After a moment of burning incense, Yan Shuyue and the others disguised themselves as three unremarkable porters.

After passing by the teams calmly and naturally, they stood guard at the port.

Not long after, a huge black ship appeared on the coast.

The black ship was traveling very fast, and soon it stopped in front of everyone from far away.

Yan Shuyue and others looked up and saw the big word "Temple" written on the fluttering sail. Obviously, this was the ship leading to the temple.

All the teams boarded the ship.

After they all went up, Yan Shuyue said, "Let's go."

The three of them blended in with the ordinary people carrying goods and each carried a sack.

But Yan Shuyue paused while moving.

"What's the matter, Junior Brother?"

Yan Shuyue moved her nose, her eyes a little confused, but because she wasn't sure yet, she didn't say anything.

"Nothing, let's get on the boat first."

Relying on Yan Shuyue's excellent makeup skills, the three of them were not discovered by any team after boarding the ship.

However, Yan Shuyue discovered that a small team was questioning them everywhere.

That team was Yan Jingxue, Qin Ao and others.

After seeing many teams appearing at the port, Yan Jingxue realized like Yan Shuyue that this last assessment point turned out to be a gathering test.

So she felt that the number one team must also be here.

After hearing Yan Jingxue's guess, Qin Ao immediately started checking people everywhere as soon as he got on the boat.

The method of interrogation was also very simple and crude, that is, directly forcing them to take out the team wooden sign and look at it.

Because Qin Ao Lingzun's late stage Great Perfection strength surpassed many of the new disciples present, and the other disciples in Yan Jingxue's team were also not low in strength, most of the team could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

After a while, Qin Ao and others focused their suspicious eyes on three of the teams.

And these three teams were the ones that Qin Ao and the others had not investigated.

It's not that they don't check, it's that they don't dare to check.

Just like this first one——

"Qin Ao, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are very brave. Do you even dare to check on my princess's team?"

Bai Tujiao, the captain of the White Tiger Dynasty's first team, sat on the imperial concubine chair brought out by the team members, looking at Qin Ao and others with disdain.

Then the second team——

"That is to say, Bai Tujiao, I think you should take care of the people of your White Tiger Dynasty. Don't you think that just because you are a child of a noble family, you can be arrogant everywhere? You don't even let the people of our Suzaku Dynasty go. In my eyes, I really don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.”

Zhu Huanfeng, the captain of the first team of the Suzaku Dynasty and the son of the national master, stared at Qin Ao with a smile, and then looked at Yan Jingxue, a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Finally, there is the third team——

"Hmph hum hum hum... Bah!"

The second largest force in the Tianlan Continent, Yuan Man, the second son of the Wuji Sect leader, led a small team, sitting not far away, eating their own delicacies with relish, and didn't even bother with Qin Ao's words just now when he asked them to show them the wooden sign. Gu.

Qin Ao's face was ugly. Although he was angry in his heart, he had to suppress his anger no matter how strong he was when facing these people.

Yan Jingxue was afraid that he would say something he shouldn't say later and anger these ancestors, so she quickly stepped forward and said on his behalf:

"The eldest princess and Mr. Zhu both misunderstood. Qin Ao and the others just wanted to see who led the team that won the first place. Now after asking around, it seems that the result must be among the teams led by the three. ." She said this not only to appease the three of them, but also to test them.

She directly pointed out that the first team was among them, and there might be someone in the first team who would show off.

So she was observing them while talking.

Bai Tujiao was the most difficult to mess with. She realized something quickly and narrowed her eyes, then chuckled, "It seems like your team should be number two, right? Otherwise, why would you be so anxious to care about number one?"

Yan Jingxue did not deny it either.

The second ranking is high, but it is certainly not as threatening as the first.

So as long as the number one among their three teams is, the team being targeted will definitely not have their turn.

However, Yan Jingxue never expected that no matter how good her plan was, it would fail Yan Shuyue.

Not only is the number one team not among Bai Tujiao's three teams, it's not even among all the teams here.

The three of them immersed themselves in the ordinary people, sitting leisurely in the cabin, listening to the movements outside, and still inquiring about news from the porters.

"What? Someone died on this boat?"

Yun Mengling lowered her voice and used an authentic local accent to successfully build a closer relationship with the two or three porters.

A few people chatted and finally came up with something useful.

"Yeah, I'm telling you, don't think there's anything strange about it. What's strange is not the dead people, it's the appearance of those people's deaths!"

The speaker was an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies. Even though he looked old, he was covered in tendon meat. He was squeaking when he was carrying goods, and he was spitting when he was chatting.

"A bunch of people died. How did they look like when they died? Is it weird?"

Yun Mengling quickly asked him.

"No, I heard that there was an accident at the port at that time. Only 50 people got on the ship, and then there were those 50 people. No one was left alive and they all died!"

"I heard that after the boat arrived at the temple, no one from the temple was seen getting off the boat, so they came up to check. They saw a boatload of corpses, 43 men and seven women. Everyone's face was full of horror, as if they had seen They were like ghosts, and the most important thing is that not only did those men have their bones broken, their tendons cramped, and their blood drained, but even the things down there were all cut off!"

"The skin of the seven women was skinned and their tongues were pulled out. When the people from the temple inspected the bodies, they found that the things they had cut off and pulled out were all in their own stomachs. inside!"

The little old man said excitedly: "I heard that they cut open the stomachs alive and stuffed them in!"

As soon as these words came out, let alone those two ordinary people, even Yun Mengling couldn't help but rub her arms in fear.

Yan Shuyue, who was looking at the people on the bow of the boat, turned around and asked after hearing what the little old man said:

"When did this happen?"

The little old man couldn't remember the details clearly, "It seems to have happened hundreds of years ago. Anyway, it was quite a big fuss at that time."

"Didn't you find the murderer?"

The little old man shook his head, "It's just that we didn't find it. The temple sent many people but couldn't find any clues."

Hearing this, Yan Shuyue touched her chin and lowered her eyes in thought.

Yun Mengling chatted with the little old man for a few more words, then waved her hand and returned to Yan Shuyue.

"Do you think what the little old man said is related to our assessment?"

Yan Shuyue nodded, "It should be, I just don't know how to do it specifically."

Yun Mengling frowned, "Could it be that you want us to find the murderer?" (End of Chapter)
