Chapter 409: Postponement
Hearing this, Tieshi Niu sighed secretly and said no more.
Even if postponing the Dream Wheel Conference would alert the enemy, the news would spread completely, which would make the monks participating in the Dream Wheel Conference more or less alert.
As for catching the real culprit behind the scenes, it can be considered in the long run.
Lin Kedi did not want to postpone the Dream Wheel Conference, probably because he wanted to use the monks participating in this Dream Wheel Conference as bait to catch the murderer!
Tieshi Niu did not agree with his disregard for human life.
But now he was in the Great Dream City, so he could not be too opinionated.
Besides, Lin Kedi was famous for his domineering and stubbornness. Even if he insisted, he might not change his mind and listen to him.
Yunmeng Sect's Lan Mengdie originally wanted to argue with reason, but seeing that Tieshi Niu did not speak again, he could only sigh secretly and said nothing more.
…
Time passed bit by bit, and the number of monks on the first floor of the Great Dream Sect increased.
During this period, Duan Qing clearly felt that the atmosphere today was subtly different from yesterday, and there was a sense of impending storm.
Many of the monks who came from Dameng City were discussing the disappearance of the female monks in the city, and it seemed that the matter had spread completely.
"Daoyou Duan, do you think the disappearance of the female monks those people said is related to the black stone last night?" Zuo Wanqiu secretly sent a message to Duan Qing.
With everyone around talking about this matter, she didn't dare to speak out, so she chose to send a message carefully.
"It's hard to say, but this possibility is very high!" Duan Qing pondered for a moment and sent a message back.
"The matter has become so serious! Should we inform Dameng Sect about this matter?" Zuo Wanqiu tried to ask Duan Qing.
In fact, she really wanted to reveal the matter of the black stone to Dameng Sect and let Dameng Sect deal with it.
If Dameng Sect can get rid of the black stone, it will definitely be a good thing for Duan Qing, who has a grudge against the black stone.
But this matter is related to Duan Qing after all, so she still has to ask Duan Qing's opinion.
Duan Qing looked at Zuo Wanqiu in surprise. In his impression, Zuo Wanqiu was not someone who would do such a thankless task!
You know, if he told the Dameng Sect about the black stone, it would be a good thing for him, but for Zuo Wanqiu, it would not be of any benefit, and it might even cause trouble.
Imagine that at this critical moment, Zuo Wanqiu suddenly went to the Dameng Sect and said that he knew who the real murderer was. Even if the Dameng Sect believed him, they would inevitably doubt him.
After thinking for a moment, Duan Qing sent a voice message to Zuo Wanqiu: "This matter is very important, so it is better to be cautious."
He mainly didn't want to deal with the Dameng Sect.
Zuo Wanqiu nodded gently. "Then listen to Fellow Daoist Duan."
Since Duan Qing was unwilling to reveal the black stone to the Dameng Sect, she naturally respected Duan Qing's choice.
Not far from Duan Qing and others, Tieshi Niu heard so many monks around him talking about the disappearance of the female monk in the Dameng City, and felt relieved.
Humph, you, Lin Kedi, don't want to postpone the Dream Wheel Conference, and want to lure the snake out of its hole, but you didn't expect that the matter has spread among the monks.
It may not be so easy for the real murderer who killed the female monk to succeed again.
At this time, a figure suddenly flew and landed on the ice surface in the center of the open space.
It was Lin Kedi.
The ice condensed by the pool water, after such a long time, still showed no signs of melting.
And as Lin Kedi fell on the ice surface, the ice surface began to emit bursts of strong cold air.
Lin Kedi glanced at the monks present with cold eyes and was about to say something.
However, at this moment, the sound transmission jade slip on his waist suddenly emitted a subtle spiritual power fluctuation.
The words that were about to come to his mouth were swallowed back immediately.
Then, Lin Kedi's face changed slightly, and anger flashed in his eyes.
Then, Lin Kedi lowered his head and fell into deep thought, as if he was entangled in something.
But soon, he made a decision, raised his hand and looked around at everyone, and said loudly: "I believe you all know what happened in the Great Dream City recently. For this, our Great Dream Sect is extremely angry!"
Lin Kedi's words, coupled with his previous strange behavior, made a small number of people around who were late to realize and still didn't know about it feel confused and asked their companions.
But Link didn't give those people time to understand the reason for the matter, and spoke again.
"This beast slaughtered hundreds of female monks in my Great Dream City. Such cruel crimes are outrageous to both humans and gods! In view of this, I decided to postpone the Dream Wheel Conference and use the power of my Great Dream Sect to search for the murderer. After the beast is brought to justice, the Dream Wheel Conference will be resumed."
Lin Kedi's words caused an uproar in the audience.
Since the Dream Wheel Conference became a tradition in Jizhou, it has been held countless times, but it is very rare to postpone or interrupt the conference, and it may not happen once in thousands of years.
Although hundreds of female monks disappeared in the Great Dream City this time, almost no one thought that this incident would affect the normal holding of the Dream Wheel Conference.
After all, the Dream Wheel Conference is a grand event held once every ten years in Jizhou. Among the young monks in Jizhou, who does not expect to become famous and make a name for themselves at the conference?
Imagine how dare the Great Dream Sect dare to risk the world's disapproval and easily interrupt the Dream Wheel Conference.
But I didn't expect Lin Kedi to announce the suspension of the Dream Wheel Conference!
"It's just that some female disciples are missing! Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration!"
"That's right, I think the missing people are all small fish below the Questioning Heart Realm, and their cultivation is not high. Why care so much! After the Dream Wheel Conference, there is plenty of time to deal with the murderer!"
"That's wrong. Judging from the performance of Sect Leader Lin before, it seems that things are not as simple as he said!"
"What the hell, I've been preparing for this Dream Round Conference for two years. You said to postpone it, so I'll postpone it. Fuck him!"
...
The crowd began to talk, and most of the words were filled with dissatisfaction with Lin Kedi's postponement of the Dream Round Conference!
Seeing this, Lin Kedi frowned tightly, and suddenly released his momentum, sweeping the whole audience.
Feeling Lin Kedi's momentum, the noisy crowd around suddenly became silent.
"After my Great Dream Sect kills the real murderer, I will notify you of the time for the Dream Round Conference. If you have nothing to do, you can disperse!" Lin Kedi said coldly, his words were extremely domineering.
Hearing Lin Kedi's words, the crowd boiled again, and many cultivators had begun to prepare to leave.
At this moment, a sloppy man suddenly flew out of the crowd and landed beside Lin Kedi.
It was the great elder of Xiaomeng Sect, Tieshi Niu.
Lin Kedi looked at Tieshiniu in confusion, wondering why he suddenly came on stage.
Tieshiniu coughed heavily, which made the noisy crowd quiet down immediately, and those who were about to leave also stopped.
"I believe you all know who I am, so I will save my words and not introduce myself." Tieshiniu touched the inch-long stubble on his chin and grinned.
