C8 Be framed

Heaven's Inquisition had been outside searching for clues these past few days, checking to see if any other sects had encountered anything similar or made any unusual discoveries.

However, after staying out for a few days, he still gained nothing. Tian Tian asked and brought Ling'Er to an inn. This inn was located at the border of a few cities, so there were many people there as well as some others.

Of course, he would also be very well-informed, because as long as there were more people, there would be more mouths, and as long as there were more mouths, he would be able to get some useful clues and information.

Tian Wen sat at a table in the corner of the hall, with Ling'er standing by the side. Just as Tian Wen was drinking her tea, a group of people walked in from outside. They were a group of tall and strong people from the Western Regions.

They were dressed differently from the Han Chinese. They spoke with accents and their voices were loud. Upon entering the room, they attracted a lot of attention. One of them, the tallest and strongest person, threw his sword on the table.

He shouted to the people watching them in the inn, "What are you all looking at? If you keep looking, I'll kill you all!" The crowd did not want to provoke this sort of evil person, so they all turned their heads away.

After that, that group of arrogant people started laughing out loud, talking a few sentences that no one understood. Ling'er rolled her eyes at them and whispered to Heaven's Inquisition, who was drinking tea, "Young Master, look at how arrogant they are!" Heaven's Inquisition glanced at Ling'er, hinting her to mind her own business.

Ling'er then retreated to the side, and the group of workers served the good wine and good meat before starting to chat loudly. These people were definitely not good people, and it was best not to provoke them, so everyone was busy with their own stuff, ignoring them.

As Tianwen drank his tea, he listened to what they were saying. He heard sensitive words such as palace master and the allocation of manpower, one of the leaders among the group asked the big man to keep a low profile, so he stopped talking about these things.

Heaven's Inquisition guessed that this group of people's origins were unknown. What did they have to do with the continuous attacks on the Devil Sect? If it was these people, then where was their motive force?

I wonder where this group of people came from, and I wonder what exactly they were talking about. Palace Mistress? The several palaces known in the martial arts world had no enmity with the Devil Sect. Therefore, it was unlikely that this Central Plains one would have any enmity with the Devil Sect.

The clothing of these people were all from the Western Regions, so Heaven's Inquisition guessed that they were from the Western Regions. I wonder if the Devil Sect had any conflicts with the organizations of the Western Regions?

Returning to his room, Heaven's Inquisition used the Demon Sect's Flying Eagle to send a message to Nangong Jue, telling him about the encounter with the people from the Western Regions.

In the letter, he had also asked Nangong Jue if he should follow these people and learn more about their situation. The next day, just as he came out of the guest room upstairs, he heard someone shouting downstairs in the lobby.

As he and Ling'er went downstairs, they heard someone announce the news. They then heard a loud voice, "I heard that the Devil Sect ambushed South Shaolin last night!"

When Heaven's Inquisition heard this news, he immediately became alert. He immediately realized that there was someone framing the Devil Sect! If the Devil Sect had acted like this, they would have informed Heaven's Inquisition.

Heaven's Inquisition knew that his grandfather would not do something like this. He would never take the initiative to attack a sect. Moreover, Nan Shaolin was a place filled with experts, so Nangong would not be so reckless.

Hearing that, Ling'er wanted to find that person to reason with, and get him to come up with evidence, so that he wouldn't spout nonsense. However, he was stopped by Nangong Jue.

The more trouble the better. Moreover, he saw the group of people from the Western Regions sitting in the middle of the hall. They had also heard the news, so they didn't say anything. They just looked at each other.

Heaven's Inquisition found this action very strange. Could these people really be related to the attack on the Demon Sect? Heaven's Inquisition didn't dare to act without permission from his grandfather.

At this time, a sound came from outside the door. The bystanders wouldn't feel anything different from this voice, but Heaven's Inquisition and Ling'er were very familiar with each other when they heard it. This was the voice of the Devil Sect's distress signal.

Tian Wen and Ling'er looked at each other, before leaving the inn without leaving a trace. The distress signal was sent from a short distance away, and Tian Wen and Ling'er hurried over to take a look.

Because they had lost a large amount of signal bombs, Heaven's Inquisition was unsure if the distress signal was sent by the Devil Sect, so they didn't attack from the front, but chose to sneak in from the back.

They arrived at the location of the signal. It was from outside the city, near a relatively desolated cave. However, Heaven's Inquisition and Ling'er looked around and didn't find anything.

Ling'er asked if they had been ambushed, but why was it that no one was around. Heaven's Inquisition looked around and did not reply. Even if they set up an ambush, there should still be people around.

Just as Heaven's Inquisition was at a loss, another signal sounded. This time, it was really close. It was coming from behind the mountain in front of them.

This mountain wasn't high enough to climb, so Heaven's Inquisition brought Ling'er up the mountain, and just as they were about to reach the top, they heard the sounds of fighting coming from behind them.

When he and Ling'er climbed to the top of the mountain, they saw the people of the Western Regions, and they also saw one of them kill the last member of the Devil Sect.

Tianwen'er covered her mouth, not allowing her to make a sound. If they were to leave now, they would no longer be able to save the people from the Devil Sect. If they did so, they would just be alerting the snake by hitting the grass.

Then Heaven's Inquisition saw them leave after killing those people. They waited for those people to leave and immediately checked. Not a single one was left alive, but it was clearly different from when they were attacked.

The people of the Devil Sect had clear traces of fighting, and their signal detonator hadn't been taken away. This meant that the attack on the Devil Sect wasn't caused by these people of the Western Regions.

This made Heaven's Inquisition even more confused. Who was the one that framed the Devil Sect? Why were these people from the Western Regions fighting with the Devil Sect? Could it be that there was a third party?

Heaven's Inquisition sent these clues along with his own conjecture to Nangong Jue. Before they could receive a reply from Nangong Jue, those people from the Western Regions were already preparing to leave.

After some consideration, Heaven's Inquisition decided to follow them and wait for news from Grandfather. He was afraid that if he didn't follow this group of people, he would have a hard time finding them again.

Thus, they followed this group of people from the Western Regions into Xunyang City. Xunyang City was a small city, and the Devil Sect didn't set up any branches here.

If this conjecture was not wrong, then the enemy standing in the dark before the Devil Sect must be someone who understood the Devil Sect very well.

The first thing Heaven's Inquisition thought of was that there was a traitor in the Devil Sect, but he had thought about all of the core members of the Devil Sect, and eliminated them one by one. There was simply no agreement.

After Tian Wen followed these people into Xunyang City, they arrived at a luxurious looking inn. Ling'er couldn't help but ask, "For such a small Xunyang City to have such a large inn?"

Ling'er's words caused Heaven's Inquisition to ponder. He thought to himself, Ling'er is right. This doesn't make sense, there's definitely something fishy going on.

In order to not alert them of the presence of Tianwen and Ling`er following them, Tianwen and Ling`er found a small inn to stay in.

Heaven's Inquisition specifically asked for a room upstairs near the street. When the window was opened, one would be able to see the entrance of the great inn. This way, they would be able to monitor the people of the Western Regions from their room.

At the same time, Heaven's Inquisition was also awaiting his grandfather's order. Nangong Jue was at the Devil Sect's headquarters. As he thought about the contents of Heaven's Inquisition's letter, he thought, "People of the Western Regions?" The Devil Sect had never had any contact with the people of the Western Regions.

So, he kept on considering whether he should follow them or not. Just as he was hesitating, he received Heaven's Inquisition's second letter in which it mentioned that they were following the people of the Western Regions and also saw them killing the people from the Devil Sect.

As well as the matter of the Devil Sect's sneak attack on Nan Shaolin that they had heard about at the inn, there was a rumor circulating in the martial arts world that would have a negative impact on the Devil Sect.

After considering it over and over again, Nangong Jue replied to Tian Wen and had them continue to follow these people from the Western Regions. Afterwards, they would have to report anything that happened.

It seemed like there were people in the martial arts world who hated the Devil Sect and started to frame it. Today, Nan Shaolin was exterminated and the Devil Sect was blamed for this. Who knew what tricks they would use tomorrow?

Nangong Jue decided to personally go to the Southern Shaolin. If the killing method was the same, then it meant they were a group of people. Doing something so extreme this way had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the different martial arts sects.

It seemed that his opponent was planning to use the martial arts world's big sects to get rid of the Devil Sect. One could imagine just how insidious and cunning this man's mind was.

Thus, on the second day, Nangong Jue set off for South Shaolin City. He must investigate this matter to the end and find out who was the one that was wreaking havoc behind the Devil Sect.

If this continued, it was very likely that the Devil Sect would become the target of public criticism. At that time, not only would the Devil Sect not do anything, they would offend everyone in the martial arts world and become the target of everyone's attacks. Nangong Jue clenched his fists and swore to himself that he would find out who the culprit was.

The Devil Sect built by Nangong Jue wouldn't be destroyed so easily by others. However, what made Nangong Jue angry was that he didn't even know who was controlling it from behind. He could only rely on clues to track it down bit by bit.

Nangong Jue brought his men to Nan Shaolin, but there were already guards outside. When they saw that the people who came were from the Devil Sect, they were very excited and not only did they not allow them to enter, they even asked them to hand over the scripture.

The more Nangong Beidou heard, the more confused he became. However, regardless of what the people from the Devil Sect said, those monks would not listen to him and completely block the door, preventing anyone from entering.

Just as the two sides were in a deadlock, the people from the Devil Sect lost their patience and prepared to charge in, someone came out. It was the Lord Reverend Fang Qing from the North Shaolin Tribe. He bowed to Nangong Jue and said, "Your Devil Sect has already gotten what you want. Why are you still coming?"

Nangong Jue then explained to his superior, saying that the Demonic Sect had no idea that they would come here to take a look after hearing the rumors.

Why did the people from the Devil Sect come back after they killed them?" Now that he heard Nangong Jue's words, he felt that it was a little strange. He thought about it again and again and let Nangong Jue go in to take a look, but he was not allowed to bring a lot of people.

This suggestion had garnered the support of many young monks, but with the help of the abbot, Nangong Jue and the others had gone in. Mi told the others to keep watch outside, they did not have to worry about the Sect Leader at all.

Nangong Jue followed the abbot into the Southern Shaolin and saw the corpses of the men from the Demonic Sect. Nangong Jue checked them one by one and sure enough, the method was the same as the man who ambushed the Demonic Sect.

They arrived at the corpse of the Southern Shaolin's abbot, Chang Xing Fang, who opened his mouth and said, "I wonder if this was done by your sect. The Chang Xing's Fran Sutra was also taken away." Nangong Jue denied that it was done by the Devil Sect.

He had also told the Highest Qing that the Devil Sect had recently been ambushed by the same group of people. Moreover, even if the Devil Sect had done this, they wouldn't openly leave their Devil Sect seals.

At this time, Nangong Jue suddenly thought of something. It would take at least seven or eight days for Bei Shaolin to arrive at Nan Shaolin City on the way, but right now, Minister Shang Qing had arrived at the scene before his Devil Sect. This confused Nangong Jue.
