”This is a conspiracy, there's something wrong with that Wood Elder.” If Mo Zichen had not told them the truth, he would not have believed that someone would still believe such a plot that was filled with holes.
”I don't need to tell you what happened after that. You should have already guessed it.” Zuo Yiyun sighed. The Great Clan Elder and the Second Elder had usually taken care of her, and now that she was dead, she did not feel good about it at all.
”Did you eat anything unusual?” Zhu Er who had been silent all this time suddenly asked.
The Crying Blood Curse was an extremely overbearing poison technique after entering the body. After one month, it would invade the organs within the body. The Sobbing Blood Curse on Zuo Yiyun's body had been there for at least three months, so why was her aura so weak?
Zuo Yiyun thought for a while, shook her head and said, ”I didn't eat anything abnormal … That's not right. Two months ago, the Third Elder threw something into my mouth and it melted immediately. The Third Elder said that it was to increase our cultivation, so I didn't pay him much attention. ”
Third Elder …
This meant that the Third Elder knew about the existence of the Crying Blood Curse, but how could he have been tricked? Who was the one to truly injure the elders? Was this the person who had cast the Crying Blood Curse?
”I think that Wood Elder is very suspicious. Maybe all of this is caused by him.” Chu Tianyan said.
”Whether the mastermind is the Wood Elder or not, he must be involved in this matter.” Compared to what Chu Tianyan said, Mo Zichen was much more cautious.
”He alone won't be able to beat the four elders. There should be another four elders behind him who have launched sneak attacks on them.” Shui Qinan's mind seemed to have replayed the scene when the four elders were killed.
”But we have no proof that Iyun is innocent.” Mo Zichen said.
”Yes, Third and Second Elder are the best witnesses.” Shui Qinan's eyes surged, as though she was planning something.
That night, two black figures passed through the Immortal Phoenix Restaurant and Fallen Water Pavilion before arriving at the Wood Garden. After a short while, the two of them quietly left without anyone noticing that they had arrived.
Early morning.
”Ah!” ”Ah, my face!”
A scream came from three different places and all the people from the Zuo heard it but did not know what exactly happened.
The Tang Palace.
”Elder Qian, you must investigate this matter thoroughly and give my granddaughter an explanation. Look at my granddaughter's swollen face!” Wood Elder was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared. At the same time, he was deeply afraid of who could do this to him without him noticing.
”Elder Qian, quickly look at my precious daughter's face!” A beautiful woman walked in with a young girl in tow. The young girl wore a veil over her face, as if she was struggling unwillingly.
”My daughter's face suddenly slimmed down from the nose, and the bottom half of her face is now completely covered in skin and bones. Elder Qian, quickly help my daughter take a look.” The beautiful woman said with tears in her eyes.
Elder Qian looked at the few of them with a bad expression. This one was giving him a headache.
”Elder Qian head, come out. Come out and look at my face! Why is one side swollen while the other side is thinner! ” Another young girl rushed in, burning with impatience.
”Why are you guys here too?” The young lady who had entered last was obviously startled, but she soon understood that the two of them had the same sudden strange illness as her.
”What strange disease, this is someone poisoning us!” Wood Elder's granddaughter screamed.
