Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 513 - Chapter 513: Chapter 327 Sharp_1

Chapter 513: Chapter 327 Sharp_1

A dozen people had vanished without a trace, undoubtedly the work of one of the Six Great Sects, but at the moment, no one had any clues. The Flying Flow Sect was currently the biggest suspect, stirring up anger and resentment, with all eyes glaring at the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The one who had originally been suspected was him, yet with a few words, he’d shifted the blame onto himself. It had to be said, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect indeed had great stratagems. Regardless of which sect eventually turned out to be the culprit, the Heavenly Sword Sect had made an enemy of him, and he would seize an opportunity to take revenge.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect gave a faint smile and said to the crowd, “Finding the murderer will be difficult since we currently have no trails whatsoever. Our only choice is to bring in a few suspects for questioning. Perhaps, under the pressure of us, who are a Half-step Saint Seat, the killer will be scared into confessing.”

“Do you really think that’s possible? Whoever dared to harm the dozen or so people from the Heavenly Saint Sect must have been fully aware of the consequences. Threats will not work. Especially if you are so eager to use intimidation, could it be you are trying to find scapegoats?”

The Flying Flow Sect Leader stared at the other party, scepticism in his eyes. For such actions would not only provoke and muddy the waters, but it would also make everyone in the camp fear that they could be suspected as the murderer; how would they defend themselves?

It was rumored that the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect had acquired the opportunity of the Holy See. Could all this be a diversion? To have everyone hunting for the so-called murderer while he held onto this opportunity, thus claiming the opportunity for himself?

Celica Shingo also knitted his brows and shook his head, “I don’t think it’s appropriate. We should start with the dozens of corpses. No matter what Divine Skill the murderer used to kill, if we want to investigate, we will be able to find clues and identify which sect it belongs to from the Divine Skill used.”

“What if other sects purposefully used different Divine Skills to frame people?” insisted the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Although the disciples of the Six Great Sects usually study their own sect’s Divine Skills and do not easily cultivate those of other sects, there’s still a possibility, especially since many other Sects’ Divine Skills are indeed top-tier.

The murder of a dozen people was too peculiar – no one could be sure there wasn’t a hidden conspiracy. Especially since the Heavenly Saint Sect came to him aggressively this morning, this also meant they couldn’t identify the murderer from the corpses, and furthermore, the dozen or so victims all left bloody letters identifying him as the only suspect. It’s highly likely the murderer’s methods originated from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Watching the back and forth arguments among the crowd, the Heavenly Saint Sect also grew impatient, “Can we calm down a bit? After all, the deceased belong to our Heavenly Saint Sect. How to proceed next should be decided by us. I propose we first question a few suspicious individuals, particularly those who were sneaking around last night or were close to our Heavenly Saint Sect, as these people are highly suspicious.”

“That would naturally include a few elders from the Flying Flow Sect, who were prowling around the camp yesterday and whispering to each other. With one look, it seems there’s a significant plot. Adding to that, the Flying Flow Sect has always been oppressed. It would make sense for them to strike back in secret all of a sudden.”

Someone immediately voiced his opinion. The people of the Flying Flow Sect have always been solitary, with no interaction with other disciples, and even if they were bullied, they always endured. Such people were undoubtedly the most terrifying, who knew what they were plotting in secret?

A few others also joined in agreement and defended their claims, “Now that you mention it, it does seem so. Several disciples from the Flying Flow Sect kept inquiring about the number of people in other sects. Initially, I did not take it to heart, but now looking back, it gave me chills. It’s good that they targeted the Heavenly Saint Sect first.”

“These are all slander.” An Elder from the Flying Flow Sect heard this and exploded with anger, standing up to defend, “Our camp at the Flying Flow Sect is on the outermost periphery. If we wanted to target the disciples of the Heavenly Saint Sect, we must pass through several other Sect camps. Is it not obvious we would be seen? Even if we were to strike, it would definitely be outside the tents, why would we go to the innermost Heavenly Saint Sect?”

Indeed, the logic of this argument stood. Since the Flying Flow Sect had always been bullied by them, their camp was naturally located on the outskirts. If danger arose, they would be the first line of defense. Unlike the Heavenly Saint Sect, due to their large number of disciples, they were located in the center of the camp. Among the Six Great Sects, they also had the strongest power. The Flying Flow Sect really didn’t have the capacity to penetrate and strike.

Though all Six Great Sects were here seeking the opportunity of the Holy See, the Heavenly Saint Daoist was, after all, from the Heavenly Saint Sect. In order to take back the opportunity of their ancestors, the Heavenly Saint Sect had brought all their strength, sparing no expense. However, other sects were different, only bringing one-third of their disciples, with the majority staying behind to guard their homes.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect coughed and voiced his opinion, “What if the Flying Flow Sect had hidden a few men among other Sects in advance, only making their move when it was late at night and everyone was asleep? Perhaps their plan was to keep you unsuspecting by thinking you would never be suspected.”

“Are you deliberately opposing us?” The Leader of the Flying Flow Sect was extremely frustrated, and angry to the point of almost vomiting blood. After a round of reasoning, the Flying Flow Sect had already dismissed their doubts, but at this time, the Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect had to baptize them.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect spread his hands, stating that he was just mentioning a possibility. After all, it’s truly reckless to exclude the Flying Flow Sect from suspicion for being outside the camp. All Sect Leaders knew that each sect had spies in each other’s camps, albeit, they had always turned a blind eye.

If the Flying Flow Sect had activated a suicide squad specifically designed for this killing scheme, it was indeed possible. In any case, all the Six Great Sects were suspects, so they could not easily let the Flying Flow Sect off the hook. Otherwise, wouldn’t it increase the suspicion of the other Sects? Other Sects would rather watch the Flying Flow Sect be made fun of, or even throw all blame on them in the end.

There are a total of Six Great Sects, including the Heavenly Saint Sect as the victims, if one side’s Flying Flow Sect was also excluded, then there would be a murderer among the four Great Sects. And the domineering Heavenly Sword Sect was not one that any sect was willing to offend. The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect was nearing the end of his life. In his anger, would he impulsively decide to take you down with him?!

Among them, the Shingo Sect had to be set aside. Although they also wanted a share in the pursuit of this opportunity, they had already been marginalized by other Sects. Even their presence in this event was much less prominent than the bullied Flying Flow Sect.

In fact, in the eyes of other Sect Leaders, they had never doubted the Shingo Sect. After all, Celica Shingo even handed over his own son. Such a man was very cowardly. He was unworthy of the status of a Half-Step Saint Seat. How could he dare to order someone to kill?

The sect leader of Heavenly Sword sneered and was indifferent to the fury of Flying Flow Sect, “If it’s not, then have the ability to provide evidence to prove oneself, and a lot of people saw you elders asking around last night, this also needs a reasonable explanation.”
