"Shocking news! Lingjian Villa was reduced to ruins overnight!"

"The most important news in Long Tang in the past hundred years! Many heroes from the Giant Sword Sect, the National Defense Sect, and the Purple Gold Holy Land attended a gathering at the Spirit Sword Villa, and they all turned to ashes overnight!"

"Shocking secret! Lingjian Villa was brutally massacred because it offended a powerful being from the upper realm. No one knows who is behind this!"

…

Before daybreak, news about the destruction of Lingjian Villa spread throughout the Longtang Empire.

As the news spread, various versions of the rumors also circulated.

Some people said that Lingjian Villa was jointly besieged because it offended the forces of other powerful countries.

Some people said that it was because they offended someone from the Nine Heavens of the Upper Realm and the entire mountain was flattened by someone using a peerless weapon.

Some people also say that Lingjian Mountain is an ancient artifact. The artifact revived last night and turned into a ball of fire and left the world.

The more they talked, the more confused things became, with all kinds of rumors popping up one after another.

As the power center of the Long Tang Empire, Chang'an City had a wide variety of rumors.

However, no matter how many rumors there are.

At this moment, everyone in the Long Tang Empire had a common idea in their minds.

That is...

The history of Lingjian Villa is gone forever!

From now on, there will be no more Lingjian Villa in the world!

…

The main hall of the imperial palace.

Tang Yuan sat upright on the dragon throne with a serious look.

He could never have imagined that after one night, not only did an inexplicable fire break out in the palace, but even Lingjian Villa was razed to the ground.

These abnormalities made him feel very uneasy and uneasy.

With a sigh, he glanced at the people kneeling in the hall, and asked in a deep voice, "Any clues about the fire and the assassin last night?"

One of the Four Divine Guards, the Azure Dragon Guard, stepped forward and said, "My Lord, that assassin's movements were strange and his skills were extraordinary. Although the four of us tried our best to catch him, he still escaped."

"Waste!" Tang Yuan couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the four divine guards showed expressions of horror and lowered their heads, not daring to say anything more.

"Can the Six Gates find some clues about the destruction of Lingjian Villa?" Tang Yuan asked again.

Although he was angry in his heart, he knew that this matter was extremely difficult and he could not blame it entirely on the Four Divine Guards.

So he changed the subject and focused on the more important Lingjian Villa.

The leader of the Six Gates, Qiu Yulong, said tremblingly: "My Lord, we have not found any clues so far."

"It's such a big matter, but there is not even a clue. What's the use of me having your Six Gates?" Tang Yuan suddenly got angry after hearing this.

Although Lingjian Villa is at the bottom of the royal interest group, it has a ripple effect on the entire group.

Now that Lingjian Villa has been destroyed, no one even knows who the murderer is.

Wouldn't the entire royal family have to face dangerous enemies from unknown sources?

Now the enemy is in the dark and the royal family is in the light. It would be strange if Tang Yuan didn't get angry!

"Investigate! Investigate with all your strength!"

"Even if we have to turn the entire Long Tang Empire upside down, we must find out the reason!"

"Yes, sir!"

…

Purple Gold Holy Land.

As one of the ten holy places in the entire Canglong Continent, the holy place is surrounded by spiritual energy and seems like a fairyland.

It represents the highest status in the entire Long Tang Empire's martial arts world and is worshipped by thousands of monks.

Generally speaking, even the largest sect in the martial arts world of the Long Tang Empire is not qualified to enter the holy land at will.

But today is different.

People from the Huguo Sect, the Jujian Sect and even the royal family came to the most solemn and noble Tianyue Hall in the holy land.

At this time in the hall.

Bai Zhuoyu, one of the elders of the holy land, looked at everyone with a serious look.

"For a great Saint Land master to die in such an unclear way is simply a huge joke!"

Bai Zhuoyu was a powerful warrior at the legendary ten-star realm. His angry voice made the entire hall tremble three times.

Yao Zhan, deputy leader of the National Defense Sect, and Hong Dinglei, leader of the Giant Sword Sect, who were sitting below, could not help but change color when they heard this.

Especially Hong Dinglei, he was really uneasy this time.

The reason why Lingjian Villa was able to establish a relationship with the Purple Gold Holy Land was because of him acting as the go-between.

Now, the eldest senior brother of the holy land, Liu Changsheng, went to Lingjian Villa to drink and was killed.

If the Holy Land were to blame for this matter, the entire Giant Sword Sect would be in trouble.

"Is there really no clue at all?"

Bai Zhuoyu is not the Holy Lord of the Holy Land and cannot decide whether to retaliate against the Giant Sword Sect. His task now is to find some clues.

Hong Dinglei thought for a moment and said, "Elder Bai, I do have some guesses, but..."

"Just say whatever you want to say." Bai Zhuoyu said proudly, "Even if you offend someone from the Nine Heavens of the Upper Realm, our Holy Land can still cover it for you!"

"That's good!" Hong Dinglei nodded, "What you guys don't know is that there is a God-killing Sword Spirit under Lingjian Villa. The God-killing Sword Master was born a few days ago, and this accident happened last night."

"I checked before I came here. The God-killing Sword Spirit had already disappeared. I don't know whether it was destroyed or taken away by someone. Anyway, there is a big mystery here."

Bai Zhuoyu and others all frowned when they heard this.

Hong Dinglei's words contain a lot of information.

To sum up, he suspected that the destruction of Lingjian Villa was related to the God-killing Sword Master!

Bai Zhuoyu's eyes flashed coldly: "I have also heard of the name of Lin Yue, the master of the God-killing Sword, in the past few days. What you said makes me doubt him."

"But words are useless, we can't just ask him like this!"

Yao Zhan frowned and said, "Moreover, Lin Yue is not only extremely powerful, but also has the support of the East Emperor Country. Even the Holy Lord favors him. Without real evidence, how can we pry him open his mouth?"

At this time even Bai Zhuoyu was silent.

Yao Zhan was right. Given Lin Yue's background and ability, it would not be easy to touch him.

Also, right now this is all just speculation.

For someone of Lin Yue's status, no one is qualified to ask him based on this speculation.

"Let me try."

At this time, a voice like the sound of nature rang out.

As a fragrant breeze blew in through the door, everyone saw an extremely pretty figure slowly walking in.

She was wearing a white gauze dress and a veil.

Although her face could not be seen clearly, it could be seen from her posture that she was definitely a stunningly beautiful woman.

"As expected of the First Saintess of the Ten Holy Lands, her reputation is well-deserved!"

"This kind of appearance and temperament is really comparable to that of a fairy from the Ninth Heaven!"

Seeing Qing Lixue walk in, everyone couldn't help but admire her in their hearts.

Qing Lixue not only has amazing talent, but at the age of ten she had already become the youngest saint in the history of the Purple Gold Holy Land.

Moreover, her appearance is extremely stunning. Among the ten holy ladies in the ten holy places of Canglong Continent, she is undoubtedly the most beautiful one!

As she walked slowly, even Hong Dinglei, Yao Zhan and others who had extremely firm minds felt their heartbeats slightly quicken.

Bai Zhuoyu was surprised and asked, "Junior Brother Lixue, are you planning to use the 'Heavenly Heart Interrogation' technique against Lin Yue?"

Qing Lixue stood in the center of the hall, and everyone noticed that her body was trembling slightly.

I only heard her trembling voice saying: "Senior Brother Changsheng treated me like a real brother. Now he died in an unclear way. I must find out the mastermind behind the death and avenge him!"

"Since Lin Yue is a suspect, I will go down the mountain to meet him. If it is really him, I will kill him at all costs!"

“No!” Bai Zhuoyu quickly stood up to stop her, “Junior Sister Lixue, your Tianxin torture technique is powerful, but you are a saint after all…”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qing Lixue.

"Elder, please stop talking. I have made up my mind! I must see Lin Yue!"

Qing Lixue said this resolutely and turned to leave.
