Everyone looked over.
Jiang Wang frowned and asked, "Did you kill him?"
This wasn't a good sign.
The opportunity hadn't appeared yet, but someone had already died.
This meant that the following competition would be very bloody and tragic!
The uniqueness of the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm made it an isolated island of human nature. Ethics, morals, and laws couldn't be bound by human rules.
In the main world, in any country with complete laws, murderers would be punished. Transcendent cultivators could kill countless people with a flick of their fingers, but almost no Transcendent cultivator who wanted to live under the sun would do so.
Even if they were Transcendent cultivators, they had to bear the consequences of killing.
That was why those heretical sects were hated by everyone and couldn't see the light of day.
But in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, all the restrictions of reality didn't exist.
Because here, no one would know what was done, and there was no need to take responsibility.
Therefore, anything could happen.
Those who committed crimes often hid their faces, and those who plotted against others often hid their names.
A great scholar from the Twilight Drum Academy once said that human nature couldn't be tested in the darkness because human nature was the darkness itself.
The cultivator wearing the hat had an ugly expression. "It wasn't me!"
This person had a flat nose and a dark face. He was already ugly, and when his expression became ugly, it couldn't be described as ugly anymore. It made him look even more terrifying.
So it was like that.
It was likely that everyone had rushed to the main palace after hearing the commotion. Some came first, some came later.
Among the four people who came later, no one should have seen how Tian Yong died with their own eyes. So they only faintly surrounded the hat, but no one made a move.
"It wasn't you?" The woman standing in the northeast corner said coldly, "I heard the sound and rushed over. In less than three breaths, you were already standing next to Tian Yong's corpse. Could it be that you were faster than me? "
"Seven breaths."
"Five breaths."
"Six breaths."
The other three reported the time. Some of them rushed back from the front hall, some from the back hall, and some ran to the red jade archway to search for clues.
"You all saw me rush over," Jiang Wang said as he met their gazes.
The face of the hat became even uglier. "Of course I was faster than you, because when I heard the sound and turned around, he was already dead!"
"That's even more interesting." The woman sneered. "Could it be that he died because of your ugliness?"
"You!"
The rich-hat cultivator's honor was indeed lacking. He was enraged when he heard this. "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I didn't kill her. But if you want to cause trouble, feel free to do so! "
"Lian Que, don't be so angry. Tell us what happened. "A cultivator with a mature face said.
He should know the cultivator in the wealthy hat, but their relationship was probably not that close.
Although his words helped Lian Que out of the predicament, the figure blocking his way did not move.
Standing in front of Jiang Wang was a man wearing a long cloak. It should be in the same direction as Jiang Wang, but after Jiang Wang.
After Jiang Wang appeared, he silently moved aside. He maintained sufficient vigilance.
At this moment, he also said, "That's right. Tell me how you killed Tian Yong, the son of the Tian Clan of the Great Lake Commandery. He must have a lot of treasures on him, right?"
His voice was inexplicably cold and inhuman.
Lian Que angrily glared at him, but he wasn't a fool and didn't want to be besieged by everyone.
He patiently explained, "I originally went to the rear hall to search for fated chances, but then I suddenly remembered that I hadn't carefully searched the main hall. Although others must have already searched it, I still felt more at ease. So, I turned back.
I just happened to meet Tian Yong in the main hall. He had just returned. We chatted for a while and exchanged information. I didn't want to search for clues in front of him, so I decided to go to the rear hall first. At this time, I suddenly heard his screams. I turned around and saw that he was already dead.
I didn't even have time to investigate the cause of death before all of you came! "
"If what you said is true. Then who could have killed Tian Yong in such a short time? Moreover, you, Lian Que, couldn't detect it? Is there such a strong person below the Soaring Dragon Realm? "The woman from before questioned.
"Maybe. But he wasn't in this Dragon Palace. Moreover, if he was, he wouldn't have hidden himself, "the mature cultivator said.
The woman's expression froze. She knew who this person was talking about. She immediately said, "Since Wang Yiwu wasn't here, then why is he here?" It was obvious that Lian Que was lying. Why, Zhao Fangyuan, does your Four Seas Trading Firm still want to protect the people of the Lian Family? "
The mature cultivator shook his head. "I just feel that since the fated chance hasn't appeared yet, there's no need for us to fight to the death. Of course, if Lian Que chooses to kill in advance, we might as well push him out of the competition first. "
Naturally, the only way to push him out of the competition was to kill him.
The cultivator from the Four Seas Trading Firm seemed to be helping Lian Que, but he was the first to show his killing intent towards Lian Que!
The cultivator wearing a long cloak echoed in a gloomy voice, "That's right."
The female cultivator from the northeast corner also took two steps forward.
In fact, no matter whether it was true or not, one less competitor meant one more chance for oneself.
In particular, the Lian Family of Scarlet Sun had a very high background and Lian Que's strength was extraordinary.
Being able to push such an opponent out of the competition ahead of time was undoubtedly a good thing for one's competitors.
"Since the fated chance hasn't appeared yet, isn't it a bit too hasty for everyone to kill each other?" Jiang Wang took a few steps towards the center of the hall.
Firstly, he didn't agree with the conclusion that Lian Que was the murderer. Secondly, these three people were faintly showing signs of forming a small group. If they were allowed to kill Lian Que at this time, then after they tasted the sweetness of victory, it was very likely that they would follow suit and push the others out of the competition one after another.
This was very disadvantageous for him, who was alone here, so he had to stop them.
"Maybe he was poisoned," the tall man standing at the entrance of the main hall said.
He had been silent all this time and only spoke now.
"Why don't we examine Tian Yong's body first and find out the cause of his death? It won't be too late to make a decision then. "
"Then," Zhao Fangyuan said, "Who's good at autopsy?"
Qi's commerce was developed, and the power of the trading firms couldn't be underestimated. The two biggest trading firms were the Jubao Merchants and the Four Seas Trading Firm. Both of them had powerful forces that weren't inferior to ordinary aristocratic families.
Zhao Fangyuan, who came from the Four Seas Trading Firm, was naturally not afraid of Lian Que. However, at this time, Jiang Wang and the tall man had expressed their opposition. Even if the remaining three joined forces, it would only be a three-on-three situation. Therefore, she had to let it go lightly.
"I'll do it," the tall man said. "I'm Ji Xiu from the East King Valley. I've studied autopsy techniques before."
The East King Valley was a world-famous sect of the Dao of Medicine. This kind of background was indeed convincing. At the same time, the East King Valley was also an independent sect that didn't belong to any country. Its position was relatively impartial.
Lian Que glared at Zhao Fangyuan fiercely. He looked like he was going to fight to the death if there was any disagreement. However, he still moved aside to let Ji Xiu come over to examine.
Jiang Wang had no objection. The cause of Tian Yong's death was very important and related to everyone's personal safety.
If he was poisoned to death, they needed to know what kind of poison it was so that they could be prepared.
If he was killed by force, they needed to know who the culprit was. Was it a cultivator who came in with them, or was it a hidden danger in the Dragon Palace?
Even if he was killed by Lian Que, they still needed to eliminate this dangerous person.
Just as Ji Xiu walked to Tian Yong's body, squatted down, and was about to start the autopsy …
