When Jiang Feng and Nightingale directly arrived at the third courtyard, they discovered an incomparably strange thing. In the third courtyard, along with the rows and rows of buildings, there was not even a shadow of a person to be seen.
Even if the shop owner had closed his door and didn't live here, there would at least be some people left to guard the place. However, it was too quiet here, and the doors were tightly shut. No one could be seen.
"Is anyone there?" He stood on the roof of the house and shouted. The sound waves spread out and shook the third yard, but still no one answered.
"This place indeed does not look like it was inhabited. Most likely, after the incident with the God Petrification Demon, everyone left." "No," the man said.
"Not necessarily." Jiang Feng shook his head slightly. His gaze was fixated at a certain place, where there was a water well.
"It was blown down by the wind, there's nothing strange about it, right?" Ye Chen said unintentionally.
Jiang Feng did not say anything, he flew down from the rooftop, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the well and fell into a water bucket beside it. There was water flowing out, meaning that before he fell down, the bucket was filled with water.
In the past few days, there had been no strong winds in the Celestial City of Li Chuan, and if he wanted to blow down a bucket of water, how strong would that wind be?
At this time, she had also flown to the aperture next to the well and discovered this. Following that, she had guessed many things, and looked at Jiang Feng with bewildered and uncertain eyes: "What do you think?"
"Someone was fetching water. Something suddenly happened, causing the water bucket to fall. Moreover, it happened not long ago. Judging from how the water hadn't completely seeped out of the ground, it should have happened a day ago at the most."
Hearing Jiang Feng's analysis, Ye Ling'er revealed a look of bewilderment. If it happened a day ago, then it meant that there was someone living here.
However, what happened all of a sudden? When he was fetching water, he had already drained the bucket.
"The answer may be in the well." Jiang Feng suddenly said, and looked at the aperture.
Ye Ling's heart sank, he was shocked by Jiang Feng's eyes and what he had said.
Jiang Feng lowered his head to look at the well. A few meters deep, the surface of the water was calm, but it emitted a deathly aura.
Without saying a word, Jiang Feng activated the spirit force that he had already grasped and shot it into the well.
Crash! *
In the blink of an eye, endless streams of water shot up into the sky. Amidst the water splashes, there seemed to be something mixed in, and it landed on the ground with a bang.
Jiang Feng and Ye Kong looked carefully and saw that it was a skeleton.
"Hiss!"
She jumped in fright, her steps retreating a little. This sudden scene made her feel horrified.
Jiang Feng's gaze became serious too, the matter had become complicated, his gaze immediately turned towards the closed doors, as though he could guess what was going on.
Then, he waved his hands as tens of streams of immortal elemental energy gushed out like countless large hands, pushing open the tightly shut doors.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a series of explosions sounded out, Jiang Feng and the others turned to look at the rooms that were opened.
When they saw the scene inside, a cold shiver went down their spines.
Within the room, there were only skeletons. Everyone in the Green Stone Shop had been killed.
And these people died a day ago.
It seemed that someone had predicted that Jiang Feng would come to the Green Stone Store to investigate, so they killed him to keep it a secret.
"According to the time calculation, these people should have been killed last night, which is the second night of their fifty-five squads' inspection.
"We were all wrong." The sky suddenly opened its mouth, and its face was filled with frustration.
All of them thought that the first and second nights were safe and sound. No one died. In fact, there were still cultivators who were killed in the dark.
The Bluestone Store had been completely wiped out. At least a hundred people had died.
Ye Ling'er immediately took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent it out to inform the elders. Then, she and Jiang Feng prepared to search this place.
At this moment, the air suddenly fluctuated.
Cultivators were approaching!
Jiang Feng and Ye Ling were immediately on high alert, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Soon, a dozen figures appeared in his line of sight.
"It's Senior Brother Duan An!" "Stop!" he shouted excitedly as he lowered his guard.
Amongst all the core disciples, Duan An's strength was ranked number one and he was extremely caring towards others. Thus, the other core disciples treated him as their leader and respectfully called him Senior Brother Duan An.
Duan An brought the ten inner court disciples and quickly arrived at this place. One of them was a friend that Jiang Feng was familiar with, Lin Xin!
This person could be considered to be the cultivator that Jiang Feng was the most familiar with within the inner sect. Back then, in the grass man alley competition with Xiao Kuang, when he didn't have any immortal crystals, Lin Xin had lent him without hesitation.
Amongst the crowd, Lin Xin indicated to Jiang Feng with his hand, which Jiang Feng also greeted with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to be here already." Duan An rushed to speak with a slightly surprised tone.
"When we were going to the Orchid Pavilion Auction House, I heard from the person in charge that there are already two groups of people there. One of them is Senior Brother Duan An, right?" he asked.
"Yes." Duan An nodded. However, after we finished inquiring, it took us a while before we remembered to come here to take a look. After all, the second divine stone came from here.
Duan An nodded his head, after hearing what the other party said, he started to admire Jiang Feng even more.
At the Orchid Pavilion Auction House, after hearing the person in charge had finished speaking, Jiang Feng immediately suggested to come to the Cyan Stone Store, even faster than Senior Brother Duan An, who went to the Orchid Pavilion Auction House first to understand the situation.
"Things are getting serious." "No," the man said.
When Duan An heard this, he looked at the skeletons in the room and asked, "Did everyone get killed?"
"Yes, there are still many people who have yet to be accounted for, but there shouldn't be any survivors, including the owner of the Green Stone Shop." "No," said the nightshade.
"When did these people die?" Duan An asked.
"According to my deductions, it should have been last night. That is to say, the people in the shadows killed these people to prevent us from finding out anything?" Duan An was extremely intelligent and immediately guessed this point.
"That should be the case." Nodding.
"There are only two things in this situation. The Green Stone Shop has some clues, and they are very important clues. The other party was afraid that we would find them, so they tried to silence us by killing us." Secondly, the other party knew that we would be coming to the Green Stone Shop, so he took action last night. Duan An analyzed the situation. He had a good understanding of the overall situation and instantly understood the situation clearly.
Everyone's face revealed a trace of seriousness. Since they had discovered that the cultivators of the Green Stone Store had been killed, this meant that their patrolling did not intimidate the other party.
