"Qiyun, what on earth happened here?" After arranging for everyone to set up camp and rest, Duan Tianya also received the casualty statistics from his disciples. The young people participating in the trial also had some understanding of the situation. Seeing so many elite swordsmen who had been placed with high hopes on the death list, they were naturally puzzled and asked Wu Qiyun in confusion.
"It's all because of that shameless villain Qu Fengting. For the remains of the divine beast, he actually..." Before Wu Qiyun could answer, a young swordsman with a broken arm behind him cursed indignantly.
"Wait." He was interrupted by Pang Dezong, who was standing next to Duan Tianya, just as he was halfway through his words. Compared to Duan Tianya, who was devoted to cultivation and had a righteous temperament, Pang Dezong was much more cautious. As soon as he heard the words "Qu Fengting" and the remains of the divine beast, he knew that this matter was not so simple and immediately interrupted him.
Duan Tianya's question was interrupted and he looked at Pang Dezong strangely.
"Don't tell any outsiders about what happened in the Valley of Exotic Beasts this time. Let me understand it clearly, then we can discuss it." Pang Dezong said to Mu Hanyan and others with a serious face.
"Also, although the Valley of Strange Beasts has been temporarily stabilized, no one knows if any accidents will happen again. More than a hundred of you should stay here and rest well. I will send people to keep watch for you. Don't wander around without my order." Pang Dezong continued his instructions.
After saying that, Pang Dezong pulled a disciple over and whispered a few words to him. The disciple nodded in understanding, and immediately took the other fellow disciples to spread out around Mu Hanyan and others, holding the hilts of their swords with a vigilant look on their faces.
"Now I can finally get a good night's sleep." A swordsman behind him breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Pang Dezong with gratitude, and went into the tent. Soon, thunderous snoring was heard from inside.
The other swordsmen were also exhausted. Seeing that there were people around to help keep watch, they all returned to their tents to rest.
"Wu Qiyun, Fang Zheng, Lin Sihai, come with me." Pang Dezong called out a few names and took Duan Tianya, who was interrupted by him and looked confused, to the distant cliff.
Mu Hanyan looked at Pang Dezong thoughtfully and vaguely guessed his intention.
Although the final result was much better than everyone expected, nearly two thousand family members died in the Valley of Exotic Beasts, and there must be an explanation.
If it was simply a problem with the barrier, they could probably get away with it by finding a reason and giving some compensation. But if people knew that the matter was related to the Ancient Temple and that those elite swordsmen had lost their lives because of Qu Fengting, the Qu family would certainly be to blame, and Zhengying Academy would probably not be able to explain either.
After all, this Valley of Strange Beasts is the trial ground used by Zhengying Academy for nearly ten thousand years. It contains the remains and temple of Qiongqi, one of the four ancient mythical beasts, but they are completely unaware of it. Who would believe it if this were told to others?
This Pang Dezong was probably trying to hide the truth. With Mu Hanyan's experience, how could she not guess Pang Dezong's intentions? However, she was not anxious at all.
"Hmph, so many people lost their lives innocently. Is it so easy to conceal the truth? We can't just kill everyone to silence them. If you want us to keep a secret, it depends on what benefits you can offer." Mu Hanyan thought secretly in her heart.
Because of Zhao Sining, Miss Mu had no good feelings towards Zhengying College. When she thought of the opportunity to blackmail her, she naturally would not be polite to him.
Besides, is it that easy to conceal something from the world? You can conceal it for a while, but can you conceal it forever?
