Chapter 331 Destroying the Corpse and Covering Up the Evidence, Exposing the Crime

Luo Xuan stood in the void, remaining silent from beginning to end.

After hearing people say that hundreds of infants and a dozen or so withered corpses of men and women were hidden in the valley, he determined that these men and women were the half of the group that had escaped from Tangjia Village and died.

Moreover, he understood the cause and effect of the whole matter better than anyone else present.

If I'm not mistaken, the Zhu family member who performed the Demon-Refining and Yin-Controlling Technique in the valley should be Tommy, Zhu Hede's apprentice.

The other party probably wanted to seal off the valley in this way to avoid being discovered by the messenger.

She underestimated the gods, or rather, she was too ignorant.

This action not only failed to evade the targeting of the baby-giving spirit, but also left traces in the valley, leading people to mistakenly believe that someone in the Zhu family was using the infant to create a demon.

The whole story is clear, but one thing remains unclear.

So, who helped Tommy and his group cover their tracks?
Based on the current situation, it shouldn't be the work of the Zhu family or the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce, otherwise they wouldn't be so foolish as to leave traces in the valley.

So it's more like a True Monarch or a Nascent Soul cultivator who happened to be passing by and possessed a World Treasure.
It seems highly likely that this is the case now, so I need to be careful during this period and conduct a thorough investigation of these True Monarchs and Nascent Soul cultivators to prevent them from causing trouble again in Zhenhai City after the return of the Great Venerable.

However, this person inadvertently helped the West Sea Vein a lot.

At this moment, everyone pointed the finger at the Zhu family of the Seven Star Chamber of Commerce, thus covering up the truth of the matter. This made Luo Xuan exclaim: Heaven is helping me!

Upon hearing Jin Chuan's urging, Luo Xuan nodded with a normal expression.

But secretly, he had already urged the primordial spirit in the Western Sea Realm to fly towards that valley.

He's going to destroy the evidence!
Di Xiu, who was explaining the matter on the spot, couldn't see the strangeness of these infants, but Jin Chuan, Jiu You, and others were different.

Let the conclusion fall on the Zhu family; why bother specifying any particular individual?
Then we can kill everyone who has come and gone from the Zhu family during this period, and the matter will be settled naturally, saving us the trouble of doing it ourselves.

What else could this be but divine intervention?
However, we cannot be careless; the traces must be removed as cleanly as possible.

Seeing that Luo Xuan agreed immediately, Jin Chuan nodded in satisfaction. Despite his pride, Xi Haimai was still clear-headed when it came to important matters.

Jin Chuan also began to consider whether he should privately persuade Luo Xuan to let the matter of Luo Ze go, considering Li Wushou's outstanding talent.

After thinking it over, Jin Chuan still didn't speak. Putting himself in Jin Chuan's shoes, he figured he probably wouldn't be able to prioritize the bigger picture either.

Composing himself, Jin Chuan said to Deng Jiuyou:
"Commander Luo has agreed, let's go now."

Just then, Deng Jiuyou, who was carrying the Spirit Soul True Lord, suddenly spoke:
"I also invite fellow Nascent Soul cultivators and True Lords from all sides present to come and witness this!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Chuan understood Deng Jiuyou's determination. The fact that he dared to invite all parties to witness meant that what he had just said was not just empty talk.

This truly calmed his anger somewhat, and his expression softened a bit.

A moment later, the group flew towards the Western Sea in a grand procession.

Valley of Infant Corpses
Luo Xuan's primordial spirit stepped out of the void.

Overlooking the entire valley, you can take in everything.

Upon seeing the infants and the withered corpses drained of their life force, Luo Xuan nodded slightly; they were indeed the lowly commoners.

Because he had gone ahead of them, he was about fifteen minutes ahead of Jin Chuan and the others, giving him plenty of time. In addition, he had already made plans on the way here, so he was very relaxed.

With a thought, a black pearl floated out, and a surge of malevolent energy erupted, flowing into the valley like a waterfall.

This Yin energy was collected by Luo Xuan a long time ago when he went deep into Huangyuan Mountain; he had almost forgotten about it.

However, the power that Li Wushou used when he killed Luo Ze in front of him felt somewhat familiar to him, so he has been studying it again in the past few days.

This is perfect for destroying the body and covering up the evidence!
The malevolent energy instantly filled the valley, and all the insects and ants within perished.

The corpses inside the cave melted away the moment they came into contact with the Yin energy, just like a snowman encountering the height of summer.

In the blink of an eye, the entire valley was empty, without even a trace of the people who had stepped on it.

Luo Xuan searched the valley again, then collected the overwhelming Yin energy back into the pearl, and disappeared into the dawn light.

Just as Luo Xuan was urging the Yin Sha to cleanse the valley.

There is a mountain stream about ten miles to the northwest of this valley (away from Zhenhai City).

Li Wushou, riding the body of a talisman master, sat cross-legged on a round stone and suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, the talisman master's cloak covered his entire body, and the fragrance of the Three Immortals Pavilion burned around the round stone.

He had just clearly sensed a surge of malevolent energy erupting in the Valley of Infant Corpses.

After a moment's thought, if I'm not mistaken, it should be Luo Xuan's traces in the destroyed valley, attempting to pin everything on the Zhu family through the testimonies of the crowd.

Li Wushou was not surprised by Luo Xuan's actions, nor did he care.

Through his network of talisman masters, he continuously fueled the flames behind the scenes and targeted the Zhu family, all in an effort to draw attention to the matter from all sides.

After the people on the flying boat successfully brought the news back to Zhenhai City, the Valley of Infant Corpses was no longer important.

It has successfully allowed Jin Chuan and others, along with representatives of various factions, to leave the Western Sea Realm. This is enough for Li Wushou!
As for why not directly expose the West Sea Vein?
People are willing to watch the Zhu family's drama, but how many people dare to watch the drama of the Great Venerable lineage?
Especially this kind of blatant violation of the Great Lord's prohibition.

If everyone had known from the beginning that it was the work of the Western Sea Vein, they probably would have pretended not to know. The instigation of the talisman master alone would not have been enough.

The most crucial point is that Li Wushou has not established trust with Jin Chuan and the others, and he is actually unsure how Jin Chuan and the others will handle the situation when faced with the actions of the Western Sea Vein.

After learning from Tommy about what the Western Sea Vein and the Goddess of Childbirth had done, Li Wushou was no longer just thinking about giving the Great Lord of Zhenhai a way out; he also wanted to offer him a knife!

A knife that wiped out the entire Western Sea Vein!

He also wanted to use this knife to see what kind of entanglement existed between the Great Lord of Zhenhai and the Western Sea Vein.

Sensing that the Yin energy in the Valley of Infant Corpses had dissipated, Li Wushou estimated that the time should be about right.

He tilted his head slightly and said softly:
Go and inform your old friend!

A gentle breeze stirred, and a mayfly perched on the talisman master's shoulder fluttered its wings and respectfully replied:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The moment the words left her lips, the mayfly's lifespan came to an end, and its body fell into the mountain stream.

Li Wushou, riding the body of a talisman master, slowly rose, casually extinguishing the incense sticks around the round stone and putting them back into his pouch, muttering to himself:

"Release the three of them; we should get ready."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Another respectful "yes" was heard, but this time the voice came from the talisman master.

The cloaks covering their bodies fluttered slightly, and three figures quietly appeared beneath the round stone.

Two of the figures looked rather old; one was a Golden Core cultivator and the other a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

These two were bait that Li Wushou had found during a lull in the fire.

At this moment, both of their minds were completely under the control of the talisman master, so their expressions were quite calm and respectful.

As for the other one, it was Tommy. At this moment, the expression on his face was somewhat complicated, both firm and tense, and he was in a state of high tension.

Seeing this, Li Wushou offered a word of comfort to Tommy:
"Don't be afraid, you won't die!"

Tommy nodded upon hearing this. She was nervous, but she wasn't afraid of dying.

She no longer cared about life or death when she decided to lead the villagers to escape; all she wanted was to expose the Western Sea Vein and that evil god, so that they would receive their due punishment.

So she asked again, uncertainly:
"The Great One will uphold justice, right?"

Li Wushou glanced at Tommy. This woman was indeed a bit stupid. The talisman master was acting in the name of the East Sea Vein. How could she question the fairness of the Grand Venerable at this time?
But seeing the hope in the other person's eyes, Li Wushou still replied:
"Will do!"

Upon hearing this, Tommy smiled, and the tension on his face eased considerably.

Seeing this, Li Wushou said no more. With a thought, he separated his mind from the talisman master's soul and entered the body of the Foundation Establishment elder beside Tommy.

At the same time, the talisman master took over the body, took off his cloak, and draped it over the Golden Core elder.

Under Tommy's somewhat puzzled gaze, the talisman master bowed slightly to the Foundation Establishment elder to whom Li Wushou had entrusted his spirit, and then disappeared into the dawn.

"Ho!"

The old man in the Golden Core stage, wearing a cloak, groaned, fine beads of sweat appearing on his face. He seemed to be carrying a mountain on his back, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Tommy was about to help when Li Wushou, controlling the Foundation Establishment elder, grabbed his arm.

"Have you forgotten what the master told you? Don't worry about anything, just sit on the round stone."

After giving a reminder, he pulled Tommy to sit on the round stone.

Tommy felt a strange sense of familiarity upon hearing the voice, and couldn't help but look the Foundation Establishment elder up and down, but he really couldn't remember when he had seen him before.

Seeing that the Foundation Establishment elder had closed his eyes and seemed unwilling to speak anymore, Tommy also shut his mouth and looked at the Golden Core elder.

She had just received many instructions from the True Lord of the East Sea Vein, so she wasn't surprised by the sudden appearance of the two people. However, she was still somewhat curious about them.

The old man with the Golden Core cultivation under the round stone finally couldn't hold on any longer and sat down heavily in the mountain stream. The cloak behind him began to flutter, and the aura within it began to dissipate.

At the same time, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out outside the temple in Cuihe New City.

A giant, phantom-like mayfly hovered outside the incense smoke rising from the temple.

Just as Luo Feng and I finished discussing our strategy, the Goddess of Childbirth, who had been separated from me for a short time, suddenly opened her eyes and looked outside the temple with some confusion.

Why did the Eternal Mother appear at this moment?

Didn't the other party take the Infant Heart Wooden Stake to do something important?

Is it going to be fine so soon?

With a flick of her sleeve, the incense smoke outside the hall parted to create a passage. Just as the Goddess of Childbirth was about to invite the Eternal Mother into the temple, she heard the Eternal Mother suddenly flap her wings and transmit her voice:
"Oh no! You're going to be exposed while we're delivering a baby!"
