Seeing the embarrassed expressions of their two subordinates, the eyes of the two Su family priests could not help but sink. The tall and thin man on the left took a step forward and floated directly in the air: "Let me try..."
"yes."
The two men working on the wall quickly climbed down and stood on the ground waiting.
Another short man in white nodded and whispered, "Wu Gongsheng, be careful, this spear is not simple..."
"I see."
Wu Gongsheng nodded, his eyes fixed on the blood-red spear on the wall.
He floated in the air and began to chant a spell, with extremely strong magic power surging in his palms. As the spell was finished, a yellowish-brown square seal gradually condensed in his palms. He held the square seal and slowly pressed it onto the handle of the spear.
However, when the square seal was about to get a few inches closer to the blood-red spear, it suddenly began to disintegrate from the front end, as if some invisible force was dissolving the powerful magic contained in it.
“…How is that possible?!”
When Wu Gongsheng felt that the magic power in his hand was being rejected and decomposed, his face immediately changed.
Patta——
Just as he raised the question in disbelief, the magic power in his hand was suddenly shattered by some kind of vortex, and then the flying magic was dispelled, causing him to fall directly from mid-air.
If the two men standing under the wall had not been quick-witted and used transportation magic to catch Wu Gongfeng, this seventh-ring magician would probably have made a fool of himself.
"Mr. Wu! Are you okay?!"
The white-robed priest also looked incredulous and hurried forward to check on the condition of Wu the priest.
"I'm fine." Wu Gongsheng pushed away the two men who were supporting him and stood up with a serious expression. "It's just that there's something strange about this spear. My magic power is dissipated and decomposed as soon as it gets close. It's indeed an extremely powerful magic-forbidden ability. Even my seventh-ring magic power can't be immune."
The power of forbidden magic can be said to be the nemesis of magicians. Only a few extremely precious treasures can do this.
"Could this spear be some rare secret treasure?" Hearing Wu's words, the white-robed priest glanced at the blood-red spear nailed to the wall and couldn't help but frown. "But if it is a precious secret treasure that can restrain the seven-ring magic power, why didn't this murderer take it back, but just left it here?"
Even many great wizards would covet such a precious treasure and would never just throw it on a corpse like a disposable prop.
"I don't know any magic appraisal skills, so I don't understand the reason behind this..." Wu Gongsheng shook his head. Everyone has their own expertise, and he couldn't tell whether this spear was the result of some secret technique or a precious treasure. "But I don't think we can remove it by ourselves. We can only seek help from the great wizard in the palace."
This crystal clear blood-colored spear actually contained such a powerful anti-magic force that the two of them, seven-ring magicians, were helpless against it.
"Archmages are powerful sorcerers who have condensed their own 'path' and are masters of elemental forces. They are immune to even forbidden magic. Only an archmagus can remove this spear." The white-robed attendant nodded, then glanced at the crowd of onlookers. "However, besides the lord, the only other archmages in this mansion are the two supreme elders."
Every great wizard of the ninth ring level or above is a well-known strong man in the entire Fengwu Province. The Su family has been able to maintain its dominant position in Wuliu City for so many years because it has more than two great wizards.
In addition to the Lord who was newly promoted as a Grand Mage more than ten years ago, the two Supreme Elders who were practicing in seclusion in the mansion were both powerful mages who had surpassed the Nine Rings level.
"The Lord is not in Wuliu City, and he won't be back for this matter anytime soon." Wu Gongfeng shook his head and said in a low voice: "We can only ask the Supreme Elder to come forward, but asking the ancestor to take action for such a matter is really too rude."
As seven-ring magicians, although they are far less powerful than the great magician, they are also well-known masters in Wuliu City. Otherwise, they would not have been hired by the Su family to serve as servants in the mansion at a high price.
But at this time, they couldn't even move a corpse, so they had to ask the Supreme Elder of the Su Mansion for help.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The one who killed someone with the spear is definitely no ordinary expert." The white-robed priest squatted on the ground, pointing to the bloodstains that trailed from the other side of the street all the way to the wall. It was hideous and strange. "Although the magic power on the corpse has been broken down and pulverized, you can see that there is still a lot of magic power left in the remaining blood. This is definitely the fluctuation of a seventh or eighth ring magician. He is stronger than us."
"But such a strong man was nailed to the wall by a single bullet. His death was so miserable and miserable."
The white-robed priest spoke with a chilling tone. A magician who was no weaker than them was nailed to the wall silently like a chicken that was powerless to resist. The whole process of being killed did not even attract the attention of others.
"Now that the Lord is away, I will go and submit my report to the Madam, hoping to get the help of the Supreme Elder. This will help me find out the identity of the deceased and the origins of the murderer."
Wu Gongsheng was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly.
"No."
But just as the two priests were talking, a cold female voice suddenly came from the crowd. The onlookers parted in the middle in a panic, and some servants of low status knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Madam!"
Wu Gongsheng looked at a group of servants surrounding a beautiful young woman in luxurious clothes and with an arrogant temperament, who crossed the cordon and came to the crime scene by the wall. He couldn't help but bow slightly.
The eldest lady's magic rank is the same as theirs, but her social status is much higher than theirs. She is a person who holds considerable power in the Su Mansion.
"I know this deceased person."
When the eldest lady said this, people around her cast curious glances at her, even the relatives of the Su family were no exception.
The eldest lady paid no attention to the others' gazes. She merely shifted her eyes slightly, glancing at the black-robed figure whose chest had been pierced by a nail. After confirming that the man was indeed Hei Yu, her expression gradually darkened. "His name is Hei Yu, and he's one of my men."
"What?!"
"The deceased in black robe was one of Madam's men, so why did he die here?!"
"This person... is the eldest lady's subordinate?"
"Even the eldest lady is implicated. This murder case doesn't seem to be a simple one..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd around her immediately exploded, and even the two priests showed a look of surprise.
