at Qin Feiyang with a charming smile on her face.
"He's indeed a good person."
"However, I can also see that he's very loyal to the main pagoda."
"If he knew that I had something to do with all this, he definitely wouldn't have such an attitude."
"Let's not talk about this person. Anyway, he's just a passer-by in my life. We won't have much interaction."
"But I really need to find time to take a look at the martial arts treasury."
Qin Feiyang said with a smile.
Lu Hong said with a smile, "Then I'll congratulate you in advance for finding a perfect battle art."
"How can a perfect battle art be so easy to find?"
"Even if I find it, it might not be suitable for me to cultivate."
Qin Feiyang shook his head and smiled. He walked to the altar and calmed his heart to copy the 'kill' formula.
