This could not be blamed on him... Something suddenly happened in Black Thunder City, and 100,000 corpses were piled up in 10,000 Burial Pit. Coupled with the uneasiness in his heart, Nie Yang suddenly targeted...
He didn't directly attack, and it was already because he had a good temper!
As for Nie Yang... he only felt an icy coldness around his neck. From time to time, there was even a faint prickling pain.
To be honest, to a Golden Core warrior like them, a neck was never a vital point. Even if they were beheaded, as long as their meridians weren't damaged, they would still only be lightly injured.
As long as their heads were not destroyed, reconnecting them with magic power would be a piece of cake.
However, when faced with the silent threat of the cold light... He could smell a thick sense of death.
It was true that he would die!
There was great terror between life and death... If he was killed cleanly, perhaps not many people would fear him. However, at this moment, it was as if he was waiting for death to arrive. Not many people could withstand it!
... ""
After a long period of silence, Nie Yang slowly closed his eyes, "The sect has sent news. After investigation, those one hundred thousand people... They are all people from the towns and towns near Black Thunder City... They are divided into many villages and towns, and although the average number of people is not much, however, when gathered together, there are a total of one hundred thousand people. Once it is completely spread, it will definitely be shocking."
Jiang Ting's expression remained unchanged. "So?"
" So... So..." Nie Yang stammered, unable to speak for a long time.
Jiang Ting chuckled. "Therefore, the Profound Thunder Sect needs to find a suitable scapegoat as soon as possible and suppress this matter. As an outsider, I have no reputation at all, so I am the most suitable scapegoat, right?"
Nie Yang's expression changed instantly. "How... How did you know?"
Jiang Ting's eyes suddenly turned cold. "It seems that the 100,000 corpses are related to the Profound Thunder Sect."
Nie Yang was instantly enraged. "Fellow Daoist, I indeed made a mistake... However, my Profound Thunder Sect is not something you can slander! "
Perhaps it was due to his sect's sense of honor that he was clearly no match for Jiang Ting. However, at this moment, Nie Yang was truly enraged, and he glared at him furiously.
Jiang Ting said with a smile, "If it has nothing to do with your Profound Thunder Sect... If something happens, why is the first reaction not to investigate the true culprit, but to find a scapegoat?"
When Nie Yang heard this, he was first stunned, then his expression suddenly sank... He opened his mouth, and was somewhat speechless.
Indeed, this couldn't be explained at all... Other than knowing the truth, if not, why would his first reaction be to find a scapegoat, and not to investigate the true culprit?
However...
Merely half a breath of time passed, and Nie Yang raised his head to refute. "This Blackthunder City was established by my Blackthunder Sect, and it's a nearby town. If it was really my Profound Thunder Sect, why didn't you go to other sects? Why did you have to cause trouble within my Profound Thunder Sect's territory? "
Without waiting for an answer, Nie Yang sneered again." Moreover, even if my Profound Thunder Sect wanted to make a move, it wouldn't be to the extent that we would choose people close to Profound Thunder City... This city is merely 10,000 kilometers away from my Profound Thunder Sect's headquarters. If news of this spreads out, wouldn't it make the other sects laugh their heads off!? "
It sounded... reasonable.
Jiang Ting did not get angry and slowly said," This is also what I can't figure out at this time... Perhaps this wasn't done by your Profound Thunder Sect, but your sect must have some other information. "
"Nonsense! It's all just your guesses!" Nie Yang might have gotten angry, but he suddenly had the courage to shout at Jiang Ting.
"Maybe." Jiang Ting also retorted.
He smiled, and then spoke again. "Since the Profound Thunder City was built by the Profound Thunder Sect, then there should be some other secret channels... Why don't we talk about whether there's any other information regarding the true culprit of the Myriad Burial Pit?"
"No!" Nie Yang snorted coldly.
Jiang Ting squinted his eyes and said, "My friend, are you sure you don't have one?"
Nie Yang was just about to reply when his body suddenly stiffened. He saw that his neck had lost its luster, and the cold light that he had ignored due to his anger began to spurt out again, causing his neck to hurt!
Nie Yang couldn't help but be honest. "It's... It's two Golden Core cultivators with unknown cultivation bases."
"What else?" Jiang Ting's interest was immediately piqued.
Since they were at the Golden Core realm, and the Black Lightning Sect seemed to know something... perhaps, the source of his uneasiness was the two Golden Core cultivators?
Nie Yang continued to speak honestly, "One of them is a devil cultivator, and the other one isn't. As for the details, I'm not sure for the time being."
Jiang Ting couldn't deny it. "What else?"
"No... There's no other news." Nie Yang smiled reluctantly.
It didn't seem like he was faking it.
Jiang Ting nodded slightly. "Then you can leave."
"Ah?" Nie Yang was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Ting's eyes lit up. "What? The deputy city lord wants to stay as a guest? Or is the Deputy City Lord planning to stay here forever? If the Deputy City Lord doesn't want to leave, I can send you on your way."
"No... no need to worry about it. I'll take my leave." Nie Yang did not even think about it as he hurriedly puffed his chest out and left with his head held high. At this moment, although his face was aged, his footsteps were vigorous and vigorous.
His back was no longer hunched.
He seemed to be two different people compared to the person who had just arrived and was about to be buried at any time.
After Nie Yang left, Jiang Ting waved his hand and closed the room.
Then he got up and walked to the window. He opened the window and looked at the street quietly.
"Did you hear? Over a hundred thousand people died in Taoshan..."
"I've heard about it a long time ago... I also heard that there were demonic cultivators roaming around. However, those demonic cultivators are rather strange. It is said that the ones who died were only mortals."
"I have a friend who went to the Peach Mountain to take a look. He said that those corpses died in the Ten Thousand Burial Pit. I heard that before they died, all of their blood and flesh were sucked dry. I wonder which demonic cultivator would be so audacious."
"One? Didn't I hear that there were four or five devil cultivators?"
Occasionally, there would be conversations. Under Jiang Ting's intentional listening, all of them entered his ears.
Before long, when he saw Nie Yang leaving the inn, he quickly left the street where the Immortal World was located as if he was fleeing for his life.
Jiang Ting didn't mind, and continued listening to the conversations on the street. Unfortunately... What they knew was... The discussions were all rumors that had been passed down. They had completely lost all sense of reality.
It wasn't even as detailed as the information he had received from the servant and Nie Yang.
After listening for a while, Jiang Ting shook his head slightly and gave up. He directly closed the window... Instantly, the noisy voices disappeared, and the room became quiet once again.
He walked back to the edge of the bed and sat down. He silently thought about it.
Devil cultivator...
If Nie Yang hadn't said anything about devil cultivators, Jiang Ting would probably have thought that the blood mantis and Qing Zhao had used some sort of method to recover from their injuries and somehow found his whereabouts. They had intentionally approached Black Thunder City to plot against him.
However, one of the two was a devil cultivator.
Devil cultivators... There shouldn't be too many devil cultivators who wanted to kill Jiang Ting!
Any Golden Core Fiendish Cultivator would probably want to take his head and return to Demon Ridge to claim credit.
