"You saw with your own eyes the people from the Sky Fire Sect destroying the city gate. Did you catch any of the people from the Sky Fire Sect?" Meng Xinghe looked at the crowd and asked loudly.

Some city guards were just about to answer Meng Xinghe's question when Lu Xing came over. He had already simply disposed of Wei Yongnian's body.

Lu Xing said: "No one from the Sky Fire Sect was caught because they are all dead."

"All dead?" Meng Xinghe's face was full of surprise when he heard this.

Xu Qingyun also looked at Lu Xing with doubtful eyes.

"Yes, they are all dead." Lu Xing nodded, then looked behind him and said, "Bring them over here!"

Behind Lu Xing, several city guards came up carrying several special corpses. They placed the corpses on the ground and showed them to Meng Xinghe, Xu Qingyun and others.

Lu Xing pointed to a few special corpses on the ground and said: "These are the people of the Sky Fire Sect who destroyed the city gate!"

Meng Xinghe frowned deeply and looked at the corpses on the ground.

Xu Qingyun looked at it carefully.

There were four corpses on the ground at this time. These four corpses were not ordinary corpses, but charred corpses, as if they had been burned by fire, and their original appearance could not be seen at all.

Lu Xingxing explained to Xu Qingyun and Meng Xinghe: "We arrived as soon as the city gate was destroyed."

"At that time, many of us heard with our own ears and saw with our own eyes that four people were standing at the gate of the city. They shouted the slogans of the Sky Fire Sect. The Fire Sect is mighty and has great achievements!"

"However, in the next second, their bodies burned with raging fire. All four of them spontaneously ignited and turned into burning men. In the end, only these charred corpses were left."

Some city guards took the initiative to stand up and testify for Lu Xing's words, swearing:

"Yes, I can testify that what General Lu said is true."

"We saw with our own eyes that these Sky Fire Sect members spontaneously combusted. It was very scary at the time, and some people were frightened."

"Many people think that these people have done something extremely unscrupulous and were punished by the gods, so they were suddenly burned in the fire! This is God punishing them!"

Xu Qingyun, who had been examining the charred corpse, looked calm and slowly uttered two words: "White phosphorus."

He smelled a pungent special smell from these charred corpses. He could conclude that this pungent smell was produced by the burning of white phosphorus. Xu Qingyun was no stranger to white phosphorus and had studied it when he was in school.

, and when Xu Qingyun arranges formations, he sometimes uses white phosphorus.

The people who turned into charred corpses in front of them were not punished by gods at all. They died for such an unconvincing reason.

The real cause of their death was that their bodies were covered with white phosphorus powder. White phosphorus has a very low ignition point and is extremely active. It can ignite at a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius.

The body is covered with white phosphorus powder. Once ignited, it will cause a burning effect.

In Xu Qingyun's original world, this method was used extensively in various movies, TV dramas and novels, so it's impossible for him not to know about it.

These guys most likely committed suicide.

Because the smell of white phosphorus is very strong and it can be smeared all over the body, it is impossible not to detect it, and it is not colorless and odorless. If someone wants to use this method to harm him, it is impossible not to detect it. Unless they know it and are willing to do it, then it is suicide.

Why commit suicide? Because death can conceal some truths, and before death, a great drama of the Sky Fire Cult was performed, deliberately letting people see it.

The profound meaning is worthy of careful consideration.

"White phosphorus!?" Meng Xinghe groaned slightly after hearing this, and then his eyes lit up, "You are talking about flint, right?"

"Yes, it's flint." Xu Qingyun nodded, then stood up.

White phosphorus, also known as flint, yellow phosphorus.

Maybe this world is used to calling it flint, but they are all the same thing.

"If these people were covered with flint powder, it would not be difficult to create the effect of being burned by fire. This is not a clever method." Meng Xinghe was reminded by Xu Qingyun and quickly wanted to understand something.

Lu Xing squatted down, got close to the corpses, and smelled carefully. A pungent smell entered his nostrils. Although these guys had been dead for more than an hour, the smell of burning white phosphorus had not completely dissipated. If he smelled carefully, it was still...

Can smell it.

Lu Xing didn't notice it at first, but knowing that they had the smell of burning flint on their bodies, he quickly wanted to understand the cause of these guys' deaths and how the burning effect of burning fire was achieved.

Because they had never seen anyone coat themselves with flint powder before, no one thought about it at first.

Now that I know it is flint powder, everything makes sense.

"City Master Meng, investigate this matter carefully. It's not that simple. It's not certain whether these guys are members of the Sky Fire Sect!"

"It doesn't mean that if you can shout the slogans of the Sky Fire Sect, you must be a member of the Sky Fire Sect."

"Everyone can shout slogans, and I can shout them too. Does that mean I am a member of the Sky Fire Sect?!" Xu Qingyun looked at Meng Xinghe and said seriously.

Hearing this, Meng Xinghe fell into deep thought.

What Xu Qingyun said is correct. Just because they shout the slogan of the Sky Fire Sect does not mean that they are members of the Sky Fire Sect. The slogan of the Sky Fire Sect is not a secret. More than half of the people in Fengxue City know that slogan.

"I will send someone to investigate carefully. I also think this matter is not that simple."

"After these people destroyed the city gate, they could obviously try to escape, but they chose to commit suicide. This is problematic in itself."

"Of course, there is another possibility. These people have been completely brainwashed by the Sky Fire Cult and are unconscious. They blindly obey orders, including sacrificing their lives."

Lu Xing nodded, he also agreed with what Meng Xinghe said.

"City Lord Meng, I will also be involved in this matter. I will try my best to find the real culprit and avenge General Wei!"

When Meng Xinghe heard this, his expression changed: "General Wei..."

Meng Xinghe didn't know yet that Wei Yongnian had died, so Lu Xing only told Meng Xinghe everything at this time.

When Meng Xinghe heard this, he lamented. He had just appointed Wei Yongnian as the general of the Volunteer Army, but in the blink of an eye, he died in battle.

Meng Xinghe promised that when the beast tide ends, he will ask for credit from above and grant Wei Yongnian a posthumous title.

But does it really make sense?

Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.

In the final analysis, Wei Yongnian's death was caused by people from the "Sky Fire Sect" destroying the city gate. If the city gate had not been destroyed, Wei Yongnian would not have had to face the terrifying beast tide in that situation, and he might not have died.

.

Lu Xing was not wrong in wanting to find the real murderer and avenge Wei Yongnian.

Xu Qingyun was thinking while treating the injuries of dozens of city guards who had retreated.

Of the three to four hundred city guards and volunteers, only a few dozen people returned. Wei Yongnian also died in the battle, suffering heavy casualties.

At this moment, a familiar voice from Xu Qingyun came from the distance.

"Uncle! Uncle! I have discovered something!"
