此话一出,在场的修士们,全都露出了震惊的表情.谁能预料到,会发生如此恐怖的事件呢?
两个顶级宗门的继承人,竟然死于同一个人之手?
这个人真的...做得很漂亮!
其他人还没想完,玉恒就摔在桌子上,盯着在场的修士,冷冷道:"所以,听着,如果有人看到杀害我儿子的凶手,必须立即报告!明白吗?
其他修士面面相觑,齐声回应:
"玉衡真人,罗师傅,我们会不遗余力地调查此人的下落!"
"没错.希望两位前辈能照顾好自己,谁能想到我们北域的两位天才,竟然会遭遇如此悲惨的结局!
"如此了不起的人才,不仅是日月宗和剑宝阁的损失,也是北域的损失.那个杀人犯千死!
...
修士们个个一脸愤慨,但内心却只觉得冷漠,甚至有人想笑.
真的值得为这样的事情召集所有人吗?
那两个被宠坏的少年死了,他们其实觉得挺欣慰的!
玉衡的表情没有变化;她非常清楚这些人的真实想法.
她再次开口,"谁提供线索,或者帮助杀死凶手,日月宗都会厚赏你!
"嗯,剑宝阁也会这么做!"罗涛补充道.
此话一出,在场的修士们的目光顿时变得炽热起来.作为北域的两大顶级势力,日月宗和剑宝阁的宝物——珍贵的修炼功法,天级材料——是每个修士梦寐以求的对象!
It seemed... they indeed had to take this matter seriously!
However, at this moment, a shocking thunderclap suddenly erupted outside the council hall!
Boom——!!
The thunder came without warning, shaking the eardrums of everyone. All the cultivators in the hall involuntarily looked up.
The originally clear sky suddenly became filled with dark clouds, and a blinding flash of lightning danced between the clouds, illuminating a figure standing in mid-air!
"Who is this expert who has arrived in Baiyu City?!" Luo Tao shouted sharply, and the sword formation in his hand was quietly prepared.
The other cultivators were also ready to act, for the aura of the newcomer was extraordinarily terrifying!
"Everyone, don't be nervous." Yuheng Zhenren lightly waved her sleeve, her voice carrying a trace of arrogance. "It's my Dao partner who has arrived."
Sure enough, as the figure descended through the clouds, everyone could finally see clearly—it was a man dressed in a dark-colored robe, with a crescent moon symbol glowing between his brows. It was none other than the current sect leader of the Sun and Moon Sect—Zhang Xuanting!
"Ah, it's Sect Leader Zhang..." Luo Tao appeared respectful on the surface, but his heart surged with astonishment. This leader of the Sun and Moon Sect had actually made further progress in his cultivation!
The last time they met, this person was already at the seventh layer of the Heavenly Earth Realm, and now, with this overwhelming pressure... it seemed he had reached the peak of the ninth layer!
Zhang Xuanting's expression was cold as he walked into the council hall. As he passed by, all the cultivators bowed respectfully, not daring to show any signs of neglect.
"Hubby, you've finally returned!" Yuheng went forward to meet him. Since their son was killed, she had immediately sent a message to her Dao partner, who was attending a meeting in the Central State Region.
Upon receiving the news, Zhang Xuanting had immediately set out, traveling day and night to return.
"It's him! It's this person who killed our son!" Yuheng pointed at the image on the table, her voice filled with grief. "Hubby, you must avenge Yang'er!"
However, Zhang Xuanting's expression became serious, and he forced down his sorrow before speaking in a low voice, "This matter... may not be that simple. Do you know the background of this person?"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators in the hall exchanged glances. They truly had no idea about this person's identity; it seemed as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
Logically speaking, someone with such terrifying power shouldn't be unknown in the North Region... Could it be someone from another large domain in the North Juzhou?
Seeing their confusion, Zhang Xuanting slowly expressed his guess: "This person... might be a shape-shifted great demon!"
"A great demon?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was in an uproar!
Luo Tao immediately asked, "How did Sect Leader Zhang come to this conclusion?"
"At the recent meeting in the Central State Region, I learned an important piece of news." Zhang Xuanting glanced at everyone and spoke slowly, each word deliberate: "The Ten Thousand Demons Sect, which has been entrenched in North Juzhou, has started a full-scale counterattack against our human race."
This shocking secret made all the cultivators present turn pale!
The Central State Region was one of the key hubs in North Juzhou, far surpassing regions like the North Domain, a remote place.
This area was not only a gathering place for spiritual energy in North Juzhou but also the headquarters for the top powers.
The human race's major conferences were generally held in the Central State Region, while the other forces in the North Domain, except for ancient sects like the Sun and Moon Sect, were never even invited to attend.
This hierarchical structure meant that cultivators in the North Domain often learned of important events across North Juzhou months after they occurred.
Thus, the Sun and Moon Sect had always been the dominant force in the North Domain, and all secrets concerning North Juzhou were always first revealed to the Sun and Moon Sect.
Zhang Xuanting's words made the cultivators present uneasy. In fact, tens of thousands of years ago, North Juzhou was an uncivilized land ruled by demon-kind.
Humans had struggled through countless hardships to carve out a space for survival.
But the conflict between demons and humans had never ceased, and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was an organization created by the demons to deal with humanity.
However, over time, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect had always been at a disadvantage and nearly faced annihilation.
Now, it seemed... these demons were preparing to return?
"Is even our remote North Domain going to be targeted by demons...?" one cultivator asked, trembling.
Zhang Xuanting glanced at the cultivator, then spoke solemnly, "The demons are coming in full force. Many regions in North Juzhou have already seen the outbreak of war."
"Our North Domain has remained safe for now because of its geographical location, but the conflict has likely already started."
"But even so, it doesn't prove that the death of your son and Yao'er was the work of demons." Luo Tao's voice was low, but a trace of doubt flickered in his eyes.
Zhang Xuanting snorted coldly and clenched his fingers tightly, his knuckles turning white. "Since I dared to say this, I naturally have my reasons."
His voice suddenly became serious. "Do you know who I encountered on my way back to the North Domain?"
"Who?" Luo Tao asked instinctively.
"Qinghua Demon Lord!" Zhang Xuanting spoke each word clearly, his eyes flashing with cold light. "That snake demon personally admitted that the Heaven and Earth Realm cave exploration was actually a trap set by the demons!"
"And the one who carried out this task is none other than the Poisonous Enemy King, who is entrenched in the far north of the North Domain!"
"Therefore, the young cultivator in this image is very likely the shape-shifted scorpion demon!!!"
