Chapter 1884 - 689: Far Too Fragile

Di Wu Jing questioned suspiciously, but the First Shock behind the curtain remained silent.

Di Wu Jing’s expression changed several times, ultimately gritting his teeth:

"Could it be... that the traitor within the Jinglong Association is actually you??"

"Old fifth, don’t speak nonsense!"

The Second Jing, regardless of the cough, hurriedly said:

"How could the First Shock be a traitor?"

If the Longmen First Jing of the Jinglong Association were a traitor, wouldn’t this Jinglong Association have long become someone else’s possession?

Di Wu Jing’s words were truly shocking.

"But if it’s not him... then who could it be?"

Di Wu Jing took a deep breath, the severe poison in his body was not fatal.

Any fatal poison, no matter how claimed to be colorless and tasteless, would inevitably be detected.

To poison these Longmen Jing Emperor naturally cannot reveal the slightest flaw.

This poison mainly targets the inner breath.

Preventing one from recklessly using inner strength.

Otherwise, the poison would inevitably erupt.

Di Wu Jing had a confrontation with Qu Zhongzhi, his inner strength circulating to the extreme within his body.

Only then did the toxicity get stirred up.

At this moment, barely suppressing the severe poison, every movement of the inner breath felt like a knife slicing through the meridians.

He gazed at the curtain, gritting his teeth:

"I have long known there’s someone with ulterior motives within the Jinglong Association.

"Scheming in the shadows, wanting to subvert our association!

"The incident of Qu Zhongzhi inexplicably disappearing from the dungeon was already the first clue.

"Could it be so easy to escape the dungeon of our Jinglong Association?

"What kind of divine skills does the person who took him from this dungeon possess?

"I’m afraid... even I couldn’t do such a thing, right?"

These words made the Second Jing also furrow his brow tightly.

At that time, he knew Qu Zhongzhi escaped from the dungeon.

Yet the First Shock’s reaction was indifferent.

At that time, the Second Jing couldn’t possibly think that this matter was related to the First Shock.

Therefore, he didn’t think much of it.

Now, with this reminder from Di Wu Jing, he suddenly felt that it was indeed extremely strange.

"Although Qu Zhongzhi is the Longmen eleventh Jing, everyone knows how his martial arts stand.

"In just a few short days, he has reached such a state.

"Who is capable of such a great feat to assist him to this point?"

Di Wu Jing’s words continued:

"If it were just this, I wouldn’t suspect the First Shock.

"But... today’s poison was placed in our tea cups.

"And this tea was gifted by the First Shock.

"Whoever poisoned, there is no doubt anymore.

"Once these events are linked together,

"The identity of the traitor within the Jinglong Association becomes crystal clear!

"First Shock, will you not give us an explanation?"

As he spoke to this point, he paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice:

"Old third... did he really die of natural causes???"

Upon hearing this, the Second Jing’s face turned pale, and he abruptly looked up at the silhouette behind the curtain:

"First Shock... what is going on here?"

Only then did the shadow behind the curtain show some ripples.

But before opening his mouth to speak.

Suddenly, there was the sound of fierce footsteps outside the door.

Stumbling figures quickly appeared in the main hall of Hualong Hall.

It was all disciples of the Jinglong Association who came.

Their faces were heavy, even horrified.

Besides fear, their eyes held more confusion:

"It’s bad... everyone has gone mad!!"

The Second Jing abruptly turned around.

Entering Hualong Hall without notice is practically breaking the rules.

However, knowing it must be an unusual situation, none of the disciples would act so recklessly otherwise.

He immediately asked in a deep voice:

"What happened?"

"Reporting to the Second Jing, everything was normal today, but just now, a disciple suddenly went berserk and started killing.

"And those who were killed did not die.

"Instead, they got up and joined in, catching many off guard, who all fell victim to the plot.

"Now more and more people have joined, creating a sweeping force, heading towards Hualong Hall.

"The disciples were fighting and retreating, finally making it here in desperation.

"We ask the Jing Emperor to make a decision!!"

The leader of the group quickly reported the matter truthfully.

Yet what he reported was beyond everyone’s imagination.

Gone mad, fighting each other, the dead not dying, instead joining the attackers?

Does that make any sense?

However, what played out in Hualong Hall today hardly makes any sense either.

The renowned Jinglong Association making such a scene leaves one speechless.

In the past, it was only known that the Jinglong Association had foreign threats, but who knew there were also internal troubles now.

Faced with internal strife and external threats, with his thoughts swiftly turning, he immediately waved his hand:

"Ring the Jinglong Bell!!"

"How many rings?"

The disciples below felt a sinking heart and asked.

The Second Jing instinctively glanced at the curtain; seeing the First Shock remained silent, he sighed:

"Nine rings!"

Nine rings of the bell, life and death crisis!

The few disciples exchanged glances, not daring to delay, and immediately flew away.

The Jinglong Bell was just beside Hualong Hall.

Moments after they left, the melodious bell rang within the Jinglong Association, encompassing the entire deep in the clouds.

In an instant, disciples everywhere in the clouds, no matter what they were currently doing, whether in seclusion cultivating or buried in reading, all looked toward the direction of Hualong Hall.

When these nine sounds entirely reached their ears, everyone’s complexion changed drastically.

Nine rings of the bell!

This, in itself, was a concept.

Ever since the deep in the clouds existed.

The Jinglong Bell served as a warning.

If foreign enemies invaded, a single bell would raise the disciples’ vigilance.
