Seeing Liu Zhaoye's surprised face, Liu Yu was furious. Suppressing her anger, she said, "Brother, wasn't it she who reported to me that you were transporting those immortal medicines and precious materials to your Tianshi Palace? How could you be so cruel?"
Liu Zhaoye was immediately shocked when he heard this. He looked at his good sister and asked, "Do you suspect that I killed Yuan'er?"
Liu Yu looked at Liu Zhaoye with red eyes and asked, "Besides you, who else did she offend?"
Liu Zhaoye said, "I know she reported the matter of the immortal medicine and precious materials to you, but I don't care! Do you think I would argue with a retainer disciple? If I cared about this matter, how could I use a flying boat to transport those immortal medicine and precious materials?"
But Liu Yu didn't believe him at all. He pointed at the disciples behind Liu Zhaoye and asked, "What are they doing here?"
Liu Zhaoye said, "It's unprecedented that a disciple of the Tianshi Mansion was killed at the foot of the Tianshi Mansion. I suspect someone within the Tianshi Mansion is plotting something bad, so I sent them here to protect you and Huan'er."
"Haha!" Liu Yu sneered when he heard this and said, "Protection? You mean surveillance, right?"
Liu Zhaoye said in disbelief, "Is this how you view your brother?"
Liu Yu said calmly, "Brother? You're no longer the brother you once were. You took so many medicinal herbs and precious materials from Baofangyuan in Huan'er's name, but you didn't even give Huan'er a single herb leaf. You took the medicinal herbs and precious materials from Baofangyuan and even went to such great lengths to transport them directly to your Tianshi Palace using a flying boat. You're no longer the cautious, low-key and humble brother Liu Zhaoye I once was!"
Hearing Liu Yu's words, Liu Zhaoye fell silent for a moment. Then he looked up at Liu Yu and said, "No matter what, your and Huan'er's safety is the most important."
After saying this, he turned to the five female disciples from the True Immortal Realm and said, "From today on, you are responsible for the safety of the Great Celestial Master Palace. Without my decree, anyone who dares to approach will be killed!"
Upon hearing this, the five True Immortal disciples immediately bowed and said, "We will follow the instructions of the Heavenly Master."
Liu Zhaoye turned to Liu Yu and said, "No matter if I'm the same Liu Zhaoye as before, I will never let anyone hurt you and Huan'er. You shouldn't leave the Grand Heavenly Master Palace for the time being."
After saying that, Liu Zhaoye walked out of the main hall of the Great Heavenly Master Palace and went straight to the Dragon and Tiger Hall.
Liu Yu looked at Liu Zhaoye's back with gritted teeth, and suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Liu Zhaoye.
But the teacup was shattered by a ray of fairy light when it was three feet away from Liu Zhaoye, and the teacup broke into jade powder and scattered all over the ground.
...
Liu Zhaoye quickly gathered everyone in the Dragon and Tiger Hall to discuss the matter, but this time the atmosphere in the Dragon and Tiger Hall was somewhat unusual.
Liu Zhaoye sat in the first seat of the auxiliary heavenly master, and Qu Han and Gao Jing sat in the second seat of the auxiliary heavenly master.
The eight chief priests sat in the chief priest positions on the left in turn, with Fang Jian at the last position.
"A servant in the Grand Master's Palace was killed and his soul was scattered. Do you all know about this?" Liu Zhaoye went straight to the point, and his tone was full of strong questioning.
Qu Han and Gao Jing nodded, and then Gao Jing spoke up, "The Grand Heavenly Master's attendant was killed at the mountain gate. This has never happened in all the years since the Heavenly Master's Mansion was established!"
Qu Han continued Gao Jing's words, "We must conduct a thorough investigation to find the murderer!"
The seven chief priests said nothing, but their expressions were different. However, Fang Jian, who was sitting in the last seat, could see the gazes of everyone present.
After Qu Han said that a thorough investigation would be conducted, the Dragon and Tiger Hall fell into silence.
Liu Zhaoye himself could clearly sense that the atmosphere was somewhat eerie. Thinking of this, he immediately turned to the Discipline Hall's Chief Priest, Wang Zhonghu, and said, "Wang, this matter is under the jurisdiction of the Discipline Hall. You must find the murderer as soon as possible."
When Wang Zhonghu saw Liu Zhaoye call his name, he immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Yes, disciple will obey the command of the Heavenly Master."
Liu Zhaoye nodded, then said to the other priests, "All of you priests must fully cooperate with the Discipline Hall to find Yuan'er's murderer."
"Yes." Everyone obeyed the order, but only Fang Jian remained indifferent, which made everyone present very confused.
Then, Gao Jing turned to Fang Jian and said, "Master Hongqing, what are your thoughts?"
Fang Jian said calmly, "How long will it take to investigate? Since this kind of thing has never happened in the Tianshi Mansion, it's enough to prove that there is a problem in the Tianshi Mansion now. Maybe the person who killed attendant Yuan'er is sitting in this Dragon and Tiger Hall."
As soon as Fang Jian said this, the entire Dragon and Tiger Hall exploded.
First up was Liu Zhaoye, who was already suspected by his sister of having killed Yuan'er. When he heard Fang Jian say this, his brows furrowed and he asked, "Master Hongqing, what do you mean?"
After Liu Zhaoye questioned Fang Jian, the others also questioned Fang Jian.
"Master Hongqing, what do you mean by this?"
"You doubt us?"
"Master Hongqing, please explain clearly."
Facing everyone's questioning, Fang Jian calmly asked, "Are there any cultivators in Donglu other than the Tianshi Mansion?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Fang Jian's question, and then Liu Zhaoye said, "No."
Fang Jian asked, "So, to be able to kill an attendant from the Grand Heavenly Master Palace right under the noses of four Taiyi Xuanxians, what is the lowest level of cultivation this person must have reached?"
As soon as this question was asked, the energy of everyone present stagnated.
Indeed, if one wants to kill a person under the divine consciousness of four Taiyi Xuanxians without being discovered, then this person must at least reach the level of Xuanxian.
