Chapter 282: Investigation
North State, Xiaotian City
Lin Batian is not here, Lin Die is not here, Lin Ying is also not here, and the other members of the Lin family don’t have enough power to control the situation. Lin Chaosheng can only invite Xiao Lingyue to take charge.
"My husband is not here, so I will lead the meeting today. Anyone opposed?"
Xiao Lingyue sat in the middle and spoke to everyone. Tian Li and Wei Dao don’t oppose. Lin Batian is not dead, he just temporarily left. There is no need to argue over temporary emotions.
"Alright, since no one objects, Lin Chaosheng, please explain the situation."
"Yes, starting from this month, there have been several tragic incidents in North State. Nearly a hundred people from Xiaotian City have died, all of them accidents. Initially, it was a mystery, and we couldn’t even find the culprit.
After our investigation, we have now confirmed that one of the culprits is the notorious Killing Demon Su Chang. Su Chang was once a well-known villain in North State, who took pleasure in killing, especially in a cruel manner. There were rumors that North State Bandits had joined forces to eradicate him, but now we know those rumors were false.
The last time Su Chang disappeared, he had reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul level. Now that he has reappeared, my cultivation is too low to determine his current level. We must be prepared, as Su Chang may have undergone a Soul Changing.
Apart from Su Chang, two teams of people died in the far north of North State, about thirty to forty thousand miles away from Xiaotian City. It is the core area of the Monster Clan and the Human Demon Tribe.
Besides, we sent people to ask the Human Demon Tribe. Within three months, three people from a tribe of nearly a thousand disappeared, disappeared completely…
Lin Chaosheng slowly said that the incidents were not just one, but a series, which made Xiaotian City exhausted. Currently, apart from Su Chang, there are no other clues.
"Except for Su Chang, the rest are still unsolved cases, right?"
"Yes."
"Then keep investigating. As for Su Chang, Taoist Friend Wei and Taoist Friend Tian, please you to take care of it."
"At most it’s just a Soul Changing. As for us taking action…"
Wei Dao felt a little unhappy, thinking that Xiao Lingyue was making a big deal out of it. They were Void Achieving cultivators, and if they had to handle every little thing, what were the people under their care for? How would they have time to cultivate?
"We don’t have many people here either. Taoist Friend Xiao, you can ask Taoist Friend Wu from Tiandao Gate to take action."
Tian Li also agreed, saying that dealing with a mere Soul Changing was enough for a Tiandao Gate cultivator in the later stage of Soul Changing.
"Then it will trouble Taoist Friend Wu."
Xiao Lingyue didn’t argue much either. After Taoist Friend Wu’s Soul Changing, she thought she could handle Su Chang, who was at most in the early stages of Soul Changing.
"Okay."
Taoist Friend Wu nodded. He was the only Soul Changing practitioner left in Tiandao Gate, with a low sense of existence. If he didn’t make some effort, he would not be able to live off Xiaotian City’s food for free.
"The situation in the far north cannot be underestimated. Let Nascent Soul lead the team. I wonder who can take on this great responsibility."
"Let someone from my Infinite Palace go."
Tian Li said. The strength of the Lin family is stronger than Lin Batian, and the others have insufficient cultivation. There are only a few Nascent Soul practitioners. In fact, the overall strength of the four major sects is stronger than the Lin family. It’s just that they are divided into four families. Otherwise, the ruler of Xiaotian City would not be the Lin family.
The major issues have been discussed, and now only the details remain. Lin Chaosheng can handle that. Xiao Lingyue didn’t say much afterwards, but she still liked the situation.
Previously, although she was the saintess of the Spiritual Moon Sect, she had no real power. She just focused on her cultivation. During this time, she felt the beauty of having power, with people agreeing and following her every word and action, and being admired everywhere.
"No wonder men pursue strength, strength brings power, it’s truly amazing."
Xiao Lingyue thought to herself, at this moment she felt even more that her perspective was too narrow when she was in the Spiritual Moon Sect.
·······
Tian Heng and a few others entered the extreme north to investigate, the people by his side were all his relatives, just like in the four major sects. In the face of the catastrophe of extermination, those who could escape were either exceptionally talented individuals or high-ranking heirs.
Now, the remnants of the four major sects in Qing State could be described as remnants of families. However, Tian Heng and the others didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. It would be foolish not to save their own people at a critical moment.
"Martial Uncle, there are still many demon tribes in the depths of North State, and there are also many Human Demon Tribes. These tribes haven’t appeared in Xiaotian City."
"I know, some Human Demon Tribes are selling goods, while some tribes have never had any dealings with us."
"Then what about…"
"Let’s focus on the important tasks first. Now that we have occupied North State, we have plenty of opportunities."
Tian Heng said, he knew what the person meant, they just wanted to steal something, and he also had that plan, but it wasn’t the right time yet.
"Yes, Martial Uncle."
"Martial Uncle, can we reclaim Infinite Palace?"
"Why are you talking about this?"
"My child was born last year, I don’t really feel like seeking revenge anymore, we don’t have much opportunity."
"Shut up, are you trying to disrupt our unity?"
"Martial Uncle, I also want revenge, but…"
The person didn’t know how to express themselves for a moment. When Infinite Palace was destroyed, they were still very young and didn’t understand. But now it’s different, they understand.
They only took the smallest and weakest North State, but gained countless benefits. As for the four big families, they took the entire Qing State, something that even the four major sects couldn’t achieve before.
They will only become stronger, but over the years their continuous harassment of Qing State has had very little effect and caused great losses. The gap between them is too large.
He had already given up hope and had thoughts of surrender. Revenge and restoring the sect were no longer considerations. Just living well was the best path.
In the cultivation world, it’s all about fighting and killing, just like those demonic tribes, the Human Demon Tribe. They haven’t killed us, but we have to kill them. Does that make sense? It doesn’t. In their eyes, we are the demons.
Similarly, we didn’t provoke the four major families, but they destroyed our sect and killed our loved ones. If you’re not willing to pick up a sword, then in the future, your children will suffer the same fate.
In order to avoid being killed, one must have the power to kill. This is the essence of this world. Your days in Xiaotian City were built on the blood of others. I hope you remember this."
"Martial Uncle is right. Rather than just surviving, it’s better to die in a spectacular way. Qing State used to be ours, and it will be ours again. If you don’t want to kill anymore, then leave. I, on the other hand, will stick to this path until the end."
"Alright, enough about that. According to the intelligence from Xiaotian City, both teams have disappeared in this area, and there’s also a complete disappearance of the Human Demon Tribe. Investigate this area, spread out and be careful. If anything seems suspicious, run first and then decide."
Tian Heng didn’t want to say much. He asked everyone to spread out and investigate. They quickly dispersed, searching the surroundings.
"Martial Uncle, I have found something."
After two hours, Tian Heng received a message and immediately gathered everyone to go.
"Master of martial arts, in the front, I have discovered a spiritual vein according to the earth’s pulse. However, this place is desolate and very unusual. I have used my Magical Eye to observe it, but I can’t see anything."
"Let me take a look first."
Tian Heng nodded and cast a spell, also summoning the Magical Eye. Golden light shimmered in his eyes, allowing him to see everything clearly.
"Master of martial arts, how is it?"
"There is a whole new world inside, filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers."
"A formation barrier?"
"Yes, but I didn’t see anyone inside."
"What should we do?"
"I will go inside and have a look. You all stay back. If I don’t come out in one hour, you can leave. Please ask the old ancestor for help. There is something strange here, either a big problem or an opportunity."
Tian Heng said. In the far north, suddenly there is a place. It’s either a very dangerous place or a great opportunity. He won’t miss it.
After discussing, several people, Tian Heng flew forward and quickly entered the barrier, disappearing from sight.
Tian Heng arrived inside the barrier and once again saw a scene full of chirping birds and fragrant flowers. He was quite shocked. This kind of scene wasn’t anything special in the Qing State, but it was very rare in the North State.
"What is that?"
Not long after, red clouds reappeared. Tian Heng scanned with his spiritual awareness but couldn’t figure out what it was. When the red clouds approached, Tian Heng finally discovered what it was and his expression changed immediately.
"Infinite Marvelous Method."
Tian Heng didn’t panic. A ray of light flashed, and a large amount of raindrops fell. Before the raindrops reached the ground, they turned into ice cubes, and the red clouds were also taken away.
"Let me see who is playing tricks."
Tian Heng quickly attacked and after a dozen moves, the scene inside the barrier turned into ruins. The beautiful scenery with birds chirping and flowers blooming instantly changed into a Syrian-style landscape.
"You dare to challenge my dojo, little one."
"Who’s there? Show yourself."
A voice appeared and Tian Heng shouted loudly, but no one appeared. Instead, a large number of red clouds emerged, which were actually bugs swarming towards Tian Heng.
However, Tian Heng remained fearless. These bugs had weak attacks, only relying on their numbers. Tian Heng took out a stack of spiritual talismans and activated them, causing countless red clouds to dissipate.
"I’ve found you."
Following the trail of the red clouds, Tian Heng searched all the way and arrived at a valley. The whole valley was filled with red clouds, faintly visible but not clearly visible. However, Tian Heng believed that the person who was playing tricks was here.
"You have good strength to find the place where the old ancestor hides."
"Why do you hide and refuse to show yourself?"
"Grandfather needs one more blood slave, I think you are very suitable."
As they spoke, the red cloud dissipated, and Tian Heng became suddenly terrified because he didn’t see a person, but instead saw a large moving mass of blood that almost filled half of the valley.
"Everyone is frightened when they first meet Grandfather, but once you become a blood slave, you will understand how amazing Grandfather is."
"Die."
In his fear, Tian Heng angrily attacked, sending thousands of sword energy, shooting towards the mass of blood in the valley.
The mass of blood emitted a red light, deflecting the sword energy, and then a stronger red light attacked Tian Heng. Despite his best efforts to defend himself, he couldn’t stop it and was blasted away.
Countless Blood Worms quickly covered Tian Heng’s body, and his protective energy was rapidly diminishing. However, instead of resisting, Tian Heng secretly gripped a spiritual talisman.
"Boom!"
At the moment when his protective energy shattered, Tian Heng unleashed an incredibly strong surge of sword energy. This was the Life Talisman bestowed upon him by his family’s ancestor. At the same time, Tian Heng activated the spiritual talisman in his hand, causing his body to quickly disappear. He chose to escape.
