NOVEL NEXT Chapter 815: Dead
The Ghost Saber God heard this, and his expression showed a hint of struggle. However, upon seeing all the Divine Beasts surrounding him, he sighed and said, "Alright, I accept captivity. But don't seal my Divine Skills!"
The Azure Lion said, "Don't worry, we're not afraid of you running away.
If you run, it only proves you did it.
If the monk can escape, the temple cannot. If you really run, we'll visit your territory."
The Ghost Saber God nodded, glared once at Jidian, and under everyone's guidance, he was confined in a cave.
To ensure the Ghost Saber God doesn't kill again or cause any accidents, eight great masters formed pairs to take turns guarding him.
At the same time, other Divine Beasts would select one person to join the guard duty.
This way, with the combination of three different groups of Divine Beasts, there would be no collusion to falsely accuse the Ghost Saber God. Guarders included to prevent any real killers from seizing the chance to murder and cover up.
In the first round of guarding the Ghost Saber God were the Four-winged Sparrow, the Azure Lion, and a Divine Beast named Fire Mandarin Duck.
In the corner, Yi Zheng couldn't contain his curiosity and asked Jidian, "Do you really know that Big Buddha Invisible Qi? I feel like you're bluffing."
Although Yi Zheng was questioning, his tone was certain.
Because he instantly noticed the appeal of the Big Buddha Invisible Qi, especially in a fight, quietly shaving the opponent bald or cutting other hair, turning them into a bald chicken, was more disgusting than killing them.
If enhanced, it could be the strongest killing move.
Therefore, upon seeing Jidian use the Big Buddha Invisible Qi on hair, Yi Zheng activated the Wisdom Technique, frantically simulating and deducing, yet deduced nothing, not a single hair.
This was the first time the Wisdom Technique failed.
Zhang Kuang was confident in his cultivation technique, thus if he couldn't deduce it, he believed the other was bluffing. Hence the question.
Jidian chuckled, clearly admitting he's bluffing.
Barks-at-heaven dog froze, then immediately transmitted his voice: "You don't really know the Big Buddha Invisible Qi? What about our hair?"
Jidian replied, "Of course, I prepared in advance!
Your own hair fell off, wouldn't you know?"
Yi Zheng and barks-at-heaven dog were collectively speechless, then both were startled. This monk had calculated everything beforehand and prepared hair! All of this just to frame the Ghost Saber God!
The calculation was too deep!
Jidian saw their reaction and said, "I didn't frame the Ghost Saber God... he merely appeared at the right moment."
Yi Zheng was shocked again, transmitting his voice, "Damn, what do you mean 'at the right moment'?"
Jidian said, "I wanted to find a scapegoat, and he appeared, so I blamed him."
Yi Zheng and barks-at-heaven dog were stunned again, staring at the compassionate-looking monk, thinking this guy was too cunning!
Barks-at-heaven dog then recovered, exclaiming, "Damn, did you kill the person?"
Jidian glared at him: "I kill nothing! If I wanted to kill, you two would've been stewed tofu long ago!"
Barks-at-heaven dog and Yi Zheng realized it made sense since he initially intended to act. It was only Mount Tai God who stopped him. But that doesn't mean Jidian didn't have the opportunity to strike in secret.
On the contrary, he had plenty of opportunities!
At least, considering the killer could silently slaughter 14th or 15th-tier Divine Beasts, Jidian had ample opportunity.
Barks-at-heaven dog said, "Then why do you talk about finding a scapegoat?"
Yi Zheng suddenly spoke, "If no one's to blame, the killer would be cautious. If someone's blamed, the killer might strike again! And quickly!
Bald monk, you're luring the snake out of its hole!"
Jidian flicked Rabbit's forehead, causing sparks to fly, but still shook his fan with a smile, saying, "Rabbit, you have some intelligence...
Next, you two should not sleep, keep a close watch around, and stay alert.
I guess that guy might act tonight!"
Barks-at-heaven dog said, "What if the person chickens out? Doesn't act?"
Jidian grinned: "At that time, this monk has his ways!"
Yi Zheng tugged his big rabbit ears, vaguely guessed Jidian's plan, then looked toward the distant cave holding the Ghost Saber God, thinking, "This guy, his luck is really bad!"
At night, Yi Zheng and barks-at-heaven dog sat by the fire, staring with wide eyes at the Divine Beasts near the Nine Yin God.
Those Divine Beasts were silent, keeping an eye on Rabbit, fearing he'd suddenly come over and cut off a leg.
Time ticked by...
"Ah... yawn..." Yi Zheng yawned.
Barks-at-heaven dog smacked his lips and said, "With three days, it's been a day and a half. Soon, the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal should resurrect.
Rabbit, who do you think the killer is?
Howl!
What are you doing?!"
Barks-at-heaven dog glared at the cheeky Rabbit, Yi Zheng holding a handful of dog hair, tossing it into the fire, smelled the aroma, and took a sip of wine, saying, "Do we even need to ask? It's definitely the Ghost Blade.
The old guy couldn't even bother defending himself."
Barks-at-heaven dog thought about it and agreed, the two chatted, time flew by.
As they talked, suddenly, everything went quiet, everyone looked toward the cave of the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal.
Barks-at-heaven dog curiously asked, "What is everyone looking at?"
Yi Zheng said, "Stupid dog, calculate the time, it's past the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal's time of death. Why hasn't he resurrected?"
Barks-at-heaven dog froze, he'd been waiting for the gleaming golden light, thus hadn't noticed the time.
Upon Rabbit's words, he quickly took his paws to calculate, exclaiming, "No way, the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal died at midnight, now it's past midnight to 1 a.m to 3 a.m, why isn't he alive?"
Yi Zheng got up and walked toward the cave of the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal, everyone followed.
Standing at the entrance, the cave was empty, nowhere to see the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal!
Barks-at-heaven dog said, "Do you think the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal logged off?"
Yi Zheng directly gave him a big roll of the eyes, previously while drinking, Yi Zheng had asked Hundred-Year-Old Immortal, Fair Peach Branch and others, they were System Divine Beasts, not BUG existences like Yi Zheng, barks-at-heaven dog, and Jidian.
They couldn't log off.
Yi Zheng opened the friend list, it was gray!
Yi Zheng said, "The Hundred-Year-Old Immortal hasn't resurrected, the friend list is gray."
Others opened the friend list one after another...
"It's indeed gray, the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal hasn't come back. What's going on? Does the resurrection time increase with Divine Beast's death?" someone asked.
Yi Zheng shook his head, "Impossible, such a big issue, even if the system wouldn't thunderously notify, it would list in the system update details. I just checked, the last update was a long time ago.
The resurrection time is still one day, 24 hours!"
"But the Hundred-Year-Old Immortal didn't come back." barks-at-heaven dog said.
Yi Zheng's expression turned serious, "Then there's only one possibility, he's dead! Forever dead!"
