The explorers were stunned.
Yu Huang even heard the photographer’s heavy breathing.
Clearly, even the photographer was mesmerized by the magical and magnificent scene in front of him.
“What is that?!” Suddenly, an explorer cried out in shock.
The camera moved to the explorer and then to the direction he was pointing at. The camera was aimed at the towering ice pillar. When he found that the scene taken from a distance wasn’t clear, the photographer quickly adjusted the camera and saw the situation inside the ice pillar more clearly.
Thus, Yu Huang saw a patch of blue appear in the middle of the ice pillar. If one looked carefully, they would realize that the blue patch was actually clothes.
“Is it a person?” The photographer was the first to question.
The other explorers also said in disbelief, “How is that possible?!”
“That’s impossible! How can there be someone in the ice pillar?”
The photographer’s hands were trembling. He adjusted the camera again. This time, the image in the ice pillar was even clearer.
There was a woman in a blue dress hidden in the middle of the ice pillar!
It was a Snake Clan woman. Her long tail, which was similar in color to the ice pillar, was completely sealed by the ice pillar.
“Heavens!” Several shocked cries sounded in succession in the video. “There’s actually a Snake Clan woman sealed in that ice pillar!”
The video stopped here.
Yu Huang stared at the video in a daze. When she looked up again, she realized that Sheng Xiao, Yin Rong, and the others had gathered beside her and were looking down at her phone screen.
Yu Huang placed her phone on the table and turned to Sheng Xiao. “The video is real. There are no signs of photoshop.”
Sheng Xiao nodded solemnly.
Yu Huang turned on her phone again and opened the comments section.
Things about the cultivation world rarely appeared on Weibo, let alone such a strange matter. This matter concerned the mysterious death of the Prime Master, so all the netizens were in an uproar. Everyone left comments in the comments section to express their opinions.
Some Beast Tamers called ‘insiders’ even revealed a lot of internal information in the comments section.
One of the most liked comments was revealed by a netizen called ‘Don’t ask me who I am’.
Don’t ask me who I am: “Don’t guess anymore. The person who was frozen was indeed a Beast Tamer, and she was even the number one beauty of the Snake Clan four hundred years ago, Bai Zhenzhen. Before Bai Zhenzhen disappeared, she was already a Prime Master. To be honest, when they found out that the Beast Tamer in the ice pillar was Senior Bai Zhenzhen, everyone in the Beast Tamer world was very shocked. After the Snake Clan found out about this, there was a commotion. Currently, the alliance headquarters is sending people to the Blue Lake Glacier to investigate this matter. As for who the murderer who sealed Bai Zhenzhen in the ice pillar is, without sufficient evidence, I don’t dare to spout nonsense. However, as long as the people in the Beast Tamer world pay more attention to the recent changes in the alliance headquarters and see which big shot was interrogated, they will know who the suspect is.”
This person’s account had been registered for three years, but he rarely commented, and there wasn’t a single post. Yu Huang couldn’t guess his identity.
Weibo wasn’t like the Beast Tamer Alliance’s website. The certification conditions were not that harsh.
If a Beast Tamer wanted to gain access to the Beast Tamer Alliance, they could only do so when they were applying for the Beast Tamer Badge. The staff of the Beast Tamer Alliance would help them open the certification, and private personnel were unable to do so. Therefore, those who didn’t dare to spout nonsense on the Beast Tamer Alliance’s website came to Weibo with their alternate accounts.
After seeing the comment of ‘don’t ask me who I am’, the civilians outside the circle replied to the comments and asked about the suspect’s identity. Many civilians started to imagine and guess.
Civilians were not Beast Tamers. There was a ‘wall’ between them and the cultivation world. They could speak freely on Weibo without worrying that they would be discovered by the Beast Tamer Alliance. Therefore, they dared to say whatever they wanted.
A user left a message: “After Saint Su Xuanye, another big shot in the cultivation world is about to be exposed. No one is above the law. I look forward to the day when that demon is punished.”
Second floor: “A person who can seal a Prime Master is at least at the Prime Master Realm. I just don’t know if the murderer has already died or is still alive. If he’s still alive, it’s not difficult to find the identity of the suspect. After all, there are very few Beast Tamers on our continent who have reached the Prime Master Realm.”
Third post: “Does everyone still remember what happened to Prime Master Dongfang Sile in the Blazing Realm Continent a few days ago? I have a feeling that Senior Bai Zhenzhen’s death is related to Dongfang Sile’s death. I seriously suspect that the murderer is the same person. I heard from a friend that the places where Senior Bai Zhenzhen and Senior Dongfang Si Le’s remains are hidden have been set up with a Spirit Plundering Formation. It is said that this Spirit Plundering Formation is a very cruel cultivation technique that steals other people’s spiritual power.”
Fourth post: “OP, the suspect you’re talking about is DGS?”
Fifth post: “DGS? MX? Don’t scare me!”
Sixth post: “MX? There are only a few Beast Tamers on the continent who have broken through to the Prime Master Realm. There’s only one big shot called MX. May I make a guess? Could it be… DGS from the Divine Moon Empire?”
Everyone could tell who DGS and MX referred to at a glance.
In the beginning, the netizens were only guessing and didn’t dare to name names. However, as more netizens participated in the discussion, everyone’s fear faded. When it reached more than 200 comments, they mentioned the Grand State Master directly.
This time, everyone began to suspect Mo Xiao.
Yu Huang’s expression was solemn. She said, “This so-called insider is deliberately spreading news to tarnish the Grand State Master’s reputation.”
That person was very smart. He first used Dongfang Sile’s death to ruin the Grand State Master in the cultivation world. After the people of the cultivation world became suspicious of the Grand State Master, he used Bai Zhenzhen’s death to ruin Mo Xiao’s reputation in the entire continent.
Rumors were terrifying. Even if Mo Xiao wasn’t the murderer, when most people thought that Mo Xiao was guilty, Mo Xiao would really seem guilty.
Yu Huang recalled that the Grand State Master had said that this was his tribulation. Since it was a tribulation, it was unavoidable.
It could be seen that this matter wasn’t over yet.
At that moment, the word ‘Mentor’ appeared on Yu Huang’s phone screen. Seeing that Yu Huang was distracted and didn’t notice that her phone was ringing, Sheng Xiao reminded her, “Your mentor is calling you.”
Yin Rong and Xiao Shu retreated.
Yu Huang came back to her senses and hurriedly picked up the phone. “Mentor.”
Lin Jiansheng said, “Ah Huang, prepare to go out with me.”
Yu Huang’s heart skipped a beat. She asked Lin Jiansheng, “Are we going to the Blue Lake?”
Lin Jiansheng acknowledged and hung up.
Yu Huang quickly got up and brought the dishes back to the sink. Sheng Xiao followed her and said, “Mentor asked you to go to Blue Lake with him?”
“Yes.”
Yu Huang felt uneasy. She walked to the sink with Sheng Xiao to wash her hands. Cold water flowed between her fingers. She couldn’t catch the water or the ghost hiding in the dark.
“Brother Xiao.” Yu Huang lowered her head and looked at her slender fingers. She said, “Why did they pretend not to see such an obvious trap?”
Sheng Xiao placed his hand on Yu Huang’s head and squeezed it gently. He said mockingly, “Because being powerful is admirable and scary.” When all the evidence pointed to Mo Xiao, the people would waver.
Lin Jiansheng called Yu Huang again. Yu Huang waved her hand and picked up the phone. She quickly hung up. “My mentor is urging me to leave. I’ll go first.”
“Okay.”
