Legend of Swordsman

4517 Intelligence

After three months of recuperation.

The Tarot divine corpse of the zenith heaven had finally recovered quite a bit. Although there were still some injuries, they were no longer significant. It would slowly recover with time.

Seeing this, Jian Wushuang finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Keep.”

With a wave of his hand, Jian Wushuang put the divine corpse into the Heaven-Suppressing Monument.

In these three months, the news of the Land of Gods gradually spread. It was no longer limited to the hands of the Sect Masters of the major sects, but spread throughout the entire universe.

In an instant, the entire God Refining Sect was in an uproar.

“Senior Brother Yan Dan is dead?!”

“Not only is Senior Brother Yan Dan dead, but Elder Shen Lian and the rising star Fu Chen are also dead!”

“This time, only Wushuang came back alive from the Land of Gods.”

Countless disciples of the God Refining Sect were discussing in low voices.

After that, the God Refining Sect Master announced the death of Yan Dan and Elder Shen Lian.

Although the God Refining Sect Master did not say how Yan Dan died, countless disciples of the God Refining Sect had guessed that it was Jian Wushuang.

The enmity between Jian Wushuang and Yan Dan was obvious to all, and Yan Dan was a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. These disciples had long been certain that there would be a life-and-death battle between Jian Wushuang and Yan Dan on this trip to the Land of Gods.

Now that Jian Wushuang had returned alive, the outcome of this battle was self-evident.

Yan Dan’s death was not that simple. It involved the most important question that followed.

The abdication of the Sect Master was imminent. Yan Dan was originally the next candidate for the position. If Yan Dan died, who would take over the position of Sect Master?

Instantly, countless people looked at Jian Wushuang.

He possessed exceptional aptitude, and his strength was comparable to Yan Dan. On top of that, he had the support of Elder Mi Feng…

He was almost the best candidate for the next Sect Master!

As a result, many disciples and ordinary elders who had planned to follow Yan Dan and become officials of the Dragon moved closer to Jian Wushuang and expressed their good intentions.

Jian Wushuang’s performance was remarkable. He accepted the good intentions of these people one by one.

The moon was high up in the sky.

Jian Wushuang sat cross-legged on the stone bed in the Corpse Cave. After bidding farewell to an Elder of the God Refining Sect, he shook his head in silence.

Originally, he had been undercover in the God Refining Sect to gather information. He did not expect that he would become the number one person in the God Refining Sect.

Fate was really playing with him.

At this moment.

A message from Luo Ming, Crimson Whale Gang’s Chief, who had been silent for a long time, rang in his mind.

“Young Master, our people have found something in the Void Forbidden Land!”

Luo Ming was a little tired, but his voice was more excited.

“Get straight to the point.” Jian Wushuang replied indifferently.

“Yes!” Luo Ming responded respectfully and quickly replied, “Young Master, according to our investigation, we found a total of 97 void cracks in the Void Forbidden Land. These 97 void cracks are guarded by experts, but the 89th void crack is a little strange. Our people found traces of Void Master Gu Heng, who had disappeared from the Void Universe a long time ago!”

Void Master Gu Heng was a top expert who was famous 50,000 void eras ago. He was a figure who dominated an era, but he disappeared for no reason 30,000 void eras ago, when his pressure on the Void Universe reached its peak. The people of the Void Universe thought that Void Master Gu Heng had died in an accident, but they did not expect him to be hiding in the Void Forbidden Land.

In addition, around the 89th crack in the void, there were many other fluctuations of void power that were not weaker than that of Void Master Gu Heng. The smaller ones were probably from the same era as Void Master Gu Heng, or even longer.

“They’re all hiding around the crack in the void. Something big must have happened!”

“Yes.” Hearing this, Jian Wushuang nodded his head. He was slightly happy in his heart, but his face remained calm. “Give me a detailed map of the area. Place it in your Crimson Whale Gang’s headquarters. I’ll pick a time to retrieve it. Remember to mark the 89th crack in detail!”

“Yes! No problem, Young Master!” Luo Ming quickly patted his chest and promised.

“Hmm, are there any strange signs from the other top forces and sects?” Jian Wushuang asked casually.

“Reporting to the Young Master, we haven’t found anything unusual for the time being.”

“Alright.” Jian Wushuang nodded and ordered, “If you have enough people, can you help me investigate an organization called ‘Devourers’?”

The moment his voice fell, Luo Ming’s expression changed drastically and he said, “Devourers? Young Master, have you offended these lunatics?”

“You know them?”

Jian Wushuang raised his eyebrows and became interested.

On the other end of the message, Luo Ming’s expression became serious. He held his breath and said, “Young Master, I don’t know much about the Devourers, or rather, I don’t know much about this organization in the entire Void Universe. I only know that they’re mysterious and powerful.”

“They usually would not be exposed to the universe and were in a state of seclusion. No one knew where they were hiding, but once they came out, something big would happen in the universe!”

“Devouring Emperor, the leader of the Devourers, is far more powerful than we can imagine. I remember that the son of a Six Scar Void Master offended devour and was killed. This Six Scar Void Master, who is the master of a Holy Land, went to the Devourers to seek justice for his dead son, but he was killed by the Devourers. The entire sect was involved, including tens of thousands of disciples, including the Scar level Elders. They were all killed overnight and their heads were displayed as a warining to others!”

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang’s pupils shrank slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, “Alright. You guys don’t need to investigate the Devourers. Keep watching the other top forces.”

“Yes!” Luo Ming heaved a sigh of relief. If Jian Wushuang wanted him to investigate the Devourers, he would not dare to refuse. However, he was sure that he would be killed if he dared to investigate them.

After giving a few more instructions, Jian Wushuang cut off the communication between the two.

Jian Wushuang stretched out his finger and wrote the word ‘Devour’ on the stone bed. He frowned.

The death of Supreme Tarot was related to the Devourers, and the Devourers was the one who had sold the corpse of Supreme Tarot to the God Refining Sect.

Back in the Nine Luminaries Great Star Field of the Divine Power Universe, the mysterious black-robed men who called themselves ‘Devour Seven’ and ‘Devour Nine’ were looking for his master, Xuan Yi. These men should be from the ‘Devourers’ group.

What was the purpose of this group of people?

What was the relationship between them and his Master, Xuan Yi?

The night passed uneventfully. Jian Wushuang stretched out his hand to brush away the word ‘devour’ and looked outside the Corpse Cave.

A ray of sunlight was already shining in through the hole.

Jian Wushuang stood up and let out a breath of air.
