Chapter 60 The Only Clue
In the study room of the Kongling Immortal Mansion, Zhou An came in. The four girls stopped what they were doing, stood up and saluted, saying, "Master."
"Don't be so formal. I have an important matter that I need you to help analyze for me." Zhou An sat down in the middle and told everyone everything that had happened recently, asking everyone to help with their advice.
"From the current situation, there must be a connection between the voodoo in the Western Region and the battle between good and evil. Someone wants to spread the voodoo into Qianyuan, but the immortal cultivators certainly don't dare to be involved in such a big cause and effect, so the people behind the scenes can only let those acquired warriors who have learned magic to participate.
From this point of view, foreign forces other than the Western Regions could be behind the scenes. However, provoking a war between good and evil in the Qianyuan Empire was not something that other countries could do. It must have been the participation of cultivators, otherwise it would be impossible to involve so many powerful people.
From this point of view, other countries are sent out. After all, once the voodoo infection gets out of control, it will be a disaster for the entire continent. Moreover, when the righteous path becomes weak and the evil spirits take over, it will bring about wanton killing. No country dares to face this situation. "Qin Yu said.
Qi Hui continued, "The last time the black-robed man came to send us a message, it was just to drag us into the fight between good and evil. Moreover, the other party displayed the Black Flame Demonic Evil, which is very powerful. Without a top-grade defensive magic treasure, you will die if you touch it.
All he did was of no benefit to anyone, and it could be said to be a way of mutual destruction. Combining this information, it is basically certain that the person behind this must be a demon monk, and is good at strategy. Combining these, there should not be many people who meet the conditions.
The most suitable candidate I know is Tian Chanzi, the head of Tiandao Sect."
Zhou An nodded. The destruction of Tiandao Peak was too sudden, and Tian Chanzi's disappearance was suspicious. He thought of something and asked, "The Divine Beggar said that Tian Chanzi had passed the sixth heavenly tribulation. Judging from the time, he couldn't have prepared for the ninth heavenly tribulation so quickly. So he is still alive and must not have been possessed by the devil."
Qi Hui immediately said, "There may not be only one person behind the scenes."
Zhou An frowned, nodded and said, "Whether it is Tian Chanzi or not, the biggest clue now is the body of the clone left by the black-robed man. I have asked the Jinyiwei to investigate, and there should be new clues soon."
Xing Yan said: "Whoever is behind all this must have considerable power in the world of immortal cultivation. The current Jinyiwei may not be able to investigate."
"Well, during this period of time, we still need you to guide the new disciples who have joined the Kongling Immortal Mansion so that they can improve quickly." Zhou An said.
"Don't worry, Master. The Purple Guards are carefully selected and trained since childhood. They have outstanding talents and experience in the martial arts world, and their foundation is much better than that of ordinary people.
Combined with the elixirs provided by the disciples of Baihua Palace, they will surely become rising stars in a short time." Shuyao said.
After leaving the Kongling Immortal Palace, Zhou An found Zhou Lingsha in the hall of Qianyang Palace.
As soon as the girl came in, the first thing she did was to ask for delicious food. Zhou Anzai had already prepared it and pointed to three pastries and a bottle of drink on the table.
She ran over with joy on her face, picked it up and ate it with a satisfied expression.
"How is the investigation of the body going?" Zhou An asked.
"I found out that he is from Panyang Town and is a wanderer. Not many locals know him and his background is unknown. We only know that his name is Zhao Ji and he is at the seventh level of the acquired realm.
The last place he disappeared was Dongyang Mountain. I have sent a team of Jinyiwei to investigate there." Zhou Lingsha stuffed her mouth full and washed the food down with a drink before speaking vaguely.
Zhou An frowned and said, "There may be evil monks on the other side. Take people to support them immediately. If you encounter danger, notify me immediately with a transmission note. Be careful."
"Got it." Zhou Lingsha finished her drink in one gulp, packed up the remaining snacks and took them away, then left quickly without saying goodbye.
Zhou An shook his head and smiled, then took out the Tiandao Sect’s book from the system space and started reading.
On Dongyang Mountain east of Panyang Town, a team of Jinyiwei searched the mountain based on clues from the investigation. However, as too much time had passed, all traces were long gone, so they could only conduct a carpet search.
These people are professional spies, and their search is strategic. They first search for areas suitable for hiding.
As a result, when the three people entered the depths of a valley, they found a very secret villa.
Just as they were about to go over to investigate, suddenly a mound of earth next to them exploded, and seven people rushed out. Their faces were as pale as death, their eyes were pale and lifeless, and they pounced on them like wild beasts.
The three men drew their swords with just one move, and seven were beheaded and fell.
But they soon got up again, and then the same people, both men and women, came out from other mounds around.
"Dead bodies! This should be the place. Give the signal and we'll charge in." One of them said, and rushed towards the group of dead bodies. He swung his sword with all his might, and easily cut off the hands and feet of the dead bodies.
The other one took out a signal tube and shot red sparks into the sky, and then the three of them rushed towards the villa together.
Even though these corpses were as strong as bulls, they had their limbs chopped off and lost their ability to move when facing three Jinyiwei.
When they rushed into the front yard of the villa, there was already a group of people waiting in line. A tall and thin man stood at the door of the main room, clapping his hands and sneering, "The Jinyiwei are really good at seeking death. It just so happens that we are short of corpses of martial arts masters."
The three Jinyiwei looked at each other and nodded, then simultaneously performed the same sword technique, slashing out dozens of sword energies at the people around them.
Those people were martial arts masters, most of them were above the fifth level of acquired martial arts, but facing the sword energy of the Jinyiwei, their weapons were directly cut off and they were not able to withstand a single round of attack.

Three people were seen moving in strange ways among the crowd, their swords slashing and people in the villa falling one after another.
After all these people were killed, three Jinyiwei flew down and surrounded the tall and thin man.
The man was unmoved and laughed, "Okay, very good, I'll take your bodies."
Two Jinyiwei rushed forward and chopped down with knives in both hands. The tall and thin man did not dodge and let their knives hit his shoulders and head.
You should know that the average strength of the Jinyiwei is now at the eighth level of the acquired realm, and the swords in their hands are rare fine products in the world.
But when the blade hit the tall and thin man, it actually made a sound of metal colliding.
The man was extremely fast. He slapped two men on the chest with both hands. The Jinyiwei on both sides had no time to react. His fingers pierced their armor and slapped them away. After they fell to the ground, they vomited blood. He made them unable to get up with just one blow.
The third Jinyiwei stabbed the man in the back of the head from behind, but the man turned around, reached out to grab the blade, and twisted his hand, and the fine steel knife was twisted into a knot.
The Jinyiwei was surprised and used his Qinggong skills to retreat, but as soon as he jumped up, the tall and thin man rushed to him faster than him, grabbed his forehead, and bit his neck.
The Jinyiwei slapped the man's head with his palm. The palm force of the eighth level of acquired internal energy was enough to break stones and split monuments, but it couldn't hurt him at all.
After struggling for a few seconds, the Jinyiwei's face turned blue, and soon his hands and feet stopped moving. His hands hung down and his body became shriveled.
The tall and thin man threw the corpse aside and walked towards the two seriously injured Jinyiwei. He licked the corner of his mouth, showing his fangs and laughed: "Jinyiwei are different. The taste of this blood is also the best among humans. Haha, how can those mountain villagers compare with you? I can't help but be addicted. Let's go to your Jinyiwei headquarters and eat to my heart's content."
"Arrogant demon."
An angry shout was heard from outside, and then more than a dozen Jinyiwei leaped in and surrounded the man. A commander flew in front of the man with an ink-blue knife on his back.
