"I'm afraid it's not just that. Looking at the token of the Gao He Clan, this person is probably a direct descendant of the Gao He Clan." Mo Tian spoke indifferently.
When Liu Ming heard the statement, he took a deep breath.
Even if he didn't understand the Myriad Demon Continent, he was still very clear about the significance of a Celestial Phenomenon Realm direct descendant to a clan.
"If I were you, I would immediately take that scorpion and leave this place. The further the better." Mo Tian's voice echoed again.
Liu Ming nodded and his gaze fell on the few demonic weapons and magic treasures on the ground.
"You better not take these things. From what I know, the Gao He Clan is most proficient in tracking. The demonic crystals and spiritual materials that you kept earlier are fine, but these demonic artifacts and artifacts must be tainted with this black-robed kid's aura presence. If you carry them on you, the Gao He Clan will be able to track you easily. "Mo Tian continued.
Liu Ming sighed softly. He didn't touch the magic weapons of the man in black robe. He just waved his hand to take the storage magic weapon of the red-haired young man and took away the demonic crystals, spiritual materials and other things inside. All the things that had been sacrificial refined in it were thrown here.
With a swing of his arm, several fireballs landed on the black-robed man and the red-haired youth, incinerating their corpses into ashes.
After Liu Ming did all of this, he made sure that there weren't any traces of him left in the surroundings. His figure flashed and flew into the underground cave.
A moment later, a black light shot out and flickered a few times before vanishing into the distant horizon.
…
Not long after Liu Ming flew away, several bright rays of light flew over from a distance. When they converged, eight figures appeared and landed near the cave.
They were led by three devil cultivators. One was tall and one was short. They were two black-robed elders and a red-clothed young woman. Every one of them was emitting a Celestial Phenomenon Realm aura presence.
When the three of them saw the traces of battle and the scattered artifacts on the ground, their expressions turned extremely ugly.
"This is Young Master Ye's Jiumu Slaughter Ghost Saber. There is no mistake!" The tall black-robed elder picked up the black-robed man's black saber and said in a deep voice.
The short black-robed elder brushed his hand across the ground. A black gas rolled up and picked up the other artifacts of the black-robed man. The two of them looked at each other and had ashen expressions.
The red-clothed young woman waved her hand and released a red light that swept up the artifacts of the red-haired youth. She placed them in front of her eyes and examined them. Her expression also turned ashen.
The tall black-robed old man muttered an incantation, and a sparkling and translucent light flew out from his glabella, illuminating the surroundings.
A moment later, the old man opened his eyes and said with difficulty: "There is a very strong aura of resentment and death here. I'm afraid Young Master Ye and Young Master Fire Di have already …"
"Who did it? Young Master Ye's strength is already comparable to a late stage Celestial Phenomenon cultivator. In addition to Young Master Fire Flute, could it be that this was done by a Profound Understanding cultivator? "
When the other two heard this, their expressions changed as well. They looked around them with uneasy looks on their faces.
If it was really a Profound Understanding expert who killed the black-robed man and his companion, the three of them would be in great danger.
Right at this moment, light flashed from the tall black-robed elderly man's body, and an antiquated black mirror appeared in a flash. Light swirled over the surface of the mirror, and countless fist-sized black runes appeared over it, following which the figure of a slender man slowly emerged from within the runes.
The slender man was shrouded in a layer of faint black light, and only his face could be vaguely seen. He looked like an abnormally young man.
"Greetings, Supreme Turtle!" The two black-robed elders immediately bowed and kowtowed to the slender figure.
The red-robed young woman and a few devil cultivators in the distance also hurriedly bowed in salute.
"Within the family's Life Hall, Ye 'er's Lifebound Flame has already been extinguished. The Family Head wants me to ask you all, what happened here?" The slender man said coolly.
"Reporting to Supreme Turtle, Young Lord Ye and Young Master Fire Flute were killed by an unknown person in the Eastern Reed Mountain Range. When this subordinate arrived, the enemy had already escaped." The tall old man hurriedly explained the situation.
"So that's how it is. It seems the enemy is quite familiar with our Gauhe Clan. For them to leave Ye 'er's identity medallion, magic treasures, and devilish artifacts here, they must be a very careful person. However, if they think they'll be safe just like that, then they're looking down on our Gauhe Clan far too much. " The slender man sneered and raised a hand. He spread open his fingers and a white ring of light spread out from his hand.
The ring of light instantly spread out and enveloped the entire valley.
Under the envelopment of the white halo, the surrounding ground and void seemed to have been bestowed with life, jumping slightly. Wisps of grayish-white gas appeared on the ground in the originally empty void, as well as the remnant splendor of the golden sword gleam.
The slender man smiled and waved his hand. The white ring of light quickly shrank and gathered the greyish-white gas and golden sword radiance.
In the end, the white ring of light turned into a palm-sized talisman. One could faintly see the greyish-white gas and golden sword radiance sealed within.
"Supreme Turtle's Heaven Searching Art is truly exquisite. No matter how crafty the culprit is, he won't be able to escape from the palm of your hand." The tall old man said respectfully.
"From this aura, the culprit should be a Celestial Phenomenon cultivator. Moreover, he should be a skilled sword cultivator. At the same time, he seems to be proficient in illusions." The slender man looked at the talisman in his hand with a pensive expression.
When the three Celestial Phenomenon cultivators heard this, a look of shock appeared on their faces.
"However, the remnant aura here has mostly dissipated. With just this little bit of aura, you won't be able to track me even if my true body isn't here. However, I recall that you have the clan's Ten Lands Compass on you. With just the remnant aura, you should be able to sense the general location of the culprit. "The slender man said to the tall old man.
The tall old man was startled and immediately nodded. With a wave of his hand, he took out a palm-sized, greyish-white compass. The surface was divided into ten parts and there were ten strange demonic runes inscribed on it.
When the slender man saw this, he waved his hand and released a spell seal. A grey pillar of light appeared on the grey compass and a mysterious rune appeared in the pillar of light.
The slender man threw the talisman into the grey pillar of light. The talisman immediately ignited with a grey flame as if it was burning. The colour of the compass suddenly changed, turning greyish-white with a hint of golden light. At the same time, the needle in the middle of the compass spun rapidly.
But after a while, the needle of the compass was still spinning at a rapid pace, showing no signs of stopping.
The slender man's expression couldn't help but turn ugly. The tall and short old man looked at each other and quickly lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Pa." The talisman on the compass finally burned out and shattered.
"The culprit was extremely vigilant and immediately fled after committing the murder. At this moment, he has already flown out of the range of the compass. Continue to look for traces of the culprit near the Eastern Weed Mountains. I'll have the patriarch issue a kill order. Anyone who dares to harm a direct descendant of the Gauhe Clan will pay the price in blood. " With an unsightly expression, the slender man gave an order to the tall and short old man before his figure flickered and disappeared.
The tall and short old man nodded. After the slender man disappeared, the group immediately flew out of the Eastern Weed Mountains.
When the red-robed woman saw this, she hastily said to the two old men, "Fellow Daoists, my Huo Clan's Young Master Huo Di was also killed by the culprit. If the Gauhe Clan finds any information about the culprit, please notify us."
The Huo Clan was a vassal clan of the Gauhe Clan and was rooted near the Eastern Weed Mountains. Although it wasn't small, it was far inferior to the Gauhe Clan.
The tall old man said, "Rest assured, the Huo Clan has extensive connections in the Eastern Weed Mountains. We'll need your help in finding the culprit."
The red-robed woman nodded and the group sped up, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
… …
At this time, after leaving the Eastern Weed Mountains, Liu Ming turned into a golden and silver escape light and rushed all the way north.
He didn't hesitate to use the Void Sword Orb to display the Sword Kinesis Technique. With the help of the silver wings, his speed was naturally astonishing. In one breath, he flew for 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers before gradually slowing down.
In the following time, in order to avoid the people of the Gauhe Clan who might follow him, he didn't dare to relax at all. His nerves were tense at all times and he would change directions from time to time, specifically choosing some remote paths.
After spending half a year in this way, he finally arrived at the remote northern region of the Myriad Demons Continent, the Hidden Province.
The Hidden Province was a complex mountain range that was covered in snow all year round. As far as the eye could see, it was a vast white world.
At this moment, Liu Ming was hovering in the air, looking at the large mountain range that stretched for thousands of kilometers in front of him. There was a trace of contemplation on his face.
This was the border of the Hidden Province, the Tuo Zang Mountain Range. Looking from a distance, he could see a dozen cities or manors of various sizes in the mountain range. They were all far away from each other, and there were many hidden sentries or enchantments.
Around these cities or manors, there were many demon guards in various armor, patrolling back and forth.
After Liu Ming observed for a moment, a green light flashed on his shoulder, and his figure suddenly turned into a faint green light, flying close to the ground toward the depths of the mountain range.
With his current cultivation, coupled with the protection of the Che Huan totem, he naturally flew straight in without any hindrance.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, he appeared on a hill near a grand manor.
Looking from afar, on the wall outside the manor, there was a flag fluttering in the wind, and a large "Qing" character was engraved on it.
Liu Ming suddenly waved his sleeve, and a black talisman flashed out. It spun in the air, turned into a black light, and shot out, disappearing in a flash.
After doing all this, he sat down cross-legged at the top of the mountain and closed his eyes.
