Chapter 49

With Yi Qiubai guiding the way on the messenger jade, Shu Jue quickly found the punishment hall.

But what surprised her was that all the cells in the punishment hall were opened, and there was no one inside, and there were no bodies.

It would be okay if there was no one inside in the first place. All the traces in those cells proved that there were people inside before.

"You take a look at this first." Yi Qiubai saw Shujue coming over and handed her a pamphlet.

The book records the information of everyone in the cell, the name of the person who came in, why he was imprisoned and punished, and how he behaved in the cell every day... everything is recorded clearly in the book.

"I found this in the law enforcement elder's storage bag." Once the owner dies, the storage bag becomes ownerless, and the contract mark can be erased easily.

Although doing this is somewhat disrespectful to the deceased, this is obviously not the time to think too much.

"This record...was broken five days ago? Could it be that these people were killed just five days ago?" Shujue found it unbelievable. The corpses outside looked like they had been dead for more than just five days. At a rough look, they looked like they had been killed for at least ten people. Oh my god.

She flipped through page after page, and finally her eyes stopped on a name - "Li Yuanji, who practices forbidden arts and is imprisoned in Cell No. [-]..."

Because he was the first person in the sect who was discovered to be practicing forbidden arts, the elders of the sect did not execute him directly. They probably decided to discuss it before making a decision. Shujue guessed that the elders wanted to know what he was practicing. Where does the skill come from.

On the third day after this man was imprisoned in the cell, the record came to an abrupt end——

The other disciples were punished with major punishments and small punishments, and the mistakes they committed did not lead to death. Only Li Yuanji, practicing forbidden arts was tantamount to associating with the demons, and it was recognized as a capital crime in the world of immortality.

"It seems that he is the culprit of this family's destruction." Shujue thought thoughtfully, took out the things found in the library pavilion and handed them to Yi Qiubai, and told him about the secret pavilion.

The other people had almost finished their search, sent messages to each other, and met at the gate.

In addition to Shu Jue and Yi Qiubai who discovered something, others also discovered something.

"I found this in the sect master's main hall." The disciple who spoke took out the blood-stained image stone.

"I found this in the alchemy hall." The disciple who spoke took out a pile of medicine residue.

"..."

Shu Jue and Yi Qiubai looked at each other and each took out the things they found. They didn't hide anything about the dark pavilion either.

The disciples were all here. The elder of the Yunhe Sect opened the image stone directly, and the scene recorded inside appeared in front of everyone.

What they didn't expect was that what appeared at the beginning was the scene of the sect leader being killed!

Red blood splashed out, and for a moment, the entire scene was covered in red.

The leader of the sect didn't even have time to resist, a hand penetrated his chest, and a bright red object appeared in the man's hand, and then - the murderer grabbed the thing and put it into his mouth...

"Ugh!" A female disciple of the Yunhe Sect could no longer hold on and vomited while holding on to a relatively clean tree.

There was a commotion among the disciples, and everyone was frightened.

No one told them before coming that they would see this kind of scene...

Shu Jue wasn't much better.

She thought the picture would be very exciting, but she didn't expect it to be this level of excitement...

For the first time in two lives, I saw demons eating human hearts. When I thought about fighting those demons in the future, they grabbed people's hearts...

Shu Jue: Sure enough, in the future, you have to chop off your hands to kill demons.

The scene did not end with the collapse of the sect leader. The sect leader without the heart did not die immediately.

After he fell, he subconsciously crawled towards the shadow stone. His body twitched, his eyes were wide open, and blood was oozing from his mouth and nose.

He opened his mouth, and everyone heard what he said clearly - the demons were causing harm.For a time, the commotion among the disciples became even worse, and even the elders of the Yunhe Sect were dumbfounded.

It wasn't until the murderer in the recording stone finished eating and the sect leader tilted his head that there was no movement, and the picture on the recording stone stopped.

On the other side, a disciple of the Alchemy Sect also discovered something was wrong with the medicine residue - it was clearly some forbidden medicine, and no serious person would refine that kind of medicine - "So, these were all done by the demons?" he discovered. Something was wrong with the Dan Sect disciples, and their mentality collapsed.

He looked around, his whole body visibly trembling, and he even leaned closer to Shu Jue and the others.

Shu Jue looked at him like this and wanted to tell him: Don't tremble. There are probably a lot of demons in your Dan Sect. If you're lucky, Zhu Yan might even become your fellow disciple.

But after thinking about it, she still pretended to know it, and followed everyone with surprised expressions.

"This matter..." The elders of the Yunhe Sect thought for a while and realized that this matter was no longer something they could solve. They could only inform the sect leader and let the other sect leaders decide.

But before that, "Don't say anything after you go back." The elder looked at the disciples from different sects in front of him and spoke cautiously.

As an elder of a large sect, his first thought was to hide the matter first.

Shujue and Yi Qiubai naturally nodded. With them taking the lead, the Dan Sect disciples also nodded.

The other disciples of the sect looked at me and I looked at you. Their expressions were extremely sad, and in the end they agreed to become mute after returning to the sect.

"Elder, what should we do with these corpses?"

As soon as Yu Mingli opened her mouth, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Yes, some of these disciples are the children of casual cultivators, and some are selected from the mortal world. Their parents are still alive, so naturally the corpses cannot be disposed of hastily.

At this time, the paper list compiled by Shu Jue played some role.

Anyway, the names of the disciples and parents are also there, so we can only ask their parents to come and claim them.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Shu Jue felt a little complicated.

Most people who seek immortality seek immortality. Which of these people enter the sect without bringing their parents' hopes and aspirations?

But they didn't expect that the path to immortality they were pursuing would turn out to be a lifeline.

Shu Jue couldn't imagine what her master would do if something happened to her.

She sighed softly.

The Yunhe Sect elder said that he wanted to hide the demon clan's matter, but it was obvious that the fire could not be contained in paper, and it was impossible to hide this matter.

If it was just a small sect, it would be fine. More than 400 lives were turned into cold corpses overnight. Even the four major sects said a lot of good things and gave both kindness and power. In the end, the forum on Chuanyu exploded.

In less than a day, everyone knew that the demons had escaped from the barrier.

The four major sects guarding Phoenix Marsh overnight went from being the major sects in the world of immortality to becoming the target of public criticism.

There is no better way to fall from the altar than to hell.

In the past, the disciples of the four major sects were the envy of everyone. As soon as the demon clan was exposed, everyone began to attack the four major sects.

"Aren't you claiming to be powerful? Why can't you even look down on the demons?"

"I have long been disgusted with you, the four major sects, who are so proud of themselves. Thanks to so many people, you are regarded as a protector. Now it seems that you are nothing more than that."

"What four major sects? I think they are four piles of rubbish! Bah!"
