Chapter 0279: 0279
One day, a group of sword cultivators arrived and descended on the remains of the Wind and Thunder Dao Sect in a mighty formation .
The leader of this group wore a purple robe and was as beautiful as a flower . She was none other than Shen Xingyu . She was a little anxious after having looked through several places . In the end, the group gathered at the Wind and Thunder Dao Sect . Based on what the local forces had claimed, they had found the corpses of Shushan disciples in this place .
When Shen Xingyu received Wu Yu's Message Talisman, she caught up with the team that had set off two days earlier . She told them that the battle had ended and that the truth behind the incident had been uncovered .
When Soul Hall noticed the death of five Huang sword rank disciples, Shushan immediately sent over twenty Huang sword rank disciples as reinforcements . Among them, some were Earth sword rank disciples who were eighth and ninth tier Jindan Dao cultivators .
On the way, Shen Xingyu explained the development and outcome of the incident clearly to the team . The Huang sword rank disciples, who were initially on high alert and prepared for any eventualities, heaved a huge sigh of relief upon learning that the incident had ended .
However, they raised a few questionable points .
First, it seemed as though a demon had strayed into the area . Just what kind of demon was it and what was its strength level?
Second, Wu Yu was just a third tier Jindan Dao cultivator . Despite having the demon to help him, how could he possibly kill the ghostly cultivator that could even kill He Taozi? Logically speaking, Wu Yu should be the weakest in the team and the easiest target to be killed directly .
Therefore, Shen Xingyu answered that all questionable points could be resolved once they met up with Wu Yu .
When the group arrived at the scene, they found the corpses of He Taozi and his team . The group immediately crowded forward . The state of He Taozi and his team was undoubtedly utterly miserable . Wu Yu hadn't gotten the chance to sort out the corpses when he got taken away by Ba She .
"He Taozi, Ye Jingming, Gu Hongming . . . These were all outstanding young disciples in Shushan . Their masters happen to be in closed door cultivation . Otherwise, they would likely have rushed over upon hearing the news . "
"I heard there's a Heaven sword rank disciple on his way here . He will probably arrive in a while . "
"Oh, right, isn't Wu Yu still alive? Where is he? He had so much time! Why didn't he help tidy up the bodies his senior brothers and senior sisters?"
A few men was displeased and started shouting and looking for Wu Yu . However, they couldn't find Wu Yu despite looking around for some time .
"Shen Xingyu, Wu Yu should have told you about his location when he communicated with you . Am I right?"
Shen Xingyu was baffled by the situation and answered, "He said that he would be waiting for us in the vicinity of the Wind and Thunder Dao Sect . Why is he missing now?"
She couldn't find Wu Yu either .
At that moment, the group was baffled .
Shen Xingyu observed the surroundings attentively before adding, "Perhaps he left for something temporarily . Let's wait for him . I have some questions for him too . "
The group wasn't particularly in a rush .
"I just got the information on Ghostly Wings of the Black Mountain . His cultivation level is either seventh tier or eighth tier of the Jindan Dao Realm . He specialized in spirit designs and therefore these Sect Protecting Spirit Design are largely ineffective against him . He Taozi dying in a battle with him would be also within expectations . This ghostly cultivator is too cunning! Who would have thought he would use such a method to draw Shushan disciples here? We definitely have to make him pay for it!"
"Who are you going to ask for payment? This guy doesn't have any kin or even friends . Can it be that you want to slay all the ghostly cultivators on the continent?"
This incident caused a certain level of shock throughout Shushan . Their mission here this time would include the heavy responsibility of investigating the incident clearly .
The group kept the corpses of He Taozi and his team away . After which, they mobilized the people from the remaining six forces to bury the unfortunate victims in this incident . Naturally, as Shushan was supposed to be providing protection to them, they gave these forces a little consolation so as to allow them to walk out of the horror quickly .
After questioning the city lord of Qingsang City, the group roughly understood the situation with the demon that Wu Yu had reported . However, the city lord had been on the run all along . He wasn't particularly clear of what happened to the Wind and Thunder Dao Sect .
The initial plan was to wait for Wu Yu to return . However, there was no sign of him for an entire day, and the group was getting impatient . Therefore, Shen Xingyu decided to split up to look for him . The group of over 20 people separated and search almost the entire vicinity in half a day . However, they still couldn't find any signs of Wu Yu . In the end, when they gathered again at the Wind and Thunder Dao Sect, the group was getting frustrated .
Among the group, a very young Huang sword rank disciple stepped up . He was none other than Zhao Xuanxian . When he heard about the incident and learned that it concerned Wu Yu, he requested to come over too . At this moment, he said solemnly, "Various seniors, Wu Yu has not showed himself till now . I believe everyone has a lot of questions like me . Let me just state my queries . I question the authenticity of the information Wu Yu that wrote in the Message Talisman . I feel that there are too many questionable points . The truth that he has claimed might very well be made up by him . In fact, the existence of the ghostly cultivator might just be a ruse . "
Shen Xingyu stared harshly at him and remarked, "Nonsense! I have heard about the Ghost Isolation Array, and it’s clear that there are parts of the Ghost Isolation Array bases in the vicinity . Moreover, only someone like Ghostly Wings of the Black Mountain would be capable of such . Demons are not good at spirit designs . "
Everyone knew that Zhao Xuanxian was still vengeful from losing to Wu Yu .
Zhao Xuanxian wasn't willing to back down and added, "That only means that he did not defeat Ghostly Wings of the Black Mountain with that demon . Ghostly Wings of the Black Mountain isn't dead yet and Wu Yu has escaped . He is probably afraid of bearing the responsibilities and therefore made up the lie . "
