Under the threats and orders of Jade Luo Academy and the city guards, the rogue cultivators who were watching the scene dispersed one by one despite their unwillingness.
A few witnesses were left behind, and they were also survivors.
Judging from the lingering fear in their hearts, it was obvious that they had suffered a great fright.
However, the situation was just as Qin Yi had guessed. As expected, when the group of evil spirits passed by, they left behind a massacre. There was no reason, no conflict, and no logic behind the massacre!
It was precisely because there was no conflict and no reason that the unprovoked massacre was even more frightening.
The people from Jade Luo Academy interrogated several witnesses, and all of them had the same story. It was said that those creatures had appeared out of nowhere and attacked without rhyme or reason. Then, after a round of slaughter, they left.
"Captain Jiao, your city guards are elites in charge of the capital's safety. You have to do something about such a brazen massacre. Moreover, how could they bring so many beasts and evil spirits into the capital? Isn't this too unreasonable and unruly? "
A wandering cultivator who had survived the calamity was full of resentment. Though he was not dead, he had lost an arm in the massacre.
The leader of the city guards glanced at him coldly. "Do we need you to teach us what to do?"
The wandering cultivator was as silent as a cicada in winter.
"Disperse, all of you. We will investigate this matter thoroughly. Once we have any news, we will put up a notice to announce it. "
This answer was very perfunctory and sloppy.
However, the witnesses dared not voice their anger. They could only swallow their anger and accept their bad luck. They left the scene obediently under the watchful eyes of the city guards.
Captain Jiao walked up to the executive of Jade Luo Academy and said, "Elder Xu, you've seen it for yourself. This battle was extremely ferocious. With the city guards' abilities, I'm afraid they won't be able to investigate. I'm afraid we'll need Jade Luo Academy to handle this matter. "
Elder Xu looked gloomy as well. Jade Luo Academy?
Jade Luo Academy was no longer the same as before. Ever since internal strife broke out, many of the academy's executives had fallen. Their internal strength was weak, and they might not be able to handle this matter.
However, he naturally couldn't say these words out loud.
After all, this had happened within the borders of Yuluo Country, and it had happened within the Yuluo Kingdom's capital. Logically or emotionally, Jade Luo Academy could not shirk this responsibility.
Elder Xu was extremely depressed. He walked toward the cultivators of the Green Lotus Cult and discussed something in a low voice.
The cultivators of the Green Lotus Cult seemed to have said something. Elder Xu's expression became more and more gloomy, but there was nothing he could do.
It was obvious that even though the Green Lotus Society only had a few mid-level cultivators, they were putting on airs in front of Elder Xu, a high-ranking member of Jade Luo Academy.
Qin Yi saw this from the dark, but he did not sympathize at all.
This was the fate of the slaves of a subjugated country. In front of the invaders, they were far more than just inferior.
However, the disciples of the Green Lotus Order did not put on airs to the end. One of them said to Elder Xu, "Bring some people and guard the scene. I will inform the higher-ups of the Church. By the way, my Saintess is nearby. I'll go and inform her. "
Saintess?
Even though Qin Yi was hiding in the dark, his divine sense was strong and his hearing was sharp. He heard everything clearly. Could the Saintess mentioned by the Green Lotus Society be Xia Ji, the one he met in the Forsaken Land of the Gods?
Qin Yi had a deep impression of Xia Ji.
Qin Yi had planned to leave, but when he heard that the Saintess was coming, he stopped and continued to hide in the dark.
About fifteen minutes later, another group of people from the Green Lotus Society arrived. The person in the lead was the Saintess of the Green Lotus Society, Xia Ji.
Compared to two years ago, Xia Ji's figure had grown taller. The childishness on her face had completely disappeared, and she had grown into a slender and elegant young lady.
Her features were still as pure and refined as before. Her untainted temperament made her stand out among the crowd, causing others to pale in comparison.
Even though they were enemies, Qin Yi had to admit that the Saintess of the Green Lotus Society had an extraordinary temperament. She was indeed outstanding.
In his previous world, she would definitely be a cold and aloof goddess who outshone all kinds of beauties in makeup. That was because Xia Ji's temperament was completely natural.
Compared to Mu Chan 'er, Xia Ji lacked an air of elegance and nobility, but she had a natural wildness to her.
Upon seeing Xia Ji, even Elder Xu from the Jadeheaven Academy was extremely respectful, and his expression was exceptionally respectful.
Xia Ji, on the other hand, was not one to pretend to be polite. She frowned slightly and began to carefully examine the corpses.
A moment later, a hint of coldness flashed across Xia Ji's eyes. When she raised her head, a hint of understanding could be seen in her clear, clear eyes.
It seemed that she had roughly figured out something.
"Saintess …"
Xia Ji waved her hand. "Clear the corpses. You don't have to worry about this. I already have a rough idea. "
Captain Jiao didn't know who Xia Ji was, but when he saw Xia Ji's outstanding temperament and beautiful appearance, he was momentarily blinded by his thoughts. He smiled and said, "Saintess, if you don't give us an explanation soon, I'm afraid the rogue cultivators of Jade Luo Country will be in chaos …"
Xia Ji's face darkened. "Who are you?"
Elder Xu hurriedly reprimanded, "Captain Jiao, what kind of tone is that? Do you know who the Saintess is? Which wandering cultivator would dare to cause trouble even if they had ten guts? Who would dare to cause trouble? "
Captain Jiao did not know who Xia Ji was, but he knew who Elder Xu was. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Xia Ji said indifferently, "Captain Jiao, what explanation do you want? If I tell you who the culprit is, can you bring them to justice? If you have the ability, I can lead the way and bring the city guards to the culprit. How about it? "
Captain Jiao stammered, but he couldn't come up with a reply.
Xia Ji did not look at him again. "Clean up and disperse."
As the Saintess of the Green Lotus Cult, not many people dared to disobey her. Soon, under Elder Xu's command, the city guards began to move and clean up the scene.
After pondering for a while, Xia Ji left.
Seeing that Xia Ji had left, Qin Yi's figure flashed and he followed her.
He did not follow too closely. Instead, he followed in the direction that Xia Ji had left.
As Xia Ji was walking, she suddenly stopped and turned around. However, there was nothing behind her. There was not a single shadow.
Xia Ji was slightly surprised. She had sensed something with her divine sense and felt that someone was following her. However, when she turned around, she did not see anything.
Was it an illusion?
