It was unbelievable. At least, it was hard for him to accept it at the moment. He carefully checked again. There was no mistake. Niu Youdao was really dead!
This was a big joke! Zhou Tianyu's Adam's apple moved for a while. He quickly turned around and shouted angrily, "Did you see it clearly? Who did it?"
Everyone shook their heads. "I couldn't see it clearly. They were all masked assassins. No one showed their faces."
Zhou Tianyu's face was gloomy. He said with a ferocious expression, "Immediately mobilize all the large flying beasts and chase after them at all costs. I want to see the corpse if he's dead, and the person if he's alive!"
"Yes!" Everyone obeyed and quickly went their separate ways.
"Deacon, do you want to send someone to the gathering point first? The other brothers might take another route and won't be able to see us then …"
Just as one of the Demon Fox Bureau's personnel reminded, Zhou Tianyu turned around and shouted at him, "Don't you know what's important at this time?"
To him, this matter was blown out of proportion. What was Niu Youdao's identity? The inspector appointed by The Lord had died in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. If the murderer could not be caught, it would be hard to explain himself. Everyone knew that Niu Youdao had a grudge against the Demon Fox Bureau.
According to his original intention, it wasn't a good thing that the Demon Fox Division had a hidden danger like Niu Youdao. He wanted to kill Niu Youdao, but he didn't want to kill him in such a way. If he wanted to kill Niu Youdao, he had to be prepared first. He couldn't bring trouble to himself.
The masked assassins could have assassinated Niu Youdao anywhere else, but they had to come to the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. It was obvious that they wanted to frame the Demon Fox Bureau.
Currently, the Demon Fox Bureau's personnel who were involved in the clean-up had seen Niu Youdao being killed. There were people from the Nine Sacred Lands, so it was impossible to hide it. With so many people seeing it, it was impossible to frame the Demon Fox Bureau without any preparation.
It was clear that someone in the Sacred Lands had defied the Nine Sacred Decrees and killed the inspector!
There were masked assassins here. Anyone would be a suspect. Who could guarantee that it was not done by the Demon Fox Bureau? In the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, the Fox Demon was the most suspicious!
He could imagine the consequences. If they could not catch the assassin and clear their names, they would immediately be captured and interrogated. They might not even be able to keep their lives!
How could he not be anxious?
Although he was anxious, he still had to face the situation. After venting his anger, he said in a deep voice, "Go to the rendezvous point with two people first. When the other brothers arrive, immediately restrain them and don't let them run around!"
"Also, when Niu Youdao is being assassinated, all members of the Demonic Fox Bureau who participated in the clean-up must be clear about their positions. They must explain clearly and have witnesses."
He turned around and pointed at the scene. "Search carefully. See if you can find any evidence related to the assassin. Don't let go of any clues!"
"Yes!" Everyone received their orders and carried them out. All of them had serious expressions on their faces as they gradually realized the severity of the situation.
The Nine Saints had already emphasized that no one else had the right to decide the life and death of the inspectors, yet someone still tried to kill them. What kind of character was this?
Everyone went their separate ways.
Niu Youdao's mud-covered corpse had already been placed on a grassy hill in the swamp. Zhou Tianyu walked over and slowly squatted to the side. He examined the corpse and found that there was a large bloody hole in the back. It was obvious that he had suffered a powerful attack.
According to the witnesses, and looking at the condition of the injuries, Niu Youdao had most likely been killed by the power of the Heavenly Sword Talisman.
Pulling out the treasured sword from the corpse's tightly clenched fingers, Zhou Tianyu wiped away the mud on the sword and looked at it. He then handed it to the person beside him. "Keep it for future investigation!"
The deceased had clearly died with his eyes wide open. Zhou Tianyu looked at him and sighed. "Niu Youdao, ah, Niu Youdao, you were a talent of your generation. It is such a pity that you died like this. But then again, why did you come here? You could have died anywhere, but why did you have to die in front of us? You better bless us in heaven that we catch the culprit. That way, we can clear your name. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will be in deep trouble because of you. You won't let us, the Fox Demon Division, off even in death! It's my bad luck to meet you! "
He stood up and let out another long sigh. "Send a message to the Heaven Seeking City, report this matter, and request the Misty Pavilion's cooperation in catching the culprit!"
They had not been able to catch the culprit yet. The news that came later proved that the culprit had obviously come prepared, and was prepared for a quick escape.
The assassin had already arranged for reinforcements. Halfway through the chase, the large flying beast that was waiting for the assassin quickly soared into the sky. By the time the Fox Demon Division's flying beast arrived, the assassin had already disappeared …
The muddy water bubbled. Beside a mountain forest, two people emerged from the swamp. It was Heiyun and Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao was in a sorry state. His clothes were torn, his hair was disheveled, and his face was pale. His nose and mouth were bleeding, and his hands were torn. He staggered as he walked, relying on Heiyun's support. It was obvious that his injuries were not light.
There was nothing he could do. The twelve Sky Sword Astral Shadows suddenly attacked him, and he could not dodge them all.
It was all thanks to him, thanks to the Qian Kun Transformation ability, and the fact that it was not his first time being attacked by the Sky Sword Talisman. He knew the weakness of the talisman, and had a certain amount of experience in dealing with it. If it was anyone else, they would have died.
In the entire cultivation world, there were not many who could be more attacked by the Sky Sword Talisman than him.
Seeing that he could not even walk steadily, and there was still blood seeping out of the corner of his mouth, Heiyun could not help but sigh. "I said that I can do it. Why do you have to come personally when you are so injured? Don't you trust me?"
To be honest, after witnessing the scene of Niu Youdao being attacked by the Sky Sword Talisman, even as a bystander, he was shocked. The final result proved that the person who could withstand the old clan leader's attack was not simple.
In fact, Niu Youdao was also surprised. He did not expect that Xuan Yao would use the expensive Sky Sword Talisman to kill him.
Even if the information provided by Rulai Sha was excluded, Niu Youdao could be sure that Xuan Yao was among the assassins based on the Sky Sword Talisman alone!
In order to kill him, Xuan Yao had to come personally to witness his death before he could be at ease!
Niu Youdao shook his head miserably. "No, I have to come. They will not believe you. Moreover, with your identity, they will see through you if they stay in contact with you for too long. They will not leave with you."
That made sense. Heiyun shook his head and gave up, continuing to support him.
The movement of landing alerted the three people in the forest. Hiding and spying, they saw Niu Youdao. Kun Linshu, Qin Guan, and Ke Dingjie quickly came out to welcome him.
"Daoye, what happened to you?"
"Elder, who injured you?"
When they saw Niu Youdao's wretched appearance, the three of them were greatly shocked. They hurriedly asked and took Hei Yun's arm to support him.
"I'm fine. I won't die." Niu Youdao waved his hand weakly, indicating for them not to make a fuss.
"Who are you?" Qin Guan stared at Heiyun and asked cautiously, "Who injured Elder?"
This seems to be his own fault … Heiyun scratched the corner of his mouth and lifted his chin at Niu Youdao, indicating for him to ask Niu Youdao himself.
Niu Youdao said weakly, "Alright, we are all on the same side. Don't be so long-winded. I will explain to you later. This place is not suitable for us to stay for long. Someone might search this place. Let's go now! "He looked up at Heiyun." Please lead the way! "
Heiyun gestured for the three to take care of Niu Youdao and turned to lead the way.
Kun Linshu carried Niu Youdao on his back. Qin Guan, Ke Dingjie, and Qin Guan quickly followed behind Heiyun.
Along the way, they flew on the ground and snuck under the swamp. The three of them took turns to carry Niu Youdao and finally arrived at an underground palace buried deep under the swamp.
What they saw along the way had already caused the three of them to be bewildered. When they arrived at the underground palace, they saw groups of demon foxes playing around. The three of them were even more shocked.
Had they barged into the nest of the demon foxes? If not for Niu Youdao waving his hand to indicate that it was fine, they would definitely suspect Heiyun's intentions!
Under the escort of several Fox Clan Elders, they settled Niu Youdao in a quiet room in the underground palace.
Heiyun gestured for Niu Youdao, who was meditating, to quickly meditate to heal his wounds. Niu Youdao waved his hand again to indicate that there was no hurry. He pointed at Heiyun and said to Kun Linshu and the other two, "This is the Fox Clan Leader, Heiyun!"
"Ah!" The three of them, who had already noticed that something was amiss, could not help but be shocked.
Niu Youdao said, "Don't be shocked. I am with them. We are all on the same side. You can be at ease. I am very safe here, and you are also very safe. They will not harm you. I don't have much energy now, so I won't waste my breath on you. If there's anything you want to know, wait until my wounds have healed. I only have one question for you now. Do you trust me? "
The three of them looked at each other. They could not come up with any other answer at this time. They replied one after another, "We trust you!" But the uncertainty in their eyes could not be concealed.
Niu Youdao said weakly, "Alright! For everyone's sake, I will temporarily put the three of you under house arrest for a period of time. You will not be allowed to go out and show your faces. Can you accept this? "
House arrest? The three of them looked at each other. It was a difficult question to answer.
Niu Youdao said, "Clan Leader, seal their transcendence energy. Let's do it!"
Heiyun gestured with his hand. A few elders immediately stepped forward and were about to execute the order.
Kun Linshu and the other two instinctively faced each other with their backs facing each other. They instinctively went into a defensive position. How could they be so easily sealed by a random person, and a demon fox at that!
Niu Youdao said, "What are you trying to do? My words don't work, do you? Do you want me to do it myself? "
"Elder …" Qin Guan said awkwardly.
Niu Youdao said, "What are you talking about? You go first. Clan Leader, you do it yourself. "
Heiyun immediately walked in front of Qin Guan and chuckled. "Brother, I'm sorry." Suddenly, he quickly reached out and pointed at Qin Guan's body, placing a restriction on him.
Qin Guan instinctively wanted to resist, but with Niu Youdao staring at him, he did not dare to resist. Instantly, his transcendence energy was restricted.
Niu Youdao continued to call out names. "Ke Dingjie, come forward yourself."
Ke Dingjie looked like he was in a difficult position. Finally, he braced himself and took the initiative to move in front of Heiyun. Heiyun did not stand on ceremony and quickly made his move.
"Kun Linshu." Niu Youdao called out again weakly.
Kun Linshu stared at him. He clenched his fists but did not move. He allowed Heiyun to come forward and place a restriction on his body.
However, Heiyun seemed to have gone overboard. Kun Linshu staggered backward from the force of the finger. With a "pfft" sound, he coughed out blood. He was already injured.
"Brother Kun!" Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie were shocked. They quickly went forward to support him. Ke Dingjie asked in shock, "Elder, what is the meaning of this?"
