They looked at each other and smiled, instantly knowing each other.
"What do you plan to do about the Sacred Heart Palace?"
"They've escaped this calamity. We'll take it one step at a time."
"Hmm … well …"
Their voices grew softer and softer as they went further and further away.
They gradually passed through the city and disappeared into the yellow sand path far away.
From this day onwards, a new name had been added to Tonight City.
"The Land of Saint Massacre!"
In less than half a month's time, there were actually over a hundred Saint Monarchs who were currently at the pinnacle of combat strength that had perished here!
What was even more terrifying was that these hundred Saint Lords had all been killed by one person!
Naturally, a new legend was born.
Supreme Cloud had returned from his battle against the demons and executed the human rebels here! He had killed hundreds of Saint Lords in one battle and shocked the world!
…
It was not until three days after Yun Yang left that people finally dared to move on the streets of Tonight City …
However, this was a story for another time.
…
After the three Palace Masters of the Three Great Sky Palaces returned, they did not say a word and immediately launched a massive purge.
Countless people were purged …
At the same time, the entire palace was mobilized to investigate the descendants and families of the heroes who had sacrificed themselves. Those who had disappeared for no reason were searched for the bloodline of the heroes!
In front of the Temple of Brave Souls, the three palace lords knelt down …
…
After the three palace lords dealt with some matters, Dongfang Haoran and Beigong Liuli announced their closed-door cultivation at the same time.
They recalled the Sons of Saints and temporarily took charge of the situation. The people of the heavenly palaces were not allowed to go out, except those who were stationed at Blood Soul Mountain and those who had returned from there!
An unusual battle broke out in West Heaven Saint Palace.
It was said that the Lord of West Heaven Saint Palace and his wife fought and only half of the palace was destroyed!
His wife wanted to avenge her son, but the palace lord stopped her no matter what.
In the end, the Lord of West Heaven Saint Palace, Ximen Fafu, was indeed a pinnacle Saint, the strongest person in the world. He suppressed his wife and even strengthened her husband's authority!
However, there were also rumors that his wife cried out in grief after the battle and announced that she would not fall out with Ximen Fafu anymore and that she would divorce her husband …
Ximen Fafu collected his son's crimes and threw them in front of his wife. He scolded her until the world turned upside down and the sun and moon dimmed … It was a rare moment of heroism.
His wife did not seem to make a fuss anymore …
Of course, very few people mentioned the final outcome of this matter. Most likely, no one knew the more detailed details …
…
Yun Yang and Shangguan Lingxiu returned in the direction of the Residence of Nine Supremes …
On this day …
As they passed through Lianyun Mountains, they passed a valley and Yun Yang suddenly frowned.
"What a thick smell of blood."
Yun Yang and Luo Binghe were surprised to notice something amiss. Following the scent of blood, they arrived at a secluded valley in a moment.
As far as the eye could see, the surroundings of the valley were covered in pure white snow, and only the center of the valley that was around a few kilometers in circumference was a complete mess.
"Yun Yang" Yun "God" and "Yun" Yun "Yun" Yun "one.
Yun Yang and Shangguan Lingxiu observed carefully and realized that the valley was littered with traces of blood, broken weapons, and dismembered corpses. It was a testament to the devastation of the battle.
The two of them were surprised and paid more attention to the battle in the valley.
Shangguan Lingxiu looked puzzled. "It's obvious that a great battle had taken place here not too long ago, and both parties involved were quite capable. There were at least cultivators above the level of Supreme Saint. Otherwise, the battle wouldn't have ended up like this …"
Feeling the deathly stillness in the valley, Yun Yang could not help closing his eyes to discern it carefully.
"The murderer has been gone for at least six hours …"
"If my guess is correct … the person who was attacked here should be someone from the Sacred Heart Palace."
Yun Yang's face was filled with indescribable discomfort.
Previously, his main target was the three Holy Sons of the Heavenly Palaces. Although he had also pressured the Sacred Heart Palace, it was not too much. After all, there were not many "people" in the Sacred Heart Palace, and Lei Qianli was the only clown.
Yun Yang even saw the Sacred Heart Palace as an ally. After all, the Sacred Heart Palace did not have a direct conflict with him like the Sons of Three Heavenly Palaces. He believed that most of the people who followed Lei Qianli here this time were hot-blooded warriors of the human race!
That day at the Golden Night Tower, those people's dissatisfaction towards Great Elder Lei Qianli had all entered Yun Yang's eyes.
It was because of this that Yun Yang did not openly offend Lei Qianli on the spot. He did not want to put others in a difficult position.
Lei Qianli, who had long been targeted by Yun Yang as a traitor, must have someone else behind his back. His threat might even be higher than the group of Holy Sons. Acting recklessly would only cause unnecessary conflict. After all, these people were still Lei Qianli's subordinates in name.
There would be a chance to settle the score with Lei Qianli, the clown, in the future!
However, he did not expect this tragedy to happen in the end!
He had actually underestimated Lei Qianli by labeling him as a clown!
Yun Yang glided forward and looked around at the corpses that were strewn all over the ground to see if there were any survivors. He saw that the bodies of each of the deceased were dried up as if their flesh and blood had been sucked away by something. There was no chance of survival at all …
However, the faces of each of the dried corpses were filled with anger and grief!
It was as if they were still questioning and roaring before they died!
Yun Yang could only feel waves of heartache.
It was not about the level of their abilities. These people might not be able to reach the level of the saints who had made things difficult for him in the Golden Night Tower in their entire lives, but each of these people was a man of indomitable spirit!
At the very least, they would not harm a hero!
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
Yun Yang let out a long sigh and stood up. "Let these brothers rest in peace."
He carefully tidied up the remains of each person and packed up their belongings. He was prepared to hand them over to their families when he returned to the Sacred Heart Palace.
When he reached the corpse in the middle, Yun Yang unexpectedly found a line of scribbled words that were almost illegible.
"Lei Qianli is a Demon Race spy!"
Yun Yang let out a long sigh again, deeply regretting his late arrival. Why had he not come earlier?
What he didn't know was that this incident had nothing to do with him.
Whether Yun Yang came late or early, it would not affect this matter at all.
In fact, on the night of the banquet, when Lei Qianli had returned, the people of the Sacred Heart Palace had almost started fighting amongst themselves.
More than fifty people had asked Lei Qianli directly, "What do you mean?"
Lei Qianli had used many flowery words to defend himself. In the end, he had used the excuse that he was worried that they would really welcome a fake Supreme Cloud and become the laughing stock of the Sacred Heart Palace. However, in the next few days, the people of the Sacred Heart Palace had become more and more displeased with Lei Qianli …
This strong dissatisfaction had completely erupted when Yun Yang was fighting the eight Saints, but Lei Qianli still continued to argue and refused to admit that Yun Yang was Supreme Cloud.
"Are all of you blind? So many Saints are fighting that masked man to their death. Doesn't that mean that the masked man is not a good person? Are all the Saints stupid to gang up on the hero of the Bound of Universe? The only explanation is that the masked man is not a good person. At least, he can't be Lord Supreme Cloud! "
It had to be said that Lei Qianli's words made sense. At least a small group of people had been bewitched by his words, causing the people of the Sacred Heart Palace to be divided into two groups. Later, under Lei Qianli's incitement, they finally came to a decision: they would not help either side and leave immediately.
They would go back and not get involved in this mess!
Therefore, the people from the Sacred Heart Palace had actually withdrawn when Yun Yang was fighting with the Son of God.
Along the way, however, there was still a stormy quarrel. Lei Qianli repeatedly slandered the masked man and refused to admit that the man was Yun Yang. He even used his own identity to make a fuss, using the tiger's skin as a banner, which made everyone more and more unconvinced. Finally, when the Soul Demon returned, the conflict broke out completely.
Hun Yao suffered a strong shock. After returning, he was silent for a day, still in a state of shock. Then, he could not bear it anymore and killed a Saint Emperor in the middle of the night, absorbing the soul to calm himself down.
And this incident became the breaking point of the bloody case.
"There is a traitor among us, a traitor with ulterior motives!"
With this sentence as the beginning, it completely ignited an unprecedented conflict. On the spot, someone threatened, "When we go back, we must report to the Temple Lord to take down Lei Qianli and investigate!"
Then the crowd was simply divided into two groups. Most of them chose the other way back and no longer traveled with Lei Qianli. It was also that night that Lei Qianli and the others came …
A tragedy was brewing!
"I have probably guessed the whole story of your murder case and know what you want to do. Don't worry, I will help you do it! "
Yun Yang said quietly in front of the newly erected grave.
"Lei Qianli, Hun Yao!"
…
Yun Yang had doubts about Lei Qianli since a long time ago.
Back when he was at the Lei Family, he had met the Demon Soul, a demon of calamity that only existed in legends, by chance. He had also learned some old stories from Dong Qitian, so he had long locked onto Lei Qianli as a target.
In the battle a few days ago, Hun Yao hid in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Although Emmie's momentary mistake caused the layout to be flawed, it still made Yun Yang further confirm that there was something wrong with Lei Qianli.
After today's incident, Lei Qianli was no longer a suspect, but a confirmed crime. His crime was unforgivable!
"Lei Qianli must be killed!"
Yun Yang said fiercely.
Shangguan Lingxiu frowned as she listened to Yun Yang's brief account of the incident. "I'm afraid we can't act rashly … I think that killing Lei Qianli in a hurry will alert the enemy instead."
"Now it proves that there must be a demon expert hiding behind Lei Qianli." Yun Yang agreed with Shangguan Lingxiu's point of view as well. "If we can't uncover the person hiding behind this, I'm afraid that eliminating Lei Qianli alone won't affect the grand scheme of things. The Sacred Heart Palace will still be faced with many dangers. It's not impossible for it to disintegrate and disappear overnight."
Shangguan Lingxiu pondered and said, "Then what do you plan to do next?"
"We can't delay the Sacred Heart Palace. Let's not go back to the Residence of Nine Supremes, let's go directly to the Sacred Heart Palace."
Yun Yang said seriously, "Even if Zhan Wufei is prepared and even knows that there is a spy in the Sacred Heart Palace, he may not be able to lock the target on Lei Qianli. If Lei Qianli is desperate, Zhan Wufei will be in danger. Even if we kill Lei Qianli afterward, it will still be useless. "
Shangguan Lingxiu nodded. "That's right. Let's go then."
Yun Yang did not waste any time. He identified the direction and activated his mystical skill, tearing the space apart and leaving with Shangguan Lingxiu and Shangguan Lingxiu.
…
The Sacred Heart Palace.
At the foot of the mountain.
Lei Qianli and his less than twenty subordinates finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the misty clouds halfway up the mountain, a sense of guilt grew.
He had brought a hundred and twenty men with him to welcome the hero when he left. Now, the hero had not been received and only twenty men had returned.
Those who had fallen were all killed by him …
Lei Qianli had absolute confidence that Zhan Wufei would not know about this, but it did not mean that he did not feel guilty.
"It's fine."
The man in green beside him said casually, "You only need to go in and say what we've discussed. The current situation is that Supreme Cloud's identity is a mystery. Without removing his mask, it's a fact that we can't tell."
"You don't need to prove your innocence. Just make sure that it's confusing and difficult to come to a conclusion."
Lei Qianli gritted his teeth and said, "What about the Soul Demon? It's better to let the Soul Demon attach to me. If something goes wrong, we'll join forces and kill our way out. "
Letting the Soul Demon follow him was obviously a way of retreat he had prepared for himself.
"Don't you know that it's unrealistic to let the Soul Demon go up?" The man in green said faintly, "The aura on the Soul Demon is too gloomy and gloomy. How can there be no spiritual sense experts in the Sacred Heart Palace? It's inevitable that we'll be discovered. That'll be the real waste of all our previous efforts."
"Even if there's a chance that Zhan Wufei will turn against us, you just have to rush out immediately and you'll naturally have a way out …"
"Even if you're not Zhan Wufei's opponent, if Zhan Wufei says he wants to kill you, it won't be a short time. As long as you don't fight him head-on and focus on breaking out, you'll still be able to come out even if you're inevitably injured."
"If Zhan Wufei pursues you here, the Soul Demon and I will not only be your backup but also the trump card to kill Zhan Wufei."
Lei Qianli thought for a long time. "Alright, let's do it!"
…
The Sacred Heart Palace.
In the main hall.
Zhan Wufei's burly body sat on the throne. His eyes were clear as he stared at the sorrowful Great Elder Lei Qianli.
"… It's hard to say … The purpose of our trip this time is to welcome the return of a hero, but there were too many heroes and Supreme Clouds in the city tonight … There were many Saint Lords who covered their faces that day, calling themselves Supreme Clouds every time they opened their mouths …"
"… In the beginning, Holy Son Dongfang and the others had already received one … Later, everyone present was confused and couldn't figure out … which one was the real Supreme Cloud …"
"Every Supreme Cloud present had a supporter, but none of them were willing to remove their masks … In the end, a great battle broke out. What a fiery fight!"
