Chapter 1254 - 1254 1240 Suspicions About Immortal City Sect

Chapter 1254: Chapter 1240: Suspicions About Immortal City Sect Chapter 1254: Chapter 1240: Suspicions About Immortal City Sect Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao hurried over, only to find that a group of masked men had surrounded the people of Lion Head Island, annihilating them. Fortunately, three or four people managed to escape; otherwise, we would still be clueless about who erased Lion Head Island’s inhabitants. The Island Master of Lion Head Island indeed perished in the chaotic battle.

Of course, the escape of those three or four people was intentional on Longhun’s part, so he didn’t ruthlessly kill everyone. Otherwise, how could those few little girls have possibly escaped? They would have already died inside.

Shao Hengjiang and his companions, amidst a pile of corpses, found the body of the Island Master of Lion Head Island. He had been hacked to death by a flurry of sword strikes, which seemed odd. He didn’t die from a single blow—it seemed as if he had been tortured. Otherwise, why else would there be so many sword cuts, even his ear sliced off? Such cruelty was rare. The Immortal City Sect guys were cruel enough, but how could they be so brutal?

Nangong Yao, with his extensive knowledge, walked around the bodies, then approached and said, “That’s right, eighty percent sure, they perished under the Immortal City Sect’s martial arts.”

However, Shao Hengjiang didn’t want to jump to conclusions so quickly, for this matter directly related to the grudges between the Thirty-Six Islands and the Demon Domain.

Guan Xun said, “These people are too cruel. How could they do such a thing?”

Nangong Yao, also harboring doubts, said, “Shao Junior Brother, do you suspect that those were not from the Immortal City Sect?”

“It’s not like false accusations haven’t occurred among our Thirty-Six Islands before. I think we should be more cautious. Don’t you find the way these people died very strange? For the sake of a Sacred Spirit Stone, why cut off their ears?” Shao Hengjiang squatted on the ground, flipping over the bodies, as if trying to find something suspicious.

“I suggest we immediately seal off Taiping Island, we can’t let anyone from Immortal City Sect escape with the Sacred Spirit Stone,” Guan Xun said.

Nangong Yao deployed his men, cautiously monitoring the island, trying to find someone from Immortal City Sect. But Taiping Island, inherently complex, was uncontrollable by anyone from the Thirty-Six Islands who was not already present. Now with the people from the Thirty-Six Islands arriving, it was even less controllable by the people from Immortal Medicine Island and Iron Ten Thousand Island.

Also, there was the Immortal City Sect—a major sect. Such actions were indeed shocking. That was why he had sent a pigeon to relay the message back to Ye Chen, because Ye Chen had come from the Central Plains and had some understanding of the Immortal City Sect.

Moreover, they had heard that the Dragon Slayer Sword was in Su Zhanze’s possession. Su Zhanze had used the Dragon Slayer Sword to defeat the Tianye Demon. If the Immortal City Sect was indeed present, then Su Zhanze was very likely to be there too. If he brought the Dragon Slayer Sword to Taiping Island, he would be difficult to deal with.

Shao Hengjiang stood up; only the word “cruel” could describe all of this.

Suddenly, messy footsteps were heard approaching from the distance. The comer was Wan Liyun, with a few followers.

Wan Liyun said, “These are the ones who narrowly escaped.”

Those were just a few insignificant lackeys, but among them were two older ones, one with a white beard.

Nangong Yao shouted, “You were also here the night before last, weren’t you?” They had already confirmed that these people had died the night before.

The four of them nodded in unison.

“You say they were from the Immortal City Sect.”

The two younger men didn’t speak favorably, but the one with the white beard said, “That’s right, it’s definitely the Immortal City Sect’s martial arts. Although they wore masks, you can’t fake martial arts. I visited the Central Plains when I was young and witnessed the Immortal City Sect’s martial arts. I swear, that was the Immortal City Sect’s martial arts.”

The other older man with a toad-like face said, “Indeed, the leader was holding a Sacred Pearl. I suspect it was either a Heavenly Pearl or an Immortal Pearl because they emitted a blue light. The light from a Demonic Pearl is dark purple.”

The shorter young man said, “Also, the leader could use the martial arts of that young man with the Wolf King’s Ring.”

Nangong Yao looked over and murmured, “What, the martial arts from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual?”

The short youth said, “I don’t know what martial arts that is, but I saw that young man’s martial arts on Sacred Spirit Island when you were fighting against Qiandu Xiang. It’s identical to the martial arts used by the one with the Sacred Pearl. I swear on it.”

Nangong Yao walked towards Shao Hengjiang and said, “That’s right, the Sect Leader of Immortal City Sect also knows the martial arts from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. It must be him. Who else could it be?”

The taller young man began to cry, “How could they treat our leader like this?”

The shorter young man said indignantly, “It must be because they thought our Island Master was unwilling to hand over the Sacred Spirit Stone, so they tortured our leader for it.”

The taller young man said, “The Sacred Spirit Stone wasn’t even in our hands; how could the Island Master have given it to them?”

The shorter one, crying, said, “They didn’t believe us, thinking we were deceiving them.”

Nangong Yao was stunned, running over and asking in confusion, “The Sacred Spirit Stone isn’t in the hands of your Island Master?”

The toad-faced guy said, “Of course it’s not in our Island Master’s possession. If it were, how could we possibly not know?”

The tall young man shouted, “I don’t even know who, without the eyes to see their own son, holds a grudge against us and insists that the Sacred Spirit Stone is in our hands. Damn it, those people are cursed and they’ll be struck by lightning sooner or later.”

Nangong Yao was even more shocked and asked, “Are you sure, the Sacred Spirit Stone isn’t in your leader’s possession?”

Those people almost unanimously confirmed it.

The white-haired old man said, “Our leader is also suspicious and wants to understand what exactly is going on, but we were struck by disaster before we could figure it out.”

“It must be the people from Immortal City Sect, they couldn’t possibly have found the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

The old toad-faced fellow said, “Of course they couldn’t have found it. The Sacred Spirit Stone isn’t with us, so how could they possibly locate it?”

Seeing the corpse of the Island Master, the two young ones cried even harder. The tall one cried and said, “How can the people from Immortal City Sect be so heartless? How could they commit such an act?”

The short young man said, “Just be thankful, okay? If we hadn’t luckily found a dog hole in the alleyway, we’d be lying in there too.”

With snot and tears, the tall one said, “They must’ve thought that by killing us all, no one would know about this matter, but heaven has eyes, and it so happened that we escaped. Otherwise, who would expose their wicked deeds?”

The short young man said to the two elders, “You have to stand up for us.” With the Island Master of Lion Head Island murdered, they were incapable of seeking revenge and could only seek help from outsiders.

“How can they be so cruel?”

Nangong Yao, followed by Shao Hengjiang to another area, now had a realization. No wonder the Island Master of Lion Head Island was covered in wounds; it looked like extreme interrogation, which seemed unnecessary, but now he understood, saying, “It seems they believed the Sacred Spirit Stone was in the hands of the people of Lion Head Island. After capturing the Island Master of Lion Head Island, and he couldn’t hand over the Sacred Spirit Stone, they didn’t immediately kill him with one strike. Instead, they pressed him to reveal the whereabouts of the Stone.”

Guan Xun muttered, “If that’s the case, then the Sacred Spirit Stone hasn’t fallen into the hands of the Immortal City Sect yet. I guess they were also deceived, thinking the Sacred Spirit Stone was in the hands of the Lion Head Island people.”

Wan Liyun nodded and added, “It looks like it. However, they have confirmed one thing, and that is that this matter was definitely done by the people from the Immortal City Sect.”

Guan Xun said, “Isn’t that obvious! With a martial arts skill that only I can execute from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, while holding the Sacred Pearl, and accompanied by disciples of the Immortal City Sect, they committed this act and pursued it to the bitter end. If those four had not been lucky enough to escape, they would have died among them as well. All of this proves that it was the people from Immortal City Sect who did it. They wanted to obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone and wished for no one to know, but destiny wasn’t on their side, and their evil deeds were exposed.”

Shao Hengjiang murmured, “If the Sacred Spirit Stone isn’t in the hands of the Immortal City Sect, then whose hands is it in?”

“Right, whose hands is the Sacred Spirit Stone in?” Guan Xun also began to wonder.

The annihilation of Lion Head Island could be confirmed, most likely done by the people of the Immortal City Sect, but to find the Sacred Spirit Stone, the origin must be traced back. Shao Hengjiang said, “We need to return to the starting point. Exactly when did the rumor start that the Sacred Spirit Stone was in the hands of the Lion Head Island people, and who spread it? Was it seen with their own eyes? We need to trace it back to the source.”

Nangong Yao, stroking his chin, said, “If that’s the case, we have to go back to when the local thug was killed because after the local thug was killed, the rumor spread that the Sacred Spirit Stone was in the hands of Lion Head Island people.”

“Right, we can now be certain that the Sacred Spirit Stone isn’t in the hands of the Immortal City Sect.”

Wan Liyun spoke up, “We need to be more cautious now. Since the people of the Immortal City Sect have come to Taiping Island, we don’t know how many there are. If they haven’t obtained the Sacred Spirit Stone, they certainly won’t leave Taiping Island. They will, like us, seek out the whereabouts of the Sacred Spirit Stone. Besides, I heard that Su Zhanze’s martial arts are very high, and he also has the Dragon Slayer Sword. The Tianye Demon was killed by him in just a few rounds.”

This reminded Shao Hengjiang.

Nangong Yao said, “It looks like the situation is more complex than we thought.” He had not anticipated that the people of the Immortal Demonic Realm would be drawn here so quickly.

Guan Xun declared, “We absolutely cannot let the Sacred Spirit Stone fall into the hands of those people from the Immortal Demonic Realm.”

Nangong Yao said, “The most important thing now is to find the Sacred Spirit Stone first, then figure out a way to confront the people from the Immortal City Sect.”

Shao Hengjiang did not speak. They had already said what needed to be said.

Guan Xun muttered, “The people from the Immortal City Sect can be so cruel. If the Sacred Spirit Stone ends up in the hands of these people, then we are truly doomed.”
