Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 48 Shock, Baiyue

"What's wrong??"

In Zilan Pavilion, Zi Nu noticed Wei Zhuang's sudden change in expression and couldn't help but ask.

"Whose territory is that?"

Wei Zhuang pointed to a place in the north of the city, his tone very solemn.

"It must be the Poison Scorpion Sect. What happened over there?"

Wei Zhuang's gaze swept over other parts of Xinzheng City, and he casually picked up the Shark Tooth.

"Just now, an extremely domineering aura flashed by over there; something must have happened over there."

Zi Nu looked somewhat surprised. She did not doubt Wei Zhuang's words, but she had not sensed anything unusual in that place just now.

"I'll go check what's going on."

Before Zi Nu could answer, Wei Zhuang lightly touched the ground with his feet and then leaped away.

Standing on the fourth floor, one could see almost the entire city of Xinzheng. Zi Nu frowned, because besides Wei Zhuang, several other figures were also rushing towards the north of the city.

Looking at these people, Zi Nu raised her hand and pinched her chin, her eyes flickering slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

"Scorpion Gate"

"Who could it be?"

A moment later, Wei Zhuang arrived at the main hall of the Poison Scorpion Sect first. Looking at the corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, he subconsciously frowned.

He only glanced at them briefly, but his heart skipped a beat. These members of the Poison Scorpion Sect were dead, which was nothing unusual, but their deaths were very strange.

The ground was clean and there was no blood. There were no obvious wounds on the people's bodies, which meant that they did not die from a sharp weapon.

But these people had bulging eyes, and their eyes were filled with deep fear, as if they had seen something terrifying.

With this thought in mind, Wei Zhuang squatted down and touched a member of the Poison Scorpion Sect twice. Then he ran his fingers across the man's body, seemingly checking the cause of death. But as time went on, his gaze became increasingly cautious.

"Whoosh!!"

Just then, a whooshing sound rang out, and a dark figure appeared above the Poison Scorpion Gate.

Wei Zhuang shook his head slightly, as if he had foreseen the future, and easily dodged the attack.

"If I were you, I wouldn't have intervened."

Wei Zhuang stood up, his gaze sweeping back and forth across the hall, as if searching for something.

A dark figure appeared atop the iron cage above the lobby, laughing as he said, "Were you looking for me?"

Wei Zhuang glanced at the newcomer, then looked away.

"you??"

"You're not worth my attention. What I mean is, if the person who made the move hadn't left, and the mastermind behind the Poison Scorpion Sect had just shown up at our doorstep, do you think they would have let you go?"

"One Hundred Birds - Black Crow".

The newcomer was Mo Ya. Upon hearing Wei Zhuang's words, his right eye began to twitch uncontrollably.

Crows are messengers of death, and black crows, who deal with crows all day long, have a more acute sense of death than ordinary people.

Like Wei Zhuang, he also began to look around, but the surroundings were quiet. There were only the two of them standing alive; everyone else was either dead or unconscious.

"Where are you going?"

Seeing Wei Zhuang turn to leave, Mo Ya asked instinctively.

"That's a stupid question. Since there's nothing I need here, is there any point in me staying here any longer?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ya's eyes flickered slightly.

"Don't you want to know who did this?"

Wei Zhuang paused, then looked at Mo Ya.

"You know that??"

Mo Ya pointed to the people in the iron cage. Although they were unsightly, thankfully, they had all survived. "Why don't we just ask them?"

Wei Zhuang gave a cold laugh.

"Are all the people in the Nightfall as stupid as you? Or did you inherit the crow's brain? Regardless of whether these people were unconscious at the time, even if they were, were what they saw real?"

"What they see is what that person allowed them to see; it could be true or false, but such things have no value to me."

At this point, Wei Zhuang paused.

"Be glad you still have value, otherwise, based on that attack just now, you wouldn't be going home today."

Mo Ya's lips twitched; it was the first time he had ever felt intellectually outmatched.

Watching Wei Zhuang's departing figure, Mo Ya shook his head helplessly.

He then rolled down and examined the corpses of the Poison Scorpion Sect members. His expression, like Wei Zhuang's, became very solemn.

Fear stems from the unknown. The Scorpion Clan has been wiped out, the perpetrators have vanished without a trace, and the cause of death remains untraceable. This is not a good thing.

He then returned to the iron cage and woke up the person inside, but the result was destined to disappoint him.

Just then, a commotion arose outside the lobby.

"Lord Sikou, this is the place."

Mo Ya's expression changed. How did Han Fei find this place?

Suddenly, Mo Ya's expression changed, as if he had thought of something.

"Wei Zhuang, that bastard!!!"

The person who tipped them off must be Wei Zhuang. Now that he is at the scene of the deaths, regardless of whether he killed these people or not, Han Fei will definitely not turn a blind eye if he sees them. To him, it's like mud falling into his pants; even if it's not shit, it's still shit.

He even suspected that Wei Zhuang hadn't gone far, and that if he clashed with Han Fei, that shark tooth would be pressed against his neck.

Standing atop the iron cage, Mo Ya's eyes flashed coldly several times.

Of course, even if Wei Zhuang is really here, he has to leave, though he will have to pay a price. As the leader of the Hundred Birds, his lightness skill is among the best in the entire six kingdoms.

However, what he expected did not happen. Wei Zhuang, who came from Guigu, was not there. Taking advantage of a gap, Mo Ya still managed to escape.

Han Fei looked at the feather falling from the sky, his eyes flickered slightly. He had wondered why Wei Zhuang had sent someone to deliver a message to him, but the current situation was beyond his control.

However, with such a major case occurring here, I'm afraid something strange is about to happen in Xinzheng.

In the Purple Orchid Pavilion, Zi Nu eagerly awaited Wei Zhuang's return. She asked, "How did things go?"

After stepping into the room, Wei Zhuang first put Shark Tooth back on the sword rack before returning to the window.

"The Poison Scorpion Sect has been wiped out."

Wei Zhuang's tone was somewhat heavy.

Zi Nu nodded upon hearing this; this outcome was within her expectations.

"Who did it?"

Wei Zhuang narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming somewhat profound.

"I don't know. When I arrived, all that was left of the Scorpion Clan were corpses scattered on the ground, and interestingly, the cause of death for these people was uncertain."

"No external injuries, no bloodstains, not even any internal organs were damaged. Such a method of murder is unheard of."

Zi Nu was taken aback. Wei Zhuang was right. Not only had he never heard of such a method before, but she herself had never heard of it either.

"I examined the body carefully. The most likely cause of death is suffocation, but I found no signs of suffocation on the neck or anywhere else."

The room was quiet. After a moment of silence, Zi Nu suddenly spoke up: "Could it be poisoning? Some poisons can cause this kind of result."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang seemed to recall something, and his gaze towards Zi Nu held a hint of speculation.

"You mean the Baiyue??"
