Chapter 750 – That Person (2/2)

This sounded incredibly unreasonable, but in this vicious human world, it was actually the right and proper action.

'Such a wondrous pill, such an important person. Either I use them or they die, but they absolutely can't fall into the hands of anyone else, especially my enemies.'

”Out of consideration for the war, the military has a rather conservative stance and doesn't have too deep an involvement in this affair, but the Hall of Illustrious Persons is greatly concerned that that person will be controlled by the Imperial Court. Moreover, they also knew that that person was not willing to be found and would assuredly be infuriated, so they made plans in advance to kill that person, but…”

A tinge of fear appeared on the bishop's face, and his voice trembled. ”In one night, thirty-three bishops of the Xunyang Church died the most miserable of deaths.”

The manager's expression instantly transformed. ”A very unyielding response, a very formidable move.”

It was obvious that Xunyang Church, which had lost thirty-three bishops in one night, had been in charge of conducting this matter.

The bishop looked at the Tang Seventeenth Master and said, ”The purge in the capital conducted by Mao Qiuyu and Linghai Zhiwang might have been to conceal this matter.”

There was a sense that the bishop had not completely expressed what he wanted to say, and the Tang Seventeenth Master was silent, but he was actually thinking about other things.

He had his own speculations as to who the master of the Cinnabar Pill was. Like a few other people, he also thought it might be that person who had disappeared.

If those crystals containing that violent energy really were the legendary blood coral, then the answer seemed even more certain.

He was the Tang Second Master's brother and also his most trusted subordinate, so he knew more secrets than most.

That person that had disappeared currently had a dragon at their side, and it just so happened to be a Black Frost Dragon.

But it was only today that he learned that thirty-three bishops of the Xunyang Church had died in a single night.

This made him somewhat doubt his conclusion.

That person might have the ability to make such a formidable move and they had the right to make such an unyielding response, but that person was not this cruel and callous, and those bishops were essentially their subordinates. That person was undoubtedly a great personage, but never seemed conscious of this fact.

Moreover, based on the Tang clan's analysis, if that person was not dead, they should be in the south.

Last year, a desperate battle had taken place on the snowy plains. The Great Zhou Dynasty's black-armored heavy cavalry had engaged in close combat with the demons' wolf cavalry on the vast and boundless plain.

No one had expected that that person who had been missing for so long would appear on the battlefield with a downpour of swords. They engaged in a bloody battle, reversing the course of the battle but also suffering severe injuries at the hands of the terrifyingly strong Demon General Hai Di. At that point, that person disappeared into the sea of humans, never appearing again.

Only a few important characters like the Tang Seventeenth Master knew that after being wounded by Hai Di, that person had been ambushed immediately afterward by three human experts.

This was naturally a most shameless affair and could not be revealed to anyone, so the Imperial Court had kept an extremely tight lid on this information.

So in the Tang clan's judgment, if that person had managed to survive by a fluke, it was only natural that they be in the south.

The greatest possibility was Holy Maiden Peak, but it could also be Scholartree Manor or Mount Li. Only these places could safeguard their life.

If that person was in the south, then the Cinnabar Pill that had been present in the forts of the frontline for a year already had no relationship to that person.

Then why were there so many clues that all seemed to vaguely point in their direction?

Could it be that the master of the Cinnabar Pill hidden behind the curtain wished to use that person's name to perform some great undertaking?
