The Immortal-Picking Saint didn't know that at this moment the Sheng family had also discovered that the person they brought into Cangzhou had suddenly disappeared. No one knew where he had gone. They used the family's special tracking method but couldn't find him, and his soul lamp had also gone out.
This means that this group of people are dead.
The Sheng family has always enjoyed a very high prestige in Jiuzhou over the years. Even during Mu Lingjiu's reign, the Sheng family was never troubled, and no one dared to kill someone from the Sheng family so blatantly.
Sheng Mingyue was very angry.
Unable to find the target, he suddenly remembered what Mu Lingjiu had said before.
She knew that it was most likely the Immortal Emperor who did it.
But is it really necessary for an emperor to take action?
Sheng Mingyue planned to go and find out the truth, but the other party's cultivation was too high, so it was not a wise move to find out now.
It just so happened that at this time I heard that the Bai family was in turmoil.
Most of the Bai family members also disappeared. They believed that it was done by the Mu family from Cangzhou. Because he was unwilling to submit to Mu Lingjiu, they used such shady means.
However, no one from Cangzhou came to care about the Bai family. Mu Lifeng from Cangzhou had already left, and the Bai family felt that he was absconding from the crime.
Bai Wenjin ordered the Bai family to capture Mu Lifeng and others.
Sheng Mingyue ordered his subordinates, "Go and take a look, and invite Bai Wenjin over."
Soon Bai Wenjin came to Sheng Mingyue, but because of the conflicts between them, Bai Wenjin also disliked Sheng Mingyue.
"What? Are the Sheng family here to laugh at me?" Bai Wenjin was full of coldness and hatred.
Sheng Mingyue shrugged, "I'm not that boring."
"I wonder when Fairy Sheng will look for me?"
"Some people in our Sheng family have disappeared inexplicably, and their cultivation levels are around the level of Spirit Master." Sheng Mingyue said.
Bai Wenjin was suspicious, "Really?"
Sheng Mingyue nodded, "It's absolutely true. The Sheng family was stationed outside the city. They originally wanted to meet us there, but there is no one left. The soul lamp is also extinguished. I think they were killed."
"It's the same in my Bai family." Bai Wenjin frowned, feeling very annoyed at the moment.
They had just lost money some time ago, and now they were going to lose so many people. The whole family suffered such a huge blow that he could hardly bear it.
"Have you found out who's behind this? Was it someone from the Mu family?"
Sheng Mingyue shook her head, "No. Mu Lifeng is only at the level of a Spiritual Venerable. It's impossible for him to kill so many of us without making any sound. He must be someone even more powerful."
"Mu Lingjiu can do it." Bai Wenjin said firmly.
Sheng Mingyue also thought about it, but...
"Mu Lingjiu never does such meaningless things. Why did she kill those people at my door?"
Moreover, Sheng Mingyue still remembered clearly what Mu Lingjiu had reminded her of before.
She thought, maybe it was really as Mu Lingjiu said, that person should be the Emperor Zhaixian.
She was also very doubtful. Does an emperor really need to do this?
It seems that it is not necessary...
Thoughts came and went. Sheng Mingyue thought that even if she asked Bai Wenjin to give it a try, she might be able to find some clues.
"I heard something."
Bai Wenjin immediately asked, "What?"
"It's another person who wants to kill people." Sheng Mingyue pointed to the sky, where the Emperor Zhaixian was.
"How is that possible?" Bai Wenjin shook his head, disagreeing at all. "That man practices Buddhism and is righteous. He would never kill. It couldn't be his."
"Then tell me, who else can achieve this level of stealth without anyone noticing?" Sheng Mingyue sighed, "Even I don't dare to say I can do it to this extent. If you don't believe me, let's give it a try."
Bai Wenjin hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, tell me how to try it."
Sheng Mingyue said the words she had thought of long ago.
"If he really killed someone, he must have had a purpose. Maybe it was to provoke internal strife among us, or maybe he needed to kill for his own sake. Both are possible. But no matter which one it is, he will definitely continue to kill. If you observe secretly, there will always be clues. For example, the smell that lingers on the body after killing."
Sheng Mingyue looked at Bai Wenjin with certainty, "I heard that your Bai family once received a magical medicine from the Empress of Slaughter, which can make one's sense of smell more sensitive. It's called the Odor Spirit. Can you give it a try?"
Bai Wenjin frowned. "The smell spirit can only last for 24 hours. It's something you need at critical moments. And the person who uses it will have their sense of smell severely degraded, or even lose it altogether."
"Don't worry, I will help treat you." Sheng Mingyue said.
Bai Wenjin sneered, "Do you think I will still believe you?"
"Don't worry about my sincerity. I can give you 10,000 Divine Source Stones as a deposit first. How about it?" Sheng Mingyue asked.
When Bai Wenjin heard that there were 10,000 Divine Source Stones, he was immediately attracted.
No matter what, he took 10,000 Divine Source Stones first. He had lost 50,000 to Sheng Mingyue before.
"Okay." He pretended to be hesitant but agreed readily.
Sheng Mingyue asked the servants behind him to take out two thousand divine source stones.
"Here are two thousand Divine Source Stones for you. I'll give it to you after eight thousand are made."
Bai Wenjin's expression suddenly changed, "Are you lying to me again?"
"I have never lied to you." Sheng Mingyue said seriously, "If I had become the Spirit Emperor, you would have been so successful now. It's a pity that I spent so many God Source Stones but failed. I didn't mean to lie to you."
"Really? What did you mean by saying those things to Mingkong at that time?" Bai Wenjin pressed.
Sheng Mingyue said helplessly, "To tell you the truth, I suspected something was wrong with him at the time and used those words to blast him, not knowing whether he was the real Mingkong or the fake one. Now I have judged that he is 70% fake."
"Fake?" Bai Wenjin couldn't believe it.
Sheng Mingyue nodded in confirmation, "Believe me, you and I are both on the same boat, how could I lie to you?"
After hearing this, Bai Wenjin actually felt a little elated.
The fact that Sheng Mingyue, such a proud and elegant person, actually said these words to him naturally made him very confident.
Coming out of Sheng Mingyue's room hand in hand, Lu Zhibai immediately went to get the smelling spirit, and then went to find Mingkong.
He has been visiting the Immortal Saint very frequently these days, and has been giving him many good things every day in order to curry his favor successfully.
Unfortunately, the things he gave away were thrown aside by the Immortal Picking Saint, and he would only see him once in a while.
I don’t know if I will see him this time.
Bai Wenjin was stopped as soon as he arrived at the palace gate.
"The Emperor is resting, what do you want?"
Bai Wenjin smiled and said, "I have found some good things to present to the emperor. I hope to see him."
"The Emperor said that he won't see anyone today. If you have anything, just give it to me directly and I'll deliver it on your behalf."
Bai Wenjin naturally would not agree and took out two jade toads from his arms.
"This is a gift to you. Can you be flexible?"
The jade toad is a good thing. The young man who received the gift nodded and said, "Okay, considering your filial piety, I will tell you the truth. Come tonight. Our emperor may meet guests."
"Okay, thank you." Bai Wenjin thanked him very friendly and sat down not far away to wait.
