Chapter 283: Undercurrents are surging
The sects that entered the top four of the Sword Debate Ceremony all had their own thoughts, and they were all preparing for the next competition. And when these sects were secretly calculating their gains and losses, a lot of things happened in the cultivation world.
In the sphere of influence of the Five Spirits Sect of the Western Spirit Domain, in a village, the lights were bright, because something had just happened here.
"Pavilion Chief, how did you see how this person in our Niujia Village died?" Surrounded by lights, a middle-aged man dressed in coarse cloth was talking to a bearded man.
"Village Chief Niu, don't worry, I have checked this person and found no wounds, I have already sent someone to ask the cultivator of the Five Spirit Sect stationed nearby, I hope he can give us an answer!" The bearded man is the local pavilion chief, and the middle-aged man is the village chief of Niujia Village.
The reason why Niujia Village is brightly lit is because a murder has just happened here.
The deceased was a family of five who lived outside the village. This family is very honest, usually gets along well with the neighbors, and is also the long-term resident of Niujia Village. Just tonight, a black wind suddenly blew outside the house, and when the black wind receded, curious villagers came over, only to find a frightening scene, this family of five was lying flat in the yard, their faces became dark, and their whole body was covered with skin and bones, turning into five dried corpses.
What's more, the family had no wounds on their bodies, and there were no signs of being baked by the heat. And even if there is a high temperature baking, it should not be so fast, the men in this family are still working in the fields during the day.
"What's going on here?" Just when the people of Niujia Village were panicking, several figures came from far and near to the outside of Niujia Village.
"Three adults, there was a bizarre murder in Niujia Village, you see those people lying in the courtyard!"
These people who came were none other than the monks of the Five Spirits Sect who were guarding the vicinity.
Within the sphere of influence of the Five Spirits Sect, the disciples of the Five Spirits Sect were extremely highly respected, even surpassing the official power here. There is no way, the world of cultivation is the world ruled by the cultivators, and the kingdom of the mortal world must also be courteous to the cultivators, otherwise it is inevitable that the country will be ruined.
"Let's take a look!" the leader frowned, leading the other two into the courtyard.
After a long time, the men came out of the courtyard with solemn faces.
"Did anything special happen to these people before they died?" the three cultivators had obviously seen the clue, but they didn't say it directly, but asked.
"Yes, before we found out that this family was dead, there was a black wind blowing outside his house, which was very terrifying!" said the head of Niujia Village.
"It seems that I am right, you don't have to worry, we will be here for the time being, and soon there will be a sect disciple coming. After the man finished speaking, he took out a jade talisman from his arms, and after making a gesture in his hand, the jade talisman turned into a streamer and disappeared.
Not long after, a few more figures came to Niujia Village.
"Door Master, you are here, we suspect that a few people here have been sucked dry of yang energy by the ghosts of the Ghost Domain, I'm afraid that our Five Elements Gate is not capable of solving it now!"
"If it's really a master of the Ghost Domain, we really have to be careful, send someone to send a message to the sect, just say that there are ghosts in the realm of our Five Elements Gate!"
When the Heavenly Five Extremes sent people to the Five Spirits Sect, many people had already gathered in the Five Spirits Sect, and these people were all from the affiliated sects of the Five Spirits Sect.
"I already understand your situation, it seems that these ghosts in the ghost domain want to take advantage of the sect master to participate in the sword ceremony, and take the opportunity to make trouble, you go back first, I will send someone to support you!" said the chief elder of the Five Spirits Sect.
"Elder, I have already sent everyone out, it is estimated that I will be able to leave the result soon, I think this matter should be told to the sect master first, it is not a normal phenomenon for ghosts to appear on such a large scale!" At the side of the main Dharma Protector Elder, Gu Yundao, the hall master of the Yin Yang Palace.
"I think so too, I want to let Chen Wei go, this matter is very important, you are not happy to leave, and a few Dharma Protector Elders need to sit in the sect now, so they can only work hard Chen Wei!"
"That's it!" Gu Yun and Chen Wei beside him both nodded slightly, Chen Wei was indeed the most suitable to go. As a master of the Heavenly Law Realm, his strength is not weak, and he has the Yin and Yang Magic Technique to protect himself, and he is not afraid of ghosts and ghosts.
"I'll go tomorrow!" Chen Wei knew that the situation was urgent, but it was already late at night, so he decided to leave tomorrow the next day.
At the same time, in the Ice and Snow Holy Sect of the Northern Spirit Domain, the atmosphere was also very solemn.
"Send someone to report to the sect master, the master of the demon domain has appeared, let's let the sect master decide what we should do next!"
It turned out that it was not only the Five Spirit Sect that had trouble, the Ice and Snow Holy Sect also had a share, a few days ago, within the sphere of influence of the Ice and Snow Holy Sect, people were constantly killed by strange people, and it was finally confirmed that it was the master of the Demon Domain who did it.
In the Taixuan Hall of the Taixuan Sect, the same things as the Five Spirits Sect and the Ice and Snow Holy Sect are also taking place.
"The appearance of the master of the Demon Domain this time has brought us a lot of losses, and the specific next step is to wait for the sect master to decide after asking the sect master!" In the territory of Taixuanzong, there was also an incident of mysterious death, and the final investigation result was done by a master from the Demon Domain.
In fact, the Five Spirits Sect, the Ice and Snow Holy Sect and the Taixuan Sect are not alone, while these three sects are scrambling to deal with the attacks of foreign masters, several other major sects are also in the same trouble, but the people who come out to make trouble there are not only ghost domain masters, demon domain masters or demon domain masters, but a team mixed up with the three foreign regions.
Of course, there were no similar incidents in the two sects far away in the Middle Spirit Domain, because the Middle Spirit Domain, especially the Heavenly Sword Sect's sphere of influence, had the elite power of the nine major sects sitting in charge, and those foreign masters seemed to know this.
Under the pressure of the three major exotic invasions, most of the nine major sects have entered a state of intense preparation, ready to deal with emergencies at any time, and the entire cultivation world can be said to be an undercurrent, and I don't know when something big will happen.
The sect masters of the nine major sects who were far away in the Middle Spirit Domain and the holy sons who came to participate in the Sword Discussion Ceremony did not know what was happening in the sect, even if the sect closest to the Middle Spirit Domain wanted to pass on the news, it would take ten days for the event to happen.
At this time, a new round of battles in the Sword Ceremony has begun.
