Chapter 897 The Murderer Must Be Yuhua Xianmen!
In the headquarters of Shangqing Xianmen.
The melodious bell rang nine times in a row.
This is the bell that summons the elders for discussion if there is an emergency within the door.
A moment later, inside the main hall.
The atmosphere was a little dull.
They had already learned the news that Deng Zhonghun's soul card was broken.
It has been nearly a million years since the Shangqing Immortal Sect had lost any senior members at the elder level.
Although Deng Zhong is not very strong among the elders, he has been reincarnated and re-cultivated, and only has the cultivation level of a pseudo-immortal.
But his status as the elder of the Shangqing Immortal Sect is the biggest talisman.
The Shangqing Immortal Sect is the undisputed overlord of the Second Heaven. Not to mention the small forces in the spiritual world, even those three-star forces will never dare to attack Deng Zhong as long as he reveals his identity.
"What do you think?"
In the silence, the sect leader Ling Tian spoke.
A white-haired old man with a serious face and a skinny figure spoke.
"I think you misjudged it, Sect Master."
Ling Tian glanced at the old man.
If anyone else said that directly, he would probably get angry.
But this one, even he has to give some face.
This is Tai Shuyuan, the second elder of the Shangqing Immortal Sect. Although he is ranked second, his strength is still higher than that of the first elder Zhu She. He is currently the strongest person in the sect besides Ling Tian. He usually rules In many affairs of the sect, the prestige is also the highest among the elders.
He was the only one who dared to directly accuse Ling Tian to his face.
Therefore, Ling Tian was not angry, but asked: "Oh, why did the second elder say this?"
Tai Shuyuan said in a deep voice: "Before that, the sect leader should first tell us whether he saw anything from the fragments of the Ninth Elder's soul tablet."
Ling Tian shook his head: "If I saw something, my sect would have told me a long time ago. Could it be that our sect leader would deliberately let it pass?"
"Even if this sect master used the secret method, he could not get a glimpse of the Ninth Elder's last death from the fragments."
"There is only one possibility for this situation to occur."
"That means the Ninth Elder used his Void Spirit secret method to transform into a Void Spirit body."
"In this case, only he knows what he saw."
The second elder, Tai Shuyuan, nodded: "If this is the case, it means that the enemy is no small matter. The ninth elder who can force him to transform into a virtual spirit body still cannot escape his poisonous hand."
"Does the sect master think Zhong Qing, a Three Tribulation Emperor from the lower realm, is capable of doing this?"
Ling Tian fell silent.
He had to say that this was indeed unlikely.
As we all know, the lower realm is shrouded in curses. Once it is contaminated, it is impossible to break through to the pseudo-immortal realm.
And the strong ones above the false immortals, after being contaminated by the curse, can no longer go further and cut off their path.
Although the Ninth Elder Deng Zhong only has the strength of a first-level pseudo-immortal, it is enough to say that he was defeated by some heaven-defying Three Tribulations Emperor using some special means. He even used the virtual spirit body, but he still couldn't escape, and he didn't even have a chance to escape.
Not to mention the Three Tribulations Emperor, even the third-level or even fourth-level pseudo-immortals do not have this ability.
The second elder said solemnly: "That's why I said, it's Sect Master that you misjudged."
"I felt something was wrong from the beginning. How could a commoner from the lower world, a cursed Emperor of Three Tribulations, have the guts to steal things from my Shangqing Immortal Sect, kill people from my Shangqing Immortal Sect, and dare to come here? Realm? Is he going to die?"
As soon as these words came out, many elders agreed.
First of all, the opponent was contaminated with a curse, and even with the Xuanjian of Heaven and Earth, he could not break through the pseudo-immortal.
Secondly, you have offended the Shangqing Immortal Sect and still run to the second heaven. How stupid is this? Since he has the strength to kill Deng Zhong, wouldn't it be much safer just to stay in the lower realm? Who is willing to take the risk of cutting off the road and go down to the next world to kill people?
The second elder continued: "There are only two possibilities for him to dare to do this. One is that he was not an emperor from the beginning, but a pseudo-immortal, not an ordinary pseudo-immortal, at least above rank four."
"Either, although he is just a great emperor, there is a strong man above rank four pseudo-immortal behind him."
"No matter what kind of person it is, this person is probably not a native of the lower world, but a person from the second heaven from the beginning, and his origins are extraordinary!"
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
The second elder's eyes darkened and he scanned the crowd.
"We were plotted from the beginning!"
"The sect leader came up and decided that it was just a native from the lower realm. This was a misjudgment, which led to Deng Zhong's death!"
Being accused like this in front of so many people, Ling Tian didn't get angry.
If he didn't have such a big heart, he wouldn't be able to become the current leader of the Shangqing Immortal Sect.
He just nodded and said in a deep voice: "The second elder said that this was a misjudgment by our sect and we should not jump to conclusions lightly."
"So according to Second Elder, what is the truth?"
The second elder's eyes flashed and he spoke.
"It's actually not hard to guess."
"Looking at the entire Second Heaven, there are not a few two-star or even three-star forces with powerful pseudo-immortals of rank four or above."
"But how many forces are there that dare to do such a thing, send people to plot against my Shangqing Immortal Sect, and even dare to directly kill the elders of my Immortal Sect? I believe you already have the answer in your mind."
The elders present were silent, but the light in their eyes flashed, and they had already thought of something.
The second elder said it right.
Being able to kill Deng Zhong is not only a matter of strength, but also a matter of courage.
Not to mention just a fake immortal, even if it is just a chicken, as long as he carries the identity of the elder of the immortal sect, few people dare to touch him.
"Are they the other three immortal sects?"
Fifth Elder Tang Xizhi said.
The second elder nodded: "Nine times out of ten."
"Except for the three major immortal sects alongside my Shangqing Immortal Sect, the only one with some strength in the Second Heaven is the Jiuxiaoyun Sect, but they have always been low-key in their actions, and they don't look like they have the guts to kill my Immortal. "Elder Gate."
Ling Tian asked at this time: "So according to the second elder, which family is the most likely?"
The second elder pondered for a moment and then said: "It's probably the Yuhua Immortal Sect!"
Everyone present was shocked.
Ling Tian said: "Why did the second elder make such a judgment?"
The second elder said: "It's very simple. The spiritual land where Liuguang Sect is located is closest to the Yuhua Immortal Sect."
"If Zhong Qing is a member of the Yuhua Immortal Sect and knows that he will be chased by people from the Shangqing Immortal Sect, he will naturally stay as close as possible to his sect so that the sect can come to help."
"Of course, this is only one of them. As for the second, you all know that the last one who stationed in the lower realm to collect luck for 200,000 years was the Yuhua Immortal Sect!"
"The plan to seize the Mysterious Mirror of Heaven and Earth obviously cannot be a temporary idea. We handed it over from the hands of the Yuhua Immortal Sect. In the two hundred thousand years before that, the only one who could make any arrangements and calculations in advance was Yuhua Xianmen!"
