Chapter 2254: No One Leaves

ong" Xia Tinghe asked with a puzzled look in her beautiful eyes.Xia He looked up, gazing at her granddaughter before him. A sudden smile lit up his face. “Listen, Ha, your grandpa has a task for you…”...There was no breath of life, the entire backyard filled with a stench of blood and burnt flesh.

Yun Ning and his deputy... met such a tragic end within the Spirit Crystal Pavilion!

Fang Yu's eyes were icy cold, his gaze swiftly scanning the entire backyard.

The backyard is now surrounded by numerous guards from the Lingjing Pavilion, driving out all the cultivators.

As soon as Fang Yu arrived in the backyard, the other guards quickly surrounded him.

"Leave the Spirit Crystal Pavilion immediately!" the guard barked.

But at that moment, Fang Yu turned his head and looked at the guard.

The moment their eyes met, the guard felt his heart lurch, a jolt of ice coursing through his veins.

That gaze… as if it pierced through his heart in an instant, making him unable to take another step forward.

"I came with them," Fang Yu said in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, the guard came to his senses and gasped for breath.

The rest of the guards continued to advance, wanting to reach Fang Yu's torso.

But at that moment, the lead guard raised his hand, signaling them to stop advancing.

"Since they are colleagues, let him stay here and cooperate with the investigation," the guard swallowed nervously and said.

Upon hearing this, the other guards stepped back.

And at this moment, the entire Spirit Crystal Pavilion was cleared.

A large number of cultivators gathered inside the Lingjing Pavilion.

As the incident happened suddenly, most cultivators were unaware of what had transpired.

And the commotion at the entrance of Lingjing Pavilion also attracted other cultivators from outside.

Therefore, today the entrance to Lingjing Pavilion is packed with over a thousand cultivators.

"What's going on What happened Why are you all crowded here"

"Someone was killed in the Lingjing Pavilion! It is said that two corpses were found in the backyard on the first floor, but they were only remains, almost destroyed..."

"What! A corpse was found inside the Lingjing Pavilion Does that mean someone attacked inside the Lingjing Pavilion They're so bold!"

Various opinions were expressed by these monks.

And in front of the Lingjing Pavilion's gate, over a hundred guards had already been arranged, completely blocking the outside world.

The first floor of the Lingjing Pavilion.

A group of monks came down from the upper floors.

At the head was an old man cloaked in black.

He had a stern face and extremely sharp eyes. Every move he made seemed to subtly release an aura of dominance from someone in a position of power.

Behind him, more than twenty men in white robes followed.

The elder, with a group of his men, hurried to the back garden.

Upon seeing the two corpses on the ground in the backyard, his brows furrowed, and his face turned as cold as ice.

"When was it discovered" the elder turned to ask the captain of the first-floor guards.

"Reporting to the elder, these two bodies were discovered two hours ago," the captain of the guards stated.

"Each level should have surveillance," the elder, known as the Steward, said solemnly.

"They were destroyed," the guard captain replied. "The surveillance talismans from the back garden to the main hall, all of them were destroyed."

"Destruction Why didn't you find it" the steward asked, his brow furrowing even deeper.

"The other party didn't destroy it with conventional means, but rather found some way to disable the surveillance magic stone." The guard captain replied.

The steward looked at the two corpses in the backyard, pondered for a moment, then turned to the guard captain and asked, "No findings"

According to the three-tiered clerks, the two deceased had just exchanged over 10,000 spirit crystals, and it is highly likely that they were targeted for this reason. Afterwards…," said the guard captain.

"Any leads on the killer" The steward interrupted the captain of the guard, asking.

"No." the guard captain replied.

Upon hearing this response, the attendant turned his gaze once more to the two lifeless forms ahead and then waved his hand. "Clean up the bodies and have the Spirit Crystal Pavilion back in operation as soon as possible," he ordered.

"Master, how do we explain this to the outside world..." the guard captain asked.

"It was just an accident. No explanation needed." the steward said coldly.

After that, he was about to turn and leave.

"So, that's how you do things"

At that moment, a sudden and jarring voice came from beside him.

This sentence caused the attendant to stop in his tracks, and all eyes on that floor were drawn to a single figure.

The speaker was Fang Yu.

The attendant turned, facing Fang Yu. His cold eyes glittered with a sinister light.

However, at this moment, Fang Yu's eyes were even colder.

"My lord... he says he is a companion of the two deceased." The guard captain immediately stepped forward to explain.

"You... have an opinion" The deacon stared straight at Fang Yu and asked.

This sentence is full of threatening implications.

His formidable presence easily instilled fear, making it difficult for anyone to speak another word.

“Shouldn’t I be allowed to have an opinion They came in to exchange for spirit crystals, and ended up dying inside the Spirit Crystal Pavilion. All the large sums of Xuan coins and spirit crystals they had just exchanged disappeared without a trace. This is clearly…” Fang Yu said.

"None of this matters," the steward interrupted Fang Yu, his face impassive. "They are dead, the murderer left no clues, that is the outcome."

Fang Yu's eyes were cold as he said, "No clues at all Is that the result Then who is responsible for their deaths inside the Lingjing Pavilion"

"Take responsibility for yourself." The deacon said coldly, "He died for over ten thousand spirit crystals. It only shows that he was too weak. Our Spirit Crystal Pavilion has never guaranteed absolute safety inside, nor do we provide any security guarantees to any cultivator."

"So you didn't even bother to investigate" Fang Yu asked again.

"I said there were no clues, and this is the result," the steward said in a cold voice. "This is the Realm of Emptiness; it's normal for people to die here. We won't waste time on this."

And at this moment, many guards present, as well as the men behind the steward, all wore expressions of displeasure.

In their eyes, no one could question the deacons of Lingjing Pavilion like this.

After all, the steward is second only to the master!

"You may take your companion's remains. As for finding the killer, you will have to do that yourself." The steward said, then turned and left without another word.

Those men behind him also cast warning glances at Fang Yu before turning and leaving.

"Boom!"

Just at this moment, a terrifying aura erupted from behind.

In an instant, it enveloped the entire Lingjing Pavilion and all the cultivators watching from outside!

Everyone present, including the many cultivators crowded outside the Lingjing Pavilion, could feel a palpable pressure and an overwhelming aura!

Upon sensing this surge of aura, the expressions of both the cultivators within and outside Lingjing Pavilion were filled with astonishment.

Who dares to make a move inside the Spirit Crystal Pavilion! Who would dare to act within the Spirit Crystal Pavilion!

On the first floor of Lingjing Pavilion, the deacon who had just turned around stopped again and turned to face Fang Yu.

"I didn't say you could leave." Fang Yu said expressionlessly, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "You asked me to find the murderer myself, so... I'm starting now."

"And everyone present, including your Lingjing Pavilion... in my opinion, all of you are suspect."

"Don't even think about leaving until the suspicion is cleared."s and said, "Mr. Su, you're attending the banquet as well""The boss told me to come," Su Changge chuckled and said."Time has passed, let's go in," Zheng Ze said."Good," Su Changge replied.The three of...
