They had all died in such a uniform manner and not a single corpse was an exception. Death in the ice spikes was a very common occurrence and all those who had come to the Heaven's End Cliff to reach the ice spikes knew that death could happen at any time and any place.
But!
The state of death would definitely not be like this!
Such a manner of death, was obviously the result of someone deliberately arranging it.
Although the heads of those people had been rotted away, the clothes on their bodies were exactly the same as what the people from the Flamboyant Palace were wearing. It was obvious that this group of people were the same batch of people who had been sent to the Heaven's End Cliff.
Although they had already known that the outcome for these people would be death, but when the people from the Flamboyant Palace saw with their own eyes the way these people had died, they felt their bodies turn cold, a chill creeping up their spines.
As the time of death had not been very long and the temperature here was extremely low, the corpses had been preserved very well. That gory and gory scene, made people's hair stand on end.
"Blargh!" Someone could not help but vomit.
Seeing people from the same palace dead in such a manner and their bodies laid out so neatly, the unease and terror caused their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.
"Who could have done this!? Flame Demons Palace ….. Soul Return Palace ….. Or could it be people from the other palaces!? "The leader of the group shouted in rage in terror, the hairs on his body standing on end.
"Boss, what should we do ….. They ….. Are they still here? They are trying to kill us! " The other people from the Flamboyant Palace were in a state of panic. The number of people who had died was just too many, densely packed together, filling up the already narrow space between the ice spikes to the brim. At a glance, they could see dead bodies everywhere and what terrified them even more was that among all the dead bodies, they could only see people from the Flamboyant Palace and not a single corpse of anyone from the other palaces.
The powers between the various palaces of the Twelve Palaces were evenly matched and unless an Elder from one of the palaces joined the fray, it was basically impossible for them to crush the other palaces with just their combined powers alone. Hence, a situation where only people from the Flamboyant Palace had died would never happen.
Unless the killer had taken away the corpses of their own people, or if there was an Elder level figure among them!
Even in the cold fog, the leader's forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat.
"Boss ….. I heard ….. that the Palace of Flame Demons had sent an Elder from the Palace to the Heaven's End Cliff more than a year ago. A year has passed and that Elder has not returned to the Palace of Flame Demons. Do you think that all these incidents could have been done by that Elder? Could it be that they have already found the Dark Emperor's tomb and were afraid that we would discover it, so they ….. "
The leader furrowed his brows and felt a chill run down his spine. Such a possibility wasn't impossible.
The one who had gone missing from the Palace of Flame Demons was Elder Hui. Although he was not the most powerful among the Elders of the Palace of Flame Demons, but when compared to the others, he was still overwhelmingly powerful. That was the first time that any of the Twelve Palaces had sent an Elder to go to the Heaven's End Cliff and that had incurred the displeasure of the other palaces.
They had strongly urged the Flame Demons Palace Lord to recall them back but the Flame Demons Palace Lord had used Elder Hui's disappearance as a reason to reject the protests of the other palaces.
But who would believe this?
How powerful was an Elder of a palace? How could he just disappear just like that?
Instead of saying that Elder Hui had gone missing, it was more likely that people would believe that the Palace of Flame Demons had found an important clue or that they had even found the Dark Emperor's tomb, which was why they had allowed Elder Hui to stand guard here!
