It seemed to be a one-sided battle, but True Venerable Gui Yuan was a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator after all. Lu Qingshan had to use all his means to win the battle.
The three Natal Swords were unleashed, and the two Secret Swords were unleashed.
Spell Breaking was his trump card. Even Qin Yitian showed up to help. One in front and one behind, the two swords attacked together to complete the counterattack.
In less than 20 breaths, he used up 45% of his spiritual power that had just reached late-stage Nascent Soul.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly to Qin Yitian.
Qin Yitian understood immediately. She turned into a red cloud and disappeared into the Dragonsparrow.
After Lu Qingshan put away his natal swords, he put away True Venerable Gui Yuan's storage ring. Finally, he took True Venerable Gui Yuan's broken body and flew toward the Sword Sect at full speed on his sword.
He didn't know which force was targeting him this time.
The possibility of it being Hell was the highest, but there were other possibilities as well.
No matter what, since this force could send a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator from Da Xia Kingdom to kill him, the force behind this must be extremely terrifying.
He was worried that there would be more. Now that he had used up most of his means and was not in his best condition, he had to leave this place quickly and return to the sect first.
.....
When Lin 'an Palace was first opened, Silver Saddle was drunk on the West Lake every day.
The main city of the Eastern Region of the human race was Lin 'an City.
Although Lin 'an City was not as prosperous as Chang' an City, it was still a big city with the word "An" in it. It was the city with the largest population in the Eastern Region of Da Xia Kingdom.
Lord Lin 'an Xia Yue, as the city lord of Lin' an City and the governor appointed by Da Xia Kingdom, was dealing with official business. He suddenly looked up and looked at the door.
Not long after, a respectful voice came from outside. "Lord Lin 'an."
"Come in," Lord Lin 'an said in a low voice.
Then, a male cultivator wearing Da Xia Kingdom's uniform walked in.
"What's the matter?" Lord Lin 'an looked at him and frowned.
The male cultivator in front of him wore a uniform that represented his position.
He was from the Thousand Lantern Tower.
The lanterns in the Thousand Lanterns Tower referred to soul lanterns.
The owners of these soul lamps were the cultivators of the Da Xia Kingdom in the Eastern Domain, who were at least Deputy City Lords.
"Lord Lin An, the soul lamp of Bai Ta City's Vice City Lord Gui Yuan True Venerable has just extinguished." The male cultivator who came in had a gloomy expression as he respectfully reported.
"What?" Although Prince Lin An had already expected this, his expression still changed slightly at this moment.
After reporting this matter, the male cultivator took his leave.
As for what to do next, it had nothing to do with the Thousand Lanterns Tower.
There was some anger in Lin An Wang's heart. "Just who is it that dares to be so bold? Daring to kill an official of the Da Xia Kingdom, this is a provocation to the Da Xia Kingdom … "
"It has been decades since a Da Xia Kingdom official was killed. No matter who the person is, once I find out, I will make him pay the price!" Lin An King's eyes were dark.
As a King level cultivator of the Da Xia Kingdom, he could not tolerate anyone being disrespectful to the Da Xia Kingdom.
After thinking for a while, Lin An Wang quickly issued an order. "Order the Supreme Court to rush to Bai Ta City and investigate the death of Gui Yuan True Venerable."
Soon.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Whoosh. Dozens of figures from the Supreme Court of the Da Xia Kingdom received the order and dispersed from the Eastern Domain's big city. They used the teleportation formation to travel to Bai Ta City at a terrifying speed to investigate the situation and find out the truth.
Bai Ta City was one of the few big cities in the Eastern Domain, and the teleportation formation was set up in all directions.
Under the lead of the Supreme Court's Divine Transformation cultivator 'Wang Yan', dozens of cultivators from the Da Xia Kingdom soon arrived at this big human city that was adjacent to the Sword Sect.
After exiting the teleportation formation of Bai Ta City, Wang Yan headed directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Lord." The City Lord of Bai Ta City had already received the news and was waiting in the City Lord's Mansion. When he saw Wang Yan, he bowed respectfully.
Wang Yan waved his hand and went straight to the point. "I am here to investigate the death of Gui Yuan True Venerable. Do you have any useful information?"
"Reporting to Lord." The City Lord's eyes were filled with anger.
After all, his Vice City Lord had died an unnatural death. Not only did he lose face, but he also could not escape responsibility. Therefore, he was very cooperative with Wang Yan, hoping to find the culprit as soon as possible and end this matter.
"Gui Yuan True Venerable does not care about others. He usually concentrates on his cultivation and rarely leaves Bai Ta City. As far as I know, he does not have any enemies on the surface.
However, with our position, it is unavoidable for us to offend many people. "
Wang Yan nodded and did not speak, but there was some displeasure in his eyes.
He naturally knew about these things. What he wanted was solid information and not nonsense.
The White Tower City Governor also sensed Wang Yan's dissatisfaction, so he quickly cut to the chase. "However, as far as I know, not long before Gui Yuan died, when he left the mansion, he revealed to his servant that he had something to discuss with Sword Sect's Lu Qingshan."
"The Sword Sect's Lu Qingshan?" When Wang Yan heard this name, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is it the champion of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion?"
"I don't know the details, but I think it should be," the City Lord said carefully. "Perhaps Lord can get some useful information from Lu Qingshan."
"How did Gui Yuan True Venerable and Lu Qingshan get to know each other?" Wang Yan asked again. "As far as I know, the champion of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion was born in the Southern Region and entered the Sword Sect for a year.
In other words, he has only been in the Eastern Territory for less than a year. According to what you said, True Venerable Gui Yuan is a person who focuses on cultivation and rarely leaves Bai Ta City. In that case, how could the two of them know each other? "
"I'm not sure about that," the City Lord replied. "I don't know much about Gui Yuan's private matters …"
Wang Yan frowned slightly as his eyes flashed.
There was one more point that he did not mention.
Why did Gui Yuan True Venerable have to reveal to his servant what he wanted to do?
He smelled something unusual from it.
"I'll have to trouble the City Lord." Wang Yan did not continue and left with the City Lord.
…
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Yan's subordinate saw Wang Yan come out and quickly asked, "Lord, did you find anything?"
"This matter is not right. There might be something fishy about Gui Yuan True Venerable's death."
"Not right?"
"Let's go to Gui Yuan True Venerable's mansion first," Wang Yan said.
Gui Yuan True Venerable's mansion.
Wang Yan's gaze was as sharp as a knife as he scanned the servants standing in front of him.
"When Gui Yuan True Venerable left the mansion, who told you that he was going to look for Sword Sect Lu Qingshan?"
A Foundation Establishment servant stepped forward and said timidly, "It was me."
"What's the specific situation?"
The Foundation Establishment servant said, "At that time, Zhao Family's Patriarch wanted to look for Gui Yuan True Venerable, so I passed the message.
Gui Yuan True Venerable asked me to reject Zhao Family's Patriarch, saying that he had something urgent to look for Lu Qingshan and asked Zhao Family's Patriarch to come back the next day. "
Wang Yan frowned as he listened, but the feeling that something was wrong did not disappear.
The Foundation Establishment servant's words seemed reasonable, but when he thought about it, it did not make sense.
If he could not meet Zhao Family's Patriarch, he could have just rejected him. Why did he have to be so specific?
It did not seem like he was rejecting Zhao Family's Patriarch's invitation. Instead, it seemed like he was purposely revealing the name 'Sword Sect Lu Qingshan'.
However, the problem was that their investigation was stuck at this point. They had to find this Lu Qingshan before they could proceed with the next step of the investigation.
"Sword Sect …" Wang Yan had a headache as he pondered. "This is difficult."
The Seven Great Daoist Sects had an equal relationship with the Da Xia Kingdom. Hence, it was extremely troublesome for them to meet Lu Qingshan and ask about the situation.
