Beyond the Sky Above Chapter 45

After Luzhou was sealed off, many monks were forced to stay there, which caused them great dissatisfaction. However, Sima Liang's position was extremely important to the Nanju Kingdom, so they did not hesitate to offend the monks and build a barrier to prevent the murderer from escaping.

There were many arrogant monks who attended the treasure appraisal conference. They also tried to break through the barrier. However, the barrier was built by the combined strength of all the monks in Yongning Marquis' Mansion. It was difficult to break through with one person alone. Secondly, Yongning Marquis' Mansion treated the monks who attended the conference with good words and entertained them with good food and drink. They said that they were only trying to find the murderer and had no intention of targeting other monks. Thirdly, the governor of Luzhou said that the city would only be sealed for three days. After three days, the monks sent by the court would come and find out the truth, and then the ban would be lifted.

During these three days, people were only allowed to go in but not out. Even without counting the influx of food from other places, the city's grain reserves were enough, and the people's lives would not be inconvenienced. However, the spread of rumors in the streets was inevitable.

Some said that Marquis Yongning was killed by his own Concub!ne, some said that the person who killed Marquis Yongning was a Nascent Soul cultivator who wanted to seize his cultivation, and some said that Marquis Yongning had too many treasures in his family and he monopolized the city of Luzhou, which violated the taboo of King Nanju. The king sent people to kill him secretly, and then pretended to find the murderer in order to cover up his tracks.

The rumors were spreading, making the truth even more confusing. Little did people know that the murderer was walking openly on the street, wearing a white gauze dress, tall and slender, with a white gauze hat on her head that completely covered her face. She looked like a female cultivator who didn't want to expose her appearance, and attracted the attention of many male cultivators. If it weren't for Zhou Yin who was standing next to her, they would have approached her and started a conversation with her immediately.
