After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 368 Miao Yin Is Investigating The Case

The return journey was smooth, and when they reached the boundary of Dragon River, Miao Yin and Long Yan separated.

In terms of etiquette, she should have gone to Dragon Transformation Palace, after all, Long Yi was the leader of the Dragon River Alliance and had sheltered the Dragon River Alliance for many years.

But Miao Yin was eager to return home at this moment, and Dragon Transformation Palace had lost a Long Yi, while the Celestial Melody Pavilion had been destroyed.

Both of them were feeling sad, and Miao Yin couldn't care about the proper etiquette for others.

After parting ways with Long Yan, she hurriedly made her way to the Celestial Melody Pavilion.

The chaotic spiritual energy caused by the disturbance of the spiritual veins was still affecting the surrounding cultivators. This time, without Jin Ling'er's help to stabilize the spiritual energy, it would be impossible for the spiritual energy to recover and be absorbed by people in a short period of time.

Nevertheless, many people still came to the Celestial Melody Pavilion.

Most of the people who came here were coveting the inheritance of the Celestial Melody Pavilion. Although the Celestial Melody Pavilion had been destroyed, there were still some things left in the palace.

Including various Law Weapons, elixirs, as well as various books and techniques collected by the Celestial Melody Pavilion.

This scene was just like the Talisman Treasure Sect back then.

When the Talisman Treasure Sect was destroyed, many cultivators wanted to seize the sect's inheritance. However, later on, the four major sects joined forces to control the Talisman Treasure Sect, preventing the inheritance from leaking out.

Now, Miao Yin looked at the bustling scene of the Celestial Melody Pavilion, feeling a sense of desolation in her heart.

Indeed, the Celestial Melody Pavilion had been destroyed.

Miao Yin didn't have the mood to control those who were taking advantage of the disaster. With the Celestial Melody Pavilion gone, what use was there for these possessions?

At this moment, Miao Yin felt inexplicably sad. She took out her flute and began to play.

This was her elegy for the Celestial Melody Pavilion, and it was also the manifestation of her truest emotions.

Everything was an impromptu performance by Miao Yin. The sound of the flute floated gently, evoking sad memories in the hearts of those who heard the music.

For a while, no one cared to search for treasures anymore. They were all immersed in a state of sadness.

Some cultivators with high cultivation quickly realized that something was wrong, but the music was so moving that they were gradually drawn in. Just as they were about to break free, the next second, they were pulled back in by the music.

For a while, everyone within the Celestial Melody Pavilion area who heard the music burst into tears and felt a surge of sadness in their hearts.

Those with low cultivation who didn't realize they were being controlled were fine, but those who knew they were being controlled and still had to cry were truly miserable.

Miao Yin had no intention of controlling these people. She was just expressing her emotions. Two tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. This was her mournful song dedicated to the Celestial Melody Pavilion.

After the sadness came anger and killing intent. The flute music carried a chilling aura, snowflakes filled the sky, and the wind was as sharp as a knife, awakening those who had just been crying.

A surge of killing intent surged in Miao Yin's heart. This was her determination to seek revenge for her sect.

Those who heard the music trembled, and even some Divine Ability Realm cultivators were affected and found it difficult to break free from Miao Yin's musical control. Was this the terrifying aspect of the Celestial Melody Pavilion?

Indeed, the secret technique of the Celestial Melody Pavilion was extraordinary.

However, at this moment, they dared not have any more thoughts. The true master had returned with great power. If they didn't know what was good for them, it was likely that listening to a song would be the least of their worries.

The Immortal Cultivation World emphasized that might makes right, and Miao Yin's strength was strong and justified.

If there had been a Divine Ability expert left in the Talisman Treasure Sect back then, the sect's inheritance would not have fallen into the hands of others.

"Fellow Daoist, let's take the Divine Ability and leave now!"

A Divine Ability cultivator began to plead, voluntarily putting down what he had found in the Celestial Melody Pavilion. Others followed suit, taking advantage of their current clarity to quickly beg for mercy.

At this moment, the music still carried a murderous intent. If they didn't leave soon, Miao Yin might really kill someone.

The voices of everyone begging for mercy finally reached Miao Yin's ears.

She had no intention of killing anyone, but these people had ruined her mournful song, making her mood even worse.

"Get lost!"

She coldly spat out two words, not wanting to say anything more to these people.

The people present felt as if they had been granted amnesty, quickly putting down what they had obtained and hastily fleeing the scene.

Miao Yin's mournful melody came to an end and did not continue.

She began searching for clues at the scene. Although the Celestial Melody Pavilion was already in ruins, she still hoped to reconstruct what had happened through her own investigation.

The current Celestial Melody Pavilion was a mess, a battlefield that had suffered the most devastation.

It all started with the explosion of spiritual veins, causing the pavilions and towers to collapse one after another. Then, Long Yi's thunder and fire wreaked havoc. Some treasures and techniques were able to be preserved, thanks in part to the initial earthquake burying many things.

The treasure hunters had relied on their own efforts to search and excavate.

As for the deceased, there were not many bodies left at the scene, but there were piles of ashes, indicating the ferocity of the situation at the time.

Miao Yin carefully searched and finally found a half-burnt piano in a pile of ashes.

Seeing this damaged half of a piano, Miao Yin no longer held any hope. Originally, she had been thinking that Miao Qin, with her high cultivation, might have a chance to survive.

After all, Miao Yin's body was not found at the scene.

However, her piano was here.

Miao Yin, of course, recognized Miao Qin's Law Treasure. As long as the piano was here, so was Miao Qin. If the piano was destroyed, so was Miao Qin.

Miao Yin sorrowfully caressed the charred half of the piano, and an image also appeared in her mind: Miao Qin lightly plucking the strings, one by one, until all seven strings snapped.

"This is... the Silent Annihilation Melody!"

Miao Yin recognized this spell. Perhaps she was the only one in the entire Celestial Melody Pavilion who knew this spell.

The Celestial Melody Pavilion had long been situated beneath the Dragon Transformation Palace. Although there was no open conflict, they were still wary of the Dragon Transformation Palace.

Over the years, the alliance appeared united on the surface but engaged in hidden struggles behind the scenes. Miao Qin had always been on guard against the Dragon Transformation Palace.

But she knew very well that all the conspiracies and calculations were meaningless. When it came down to it, it still relied on strength.

So after years of research, Miao Qin developed the Silent Annihilation Melody.

This was not a technique of killing and fighting, but a sacrificial technique.

Sacrificing everything of oneself and bestowing it upon another person, allowing them to greatly increase their strength in a short period of time, perhaps even breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm.

After all, Miao Qin herself had reached the pinnacle of Divine Ability.

If the sacrifice was not for a breakthrough, then it would be meaningless.

Of course, this backup method was extremely cruel, and she did not make it public. The person chosen by Miao Qin to bear the sacrifice was Miao Yin, which was why Miao Yin knew this secret.

However, when the incident occurred, Miao Yin was not present, and Miao Qin realized that involving Miao Yin in this matter would not be beneficial, so she did not call Miao Yin back in advance.

After showing Miao Yin the final scene, the remaining spirituality of the broken piano dissipated, turning into a piece of rotten wood.

Miao Yin held this piece of rotten wood, but more and more questions filled her mind.

Miao Qin died after using the Silent Annihilation Melody, so who did she ultimately sacrifice herself for? (End of this chapter)
