Chapter 92 Live to See People, Die to See Corpses

Ling Tianzong, Zongmen Square...

At this time, a large number of figures gathered together, staring at the three teleportation formations in the middle of the square.

Not only the ten outer sect elders and deacon elders, but almost all the outer sect disciples were present, and even some inner sect disciples and elders came to watch the ceremony.

Among the waiting outer disciples, some gave up the Golden Horn competition, and some, like Hou Yingfeng, were injured in the middle and quit the competition.

"Everyone, in this Golden Horn Competition, who do you think will come out on top?"

An elder in the shape of a middle-aged and strong man smiled and looked at the other elders beside him, and said lightly.

"In the opinion of this old man, Long Aotian is the strongest among the four heroes of the outer sect, and there should be no problem in winning the first title."

"That's not necessarily true. Don't underestimate Chen Xiao. Although his cultivation base is slightly weaker, his Flame Mountain Martial Spirit is a seven-star mutant Martial Spirit. He has been cultivated by the inner sect Elder Chen for many years. Don't underestimate it... Hehe"

"Elder Li and Elder Wang are both reasonable, but the old man is optimistic about that Sun Jie. It is said that his cultivation is already on par with Long Aotian, maybe... Hahaha"

"Yes, I think Zhao Yang has a good chance of winning. His Martial Spirit is a fighting Martial Spirit with extremely strong attack power. It's not bad..."

When the other elders heard the discussions of the elders here, they nodded, showing approval.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

On the Zongmen Square, the teleportation formation opened for half an hour, and many disciples returned.

Some people showed excitement on their faces, some people had deep expressions, and some people had blood on their bodies. It can be seen that the gap between the golden horns is huge.

With the return of the disciples who participated in the trial, the Zongmen Square gradually became lively.

On the other side, in the Golden Horn Valley, Chu Yan swept through the forest and rushed towards the nearest teleportation formation.

However, just as he rushed out of the woods and approached the mountain, a figure suddenly rushed out of the woods and entered Chu Yan's field of vision.

Chu Yan's figure paused, stopped, and looked towards the figure. When he saw it clearly, his brows were lightly wrinkled.

"Meng Hao!?"

That's right, it was Meng Hao, who competed with Chu Yan for the first place in the sect entrance examination, the first genius disciple of the eight-star martial arts in Lingtian Sect for decades.

At this time, Meng Hao also discovered Chu Yan, his eyes were facing each other, and his expression was complicated.

After a long time, Meng Hao, separated by a distance of several hundred steps, bowed his hand towards Chu Yan, then unfolded his body again, and swept towards the teleportation formation on the top of the mountain.

Seeing Meng Hao salute, Chu Yan was a little surprised at first, then, with a hearty smile, he returned the salute.

"This Meng Hao's strength seems to have a breakthrough!"

Chu Yan nodded, chuckled lightly, and walked towards the teleportation formation.

As soon as he reached the teleportation formation on the top of the mountain, Chu Yan saw the three outer sect deacon elders waiting.

Coming out of the teleportation array, there are crowds of people in front of them. Dozens of elders are sitting on the high platform, looking forward to the teleportation array from time to time.

Chu Yan's appearance did not cause any waves, but only a few suspicious glances were cast in several directions of the crowd.

Walking on foot, Chu Yan stood with the disciples who had returned earlier and waited quietly.

As time passed, disciples kept walking out of the teleportation formation, and finally, there was no movement.

"Two o'clock, count the number of people!"

Elder Jin shouted in a deep voice, and the originally noisy square immediately became quiet.

A deacon holding a jade talisman, his face ashen, stepped forward, and responded loudly to the report.

"Reporting to Elder Jin, this Golden Horn Competition, a total of 1,300 disciples from the outer sect participated, and there were 900 disciples from the Hui sect, which was 400 fewer. And..."

This young deacon elder, with a strange expression, hesitated to speak.

"Four hundred less!?" Elder Jin was startled, then,

recovered quickly, and continued

"Twenty percent more than in previous years, but it's okay, eh? And what?"

Seeing Elder Jin's bright eyes, the young deacon elder hurriedly replied:

"Among the four heroes of the outer sect, Long Aotian and Zhao Yang have not returned, and Chen Xiao has not returned either."

"what!?"

Elder Jin's face changed greatly, he suddenly stood up, and stared at the other party in disbelief.

Not only Elder Jin, but also dozens of other elders, and even all the disciples, all had expressions of shock and doubts on their faces.

"Elder Sun, Elder Wang, the two of you quickly go to the Golden Horn Valley to look for the remains of the three of you. You want to see people in life, and when you die...you want to see corpses!"

Elder Jin hesitated for a moment, then spoke to the two elders beside him.

Hearing the words, the two elders walked out of the crowd, handed over the orders, and disappeared into the teleportation formation.

"Okay, the outer disciples who participated in the Golden Horn Competition this time, come forward and clean up the number of Golden Horn Beast Crystals..."

Elder Jin's eyes swept in all directions, not angry and arrogant, and his voice was rolling.

As soon as the words fell, the disciples around Chu Yan stepped forward one after another and showed the golden horned beast crystals they had obtained one by one.

Most of the golden horned beast crystals captured by the disciples were within 20 pieces, and only a few people had reached more than 50 pieces.

Therefore, the counting process was extremely fast. All the disciples lined up to come forward. For those with a small number, the deacon elders just glanced at them and waved them down. For those with a large number, a special count was arranged.

Not long after, including Chu Yan, all the disciples who participated in the trial were counted.

An elder, holding a scroll of animal skin in his hand, had a gloomy expression on his face, and his eyes kept swiping on Chu Yan.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth, stepped out, walked in front of Elder Jin, cupped his hands, and was about to speak, but behind him, two figures flashed out.

It was the two elders who went to the Golden Horn Valley to find Long Aotian, Zhao Yang and Chen Xiao to return.

However, the faces of the two were ashen, and the two ran down every corner of the Golden Horn Valley.

However, apart from finding a few bloodstains, there was nothing to gain.

"Reporting to Elder Jin, the two of us searched the entire valley and searched for sixty-seven caves, but found nothing!"

Hearing this, Elder Jin and the other elders were stunned, and all the disciples were shocked.

"Can't find it? Could it be..."

Elder Jin's heart was shocked, he raised his head, his eyes were like lightning, and he swept over more than a thousand disciples who participated in the trial.

"Could it be that Long Aotian, Zhao Yang and Chen Xiao were all killed? No...impossible!"

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he frowned, shook his head gently, and directly denied it, Elder Jin kept thinking about it.

It's not just him, everyone in the square is almost the same as him. For a time, tens of thousands of people in the entire square shook their heads at the same time.

However, among these tens of thousands of people, there are two people with completely different expressions from the others. At this time, they are facing each other and chuckling.

That's right, these two are Chu Yan and Sun Jie.

When Chu Yan killed Long Aotian and Chen Xiao, Sun Jie was present, and he also saw Chu Yan's behavior of collecting the corpses.

According to Sun Jie's guess, the purpose of Chu Yan's actions was, of course, to prevent the sect from knowing that Long Aotian and Chen Xiao were killed, so they collected the bodies and dealt with them separately.

Sun Jie's idea was only half right. For Chu Yan, he dared to kill people, and naturally he was not afraid that others would find out. However, the purpose of collecting the corpses was for something else...
