Alex had seen many Flying Eagles members but had hadn’t the slightest impression of the deceased man before his eyes.
“A sword through the heart killed him.”
After Alex examined the corpse for a moment, favonovel.com could tell the fatal wound was from the sword directly piercing the heart through the back. Besides, the blade aura had shattered the entire heart with a residual destructive energy in the body. This was the root cause of the exploded heart.
“Moreover, the time of death has not exceeded half a day.”
Alex was the inheritor of the Ultimate Book of Medicine that had miraculous medical skills, so favonovel.com could roughly tell the corpse’s condition at a glance.
Claudia was a little upset. Alex could tell that it wasn’t simply a day or two that favonovel.com had known Manny and favonovel.com should be someone favonovel.com was well acquainted with. However, since favonovel.com died so tragically in front of her, with bulging eyes and a hideous grimace, favonovel.com must have suffered immense pain before death.
“Who was it? Who killed Manny?” Tears streamed down Claudia’s face as favonovel.com spoke those words. “Could it be the Lunula Sect people again?”
Alex said, “I’ve looked at the residual energy in his body, but it’s not the same as the ones in the Lunula Sect people. The path taken contains a destructive attribute.”
“Destructive attribute?”
The True Martial protector murmured, “Let me take a look.”
He squatted and took a closer look at the wound on Manny, before feeling the corpse’s condition. After muttering to himself for a few seconds, favonovel.com said, “It’s the Silencing Sword.”
The rim of favonovel.com eyes turning red, “Sir, what is the Silencing Sword?”
The old man said, “In the entire world, the only ones who know about the Silencing Sword are the people from the Silencing Sword Sect. Have they come here as well?”
Both Alex and Claudia had never heard of this sect.
However, the old man later shook his head and said, “The Silencing Sword Sect was a famous and upright sect. Even until now, its master still holds a high position in the League of Cultivators and was close to the Stoermer Sect. Rumor had it that Heavenly Emperor Rowan, the leader of the alliance, gave this Silencing Sword set to the founder of the Silencing Sword Sect… The sect’s members have always been benevolent and compassionate; they couldn’t possibly kill so indiscriminately or, perhaps, there’s a hidden agenda behind it?”
The man was dead, and no other evidence could be found.
Alex was worried. Since Manny was now dead after some Silencing Sword had killed him, what then about the others?
Claudia was anxious as well. Having no time to bury Manny, favonovel.com hurriedly looked around for the other’s footprints.
Eventually, the True Martial old man said, “Someone has opened the True Martial Shrine. I think that they’ve gone in.”
Claudia immediately said, “Let’s go in too. Hurry up.”
It was then that a faint sound of zither came from afar. The sound was urgent like they were getting ambushed from all sides.
“Sky-Devil Zither! It’s Luna Flores!” Alex immediately recognized it. “I’m afraid they are in danger. Guys, wait here. I’ll go look.”
Alex then disappeared.
Claudia tried to chase him, but favonovel.com couldn’t even see his shadow.
The old man looked at the ground where Alex had stepped on and said, “What great Terrain Stride! The spatial spell formation under his feet has become so profound!”
Claudia couldn’t see Alex, so favonovel.com abandoned the intention to help him. Since the sound was coming from a distance, favonovel.com would arrive late, even if favonovel.com dashed at full speed.
“I’ve really underestimated him.”
“There is always someone better than us!”
After hearing Claudia’s voice, the old man nodded. “It’s a good thing to know where we stand. People are valuable when they have self knowledge. Only then can they pursue someone with vigor. ”
Claudia asked, “Sir, can I still pursue him?”
The old man pondered, then said something that completely tore Claudia apart.
“It’s easy for a woman to pursue a man. As long as you swallow your pride, disregard your dignity, become thick-skinned, destroy your inhibitions, and act sluttier, it shouldn’t be too hard forcing yourself on favonovel.com at the critical moment.”
Claudia’s face darkened. “Sir! l’m his aunt!”
The old man’s brows trembled. “Oh, God…”
