　　“Bang！ ……”
　　Before the old general’s body could reach the Supreme Yuan Lord, it had already burst apart completely, turning into a cloud of blood mist and dissipating without a trace.
　　The battle flag he was holding in his hand, with a “swish” sound, was inserted into the ground.
　　Immediately, the world within the illusory shadow once again fell into a deathly silence.
The huge demonic creature transformed by the Yuan Lord then quietly shrank its form, and finally turned into a towering tree, looking far across at that small battle flag.
　　The entire world was once again Cover by the gray mist.
　　The great battle within the illusory shadow almost vanished in the blink of an eye.
　　If it weren’t for the fact that one could faintly see that battle flag and that towering demonic tree, everyone would most likely have thought that what had just happened was just an illusory vision like a flower in a mirror and the moon in the water.
　　And as the scene within the illusory shadow was fixed on this scene, the originally silent stands once again erupted with a deafening uproar.
In the spirit mirror where the battle was being watched, there were also continuous shout s from all over the world coming from within it –
　　“This …… when did this happen？”
“Such a fierce human-demon battle, why have I never heard of it?”
　　“Ta Hai Army, have you ever heard of this Ta Hai Army from anyone？”
　　“I have traveled in the five directions of the world for hundreds of years and have never heard of this Ta Hai Army！”
　　“I understand. This Xu Taiping must have randomly intercepted a scene to divert our attention and thus absolve himself！”
　　After the discussion, not only the cultivators in front of the spirit mirror, but also most of the cultivators watching the battle on the viewing platform of Tianzhu Peak believed that this was a scene fabricated out of thin air by Xu Taiping.”
　　At this time, Mu Yuchen on the sword flat first questioned and said：
　　“Xu Taiping, at this time, you still dare to use this kind of thing to play tricks on us. Do you think we have no eyes？”
　　Prefecture Master Liu Chuxuan also frowned and said at this time：
　　“Xu Taiping, if you want to prove your innocence, please produce conclusive evidence.”
　　However, before Xu Taiping could speak, the always silent Xuanpin Zhenjun suddenly said：
　　“This Ta Hai Army, I did hear of it more than a thousand years ago.”
　　As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed drastically, and their eyes all looked towards Xuanpin Zhenjun.”
Even Xu Taiping was a little curious. How could Xuanpin Zhenjun have heard of the Ta Hai Army? So he didn’t rush to explain and also quietly looked at Xuanpin Zhenjun.
　　Xuanpin Zhenjun didn’t keep it a secret either. He first explained to everyone and said：
　　“At that time, I was training in the Dry Stone Sea. I stayed there for ninety years, so I became familiar with many ancestors who originally lived near the Dry Stone Sea.”
　　“Among them, there is an ancestral tribe, claiming that their ancestors were dragon slayers.”
　　“Every year, they will be…”
　　When he said this, the Mysterious Female True Monarch paused for a moment, looked at Xu Taiping deeply, and then continued：
　　“They will offer sacrifices to the sea near the ruins of the Golden Court Cave Heaven in the Dry Stone Sea, saying that it is to sacrifice an army that hid here with the magic dragon in order to guard them.”
　　“And the name of this army is called the Sea-Treading Banner.”
　　Hearing this, Prefect Liu Chuxuan suddenly looked at Xu Taiping in surprise and said：
　　“There is actually a Sea-Treading Army.”
　　The Mysterious Female True Monarch suddenly shook his head again and said：
　　“But the Sea-Treading Army mourned by those ancestors not only died in battle with the magic dragon, but also has been at least two hundred thousand years ago.”
　　As soon as they heard this, the eyes of the crowd looking at Xu Taiping once again showed a strong suspicion.”
　　Mu Yuchen was even more excited and said：
　　“Even if the scene in that shadow is true, but what does this have to do with the deaths of Elder Lou and the others？”
As she spoke, she turned to look at True Lord Xuanpin and Liu Chuxuan, and pleaded, “Lord Liu, True Lord Xuanpin, don’t listen to his quiver anymore. These matters will be clear once he is imprisoned and interrogated!
　　Liu Chuxuan and True Lord Xuanpin didn’t answer Mu Yuchen. Instead, they both looked at Xu Taiping.
　　Obviously, just based on the Illusory shadow that Xu Taiping had just shown them, it was enough for the two of them to give Xu Taiping a chance to explain.
After all, the demonic creature in that scene was a Yuanzhu-level demonic creature. It should be known that in the Nine Abysses the Demon Emperor and Demon King could be replaced at will, but only this Yuanzhu was a unique existence in each abyss of the Nine Abysses.
　　Facing the gazes cast by True Lord Xuanpin and Liu Chuxuan, Xu Taiping once again placed his hand on the Stepping Sea Army Stone Tablet and said at the same time：
Although the scene just now has no direct relationship with the deaths of several predecessors, it is the origin of everything.
　　After hearing Xu Taiping’s words, thefeel uncertainin the eyes of the crowd became significantly stronger.
　　And after injecting another stream of true essence into the Stepping Sea Tablet aside, Xu Taiping continued to say：
Approximately three hundred thousand years ago, the Tenth Demon Abyss once again descended upon the Upper Clear Realm in the body of a demon.
　　And the location was the current Kushi Jinting Cave Heaven.
　　As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the high-level cultivators in the Upper Clear Realm on the sword terrace, including Sect Master Zhao Qian beside them, all showed expressions of shock.
　　And the younger generation of cultivators, such as Chu Yinan, Mu Yun and others, had confused expressions on their faces.
　　Because in their perception, there have always been only nine abysses in this world, and there is no such thing as the Tenth Demon Abyss.
　　Mu Yuchen, who didn’t trust Xu Taiping in the first place, after hearing these words, even more sneered with a look of contempt and said：
　　“Xu Taiping, do you know what you are talking about？ In order to get rid of the crime, you can even fabricate something that doesn’t exist at all like the Tenth Demon Abyss！”
　　However, as soon as Mu Yuchen’s voice fell, a very stern scolding sound was suddenly heard exploding beside her——
　　“Mu Yuchen, shut up for me！~”
　　Turning around, I saw a human-shaped Illusory shadow that appeared between her and Mu Yun at some unknown time.
　　After seeing the figure clearly, Mu Yuchen and Mu Yun’s complexions changed drastically at the same time, and they immediately knelt down and prostrated themselves and said：
　　“Pavilion Master！”
　　This Illusory shadow was exactly Mu Zhixing, thePavilion Masterof Guangling Pavilion.
　　That Mu Zhixing ignored the two people, but looked at Xu Taiping with very sharp eyes and said：
　　“You really encountered the Yuanzhu of the Tenth Demon Abyss in the Demon Cave？”
　　Looking at Mu Zhixing who came to this Sword Flat in the form of his primordial spirit, Xu Taiping was slightly surprised and was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said：
　　”That’s right.”
　　Mu Zhixing, asked eagerly：
　　”Where is the evidence？”
　　Xu Taiping knew that no matter how much he said, the people in front of him would still doubt, and just in time he also found the soul imprint that Yunhe Zhenjun put into the Tahai Tablet back then.
　　So he took out another Moon Shadow Stone and prepared to display the scene inside Yunhe Zhenjun’s soul imprint through the Moon Shadow Stone in his left hand in front of everyone’s eyes.
　　”Elders, please see for yourselves.”
　　Just as Xu Taiping said this, a phantom rose from the Moon Shadow Stone in his hand.
　　Immediately, everyone heard a clear voice coming from that phantom——
　　”Everyone, this is Yunhe Zhenjun of Yunsheng Tower.”
　　That’s right, this soul imprint was deliberately left by Yunhe Zhenjun in case several people died at the hands of the Yuanzhu of the Tenth Abyss to remind those who came later.
　　At that time, the several people hadn’t even thought of sealing the soul imprint in the Tahai Tablet.
　　Just as this voice sounded, Yunhe Zhenjun’s face also appeared in that phantom.
　　Appearing together with Yunhe Zhenjun’s phantom were also Xu Taiping, Qingtong Xiejun, the Great Elder of the Tower, and the Lord of Yizhu Building who were busy cleaning up the battlefield behind him.
　　“It’s really Cloud Crane True Monarch~”
　　“Elder Lou！”
　　“Owner Yizhu is also here！”
　　“And that Green Pupil Evil Monarch and Xu Taiping himself！”
　　Inside and outside the Sword Terrace, there were cries of surprise everywhere.
　　However, as Cloud Crane True Monarch’s next words sounded, the field instantly fell silent——
　　“When you all see this soul mark, most likely, all of us here should already be dead.”
