Chapter 61: Sudden Death
As soon as Huang Chong finished speaking, his face changed drastically!
He had just connected to the Master's Mark in the Voice Transmission Jade Slip and transmitted the message.
But he found that the Voice Transmission Jade Slip did not transmit the message successfully. You should know that using the Voice Transmission Jade Slip to transmit messages requires spiritual power, although it is very little, but it is unavoidable.
But this time he felt that his spiritual power was not consumed at all, and what was even more terrible was that the Master's Mark in the Jade Slip actually began to dissipate. In a moment, the Master's Mark disappeared without a trace!
He was not very clear about what this meant, and it was the first time he encountered such a situation.
But there was one thing he was very clear about, the mark in the Voice Transmission Jade Slip was directly connected to the owner of the mark.
This was also the key to the Voice Transmission Jade Slip being able to transmit sound to people, and as long as the owner of the mark was still there, the mark would always exist.
And now that the mark disappeared, then his master... . . !
Huang Chong was shocked and rushed to the Zhenling Hall without saying a word.
Seeing Huang Chong's reaction, the others were also very curious about what happened and followed him.
Duan Qing saw this and had to stand up and call the fool to follow the crowd.
Soon a group of people followed Huang Chong to the Zhenling Hall and went straight to the back hall.
Duan Qing followed at the end. As soon as he entered the front hall, he heard a noisy sound coming from the back hall.
Then he heard Huang Chong screaming.
"Master!!"
Duan Qing followed the crowd into the back hall and saw that the door of one of the rooms in the back hall was wide open. Several people who ran fast were surrounding the door of the room, their faces full of horror.
Duan Qing also came forward to take a look, and saw a black corpse lying in the room. Judging from the clothes on his body and the vaguely visible facial outline, it was Elder Li without a doubt.
At this time, Huang Chong was slumped in front of Elder Li's corpse, his face full of shock, his mouth wide open and unable to speak.
Duan Qing was also shocked when he saw this. Elder Li died just like that? And the death was so terrible, who did it!
This Elder Li is a powerful person in the realm of mind! He is now absolutely looking up to him.
Such a powerful person, an elder of a sect, died here in such an unclear way!
While Duan Qing was shocked, Su Yutong stepped forward and shouted to everyone in an imperative tone. "I have reported this matter to Master, and she and the head of the sect will be here soon.
Before that, no one can move without authorization."
Su Yutong glanced at everyone with a cold eye, showing her momentum as the eldest sister of Jingshui Peak.
She was actually very surprised. She felt something strange when she came to Zhenling Temple before, but she didn't meddle in it because she felt that Elder Li was there.
But she didn't expect that Elder Li himself was involved in it, and he had died!
After discovering that Elder Li was dead, she immediately reported the matter to his master, the head of Jingshui Peak, True Man Qingchen.
The answer she got was to keep an eye on everyone present and wait for the head of the sect to come before making a decision.
Looking at the people present, somehow, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was going on!
After about half an hour, everyone stayed in the back hall and no one dared to leave without permission. There were endless discussions in groups of three or two, and there was no lack of shock and confusion about the sudden death of Elder Li.
Duan Qing did not participate in anyone's discussion, but took the fool aside, meditating alone with his eyes closed, thinking that he was unlucky!
Originally, only Qian Datong died. In the absence of any evidence pointing to him, he was not worried that the sect would overreact.
But now another elder in the Questioning Heart Realm died, which is a big deal. How many Questioning Heart Realm elders are there in the sect?
As far as he knows, the five chairmen and seven elders in the Jinxuan Sect have only twelve Questioning Heart Realm strongmen in total.
Now, during the rotation of the spirit mine, one person died inexplicably. It is obvious that the sect must investigate this matter thoroughly.
And the first thing to investigate must be these disciples on duty.
In this way, if he steals the sect's raw stones to make spirit liquid, it may be discovered, and his fate can be imagined!
Just as Duan Qing was thinking about how to escape unscathed, he heard two sounds of breaking through the air from outside the hall.
Duan Qing looked back and saw that the head of the sect, Bai Hua Zhenren, had already walked into the back hall, followed by the head of Jingshui Peak, Qing Chen Zhenren.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted, making way for the two.
"Hello, head of the sect, hello, Uncle Qing Chen!"
Duan Qing also hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists with everyone to salute the head of the sect, Bai Hua Zhenren and Qing Chen Zhenren.
The two of them looked unhappy, especially the head of the sect, Bai Hua Zhenren, whose face was as cold as ice. He glanced at everyone, stayed on the fool for a moment, and then walked straight into the room where Elder Li's body was.
Qing Chen Zhenren followed behind him and walked into the room. When he reached the door, he gently nodded to Su Yutong who was standing by the door, and then walked in.
At this time, only Elder Li's body was lying alone on the ground in the room.
Just now, at Su Yutong's request, no one could touch Elder Li's body before the head of the sect came, so everyone retreated to the corridor outside.
As soon as the head of the sect, Master Baihua, entered the room, he saw Elder Li's body, which was completely black, and there were terrifying lines on his skin, and his face became even uglier.
He raised his hand to touch Elder Li's body, and a ball of black air was sucked out of Elder Li's body and lingered in his palm.
"Tea poison!"
Master Baihua whispered two words.
Then he turned his head to look at Master Qingchen beside him and asked. "What do you think, Junior Sister Qingchen?"
Master Qingchen carefully observed the black energy in Master Bai Hua's palm, and nodded lightly. "It is indeed Situ Xiangnan's unique treasure, and the black cone in the heart of the tea is undoubtedly poisonous!"
Master Bai Hua snorted coldly.
"Hmph, Situ Xiangnan!"
Then a fire lotus suddenly appeared in his palm, burning all the black energy in an instant. Then he turned to look at the people outside the room and said coldly.
"Where are Elder Li's disciples?"
Hearing this, Huang Chong walked into the room in a few short steps, then fell to his knees with a plop, crying to the leader Bai Hua with tears in his eyes.
"Elder Li's disciple, Huang Chong, pays homage to the master and asks the master to make the decision for my master!"
As he spoke, he wiped the tears from his face.
Master Bai Hua was unmoved and asked Huang Chong. "When was the last time you saw your master?"
Huang Chong answered without thinking. "More than half a year ago, when the disciple came to hand over the original stone, the master sent a message to summon the disciple to the back hall to give guidance on his cultivation."
Master Bai Hua nodded. According to his observation, although Elder Li asked the state of mind's corpse, it was not corrupted, but it should have been dead for about half a year.
At this time, Master Bai Hua looked at the people outside the room and continued to ask. "Has anyone else seen Elder Li during the shift?"
Everyone was silent after hearing this, and no one dared to answer hastily. After a moment of silence, Su Yutong was the first to speak.
"This disciple has never seen it before!"
Someone took the lead, and others immediately responded.
"This disciple has never met Elder Li."
"My disciple has been practicing hard since he was in the spiritual mine. He has not seen Elder Li."
"I only met Elder Li once on the first day of my shift!"
"..."
There are different opinions, and everyone's answers are similar. Except for the first day of the rotation, no one has seen Elder Li, except of course Huang Chong.
The leader, Master Bai Hua, frowned upon hearing this, glanced at the crowd, and suddenly pointed at Duan Qing, who was standing at the back, and asked.
"Why are you here?"
