In the outside world.
At this time, many onlookers had gathered around Beauty's Grave, as well as the disciples of the Eight Great Families. Most of them were from the Song, Lin, and Wei Families.
During this period of time, the news about the disappearance of the heirs of the three families had spread throughout the continent. Not only did it cause a huge reaction in the Fire Country, but it also attracted a lot of attention in several other countries. After all, every move of the top forces in the continent would involve a lot of people. It was difficult not to attract attention.
After the Song Family checked some other areas and confirmed that there was no trace of Song Zheyuan, they gathered some people at Beauty's Grave. But relatively speaking, there were not many people at Beauty's Grave.
Another dangerous place in the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, the Black Stone Forest, was the place where the people of the major clans gathered the most. It was also the place where the search was the most intensive, because in everyone's opinion, Song Zheyuan and the others were most likely to go there.
At this time, outside Beauty's Grave, two Gold Core Stage cultivators of the Song Family had arrived and were whispering to each other.
"Have you found any clues around Beauty's Grave?" Song Rong, who had just arrived, asked.
"A little, but this kind of cloak is not accurate. There is no way to be sure!" Song Tao shook his head and his face was full of haze.
"What about Yang 'an City? Is there any latest news? "Song Rong asked with a gloomy face.
Almost a month had passed, and they still had no clues. If this went on, even if the family did not blame them, the Song Family would be disgraced. Especially after the news spread, the whole Fire Country and even the Southern Ming Continent had their eyes on them. Just by looking at the scene of people around Beauty's Grave, they knew how terrible this matter had become.
Just when the two of them were frowning, a man in black suddenly appeared outside the Song Family's camp. This man's cultivation was at the Gold Core Stage. He held a token of the Song Family and went straight to the central camp where Song Tao was.
"Song Tao, Song Rong, the family has found some news in Yang 'an City. I'm here to inform you!" The man did not beat around the bush. He directly explained the purpose of his visit as soon as he saw them.
"What news?" The two of them immediately asked. Having news was better than waiting here. Being surrounded by a group of onlookers made them feel extremely sullen. They had long wanted to vent their frustrations, but they didn't have the chance.
"We found a person in Yang 'an City. This person has an irreconcilable feud with the Song Clan!" Song Hao said solemnly, with a murderous look on his face.
"Who? How dare you go against our Song Clan, yet you're still alive! "Song Tao said in a cold voice.
"Do you still remember the assassin organization that attacked our Song family fifteen years ago — Black Skeleton Sword?" Song Hao asked in a deep voice.
"Black Skeletal Sword? I do have an impression of them. At that time, they seemed to be a rather famous assassin organization. Didn't they get wiped out after attacking our Song family? What's going on? Could there still be survivors? "Song Rong asked curiously.
"That's right. We found traces of Hei Xuan, the creator of the Black Skeleton Sword, in Yang 'an City. He opened a shop called Black Shop in the trading market of Yang' an City. He has been active around Yang 'an City all these years. And we have found out that when Song Zheyuan disappeared, Hei Xuan also disappeared!" Song Hao explained.
"Hei Xuan? He's not dead yet. He's really lucky! I remember that he was injured by our Song Clan's Sun Sword at that time. The fire poison invaded his body. In a situation where there was no cure, he actually survived until now … "Song Tao said in surprise.
"He was injured by the Sun Sword. Today, fifteen years later, even if he was at the Nascent Soul Stage, he should be at the end of his rope. Could it be because of this reason that he wants to drag our Song Clan's inheritor to be buried with him …" Song Rong immediately guessed. His expression was extremely ugly.
If this was really the case, it was equivalent to slapping the Song Clan in the face. And it was the kind of slap that made a loud sound.
"The Song Clan also guessed this possibility, so they ordered me to come and tell you the latest situation. They want you to change your focus from this ruin to investigating Hei Xuan's whereabouts!" Song Hao said with a dignified expression. Then he lowered his voice, "In addition, you have to pay attention to these onlookers. If this was really done by Hei Xuan, then in order to see us make a fool of ourselves, he is likely to hide among these people …"
"I understand. I will send someone to quietly investigate the onlookers and find clues from them!" Song Tao said immediately, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Well, that's the case. Since I've finished conveying the message, I should go!" After Song Hao finished speaking, he turned and left directly, rushing to the next suspicious place where the Song Clan's disciples gathered.
"What do you think?" Song Tao asked Song Rong.
"Send someone to secretly make a list of suspicious people here. Although Hei Xuan was poisoned by the fire poison of the Sun Sword and his strength should have decreased greatly after fifteen years, he was still at the Nascent Soul Stage after all. Even if he can't exert much of his strength now, he's still not someone an ordinary person can deal with. So we have to take action. Before that, don't alert the enemy!" Song Rong calmly analyzed.
"I have the same idea. I'll arrange it now!" Song Tao nodded, turned and walked out.
Among the onlookers outside, a slightly stooped figure stood in the middle of the crowd. He looked quite inconspicuous, but under his turbid eyes, a sharp cold light flashed from time to time. His gaze was directed at the Song Clan.
"Since Blue Dragon entered Beauty's Tomb, the Voice-transmitting Ring has lost its function. My news can't be leaked. Otherwise, it would save a lot of trouble!" Hei Xuan thought to himself. Looking at the increasing number of people around him, his worried expression became more and more intense.
"It will be the night of the full moon in a few days. When Beauty's Tomb opens, the mystery of Song Zheyuan's death will be revealed. I'm afraid that no one who comes out of this place will be able to leave easily!"
"Lin Long is the Bai Lingzi of the Lin Clan, and this is the Lin Clan's territory. Naturally, the Song Clan won't dare to do anything to him. Wei Wu also has the Wei Clan behind him. Only Blue Dragon has no background!"
"Although Blue Dragon's real identity is also the Bai Lingzi of the Lin Clan, he probably doesn't want to expose his identity, so …"
Hei Xuan frowned, thinking about the current predicament. His strength had decreased greatly under the erosion of the fire poison. Although Blue Dragon had extracted the fire poison twice, his cultivation had not fully recovered. His strength was greatly reduced. It would be difficult for him to face two Gold Core Stage cultivators, let alone nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another. Hei Xuan, who was hiding in the crowd, did not realize that danger was getting closer and closer to him.
