The foundations of all major aristocratic families are in Lanling. What benefit can such action bring to them?
Isn’t this forcing yourself to think further!?
but--
Emperor Zun was right. If there hadn't been an internal problem, things would never have reached this level in just a few days.
After thinking about this, Shen Feng broke out in a cold sweat.
"Then... we can't let them participate?"
Emperor Shitian shook his head: "No, early tomorrow morning, I will send an order and all the major families in Lanling will send people out."
A trace of confusion flashed in Shen Feng's eyes, and he soon realized it - only in this way, those people would think that they were not suspected, so as not to alert the enemy. In addition, if there is a real problem, they would be less likely to take action openly.
From this point of view, putting them in the open can be just enough to contain them.
"Emperor and Saint!"
Emperor Shitian thought for a moment and then asked: "Is there anything unusual about the bodies of those who were killed?"
Mo Qi shook his head: "Those people's methods are extremely cruel. No matter what they do, they will never leave a whole body. Most of them cannot even be pieced together. Apart from this, no other useful clues have been found yet."
The body was so broken that even the wounds could not be distinguished.
Emperor Shitian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dark light flashed under his eyes.
"Are those corpses still preserved?"
Mo Qi nodded: "Except for a few who were recognized and taken away by relatives and friends, most of the rest are still there."
He is always cautious in doing things, and the reason for this is to facilitate subsequent verification.
What if another flaw is discovered?
Emperor Shitian stood up and said, "I will go and see for myself."
…
At night, Emperor Shitian led his people to Yizhuang.
There were several coffins placed in the courtyard, and there was a strong wind.
Mo Qi whispered: "Emperor, it's easy to tell those who were killed alone, but the trouble is that those who were killed by two or more people are basically difficult to completely distinguish, so..."
Emperor Shitian nodded.
He had already expected this, so he didn't think much of it when he came here.
He stepped forward with his long legs and came to a coffin.
Mo Qi followed behind and explained: "This is the first victim. He was a casual cultivator who had been in Lanling for three years. He was the first section of Lingzong. He died in Yuwei Alley. The place was remote. When he was discovered, he had already died.
He died for about an hour."
Emperor Shitian raised his chin slightly, and Mo Qi immediately stepped forward and opened the coffin.
This coffin was specially chosen by them to protect the body from decay, but despite this, the scene was still extremely bloody.
Emperor Shitian's expression did not change, he seemed not to be affected at all, and stared at it for a few seconds.
Then, he suddenly asked:
"Where is his spiritual root?"
As soon as these words came out, Mo Qi and Shen Feng were stunned.
Because the body was so badly broken, they didn't take this into consideration.
Emperor Shitian raised his hand, and a stream of spiritual power flew out, covering the coffin like a thin light.
He closed his eyes.
After a moment, his eyelashes moved slightly and he opened his eyes, which were as dark as ink.
There was no wave in his tone, as if he had expected it.
"His spiritual roots were dug up."
Both Shen Feng and Shen Feng were shocked.
Emperor Shitian raised his eyes slightly and looked at the remaining coffins.
Shen Feng couldn't help but murmur: "The rest..."
Emperor Shitian Dao:
"That's the case."
Those people are not here to vent their anger or revenge. Their real purpose lies in the spiritual roots of these practitioners!
…
Cheng family.
In the room, Cheng Lingsu suddenly opened his eyes, and blood appeared in his eyes!
