When she heard him mention the Space-purging Ancestor’s death, the Flying Leaf Ancestor was overcome with deep sorrow. “Just recently, the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master went missing for no reason. We suspected that an extremely powerful and mysterious expert killed them, which was why our Energy-devouring Furnace and Heaven-locking Chains ended up in the hands of others. Now, in order to retrieve these two high quality god artifacts, senior brother Space-purging has met a terrible end soon after leaving the sect. Senior brother Transcension, do you think senior brother Space-purging was killed by the mysterious expert?”
The Transcension Ancestor’s eyes flickered with uncertainty. He did not say anything.
“However, there is something that perplexes me. What grievances does that mysterious expert have with our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment? Why were they so vicious against senior brother Space-purging. If it’s just for the sake of two high quality god artifacts, that would be completely unnecessary. At most, we’ll just give up on the Energy-devouring Furnace and the Heaven-locking Chains. The two high quality god artifacts may be precious, but they are not comparable to senior brother Space-purging,” the Flying Leaf Ancestor said sadly.
“Junior sister Flying Leaf, tell me about the situation over these in detail,” said the Transcension Ancestor.
Afterwards, the Flying Leaf Ancestor told him everything that she saw.The Transcension Ancestor sank into his thoughts. After quite a while, he slowly said, “According to what you’ve said, it should be a treasure of startling power or a supreme formation at an extremely high level.”
“That’s because if the enemy was a powerful Immortal Exalt, why would they lie in hiding? Junior brother Space-purging grasps the Laws of Space. Fleeing is his specialty, yet in the end, he could not even escape and was slain so quickly. Even the greatest expert of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, the Warring Old Freak, probably can’t accomplish such a feat.”
“Senior brother Transcension, what do we do now?” the Flying Leaf Ancestor asked.
“Although I suspect that the mysterious expert who killed junior brother Space-purging is the same mysterious figure that saved the Immortal Rising City, I’m not on the Hall Brilliance Heaven currently, so we can only set aside junior brother Space-purging’s death for now,” said the Transcension Ancestor.
“Don’t tell me we’re not going to be avenging him?” The Flying Leaf Ancestor refused to accept that.
“Of course, we’ll avenge him. We’ll talk about this once I finish forging the primary banner of the Fiend Soul Banners. Hasn’t the Warring Old Freak gathered a bunch of people and is currently searching across the entire Hall Brilliance Heaven for clues regarding the Fiend Soul Banner? We can shift all the attention over to the mysterious figure and say that he is the greatest suspect. The Warring Old Freak will definitely get to the bottom of this person’s identity, and we’ll be able to learn their identity through this. I’d like to see exactly who they are,” the Transcension Ancestor said frigidly.
“Leave this to me, senior brother Transcension.” Coldness flashed through the Flying Leaf Ancestor’s eyes. Her suspicions that the mysterious expert who killed the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master was actually the murderer of the Space-purging Ancestor grew deeper.After the Flying Leaf Ancestor left, the Transcension Ancestor’s clone sat at the top of the tower. His expression changed multiple times. After quite a while, he sternly said, “Looks like I need to accelerate the forging of the Fiend Soul Banner.”
“If I want to accelerate the progress, then I’ll have to sacrifice a few more lower worlds and use the souls and resentment of countless lives to induce the birth of the primary banner.”
......
…
In a serene courtyard within the Immortal Rising City, Jian Chen spent several days recovering the power of his soul, but on this day, Jing Feng arrived outside Jian Chen’s secret room in a hurry and said politely, “Senior, the city lord has personally come to visit. He says he has something urgent to discuss with you.”
Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes inside the secret room. As if he already knew that Immortal Exalt Tan Yu would be visiting, he was not surprised at all.
Before long, an obscuring formation enveloped the main hall. Only Jian Chen and Immortal Exalt Tan Yu sat inside before one another. Jian Chen was relaxed, while Immortal Exalt Tan Yu was solemn.
“Fellow Yang Yutian, the death of one of the three ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, the Space-purging Ancestor, should be connected to you, right?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu stared at Jian Chen brightly, doing his best to speak calmly.
“That’s right, we were responsible for it.” Jian Chen nodded.
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu sucked in a deep breath, doing his best to pacify his shock. He said sternly, “An extremely vicious demonic god artifact was left behind where the Space-purging Ancestor died. Fellow Yang Yutian, I was wondering if this demonic god artifact…”
“The demonic artifact belonged to the Space-purging Ancestor. After he died, I intentionally left the demonic artifact there. I wanted to see how the Immortal Exalts of the Hall Brilliance Heaven would respond, and I also wanted it to serve as a guide.” Jian Chen looked at Immortal Exalt Tan Yu and said, “Several days have already passed since then. Have you found anything?”
“Sure enough, it’s the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment!” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said resentfully, but he soon let out a gentle sigh. “In the past few days, we’ve basically turned the entire Hall Brilliance Heaven upside down. We discovered some smaller organisations committing heinous deeds in secret, basically no different from the deeds of demonic cultivators.”
“Through these various signs, we’ve already discovered that a mysterious expert stands behind these smaller organisations. All of their actions are actually in service of the mysterious expert. Unfortunately, we’ve tried everything that we can, but we haven’t been able to find out who it is behind them, nor have we found any connections to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.”
“So many of the Immortal Exalts of the Hall Brilliance Heaven have gathered together. With your exceptional abilities, you’ve actually found nothing?” Jian Chen furrowed his brows. He was uncertain inside. When the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt extracted this information, he did not encounter any particularly great difficulties.
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu nodded. “That’s the situation. We’ve tried everything that we can. We even used soul-searching techniques, but we’ve still found nothing. All of these people have had a vicious demonic secret technique planted in their souls. Once their souls are searched, they’ll ignite automatically and perish in just a few seconds.”
“Even the greatest expert of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, senior Warring, is powerless over this.”
Jian Chen fell silent.
“There’s something else important that you should know, fellow. Some people suspect that the same person is behind the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master’s disappearance as the Space-purging Ancestor’s death. They believe that the vicious demonic artifact also originates from that person,” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said sternly.
“In other words, they’ll come and find me very soon?” Jian Chen said softly. That was indeed troublesome.
“When it comes to these major issues of principle, I won’t be able to cover for you any further. Please forgive me, fellow.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu clasped his fist apologetically.
“When that actually happens, you only need to tell the truth,” Jian Chen said. He was also aware that by then, if Immortal Exalt Tan Yu tried to keep this hidden, the Immortal Rising City would definitely face criticism. It could even be used by those with ulterior motives to go after the city.
Immortal Exalt Tan Yu did not ask Jian Chen about the details of killing the Space-purging Ancestor. He left in a hurry after telling him some news.
With Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s departure, Jian Chen immediately sent a wisp of his soul inside the Primeval Divine Hall. He found the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and asked him about this.
