Chapter 502 Return
“Great Elder, according to the monks from some of the surrounding islands and the patrol soldiers from the Green Water Palace, they all saw the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, ten Dharma Protectors, and thirty-eight stewards flying over this sea area on auspicious clouds.
However, when they flew over the sea, a thick fog suddenly appeared in the sea, and then they all felt a strong fluctuation of fighting spirit, but the whole process was very short . When the fog dissipated, the third elder and his men disappeared. "A short and fat guardian came forward and bowed to Hou Li to report, his eyes unable to hide the fear in his heart.
"Are they sure that they saw the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, the ten Dharma Protectors, and the thirty-eight stewards together?" Hou Li's face became extremely solemn when he heard this.
If Tu Liao and Murong Min were not together, but were killed in two different places, Hou Li was confident that he could do it with his own skills.
But if Tu Liao and Murong Min were in the same group, and brought with them ten guardians and thirty-eight managers, Hou Li was confident that he could not do it. Moreover, to kill so many people in a short period of time, it would probably require the intervention of a true immortal.
"Yes! I have asked different people to confirm it repeatedly." The short and fat protector said with certainty.
"When the third and fourth elders were killed, were there any suspicious people in this area?" Hou Li asked after pondering for a moment with a serious expression.
"They said no." replied the short and fat protector.
"If not, then it is very likely that it was done intentionally, and the traces were deliberately hidden beforehand! But which True Immortal would deliberately want to kill the third and fourth brothers? As a True Immortal, it shouldn't be possible!" Hou Li frowned, puzzled.
How could Hou Li know that Qin Ziling had just emerged from the seabed at that time, and when he summoned the Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle, his keen soul detected Tu Liao and others, and then he hid his figure with clouds and mist so that no one noticed his presence. He did not intentionally hide his tracks from the beginning.
"Why did the Great Elder determine that he was a true immortal? Perhaps several people as powerful as the Great Elder joined forces and suddenly launched an attack. They could also kill the Third Elder and the others in a short period of time." The short and fat protector reminded after hesitating.
"What you said makes sense. I was wrong. If several people like me suddenly take action, they can indeed do this." Hou Li's body shook slightly, and he looked at his subordinates with approval, and he felt a little relieved in his heart .
If the True Immortal intended to kill Tu Liao and others, this would be a very difficult matter for the Blood Cloud Immortal Island.
Because in the millions of miles of sea area of Pingyu Mountain Blessed Land, True Immortals are the top figures.
The Blood Cloud Fairy Island has a large population and strong forces, but there is only one true immortal, the Blood Cloud Ancestor.
If several people like him took action, the problem would still be tricky, but it would be much better.
"Have the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder offended any powerful figures recently?" Hou Li asked after he felt a little relieved.
“I haven’t heard of it, but the Third Elder suffered a great loss at Qingyun Fairy Island more than two years ago.” The short and fat protector thought for a moment and replied.
"I have heard that Tu Liao encountered difficulties in Qingyun Fairy Island, and he came to me for help. But my status is different from his, so it is not convenient for me to take any action. As for the other elders..." Hou Li paused here.
It was difficult for him to say that the other elders were jealous of Tu Liao sitting in charge of Xueming Island. They were eager to see him suffer and his strength reduced so that they could snatch his position.
"Forget about Qingyun Fairy Island, they don't have the ability to do that. But Tu Liao is gone now, and he really needs to get back at us for the loss he suffered more than two years ago. Otherwise, others will think that we have no one on Xueyun Island, and even the mere Qingyun Fairy Island can bully us." Hou Li quickly changed the subject and said.
"The Great Elder means that we should go..." the short and fat protector asked uncertainly after hearing this.
"There is no rush for now. The most important thing now is to investigate the murders of Tu Liao and Murong Min. You should find out more recently to see if they have offended any powerful people recently. Also, expand the scope of the investigation with this place as the center." Hou Li said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I understand!" The short and fat protector bowed and accepted the order.
…
When Hou Li and his men arrived at the scene of the accident where Tu Liao and others had committed suicide, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing had already returned to the cave residence in the Five Elements Mountain of Qingyun Fairy Island.
As soon as the two returned to the cave residence in the Five Elements Mountain, they summoned the core disciples of the Wuji Sect and distributed a lot of training supplies to them, including the Wuchen Immortal Pill and the Wuchen Yuan Pill.
This ambush was the biggest fortune Qin Ziling had made since he arrived at Qingyun Fairy Island, except for the Blood Qilin Demon.
Especially since Tu Liao and Murong Min are the elders of Blood Cloud Island, and Tu Liao is also in charge of Blood Nether Island, both of them have a lot of resources stored in their storage rings.
Of course, the greatest resources are the immortal infants and golden elixirs that they have cultivated for many years with great effort.
Even if others took away the immortal infants and golden elixirs, it would be difficult for them to deal with them. However, Qin Ziling had the fragments of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover in his hand. Once he passed the immortal calamity of his soul and activated the fragments, the twelve rainbows of immortal power transformed by the twelve immortal infants and the thirty-eight golden elixirs would mean fifty Dust-free Immortal Pills.
Two of them are at the late stage of Immortal Infant level.
It was precisely because of this strong reserve of late-stage resources that Qin Ziling distributed some of the Wuchen Immortal Pills and Wuchen Yuan Pills as soon as he came back.
For a sect to develop, it needs both top experts and strong backbone forces.
Core disciples such as Jian Bailou are the backbone of Wuji Sect.
They were able to stand out in such a poor training environment as Xuanming Continent. Each of them has extraordinary talents, understanding and determination.
They simply lost because their starting point was too low. Now if they want to catch up and grow rapidly in a short period of time, they can only invest high-quality resources.
The Wuchen Immortal Pill and the Wuchen Yuan Pill are the top-quality resources Qin Ziling has.
After distributing some resources and storing most of them, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing went into seclusion to practice one after another.
Jian Bailou and others, after obtaining the resources, also went into seclusion to practice.
Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, in Zizhu Pavilion by the lake, Qin Ziling was sitting cross-legged by the lake, circulating his Qi and blood, nourishing and cleansing his internal organs, muscles and bones throughout his body. He felt the auras of Qu Zhong and Lian Changfeng, and stopped.
"Disciple greets Master!" Lian Changfeng bowed respectfully to Qin Ziling.
"Hello, sir." Qu Zhong followed suit and bowed respectfully.
"Sit down. What's the matter that brought you two here today?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Master, I came here with Qu Bo today and I have two things to report to you." Lian Changfeng replied.
"You say." Qin Ziling nodded.
"First, not long ago, we received news that the third elder Tu Liao, the fourth elder Murong Min and some guardians of Blood Cloud Island were suddenly killed for unknown reasons, so our Qingyun Fairy Island has lost a powerful enemy. Without Tu Liao and his men watching covetously from outside, our people can come and go without worry from today onwards." Lian Changfeng said.
Ever since Tu Liao was forced to retreat in disgrace two and a half years ago, the main figures of Qingyun Island have not dared to show their faces in public for more than two years, because they were worried that Tu Liao's people would wait for an opportunity to attack and kill the people of Qingyun Island.
"You are too optimistic. Tu Liao is from Blood Cloud Island. We prosper together and suffer together. When Tu Liao was still around, Blood Cloud Island would let him solve his own problems. Tu Liao's strength has been greatly reduced, and he thinks he can't take over Qingyun Fairy Island, so he hasn't made any moves yet.
But now that Tu Liao has been killed, it is natural that Blood Cloud Island will seek redress for the loss that Tu Liao suffered. So after a while, people from Blood Cloud Island are likely to come again, and this time they will definitely be more powerful than Tu Liao. "Qin Ziling said.
"Then what should we do?" Lian Changfeng was surprised when he heard this, and did not think much about why Qin Ziling did not show any surprise or accident when he heard the news that Tu Liao and others had been killed.
However, the old man Qu Zhong had a subtle expression when he saw that Qin Ziling did not show any surprise or accident, as if he had already known the news.
