”Daliang… massacre a country…”
After a slight daze, Xu Taiping finally reacted and immediately asked the Sparrow with a somewhat excited expression to confirm：
”Brother Sparrow, is the Daliang country you mentioned the Daliang country where my hometown, Green Ox Village, is located？”
Although there was no one he cared about in Green Ox Village anymore, it was ultimately the place where he was born and raised and the graves of his parents and grandfather were there.
The Sparrow didn’t answer directly but took out his spiritual mirror and gently pushed it in front of Xu Taiping, saying：
”See for yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately lowered his head and looked at the spiritual mirror.
Only in the spiritual mirror clusters of fierce flames descended from the sky and landed on a small mountain village surrounded by mountains and forests.
In the blink of an eye, this originally quiet, peaceful, and peaceful small mountain village was turned into a sea of fire.
For a time, there were cries of misery in the sea of fire.
A village woman fled from the sea of fire with a child in her arms and plunged into the pond in the center of the village. But even though she jumped into the water, the flames on her body still did not go out.
As more and more villagers covered in flames jumped into the pond, instead, the water in the pond was burned dry.
And when the water in the pond was burned dry, a green ox stone statue that had been sunk at the bottom of the pond gradually emerged.
Seeing this green ox stone statue, Xu Taiping, who had originally still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, felt a sinking feeling in his heart and muttered in a somewhat heavy tone：
“This is indeed our Green Ox Village…”
This green ox stone statue was the origin of the name of their Green Ox Village.
Every time during the dry season when the pond released water to irrigate the farmland, this green ox stone statue would emerge from the bottom of the water, and the villagers would come forward to offer incense to it, asking it to bless them with a good harvest this year.
So when Xu Taiping saw this green ox stone statue, he was so certain that this was Green Ox Village.
“Boom…”
At this time, with a loud noise coming from the spiritual mirror, the green ox stone statue finally burst open under the burning of the true fire.
And when this green ox stone statue was burned to ashes by the true fire, the entire Green Ox Village was almost burned to ashes, and even the mountains and forests in the west perimeter had become bare.
Looking down from a high altitude, this area is like a desperate situation, as if no living thing has ever existed here.
“Brother Yellow Finch, have all the murderers been found？”
After lowering his head and remaining silent for a long time, Xu Taiping put his crossed on the table and looked up at Yellow Finch.
At this moment, Xu Taiping’s eyes were full of murderous intent.
Although calculated by the time of one year in the mountains and three years in the mundane world, he has been away from Qingniu Village for more than seventy years, but Qingniu Village is still his nurturing place after all.
Although the second uncle’s family was unfeeling and unjust when he was young, they finally gave him a meal, and many of the neighbors and uncles in the village had also helped him and his grandfather.
So seeing this scene today, how could he be calm？
“Of these thirteen cultivators, the identities of ten have been confirmed, and only the identities of three cannot be determined. It is only vaguely inferred from several magic weapons that the three come from Wangyou Valley in Jueding Heaven, but there is no solid evidence.”
Yellow Finch frowned and said.
After trying hard to calm his mind, Xu Taiping first nodded expressionlessly, and then frowned and asked Yellow Finch in Confused ： “Eight or nine out of ten of the common people in the territory of the Great Liang Kingdom are ordinary bones. Why did this group of people want to kill a group of ordinary bones？”
When saying this, Xu Taiping pushed the spiritual mirror back in front of Yellow Finch.
Yellow Finch put away the spiritual mirror, thought about it carefully, and then said：
“Judging from the scenes recorded in the Moon Shadow Stone, they should be looking for a certain treasure, but at present we haven’t caught any alive, so we can’t confirm it.”
Because the incident happened suddenly and the preparations of those thirteen cultivators were very thorough, the information currently holds by the Nine Mansions is not much.
“Looking for treasures in the secular world？”
The more Xu Taiping listened, the more he felt it was unbelievable.
“That’s right. There are strange signs everywhere at this time, so our Nine Mansions intends to invite several elders who are proficient in the way of divination and deduction to come out and conduct a thorough investigation.”
Huang Que nodded and said.
“So Brother Huang Que, you want me to help catch those thirteen arson cultivators？”
Xu Taiping roughly guessed the intention of Huang Que’s visit today.
“No.” Huang Que shook his head. “Among the thirteen people, ten of them with known identities, and those who haven’t escaped from True Martial Heaven, the Mansion Lord has invited cultivators from all over True Martial Heaven to jointly arrest them.”
“Those who have escaped from True Martial Heaven, the Nine Mansions have respectively informed the Absolute Nether Mansion, the Nether Cloud Mansion, and the Riding Dragon Mansion to arrest them on their behalf.”
“This time, because it involves the secular place, after learning about this matter, “all the mansions have” means their willingness to go all out to send people to arrest them.
“The current Nether Cloud Great Emperor of Nether Cloud Heaven, after learning the news, even personally took action and killed one of them.”
“With the cooperation of all the mansions, it’s only a matter of time before these ten people are brought to justice.”
“Only the three people related to the Valley of Oblivion, our nine palaces have no clue for the time being.”
When saying this, the Yellow Sparrow paused for a moment, and then looked at Xu Taiping solemnly and continued： “So I want to ask Taiping you to help investigate the identities and criminal evidence of these three people.”
“Is there any clue？” Xu Taiping asked immediately.
Although he really wanted to contribute, but without any clue, he didn’t dare to agree rashly.
“At present, it is only known that these three people once in the imperial palace of Daliang. They are not only killed current king of Daliang, tortured several princesses, and finally set fire to kill all the tens of thousands of people in the palace.”
As the Yellow Sparrow spoke, he handed a piece of Moon Shadow Stone to Xu Taiping.
Obviously, the scene recorded in this Moon Shadow Stone is the scene of the killing of the king of Daliang and the burning of the imperial city.
