Five mummies, all of whom were martial arts practitioners during their lifetimes.
When Di Xin heard this, two words flashed in his mind.
Warlock.
And he is also a warlock who has entered the realm of illumination.
Martial arts cultivators cannot suck all the blood from a person's body in an instant, not even a great innate master. It's not that martial arts cultivators are not strong. This is a limitation of the cultivation system.
This is something that only a magician who can interfere with reality with his thoughts can do. After all, a magician's magical power comes from the god he visualizes, so it is not surprising that a vampire's magical power appears.
Although I don't know what the purpose of this warlock is, it is obvious that the appearance of a warlock who has no scruples in killing people indiscriminately can cause great panic in the border land.
Ouyang Xuan's next words also confirmed Di Xin's conjecture.
"According to the Lord Chasi's guess, it was the work of a warlock."
Ouyang Xuan said: "Similar incidents occurred in different places later. Every deceased was a martial artist before his death, and they were all sucked into mummies in the end. There were even people from the government among them."
"In order to prevent this person from continuing to kill people, and in addition to his demonstrated strength, the prosecutors from several places in the border area and Taicang Prefecture decided to jointly handle the case and arrest or kill this person as soon as possible."
"It's just that, despite the fact that the officers of several police departments are working hard, there has been no progress in this case until now."
"The only thing that can be determined is that something similar happened in the Turks not long ago."
Ouyang Xuan said half thankfully and half comfortingly: "The murderer is not a Turk. This is the only good news."
Di Xin could understand Ouyang Xuan's mood.
Ouyang Xuan is a pure military commander, which can be seen from his unwillingness to participate in the fight for the throne among the princes.
And such people have the deepest feelings for their comrades who fight alongside them.
With the strength shown by the murderer now, if it is confirmed that he is a Turk, then one day in the future, when Dali and the Turks go to war, Dali will inevitably suffer heavy losses because of this person.
This is something Ouyang Xuan cannot accept at all.
At the same time, Di Xin had a doubt in his heart.
"As far as I know, although there are differences in different places, the martial arts in Chasi in each place are basically based on the martial arts of the future."
"Although there are many martial arts practitioners involved in handling the case this time, it is not that easy to deal with an Izhao Warlock. With the strength shown by the Izhao Warlock this time, An Chasi may even suffer heavy losses."
"You should know this?"
When Ouyang Xuan heard this, he showed a cunning smile, and then lowered his voice and said: "Although this matter is confidential, Your Highness also has the right to know."
He said: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, in this alliance with Chasi, there are two martial arts cultivators who are in the perfection stage of the day after tomorrow, five martial arts cultivators in the late stage of day after tomorrow, and more than a dozen martial arts cultivators in the middle and early stages of day after tomorrow. There are also a few who are responsible for detection.
The visualization magician.”
"But these are all bait."
"Bait?" Di Xin asked back.
Ouyang Xiu continued to lower his voice and said: "Yes, the dead mummies are all martial arts cultivators without exception, and the martial arts cultivators who die later have higher levels of cultivation. Therefore, according to Chasi's judgment, martial cultivators are the target of the murder."
Di Xin nodded, this can be easily seen.
"The border area is vast and sparsely populated. Finding someone in such a large place is like looking for a needle in a haystack. In addition, the scope of the murderer also includes Turks outside the border area, making it even more difficult to kill someone."
Ouyang Xuan said: "In that case, why not let the other party jump out on his own?"
"So you planned this arrest and used a large number of warriors as bait?"
Di Xin did his job of complimenting him well and at the same time glanced at Ouyang Xuan.
His current behavior doesn't look like someone who only knows the basics.
But Di Xin figured it out in a blink of an eye.
Ouyang Xuan is the son of the commander Ouyang Lie, and Ouyang Lie is one of the best managers in Taicang Mansion.
Although their father and son were at odds over something, if Ouyang Xuan wanted to know something, it wouldn't be very difficult.
Ouyang Xuan continued: "The adults of Chasi master a set of combined attack formations, which are enough to defeat the warlocks who cross the border and enter the Zhao Realm."
"And in the secret, there is an innate grand master specially invited by Chasi. Even if one party may not be the opponent of the murderer, the combined strength of the two parties is enough to defeat the other party."
Emperor Xin nodded.
Two perfect-stage acquired ones, five acquired late-stage ones, plus a dozen early- and mid-term martial arts cultivators, such a luxurious lineup that basically no one would be willing to use them as bait.
After all, if an accident occurs to all of these people, it will be an unbearable loss even for the relatively abundant martial arts border. It will more seriously affect the strength of the border and make it unable to cope with the Turks' attack.
Therefore, based on the arrangements made by Cha Si, no one would have thought that this would be a trap.
But it can also be seen from this point that the history of the warlock who went around killing martial arts practitioners has made everyone unable to withstand it, otherwise Chasi would not have taken such a dangerous move.
After thinking for a moment, Di Xin suddenly turned his head and asked a willow tree not far away: "Mr. Zeng, what do you think of this matter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a person walked out from behind the willow tree.
Ouyang Xuan was suddenly startled when he saw an old man with a stooped back and wearing a moon-white Taoist robe walking out from behind the willow tree.
When did this person appear there?
Ouyang Xuan subconsciously stood in front of Di Xin, and when he heard Di Xin's name, he quickly guessed the old man's identity.
In the lobby of the post house a few days ago, the news of the appearance of the Xiantian Grand Master had already spread throughout Taicang Mansion.
Ouyang Xuan had a deep memory of this. After all, the only person who vomited blood that day was his father, who was the only martial arts cultivator in the acquired perfection stage at that time.
And it was not until today that he saw the true appearance of this great innate master for the first time.
The Xiantian Grand Master has been able to perfectly control his own blood and Qi, making it so integrated that no breath will leak out unless he deliberately does so.
Of course, the so-called perfection is always relative. At least the so-called perfect control of martial arts master Di Xin cannot be overstated by describing it as full of loopholes.
This is also the reason why Zeng Hongshen was able to hide Ouyang Xuan but not Di Xin.
However, Zeng Hongshen has become accustomed to strange things. He has seen many unusual behaviors in Di Xin and has never regarded him as an ordinary acquired warrior.
"This man is fierce and I am no match for him."
Zeng Hongshen said something about inspiring others, but there was no expression on his face.
Ouyang Xuan's expression changed slightly. Although he had already guessed that the murderer was powerful, he still couldn't fully accept it coming from the mouth of an innate great master.
Faintly, he began to worry about his colleagues in the Chasi Division.
