Chapter 49: It’s All Because of the Secret Signal
Ten Thousand Swords City, Law Enforcement Hall Branch.
Jiang Jingyuan, who was the deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, was trembling with anger at this moment.
During the Outer Sect Competition today, many people wanted to see the favorites to win the championship.
Although the entry plate numbers were issued randomly, there were uncle’s parties everywhere, and this kind of information had long been secretly revealed.
But one day down, those favorites to win the championship surprisingly all did not go on the field, they were all regarded as automatically abstaining from the competition.
One or two forfeits is nothing, everyone thought that they were injured in an accident, this kind of thing is very common.
But a day down more than twenty favorites, a person did not play, as long as it is a person can detect something wrong.
The people who have the heart to inquire, is even more alarmed.
One hundred and thirty-four favorites, all seriously injured? They are all in the process of recuperating.
Someone’s messing with us. This is going to turn the world upside down!
This news quickly swept through the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and there was no shortage of melon eaters anywhere, all waiting for the next news, wasn’t this much more interesting and exciting than the Outer Sect Competition?
The Law Enforcement Hall got the news almost immediately.
After Jiang Jingyuan was informed of the situation, his face stayed dark, and he didn’t bother to maintain his surface emotions as he stormed out, “Investigate, give me a thorough investigation! Exactly which sect or faction dares to be so bold!!!”
Could it be the other four sects?
Although the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the other three sects had been in a period of harmony because of the might of the Divine Sound Sect, there were still often nasty disputes in the shadows, belonging to a state of both union and confrontation.
Of course, the high probability was the Divine Sound Sect.
After all, the Divine Sound Sect is usually disgusted enough by their four sects, and it is naturally happy to be disgusted back.
However, Jiang Jingyuan thought for a second and felt that it wasn’t the Divine Sound Sect.
If the Divine Sound Sect had made a move, these favorites to win the title wouldn’t have been seriously injured, but would have died outright.
Of course it was also possible that they would not be killed, and the main fight would be an elusive one.
The efficiency of the Law Enforcement Hall was very godly when it came to major matters, especially when it was still the critical period of the Outer Sect Grand Competition.
“My lord, Archdeacon Bai is here.”
Bai Shizhong had come?
Jiang Jingyuan directly stood up and hurriedly went out to greet him.
Although he was at the Dragon Transformation Realm and Bai Shizhong was at Foundation Establishment Perfection, the other party was his superior.
He was a branch hall deacon, and Bai Shizhong was a head hall deacon.
And in order to distinguish between the deacons of the main hall and the branch hall, all the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect called the deacon of the main hall the archdeacon.
“Archdeacon Bai, you’ve come.”
Jiang Jingyuan was all smiles, with this kind of thing happening, even with his heart nature, he couldn’t help but be a little flustered.
At this moment, Jiang Jingyuan didn’t even have the stance of the Dragon Transformation Realm in front of Bai Shizhong, who was at the Foundation Establishment Perfection.
After all, this is the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, a sect that has a rigorous system in place, out of the sect naturally the strongest person leads and gives orders, but the height of the position in the sect is the truth.
After all, you are strong again, strong over the people who draw up the rules? Not to mention that Bai Shizhong’s master is also the current peak master of Jianxin Peak, Lu Mingjian.
Bai Shizhong was actually not very popular in the Law Enforcement Hall, after all, the other party could be called the Iron Yama, and his character was evident.
However, whenever the various deacons encountered difficulties in handling cases, as long as Bai Shizhong appeared, it was like a ray of light in the darkness, giving people peace of mind.
“Deacon Jiang don’t worry, Hall Master Gong Yang has something to go out, so this case will naturally be fine as long as it’s done well and quickly.”
As soon as Bai Shizhong arrived, he saw through the panic in Jiang Jingyuan’s heart at a glance, and he directly pacified.
It had to be said that although Bai Shizhong was youthful in appearance, but in the Law Enforcement Hall he was a symbol of justice and strictness, so as soon as he spoke, Jiang Jingyuan was reassured.
Especially when he heard that the hall master was not present, he was even more relieved.
Branch halls did not have branch hall masters, and the various deacons of the Ten Thousand Swords City Law Enforcement Hall took turns in taking power, and this year it was his turn, and he did not expect this situation to occur during his tenure.
He was really afraid that the ram hall master would be furious and directly jerk him to the end.
The two walked and talked at the same time.
“Deacon Jiang, who do you think did this?”
“Divine Sound Sect? To be able to silently cause one hundred and thirty-four outer disciples to be seriously injured without us noticing, I think it’s only the Divine Sound Sect.”
Although Jiang Jingyuan felt in his heart that it wasn’t the Divine Sound Sect before, to be honest, he still felt in his heart that the Divine Sound Sect was the most suspicious.
“The odds are that it’s not the Divine Sound Sect.” Bai Shizhong laughed, “The five Hengshan Mountain sects all have a tacit understanding that they won’t make a move to cause trouble, regardless of whether it’s the inner sect grand competition or the outer sect grand competition.” Regardless of whether it was the outer sect or the inner sect, it was all related to the foundation of a sect.
The outer gate was the foundation, and the inner gate was the mainstay.
If someone came out to wreak havoc every time there was a grand competition, then the Hengshan Domain would have long since been annexed by sects from other regions.
“Then?”
“Let’s do it this way, first follow your idea to thoroughly investigate once, if there are no clues after a few days, then invite the disciples who have not yet been eliminated from the Outer Sect Grand Competition who have not yet been eliminated from the ninth level of Qi Gathering over to question them once.”
As soon as Bai Shizhong said that, Jiang Jingyuan knew what he meant, and he said thoughtfully:
“If it’s really true that one of the Qi Gathering Ninth Levels has made such a heartless move to take the position of True Successor, then he can only go to the Assassin Organization.”
“It just so happens that I don’t have much of a clue right now, so I’ll meet these shadowy bugbears tonight.”
“Good.”
Of course, Bai Shizhong didn’t expect to find out who was behind this in a short period of time, and he was prepared to sit in the Ten Thousand Swords City Law Enforcement Hall for a long period of time.
After all, maybe it was the Divine Sound Sect that had gone crazy and done it? And it would be harder to find traces of the Divine Sound Sect.
In the evening, the ten sub-pavilion masters, sub-floor masters, and sub-donor masters of the Moon Shadow Pavilion, Scarlet Building, and Only Me Hall were all invited to the Ten Thousand Swords City Law Enforcement Hall parlor.
When these thirty people in front of him were seated, Jiang Jingyuan did not talk nonsense with these bugbears as he coldly said:
“Gentlemen, inviting you all over, I’m sure you already have a guess in your hearts.”
“Our Ten Thousand Swords Sect can tolerate your existence because we know that there is no fish when the water is clear, but if you guys do things out of proportion, we don’t mind uprooting you.”
Some of the people here still didn’t understand what was happening, after all, the Outer Sect Grand Competition was held every year, and the first-timers would still be watching a fresh and lively event.
But after staying for a long time, watching some juniors at the Qi Gathering Realm compete was really boring.
That’s why some people don’t pay attention to the matter of the Outer Sect Grand Competition at all.
And some people were concerned because they were good gamblers and naturally knew about the one hundred and thirty-four favorites to win the championship who were all seriously injured.
As a result, the Law Enforcement Hall even thought that they did it?
“Deacon Jiang, do you think we have the guts to do such a thing?”
“I don’t think so, your Scarlet House is usually very bold and good at gambling, maybe one of your masters is ready to do a big job after losing everything and running out of spirit stones.”
“Jian XIII you don’t want to spit blood.”
“Hehe, if it’s not you, then what’s your hurry?”
Sword 13 was naturally also invited, he looked calm and looked like he wasn’t panicking at all.
Everyone else was also in a normal mood, after all, the Law Enforcement Hall had asked them all to come over, it was obvious that they had yet to find the black hand behind the scenes.
Jiang Jingyuan watched everyone present with cold eyes, listening to the bickering of these people, just as he was about to open his mouth, a knock came from the door.
“Enter.”
“Deacon Jiang.”
Standing at the doorway was a Law Enforcement Hall disciple, who did not enter and swept around the people present, pausing at Jian XIII’s body before calling out to Jiang Jingyuan.
Jiang Jingyuan came out and casually closed the door, signaling this Law Enforcement Hall disciple to speak.
“Deacon Jiang, it has been clearly checked, due to the question of the Moon Shadow Pavilion’s secret code ……”
Before the words were finished, there was a commotion inside the door.
Jiang Jingyuan’s face changed and he hurriedly pushed open the door, as soon as he came in, he saw Jian XIII shattering the wall with a punch and swept out in a hurry.
Before Jiang Jingyuan could speak, the Law Enforcement Hall disciple next to him exclaimed, “My lord, the black hand behind the scene is Jian 13…”
Jiang Jingyuan’s gaze condensed at his words, looking at Jian XIII’s back, he laughed under great joy, “Run? Can you run away?!”
And at this time, when the other Moon Shadow Pavilion’s sub-pavilion masters heard this, while stunned, they could not help but break into cursing Jian XIII.
They were not slow on their feet and directly ran along the hole that Jian XIII blasted out, casting a recluse method to run away.
The remaining people from Scarlet House and Only Me Hall looked at each other in dismay, and some of them almost followed along when they saw the people from Moon Shadow Pavilion running away.
Seeing that Deacon Jiang chased out, this Law Enforcement Hall disciple saw that the Moon Shadow Pavilion’s people had run away, and the rest of the people were also foolish, and coldly threatened, “Whoever dares to go out of this house, is considered a Moon Shadow Pavilion accomplice.”
After saying that, he didn’t leave and directly stood in the doorway, just staring at the people present.
