C475 The Truth
Therefore, Bai Cann could only continue watching the competition while waiting.
"Elder Bai, that's the strongest disciple of the Outer Sect, Palace Shi. He has already reached the peak of the Third Sky of Celestial Fate Stage, but in fact, he could have already reached the Fourth Sky of Celestial Fate Stage and entered the inner circle a long time ago. However, he wants to get the first place this year, and get a good reward before advancing. " Fei Zhuliu said.
" Oh? The number one person in the Outer Sect. He was indeed very strong. That Mid Third Sky Celestial Fate Stage disciple was no match for him in three moves. " Bai Cann praised.
"Elder Fei, who is that female disciple? She looks very strong." Bai Cann pointed at a Fighting Platform and asked.
"That's the ice fragrance, one of the top ten disciples of Outer Sect. She's a Late Third Sky Celestial Fate Stage. That's her Spiritual Ice Dharma, and her talent isn't any weaker than Dianshi's."
"Elder Bai, do you see that fat girl who is smiling? Her name is Xiyi Ji, and she's also one of the top ten disciples. Although she's short and fat, her strength isn't bad. She's at the Late Third Sky of the Celestial Fate Stage."
"That's Mei Weeping, she's skilled in the Plum Blossom Escort Technique, and her strength is on par with Xiyi Ji."
" That young man with the spear is Pan Zi. He has a very strong spear talent, and his strength is one of the top five amongst the top ten disciples of the Outer Sect. "
"Elder Bai, Yi Gui has entered the arena. Last year, he was ranked seventh. I wonder if he will make any progress this year."
"Eh? Wei Polu has actually broken through to the peak of Third Sky of Celestial Fate Stage. This is really surprising. I wonder if he will be able to defeat Dian Shi this year!"
Fei Zhuliu introduced the top ten disciples of Outer Sect to Bai Cann one by one.
Bai Cann also roughly confirmed that in this year's Broken Sword Villa competition, one or two disciples would be born from Dianshi and Wei Polu.
The other disciples would compete for the other rankings!
As for why all the disciples in this year's Grand Competition used the highest grade Saint Artifact, this was also one of the rules of the competition, and Celestial Fate Artifact was not allowed to be used.
After Bai Cann looked at it for half a day, a disciple came over and said respectfully, "Reporting to Elder Fei, Elder Bai, the results of the investigation have been found. I checked it over and over again, confirming that this year, the disciples of Fragrant Sky Mountain's Tian Village are here. No one has come to register for the Broken Sword Villa's examination. "
"Hmm? How could that be? They had clearly rushed over from the Sword Casting City to the Broken Sword Villa for the examination, why didn't a single one of them come over to register?" Bai Cann asked in a serious tone.
"Replying to Elder Bai, there really isn't anyone here!"
After getting confirmation from this disciple, Bai Cann was not in the mood to watch the competition. He turned to Elder Fei Zhuliu and said, "Elder Fei, I'm really sorry to have disturbed you for so long. I need to investigate the matter regarding the disciples of Fragrant Sky Mountain's Tian Village. I'll be leaving first."
"Hahaha... It didn't matter. Elder Bai had some matters to attend to, so he had to deal with it first. Anyway, I want to see the result of the competition. " Flying Bamboo said with a laugh.
After Bai Cann expressed his apology once again, he rode the Lion Chicken and flew straight to Sword Casting City!
Two days later!
Bai Cann returned to the Sword Casting City and headed straight to the City Lord Mansion to find Ouyang Minghai and Shui Lingyun!
"Ming Hai, drink some tea by the side first. Don't disturb me and Little White discussing matters." Shui Lingyun said.
... ""
Ouyang Minghai could only curl his face and go to the side to drink the stuffy tea!
"Little White, why did you suddenly rush back to Sword Casting City? Did something happen?" Shui Lingyun asked with concern.
"Aunt Yun, it's like this..."
Bai Cann told Shui Lingyun about what happened earlier!
He then said, "So, Aunt Yun, I want to trouble the city lord to send someone to help me investigate. Tian Boguang and the others left Sword Casting City that day. Where did they go? What happened?"
"I see. No problem. Aunt Yun will help you settle this matter."
"Thank you, Aunt Yun..."
"It's a small matter!"
She stared at Ouyang Minghai and asked, "Have you had enough?"
Ouyang Minghai, who was sipping tea, was stunned for a moment. "Uh... Madam, didn't you ask me to go to the side to drink tea? What's wrong?"
"Come here and die for me!"
... ""
Ouyang Minghai quickly put down the teacup and went to Shui Lingyun's side. He looked at Shui Lingyun lovingly.
"You heard what Little White said just now. Go and do it. If there is no result tomorrow, you know what you will face!" Shui Lingyun said slowly.
... ""
Ouyang Minghai was so scared that he quickly ran out and called for the mayor's head guard to handle Bai Cann's matter!
Shui Lingyun brought Bai Cann to the living room to prepare food for Bai Cann...
With the City Lord Mansion's forces investigating, there would be results very soon. Bai Cann relaxed and ate a big meal.
This caused Ouyang Minghai's heart to ache. He looked at Bai Cann with disdain in his heart.
"You have the nerve to come and freeload on food and drinks again. Eat my food and live on mine. You even made my City Lord Mansion do things for you for free, and you also made me take the risk of being punished by my wife. You were born to cheat me, right? I'll remember you, you cheater!"
Ouyang Minghai muttered in his heart.
...
The next day!
The leader of the City Lord Mansion's guards came to report in a hurry!
"City Lord, City Lord's wife, the investigation has come to a conclusion!" The chief guard knelt down on one knee and said.
Bai Cann's eyes lit up!
Ouyang Minghai suddenly wanted to show off his demeanor as the City Lord, so he said indifferently, "Hurry up and report!"
"Yes! City Lord's wife!"
The Chief Commander suddenly reacted. It was the City Lord who had just spoken, and he quickly corrected himself. " Oh! That's not right! It's the City Lord!"
... ""
Ouyang Minghai's face turned red, while Shui Lingyun and Bai Cann were speechless.
The chief steward wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and complained in his heart, "When the wife of Chang City's City Lord is present, the City Lord usually won't speak. He didn't expect that the City Lord would speak first today, causing him to say the wrong thing. What a scam. With City Lord Chang's vengeful personality, it will be hard for him to bear it in the future... "
However, he still had to report the matter first. The Chief reported with a straight face, "City Lord, Tian Boguang and the others left Sword Casting City on the same day and went to Broken Sword Villa on the usual safe route. While they were rushing, a person caught up with them. He took them to the southwest where there were few people. We followed that direction and found some clues. It seems... "
"Hmm? Seems like what?" Bai Cann frowned and asked.
"It seems like all of them have been killed!" The chief said.
"What!"
Bai Cann stood up in shock and said in disbelief, "Say it again, did they really get killed?"
"Yes, God Master Bai. The disciples of Fragrant Sky Mountain and Tian Village should have all been killed!" The leader said.
"Let's go! Bring us there!" Shui Lingyun said.
" Yes! City Lord's wife!"
The Chief rode on the Red Qilin Fire Eagle and set off. Bai Cann and Shui Lingyun followed behind!
...
Ouyang Minghai stayed in City Lord Mansion. In order to show off his city lord demeanor, he repeatedly issued boring orders!
"You, go and see if Old Wang in the city has done anything that will anger the heavens!"
"You, go and urge the guards to cultivate properly. Don't just stand guard all day long!"
"You, go to the fourth floor of Myriad Treasure Tower and see if there are any treasures recently!"
The guards started to move one by one. Ouyang Minghai sat on the throne of the city lord in the main hall and nodded his head in satisfaction. "It seems that these guys have been suppressed by my elegance and efficiency."
...
The leader of the guards brought Bai Cann and Shui Lingyun all the way to the place where Tian Boguang and the rest had fallen.
In the wilderness, Bai Cann looked at the charred corpses dug out by the guards, his face became darker and darker...
"City Lord's wife, God Master Bai, someone killed them and wanted to destroy the evidence, but the method seems to be very rough. There are still some corpses that have not been burnt through!" said the leader.
Bai Cann looked at the corpses that hadn't been burned through, and immediately recognized that it was the disciples from Tian Village who were participating in the examination, "It's a group of disciples from Tian Village who are here to participate in the Broken Sword Villa's examination!"
"God Master Bai, we carefully examined the corpses and found that they had their cultivation base crippled when they were alive. They were tortured to death!" The chief said.
... ""
"Do you know who brought Tian Boguang and the others here?" Bai Cann said in a gloomy tone.
"Yes... Yes..."
The chief looked at Shui Lingyun.
Shui Lingyun understood and frowned. She thought in her heart, could it be related to Broken Sword Villa?
But Shui Lingyun still said, "Just say it!"
"Yes!"
God Master Bai nodded. "It's Lan Shou, a disciple of the Outer Sect in Broken Sword Villa!"
