Myriad Paths of the Dragon Emperor

Chapter 5934: Who is the murderer?

”Fellow Daoist Gou Jian, how many years have you been exiled? Isnʼt it normal for something big to happen in the real world? Besides, how can there be an eternal power in this world?”

Pengzhan said disapprovingly.

”Fellow Daoist, you might not know this, but the flow of time in the primal chaos void is completely different from the real world. A star year has passed in the primal chaos void, but only a year has passed in the real world.”

Gou Jian said.

Lu Ming and Guang Qianʼs expressions did not change. However, the other three people had interesting expressions on their faces.

A year in the real world was equivalent to a stellar year in the primal chaos void, a difference of ten billion times?

Lu Mingʼs expression was calm because he had already learned about it from Ancestor Qingtian. After all, Ancestor Qingtian had inherited part of the memories of the Creator, Qing Qing. He knew some general knowledge about the real world.

However, he did not have any memories of the Tree of Life or the Ten Great Forces.

” This old man has been banished to the primal chaos void for more than 50,000 stellar years. However, only 50,000 years have passed in the real world. 50,000 years is not long to a supreme power.”

” Also, all of you havenʼt been to the real world before, so you donʼt know how terrifying the Great Dao Palace is. The Twelve True Palaces are like ants compared to the Great Dao Palace. They can be destroyed with a flip of their palms. Such a force has experienced many calamities and is still immortal. I really donʼt know what happened that caused the Great Dao Pill to fall and the Tree of Life to break.”

Gou Jian shook his head and sighed.

” To us, the stronger the Dao Palace is, the better. The stronger it is, the more likely it is to obtain a peerless opportunity.”

Pengzhanʼs eyes gleamed.

” Thatʼs right. It looks like thereʼs no danger or array formation. Letʼs go in and take a look.”

Du Kong said.

The others nodded. However, before entering, for safety reasons, they still summoned their puppets and let them enter the hall to explore.

A moment later, the puppet did not encounter any danger. The six of them then entered the Great Dao Pill Que together.

The six of them carefully investigated and found that there was indeed no danger. Even if there was a terrifying array here in the past, it should have been broken by the enemy.

”Everyone, why donʼt we split up?”

Peng Zhan suddenly suggested.

No one objected. Instead, they all looked thoughtful.

They were thinking about a problem from the branch of the Tree of Life.

If they were to encounter such an opportunity again, the six of them would split it equally, and only one-sixth of it would be obtained.

If he was the only one who discovered it, then it would all belong to him.

They were confident in their luck.

”I agree to separate.”

Gou Jian said.

”We also agree.”

The two brothers, Du Kong and Du Shen, said in unison.

Lu Ming and Guangqian had no objections.

The six of them split up into five directions and disappeared into the palace.

The Great Dao Pill was lacking, and the palace was extremely huge. It was as if he was in a maze.

Lu Ming did not dare to be careless. He urged the puppet to open up a path ahead.

There was no danger before, but it did not mean that there would be no danger later.

Fortunately, Lu Ming passed through several side halls without encountering any danger.

However, he did not find much. He only saw some scattered weapons that were damaged and had lost their spirituality. They should have been corroded by negative energy all year round.

As for the corpses of living beings, there was not a single one.

Ah!

Suddenly, a shrill scream rang out in the silence, causing Lu Mingʼs heart to skip a beat.

”Thatʼs…Pengzhanʼs voice, what happened?”

Lu Mingʼs expression turned cold.

After Peng Zhan screamed, the Great Dao Pill ran out and it fell silent again. There was no sound at all, but Lu Ming felt that the hall had become creepy.

”Letʼs go take a look!”

After pondering for a while, Lu Ming retracted his aura and headed towards the place where Peng Zhanʼs screams came from like a ghost.

Before he could arrive, he encountered the Evasion Space and Evasion God brothers.

Fellow Daoists, whatʼs going on?”

Lu Ming asked via voice transmission.

”I donʼt know. We heard Peng Zhanʼs screams and came to investigate. Fellow Daoist Ye Chen, did you find anything?”

Du Kong said.

Lu Ming shook his head. Yan Dao followed the scream.

The two sides met up, and they became much more confident. They increased their speed and soon arrived at the place where the scream came from. The pupils of the man and the two ants constricted, and their faces were gloomy.

Pengzhan was dead.

The corpse lay there, a bloody hole in its head. Blood flowed out, and the Immortal soul had completely dissipated.

Who killed Pengzhan?

At this moment, a figure rushed over. It was Guang Qian.

Guang Qianʼs pupils constricted when he saw Peng Zhanʼs corpse. He retreated quickly and distanced himself from Lu Ming and the Heaven Evasion Ant Brothers.

”Fellow Daoists, whatʼs going on? You killed Pengzhan?”

Guang Qian asked cautiously.

”Fellow Daoist, youʼve misunderstood. Fellow Daoist Ye Chen and I also heard the screams and rushed over. When we arrived, Pengzhan was already dead.”

Du Kong explained.

However, Guang Qian was still cautious and kept a certain distance from everyone.

Lu Ming sized up Peng Zhanʼs corpse and scanned it with his Immortal Awareness.

”Pengzhan died not long ago. Look at his True Self Universe.”

He grabbed at Peng Zhanʼs corpse and his True Self Universe appeared.

The Heart of the Universe was still there, but something was missing.

The branch of the Tree of Life!

They had clearly seen Peng Zhan plant the branch of the Tree of Life into the True Self Universe.

”Look at his storage ring.”

Lu Ming reached out and grabbed Peng Zhanʼs storage ring. He broke the imprint on it and opened the storage ring.

There were no branches of the Tree of Life.

The branch of the Tree of Life was taken away.

Killing and stealing treasures!

A thought appeared in everyoneʼs mind.

”Everyone, what happened?”

At this moment, Gou Jian arrived late and appeared in another direction. He looked at Peng Zhanʼs corpse with a shocked expression.

”Pengzhan was killed and the branch of the Tree of Life is gone.”

Du Kong said.

”What is it? How did this happen?”

Gou Jianʼs face paled.

”Gou Jian, are you still pretending?” Guang Qian said coldly. His aura spread and locked onto Gou Jian.

”Daoist Guang Gan, what do you mean?” Gou Jianʼs face sank.

”What do you mean? Haha!”

Guang Qian laughed coldly,” From the moment we heard Peng Zhanʼs scream to the moment we arrived, there wasnʼt much time left. The only way to kill Peng Zhan in such a short time was through a sneak attack. But even so, itʼs impossible for anyone to kill Peng Zhan in such a short time. Youʼre the strongest here. Only you have the chance.”

”Nonsense! Guangqian, are you trying to slander me? I even said that you killed Pengzhan and wanted to borrow someone elseʼs knife to kill him.”

Gou Jian said coldly.

”Gou Jian, you wanted to take the branch of the Tree of Life for yourself. I have reason to suspect that you killed Peng Zhan and took the branch.”

Guang Qian said.

Lu Ming, Du Kong, and Du Shen looked at Gou Jian suspiciously.

Guang Qian was right. Out of everyone present, Gou Jian was the only one who could kill Peng Zhan in a short period of time when he wasnʼt prepared for a sneak attack.

Moreover, Gou Jian came from the real world. Who knew what strange methods he had?
