Chapter 1153 Shock

"Steward, people from the Seven Factions are back."

In Wentian City, a Piaomiao Pavilion staff member quickly entered the central hall and reported to Team Huang who had reviewed the documents after the case.

Ban Huang didn't even raise his head, "Come back together? The news came from the station where they reported that they had come back a long time ago. Why are they coming back now? Go ask them what they are doing and register them for future reference!"

The subordinates replied: "Steward, I'm afraid I can't ask. As soon as they came back, they immediately contacted the people from the Wushuang Holy Land. Now the people in the Wushuang Holy Land in Wentian City are quickly gathering, and all the people from the seven factions are guarding the Wushuang Hall. On the other hand, my subordinates made excuses to ask for the return of the mount, and refused to let him get close to him. Wushuangtang said bluntly that the mount will not be returned for the time being."

Huang Ban finally raised his head and asked suspiciously: "People from the Wushuang Holy Land gathered to protect them? What happened?"

The subordinate replied: "I don't know. It looks like he is facing a formidable enemy. No one is allowed to approach easily. My subordinates are also wondering what is going on."

Huang Ban swept away the copywriting at hand and stood up quickly, "Let's go and take a look."

The two of them went out, ordered a few people to follow them, and went straight to the Wushuang Hall in Wentian City. As soon as they arrived at the door, they were stopped, and Huang Ban was not allowed to see the people of the Seven Sects at all.

It was useless for Huang Ban to move out of his identity as the commander of Wentian City, and it was useless even to move out of Ding Wei to speak out. The other party clearly pointed out that it was Lu Wushuang's intention, leaving Huang Ban helpless.

When asked what happened, the other party wouldn't tell me.

Not seeing anyone from the Seven Sects and not knowing what was going on, Huang Ban left with a puzzled look on his face. On the way, he suddenly asked: "Is the person from Zijin Cave also in there?"

The subordinate replied: "No, there is no one like Niu Youdao among the people who came back."

Back in the central hall, Huang Ban ordered people to invite Xuan Yao to come over. He and Xuan Yao were Ding Wei's confidants, and were going to talk to Xuan Yao to come up with an idea.

Unexpectedly, the report below said that Xuan Yao had not returned yet.

After hesitating for a while, Huang Ban had to make the decision alone and ordered someone to summon Ding Wei to inform him of the situation here.

At the same time, people from the Great Yuan Holy Land were ordered to secretly monitor the movements of people in the Wushuang Holy Land. It was reported that the diet of the Seven Sects' personnel had been strictly controlled by the people from the Wushuang Holy Land. Judging from the situation, it was obvious that they were afraid that someone would kill the people of the Seven Sects.

Towards evening, the Yaohu Division received a summons. Huang Ban, who received the summons, was shocked when he saw the news. Niu Youdao was assassinated! Niu Youdao is actually dead?

The Nine Saints have strictly ordered that the power of life and death of the inspectors belongs to the Nine Holy Lands, and no one else can touch it without permission. Now, Niu Youdao, a holy inspector, was actually assassinated by a masked assassin in full view of the public!

And he was openly assassinated in the holy territory, where the Nine Saints live!

Huang Ban, who was holding the news and confirming it repeatedly, had his Adam's apple twitching, his face was quite ugly, and he murmured, "How could this happen? That guy is so cunning, how could he be assassinated so easily? Who did it..."

Thinking of the movements of the Wushuang Holy Land personnel, could it be that they already know about it?

But if you look carefully at the time when the news was delivered, and connect it to the time of the incident, it stands to reason that it is unlikely that Wushuang Holy Land would know about it in advance!

This was no small matter. Huang Ban couldn't sit still. He once again led a group of people straight to Wushuang Hall, but still couldn't get in.

Huang Ban got angry and ordered the deacon of Wushuang Hall to come out to see him and showed him the news from Yaohu Division.

The deacon of Wushuangtang, who was blocking the door under the eaves, was also shocked after seeing it. He raised his head and said, "How could this happen?"

Huang Ban said in a deep voice: "You ask me? I still want to ask you..." He raised his hand and pointed to the courtyard, "Is it related to this matter?"

The deacon of Wushuang Hall shook his head, "No, they are completely different things!"

Huang Ban: "This time, all the inspectors from the eight factions have gone out. Have they seen Niu Youdao before, or have they been with Niu Youdao?"

The deacon of Wushuangtang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "It seemed that we were together before."

Huang Ban: "What did we do together?"

The deacon of Wushuang Hall shook his head, "I'm not sure. They passed down the decree of Holy Master Wushuang and didn't let us ask too much. We just followed the holy order to protect them!"

Huang Ban: "I want to see them now."

The deacon of Wushuang Hall immediately objected, "No! Even Niu Youdao was poisoned. If something happens to them again, I can't explain it to the Holy Lord!"

Huang Ban's face was filled with anger, "Now we need to find out what happened so that we can track down the murderer in time. We don't know anything about the situation. Do we have to wait for the murderer to eliminate all clues? Even if you prevent us, how can we still do it in full view of the public? Can’t you do anything to them?”

It made sense. After much hesitation, the deacon of Wushuang Hall only let Huang Ban in, while the others blocked the door and asked what was going on without breaking into a crowd of people!

After entering and summoning people from seven factions, Huang Ban explained the situation and asked what was going on.

The members of the seven factions were shocked. Niu Youdao was assassinated and died?

It was difficult for everyone to accept this reality for a while. It was not that they felt pity for Niu Youdao and thought it was a pity to die, but they had all experienced how difficult Niu Youdao was. How could such a difficult person with extraordinary means die like this?

The elders of the seven sects kept exchanging glances, and they all realized the seriousness of the matter, which was different from what Huang Ban and others thought.

After Wuliangyuan came out, Niu Youdao once mentioned that the people involved in the matter were not trivial. He deliberately asked everyone to return from different routes. He made it clear that he was afraid that something would happen. It was obviously because he was afraid that if everyone got together, it would be difficult to stop the power of the people behind the scenes. .

Now something happened, and it was Niu Youdao himself who was responsible for investigating the case. He clearly wanted to kill people and silence them!

Being able to accurately capture Niu Youdao's whereabouts, being able to kill Niu Youdao, and daring to kill Niu Youdao under the supervision of the Holy Lord in the holy territory, it seems that the water here is not ordinary deep!

This seems to verify what Niu Youdao said. The people involved are not trivial. It can be seen that Niu Youdao has really touched the weakness of some powerful people.

Who is he who kills Niu Youdao decisively and directly, and kills Niu Youdao in one fell swoop? Everyone in the Seven Sects shuddered just thinking about it!

Seeing that the group was silent, Huang Ban said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you say anything? Since you were with Niu Youdao before, why didn't you come back together?"

Taishu Shanhai hesitated and said, "Don't Manager Huang know where we have gone?"

Huang Ban said angrily: "The whereabouts you reported were just a formality. Only you know where you went afterwards. I asked you, but you asked me about it? If I knew, do I need to ask you? I tell you, this This matter is not trivial, and if we don’t find out, you won’t be able to escape suspicion!”

Taishu Shanhai: "Guanshi Huang, it's not that we don't want to talk about it. Since you don't know, it means that Wushuang Shengzun blocked the news. We met with Wushuang Shengzun at that time. The matter involved is not trivial. If there is no word from the Holy Lord, we will not How dare you leak the news so easily!"

"You..." Huang Ban waved his hand and pointed angrily, "Do you know that if you don't know the situation, Piaomiao Pavilion will be unable to track down the murderer in time, and it will give the murderer a chance to destroy the clues!"

An Shougui, the elder of Wanshou Sect, said, "We all understand what Manager Huang said, but if there is no word from the Holy Lord on this matter, we really don't dare to leak the news, otherwise we can't afford the punishment!"

"Haha..." Huang Ban sneered, laughed angrily, but had no choice but to finally throw away his sleeves.

After the outsiders retreated, the seven factions looked at each other in the courtyard.

"Niu Youdao is dead? How could he be dead?" Mei Changhong, the elder of the Blood Temple, wondered, "That guy is 'old and cunning'. I heard that when he rescued Shang Chaozong's sister, he was besieged by a group of masters from the three major sects of the Zhao Kingdom, and there were many Even though Mr. Su participated and failed to kill him, how could he be killed so easily?"

Taishu Shanhai sighed: "Don't forget what kind of place this is. How can it be compared to the three major sects of the Zhao Kingdom?"

"It's impossible for Huang Ban to talk nonsense about such a big matter in public. It must be true." An Shougui sighed and looked around at everyone, "What should we do now? Although we have a bunch of confessions in our hands, we don't know anything about it. What are the clues? What can we do with a bunch of confessions? It seems that there is nothing interesting about it!"

Yu Hua, the elder of Split Heaven Palace, muttered: "I'm afraid this is the reason why Niu Youdao got killed!"

Thinking about it, it was indeed the case. Everyone was sighing. Niu Youdao, who was causing trouble in the outside world, died here. Everyone was trapped in this holy territory. No matter how much they hated Niu Youdao before, they could not help but feel guilty now. There is a feeling of sadness when a rabbit dies and a fox dies.

Huang Ban, who returned to the center, saw Xuan Yao waiting, and said angrily: "I couldn't find you, are you finally back?"

Xuan Yao smiled and said: "I just came back. As soon as I came back, I heard that there was something going on at the Wushuang Holy Land. What's going on? What's going on?"

Huang Ban sighed: "Something happened."

Xuan Yao's eyes flashed. He had indeed just come back, and he didn't know what happened yet. The people who knew about it all followed Huang Ban, so they couldn't find out in time, so he asked tentatively: "What happened?"

Huang Ban shook his head helplessly: "Niu Youdao is dead! He was besieged by a group of masked assassins in the wilderness and unfortunately died. This is the news from Zhou Tianyu, the deacon of the Demon Fox Division. Take a look and help me make up my mind." He took out the message from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Xuan Yao immediately took over the inspection. After looking at it, he was stunned for a while, and then slowly breathed out, "He is really dead...Who is so bold as to assassinate the inspector ordered by the Holy Lord in the Holy Realm?"

"I'm also wondering..." Huang Ban was just halfway through his words when he was suddenly startled, slowly turned his head to look at the other party, and said slowly: "Why are you back now?"

Xuan Yao: "I went to Yanyu Tower for something, didn't you know?"

Huang Ban: "Been there for so long?"

Xuan Yao: "When you go there, you have to stop for a while. You can't just run around for fun...What do you mean? You don't suspect that I did it, do you?"

Huang Ban: "It doesn't matter whether I suspect it or not. You have a feud with Niu, and you happened to be away during the period. If others suspect you, you will be really troublesome."

Xuan Yao immediately said sternly: "Huang Ban, don't talk nonsense. I have been staying at the Yanyu Building. Everyone up and down the Yanyu Building can testify."

Huang Ban: "Don't be nervous. It's best if you can get rid of it yourself. I just want to remind you not to cause trouble for sir."

Xuan Yao: "You are overthinking. So many witnesses saw me in Yanyu Tower, and dirty water cannot be poured on me."

Seeing him like this, Huang Ban didn't say much and sighed: "I'm afraid I can't stay in the outside world, sir. I can't make the decision on many things. I should report it urgently. Please come back as soon as possible." After that, he said quickly. After walking into the case, he wrote a letter in his own hand, asking his subordinates to spread the news as soon as possible.
