Killing a person every ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles.
Leaving in a huff, concealing both merit and reputation.
This was a poem written by a famous poet from Duan Lingtian's hometown, Li Bai.
Not only was Li Bai known as the Immortal Poet, but he was also an outstanding swordsman. With his sword, he traveled the world in a carefree manner.
Li Bai's poem was slightly modified to suit Duan Lingtian's actions when he rescued Huang Qi Ling.
Killing several people with just a thought, the sound of the sword can be heard.
Leaving in a huff, concealing both merit and reputation.
After leaving the passage where Huang Qi Ling was, Duan Lingtian continued to sweep through the remaining passages.
After a period of time, new Human Demons were added to the various passages.
After sweeping through the remaining passages, Duan Lingtian began his second round of sweeping.
Naturally, the second round of sweeping did not last long.
"It's time for me to leave."
After Duan Lingtian's Innate Spiritual Root had transformed from a light purple to a normal purple, he decided to leave as well.
He knew very well that Duan Lingtian had already left.
Most of the Human-Devils who had died in his hands were elite disciples from various forces in the Human-Devil clan.
He had devoured many blue and indigo Innate Spiritual Roots. Those who possessed blue and indigo Innate Spiritual Roots were the cream of the crop in the Human-Devil clan.
If he continued to stay here, there was a high chance he would not be able to leave.
Although he was very confident in his current strength, he wasn't confident enough to think that he could go against the entire Human-Devil Clan!
Although everything was calm now, Duan Lingtian knew very well that this was not the end.
This was just the calm before the storm.
It would not be long before the entire Human-Devil clan would be in an uproar because of the Human-Devils he had killed.
"They're not here?"
When Duan Lingtian reappeared in the stone forest, he looked around. However, he did not see anyone targeting him.
Initially, he thought the three elders of the Wandering Saint Palace who he had killed earlier would be waiting for him to come out. However, he did not even encounter a single person who was targeting him.
Regarding this, he could not help but feel puzzled.
If he was the senior of any of the three Wandering Saint Palace's disciples, he would definitely be waiting for them to show up.
"Could it be that Huang Wen Jing intervened?"
Duan Lingtian was not a fool. He easily guessed this, and the more he guessed, the more certain he became.
For a moment, Duan Lingtian could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Initially, Duan Ling Tian thought if the three elders from the Wandering Saint Palace really came, he could use them to test the power of the Elementary Devouring Tactic that he had comprehended to its peak.
Who would have thought that Huang Wenjing would ruin it halfway through?
"Although I don't fear them with my current strength … I still owe you a favor."
Duan Lingtian murmured.
His words were clearly directed at Huang Wen Jing.
"Hmm?"
All of a sudden, Duan Lingtian seemed to have sensed something and abruptly looked towards the north.
That was where the Human-Devil Saint City was located.
"Someone's finally here?"
As Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself, his body swayed and he seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Not long after Duan Ling Tian's figure disappeared.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
The sound of air being torn apart rang in the air as several figures flew over from the Human-Devil Saint City. In just a blink of an eye, they arrived in the sky above the stone forest.
These people were divided into two groups that arrived one after another.
The first group of people was led by a tall and sturdy young man. The few people behind him were also burly men with strong backs and waists. They emitted a murderous aura and an invisible oppressive aura.
The young man leading the group was wearing a blue robe. Although the blue robe was spacious, it seemed to have become a tight fit on his body, revealing the outline of the muscles all over his body.
At this moment, his face that was as firm as steel was incomparably gloomy. It was so gloomy that it seemed as if water would drip from it.
The second group of people was led by a skinny old man.
There were three middle-aged men, one young man, and a beautiful woman behind the old man.
At this moment, their expressions were extremely unsightly.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the old man's eyes were glowing.
The old man's eyes widened as if they were about to spit fire!
The two groups of people hovered in the air above the stone forest. In the beginning, no one spoke or communicated through Voice Transmission.
After a dozen breaths, the beautiful woman behind the old man looked at the group of burly men in the distance. Her gaze landed on one of them.
She knew this person and was very familiar with him.
"Jiang Zhen, you're …"
Because the atmosphere was silent and oppressive, the beautiful woman didn't dare to speak. Instead, she communicated with the burly man that she had locked her gaze on.
This burly man was one of the people behind the blue-robed man. His name was Jiang Zhen.
"Did someone from the Great Spirit Palace die here?"
The beautiful woman asked through Voice Transmission before Jiang Zhen could reply.
She recognized the leader of the group of burly men. He was a powerhouse at the peak of the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage from the Great Spirit Palace, one of the Three Palaces and Six Halls in the Human-Devil clan.
Xing Yuan Ba!
This person was widely acknowledged as the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Human-Devil clan.
"Yes."
Jiang Zhen and the beautiful woman were obviously very familiar with each other. Facing the beautiful woman's voice transmission, he promptly responded to her.
"Lord Xing Yuan Ba personally made a move … Who died?"
After receiving confirmation, the beautiful woman could not help but secretly gasp. While her heart was filled with curiosity, she continued to ask through Voice Transmission.
"It's Lord Xing Yuan Ba's only son."
Jiang Zhen smiled wryly through Voice Transmission.
The beautiful woman's eyes widened when she heard Jiang Zhen's words.
Xing Yuan Ba's only son had died?
She knew about the only son of Xing Yuan Ba, the second strongest person in the Great Spirit Palace.
Although he was considered one of the best among the younger generation in the Great Spirit Palace, his innate talent was not bad. He was even accepted as a direct disciple by the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace.
Naturally, Xing Yuan Ba's only son was accepted as a direct disciple by the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace mainly because of Xing Yuan Ba.
If it were not for Xing Yuan Ba, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace would not have taken a fancy to Xing Yuan Ba's only son.
This was not a secret in the Human-Devil clan.
'No wonder Xing Yuan Ba didn't take the initiative to greet Vice Hall Master Gongsun until now … As it turns out, his only son has died.'
The beautiful woman thought to herself.
"Lei Luo, what happened to all of you?"
Jiang Zhen glanced at the group of people on the beautiful woman's side. Then, he couldn't help but ask the beautiful woman through voice transmission, "Did something happen to your Azure Sheen Court as well?"
Based on how Jiang Zhen addressed the beautiful woman, one could tell she was Lei Luo.
Based on Jiang Zhen's words, it was obvious Lei Luo was from the Azure Sheen Hall as well.
The Azure Sheen Hall was one of the Six Halls in the Human-Devil clan's Three Palaces and Six Halls.
The Human-Devil clan consisted of the Three Palaces and Six Halls. The Three Palaces referred to the Wandering Saint Palace, the Great Spirit Palace, and the Crimson Blaze Palace. The Six Halls referred to the other six forces, including the Azure Sheen Hall.
"Yes."
Lei Luo nodded in response to Jiang Zhen's question.
"Did someone die as well?"
Jiang Zhen's expression turned grave when he heard Lei Luo's words.
"Two of Vice Hall Master Gongsun's direct disciples and the direct disciples of a few elders from the Azure Sheen Hall who came with me have died … They came here today to search for the ruin that's suspected to be left behind by a Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master."
Lei Luo said, "We came here as soon as we discovered their Soul Pearls had shattered."
The Vice Hall Master Gongsun whom Lei Luo mentioned was the skinny old man who led the group.
The old man's name was Gongsun Jin. He was one of the three Vice Hall Masters of the Azure Sheen Hall. Due to his strength, he was widely acknowledged as the leader of the three Vice Hall Masters of the Azure Sheen Hall.
In the Azure Sheen Hall, his strength was second only to the Hall Master.
One could say that the leaders of the Great Spirit Palace and the Azure Sheen Hall were the second-in-command of their respective forces.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
A few moments later, the sound of wind whistling rang in the air again, attracting the attention of the people from the Great Spirit Palace and the Azure Sheen Hall.
It was a group of people from the Human-Devil Holy City that was hurtling toward them at high speed.
This group of people was dressed in fiery red robes. When they moved, their robes swelled. From afar, they looked like balls of fire burning fiercely.
"They're from the Crimson Blaze Palace!"
Soon after, Jiang Zhen from the Great Spirit Palace and Lei Luo from the Azure Sheen Hall recognized the group of people who had just arrived.
The Crimson Blaze Palace was one of the strongest forces in the Human-Devil clan, the Three Palaces and Six Halls.
The leader of the group of people from the Crimson Blaze Palace was a middle-aged man dressed in a fiery red robe.
The middle-aged man was tall. Although he was not as muscular as the people from the Great Spirit Palace, he had a unique aura about him.
At this moment, the middle-aged man's expression was grave.
However, when he saw the people from the Great Spirit Palace and the Azure Sheen Hall, his expression softened slightly. He took the initiative to greet the leaders of the Great Spirit Palace and the Azure Sheen Hall. "Vice Palace Master Xing, Vice Hall Master Gongsun."
"Vice Palace Master Wu."
When the middle-aged man leading the group from Crimson Blaze Palace took the initiative to greet Xing Yuanba, the Vice Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, and Gongsun Jin, the Vice Hall Master of Azure Sheen Hall, the expressions of Xing Yuanba and Gongsun Jin eased up a little.
The middle-aged man from the Crimson Blaze Palace was one of the four Vice Palace Masters of the Crimson Blaze Palace. His name was Wu Tianjin.
"Both of you don't look too good … Could it be that someone from your side also died here?"
