In the secular world, in Tianshui City of the Great Liang Kingdom.
As far as the eye can see, all is in ruins.
“These arsonists actually used one of the most vicious true fires among the postnatal true fires, the Thousand Sores True Fire, and its rank is at least Heaven Rank.”
When Xu Taiping was flying in the air over the ruins of Tianshui City while using his divine soul to sense thesmell of his senior sister Zhao Linglong, the Fairy Lingyue in the white gourd suddenly transmitted a message to Xu Taiping.
Hearing this, Xu Taiping’s complexion sank, and the killing intent on his body became even stronger.
The Thousand Sores True Fire is extremely famous among the postnatal true fires. Because any object burned by it will be burned full of holes from the inside out, and then will be burned to ashes.
One can imagine what kind of pain the people of the Great Liang Kingdom, who were burned by the Thousand Sores True Fire, suffered before they died.
“Actually, before receiving the news from your senior sister Linglong, the Nine Mansions suspected that these arsonists had other plans. Because when they massacred the country, they did not choose a more powerful true fire, but chose such a vicious true fire as the Thousand Sores True Fire, making the people of the Great Liang Kingdom suffer the torture of the true fire devouring their bodies and then die in this kind of pain.”
The Yellow Sparrow, who was flying side by side with Xu Taiping against the wind, also mentioned the Thousand-Sores True Fire at this time.
“This is very much like the means of cultivating Gu used by devil cultivators and evil cultivators. You ask the Yellow Sparrow if there have been any devil cultivators and evil cultivators showing up recently.”
The Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping again at this time.
“Hmm.”
Xu Taiping responded quietly in his heart, and then asked the Yellow Sparrow beside him, “Brother Yellow Sparrow, could the real mastermind behind this be related to devil cultivators or evil cultivators？”
“Judging from the current situation, there is indeed such a possibility.”
The Yellow Sparrow nodded, and then, afraid that Xu Taiping would be too worried about the safety of Zhao Linglong and the others, he explained to Xu Taiping：
“But don’t worry, Taiping. The place where the Zhenwu Heavenly Barrier has the greatest power is this secular world where the Five Lakes and the West Sea are located.”
“When we orthodox cultivators with pure spiritual power come in, our cultivation bases will be forcibly suppressed, and we can’t even Cast many powerful spells.”
“Devil cultivators and evil cultivators will at most only give instructions behind the scenes and will never dare to set foot in this place.”
This point, in fact, when Xu Taiping first went down the mountain, the Second Senior Brother and Sister Linglong had already explained it to him.
As for why this group of arsonists were able to use the Heaven-Step True Fire in the secular world, the explanation given by the Yellow Sparrow and the Nine Mansions was that a certain cultivator among this group of arsonists had used the celestial phenomenon of the Heavenly Dog eating the sun in the secular world to briefly block the Zhenwu Heavenly Barrier.
When the celestial phenomenon of the celestial dog devouring the sun occurs, the fact that the power of the True Martial Barrier will be greatly reduced is actually known to many cultivators in the True Martial Heaven cultivation world.
However, because this kind of celestial phenomenon may not occur once in hundreds or even thousands of years, and the time of each occurrence is not fixed, over time, no one pays attention to this matter anymore.
“A celestial phenomenon like the celestial dog devouring the sun will only occur once at least every hundred years. Besides this, the True Martial Barrier has no weaknesses at all.”
The Yellow Sparrow added another sentence at this time.
“But this also shows that the act of these thirteen arsonist cultivators to massacre the country was not accidental, but carefully planned.”
Xu Taiping pointed out the key to the problem in one sentence.
The implication of his words was to blame the Nine Courts for knowing that there were many doubts about this matter, yet still letting their senior brothers and sisters from the Green Mysterious Sect enter Daliang to apprehend the murderers.
“Taiping, what you said is right, but the incident happened suddenly, and the Nine Courts only learned about these things from the mouths of the lucky wandering cultivators who escaped in the past two days.”
Moreover, at that time, the situation was urgent. If thousands of wronged souls were allowed to wander around in the west it was very likely that several blood-clothed evil spirits would be raised.”
“By then, it would be an inestimable disaster for the entire secular world.”
The Yellow Sparrow was not trying to excuse the dereliction of duty of the Nine Courts. It was really that the plan of these arsonist cultivators was too meticulous and they left too few clues. They only discovered the clues recently.
But after weighing the pros and cons, the Nine Mansions still felt that compared to the plans behind these arsonists, the top priority was still to solve the problem of the gathering of unjust souls in the Great Liang Kingdom at present.
Xu Taiping could understand the considerations of the Nine Mansions.
But if his senior sister and senior brother suffered misfortune because of this, he would have to re-evaluate his attitude towards the Nine Mansions in the future.
“Taiping, the front seems to be the place where your Linglong senior sister was attacked！”
At this time, Huangque, who was familiar with the current terrain of Tianshui City, recognized the ruins below at a glance.
“Under a pile of rubble in the central area of that ruin, there seems to be an injured disciple.”
The voice of Fairy Lingyue also sounded in Xu Taiping’s mind at this time.
Although after entering the secular world, no matter the cultivation level of the cultivator, the range that the divine soul can sense is very small, but for a high-level cultivator like Fairy Lingyue, the sensitivity of the divine soul induction is still much higher than that of Xu Taiping and Huangque.
“Brother Huangque, I’ll go down and take a look first.”
After hearing the voice transmission from Fairy Lingyue, Xu Taiping’s heart tightened. After greeting Huangque, he didn’t hesitate and his body plunged straight to the ground.
“Bang！”
Just hearing a loud noise, Xu Taiping, with the astral qi lingering around his body, instantly smashed to the ground from a high altitude.
Even though he had exerted a little less force, the ground was still smashed into a big pit by him.
After standing up, Xu Taiping’s figure “swish” disappeared in a flash, and then he appeared beside the pile of rubble.
Unlike people, as long as it is not in the central area of the real fire, many mountain rocks and houses in the Daliang State Realm have not been burned to ashes by the Thousand-scar True Fire.
Taiping, what did you find？
Huang Que also caught up at this time.
Xu Taiping didn’t answer. Instead, after sensing the position of the injured person under the pile of stones, he suddenly clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the ground.
“Bang！”
Amid the huge shock, the pile of rubble in front of Xu Taiping was shaken up from the ground by the force of his fist.
The injured person who was pressed under the pile of rubble then appeared in the front of Xu Taiping and Huang Que.
“Shua！”
The moment Huang Que saw the injured person, his figure also flickered. Before the stones shaken away by Xu Taiping’s fist fell, he had already rescued the injured person below.
The two cooperated very tacitly.
And when Huang Que puts the injured disciple on the ground, Xu Taiping’s originally tense strings relax accordingly.
It can be seen that the injured person on the ground is not Zhao Linglong.
However, after seeing clearly the magic robe worn by the injured person and the bronze mirror for passing through the second peak of Qingxuan Zongshan hanging around his waist, Xu Taiping’s heart sank again.
Because although this injured person is not Zhao Linglong, he is also a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect.
