Chapter Twenty-Two: Suspicious Formation

traordinary talent for martial arts.The precious Qi-Opening Pill would never be wasted on a child born at home. It was only because Old Master Liu fought against all opposition that he was given one.A...All eyes were on him.

Jiang Wang frowned and asked, "Did you kill him"

This is not a good phenomenon.

The time has not yet come, and already people have died.

This means that the competition next will be very fierce and brutal!

The unique nature of the Heavenly Treasure Realm makes it an island of humanity, where ethics, morality, and laws... all human rules are powerless to bind.

In any civilized nation, murderers are punished by law. Supernatural beings can kill countless people with a flick of their finger, but almost no supernatural being who wants to live in the sunlight would do so.

Even extraordinary cultivators have to bear the consequences of killing.

Therefore, those cults and heterodoxies have become like rats crossing the street, despised by everyone and shunned from society.

In the Tianfu Secret Realm, all worldly restraints cease to exist.

Because here, no one will know what you do and you don't have to be responsible for anything.

Therefore, anything is possible.

Those who commit evil deeds often conceal their faces, and those who plot against others often hide their names.

A great Confucian scholar once said in the Mugu Bookstore: "Human nature cannot be tested in darkness, because human nature itself is darkness."

The monk wearing a wealthy hat looked grim. "It wasn't me!"

Let me know if you have other content you'd like me to translate!

This man had a flat nose and dark complexion, looking unattractive to begin with. His face darkened further, becoming more than just unattractive; it was downright frightening.

I see.

About everyone rushed to the main hall after hearing the sound, some arriving before others.

>

Of the four remaining people, none likely saw Tian Yong's death with their own eyes. So they just vaguely circled the cap of riches, but no one made a move.

Here is your translated text:

"Isn't it you" the woman standing in the northeast corner said coldly. "I heard the sound and rushed over. It wasn't even three breaths of time, and you were already standing beside Tian Yong's body. Could you be faster than me"

"Seven breaths."

“Five breaths.”

“Six breaths.”

The other three quickly reported back. Some had rushed back from the front hall, some from the back hall, and others went to the Chiyu Pavilion to search for more clues.

“You all are looking at me as I rush over,” Jiang Wang said, meeting everyone’s gaze.

Fu Gui Mao's face turned even uglier: "Of course I was faster, because when I heard the sound and turned around, he was already dead!"

“Then that’s even more interesting,” the woman sneered. “Perhaps you were scared off by your own ugliness”

"You!"

The wealthy monk's demeanor was indeed lacking in respect. Hearing this, he flew into a rage: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I didn't kill the person. But if you want to cause trouble, come ahead!"

"Lian Que, don't get angry just yet. Tell us what happened." An elderly cultivator spoke up.

He should know the Rich and Noble Hat monk, but their relationship is not particularly close.

Although he spoke words to help the sparrow, the figure blocking its path didn't budge.

Standing in front of Jiang Wang was a man wearing a long cloak. He should be exploring in the same direction as Jiang Wang, just behind him.

After Jiang Wang appeared, he silently moved to the side, maintaining a sufficient level of vigilance.

At this time, he also said: "Yes, tell me how you killed Tian Yong, the heir of the Tian family in Dazi County, who had many treasures on him"

His voice was unnaturally cold, sounding devoid of humanity.

The magpie glared at him angrily, but he wasn't a fool and didn't want to draw a crowd.

He patiently explained, “I was originally going to the back hall to seek opportunities, but then I suddenly remembered that I hadn't thoroughly searched the main hall. Although others had probably already searched it, it wasn't as reassuring as doing it myself. So I turned back.”

I just happened to run into Tian Yong in the hall, he had just returned as well. We chatted for a bit, exchanging some information. I didn't want to search for clues in front of him, so I decided to head to the back hall first. Suddenly, I heard his scream. I turned around and saw that he was dead.

"Before we could even investigate the cause of death, you all came!"

“If what you say is true, then who could have killed Tian Yong in such a short amount of time And how could they do it without letting Lian Que notice Is there anyone below the Tenglong Realm who is that strong” the woman questioned again.

"Perhaps. But he's not in this Dragon Palace, and if it were him, he wouldn't be hiding." The aged cultivator said.

The woman's expression stiffened. She knew exactly who this person was talking about. "Since Wang Yiwu isn't here," she immediately said, "then it's clearly Lian Que who is lying. How can it be that Zhao Fangyuan, you of the Si Hai Merchant Association, are still going to protect the people of the Lian family"

A wizened cultivator shook his head: "I just feel that the opportune moment hasn't arrived yet. There's no need for us to fight to the death. Of course, if Liánquè chooses to strike first, we might as well eliminate him from the competition."

Once you enter the circle of contention, there is only one way to survive: kill.

The four Hai merchants who spoke up to defend Lian Que, seemed to be helping him, but they were the first ones to show hostility towards him!

A hooded monk muttered in agreement, “Indeed.”

The nun from the northeast corner also stealthily approached two steps.

Actually, whether or not it's the case, every fewer competitor means more opportunities for oneself.

Especially, the Chi Yang Lian family had a very high status, and Lian Que's strength was extraordinary.

Such an opponent being eliminated early is undoubtedly a good thing for competitors.

"Since there were no opportunities presented, they just kept killing each other. Isn't this a bit hasty" Jiang Wang walked a few steps towards the hall.

First of all, he doesn't agree with the judgment that Lian Que is the murderer. Secondly, these three people are subtly forming a small group. If they are allowed to kill Lian Que at this time, then after tasting the sweetness, they are very likely to follow suit and drive others out of the game one after another.

This is very detrimental to him being alone here, so he has to stop it.

"Perhaps it's poisoning." The tall man standing at the entrance of the main hall said.

He remained silent until now, when he finally spoke.

It's better to examine Tian Yong's body first and find out the cause of his death. We can make a decision later.

"Then," Zhao Fangyuan said, "who is good at autopsies"

The Qi state was commercially prosperous, and the power of its trade guilds should not be underestimated. Its two largest guilds, the Jù Bǎo Guild and the Sì Hǎi Trade Alliance, both possessed powerful military forces comparable to those of prominent aristocratic families.

As a member of the Sihai Merchant Alliance, Zhao Fangyuan was naturally not afraid of Lian Que. However, at this time, Jiang Wang and the tall man both expressed their opposition. Even if the remaining three of them teamed up, it would only be a three-on-three situation, so they had to let him go lightly.

“I’ll do it,” said the tall man. “My name is Ji Xiu from Dongwanggu, and I have studied the art of autopsy.”

Dongwanggu is a world-renowned medical sect, and this origin is indeed convincing. At the same time, Dongwanggu is an independent sect and does not belong to any country. Its stance is relatively impartial.

Lian Que glared at Zhao Fangyuan, as if ready to fight to the death. But he still stepped aside to let Ji Xiu come over and check.

Jiang Wang's death is of great importance, and the cause of his death is crucial to everyone's personal safety.

>

If they were poisoned, they need to know what poison it was so they could protect themselves.

If it was a murder, they would need to know who the perpetrator was. Was it another cultivator who came with them, or a hidden danger lurking within the Dragon Palace

Even if they were killed by the common sparrow, they would need to eliminate this dangerous element.

Just as Ji Xiu walked up to Tian Yong's corpse, crouched down, and was about to begin the autopsy...

A sudden change has occurred!
