At the side, Shu Yuan suddenly thought of something and his expression changed. "Junior Brother Yin!" With that said, he headed directly towards the back of the remaining half of the floating peak.
Everyone looked at each other and immediately followed him. Turning around the floating peak, they saw that the whole back of the mountain was in chaos, the spirit fields that were originally planted with spirit herbs were now a thick black, half of the broken part of the floating peak was left with a huge pit, the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator and traces of cold black Qi were faintly lingering around.
Yi Qing frowned, this black Qi was …
"It really is Junior Brother Yin!" A trace of sorrow flashed across Shu Yuan's face, instantly filled with anger. "Who on earth dared to attack our sect's Nascent Soul Elder, and even forced him to self-destruct his Nascent Soul."
Yu Luan's expression also changed, he hurriedly turned to look at a disciple behind him and said, "Go, inform the disciples guarding the exit of each peak, seal the mountain gates and guard them strictly, no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
"Yes!" The disciple immediately turned and went to pass the order.
Yu Luan's heart was also full of anger, he did not expect that the sect would lose a Nascent Soul Elder just like that, and on such an important day like the sect competition, he attacked silently, and even self-destructed his Nascent Soul in such a tragic way. The key was that none of them noticed, this proved that Elder Yin might not even have a chance to call for help.
He carefully looked around the charred back of the mountain, his eyes fixed on the black Qi that had not yet dissipated. "This is demonic Qi! Could it be that a fiendish cultivator sneaked in? "
His eyes darkened, just as he was about to fly down to check, Yi Qing suddenly reached out and pulled him back. "Wait!"
"Uncle-Master Yi Qing?"
"It's not demonic Qi …" Yi Qing glanced at the black Qi and said in a low voice, "It's demonic Qi!"
"What?!" Not only Yu Luan, even the Elders were shocked, their faces full of disbelief. "Demonic Qi! Uncle-Master, you mean this black Qi is … "
"The demonic Qi of the fiend race!" Yi Qing said with certainty.
Everyone's faces paled. When they looked carefully at the area surrounded by the black Qi, they found that they could faintly see the withered and corroded spirit plants in the scorched area in the back of the mountain. It was clear that it was not caused by Elder Yin's Nascent Soul explosion, but by the influence of the black Qi.
"To be able to make plants wither in an instant and exterminate all living beings, this … this really is the legendary Devil Qi!" Someone cried out in surprise. Everyone's expressions turned even uglier. Even the few elders who were standing closer to the front subconsciously took a step back.
This was demonic energy! In ancient legends, only the God Race could rival the aura of the Devil Race.
"Could it be that the one who killed Junior Brother Yin is a Mo … Mo … Mo Clan?" Yu Luan froze. That was a demon, not a fiendish cultivator. Not to mention their Gui Yi Sect, even if all the immortal sects joined forces, they might not be a match for it.
"No!" Yi Qing's eyes darkened, and he said with certainty, "If the demons appeared, they would not have left behind such little demonic Qi."
Yu Luan's heart relaxed, and he nodded. He looked down, and his expression became more serious. "Then these demonic Qi … what should we do?" If it was just ordinary demonic Qi, they would not be afraid. But demonic Qi … they might not even be able to get close to it.
As if sensing their concerns, Yi Qing directly took a step forward. With a wave of his hand, a red wall of fire swept towards the black Qi on the ground. Almost in the blink of an eye, the demonic Qi that was originally left on the ground disappeared completely. Even the originally scorched ground regained some of its original color.
Yu Luan was then completely relieved. He turned and gave a few instructions to the Elders, and then split up to look for clues about the enemy. Unfortunately, no matter how the few of them turned this destroyed floating peak upside down, they did not find any clues.
Everyone could only fly back to the main hall with solemn expressions. Yu Luan brought out the broken life token of Elder Yin who self-destructed his Nascent Soul. He wanted to use the remnant aura on the life token to investigate the situation before his death, but the spell also failed, he could not see who did it at all.
Fortunately, because of the competition, most of the disciples on the peak were gathered on the main peak. Dan Chen Peak was destroyed, other than Elder Yin who self-destructed his Nascent Soul, and a few disciples who guarded the peak were seriously injured, there were no other casualties.
But at that time, the Protective Mountain Array was activated in time, the other party could not escape at all, which meant that it was very likely that the person was still hiding in the sect. Yu Luan could only completely stop the sect competition, then seal the mountain, and start a comprehensive investigation in the sect.

"Demonic Qi? Why is there still more! " Lonemoon who returned and heard the situation was stunned, he turned to look at Chef. "Could it be that other than that Earth Demon who fell from the River of Forgetfulness, there are other demons in this small world?"
"Probably not!" Chef shook his head. "If there really is a demon descending to the lower realm, he would definitely be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, he would not easily make a move here." Just like the Earth Demon back then, although it did not have a physical body, with the abilities of the demon race, it was easy for it to reconstruct a body. But it did not do so, instead it resided in the body of a fiendish cultivator, not even daring to take possession. Because it was constantly suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, it did not dare to come out at all, otherwise the Heavenly Dao would eliminate it at the first instance!
"Not a demon? Could it be that there is a fiendish cultivator who cultivated to become an Earth Demon here? "After a fiendish cultivator reached the Soul Formation stage, if he could survive the Heavenly Tribulation, he could naturally ascend to the Demonic Realm. That full of evil Qi could also turn into demonic Qi. Just like back then in the Realm of Three Pristine, in that Immortal Ascension Pagoda, the cultivator that Shen Ying met who became a demon had already cultivated demonic Qi.
"If that's the case …" Yi Qing thought of something, frowned and said, "That person should not be able to break through my Protective Mountain Array, he must still be in Gui Yi Sect now, but I used my divine perception to scan the entire Gui Yi Sect, I did not find any trace of demonic Qi." Not even evil Qi.
"Impossible!" Lonemoon retorted subconsciously. "There's no one in this plane that you can't detect, unless the other person is not in this position …" He stopped mid-sentence, his eyes widening abruptly. "Holy shit! It can't be! "
It's an intruder!
But wasn't Shu Yi clearly competing that day?
"Don't tell me there's another one?" Was he here to travel together?
Yi Qing's expression darkened, just as he was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"Disciple Chen Wen of the main peak greets Supremacy."
"What's the matter?" Yi Qing replied in a low voice.
"Sect Master said there's an urgent matter, he invites Supremacy to the main hall!"
Yi Qing exchanged a look with Lonemoon, seeing him nod, he then replied, "I'll be there right away."
The disciple bowed, then turned and left.
Seeing that it was already noon, thinking that Yu Luan might have found some clues, the few of them did not delay for too long, just a simple meal, a cup of tea, and a few plates of snacks … and fruits …
Only then did they set off for the main hall.
