Shenwu Batian Jue

Chapter 264 The Great Conspiracy

Su Yan had a clear plan in mind.

The series of things that happened in Xuanzhou City are all weird. From the initial drought to the current plague, it seems that there is a mysterious black hand behind it. It is definitely not as simple as a natural disaster.

In the middle of the night, after everyone was sound asleep, Su Yan, Natalya, and Dieyi cleverly broke through the pattern barrier and quietly left the safety zone.

During the daytime, Su Yan inquired from the survivors about the location where more than 2 dead soldiers were buried - in a large forest dozens of miles to the east outside Xuanzhou City.

Xuanzhou City used to be prosperous and brightly lit at night, but now it is pitch black, with the sound of "whooping" from the wind, and there is no one on the street, only rotting corpses and bones on the ground.

The houses on both sides of the street are empty, some doors and windows are open, creaking in the wind, the whole city looks extraordinarily cold, and it feels like a dead city!
Dieyi's tender body trembled slightly, holding Su Yan's and Natalya's hands from left to right, this scene was particularly frightening to her.The shadow guards were still hiding in the darkness, following behind them silently.

Gradually came to the gate of the city, the gate had already been closed tightly, and there was not a single soldier guarding the city on the wall.

Obviously, the current Xuanzhou City is not worried that someone will attack.

This city is full of plagues, no one would be stupid enough to attack the city at such a time.

The three of Su Yan left the city and found the place where tens of thousands of soldiers were buried in a short time.

This is a forest with a radius of several thousand meters.

The direction of the forest facing the city clearly showed signs of being felled, and a wide road was forcibly opened up by people.And the depths of the woods are also empty, and the trees there have also been cut down.

In the middle of the forest is an open area with a radius of one kilometer. The ground is full of fresh soil, and a bit of rancid smell can be faintly smelled from the soil.

"That's it." Su Yan stopped, turned around and looked at Dieyi: "Dieyi, step back, the next scene may be a bit disgusting, and you may not be used to it."
"No, Brother Su Yan and Sister Xiaoya can both adapt, Dieyi has to adapt herself too, it's fine, don't worry." Dieyi said with a smile.

Su Yan didn't say any more, the sooner Dieyi gets used to this kind of scene, the sooner Dieyi gets used to this kind of scene, he may face all kinds of extreme scenes in the future, if he can't adapt, it will always be a problem.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yan then held his breath, the metallic zhenqi overflowed from his palm, which evolved into a huge shovel, and soon dug a big hole in the ground in front of him.

A pungent, disgusting, rancid smell rushed towards him, and piles of armored corpses appeared.

Due to the long time of burying, these corpses have already rotted, and the faces have rotted holes, and there is no flesh and blood around the eye sockets, only the eyeballs that have not completely rotted are left.

This kind of scene is so disgusting that Su Yan can't help but feel nauseous.Natalya beside her was pale, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and Dieyi tightly covered her mouth and nose, with goose bumps all over her body.

Su Yan settled down, controlled the true qi shovel with his mind, turned it into a really big hand, and grabbed those rotting corpses.

The "hum" vibration of the true energy burned a blazing golden flame, burning the rotten flesh and blood, leaving the snow-white bones.

Su Yan observed these skeletons carefully, each skeleton was translucent white, glowing under the faint moonlight, which was quite different from what he had guessed in his mind.

"No, could it be that these defenders really died of the plague?" Su Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking carefully, always felt that the matter was absolutely impossible to be so simple. More than 2 defenders were suddenly infected with the plague, and all died violently within two days.Such a result may be able to deceive others, but it cannot deceive Su Yan.

As a warrior, he knows how strong a warrior's physique is.If these trained defenders couldn't resist the plague, then Xuanzhou City would have already become a real dead city, except for a very few high-level warriors, I am afraid that all of them would have to be turned into corpses.

"How could this be..." Natalya was also full of surprise and puzzlement, looking at the bones in front of her again and again, but she couldn't see any problems.

Just when Su Yan and Natalya were puzzled, a shadow guard appeared, walked out from the darkness, and slammed the blood thorn in his hand on a skeleton in front of Su Yan.

The skeleton was shaken apart with a "pop", several ribs were broken from it, and the pupils of Su Yan and Natalya shrank suddenly.

The fracture of the ribs turned out to be black!

Su Yan stretched out his palm and shook it from the air. The dozens of skeletons in front of him were all broken, and the inside of each broken bone was black.

"It turned out to be like this!" Su Yan finally understood and found the real reason, "As expected, there is a black hand planning all this behind the scenes. This person is too cruel and merciless!"

The shadow guard who appeared was also shocked: "Unexpectedly, the emperor sent us to escort you all the way back to the Iron Swallow Mountains, but encountered such a thing on the way. There must be a shocking conspiracy behind the incident in Xuanzhou City!"
Su Yan nodded, controlled his true energy to infiltrate into those broken bones, carefully inspected, and said: "It is not the plague virus that killed these defenders, but a strange poison. The poisoned It should not be felt at that time, and it will be too late when the poisoned person finds out. And what is certain is that the symptoms of this poisoning are almost the same as the symptoms of this plague, otherwise it will definitely not be hidden from everyone's eyes."
"It seems that the guards and others in Xuanzhou City are very problematic. Without their cooperation, how could more than 2 defenders be poisoned at the same time?" The shadow guard said coldly, with a cold light in his eyes, and the sharp point in his hand. The thorn runes lingered around, exuding a palpitating murderous aura.

Su Yan buried the corpse again, removed the traces, turned and left the woods, stopped only when he was outside the woods, looked at the silent and gloomy Xuanzhou City, and said: "Perhaps you don't know that the drought in Xuanzhou is also It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster!"
"What did you say?" Another shadow guard who was hiding in the dark also appeared, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "So, before the drought in Xuanzhou, there was a black hand who started planning this series of events behind the scenes? "
"Wait, how do you know that the drought is man-made and not a natural disaster?" asked the shadow guard who appeared first.

"It's very simple, I happen to know some spirit patterns, and I can use them to detect the situation in the depths of the earth." Su Yan pointed to Xuanzhou City and the surrounding areas, and said, "Don't say it's just the city of Xuanzhou City. There are thousands of miles of fire here. Under the earth, there are earth fire spirit veins that run through the entire boundary of Xuanzhou. Under normal circumstances, the earth fire spirit veins are contained but not emitted, and there is no heat exposed, so Xuanzhou in the past can be like spring all the year round But later, someone branded a pattern in the center of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein, drawing out the heat energy of the Earth Fire Spirit Vein."
A shadow guard frowned: "Someone planned all this behind the scenes. Firstly, Xuanzhou was droughted and a large number of refugees appeared, and then tens of thousands of defenders were poisoned to death with a strange poison, and the death of the defenders was disguised as a plague. What happened behind the scenes?" What is the real purpose of the black hand?"

"Is there any need to think about his real purpose?" Su Yan's eyes were slightly cold, "Drought started to cause a large number of refugees in Xuanzhou, and there are too many refugees, and many of them will starve to death. Once there are too many corpses of refugees, it will be too late to deal with them." , It will inevitably lead to a plague. This link is linked together, and the people behind the scenes want to disguise these as natural disasters. The conspiracy at the cost of countless lives will only have one purpose."
"What purpose?"

"Once you succeed, thousands of bones will wither away. The road that needs the bones of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people has been paved. Since ancient times, there has been only the King's Road. Its purpose should be to let these plagues spread to the point of being uncontrollable. At that time, they will be able to defeat others without fighting, and easily take down the entire Qin Dan Dynasty." Su Yan said.

"The chief guard Su means that the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is to devour the entire Qindan Dynasty?" The two shadow guards were taken aback. This conspiracy is too terrifying and their ambitions are too great!
The Qindan Dynasty has been established for thousands of years, with a long history and deep accumulation, with profound heritage and cultural heritage.If it was a struggle for power within the dynasty, it might not be too surprising to change the country name, but it is a bit of a fantasy to swallow the entire dynasty's [-]-mile territory.

"Who has such a big ambition?" The shadow guard seemed to dare to believe this fact: "Thousands of years have passed since the establishment of the dynasty, during which there have been countless wars with the surrounding ancient countries and dynasties, but it has never been difficult to hurt our dynasty. fundamental."
"Yeah, after all, this is a dynasty in the cultivation world, not a dynasty in the secular world. Unless there is a strong man beyond the Open Heaven Realm, it is almost impossible to win a dynasty. The black hand behind the scenes actually planned Such a conspiracy, at the cost of endless lives, is really terrible!"
The two shadow guards killed people like hemp, with hearts like stone, but they also felt chills for the mastermind behind the scenes. Such people have no bottom line at all, and can only be described as crazy and perverted!

"Now we can basically be sure that the garrison was bought by the black hands behind the scenes, and the old man next to him is not a pharmacist but a poison refiner. The poison that caused the death of more than 2 defenders should be made by the poison refiner. And This time the plague has spread so fast, one reason is that the defense deliberately slowed down the speed of clearing the corpses, and the other reason is that the poison refiner may have stymied it, causing the virus to mutate in a very short period of time."
Listening to Su Yan's analysis, the two shadow guards nodded in agreement.

"Head of the bodyguard Su is thoughtful, and even at such a young age, his future is limitless. So what do you think we should do now? Should we directly arrest the poison refiner and the guard for interrogation?"

"We can't move them yet, we have to pretend we don't know anything." Seeing the puzzled eyes of the two shadow guards, Su Yanxi said: "Whether they are guards or poison refiners, they can only be considered in this conspiracy. A small character. What we really need to find out is the mastermind behind the conspiracy. Only by finding that person can we truly determine which side he came from, and then we can know who exactly wants to destroy the Qin Dan Dynasty."
"How about this, one of you two shadow guards will secretly watch the poison refiner, and we will watch the guard. But according to my speculation, the role played by the guard in this conspiracy is not as important as the poison refiner. If the black hands behind the scenes If you need to convey information, you will definitely choose the poison refiner instead of the defense. Therefore, you must maintain a high degree of vigilance when watching the poison refiner, and you must not miss any details. After all, the communication method between the behind-the-scenes master and the poison refiner is not necessarily a meeting , it is possible to use other means to communicate with each other.”
"Okay, you are very thoughtful, this matter will be done as you said."
Su Yan glanced at them and said, "I'll remind you again, before you are sure enough to catch the mastermind behind the scenes, you must not do anything to startle the snake. Otherwise, the only thing we can find out in the end is They're little ones, and I'm afraid they won't be able to adjust clearly in the future."
"We know what to do, and Captain Su doesn't have to worry about that."
After the two shadow guards finished speaking, their bodies gradually weakened, and soon disappeared.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back. It won't be long before we come out. If someone finds that we are not in our residence, it may cause suspicion." Su Yan looked back at the grove, making sure that there were no traces left behind. , and then set off to return to the city.
