Chapter 55 Found some clues?
"Moreover, this formation is a strangulation formation. I speculate that the murderer used this strangulation formation to slaughter all the members of the Lu family."
"Strangulation formation?" Mu Lingyu's face changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He naturally knew what this meant.
The strangulation array is an extremely cruel and powerful array. Once activated, it can strangle all living creatures trapped in the array in a short period of time.
The second elder Duan Qingshan nodded and said in a heavy tone: "Yes, it is a strangulation array. This strangulation array is very cleverly arranged. If I were not proficient in the art of array formation, I would probably have difficulty detecting it."
Mu Lingyu frowned, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he was well aware of the seriousness of the matter.
After thinking for a moment, he turned his gaze to Duan Qingshan and asked doubtfully: "Second Elder, as far as I know, the strangulation array requires huge spiritual power to support it in order to exert its power. How did the murderer set up this array in Lu Mansion without being discovered?"
Second Elder Duan Qingshan sighed and responded solemnly: "According to my careful observation, the murderer should have secretly arranged spiritual power nodes in various key locations in the Lu Mansion."
"These nodes may seem insignificant on a normal day, but once activated, they can form a stranglehold in an instant."
"In addition, the deployment of such a powerful formation will inevitably produce violent fluctuations in spiritual power. In order to conceal the fluctuations in spiritual power from the public, the murderer must have used some special concealment method."
Second Elder Duan Qingshan went on to add: "Moreover, the murderer set up this strangulation array with another characteristic, that is, once it is activated, no one can break it unless the person who set it up personally cancels it."
After hearing all these words, a cold light flashed in Mu Lingyu's eyes, and he was shocked by the cruelty and cunningness of the murderer.
He spoke in a deep voice: "It seems that this murderer is not only proficient in formations, but also knows everything about the Lu Mansion."
"Also, Elder Duan, with your attainments in formations, can you deduce who set up this strangulation formation?"
Duan Qingshan shook his head slightly, his expression becoming more solemn: "To be able to set up such an exquisite and powerful strangling array, this person's attainments in array formations are quite high, and he is at least a master-level array formation master."
"Moreover, he also incorporated his own unique techniques into the strangling formation, making it even more powerful. In the Southern Flame Country, and even in the entire Yunluo Continent, there are only a handful of formation masters with this ability."
"Elder Duan, can you find some clues from the traces of the strangulation array?" Mu Lingyu asked in a heavy tone.
"No!" Second Elder Duan Qingshan said without hesitation, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness, "I have been searching for a long time before coming here, and I did not find any relevant clues among those formation traces."
When Mu Lingyu heard this, his pupils slightly widened and his heart sank.
He was well aware of Duan Qingshan's attainments in formations. If even he couldn't find clues from the strangulation formation, it was obvious how difficult the matter was.
"Son of God, do you think the reason why that man killed the entire Lu family was to seize Lu Sirou's immortal bone? After all, this immortal bone is very tempting." The second elder Duan Qingshan speculated thoughtfully.
"If the purpose was just to seize Lu Sirou's immortal spirit bone, why did that person kill the entire Lu family?" Mu Lingyu analyzed slowly, his tone calm and deep: "I guess there must be a deep hatred between the murderer and the Lu family, so he would do such a vicious thing."
Duan Qingshan nodded in agreement, and then continued: "There is another important point, which is how the murderer entered the Lu Mansion quietly. As far as I know, the Lu Mansion is heavily guarded and it is difficult for ordinary people to sneak in."
"So, the murderer must have some special means to set up such a powerful formation silently."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lingyu immediately thought of a possibility: "Perhaps the murderer is not just one person, but has accomplices. They worked together inside and outside to accomplish this smoothly."
When Mu Lingyu said this, the figures of Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue flashed through his mind.
He thought to himself: Even if they know how to set up formations, they are only fifteen years old now. It is impossible for them to have such attainments in formations, nor can they be master-level formation masters.
Moreover, they didn't seem to have any grudges against the Lu Mansion, and it was impossible for them to sneak into the heavily guarded Lu Mansion quietly.
At this moment, Mu Lingyu's suspicion of the two of them disappeared instantly.
"The Holy Son is right, but we checked those who have old grudges against the Lu family, and no one has the ability and strength to kill the entire Lu family." The second elder Duan Qingshan echoed.
Mu Lingyu's eyes flashed, and he thought of something. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He looked at the second elder Duan Qingshan calmly and said slowly: "Okay, Elder Duan, we will check it out tomorrow. We should also return to Qianluo Palace the day after tomorrow."
He paused, his smile widening, and continued, "After all, I have already taken what we need from Lu Sirou."
"What?" Second Elder Duan Qingshan's pupils widened, his face full of surprise, "Holy Son, are you saying that you have obtained Lu Sirou's heart blood, and she gave it willingly?"
"Yes, just last night. I didn't expect her to die like this. It's a pity that I didn't get her fairy bone!" Mu Lingyu said lightly.
Speaking of this, Mu Lingyu remembered last night, when he almost sacrificed his body in order to get Lu Sirou's blood.
Fortunately, he just said some sweet words to coax her around, and finally he said "he likes her", and she actually gave him her precious child without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Mu Lingyu sometimes wondered, is a stupid woman like Lu Sirou really the saint that they had been looking for for ten thousand years in Qianluo Palace?
Stupid, selfish, vicious, and pretentious, these are all her "merits".
Mu Lingyu secretly sighed in his heart. If he had known that Lu Sirou would die today, he would have dug out her immortal bones last night.
It’s a pity about the immortal bone. I don’t know if it is now with the murderer.
At this time, Duan Qingshan asked, "Holy Son, since we have obtained the Holy Maiden's heart blood, can we not investigate the Lu family's affairs anymore?"
Hearing this, Mu Lingyu responded calmly, "Now everyone in Nanyan Country knows that Lu Sirou is the Saint of our Qianluo Palace. For the sake of our Qianluo Palace's reputation, we will investigate the matter of the Lu family's extermination for another day tomorrow, and we will return to Qianluo Palace the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder Duan Qingshan nodded slightly, knowing in his heart that it was of vital importance to maintain the reputation and glory of Qianluo Palace at this moment.
After all, Saint Lu Sirou's identity was very important, and her death is undoubtedly a huge loss for Qianluo Palace.
"Yes, Holy Son! We will do our best tomorrow and continue investigating near the Lu Mansion. We will try our best to find the murderer and avenge the Lu family." After saying that, the second elder Duan Qingshan turned around and left the room.
