"Search! Search carefully! Don't let go of any clues! "
Northmont Fox had been assassinated right under the noses of the Loose Immortals. No matter what, it was these people who had failed to protect him.
The six Loose Immortals soared into the air and released their divine souls to sense. They continuously used all kinds of investigative Dharma Formations and swept the entire mansion inside and out. However, they still didn't find any clues.
"Patriarch, we didn't find anything. That person … probably left long ago! "
The six Loose Immortals landed on the ground and reported to Northmont Yin with a bow.
"Patriarch, this matter … I'm afraid it's not normal."
A Loose Immortal in a black robe cupped his hands towards Northmont Yin. "Whether it's the seal of the grand array or our perception, we didn't find anyone infiltrating. They came without a trace and left without a trace. This situation, unless … "
"Unless what?"
Northmont Yin turned to look at this person and roared furiously.
"Unless it's a Sky Immortal!"
The black-robed cultivator replied with a grave expression.
"Sky Immortal? If you're looking for an excuse, at least come up with a better one! Is there a need to assassinate a Sky Immortal? "
Northmont Yin pointed at the black-robed Loose Immortal and roared furiously.
"Patriarch, we're useless!"
The six Loose Immortals sighed and lowered their heads in unison.
"Useless …"
Just as he was about to continue scolding, Northmont Yin suddenly thought of something. He took a deep breath and suppressed the roar in his heart. "Something happened to Hu 'er, and it messed up my mind. I spoke insolently just now, please don't blame me. "
The ambitious and ruthless Northmont Yin naturally knew that his son was already dead. However, these Loose Immortals were his assistants, and he still had to rely on them in the future. He couldn't be disloyal.
"Patriarch, you're too polite! This matter is indeed a dereliction of our duty. "
Six Loose Immortals were overseeing the mansion, but someone had actually infiltrated and assassinated their young master. This made them very embarrassed.
"This matter is indeed inconceivable. However … it shouldn't be a Sky Immortal! "
After calming down, Northmont Yin quickly sorted out his thoughts. "Although my son seems arrogant, he's actually intelligent. He definitely wouldn't easily offend a Sky Immortal expert. Moreover, why would a Sky Immortal need to assassinate someone? "
If he was a Celestial Immortal expert, why would he need to carry out such an assassination?
Even if Patriarch Tuo Shan of the Marquisate of Antan was a Celestial Immortal, in the end, he would still have to sacrifice Northmont Fox to quell the rage of the Celestial Immortal.
"Find out who Hu 'er has been in conflict with recently. Investigate them one by one. I'd rather kill the wrong person than let them go."
Northmont Yin snorted coldly. "This person is definitely not a Celestial Immortal. The only possibility was that he possessed a unique treasure of the Celestial Immortal level, which allowed him to sneak into the mansion. Carefully investigate the people who have enmity with Hu 'er. You must find the murderer! "
"Yes!"
Everyone bowed and accepted the order.
"Patriarch … I have something to report to you."
The black-robed Loose Immortal hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Beishan Yin. "Patriarch, while you were cultivating in seclusion, I was unable to find any clues. Young Master Fox … He had a conflict with a cultivator called Qi Heng. Fellow Daoist Blood Devil is dead. Then … two days ago, Fellow Daoists Lie Feng and Lie Huo also went out and haven't returned yet. "
"Hmm?"
Beishan Yin's eyes widened. "Qi Heng? Blood Demon was dead? Die in Qi Heng's hands? What's the background of this Qi Heng? "
"Patriarch, this Qi Heng comes from a small tribe on Mount Yan. He calls himself Old Demon Black Mountain and has a cultivation at the Manifestation Realm. He's a teenager."
"In the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Qi Heng had a gambling match with Young Master Fox. He killed the Meng Clan's patriarch with one strike, thus forming a grudge with Young Master Fox. Then, Young Master Fox sent Blood Demon to attack … and was killed by Qi Heng. "
"In the past two days, Qi Heng entered the desolate swamps of the Gaol Mountains to participate in the Raindragon Guard trials. Young Master Fox then sent Fellow Daoists Lie Feng and Lie Huo … "
The black-robed Loose Immortal hastily recounted the grudge between Northmont Fox and Qi Heng.
"A teenager at the Manifestation Realm? He killed an Essence Soul Venerable and Blood Demon? "
Beishan Yin's face was filled with shock, and it took him a while to regain his composure. "Hu 'er did the right thing. Since we've offended such a peerless genius, we must kill him before he matures. "
Looking at his subordinates, an icy glint appeared in Beishan Yin's eyes. "The one who assassinated Hu 'er must be this Qi Heng. The murderer is Qi Heng! Go, capture him and bring him back! "
"Patriarch, right now, Qi Heng … is still undergoing trials in the desolate swamps of the Gaol Mountains …"
The black-robed Loose Immortal reminded him.
"Trials? Since he can sneak into the estate without being discovered by you and leave without being discovered by anyone, can't he sneak out of the desolate swamps of the Gaol Mountains? "
Beishan Yin snorted and waved his hand. "Come, follow me to the Raindragon Guard's encampment. A member of the Raindragon Guard killed a disciple of the Marquis of Antan's Estate. I'd like to see if Han Ting still dares to shield him! "
At his command, Beishan Yin led his subordinates out of the estate in a hurry.
To leave, the formation that sealed off the entire estate naturally had to be activated, and then …
"If you don't go out and activate the formation, I'll really be trapped here by you!"
Qi Heng smiled and took advantage of the moment the formation was activated to float out of the estate with the wind.
"You want to find me at the Raindragon Guard? Hmph, if the Raindragon Guard still can't protect me even though I have an alibi, then the Raindragon Guard doesn't need to exist anymore. "
Qi Heng let out a cold laugh. His figure floated by with the wind as he soundlessly returned to the inn and silently slipped underground.
"Earthline teleportation array. This is my unique teleportation method."
Stepping into the teleportation array, the spiritual energy of the earthlines surged slightly, and Qi Heng's figure instantly disappeared.
Afterwards, this single-use teleportation array instantly collapsed and melted into the earth, leaving not a single trace behind.
When he reappeared, Qi Heng had already arrived at the desolate swamps of the Gaol Mountains, where he had battled the Wind Immortals and Flame Immortals.
"I was ambushed by two Loose Immortals. No matter how much of a genius I am, I was still heavily injured after killing two Loose Immortals. I could only find a place to recuperate."
Qi Heng chuckled. "I was heavily injured. How could I go out and assassinate? Whether it's Northmont Fox's death or Qin Gang's death, it definitely has nothing to do with me. "
With a wave of his hand, the spiritual energy in Qi Heng's body became utterly chaotic, and the starry sky within his Zifu dantian began to tremble.
"When I was still Autarch Hunyuan, I experienced countless hardships and fought my way out, narrowly escaping death countless times. My ability to feign death … it's hard to tell if I'm real or fake! "
Of course, this was all a facade. Qi Heng was confident that no one in this era would be able to see through his "Earth Chaotic Disorder" technique.
"However, I can't entrust the safety of my life to others."
Qi Heng raised his head and looked towards the depths of the desolate swamps of the Gaol Mountains. When he saw the gigantic spatial rifts, a smile appeared on his lips.
"With my current strength, it's still rather dangerous for me to go to the outer realms. However, if I have no other choice, this is also a path of retreat. "
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Qi Heng chaotically set up an ordinary sealing formation. A cloud of mist appeared and concealed Qi Heng.
Then, the pale and half-dead Qi Heng sat cross-legged on the ground with great difficulty and pretended to be recovering from his injuries.
"Boom!"
There was a loud explosion in the distant void as figures with vast auras howled over.
Sensing this movement, Qi Heng smiled faintly. "Next, it's the critical moment! General Han Ting, I hope you won't disappoint me! "
