The Temple Masters knew that if they did not catch the culprit early, it would cause great harm.
As the Temple Masters of the Divine Hall, they enjoyed lofty status and treatment. They had unimaginable power.
However, when faced with such a difficult problem, they should step forward bravely to eliminate the danger and crisis for the Divine Hall.
In addition, the Divine Hall had been very peaceful for more than 10,000 years. The Temple Masters' strength had improved, but they had never had the chance to fight.
Many times, they were too bored and wanted to fight with others to test their strength and cultivation results. They could only spar with each other.
Now that they had encountered such a situation, they would not hesitate or retreat. They were very active and enthusiastic, taking the initiative to ask the Second Temple Master to fight.
The Second Temple Master nodded and agreed to the request of the three Temple Masters. He said, "I am very pleased that you are willing to fight for the Divine Hall.
Since there are no objections, the three Temple Masters should set off as soon as possible.
Each of you will lead 3,000 elites to the Southern Region. Try to split up and search for the mysterious culprit. "
The three Temple Masters said yes in unison. After bowing to the Second Temple Master, they left.
An hour later, the three Temple Masters gathered 3,000 Divine Guards. After finishing their preparations, they left the Tai Yu Mystery Realm on the Divine Ship.
The Second Temple Master hesitated for a long time. In the end, he took the communication jade slip from Qian Zhan and went to find the First Temple Master.
Although he believed that the three Temple Masters he sent out were capable of capturing or killing the mysterious culprit.
After serious consideration, he decided to report this matter to the First Temple Master.
This was because he vaguely remembered the origin of the mysterious mark, but he could not confirm it.
Whether or not he could confirm the origin of the mark, this matter involved too much. He could only let the First Temple Master handle it personally.
…
In the dead of night.
Inside and outside the Tai Yu Divine Palace, it was brightly lit and brilliant.
The Second Temple Master entered the Tai Yu Divine Palace with a solemn expression, surrounded by several guards.
After passing through many corridors and courtyards, he saw the First Temple Master meditating in a secret room.
The First Temple Master did not wear luxurious clothes. He only wore a simple and plain black robe. He sat cross-legged on an altar in the secret room that was surrounded by Divine Power.
He had spent a large amount of Emperor-level refining materials to create the altar. It was an Emperor-level treasure that was extremely beneficial to the cultivation of experts.
The First Palace Master sat at the top of the altar and looked down at the Second Palace Master who had entered the secret chamber. He asked in a deep voice, "What is it that you can't make up your mind and came to find me?"
When he asked this question, he was already mentally prepared and guessed that something big was going to happen.
Moreover, this matter was very likely related to the hidden battle.
As expected.
Second Lord bowed and said: "Something has happened in the southern region where the hidden battlecruisers were patrolling. A mysterious expert destroyed the town and abducted tens of thousands of people in a few days. "
The First Palace Master furrowed his brows as a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. Somewhat surprised, he asked in a deep voice, "There's actually such a thing?"
The Second Palace Master nodded and quickly passed the communication jade strip that Qian Zhan sent to the First Palace Master.
The First Palace Master took the jade scroll. After checking the contents, he was shocked. His eyes were filled with anger.
"Damn bastard, how dare he commit crimes in my territory. I will make him suffer a fate worse than death!"
The Second Palace Master nodded in agreement and reported: "First Palace Master, I have already given the order to send the Fourth Palace Master, the Fifth Palace Master, and the Sixth Palace Master to search for the culprit in the southern region."
The First Palace Master raised his eyebrows and asked: "You handled it very well and in a timely manner. However, I'm afraid that you came to find me for more than just this, right?"
The Second Palace Master nodded again and took out a piece of golden paper and handed it to the First Palace Master.
"Look at this pattern. They found it at the scene. It should be a mark left by the culprit."
The First Palace Master understood that many experts would leave some marks or special marks at the scene after they killed someone or set fire to it.
Some of them did it to show their identity and their ferocity.
Some did it to commemorate or to announce something to the world.
No matter what the culprit's purpose was, as long as there was a mark, there would be a trace.
The First Palace Master reached out to take the golden paper. His eyes were immediately attracted by the circular pattern and he could not look away.
He looked at it silently for a long time before he put away the golden paper. He looked at the Second Palace Master with a grave expression and asked: "Are you sure that they found this mark at the scene?"
"Absolutely." The Second Palace Master nodded.
The First Palace Master nodded slightly and put away the golden paper. He waved his hand and said: "I know. If there's nothing else, you can leave."
However, the Second Palace Master refused to bow and leave. He asked: "First Palace Master, you have seen this mark and know its origin, right?"
He had already made the decision to send the three Palace Masters to search for the culprit, but he still reported to the First Palace Master to verify his guess.
Now, the First Palace Master's reaction seemed to confirm his guess.
The First Palace Master glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "I know what you are thinking, but I can tell you clearly that it is not what you think."
"But …" The Second Palace Master still wanted to ask more to confirm the origin of the mark.
However, the First Palace Master raised his hand and interrupted him. He said in a low voice: "The mark is not important at all. Your goal is to catch the culprit or kill him.
Go. If necessary, you can go to the Southern Region personally. "
The Second Palace Master understood that the First Palace Master wanted to keep the secret and not allow others to criticize and make wild guesses.
He could not disobey the First Palace Master's order. He could only bow and leave the secret room.
…
Another four days passed.
Qian Zhan received news that in a nearby branch, tens of thousands of people in a city had been kidnapped by a mysterious powerhouse.
More than half of the city had been destroyed and turned into a mess of ruins.
The situation was the same as before. The survivors did not see the culprit, so they did not know what the culprit looked like or how many there were.
After it was over, the survivors saw a mysterious mark on the stone floor under the city wall.
The same story played out. Qian Zhan was furious, but he felt helpless.
He could only send a communication jade slip to report this matter to the Second Palace Master, the Fourth Palace Master, the Fifth Palace Master, and the Sixth Palace Master.
After all, the Second Palace Master had already sent a message to tell him that the three Palace Masters were rushing to the South and would help him soon.
After sending the message, Qian Zhan continued to wait for orders.
Another nine days passed.
Another branch also sent news that in a town under the jurisdiction of this branch, more than 30,000 people had disappeared overnight. No one was spared.
The entire town had been turned into ruins. It was very tragic.
When Qian Zhan received the news, he was already numb. He just passed the news step by step and reported it to the Palace Masters.
The next day, the Fourth Palace Master, the Fifth Palace Master, and the Sixth Palace Master arrived in the Southern Region one after another and stationed themselves in the three branches.
They did not meet with Qian Zhan. Instead, they followed the route of the mysterious culprit and surrounded him.
