Chapter 165 I am also a victim
The two men in black robes were wrapped tightly the whole time, leaving no trace, but they entered and exited the formation very quickly, obviously they understood the formation.
When talking about formations, the first person that came to everyone's mind was Zhong Ling'er. Coupled with their similar heights, many people looked over with suspicion.
Zhong Linger slapped her thigh angrily, jumped up, pointed at the sky and shouted, "It's the black-robed man again, Dean Tianxuan, who did they kill this time? Which of your disciples died?"
Not only did you burn down my Sutra Library, but you also cursed my disciple to death? Dean Tianxuan said angrily: "My disciple is not dead!"
"How many gentlemen died?"
Dean Tianxuan was speechless. It seemed that a few people in my academy must die, right?
"No one died, but most of the books in my academy's scripture library were stolen before the fire!"
Everyone was shocked. The Sutra Library of Tianji Academy contained most of the skills of several declining forces in Dongzhou. Its value was immeasurable. No wonder Dean Tianxuan was so angry.
"Oh, it turns out that only the book was lost and no one died. That's not a big deal. Dean Tianxuan, calm down and look for it slowly. You will always find it. If it doesn't work, just think of it as a loss to avoid disaster and keep yourself safe."
Zhong Ling'er relaxed and patiently comforted Dean Tianxuan, comforting him so much that his face turned black.
"It's not a big deal, Zhong Ling'er. In your mind, what is a big deal? The books in the Sutra Library were painstakingly searched for by successive teachers and disciples over the past ten thousand years. Each one is extremely precious."
Zhong Ling'er said solemnly, "Dean Tianxuan, I understand how you feel, but your little thing is nothing compared to ours. Don't think I am just being easy on myself. You and I share the same hatred for the enemy. These black-robed men not only stole your books, but also wanted to kill our people. I also have a few photo stones here. Please take a look at how worthless these black-robed men are. They deserve to die."
Zhong Ling'er also threw out a photo-taking stone, and a different scene appeared in front of everyone.
Above the molten lava, a man in black robe was fighting with Ouyang Ruochen, trying to take Ouyang Ruochen's life with every move. On a dead tree floating in the molten lava, several Taiqiong Sect disciples were trembling in fear.
"If someone hadn't come to my aid, my senior brother would have died at the hands of this black-robed man. But this is not the end. When they failed to kill him once, they even tried a second time."
After Zhong Ling'er finished speaking, she threw out another photo stone.
Under the cover of night, a handsome man was trapped in a large formation. A man in black robe was fighting with the man in the formation. It turned out that these two men had combined their skills.
Another man in black attacked Ouyang Ruochen and Zhong Ling'er, and there were several Taiqiong Sect disciples behind them. The man used his power to force them to kneel down, intending to kill them.
"Everyone, you can't imagine how thrilling it was back then. I was just at the foundation-building stage, and my senior brother was only at the Nascent Soul stage, but the people who came to kill us were all powerful combined-body warriors. If my master hadn't arrived in time, the grass on my senior brother's and my grave would be as tall as a person now."
"These damned black-robed people are either stealing or killing people. Everyone should be vigilant when they see them. It is best to kill them directly so that they dare not do evil again."
Zhong Ling'er spoke with righteous indignation, like a complete victim, causing many people's eyes to change from suspicion to sympathy.
"Well, Mr. Zhong is right. We must find these people to prevent them from continuing to do evil. That's why Dean Tianxuan asked everyone to identify this person and see if we can find some clues."
Taoist Tianming stepped forward and brought the topic back to where it had gone off track.
Zhong Linger nodded heavily, "Pavilion Master Tianming is right. Everyone, please help identify the people who attacked us. Although the black-clothed man has a high level of cultivation, his martial arts skills are very poor. He is an eighth-grade formation cultivator. Moreover, he is not wearing a loose black robe, so his figure is easier to recognize. Everyone, please help identify the eighth-grade formation master who appeared in Dongzhou some time ago!"
"Formation masters are already rare, and with the addition of the eighth rank, there are only a few of them."
"Yeah, there are only two people in Nanzhou that I know. One is fatter, and the other is tall and thin, which doesn't match this person's body shape."
"It seems that there are no eighth-grade formation masters in Dongzhou, but there are three in Tianji Pavilion. Didn't Master Xu who was maintaining the academy's formation come here some time ago?"
Someone in the crowd reminded them, and many people suddenly realized, yes, that figure from behind looks a bit like Master Xu!
Many people's eyes became intriguing, and kept wandering between Zhong Ling'er and Dean Tianxuan.
"Hey, don't mention it, the formation displayed by this formation is really similar to the formation in front of the academy. This person has a bad character and his formation technique is also poor. A good eighth-grade formation can only produce the power of a sixth-grade formation. It's really rubbish."
Zhong Ling'er's expression was full of contempt, and she looked at Dean Tianxuan with a colder gaze, as if she wanted to see how you would explain it.
Dean Tianxuan was so angry that his beard stood up. No, he was catching a thief, but how come he caught himself?
"Zhong Ling'er, don't say that. How can you pin the blame on our elders based on a little speculation?"
Taoist Tianming had to speak again, feeling secretly angry. Such a good thing was ruined by these idiots, leaving so many traces behind.
Dean Tianxuan was also dissatisfied. He only sent Master Xu to set up a formation, but who asked him to meddle in other people's business and take action himself, and even asked someone to record it with a photo stone. How stupid!
Zhong Linger grinned and bared her teeth. "What Pavilion Master Tianming said is really like allowing the governor to set fires but not the people to light lamps. When it comes to guessing, I am far inferior to you. Aren't you just putting the blame on me based on the fact that the man is short and knows how to set up formations? In comparison, my guess is more well-founded. Judging from the formation setting method, it is really the same person. This is true."
"Ridiculous, this is just your one-sided statement. How can you convict someone based on the way they set up the formation? Don't talk about other things. I'm asking for clues about the person who stole the books."
"Master Tianming, you don't understand. The formation techniques of formation masters are marked in the eyes of experts. The formation of your academy is only of the sixth level, and the techniques are crude. People who know a little about formations can understand it at a glance. Therefore, a fifth-level formation master can understand it. If he teaches others how to enter and exit the formation, it will not be difficult for them to enter and exit the formation at will."
"To be honest, after taking a look at the image stone just now, I know what your academy's formation is all about. If you don't believe me, I can just hire someone and tell him how to get there, and he can easily walk in and take a look."
Dean Tianxuan said angrily: "According to what you said, the formation of my Tianji Academy is meaningless, and anyone can come to my academy and take a walk around!"
