Chapter 824

Looking at Qi Xiong, Wu Shou and the others before him, Mo Yun opened his mouth, his expression complex, and he didn't speak.

Seeing this, Qi Xiong and the others only then realized something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

「How is it, junior brother? What happened? It couldn't be that the patriarch has...... 」

「Senior Brother, the patriarch has no problem. 」

「Then that's good, that's good. 」

「But Shīzūn...... 」

Huh???

Hearing this, Qi Xiong, Wu Shou and the others were stunned, then furrowed their brows and said.

「What happened to Shīzūn? 」

Under the gaze of everyone, Mo Yun steeled himself and said.

「Um, Senior Brother, you need to stay calm. 」

「Speak. 」

「Shīzūn...... has gone. 」

「Gone? What does that mean? 」

Shīzūn was already gone, long gone; seeing that Qi Xiong and the others didn't understand his meaning, Mo Yun could only continue explaining.

「What we mean is, Shīzūn has disappeared. 」

「Disappeared? Just say it straight, what disappeared? 」

「It's just that the coffin is empty, with no one inside. 」

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiong and the others were completely stunned—no one in the coffin? How could that be?

Without a word, Qi Xiong strode over in two quick steps, immediately arriving before the Shīzūn's coffin, not bothering with anything else, silently apologizing to the Shīzūn in his heart, then he flung open the coffin.

Indeed, it was empty inside, only an old set of clothes and shoes.

「Where is the person? Where is the Shīzūn? 」

Soon after, a roar of anger like Mo Yun's echoed above the Dao Yi Shengdi.

His eyes widened, Qi Xiong stared in disbelief at the empty coffin, 'Damn it, where is the Shīzūn?'

He immediately turned his head, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Mo Yun and said.

「Mo Yun, where is the person? Where did you hide my great Shīzūn? 」

Qi Xiong only felt a huge buzz in his head, utterly absurd—such a big person, just said gone and gone?

Looking at Qi Xiong, whose eyes were about to burst, Mo Yun also wore a helpless expression and said.

「I don't know, Senior Brother; when I opened the coffin, I didn't see the Shīzūn, I.............. 」

「Thieves, there must be thieves at work—damn it, who exactly? Who dug up the ancestral grave of my Dao Yi Sect? I'll curse their ancestors. 」

Mo Yun would definitely not do such a thing, and no one in the Dao Yi Shengdi would do such a thing.

Surely someone sneaked into the Dao Yi Sect taking advantage of the situation and dug up their Shīzūn's grave.

Just thinking about their ancestral grave being dug up, Qi Xiong felt a surge of anger rising uncontrollably.

As for Wu Shou and the others beside him, their heads were buzzing as well.

The ancestral grave was dug up? Damn it, who exactly did it?

This is simply a tremendous disgrace.

A terrifying aura shot up into the sky, quickly drawing many shengdi disciples to gather, along with many Elders.

Finally, even Yu Mo and the others, as well as the Yun Luo Shèngzhǔ and the Yao Chi Shèngzhǔ, were startled.

After all, Qi Xiong's anger was so great, obviously not a trivial matter.

Many disciples gathered in the distance; the later arrivals looked at the furious Qi Xiong, each puzzled and said.

「Senior Brother, what's wrong with the Sect Master? Why is he so angry? 」

「It seems our Dao Yi Shengdi's ancestral grave has been dug up. 」

「Huh??? 」

Hearing this, the later disciples were all stunned—'You're joking, how could the ancestral grave possibly be dug up?'

However, as the senior brothers explained, everyone gradually realized that the patriarch's corpse was missing.

This left the disciples looking at each other—'Damn it, our ancestral grave is gone? Even the founding ancestor is gone?'

Even Yu Mo and the three who arrived, seeing the empty coffin, all had grim expressions.

「Is the Shī xiōng gone? 」

「Who? Who the hell did it? 」

Yu Mo and the three glared at Qi Xiong and the others, their eyes wide.

「Qi Xiong, how did you become the Shèngzhǔ? Where is my Shī xiōng? 」

「I............. 」

Faced with the questioning of Yu Mo and the three, Qi Xiong opened his mouth, for a moment not knowing what to say.

Besides, the Yun Luo Shèngzhǔ and Yao Chi Shèngzhǔ at the side also had strange expressions at this time.

The ancestral grave being dug up is truly a tremendous disgrace, something even ordinary sects cannot tolerate.

What's more, this is the Dao Yi Shengdi that has just been promoted to a shengdi.

What should have been a joyous occasion, but turning around, our ancestral grave is gone—this..................

For a moment, the Yun Luo Shèngzhǔ and Yao Chi Shèngzhǔ also wisely retreated a distance, after all, such a matter, they naturally could not ask further.

Family disgrace should not be aired publicly; at this time, it's best to just stand aside honestly.

Yu Mo and the three had bloodshot eyes, they harshly scolded Qi Xiong, then gritted their teeth and said.

You little brat, think carefully—back then, didn't you fail to put Shī xiōng in? Where did you forget Shī xiōng?

When Shī xiōng's grand funeral took place, the entire process was handled solely by Qi Xiong and these disciples; Yu Mo and the two others merely showed up at the burial.

At that time the coffin had already been nailed shut, so the three naturally didn't see Shī xiōng inside.

All along, the Dao Yi Sect has noticed nothing amiss; logically, it should be impossible for anyone to dig up their own ancestral grave.

But now the facts are right before everyone's eyes, and no one can refute them.

Facing the questioning of Yu Mo and the two others, Qi Xiong spoke with an innocent expression.

"Back then I personally placed Shīzūn into the coffin; how could I possibly have forgotten?"

Shīzūn was personally placed into the coffin by Qi Xiong; there's absolutely no chance of mistake.

Besides, even if he's a mess, as the Shèngzhǔ he couldn't possibly lose such a great Shīzūn; that's absolutely impossible.

Qi Xiong repeatedly assured, even swearing an oath to heaven; seeing this, Yu Mo and the two others gritted their teeth and said.

"There must be a thief; it must be a thief causing trouble. Investigate—I must find out who dug up the ancestral grave of my Dao Yi Shengdi; this emperor will make him wish he were dead."

Saying this, Yu Mo directly looked at Wu Shou, gritted his teeth and said.

"Xiao Shouzi, you personally lead people on a trip to Dongzhou; you must find out who dug up the ancestral grave of my Dao Yi Shengdi."

This time, Yu Mo directly entrusted the matter to Wu Shou.

Among the Peak Masters and Elders of the Dao Yi Shengdi, Wu Shou is the most steady and meticulous; entrusting it to him puts Yu Mo at ease.

And Wu Shou also knew the matter was of great importance, so this time he didn't refuse but nodded in agreement.

The ancestral grave has been dug up; the entire Dao Yi Shengdi is furious, after all this is not just the face of the Dao Yi Shengdi.

It's also a disrespect to the ancestors.

As a junior disciple, failing to protect the ancestors' corpses—what the hell are we even doing?

Even if we have now ascended to become a holy land, if we don't get to the bottom of this dug-up grave, it will undoubtedly become an indelible stain on the entire Dao Yi Shengdi.

All disciples, elders, and peak masters of the Dao Yi Shengdi have decided: once we find out who this person is, we will definitely have him sliced to pieces.

You damn grave‑robber, you're seriously lacking in virtue.

Wu Shou set off that very day with a group heading for Dongzhou; as for the coffins of the patriarch and other seniors, they are temporarily placed in a specially built shrine, awaiting an auspicious day for reburial.
