Two months later, Hellfire Hall.
In a cold and gloomy hall, only a few candles flickered, flickering between light and darkness.
A figure sat high and mighty in the middle, looking down at a Hellfire Hall cultivator below.
"Hall Master!"
The Hellfire Hall cultivator knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "There has been a huge commotion in Hundred Refinement Sect for the past two months."
"There are traces of Hundred Refinement Sect cultivators in the various bazaars and auction houses, buying many treasures and elixirs in a frenzy. I wonder what they're for."
Sitting at the top was the Hellfire Hall's Hall Master!
"Oh?"
The Hellfire Hall's Hall Master was expressionless as he asked indifferently, "What treasures are they?"
The Hellfire Hall cultivator said, "40 days ago, a cultivator saw Dao Lord Tian Xing of Hundred Refinement Sect appear at the Wind Cloud Auction House and buy a Sun Stone!"
The Hellfire Hall's Hall Master frowned.
"A month ago, I heard from Elixir Yang Sect cultivators that the Patriarch of Hundred Refinement Sect appeared and bought many Blood Coagulation Elixirs, Spirit Flesh Elixirs and a large amount of Life Spirit Spring Water from their sect."
After a brief pause, the person continued, "A few days ago, there were rumors outside that someone saw a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure of Hundred Refinement Sect appear and exchange for a Heavenly Dipper Stone at a certain bazaar!"
Swoosh!
Suddenly, two balls of flames burned in the eyes of the Hellfire Hall's Hall Master, dark, cold and sinister.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall turned sinister and terrifying.
The Hellfire Hall cultivator knelt on the ground in silence.
A moment later, a voice sounded from Just Now. "Are there any other unusual movements from Hundred Refinement Sect?"
"N-No."
The person's voice trembled slightly.
The Hellfire Hall's Hall Master asked again, "Have you found out the identity of the cultivator who killed Wu Yuan and the others two months ago?"
"Not yet."
The Hellfire Hall cultivator gulped and said, "I heard from our spies in Hundred Refinement Sect that the cultivator has been living in seclusion ever since he entered the sect and hasn't shown himself much."
"Occasionally, that person would appear and read an ancient scroll, engrossed in it. He seems like a bookworm."
"Bookworm?"
The Hellfire Hall's Master's voice was cold as he said coldly, "Wu Yuan and the other ten died in the hands of a bookworm? Hmm? "
The Hellfire Hall cultivator was sweating profusely and did not dare to make a sound.
The voice of the Hellfire Hall Master seemed to come from the depths of hell, cold and bone-piercing. "After two months of investigation, you only told me that this person is a bookworm and nothing else? Hmm? "
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The cultivator of Hellfire Hall nodded repeatedly. "That person's name is Mo Ling. He's at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm. I heard that he's only a hundred years old. Furthermore …"
"And what?"
Just as the Hellfire Hall cultivator hesitated for a moment, the voice of the Hellfire Hall Master sounded. It was as though he was right beside his ears, sending chills down his spine!
The Hellfire Hall cultivator shuddered and said hurriedly, "Furthermore, I heard that Yoo Han-yeon and Ru Xuan of Hundred Refinement Sect are extremely close to this person. They seem to call him Uncle-Master …"
"Martial Uncle?"
The Hellfire Hall Master frowned slightly.
How was this possible?
If Yoo Han-yeon called this person Uncle-Master, it meant that this person was a cultivator of the same generation as Dao Lord Scarlet Star.
He had seen almost all the cultivators of that generation – how could there be a Genying Zhenjun who was more than a hundred years old?
"Our spies don't dare to get too close."
The Hellfire Hall cultivator continued, "Furthermore, he said that every time he spies on this person from afar, this person seems to be able to sense it! He will glance in his direction intentionally or unintentionally. "
"Genying Zhenjun is more than a hundred years old and he has such a high seniority. Fufu, interesting."
The Hellfire Hall Master laughed. "You may leave first and continue monitoring Hundred Refinement Sect!"
"Understood!"
The Hellfire Hall cultivator retreated as though he had been pardoned.
The hall returned to silence once more.
A moment later, the voice of the Hellfire Hall Master sounded slowly, "Sun Stone, Heavenly Dipper Stone, Blood Congealing Pill, Spirit Spring of Life … is someone trying to refine their bones and body?"
"There's no mistake. These items are all top-notch Bone Tempering materials!"
A hunched figure walked out slowly from the darkness behind the Hellfire Hall Master.
The person had white hair and a white beard. His eyes were turbid and his voice was old. He exuded an aura of twilight and was on the verge of death, as though he could pass away at any moment!
The Hellfire Hall Master seemed to have known that this person was behind him and was not surprised at all.
"I'm just curious as to who it is that could alarm so many cultivators of Hundred Refinement Sect and cause such a huge commotion such that even a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure would come out for him!"
After a moment of silence, the Hellfire Hall Master shook his head. "No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't find a single person with such capabilities."
"Uncle Yu, can you think of anything?"
The Hellfire Hall Master glanced sideways and asked the old man beside him.
Uncle Yu shook his head. "I don't know."
Pausing for a moment, Uncle Yu said, "Should we use our factions to secretly disrupt Hundred Refinement Sect's search for materials?"
"There's no need,"
The Hellfire Hall Master shook his head with disdain in his eyes. "These materials are used to refine a Dao Lord's body. Even if any Dao Lord reconstructs his body, he won't be a threat to us. "
The Hellfire Hall Master exuded a heroic aura as he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "In a month's time, Hundred Refinement Sect will suffer a crushing defeat at the Thousand Crane Tea Party!"
"Even if Hundred Refinement Sect has another Conjoint Body Mighty Figure, it won't help, let alone a Dharma Daojun!"
Uncle Yu nodded as well. "That's right. Although Yoo Han-yeon of Hundred Refinement Sect is not weak in weapon refinement, he's still much inferior to Ming Han. Hundred Refinement Sect will definitely lose this weapon refinement battle! "
The Hellfire Hall Master said proudly, "My disciple will naturally not lose!"
After a moment, the Hellfire Hall Master seemed to have thought of something and sighed faintly.
"Are you still thinking about the Scarlet Flame Heart Sutra, Hall Master?" Uncle Yu asked.
"That's right,"
The Hellfire Hall Master clenched his fists slightly. "That's a sore point for me! I have to obtain that cultivation technique! "
"Right now, there are only four people who know of this cultivation technique."
Uncle Yu said, "Dao Lord Scarlet Star is not easy to deal with. Even if we capture him, he'll probably be like his master and refuse to say anything. Why don't we start with his three disciples? "
"Yes,"
The Hellfire Hall Master said, "I've already sent out a group of Void Reversions to wait for an opportunity. This time round, we have to capture Nangong Ling and the other two alive!"
"However …"
The Hellfire Hall Master frowned and continued, "There's something strange about that Mo Ling. I have a feeling that there will be some variables with him."
Uncle Yu bowed slightly. "If you're worried, I'll make a trip for you personally, Hall Master."
"Uncle Yu, you don't have much lifespan left. It's not good to trouble you with such a small matter, right?"
Although the Hellfire Hall Master rejected verbally, his eyes flickered and he was clearly tempted.
"It's fine,"
Uncle Yu said indifferently, "I don't have much time left. Instead of waiting for death, I might as well make a trip for you and eliminate any variables!"
"Hahahaha!"
The Hellfire Hall Master reared his head in laughter. "Good, good, good! Back then, you were also the famous Dharma Daojun of Tianhuang Mainland. Although you're at the end of your lifespan, your combat strength is still there. "
"With Uncle Yu around, it doesn't matter if Mo Ling is Genying Zhenjun or a Void Reversion, he'll have to surrender!"
