The Sacred Mountain in the Lake

"Team Leader Xia, no new bodies have appeared in the past two days. In fact, among the thirteen bodies, nine appeared within the previous three days. It can be seen that the murderer has begun to control the number of killings." Tian Bofeng replied.

"That body has nothing to do with this case. He died of a sudden illness." Xia Tian pointed to the body he saw first, and then pointed to the female body in the middle. "That has nothing to do with this case either. It's an ordinary homicide, death by poisoning. Let's have it investigated separately."

"Poisoned?" Tian Bofeng was slightly stunned. "But, Team Leader Xia, the autopsy results did not say that she was poisoned. The cause of her death was a blunt object hitting her head."

"That was after they died. Someone knew about the murders and wanted to pin the blame on here." Xia Tian was a little impatient. "Why don't you ask the medical examiner to do another autopsy? I won't be wrong. Although two other people's heads were broken besides hers, only she was beaten with a stick. The other two were slapped to death, and their skulls were shattered. It's completely different from this."

"He smashed the skull with a slap?" Tian Bofeng showed a look of shock on his face. "But, Team Leader Xia, how is this possible? This is simply not something that ordinary people can do!"

"If I were an ordinary person, what would I be doing here?" Xia Tian said unhappily, "Do you believe that I can also smash your skull with one slap?"

Tian Bofeng suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. At this moment, he finally understood that this guy named Xia Tian was indeed not an ordinary person and was indeed not easy to deal with.

"Team Leader Xia, don't be angry. Team Leader Tian just doesn't understand how powerful you are." Hu Feifei quickly interrupted from the side, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Ever since she saw Ye Yumei, Hu Feifei basically gave up her plan to seduce Xia Tian. She finally understood why the elder told her that it was unlikely that Xia Tian would fall in love with her, because compared with Ye Yumei, she found that she was uglier than the ugly duckling. She also found that after seeing her, Xia Tian didn't care about her at all. There was no doubt that Xia Tian had no interest in her.

"If you don't understand, ask less." Xia Tian was in a bad mood. Although the cause of death of two people was normal, the cause of death of the other eleven people was not so normal. Seven of them were slapped to death. Two of their skulls were smashed, and the other five were hit in the chest. Not only were their sternums broken, but their internal organs were also completely shattered. This was definitely not something that an ordinary person could do. He was basically certain that the murderer was a cultivator. The only thing that was still uncertain was whether the other party was a cultivator from this world or a cultivator from the Xianyun Continent.

Except for the seven people who died by the palm, the other four people died by the sword. They were also killed by one sword, but the murder weapon was a very small sword that directly pierced the throat. Eleven people died by these two different methods. Xia Tian also found some remnants of true energy from the corpses. The remnants of true energy made him feel even worse, because he could determine that the murderer was two people, which meant that there were at least two immortal cultivators.

Before coming here, Fairy Sister once said that Ye Yumei must not be allowed to return to Xianyun Continent, because once Ye Yumei went back, Piaomiao Immortal Sect would definitely learn the whereabouts of Fairy Sister from Ye Yumei. At that time, Piaomiao Immortal Sect would definitely send people to look for her. Fairy Sister also told him that although he had good skills now, there were many people in Piaomiao Immortal Sect who were stronger than him. After all, many of those people had been practicing for hundreds or even thousands of years. In front of them, neither Fairy Sister nor he would have the slightest chance of winning.

At that time, Xia Tian decided that no matter what, Ye Yumei must not be allowed to return to Xianyun Continent. However, neither he nor the Fairy Sister believed that anyone from Piaomiao Immortal Gate would follow the Fairy Sister's footsteps and come to this world. After all, twenty years had passed and no one from Piaomiao Immortal Gate had appeared.

But now, when immortal cultivators happened to appear in Yuenan City, Xia Tian couldn't help but suspect that maybe it was really people from Piaomiao Immortal Sect who came. He knew very well that the threat posed by these people from Piaomiao Immortal Sect was far stronger than that of other people. Once they found the Fairy Sister, they would definitely want to take her away, and he could not allow this.

“No matter it is Piao Miao Immortal Sect or any other sect, I will kill anyone who wants to snatch my fairy sister away!” Xia Tian said secretly in his heart. He must find these two cultivators as soon as possible, and he must also find the passage that goes through the two worlds. He must destroy that passage and not let anyone come here again!

"Team Leader Xia, do you know who the murderer is?" Hu Feifei couldn't help but ask at this time.

"I don't know." Xia Tian answered straightforwardly. He really didn't know who it was.

After thinking for a while and looking at Tian Bofeng, Xia Tian continued to ask: "Do you know what the murderer looks like? Do you have any photos of them?"

"No." Tian Bofeng answered cautiously, "We still don't know what the murderer looks like, and we can't even be sure if it's a man or a woman."

"There are two murderers, probably a man and a woman. They should be dressed differently from us, more like ancient costumes. Ask someone to check. If you see such people, remember not to mess with them and tell me immediately." Xia Tian said quickly: "I have to go somewhere else. You should find someone quickly. Call me when you find them."

"Okay, Team Leader Xia." Hu Feifei nodded in agreement, and then took the initiative to ask, "Where are you going? Do you want us to lead the way for you?"

"Yes, I want to go to a place called Shenshan." Although Xia Tian had a map, he had never been here before. It would be slow for him to find it by himself. Now, he hoped to be faster, so naturally he needed someone to lead the way.

"Okay, Team Leader Xia, please wait a moment. I'll arrange it right away." Hu Feifei nodded, then took out her cell phone to make a call.

A few minutes later, Xia Tian and Ye Yumei left the police station. A police car was waiting for them at the door. Hu Feifei enthusiastically opened the door for them. After the two got in the car, Hu Feifei also got in and sat in the front passenger seat. It was obvious that she also wanted to accompany them in person. As for the driver, he was a policeman who was familiar with Shenshan and had just been found in the police station.

Shenshan is not a high mountain. In fact, Shenshan is an island, a small island located in the center of Yueluo Lake, the largest lake in Yuenan City. There are many large and small peaks on the island, and all these peaks are collectively called Shenshan.

The police station was actually quite far from the sacred mountain, and there was some traffic jam on the road, so it took Xia nearly an hour before she arrived at Moonfall Lake.

"Team Leader Xia, that's the sacred mountain, but we need to take a boat there now." After getting off the car, Hu Feifei pointed to the faintly visible island in the distance and said to Xia Tian.

After a pause, Hu Feifei couldn't help but add, "Two of the victims were killed after returning from a trip to Mount Kinabalu. Perhaps it's related to Mount Kinabalu."

"You don't have to take the boat, you can go back. Remember to inform me if you have any news. I have given you my phone number." Xia Tian glanced at the island from afar, suddenly jumped towards the Moonfall Lake, and walked quickly on the waves.

Hu Feifei was stunned. Was she, was she sure she saw it wrong?

The police officer who was driving was also dumbfounded. Is this still a human being?

And when Hu Feifei saw Ye Yumei also walking on the green waves, she finally realized that she was not mistaken. The policeman driving the car was also sure that these two were not human beings, but gods. No wonder they wanted to go to the sacred mountain!

The so-called sacred mountain is said to have dozens of peaks, big and small, but in fact, the highest peak is only a hundred meters high, which is not really a mountain. The highest peak of the sacred mountain is called Tianshen Peak, and at this moment, Xia Tian and Ye Yumei are standing on the top of Tianshen Peak.

The top of the peak is very flat, and there are even some artificial wooden benches placed here. This sacred mountain has been developed into a tourist attraction, and many tourists come here every day. And now, on the top of the peak, in addition to Xia Tian and Ye Yumei, there are four or five other tourists.

"This place doesn't look anything special!" Xia Tian said to himself. It looks like an ordinary mountain. If there is anything special about it, it is that it is a little shorter than other mountains. It doesn't look like a place that can travel through space!

However, before coming here, Xia Tian looked at the map given by the Fairy Sister many times, and the place where she first appeared was indeed here.

"Is this the place?" Ye Yumei couldn't help but ask at this time, and as soon as she spoke, the four or five tourists all looked at her. There was nothing they could do, because her voice was so cold and freezing, not only freezing, but also moving.

Xia Tian was too lazy to pay attention to her and continued to search the mountain carefully, almost covering the entire mountain with his footprints. Unfortunately, to his disappointment, he still found nothing and did not find anything special here.

Xia Tian spent the entire afternoon running on this so-called sacred mountain. At first, he only checked the Tianshen Peak, and then he began to check the surrounding small peaks. Finally, he checked all the so-called peaks and even every inch of land on this small island, but still found nothing. He could not find the passage that could cross the two worlds, and there was not even any trace that anyone had ever crossed here.

When Xia Tian returned to Tianshen Peak again, it was already night. Besides him, Ye Yumei was the only one left on the peak. The tourists had naturally left long ago.

"Hey, big bun, did you find anything?" Xia Tian glanced at Ye Yumei and couldn't help asking. Unlike him running around, Ye Yumei had always stopped at this mountain to check. This made Xia Tian wonder if this damn woman had found something? Otherwise, why would she keep looking here?
