Devouring Sword God

Chapter 549 Bad news

After returning to Ji's house, Yi Xiaoyao got along with these Ji's children, feeling as warm as a group of family members.

Seeing that it was getting late, they dispersed and returned to their residences.

Yi Xiaoyao also went to Ji Jinzong's side to say hello, and found a practice room, planning to start a retreat.

If he wants to win the first place in the competition of the Tiangang Ranking, his current cultivation level is still too low, so he must pay close attention to cultivation before the arrival of the Tiangang Ranking period, and try his best to break through his cultivation base.

The practice of retreat can be as short as ten days and a half months, or as long as several years or even decades, and it is extremely taboo to be interrupted in a short period of time.

However, on the morning of the second day of Yi Xiaoyao's retreat, someone came to interrupt his practice.

And it was none other than Ji Jinzong who interrupted him.

rumbling~
The heavy stone door of the practice room opened slowly, and Yi Xiaoyao walked out in doubt. When he saw Ji Jinzong and a middle-aged man beside him, he immediately felt a bad feeling.

Because Yi Xiaoyao had already greeted Ji Jinzong before, under normal circumstances, Ji Jinzong couldn't come to disturb his cultivation.

Unless, something major happened.

Moreover, looking at Ji Jinzong's face at the moment, it can be seen that what he brought was not good news.

Also, Yi Xiaoyao had some impression of the middle-aged man standing beside Ji Jinzong.

"Elder Mo? Why are you here?"

Yi Xiaoyao walked out from behind the stone gate, and recognized the middle-aged man at a glance. He was a high-status elder in the Desolation Palace, Elder Mo.

Elder Mo's complexion was even uglier than Ji Jinzong's, but when he saw Yi Xiaoyao, he showed a slightly relieved look.

"Xiaoyao, although I don't want to disturb your cultivation, there is one thing that I think it is necessary to tell you."

Ji Jinzong stepped forward first, and said to Yi Xiaoyao with a hint of apology on his face, then glanced at Elder Mo, and said to Yi Xiaoyao: "And this is also related to your safety."

"What the hell happened?"

Yi Xiaoyao frowned slightly and asked.

"Let me tell you."

Elder Mo spoke in place of Ji Jinzong: "Just last night, we discovered that the soul jade slips of the disciples who went out with you to practice together this time were all shattered!"

As soon as the words fell, Yi Xiaoyao's complexion suddenly changed, and his lips turned pale.

"what?!"

Involuntarily taking two steps back, Yi Xiaoyao felt dazed for a while, and asked again for confirmation: "Elder Mo, you mean, Senior Brother Qingkong and the others are in danger of life?"

Seeing that the other party didn't deny it, and the solemn look on his face didn't look like he was joking, he still couldn't believe it.

"How is it possible? Brother Qingkong and the others have returned to the Palace of Desolation, haven't they?"

"Besides, with their strength, how many people in this Qinghuang can threaten them?"

"Could it be something wrong with Soul Jade Jane?"

Yi Xiaoyao expressed his doubts several times in a row, showing his disbelief in this matter everywhere, and more importantly, he did not want to believe it was true.

He hoped that Elder Mo would agree with his thoughts, but Elder Mo's answer immediately made him feel as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue.

"After discovering that their soul jade slips were shattered last night, I sent a large number of people from Desolation Palace to confirm. Just before that, we found the bodies of Qingkong and the others on the way back to the palace..."

Elder Mo said with a bitter face: "And I came here under the orders of the Supreme Elder. First, I came to confirm your safety. Second, I came to protect your safety to prevent such things from happening again."

Hearing this, Yi Xiaoyao was stunned.

Qingkong and the others are really dead...

Immediately, scenes of getting along with Qing Kong and others before Yi Xiaoyao appeared one after another.

"Junior Brother Yi, let's go back to the Desolation Palace first, and have a good drink after you come back!"

This was the last sentence Qingkong and Yi Xiaoyao said, the voice was as gentle as his character, but now this sentence can no longer be realized, it has already become a bubble.

And the friendly "Junior Brother Yi" echoed in Yi Xiaoyao's heart at this moment.

These senior brothers, to Yi Xiaoyao, are also his kind family members. If you talk about it, the deaths of these family members are all caused by Yi Xiaoyao.

Because if it wasn't for accompanying Yi Xiaoyao to go out to experience the sect, they should have stayed in the Desolation Palace right now, so how could they encounter such an accident?

Thinking of this, Yi Xiaoyao's heart was immediately filled with endless guilt, which then turned into a wave of nameless anger, wanting to vent and explode.

"Who is it! Who is it, killed the senior brother and the others!?"

At this moment, Yi Xiaoyao's bloodshot eyes were red, as if he had entered a magic barrier, and he asked in a low voice.

If he could, he would kill his enemies and avenge his brothers!

"We are not sure who killed Kong and the others..."

Elder Mo sighed for a long time, and then said in a strange way: "However, we found a lot of strange things from the corpses of disciples like Qing Kong."

Yi Xiaoyao didn't speak, but wanted to continue listening to Elder Mo with his blood red eyes.

"The method of killing Qingkong and others is extremely cruel. It is not a fatal blow. It looks more like the murderer forced and threatened them to do something before killing them, and finally killed them brutally without success."

"And, as you said, with the strength of Qing Kong and other disciples, there are not many people who can force and kill them like that, even in the entire Qinghuang."

"The most important thing is that when we found the bodies of Qing Kong and the others, we didn't find any traces of fighting. This shows that the process of their killing is a crushing game. It is impossible to One or two."

Having said this, Elder Mo's expression became a little dignified.

Yi Xiaoyao also became more startled the more he listened. He seemed to be able to imagine that on the way back to the Desolation Palace, Qingkong and the others encountered a group of extremely powerful enemies and were easily subdued. At the same time, the enemy threatened them to do something. From then on, provoked the fury of the enemy, and killed them with extremely cruel means...

Even, Yi Xiaoyao could guess some of what the enemy did to coerce Qing Kong and the others.

"I think those people should be coercing Brother Qingkong and the others to lure me out."

Yi Xiaoyao said in a cold voice: "If I'm not mistaken, the main target of those people is actually me. They didn't expect that I didn't go back to the Desolation Palace with Senior Brother Qing Kong and others."

Then, Yi Xiaoyao suddenly looked at Elder Mo, and he felt that the other party seemed to have some key information that he didn't say.

"Elder Mo, other than that, don't you have anything to guess about the identities of the murderers?"

Sensing Yi Xiaoyao's sharp gaze and this question, Elder Mo's body trembled slightly.

"Have!"

After pondering for a moment, Elder Mo said: "Everyone who killed Qing Kong and other disciples used different methods, and judging from the spiritual power left on the corpse, the group of murderers should come from different sects. The strong ones are not even weaker than me!"

After Yi Xiaoyao heard such a conclusion, his cheeks twitched, but he was not too surprised, because it did not contradict his guess.

"According to suzerain's guess about this matter, the killing of my barren palace disciples this time seems to be... other major forces collectively venting their dissatisfaction with my barren palace!" Elder Mo said heavily.

Yi Xiaoyao's pupils shrank slightly, and a thick chill radiated from his body.

"Are you venting your dissatisfaction..."

The murderous intent in his voice made Elder Mo and Ji Jinzong in front of him change color slightly.

"Since we already know that this is what those big forces did, then next, these big forces will also bear the dissatisfaction I vented!"

The heavy voice came out, and Yi Xiaoyao stared straight into the distance, as if he could penetrate the void.

At this moment, he already had a firm revenge plan in his heart.
