Wu Gongfeng was a little confused and couldn't help but take a step forward: "Madam, this..."
Just as everyone was discussing and the atmosphere was becoming extremely strange, the eldest lady glanced at the sky not far away and said respectfully, "Elder Su Changyun, I still need your help in this matter."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this name. There were two supreme elders in the Su Mansion, both of whom were very famous masters in Fengwu Province and even in the Yuehua Empire.
Su Changyun is not only the greatest wizard in the Su Mansion, but also the greatest wizard in Wuliu City. His magic level is as high as eleven rings, ranking seventy-third on the Magic Cloud List. His fire magic is so powerful that he can burn mountains and boil rivers.
However, this supreme elder has been living in seclusion for a long time, practicing silently in a secret place in the mansion. Not to mention outsiders, even some younger generations in the Su mansion have to wait at least several years before they can see this powerful supreme elder at an important meeting.
But this great wizard, whose voice was only heard but not seen, was actually invited by the eldest lady. Not only the servants, but even the two priests were completely caught off guard.
They thought that if they could invite Elder Su Mu, who was at the peak of the ninth ring in the mansion, they would be very lucky. However, they did not expect that the eldest lady would directly call the ancestor Su Changyun.
"This eldest lady really has a strong background and extensive connections. She has a lot of say in the Su Mansion. Even Elder Su Changyun has to give her face."
The two priests looked at each other, put away their shocked expressions, and respectfully greeted Su Changyun's arrival.
"Welcome the Grand Elder!"
The other relatives of the Su family also hurriedly bowed respectfully, and the servants even knelt on the ground to welcome the arrival of Elder Su Changyun.
Seeing that everyone present was extremely respectful, the eldest lady who had invited Su Changyun to come out of retirement had an expression of indescribable arrogance.
The fact that she could invite the best expert in Wuliu City was enough to show her status and power in the Su Mansion.
"kindness."
A faint voice sounded, and then a ball of fire cloud fell directly from the sky, fell to the ground and dissipated instantly, revealing the figure inside.
Su Changyun was a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance and burly build, wearing a short red coat.
However, this supreme elder only looks young, and his actual age is over 150 years old.
After Su Changyun landed, he glanced at the people around him, and finally set his eyes on the eldest lady. He smiled cheerfully and said, "Girl, I don't know where you provoked such a powerful enemy. You made it impossible for me to cultivate in peace, and now I have to deal with such mundane matters."
"Xiangyu is helpless. My subordinate is a seventh-ring magician, extremely skilled in assassination and concealment. Even if he encounters an eighth-ring magician, even if he is defeated, he can easily escape." The eldest lady's surname is Li, and her name is Xiangyu. She is the eldest daughter of the Li family in Fengwu Province. The Li family's assassins are naturally not comparable to magicians of the same level. "But last night, this subordinate was killed by someone with a single blow, and he didn't even have time to tell me his location. The murderer is so powerful that I'm afraid only you, the Supreme Elder, can subdue him."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Su Changyun waved his hand, then turned his gaze to the spear on the dead man's chest.
This blood-colored spear is about one meter tall, and its entire body is crystal clear, with a faint blood light flowing through it. It is not made of iron or metal, but it does not look like a secret treasure either. Instead, it seems to be condensed from a forbidden secret method.
His pupils suddenly burned as he observed every structure of the spear, trying to decipher the magic circuit running within it.
But obviously...
This approach did not resolve his confusion.
"There's no magic flowing through this spear. It's not even made of any secret treasure or magic." Su Changyun's expression also began to become solemn. He whispered, "This spear is made entirely of blood!"
"blood?!"
The people around exclaimed and showed incredible expressions.
The blood-colored spear that could kill a seven-ring magician with one blow and leave two priests helpless was actually not a secret treasure or magic, but condensed from blood.
"Yes, the source of this forbidden magic power is the power contained in this blood." Su Changyun's expression became solemn, "But there is no magic power contained in it, which means it is not the blood of a monster, but of a human."
Some rare monsters also have the power to ban magic, but in fact it is also a manifestation of powerful magic. However, the blood only contains pure power to ban magic, and it is not converted from magic.
"This blood itself is a forbidden magic."
Su Changyun had lived for 153 years, and this was the first time he had seen such a thing. Deep thought filled his eyes. "But if there was no magic power, how could this blood, which carries the power of forbidden magic, be condensed into a spear? And there wasn't any foreign materials mixed in with it..."
It is common sense for magicians that this world is made up of magic power. If invisible and non-solid blood wants to condense into a sharp spear, how can it maintain such a structure without magic power to maintain the structure?
This eleventh-ringed wizard had never seen such a strange structure before and fell into deep confusion.
Su Changyun pondered for a long time but could not find any relevant information. He turned to look at Li Xiangyu beside him and asked, "Who did you want to kill when you sent this assassin yesterday?"
As a great wizard, he could tell at a glance that the dead man in black robe was a assassin of the Li family. When assassins were sent out at night, they would either kill people or set fires.
Originally, he was too lazy to care about what his juniors did, but now it seemed that they had offended an unknown enemy, and even his tone became a little heavier.
“This…this…”
However, as Su Changyun asked the question, the eldest lady's expression seemed a little hesitant, and even her tone became hesitant.
Sending Hei Yu to assassinate the lord's child, even if she was just an illegitimate daughter with no status or position, saying it openly would lower her reputation and status in the mansion.
Some things can be done in secret. As long as the truth is not known to others, no one will investigate. But if they are done in public, it will undoubtedly challenge the order of the entire family.
Su Changyun saw the other party's hesitation and frowned slightly: "Huh?"
"Madam..."
Even the two priests standing nearby couldn't help but ask.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the eldest lady.
"I didn't send Hei Yu to kill anyone last night, so I don't know anything about the murderer!"
The eldest lady bit her red lips and spread out her hands with an innocent look.
Even she couldn't say in public that she wanted to kill Su Yuechen. As long as she didn't admit it herself, no one could do anything about it.
Even if the matter is investigated later, all the blame can be put on the dead Hei Yu. After all, there is no evidence after death. Su Yuechen is of low status and far inferior to himself. Even if he testifies, it is only one-sided and cannot be regarded as direct evidence.
Moreover, if Su Yuechen really testified against her, she also had the ability to turn black into white and turn the tables.
