Ninth Demon Lord

Chapter 868
At this moment, someone outside the hall spoke.

"Reporting to the suzerain, Yan Da, a disciple of Yan Tuo Peak, asks to see the suzerain."

"Let him in." Xiang Qiangu said.

The crowd moved away, and a middle-aged man with a stern face came in and saluted the suzerain: "Yan Da, disciple of Yan Tuo Peak, pays homage to the suzerain."

"What's the matter?" Xiang Qiangu asked.

"Back to the suzerain, Elder Yan and his four disciples were murdered by thieves." Yan Da's expression was full of sadness.

When Xiang Qiangu heard this, his face was slightly startled, and he asked, "When did it happen?"

"Since yesterday, Elder Yan and four disciples were discussing cultivation in the garden. Half an hour ago, some disciples felt that something was wrong. When they entered the garden, they found that Elder Yan and the four disciples had been killed." Yan Da replied.

"Is it like this too?" Xiang Qiangu pointed to the four corpses on the ground.

"Yes, the head was also beheaded." Yan Da said with a sad face.

Xiang Qiangu's face was a little dignified, the matter was more serious than he imagined.

The disciples in the main hall all turned pale.Not only their elders were killed, the seventeenth elders were also killed.

This is Jun Tianzong, unexpectedly someone killed two elders and seven strong men within a day without anyone noticing.

"Let's bury the corpses of Elder Gui and the others," said Xiang Qiangu.

"Yes……."

Yun Qianfeng's disciple immediately took orders.

"Elder Duan, follow me to Yan Tuo Peak to see Elder Yan." Xiang Qiangu said.

"it is good."

Thus, Duan Baili and Xiang Qiangu left Yunqian Peak and went straight to Yantuo Peak.

The speed of the two was extraordinary, and soon they landed on Yantuo Peak.

Walking into that garden, I saw the corpses of Seventeenth Elder Yan Tuo and four disciples.

Sure enough, like Gui Yunqian and the others, their heads were also beheaded.

Judging from the appearance of the four people and the situation in the garden, it is obvious that the four people did not make a move.Of course they won't not make a move, but they don't have a chance to make a move.

Xiang Qiangu's complexion was a bit serious, while Grand Elder Duan Baili's complexion was always serious.

After all, Gui Yunqian and the other four were in the main hall, but Yan Tuo and the four disciples were in the garden.Although the garden is very large, it has no roof after all.No one even saw the murderer, so one can imagine how powerful this murderer is.

Xiang Qiangu and Duan Baili were checking the traces in the garden when several elders arrived. They also heard the news and rushed over.

Xiang Qiangu simply sent someone to invite all the elders to discuss it at Yan Tuo Peak.

An hour later, apart from the fourteenth and seventeenth elders who died, the third elder Yue Liangti who died in Tiandu, and the eighteenth elder Gu Mengyuan who went out to play, the other fourteen elders arrived.

Xiang Qiangu sat at the head of the hall, and the fourteen elders sat on the left and right.

The fifteen most powerful people in Jun Tianzong are here, and everyone's expression is very dignified.

"Elders, such misfortune has happened to the sect, which makes people sad." Xiang Qiangu looked at the crowd and said, "Only by catching the culprit as soon as possible can Elder Gui and Elder Yan rest in peace."

"Does the suzerain have any clues about the thief?" Ninth Elder Jin Duo asked.

"It can only be seen that there are more than one thief, and they must be in the realm of the sky, and they know the sect very well." Xiang Qiangu said.

"There are not many people in the world who know the sect. Could it be that a thief recognizes the sect?" Ninth Elder Jin Duo said straightforwardly.

"Although the Juntian Sect is the authentic Juntian Sect, there are not too many sky realms in the sect." Xiang Qiangu was silent for a while, and continued: "I don't believe that the few sky realms in the sect will unite. Kill Elder Gui and Elder Yan."

"What the suzerain said is very true." Duan Baili solemnly stated his position.

"Even if the thieves are not all from the sect, there should be eyeliners in the sect." Jin Duo said.

"Very likely." Xiang Qiangu agreed.

"The victims were Elder Gui and Elder Yan. The thief's insider most likely came from Yun Qianfeng and Yan Tuofeng." Sixth Elder Hang Yifei said.

Xiang Qiangu thought for a while and said, "It's possible, but even an informant must be very powerful. So this person can't be an ordinary disciple."

Everyone heard the words and felt that it made sense.

Xiang Qiangu looked at the crowd and said, "In addition to searching for thieves, we also have to be careful about ourselves. Elders, activate the defensive formation."

"Yes……."

More than a dozen elders immediately agreed that this is not a joke, everyone is very cautious.

Xiang Qiangu looked at the crowd again and asked, "Elders, is there any better way?"

Ninth Elder Jin Duo said: "When we go back to the mountain, we should check all the disciples first."

"Elder Ninth is right." Seventh Elder Liang Feng agreed.

"I'll check Yan Tuofeng, and Elder Duan will check Yun Qianfeng," Xiang Qiangu said.

"Okay." Duan Baili immediately agreed.

"Everyone go back first, mainly to check the thief's inside line, if there is any news, please let me know immediately." Xiang Qiangu said.

"Yes……."

The fourteen elders immediately agreed.

"Thank you, elders, let's go back first." Xiang Qiangu stood up.

"Sect Master, I will take my leave..."

The fourteen elders saluted and said goodbye.

Xiang Qiangu didn't leave, so he stayed at Yan Tuo Peak.

Now that Yan Tuo Peak has lost its elder, Xiang Qiangu has stayed behind, and the tens of thousands of disciples on the peak are all in danger and anxious.

Xiang Qiangu didn't ask Jieyin Peak disciples to assist him, he just selected some strong ones from the tens of thousands of disciples on Yantuo Peak, and let these powerful disciples investigate separately.

After a day and a night, another night came.

These powerful disciples gave Xiang Qiangu a clear answer, the tens of thousands of disciples on Yan Tuo Peak were not suspicious.

After Xiang Qiangu heard this, he left Yan Tuo Peak and returned to Jieyin Peak without saying anything.

Back in his study, his disciple brought him tea, and he drank it quietly.

Before a cup of tea was finished, an old woman with gray hair came in from the back hall of the study.

The only person who can directly enter the suzerain's study from the back hall is the suzerain's wife Li Xuan.

Although the suzerain's wife looks old and rarely shows up on weekdays, the entire Jun Tianzong knows that the suzerain's wife is a spiritual practitioner in the sky realm.

Li Xuan first filled Xiang Qiangu's cup with tea, and then sat down slowly.

"Ma'am, have you heard about it?" Xiang Qiangu asked.

"I heard." Li Xuan nodded.

"What do you think Madam?" Xiang Qiangu has always respected Madam, and he will ask Madam for many things.

Li Xuan looked at her husband and said gently, "I'm not going to hide it from the suzerain, I'm a little scared."

"Afraid of what?" Xiang Qiangu asked.

"I'm afraid he will show up again." Li Xuan's old eyes showed heavy worry.

Hearing the words, Xiang Qiangu's expression froze slightly: "Madam is worrying too much."

Li Xuan said with a serious expression: "Although it doesn't look like much, but besides him, who else has this ability?"

Xiang Qiangu shook his head slightly, and said: "The one who killed Elder Gui and Elder Yan was not alone. The great villain always walks alone, so it should not be the great villain."

"The villain hasn't appeared in more than 100 years. Maybe he taught his apprentices or colluded with friends, so he is not alone." Li Xuan said.

"Will the villain do this?" Xiang Qiangu was asking his wife and himself.

"So far, no one knows what that villain looks like, let alone his identity, and who can be sure that he is what we think he should be." Li Xuan said silently.

Xiang Qiangu frowned slightly, and said, "Madam's words make sense."

"Sect Master, if it's really a big villain, I'm afraid it will be another catastrophe." Li Xuan said.

"Madam, don't worry too much. Even if you are really a big villain, you don't have to be afraid. The current Jun Tianzong is stronger than the Jun Tianzong of more than 100 years ago. If you couldn't kill the big villain more than 100 years ago, you may not be able to kill the villain more than 100 years later." Destroy the wicked." Although Xiang Qiangu's tone was calm, it revealed the arrogance that a suzerain should have.

Li Xuan looked at her husband, and said with some seriousness: "Sovereign, are the brothers from the Zhan family unable to come back?"

Xiang Qiangu nodded slightly, and said: "Tiandu has come, the brothers of the Zhan family have killed innocent people in Tiandu, and they have been executed on the spot."

Li Xuan's old eyes showed unconcealable sadness: "Sovereign, should we stop?"

"If you stop now, the sect will become a joke." Xiang Qiangu looked at his wife and said.

"Sect Master, can't the sect tolerate a single martial artist?" Li Xuan said these words with great determination.

Xiang Qiangu looked at his wife and said helplessly: "When I ascended the position of suzerain, the ancestor told me that if there are martial arts practitioners who cross the gap, they must be eradicated."

Li Xuan was not surprised by this explanation at all, she asked: "The suzerain let go of Feng Ting several times before, did the ancestor ever blame him?"

Xiang Qiangu replied: "Feng Ting was not considered powerful before, and the ancestor never blamed him. But now, he actually killed Elder Yue and the brothers of the Zhan family, which shows that he is too powerful. He can no longer stay."

"Sect Master, do you know why the Patriarch does not allow powerful martial practitioners to appear?" Li Xuan asked.

"I don't know." Xiang Qiangu shook his head slightly.

Li Xuan sighed helplessly, looked at her husband and said, "In the past few years, the sect seems not to be very quiet, and the suzerain is probably going to be tired."

Xiang Qiangu said with a smile: "Madam, although you and I are very old, we are not too old to be tired."

"The suzerain is not old, but I am really old, and I always feel a little tired." Li Xuan said a little weakly.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Xiang Qiangu asked with concern.

"It's okay, but sometimes, I feel powerless." Li Xuan said.

"Ma'am, don't worry, I will go to see the ancestor again, and ask the ancestor for a few health pills." Xiang Qiangu said hurriedly.

Li Xuan quickly shook his head and said, "Sect Master, please don't bother Patriarch with my little matter."

"In my heart, Madam's affairs are all important matters, bigger than anything else." Xiang Qiangu said with a smile.

Li Xuan looked at her husband and smiled softly: "Husband, you made me happy again."

"My words are from the bottom of my heart." Xiang Qiangu said like a young man, patting his chest.
