God Destroying Pearl

Chapter 276: Death of Kongtai

Song Yun nodded.

Ke Sanxiao looked at the three silver medals with the word "Kill" on them with a serious expression. His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.

"Fellow Daoist Ke, are you worried that the Hidden Killing Palace will come to assassinate you again?" Song Yun noticed Ke Sanxiao's expression and asked softly.

"No, actually, what I care about most is who wants to kill us! The two of us were assassinated almost at the same time today, and it was people from the Hidden Killing Hall who were hired. The price offered by the other party must be very high, and ordinary people can't afford it!" Ke Sanxiao shook his head, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Does Brother Ke have any suspects?" Song Yun nodded, he was also a little confused.

"Yes, but I can't figure out why they would do this!" Ke Sanxiao pondered for a while and then said.

"Who?" Song Yun asked.

Ke Sanxiao did not answer directly, but pointed in a direction. Song Yun understood immediately that Ke Sanxiao was also suspicious of the City Lord's Mansion at this moment.

When he saw Ke Sanxiao was also assassinated, Song Yun was certain in his heart that the people who attacked him were not hired by the Liehuo Sect.

In Luosu City, he had only had conflicts with these two forces. If it wasn't the Liehuo Sect, then the only one left was the City Lord's Mansion.

Suddenly, Ke Sanxiao's spiritual sense captured a wave, and he felt that something was approaching quickly.

His hand immediately rested on the hilt of the spirit sword, ready to attack.

Song Yun noticed Ke Sanxiao's movements and immediately stopped him, saying, "Friend Ke, wait a minute, this is my spirit beast."

Song Yun looked up and saw the spirit bird flying towards him at an extremely fast speed. Its figure drew a graceful arc in the air, and then landed steadily on Song Yun's shoulder.

The arrival of the spirit bird eased the tense atmosphere a little.

Ke Sanxiao took a look at the fat spirit bird. It had a round body, smooth feathers, and a pair of smart little eyes that were bright and lively.

"Brother Song's spirit beast looks a little special!" Ke Sanxiao asked with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

"Do you also think it looks like a fat spirit chicken?" Song Yun gently stroked the feathers of the spirit bird and said with a smile.

“No…no, ha…ha…” Ke Sanxiao laughed unconsciously.

Song Yun shook his head helplessly.

Lingque ignored the conversation between the two and just kept looking around.

At this time, Nan Yi and Qian Xue from the Beast Taming Sect also arrived at the scene on their swords.

After they fell from the sky, they put away their spirit swords.

"Hello, fellow Daoist guest!"

They both bowed to Ke Sanxiao at the same time, and Ke Sanxiao nodded.

Then, Nan Yi and Qian Xue's eyes fell on the two silver plates with the word "Kill" in Ke Sanxiao's hands, and there was a hint of shock in their eyes.

They also noticed the two men in black lying on the ground, and Nan Yi quickly looked at Song Yun.

"You are not mistaken. Fellow Daoist Ke was also assassinated by the Hidden Killing Hall." Song Yun said.

“The Hidden Killing Hall is too bold. They actually dare to attack the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect and the Qingyun Sect at the same time. Aren’t they afraid of arousing the wrath of the two sects and being united to destroy them?” There was a hint of confusion in Nan Yi’s voice.

"As long as the high-level cultivators do not attack the low-level cultivators, most sects will ignore it. What's more, the strongholds of the Hidden Killing Hall are scattered and difficult to deal with!" Ke Sanxiao shook his head.

He knew that the reason why the Hidden Killing Hall had been able to exist for such a long time was because their whereabouts were secretive and elusive.

Ke Sanxiao waved his hand and picked up the items on the ground, then he turned to look at Song Yun.

"We can't keep the bodies of these two people, get rid of them!"

Song Yun nodded. He knew that if these bodies were discovered, it might cause more problems.

Then, the two of them released fireballs at a corpse respectively.

Under their control, the fireball landed accurately on the two corpses. The flames spread quickly and devoured the corpses.

In the flames, the body was quickly burned to ashes, leaving no trace.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the stairs, breaking the silence in the room.

Song Yun took a closer look and found that it was the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect who had hurried over with the owner of the attic.

"Brother Ke!" The disciple of the Divine Sword Sect bowed to Ke Sanxiao as soon as he entered the door.

Ke Sanxiao nodded in response.

"Sir, I'm very sorry that you were frightened by what happened tonight. We have arranged another room for you and you can check in at any time." The owner of the attic said hurriedly with an apologetic look on his face.

The host's attitude was very sincere. He did not want to lose a distinguished guest like Ke Sanxiao because of this incident.

"It doesn't matter. This matter is beyond your control." Ke Sanxiao knew that this matter had nothing to do with this attic, and he nodded in understanding.

Afterwards, several people entered a new room under the guidance of the owner of the building.

The room was also clean and comfortable. Apparently the host had arranged a better room for me in order to make up for this unpleasant experience.

"We need to go to the City Lord's Mansion to look for Kongtai tomorrow." After the owner of the building left, Ke Sanxiao said to Song Yun.

"If it was really someone hired by the City Lord's Mansion who did this, would it be dangerous for us to go there?" Song Yun frowned and said with some concern.

"No, as long as City Lord Liu is not stupid, he won't dare to deal with us openly! After all, the Divine Sword Sect and the Qingyun Sect are standing behind us, he won't act rashly." Ke Sanxiao smiled slightly, he seemed to have considered this problem a long time ago.

Song Yun thought about it and felt that what Ke Sanxiao said made sense.

The group then chatted for a while, discussing possible action plans and response strategies.

Not long after, Song Yun, Nan Yi and others left Ke Sanxiao's room.

Song Yun felt that too many things happened tonight and he needed to sort out his thoughts.

He did not go back to the original inn, but decided to stay in this attic. It was relatively safe here and close to Ke Sanxiao, making it convenient for them to act together tomorrow.

Song Yun was lying in the new room. It was quiet all around him, with only the occasional sound of the night wind coming from outside the window.

He looked through the window, gazing at the stars in the night sky. Those twinkling stars seemed to be telling the secrets of the universe.

His thoughts drifted far away with the starlight, thinking about everything that had happened recently, from the disappearance of the sect disciples to the intervention of the Hidden Killing Hall, and to the possible conspiracy of the City Lord's Mansion.

Thousands of thoughts were intertwined in his mind, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Before he knew it, Song Yun finally fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion and had a dreamless night.

However, just as daybreak approached, there was a hurried knock on his door, breaking the morning tranquility.

"Brother Song, something big has happened!" Nan Yi's voice came from outside the door, full of urgency.

Song Yun was instantly awakened from his sleep. His figure flashed in the room and appeared at the door.

He quickly opened the door and saw Nan Yi's anxious face.

"Brother Song, news came from the City Lord's Mansion this morning that the City Lord Kong Tai was assassinated!" Nan Yi said hurriedly after seeing Song Yun.
