Three days later, Su Lin's order was secretly transmitted from Xiaoyun Temple.

Seven days later, a deacon of the Immortal Sect Cloud Hidden Sect caused a calamity outside and perished. The murderer left clues pointing to a certain great immortal cultivation family, and was suspected to be a direct descendant of the family.

The Cloud Hidden Sect's Foreign Affairs Elder was furious and personally led a team to the tribe to capture the murderer and slaughter the entire Manchu clan!

It is worth mentioning that the murderer was very young and extremely agitated before his execution, shouting that he was absolutely innocent.

He also claimed that he was close friends with the son of the Cloud Hidden Sect's steward, and that they were both extraterrestrial beings who had only temporarily come to this world and would soon leave, etc.

The local monks naturally didn't believe such words, taking them as the child's incoherent ramblings born of fear of death.

After all, he's an outsider to the sect, and he's never had any contact or meeting with the sect's stewards or their children. How can he claim to be a friend? It's just nonsense he came up with because he's too afraid of death.

Due to the impact of the mechanics, survivors who reveal too directly about the mechanics to NPCs during a match will only ruin their own role and will not attract the NPCs' attention.

Even though some people were pondering this matter, they couldn't calm down and investigate, because in the following six months, news of the assassination of noble members of sects or families frequently appeared all over the world.

These people included men and women, young and old, but without exception, they all held high status and position within their respective factions.

From members of immortal sects to cultivators of families, the victims were so numerous that they were spread across almost every part of the world, and many of them had no connection with each other.

Most importantly, they all died inexplicably; the murderer either disappeared without a trace or the clues led to people who were completely unrelated to them.

At first, the sects and families involved thought it was malicious targeting or insubordination, but later they found out that it was not the case at all.

Some sects are relatively reasonable, but perhaps due to insufficient strength, they dare not exterminate entire families without explanation, as the Yunyin Sect did back then.

There are also cases where, after a noble member of a sect is murdered, he actively communicates with the murderer who is hiding in the sect, and they cooperate in the investigation, discovering that the murderer pointed to by the clues is often not the real murderer.

Obviously!

This is a frame-up!

But every time this case is investigated, or even before it gets to this point, the person who was framed dies mysteriously, leaving no way to verify the facts.

Some astute cultivators vaguely sensed that someone was remotely controlling a major event behind the scenes, creating the terrifying killing spree of the past six months. This had caused major families and sects around the world to be on edge, fearing that their precious sons might be harmed.

The scope of this matter was far greater than the open and covert struggle between Tianya Mountain and Changshen Palace; even the nine major immortal sects were alarmed and dispatched three of their subordinate forces to thoroughly investigate the matter.

The three immortal sects in charge of this matter were Tianya Mountain, Changshen Palace, and Changsheng Pavilion.

These three immortal sects also have outstanding disciples who frequently die mysteriously, with a frequency and number of deaths far exceeding those of other forces. However, it is uncertain whether they were killed by a mysterious mastermind or by the three parties biting each other... But without a doubt, investigating this matter is something these three immortal sects are extremely good at!

Although many things are not out in the open, the cunning assassination methods that frequently occurred during the ten-year struggle between Tianya Mountain and Changshen Palace are common knowledge, and everyone is well aware of them.

With three major immortal sects in charge of this matter and possessing extensive knowledge of this art, the truth will likely come to light soon.

Unfortunately, just as the three major immortal sects began their investigation, the mysterious force behind the scenes vanished without a trace.

It's unclear whether the three major immortal sects started their manhunt too late, or whether the mysterious mastermind was wary of a joint investigation by the three sects. In any case, the matter was left unresolved, leaving behind many unsolved cases.

These three major immortal sects are clearly not the kind of people who can work together. Since they can't find any problems, they might as well stop investigating! Come on, let's continue biting each other!

Only the victim's sect and family remained concerned about the matter and silently investigated, but they soon gave up as well.

In the world of cultivation, time is the one thing that is never lacking.

Time is the best at burying secrets; after two or three years, no one will pursue the matter anymore.

Ultimately, although most of the dead were sons of noble families, only a limited number were of high status, and the total number of dead did not exceed two thousand, which was insignificant to the world as a whole.

Even for the various victim groups, it is merely a tragic event, not a fundamental blow.

Since they are not core members, there is no need to waste too much time. After all... in the years before and after this incident, the struggle between Tianya Mountain and Changshen Palace had already begun to intensify!

The open and covert struggle between the two factions intensified, with various frictions constantly arising, and there was a growing tendency to bring everything to the forefront, gradually attracting the attention of the world.

Even if some people within the two major immortal sects realized their mistake and wanted to pull back from the brink, it was already too late.

In just over a decade, the two great immortal sects have caused each other immense losses and committed countless atrocities, making countless enemies to the point of near irreconcilable enmity.

Applying the brakes at this point would be tantamount to digging your own grave.

Furthermore, the resistance and belligerence within the sects intensified. Anyone who had a relative, close friend, or Daoist partner killed by the other side wished they could destroy the opposing immortal sect the very next day.

This hatred is not only spreading among the lower and middle-level disciples, but has also gradually spread to the elders, deacons, and other high-ranking figures in the sect.

Even with the efforts of other high-ranking members of the immortal sects to travel back and forth and earnestly persuade both sides, it was all to no avail.
