Chapter 1786 Tower Master's Assassination

News of the break-in at the Array Tower quickly spread throughout the city, shocking everyone. Yet, it almost became nonexistent a few hours later when the incident at the Alchemy Tower began spreading a few hours later.

After spending several hours working on the level 7 formation, Tower Master Gao and his Array Masters finally deactivated it, allowing them to open the door.

However, when they finally managed to open the door and step inside, their expressions froze in shock at the gruesome scene before them. Moments later, the shock gave way to disgust as they began to grasp the horrifying reality of what had transpired in the room. The air grew heavy with a tense silence as they processed the grim sight.

A crimson cauldron, nearly overflowing with blood, stood at the center of the room. Above it, lifeless corpses hung grotesquely, their presence casting long, morbid shadows. The unmistakable signs of evil practices were laid bare for all to see, leaving no doubt about the sinister activities that had taken place there. The room reeked of death and malice, making it impossible for anyone present to deny the truth.

"Tower Master Liao, what is the meaning of this?" Tower Master Gao turned to look at Liao Tian with a grim expression on his face.

Liao Tian frowned and said, "What are you trying to say?"

"Are you telling me that you were not aware of this? Is this not why you urgently wanted us to access his room?"

"Are you insane? How could I have possibly known about this? I came to you for help because I sensed something was amiss." Liao Tian sneered, denying all allegations.

"Also, are you trying to say that I had killed him? Why would I bring so many witnesses with me if that was the case?"

"No, I don't think you killed him. However, I think you knew of the Alchemy Tower's forbidden practices. There's even a good chance you were working together. After all, it's public knowledge that you use human remains to craft treasures."

"Spare me the allegations. While I work with human remains, they were all donations."

"What of those you personally killed? You think I don't know about that?"

"They all made mistakes deserving of death. It's as simple as that," Liao Tian said, not denying it.

"Anyway, why don't we stop this pointless talk and figure out who killed Tower Master Ma?"

Tower Master Gao sneered, looked at his Array Masters, and said, "Go contact the other Tower Master and let them know of the situation here."

"Yes, Tower Master."

Soon, news of Tower Master Ma's assassination spread like wildfire throughout the Alchemy Tower, leaving everyone in shock and disbelief. However, the revelation of the tower's forbidden practices was deliberately kept under wraps for the time being. The matter was deemed too sensitive and required further investigation before being exposed, as its implications could have far-reaching consequences for the tower, which could affect not just the Seventh Heaven but the Nine Heavens as a whole.

"Although Tower Master Ma was stabbed in the heart, what truly caused his death was poison—an extremely deadly one that surpasses my knowledge," revealed the alchemist who examined his body.

"Even if his guard was down, it shouldn't be easy to kill Tower Master Ma. Yet, all evidence shows that he was killed effortlessly," said Liao Tian.

"This seemingly flawless assassination… reminds me of a certain individual," said Meng Xuan.

The entire floor suddenly turned dead silent.

"Y-you mean the Phantom Assassin? The Grim Reaper? Why would he kill—" Tower Master Gao halted his sentence midway.

There was no doubt that Tower Master Ma was killed for his crimes.

Liao Tian looked at them and suddenly smiled, "That's right. In fact, he joined the Martial Tower and Cultivation Tower recently." _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}
