Shang Ziming's question hit the nail on the head, making You Rui think deeply.
That's right. The other party couldn't have offended the Hanling Sect for no reason. So what was their motive?
You Rui shook his head. "I rushed over after seeing the signal, but I don't know the specifics. I need to go to Hanling Sect to find out first."
He casually tossed aside the royal realm cultivator he had subdued, and the man was as if he had been granted a pardon.
He said to Shang Ziming, "Young Master Shang, farewell."
Shang Ziming nodded slightly, "See you again if fate allows. I wish Protector You all the best."
You Rui then asked the heavens, "I would like to trouble Pavilion Master Tian to come with me and help me find out the truth about this matter."
His tone was more like an order than a request.
Tianwen didn't feel anything was wrong and nodded in agreement quite naturally, "I'm happy to help."
Dark Palace You, along with Tianwen and Tianheng from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, flew to the Cold Spirit Sect.
Shang Ziming and Manager Qian also left.
After the three bigwigs left, the remaining people started discussing it curiously.
"Who do you think killed Han Qinghui and Han Li? And why?"
"Who knows? We certainly know Han Qinghui's strength."
As the Emperor of the Dark Palace said, there are not many who can defeat Han Qinghui, even fewer who can kill him, and even fewer who can kill him instantly.
It's practically impossible for someone to instantly kill Han Qinghui while protected by an Emperor-level shield.
"Do you think it's possible that this was done by one of their three leaders?"
"Hehe, it's not impossible. Ordinary people don't have the strength, the means, or the courage."
"This person is wearing the Hanling Sect's attire, so he must have infiltrated the Hanling Sect."
Finally, Han Qinghui discovered them and chased after them. What did he do this time?
"They must have taken some amazing treasure."
These people discussed it extensively here, and even after returning to their respective places, they did not stop, spreading the word further and further, causing quite a stir.
This is understandable, as the Ling Mountain Cloud Sea has always been calm and peaceful, firmly under the control of the three giants. Today's events are quite rare.
...
Ghost-faced You Rui brought Tianwen and Tianheng to the Hanling Sect. After some investigation, they learned that the Hanling Sect's Water Law had been stolen.
He was very confused about this, as the Dark Palace had specially sealed this Water Law with an array to cultivate the Cold Spirit Sect.
This news was known to very few people even within the Hanling Sect, except for core members of the sect.
So how did the attackers know about this?
Furthermore, the Emperor Realm of the Dark Palace once considered taking this law for himself, but unfortunately, he couldn't take it with him no matter what, and in the end, he had no choice but to leave it to the Cold Spirit Sect.
So how did the other party take it away?
According to the testimonies of the Hanling Sect members, Han Qinghui was still cultivating inside at the time. How did the other party manage to break through the formation so quietly and take away the Water Law?
You Rui was increasingly confused; even he, an Emperor Realm expert, was bewildered.
Could it be that the opponent possesses extraordinary abilities, capable of ignoring formations and easily subduing the laws of water? But how could that be possible?
He asked Tianwen and Tianheng, "What are your thoughts?"
After pondering for a moment, Tianwen thought, "This person might be an Emperor Realm expert, and not just any ordinary Emperor Realm expert, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have accomplished all this."
Tianheng chimed in, "I think so too, and I have a bold guess: this person might even be someone we know?"
You Rui raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? Are you saying this is someone from the Treasure Pavilion?"
Tianheng nodded. "Yes, only an Emperor Realm expert could accomplish this. Those who were watching were all deceived."
The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Dark Palace would never do such a thing, so the most suspicious party is the Treasure Pavilion.
You Rui frowned. "No, why are they doing this? If they really wanted to trade directly with us, they wouldn't need to use this method."
Tianwen said quietly, "Perhaps this law has other extraordinary uses that are not convenient to reveal to us. Once a deal is proposed, the matter will be exposed."
Upon hearing this, You Rui remained silent, lost in thought with his head down.
His intuition told him it was impossible, but he had to admit that the two men's analysis made sense.
Tianwen and his son Tianheng successfully led the masked man astray.
But that's understandable, it seems only Jubaoge has that kind of strength.
...
On their way back to Jubao Pavilion, Shang Ziming and Manager Qian talked about what had happened that day.
Shang Ziming took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Qian, what do you think of what happened today?"
Manager Qian shook his head. "With limited information, I can't see through him either. But this person is taking such a big risk, he must have something in mind. I wonder what it is?"
Shang Ziming smiled.
"Haha, things have been quite lively lately. Qin Feng has emerged from the south, and a courageous figure has also appeared in Lingshan Yunhai."
His actions were tantamount to challenging the entire Dark Temple single-handedly. Truly interesting; he's a real man.
Seeing Shang Ziming's appearance, Manager Qian asked curiously:
"Could it be that the young master is also interested in this person and wants to include him in the selection?"
Shang Ziming shook his head.
"It's too early to say now. I don't know this person at all, unlike Qin Feng. Let's talk about it later. If it's suitable, it's not impossible."
Manager Qian suddenly said, "Young master, do you think the people from the Dark Palace will think we did it?"
Shang Ziming was taken aback by what he heard, and then shook his head helplessly.
"You never know, maybe we really will become the scapegoats. Heh, so what? Let them guess."
...
Qin Feng had used the Heaven-Stabilizing Pearl multiple times, killing Han Qinghui and then instantly killing Han Li. He was not in good condition at the moment.
