Chapter 162 It Doesn’T Matter, I Will Run Away
Chapter 162: It doesn't matter, I will run away.
Long Yan could already confirm that the death of Lianhua was definitely not simple.
If she had truly died from going berserk, there wouldn't be so many inconsistencies.
What's strange is why the Profound Heart Sect would cover it up. Could it be that they themselves killed Elder Lianhua?
But that shouldn't be the case, right?
Long Yan's perception talent was extremely strong, and her intuition was also very keen.
However, her analytical and reasoning abilities were slightly lacking.
Here, she clearly sensed that something was amiss, but she couldn't explain it. Faced with the smiling disciples who received her, she could only make a new request—to visit Lianhua's sleeping quarters.
Entering the sleeping quarters, Long Yan carefully observed her surroundings.
But this place had already been tidied up, the smell of blood was still there, but it had become very faint.
However, Long Yan still felt that something was off.
She mobilized her spiritual power, and her two fingers brushed across her eyes, causing her pupils to turn a reddish-gold color as she began scanning the room.
She saw resentment, death, and killing intent.
The places that had been cleaned up had regained their bloody appearance in Long Yan's eyes.
Blood was everywhere; Elder Lianhua must have endured great pain before her death.
Long Yan couldn't help but think of what Zhang Chi had said, that the one who annihilated the Iron Sword Gate and had a grudge against them, could it be because of Elder Lianhua?
Long Yan finally managed to piece everything together.
But she still lacked crucial evidence and hadn't grasped the exact connection between the Iron Sword Gate and Lianhua.
"I must find the key clues..."
As Long Yan thought this, her gaze suddenly froze. Her line of sight had just swept across Elder Lianhua's bed, and she vaguely felt that something was amiss.
She put away her Divine Ability and began searching around the bed, knocking and touching, until she finally saw a small formation.
This formation was extremely exquisite, blending in with the carvings on the bed, making it impossible to see this concealed formation.
Visually, there didn't seem to be any problems.
And after breaking the formation, it became easy to find what was hidden beneath it.
Upon opening it, she found a silk box over a meter long.
The silk box was locked, but Long Yan forcefully dismantled it, opened the box, and revealed the scroll inside.
The disciple who received her saw that Long Yan had indeed discovered something, and her mood became somewhat nervous.
But just as she was about to come closer, she was ordered to back off by Long Yan.
"What are you trying to do, destroy the evidence? I've long since realized that something is off with all of you.
Lianhua definitely didn't die from going berserk. I will definitely investigate this case to the end!"
"..."
They were in trouble.
Our sect has already let go of our own internal deaths, so why are you doing this?
After driving away others, Long Yan quickly opened the scroll.
As soon as the scroll was opened, a chilling Yin energy emanated from it.
It was a painting, depicting many men, each with different poses and appearances, but all exceptionally handsome.
As the painting unfolded, these men seemed to come alive, smiling at Long Yan and emitting a bewitching aura.
The world before Long Yan's eyes seemed to change in a trance, and a group of beautiful men appeared before her, teasing and showing off their charm.
Long Yan immediately became furious.
"You dare to show off your petty skills here? Pathetic!"
Long Yan let out a dragon's roar, and all the evil spirits instantly dissipated and retreated into the painting, but Long Yan's expression was not good.
This was clearly a Law Weapon made by refining the souls of living people, and moreover, this Law Weapon had no killing effect or any means of trapping people.
In other words, it was purely an entertainment prop.
But just for such a toy, there were so many living souls inside!
Such behavior was more ferocious than the demonic path!
At the very least, people in the demonic path, when they extract souls, do it to become stronger.
They don't do it purely for the sake of playing with people, which is undoubtedly more cruel.
As the scroll unfolded, Long Yan also learned the name of this painting.
It was called the Hundred Beauties Painting, and there were already more than eighty beautiful men on it, with the souls of more than eighty people trapped inside.
How could someone with such a strong sense of justice as Long Yan not be angry?
"Your sect is really good at hiding dirt. As the head of the Alliance Enforcement Hall, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Seeing the chilling scroll in Long Yan's hand, the disciple who received her also knew that trouble was brewing.
But at this moment, she was also very clever and said, "Elder Liang Hua is the one responsible for all this. You also know that elders have a high degree of autonomy, and the sect may not necessarily know what she has done!"
This is where the characteristics of a major sect come into play.
They can do anything, but they are experts at shifting blame.
Just don't stick to anything.
Upon hearing this, Long Yan's face also stiffened. They were pushing all the responsibility onto the deceased Liang Hua, and she really couldn't do anything to the Profound Heart Sect.
"Hmph, don't you have any responsibility for lax supervision?"
"Yes, yes, we will definitely conduct a strict self-examination and self-correction. We are also very sorry for these people."
Admitting mistakes, apologizing, but not taking responsibility. This is the attitude of the Profound Heart Sect.
Long Yan was helpless, absentmindedly unfolding the scroll to the end. When she saw the last person, her heart trembled and she quickly rolled up the scroll a bit, afraid of being seen by others.
The last person in the painting was Zhang Chi!
Unlike the others, Zhang Chi's painting was lifeless, just a mere representation.
While others were vivid and lifelike, it was because their souls were inside.
And Zhang Chi's Divine Soul is not present, the contrast is naturally obvious.
At this moment, when Long Yan saw Zhang Chi, she suddenly understood.
Iron Sword Gate, Elder Lianhua, Little Warehouse Mountain.
What connects them all is Zhang Chi!
However, Long Yan still only had speculations in her heart, without concrete evidence.
Moreover, Zhang Chi doesn't seem to have the ability to resist Elder Lianhua and Iron Sword Gate.
There are still many details that need to be investigated, but if this painting is seen by the people of the Profound Heart Sect, Zhang Chi might be in trouble.
The first thing that came to Long Yan's mind was Zhang Chi's safety, not so-called fairness and justice.
Seeing this painting, she knew what kind of person Elder Lianhua was.
The so-called compassion for flowers is fake, the true nature is to destroy them ruthlessly.
Fortunately, she is dead, otherwise Zhang Chi would be the next victim.
So, the motive of the attacker is also obvious.
Did they discover that they wanted to target Zhang Chi, so they secretly killed them?
Could it be that Zhang Chi's background is actually extraordinary, and he has a very powerful protector behind him?
With such thoughts in mind, Long Yan quickly put away the painting and was about to leave in a hurry.
She wanted to have a conversation with Zhang Chi.
"Hey, Elder Long, please leave behind Elder Lianhua's belongings."
"This is not a belonging, but evidence of guilt. Is the Profound Heart Sect planning to attack law enforcement personnel?"
Shocked by these words, the people from the Profound Heart Sect had no choice but to stop.
If other members of the Law Enforcement Hall were attacked, it would be fine. They could handle it afterwards.
But this person is the biological daughter of a certain ancestor. Who would dare to really lay a hand on her?
Anyway, it's just a small problem. They can just shift the blame later.
In this way, Long Yan took the painting and headed straight for Little Warehouse Mountain.
Today's Little Warehouse Mountain is indeed lively. Before Long Yan arrived, visitors from the Dragon Transformation Palace had already arrived.
Elder Fengqi, accompanied by dozens of Foundation Building Stage disciples from the Dragon Transformation Palace, arrived at Little Warehouse Mountain with great momentum.
Most of the disciples of the Sword Sect are below the Foundation Building Stage, and there is only one mid-stage Divine Soul Elder. Elder Fengqi, on the other hand, is at the peak of the Divine Soul stage.
With fewer people on this side, it is enough to wipe them out.
With such a powerful and imposing presence, it quickly caught Cai Yu's attention.
"Who goes there!"
Cai Yu felt that as a senior of the Cai Yu clan, in the absence of someone in charge of the Sword Sect, she should step forward.
Elder Fengqi, seeing that the Sword Sect only sent a bird, was also very dissatisfied and said coldly, "Go and call your master to come out and receive orders."
"Heh, you old thief, you're really ugly and have poor taste. How dare you disrespect Princess Cai Yu like this!"
Elder Fengqi didn't expect to be humiliated by a bird. He was so angry that he was about to take action and pluck the bird's feathers.
Anyway, their goal today is to wipe out the sect, so this bird that can talk certainly cannot be spared.
At this moment, Zhang Chi came out.
"Esteemed guests have come from afar, and I apologize for not being able to welcome you properly. However, this elder, please understand that Princess Cai Yu is not a spiritual pet of our sect, but a descendant of the Phoenix Clan, visiting our sect."
When he heard the descendant of the Phoenix Clan, a faint smile appeared on Elder Fengqi's lips, clearly mocking and disdainful.
"A lowly bird dares to claim to be a descendant of the Phoenix Clan? Only someone like you with no knowledge would believe that."
"You old thief, how dare you insult me like this!"
Cai Yu jumped up and was about to peck at people, but Zhang Chi held it back and comforted, "No no no, Princess Cai Yu, it's not elegant to argue with others. Leave this matter to me."
After comforting Cai Yu, Zhang Chi looked at Elder Fengqi and said, "May I ask who this elder is and what is your purpose here?"
"I am Elder Fengqi of the Dragon River Alliance's Law Enforcement Hall. I suspect that your sect is involved in a theft case with the Talisman Treasure Sect. I request your sect's cooperation in the investigation. If there is any resistance, we have been authorized to execute on the spot."
Elder Fengqi had already prepared his speech and even took out the official document signed by Yin Xun.
The black and white words on it were clear.
"The Talisman Treasure Sect was stolen? What does that have to do with us?"
Zhang Chi's face was full of injustice.
Gu Youyou was also very shocked.
"This Yin Xun is too amazing. How could he guess that it's related to us?"
"He's just a damn troublemaker. Isn't it obvious that he's picking a fight?"
Zhang Chi had actually anticipated this. When they couldn't find any results, the other party would take a series of actions.
For example, the most straightforward and decisive action would be to seek help from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
There is a branch of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in Longcheng, and their calculations are always accurate.
However, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion also needs time to complete their calculations.
So, even if they went to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion immediately after the incident, it would not be possible to find the Sword Sect so quickly.
Under these conditions, if they still managed to find the Sword Sect, there is only one possibility.
They got lucky.
These bastards are just taking advantage of the situation.
Hidden in a document is a hidden killing intent.
It's like a beautiful country suspecting that you have nuclear weapons in your home.
If there is resistance, execute on the spot. What if there is no resistance?
Huh, I say you resisted, then you resisted.
Since that's the case...
"Second Brother, get ready to run!"
There is one more chapter, by the way, there was a bug in yesterday's chapter, so I made some changes.
When I'm dizzy, my brain isn't very clear, and I don't even know what I wrote, but I still managed to write two chapters. I feel much better today after recovering from a cold, and my thoughts are much clearer.
