Zuan approached the kneeling Shouyang shamans nearby and mimicked their posture, looking ahead: "They are not kneeling to pray to that statue, but to someone of high status."
Upon hearing this, the others were all startled and hurriedly imitated him, adopting the same posture as the Shouyang Shamans, looking towards the direction of the high platform. Their expressions gradually became solemn, clearly indicating that they also agreed with his judgment.
"There are very few people in the world who can command such respect from all the Shouyang witches," the Goddess of Wushan said in a deep voice, her admiration for Zu'an growing stronger.
Just a short time ago, when everyone was completely clueless, he was able to deduce so much information from these details.
She was naturally quiet, but even her heart, which had remained calm for many years, was now stirred with ripples.
"Could it be some high-ranking deity in the Heavenly Court?" Zu An looked at Wu Hui, wanting him to think about whether there was anyone in the Heavenly Court who matched similar characteristics.
Wu Hui was furious: "Bullshit! How could the Heavenly Court have such a schemer? In my opinion, he is most likely a member of the Witch Clan. Only someone of the Witch Clan could make Shouyang Witch so devout."
Anger points from Wu Hui: +299 +299 +299...
The Mermaid Queen said, "The Witch Clan has always been unruly, and the various tribes look down on each other. Apart from the Goddess Houtu and a few Ancestral Witches, I'm afraid no one else can command such respect from all the Shouyang Witches. Do you think they are the masterminds behind this?"
Although she wasn't a true member of the Witch Clan, she had more contact with them while serving as a saintess in the Chang Clan, and subconsciously felt closer to them, so she couldn't help but refute them.
Flames suddenly erupted from Wu Hui's body, clearly indicating his anger, but he dared not respond. Even though he was the Fire Master, accusing those figures could easily cause a huge uproar.
Zuan began to ponder, could it really be those few beings from the Witch Clan?
For example, Houtu Niangniang is somewhat suspicious. I came to this world because of her, and the Mermaid Queen was probably sent by her as well. She clearly knew about the situation of the Chang clan before, but she seemed to deliberately hide it.
There's also Gonggong, who confronted the Heavenly Emperor at Zhongshan. Thinking back to when I saw the last Gonggong being sealed in the secret realm, I have to say that Gonggong really has the air of an evil villain.
Of course, there were also suspects in the Heavenly Court...
"Although the scope has been narrowed, unless further clues can be found, any accusations are meaningless to beings of this level." As the Goddess of Wushan spoke, she looked at Zu'an, wondering if this man could bring more surprises.
After the initial joy of reunion and the sadness of recalling the past, Yun Yuqing finally saw clearly the two women beside Zu An.
"Manman!" she exclaimed, both surprised and delighted, and grabbed the hands of the Goddess of Wushan.
Having arrived in this unfamiliar world, she lost contact with two close sisters. Now, seeing her old friends again, how could she not be overjoyed?
At the same time, he also had some complaints in his mind. The other woman was also incredibly beautiful. Since Manman was by his side, how could he be allowed to go around flirting with other women?
The key thing is that the flowers they pick up are so incredibly beautiful every time, which puts a lot of pressure on me.
The Goddess of Wushan was always aloof and unaccustomed to his enthusiasm. She subconsciously withdrew her hand and took a step back. At the same time, she thought to herself, "It seems he really didn't lie to me. There really is a woman named Manman by his side who looks exactly like me. Even this girl, whom I met by chance, mistook me for him."
"Manman, what's wrong?" Sensing her aloofness, Yun Yuqing was stunned.
"She's not Manman, she just looks a lot like her. She's the Goddess of Wushan in this world," Zu'an awkwardly explained. "Goddess, please don't mind..."
Before she could finish speaking, the Goddess of Wushan smiled and said, "How could I possibly mind such a small matter? It's clear that Miss Yun and Miss Manman have a very good relationship."
She was also a little curious. So many outstanding women seemed to be related to him. Didn't they have any grudges between them? How could they be so close as sisters?
"So it's the Goddess of Wushan..." Yun Yuqing hurriedly apologized to her, while secretly observing her. The way she looked at Brother Zu seemed strange. I really underestimated Brother Zu.
"This young lady looks somewhat familiar, Miss Shang?" Yun Yuqing's gaze quickly fell on the mermaid queen beside her. Although there was a veil over her face, you could still make out most of her features if you got close.
"She only looks like Liu Yu; she is Chang'e, the holy maiden of the Chang clan." With outsiders present, Zu An found it difficult to explain her identity as the mermaid queen.
Upon hearing this, Wu Hui and the golden-armored warriors all turned their heads. This kid is a playboy. How come he has lovers who look alike everywhere he goes?
Even the Goddess of Wushan couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. She never expected that even the Holy Maiden of the Chang Clan beside her would look exactly like his lover, which was truly outrageous.
Feeling pressure from all sides, Zu'an also felt like he was being pricked by needles, and hurriedly said loudly, "I just remembered a clue."
"What?"
Sure enough, everyone's attention was immediately diverted.
Zuan pointed to the chieftain of the Dishouyang Wu clan standing to the side: "Does anyone know where his room is?"
"This..." Although the Goddess of Wushan had been to Shouyang Mountain, she had never actually been to the clan leader's room.
Wu Hui snorted, "That's not difficult. The clan leader's residence is obviously different from others, and their clan worships fire..."
As he spoke, the flames around him transformed into tiny figures, which scattered throughout Shouyang Mountain.
There was no need to look for those lower-level platforms; how could the clan leader possibly live there? Soon, one by one, the little flame figures flew back, seemingly whispering something in Wu Hui's ear.
"Over there." Wu Hui had barely finished speaking when he flew off in a certain direction.
Everyone followed, and soon they arrived at a house.
The gate was made of copper from Shouyang Mountain and had two ferocious bronze animal heads on it. However, the gate was wide open at the moment, and the scene inside was completely visible.
Nine pillars are arranged in a special star shape, and the pillars are covered with the skins of various famous ferocious beasts, which seem to be decorations used by the chieftain to proclaim his bravery.
In the center is a furnace, connected to the earth fire of Shouyang Mountain, burning year-round. Beside it are various forging tools, clearly indicating that the clan leader is constantly researching the art of weapon forging.
However, the room was in a mess, as if it had been looted not long ago.
Zuan came to the furnace and found a clump of ashes inside, from which he could vaguely make out a few pieces of tortoise shell, which were used by the witch clan for divination.
At this moment, his heart sank to the bottom. He had originally thought that as the head of a clan, even if the other party was constrained by his status to create such an evil weapon, it was impossible that he would not have taken any precautions. He must have left some clues. Now it seems that the mysterious murderer had the same idea as him.
Just then, a strange sound rang out, and everyone subconsciously looked up. It turned out that a string of animal tooth wind chimes hanging from the roof suddenly started moving without any wind.
As the ringing of the bell rang, a rumbling earthquake shook the land, as if something had been activated.
"Lord Huozheng, look outside..." The golden-armored warriors guarding outside were the first to react, and they were all extremely shocked.
