After a moment of thought, the three of them had already completed the last section of the mountain road and entered the gate of Jin Guangzong.
The Jin Guang Sect's protective formation was only of low grade, and now that there was no one guarding it, the three of them easily passed through the thin wall of the formation.
As soon as I entered, a strong smell of blood suddenly rushed out from the mountain gate and went straight into my nose.
"The resentment here is alarming. Many people died last night."
Tang Yin wrinkled her nose and was about to say something to comfort Xiang Sheng, but she was stunned to see that the latter looked normal.
"Junior sister, you're so brave! The first time I saw and smelled this smell, I vomited for a long time."
Zhang Heng praised her, but his expression tensed. "Senior Sister, let's split up and search."
"good."
Tang Yin nodded and instructed Xiang Sheng, "This place is dangerous. Follow me. Don't run around or touch anything. Do you understand?"
Xiang Sheng didn't say much and followed Tang Yin obediently.
Seeing this, Tang Yin understood and laughed to herself.
The little girl seemed calm and composed, but in fact she was deliberately showing off. I guess she must be feeling bad inside. She pretended so convincingly that she almost fooled her.
The Jin Guang Sect's mountain gate is deserted, with only a few hundred disciples, all living on the same peak, and the temples and houses in the mountains are quite close together.
Tang Yin pushed open a half-open door and saw large bloodstains all over the bed in the room, almost soaking the quilt. Her pupils suddenly shrank.
This residence is simple and should be where the servants live.
Xiang Sheng squatted down and touched the blood on the ground. It was still fresh, so he must have died last night.
But the amount of bleeding is a bit too much...
She put it to her nose and sniffed it gently, and her eyes narrowed immediately.
“…Shengmei?!”
After searching the closet, Tang Yin turned around and looked at Xiang Sheng squatting in front of a dark red bloodstain in shock. "What are you doing?"
Xiang Sheng stood up and wiped his hands, "It's nothing, Sister Tang, this blood has a strange smell."
Tang Yin came over and first checked Xiang Sheng's finger. Seeing that she was not injured, she squatted down, picked up a little blood and smelled it. Then she showed a little surprise, "The smell of bone-eroding powder."
"What is Bone-Eroding Powder?" Xiang Sheng asked.
Tang Yin took a little blood and put it into the bottle, explaining, "Bone-Erosion Powder is the Demon Palace's unique secret medicine. Just a fingernail's worth of powder can turn a corpse into a pool of blood. But in the previous investigations of the two sects, no bone-erosion powder was found in the blood, yet it was found here. How strange."
A glimmer flashed in Xiang Sheng's eyes, "Sister Tang, why don't we go take a look at the bloodstains in the main hall."
Tang Yin's eyes suddenly fixed, she was confused and uncertain: "You mean..."
A moment later, Tang Yin brought Xiang Sheng to the door of the main hall, which had collapsed a little. The furnishings in the hall were in a mess, as if a big fire had broken out, with ashes flying everywhere.
Tang Yin quickly stepped into the hall, and with a sweep of her spiritual sense, she immediately found several blood splatters, but they had all solidified into dark brown lumps.
She peeled off a small piece, put it to her nose and sniffed it gently, and her heart was suddenly shocked.
Although the blood clots were dried by the fire and the smell was a little lighter, she could still smell that there was no smell of Bone-Eroding Powder in this blood!
Although Bone-Eroding Powder is not particularly precious, it is still worth a lot of money.
The people from the Demon Palace took away the useful corpses, and the remaining bodies of the servants could be completely discarded. Why should they waste money and make unnecessary efforts?
Tang Yin couldn't figure it out. Faintly, she felt that this was a very important clue, so she immediately took out the communication talisman and passed the information to her senior brother Wei Lesheng.
She was so focused on communicating that she didn't notice Xiang Sheng's actions at all.
Xiang Sheng turned his back to Tang Yin, crushed a small piece of blood-clotting liquid in his palm, gently placed a small piece of "Deceiving the Sky" fragment on it, and cast a spell to pull it.
Not long after, a barely visible wisp of cold and gloomy air floated out from the blood. Before it was absorbed into the fragments, it turned into a small ball of chaotic origin in mid-air and dispersed.
It really is yin energy.
Xiang Sheng collected the fragments, a hint of contemplation flashing across his eyes.
This was quite different from Jiang Yi's previous speculation. In the past two years, Jiang Yi and his three companions had been gathering intelligence and discovered that more or less all of the sect's disciples had been ambushed and killed, and all of them had traces of Yin Stone left behind.
Jiang Yi guessed at the time that this was the alliance between the Earth Yin Realm and the Demon Palace, intending to use the power of the Yin Stone to kill all the young geniuses of Dongzhou, so that the Dongzhou cultivators would be in a state of transition and would be defeated without a fight.
This speculation is reasonable. The Yinshi ambush and killing did happen to the talented cultivator in Dongzhou.
Xiang Sheng, however, had a different opinion, but he did not express it explicitly because he had no evidence.
But now, the aura of Yin Stone has been found in the bloodstains even of cultivators from small sects like the Jin Guangzong, so the claim that they ambushed and killed the talented cultivators from Dongzhou does not make sense.
