C138

He had only heard rumours about that pending case. Now that he had seen all of the disciples of the Witch Cloud Sword Sect, including the Sect Leader, buried in this cave, he knew that the Witch Cloud Sword Sect had been annihilated.

There must be some big secret behind this. What kind of organization could destroy a sect with more than three hundred members in one night? Was it a grudge between the martial arts world? Or was it a struggle between sects?

However, what confused Meng Xiaodie was that since the Wu Yun Sword Sect had been exterminated without any survivors, then who was the one who buried him here?

Meng Xiaodie looked at the walls of the cave again and found that one of the walls was very messy, as if it was filled with broken stones. This should have been a cave entrance, but it was sealed with stone. From the arrangement of the cave, it was possible that this was originally the burial ground of the Wu Yun Sword Sect. Their Sect Leader or disciple had passed away, and might be buried here, but never in their wildest dreams would they imagine that the entire sect's disciples would be buried here.

He wanted to find some clues from this huge tomb. He wanted to find out the truth, find out the mastermind and the culprit behind this event, and make this tragedy public. He also wanted to use the Wu Yun Sword Sect's justice to deal with these wrongdoings and deaths.

If there was a corpse inside the coffin, perhaps she could find some traces of it from its wounds. Meng Xiaodie even suspected that the coffins were all empty. This situation was not impossible. In order to confirm his guess, he started with the Sect Leader's coffin and pushed it open. To his surprise, there really was a corpse inside the coffin. The corpse was preserved very well, either because it had been embalmed in front of the coffin, or because the cave itself had an embalming function.

The corpse wore a white robe, and looked very similar to the white robed ghost he saw in the waterway just now. The corpse's face was covered with a white cloth, and when he lifted the white cloth, he was stunned for a moment. Under the white cloth, there was no face of the "me without the East", and it was covered with a thin layer of scalp.

Meng Xiaodie had seen a lot of terrifying corpses, but this was the first time she saw such a destructive face. It was obvious that Dongfang Wuyi's face was broken by something. Not only did it kill him in one move, it also destroyed his brain and damaged his nervous system. This method was too cruel.

Who was it that used such a cruel method to destroy not only the Wu Yun Sword Sect, but their faces as well? This kind of cruelty was absolutely outrageous. Meng Xiaodie checked the corpse again. It was still intact, it seemed like the fatal strike was on the face. This palm could easily destroy a person's brain and cause them to die in the blink of an eye.

Meng Xiaodie opened the second coffin, which was placed right below Dong Fudan. It was the second strongest person in the Wu Yun Sword Sect, possibly the vice sect leader. The corpse was also wearing a white robe, and there was a white cloth covering it. Meng Xiaodie checked other parts of the body, but there were no injuries either.

He opened them one by one and closed them again and again. This continued for several hours, and he only opened them one by one because he did not want to leave out any suspicious areas. The corpses' faces were all covered with white cloth and their bodies were completely intact, so he did not find any new clues.

There was only one coffin left, and it seemed to be placed in a special location. The color of the coffin was different from the other coffins, and the color of the other coffins was too fresh.

He gently pushed it away. The corpse inside the coffin was also wearing a white robe, and there was a white cloth covering its face, but Meng Xiaodie could immediately see that the face under the white cloth was bulging out. Unlike those faceless corpses, the white cloth was very flat. He gently lifted it up. Sure enough, there was a perfectly fine face under the white cloth. It was still young, just over twenty years old. Meng Xiaodie checked other places and found that one of the bones in the corpse's legs had been broken. From his attire, he should be a disciple of the Wu Yun Sword Sect, but why did he manage to escape this calamity?

Aside from the two main hands, the Wu Yun Sword Sect also had four other protectors. There were a total of three generations of disciples and three hundred and fifty-four of them. According to the ranking, this coffin was placed last. At that time, for some unknown reason, this last disciple did not meet with a calamity. Meng Xiaodie thought that perhaps this disciple was not present at the scene at that time, and had hidden away during the massacre. In short, this young man was not disfigured, had not had his brain damaged, and might even not have died at that time, but had only suffered some minor injuries.

So why was he buried in this grave? Meng Xiaodie carefully examined the inner wall of the coffin to see if she could find anything. The coffin was very clean, with only a corpse and not even a single ornament.

On the corpse's right hand, Meng Xiaodie saw a few words. She didn't know what they were written on, but the words were a bit blurry. Meng Xiaodie carefully inspected it and finally recognized it. On the wooden board were written the words "Red Robed, Soul Stealing Palm".

This was a major discovery, and Meng Xiaodie was overjoyed. This could have been written on it by the person in the coffin when he was about to die. These two words could very well be the key to this tragic case.

Red Robe, Soul Stealing Palm. Meng Xiaodie mumbled to herself. The reason the person in the coffin wrote these words was to let people know who was responsible for this tragedy. It should be a person wearing a red robe and he used the Soul Stealing Palm. Yes, it should be so.

However, there were too many people wearing red robes, and this alone made it difficult to find the culprit. However, the Soul Eating Palm was different. There were probably not many people in this world who could use it. The Soul Absorbing Palm was an extremely insidious palm technique. The practitioner of the palm technique required an extremely strong inner force skill and needed to find a hundred living bodies to cultivate it. Once the palm technique was mastered, it could take one's soul and instantly destroy one's face. It seemed that the Sect Leader and the disciples of the Witch Cloud Sword Sect were all killed by the Soul Eating Palm. In all her years in the martial world, Meng Xiaodie had never met anyone who truly used the Soul Eating Palm, nor had she seen anyone who was killed by the Soul Eating Palm. This kind of martial art was too mysterious, too insidious, and it was very difficult to cultivate.
