Chapter 866: Evil Plan

"Young Master... Young Master?!"

Several elders of the Xiao family, especially those who were from the same lineage as Xiao Tianquan and had high hopes for him, left their seats and came to the upper seats without caring about their status. They felt Xiao Tianquan's breath, felt his pulse, and sensed his spiritual energy. In an instant, their faces turned pale.

Several people took out pills and stuffed them into Xiao Tianquan's mouth.

But their hands were shaking, and it took them a long time to stuff them in, which was completely useless.

Xiao Tianquan's seven orifices were horrible, and there was no breath at all.

"Really, really...dead..."

In an instant, everyone was cold all over.

An elderly elder of the Xiao family looked up at Xia Jianjian, with complaints, accusations, and resentment in his eyes.

But due to the gap in cultivation and status, he did not dare to show it too obviously, and only said with hatred:

"Xia Jianjian...what is going on?"

The Xia family's golden pills looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xia Jianjian himself frowned, no longer showing his calm attitude when facing a huge disaster.

This matter was really too strange.

He never expected that one day, someone would suddenly die in front of him, but he didn't sense any clues.

There was no sign of spiritual power and blood, nor any spiritual weapon, or any trace of Taoism.

Just like that... after drinking a glass of wine, he went crazy and died.

In the eyes of outsiders, it even looked a bit like...

He, the Immortal Yuhua, killed Xiao Tianquan!

Xia Jianjian approached Xiao Tianquan.

Several Xiao family elders were alert and wanted to stop him, but they were hesitant because of Xia Jianjian's profound cultivation and majestic demeanor.

At this time, the elderly elder of the Xiao family suddenly sighed and said sincerely:

"My son of the Xiao family suffered misfortune and died suddenly. Please, Supervisor Xia, give justice to my Xiao family."

"Elder!"

The other elders of the Xiao family were still a little indignant.

"Shut up!" The elderly elder of the Xiao family scolded in a low voice and shook his head, saying, "This matter has nothing to do with Supervisor Xia."

Xia family and Xiao family formed an alliance, and Xiao Tianquan was a key figure.

Supervisory Xia had no reason to kill their son of the Xiao family.

And even if he wanted to kill him, he would not kill him in this occasion, in front of so many elders of the Xiao family.

Before the incident happened suddenly, all the elders of the Xiao family were shocked and angry, but now they thought about it for a while and figured it out, so they stopped stopping Supervisor Xia.

Supervisory Xia approached the tragically dead Xiao Tianquan, took a quick look, and frowned even tighter.

No trace at all...

With his many years of experience in prison, he did not find any clues.

It was as if, in the midst of ecstasy, he suddenly lost his mind, could not suppress the evil spirit, suffered the backlash, his sea of ​​consciousness ruptured, and he died of bleeding from all seven orifices...

This is impossible.

Xia Jian took out a palm-sized blue jade compass from his sleeve and was about to try to figure out the cause and effect, but as soon as the thought came to his mind and his fingers moved, his pupils shrank and he immediately held the compass.

Xia Jian said nothing and slowly put the compass back into his sleeve.

But no one knew that his palm hidden in his sleeve was also trembling.

At the same time, a deep chill surged from Xia Jian's heart.

Evil spirit!

This was the most evil sign he had never felt so far, and it was the most terrifying evil spirit in the cause and effect.

Xia Jian's eyes were cold.

The method of heaven's secrets was very special. Not all cultivators would learn it, and even most cultivators would not even believe it.

But he accidentally heard a sentence from a master:

If you don't observe the heaven's secrets and don't look into the cause and effect, it's hard to predict good and bad fortune, and your fate is not up to you.

He was deeply impressed by this sentence.

Therefore, after his ascension, he tried his best to seek advice from an old ancestor in his clan with sincerity. It took him more than ten years to get the old ancestor's wisdom and pass on some of the secrets of heaven.

But the way of heaven is unique and very different from the ordinary methods of cultivation.

He started learning after his ascension, and so far, he has only learned some superficial knowledge.

But these "substantial knowledge" have overturned his cognition of the entire cultivation world.

Some things seem to be natural disasters, but in fact they are man-made disasters.

Under the seemingly stupid appearance, there are deep games and calculations.

People in the world, one by one, seem to be "independent", but in fact they are just puppets whose spiritual tracks have been set and "wound up".

And now, his cognition has been overturned again.

He personally experienced that the "great terror" that the ancestors mentioned in the cause and effect of the heavenly secrets was real...

Xia Jianzhu deeply remembered that the ancestor of the Xia family said:

"If you can calculate the cause and effect of the heavenly secrets, calculate it, and if you can't calculate it, don't calculate it."

If you can calculate it, calculate it means that you should not be afraid of wasting your spiritual consciousness, don't be lazy, and calculate the cause and effect more often when you have nothing to do. Some seemingly trivial things may hide the heavenly secrets.

"If you can't calculate it, don't calculate it" means that once you have a warning sign in your heart, stop immediately to avoid calculating what you shouldn't calculate and causing an unknown disaster.

Before, he always "calculated it if he could", but now, he encountered the situation of "not calculating it if he could".

Xia Jianzhu looked extremely solemn.

Seeing this, the elders of the Xiao family looked at each other in panic and asked in a low voice: "Master Supervisor, have you found anything?"

Xia Supervisor came back to his senses, his face was as gloomy as water, and after a moment, his eyes flashed with a gleam, and he slowly said:

"The meridians of the flesh, the sea of ​​qi and the sea of ​​consciousness are all self-destructed, and there is no trace of external destruction... Either there is a problem with the cultivation, or..."

Supervisor Xia paused for a moment, then said in a concentrated voice, "There is a powerful force of heaven who uses the cause and effect technique to cut off his life!"

As soon as these words came out, the Xiao family and elders all changed their expressions.

The secret is powerful!

"Inspector Xia, do you know..."

Supervisor Xia shook his head and sighed: "Although I have become an immortal, I am not very knowledgeable in the path of cause and effect. I just made some calculations, but I couldn't figure out anything..."

The elderly Xiao family elder frowned, and then sighed: "The only option is to go back and ask the ancestors to take action."

Inspector Xia said nothing.

Elder Xiao hesitated for a moment, bowed his hand to Supervisor Xia, and said, "I have an unkind request."

Supervisor Xia nodded, "But it doesn't matter."

The Xiao family said: "This matter is strange. To avoid causing criticism, can you please ask the supervisor to keep your mouth shut and not mention this matter to the outside world?"

Supervisor Xia said: "This is natural. It is not what my Xia family wants for things to come to this point. The nephew of the Xiao family is extremely talented and has a bright future. I am very optimistic about it. It is a pity that God is jealous of talents. I also feel very sorry for him."

After finishing speaking, Supervisor Xia lightly mentioned:

"The deceased was the elder. He may have been young and frivolous, and his behavior had some flaws, but now that he is dead, let's forget about it. If others investigate, the Dao Tingsi will say that he died in the line of duty to give his nephew some dignity."

All the Xiao parents raised their hands and said gratefully: "Inspector Xia has a kind heart, thank you very much."

Some of the elders in this group knew about Xiao Tianquan's virtues and what he had done, while others didn't.

But even if you didn't know it beforehand, seeing him die suddenly and tragically, with the horrified look on his face before his death, it was obvious that he had done something wrong and received retribution.

Xiao Tianquan is the core direct descendant of the Xiao family. He is both prosperous and destructive.

If he really committed a scandal and was exposed, it would be the entire Xiao family that would be embarrassed.

It would be great if Supervisor Xia could put the blame in the past and give the Xiao family some face.

The Xiao family said: "We will take Master Tianquan's body back as soon as possible and report it to our ancestors. He has also studied the law of cause and effect, and he must be able to find out who is the murderer behind the conspiracy against my direct descendant of the Xiao family... …”

Supervisor Xia said happily: "That's very good."

Then he looked slightly solemn and said intentionally or unintentionally:

"Tianquan was cursed to death in public. This was not only a provocation to our Xia family, but also a slap in the face of the Xiao family. The person behind it is probably an enemy of the Xiao family, and they don't want our two families to be friends, so they laid out such a trick."

"If the ancestor of the Xiao family is proficient in the law of cause and effect, he will also ask him to calculate the cause and effect here and see who is behind the scenes. Not only the Xiao family, but also my Xia family will not let this person go. "

The elder of the Xiao family raised his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Supervisor Xia, for your kindness. I will definitely report back to the ancestor and ask the ancestor to consider it."

Inspector Xia nodded.

Then the banquet came to an abrupt end.

The guests were having a great time, but unexpectedly blood was seen and lives were lost. The atmosphere at this time was somewhat strange.

The elders of the Xiao family did not dare to delay, so they buried Xiao Tianquan's body in a coffin, put away all his belongings, said goodbye to Supervisor Xia, and hurried back to the Xiao family.

Supervisor Xia watched them go away, but when he looked at Xiao Tianquan's coffin, his eyes finally showed a trace of uncontrollable disgust, and he sighed softly:

"It's a pity that it's too late to plant the longevity talisman..."

…

Xiao Tianquan died, and the news was kept secret, but after all, it was impossible to hide everything. At least there would definitely be news on Daotingsi's side.

Because Xiao Tianquan is the executive director of Daoting Division.

Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi were dealing with the follow-up matters of Rouge Zhou, and then they received a document.

This is a document within the Daoting Division that only monks above the Dian Division can read.

There are only a few words above, without any cause or effect, simple and direct:

"Xiao Tianquan, the head of the Xiao family, was brave and fearless, and died in the line of duty."

Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi were stunned, and for a moment they thought they had seen it wrong.

After reconfirming a few times, the two of them felt a surge of confusion in their hearts.

Not long after they separated, Xiao Tianquan, who was protected by Supervisor Xia in the Ascension Realm, turned out to be like this...

Dead?

The so-called death in the line of duty is just an excuse.

The real situation must be the cause of his death, which should not be disclosed to the outside world.

The two of them raised their heads and glanced at each other, with a thought popping up in their minds:

How did you die?

Or...who killed Xiao Tianquan? How?

But the two of them racked their brains and couldn't figure out who could kill the most direct disciple of the Xiao family under the eyes of the Ascension Realm?

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat silent for a while.

The two of them thought about it separately, but still had no clue.

After a while, several more official documents were handed over, all within one day. In and around the Qianxue Prefecture, there were many evil cultivators who had fled, criminal cultivators detained in Tao Prison, family disciples, and even some sect disciples. Message of sudden death.

They have different identities and different circumstances of death, but without exception, they all died tragic and violent deaths with unknown causes.

Gu Changhuai and Gu Changhuai frowned even more tightly.

"Sudden death..."

Gu Changhuai murmured.

This word always seemed familiar to him.

After a moment, he suddenly remembered what Mo Hua said in the restaurant in Yanshui City:

"Man is doing it, and God is watching. Roaring dogs do many unjust things, and they may be punished by God one day and die suddenly..."

Not only Gu Changhuai, Xia Diansi also remembered.

The two looked at each other, feeling incredible for a moment.

"ink……"

Xia Diansi started talking, but halfway through, Gu Changhuai shook his head, obviously asking her not to mention this name at this time.

Xia Diansi swallowed the name "Mo Hua" and said in a daze:

"This should be... a coincidence, right?"

She thought about it, her eyes suddenly fixed, and asked Gu Changhuai: "Yesterday you..."

Gu Changhuai nodded: "Sent him back, sent him to the mountain gate of Taixu Sect. He should be in the sect now, practicing honestly."

Xia Diansi breathed a sigh of relief.

If this is the case, it should have nothing to do with Mo Hua.

Originally, he just said a word.

It's impossible that Mo Hua "says what he says, and whoever he wants to die will die.

Xia Diansi shook his head.

But in Gu Changhuai's heart, he felt that it was not that simple.

Based on his understanding of Mo Hua, he would not say this for no reason.

It would be fine if nothing happened.

But now, what he said has come true, so this is definitely not empty talk.

He said that Xiao Tianquan "will surely die if he does too much evil", which is probably because, at that time, he had already determined that Xiao Tianquan was dead.

Why...

Gu Changhuai frowned. He had known Mo Hua for five years since he entered the Ganxuezhou realm.

During these five years, Mo Hua's height was not obvious, but his skills had improved by leaps and bounds.

And it was the kind of improvement that ordinary people could not notice.

His cultivation might not be impressive, but his formations, Taoism, and other methods emerged in an endless stream.

From the beginning, it was unpredictable, but now it has some "unbelievable" meaning.

A word becomes a prophecy, and the law follows the word.

If Xiao Tianquan's death had nothing to do with Mo Hua, he would not be surprised.

But if it was related, he would not be surprised.

Even Xiao Tianquan's life and death were determined by Mo Hua's words. Gu Changhuai now felt that this outrageous thing was not so unacceptable...

But he still buried this matter silently in his heart and did not tell anyone.

…

And in Yanshui City.

Ye Hong still did not give up the idea of ​​revenge.

Although he knew it was impossible, he was alone and had nothing to lose.

So, he was fearless.

Three days later, he finally got a piece of news after doing everything he could.

Xiao Tianquan died in the line of duty…

At that moment, Ye Hong was also unbelievable at first, and then he remembered what Mo Hua said to him.

"People do, God is watching..."

Ye Hong smiled bitterly and shed two lines of tears.

He went to the Yanshui River again, poured a pot of wine on the river bank, and sacrificed his two children who died in vain. Then he turned to the east, to the place where the Taixu Gate was located in Ganxuezhou, bowed three times from a distance, and kowtowed:

"Thank you, young master!"

"I only hope that the young master will succeed in the great way and help the world. I hope that the way of heaven will be clear and fair."

…

Xiao Family.

In a hidden and magnificent cave in the forbidden area.

The old man of the Xiao family, with white hair and black clothes, looked at Xiao Tianquan, who was killed and bleeding from all seven orifices, and was angry and trembling all over.

This was his favorite great-great-grandson.

He believed that he would inherit his mantle and lead the Xiao family to a further step in the future.

But now, his most beloved great-great-grandson died inexplicably.

The old man of the Xiao family had bloodshot eyes and a voice as cold as a pond:

"What happened?"

The elder of the Xiao family on the side did not dare to raise his head, and whispered everything that happened at the banquet, and then slowly said:

"Old man, look, is this Xia Jianjian..."

The old man of the Xiao family sneered, "He is not a fool. Why would he kill my grandson in public for no reason? Moreover, this person is very cunning, far from being as simple as you think. He will definitely not do such a thing without a beginning or an end, and make a deadly feud with my Xiao family..."

"What the old man said is..." said the elder of the Xiao family.

The ancestor of the Xiao family was angry, but then he suppressed it and asked, "What did he say when Quan'er died in front of him?"

The elder of the Xiao family said, "Xia Jian said that there was no external injury on Young Master Tianquan's body. Now he is dead, either because his training went wrong, or... he was killed by Tianji Mighty with the cause and effect technique."

"Tianji Mighty..." The ancestor of the Xiao family snorted coldly, "Where do so many Tianji Mighty people come from? Tianji Mighty people are full and have nothing better to do, and they are trying their best to kill a direct descendant of my Xiao family who has established a foundation? If he has this ability, wouldn't it be better for him to kill me directly?"

The elder Xiao didn't dare to answer.

The ancestor of the Xiao family's eyes sank, and suddenly asked, "Did Xia Jian personally calculate it? Didn't he calculate it?"

The elder Xiao recalled, "He did take out a blue jade compass and calculated it, but soon frowned and put the compass away. It seems that he did calculate it, but his ability was insufficient and he didn't calculate anything..."

The ancestor of the Xiao family nodded, and felt relieved.

"Give orders to set up the compass and prepare the cause and effect items, and then clear everyone out, seal the cave, and don't allow anyone to disturb."

"Yes."

Elder Xiao knew that the ancestor of the Xiao family had inherited a top-secret method of heavenly secrets by chance, and had profound attainments.

The reason why the Xiao family could become a fifth-grade family was largely because the ancestor used this method of heavenly secrets to avoid danger and seek good fortune.

This time, "abandoning darkness and joining the light", betraying Guishuimen, and joining the Xia family, was also calculated by the ancestor.

It was an opportunity for the Xiao family to go further.

However, this cause and effect seems to have some "accidents" now...

Elder Xiao felt a little uneasy, but in front of the ancestor, he didn't dare to say much. After everything was arranged, he dismissed others and closed the cave.

He knew that the ancestor was arbitrary and regarded this Tianji method as a treasure. When he was deducing, he would never allow anyone to peek.

The door slowly closed and the cave was closed.

The ancestor of the Xiao family was alone, sitting in front of Xiao Tianquan's body.

Not long ago, this vigorous and promising great-grandson would often visit him and call him "ancestor" obediently, but in a blink of an eye, they were separated forever, and the old man sent the young man away.

His heart was getting more and more miserable.

This "misery" also affected his mind, making him commit a taboo:

If the heart of Tao is not stable, you can't peek into the secrets of heaven and deduce cause and effect.

But at this time, he couldn't care so much.

He wanted to find out who dared to take such a huge risk and kill the pride of his Xiao family.

What's more, the inspector of the Xia family was just an immortal who had a rough understanding of cause and effect. It would be fine if he calculated it.

He was a cave-empty, and had studied the secrets of heaven for so many years. He had helped the Xiao family to seek benefits and avoid harm, and protected them from wind and rain countless times. Even if he couldn't calculate anything, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The ancestor of the Xiao family silently recited the method of the secrets of heaven, and his mind flowed, and he began to deduce Xiao Tianquan's bloody corpse.

He calculated the cause and effect of Xiao Tianquan.

But when he was calculating, he was suddenly shocked.

The secrets of heaven flowed, and the cause and effect went in reverse.

The ancestor of the Xiao family saw his great-grandson using torture and killing people outside.

He saw him on the Rouge Boat, living a life of debauchery and debauchery.

He saw him slaughtering monks in a water fort, and then sacrificed all these monks to an unknown altar...

No!

Wrong!

The expression of the Xiao family ancestor changed.

This murderer with a murderous face and fierce eyes was not the well-behaved and sensible great-grandson he knew!

Why?

Why didn't he notice it before?

What blinded his cognition?

Now that Xiao Tianquan is dead, the fog has receded, and the truth has surfaced?

The Xiao family ancestor suddenly felt a chill on his back.

He continued to deduce...

At this moment, a warning sign suddenly appeared.

But the Xiao family ancestor was emotionally ups and downs, and ignored this warning sign under the turbulence of his mood.

He wanted to know what his seemingly well-behaved great-grandson had done.

And who killed him!

Even if his great-grandson had behaved improperly, he was a member of the Xiao family and should not be convicted by outsiders.

Even if he deserved to die, he should be punished by the ancestor himself. Outsiders had no right to kill his grandson!

The Xiao family ancestor's eyes were bloodshot without him realizing it.

He continued to deduce, and soon he saw the Dragon King Temple.

He saw a group of people in the Dragon King Temple, but these people were all hazy and could not be seen clearly.

In particular, there was a ghost-like existence following them.

He had no idea whether this "little ghost" was a living person or something, but his existence was very special and could not be ignored at all.

It seemed that this little ghost was the core of this group of people and the one that Xiao Tianquan hated the most.

But this little ghost had his back to the ancestor of the Xiao family.

The ancestor of the Xiao family wanted to take a look at the appearance of this little ghost, so he consumed more of his divine thoughts and operated his Tianji method to the extreme.

But before he could figure out anything, the little ghost suddenly started, as if he noticed that someone wanted to see him.

He met the expectations of the ancestor of the Xiao family and slowly turned his head to the ancestor of the Xiao family.

When the ancestor of the Xiao family was stunned, he finally saw the face of the little ghost.

This is a terrifying, black-blooded, evil face with strange horns, as if it had just hatched from an embryo.

The little ghost grinned at the Xiao family ancestor, revealing an innocent but weird smile.

The Xiao family ancestor silently took a breath of cold air.

A chill rushed straight to the top of his head.

The anger subsided, and he finally came to his senses.

He finally realized that he seemed to have made an extremely fatal mistake.

He seemed to have... calculated something that he shouldn't have calculated at all.

The Xiao family ancestor forced himself to remain calm and silently looked away, trying to get rid of his mind from the little ghost's gaze.

But a more majestic, more ancient, and more frightening breath gradually came from all around.

It seemed that because of his disturbance, a certain evil "existence" slowly woke up from the eternal sleep...
