Even with Martial King experts guarding the place, they were still slaughtered. This meant that the culprit was definitely a Martial King expert.
Their mission was to find the culprit and take him down or kill him.
The Northern Liang Mountain was located in the north of the eastern part of the Tianxuan Region. It was thirteen million li away from the Myriad Star City. However, with the group's speed, they arrived in three days.
First, they had to go to the biggest city in the Northern Liang Mountain area, Northern Liang City.
There was a station of the Emperor Heaven Divine Palace in Northern Liang City.
There were already two second-grade Emperor Heaven Divine Guards there to investigate. Their first task was to meet up with these two second-grade Emperor Heaven Divine Guards and understand the situation.
In the Emperor Heaven Divine Palace, not all the Emperor Heaven Divine Guards were like Lu Ming and the others. They were all young geniuses.
Among the Emperor Heaven Divine Guards, there were many older ones. It could be said that there were people of all ages.
The Emperor Heaven Divine Guard Selection held every five years was to recruit geniuses with talent and potential and nurture them.
These young Empyrean Divine Guards were undoubtedly treated much better.
However, the Emperor Heaven Divine Palace would recruit some Emperor Heaven Divine Guards through other methods every year.
These Emperor Heaven Divine Guards could join as long as one's identity was clear and one's strength was sufficient. There were no requirements for talent.
As for these Emperor Heaven Divine Guards, they were not treated as well as Lu Ming and the others. They were taught by the Palace Master. They had to rely on themselves to complete various missions for the Emperor Heaven Divine Guards and obtain various rewards.
Xu Zhong and Song Ke were both such Emperor Heaven Divine Guards.
Lu Ming guessed that Huang Jing should be the same as him. She should be a genius participating in the Emperor Heaven Divine Guard Selection. Judging from her age, she should be from the previous batch.
Soon, a desolate ancient city appeared before their eyes.
The ancient city was very majestic and filled with the aura of time.
The four of them flew in and arrived at the station of the Emperor Heaven Divine Palace. They also successfully met the other two Emperor Heaven Divine Guards.
The other two people were a white-haired old man and a bald man in his forties.
The two of them emitted powerful auras. With one look, one could tell that they were Martial King experts.
"This bald man should be about the same as Xu Zhong. He has reached the peak of Martial King Realm. He is the strongest among the group!"
Lu Ming thought to himself.
"Brother Xu, you're finally here."
When the bald man saw Xu Zhong, he laughed and cupped his fists.
"Brother Wang!"
Xu Zhong cupped his fists and said.
The bald man's gaze swept over Lu Ming and the others, and his complexion abruptly changed.
"Brother Xu, what happened? Why is there a little fellow at the Half-step King Realm with all of you? "
The bald man said.
Xu Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wang, this little brother is also here to complete the mission."
"What? Was he also here to complete the mission? What kind of joke was this? A mere Half step King? Are you courting death? Don't drag us down with you. "
The bald man shouted.
"Brother Wang is right. I've already told him to scram back to the Mission Hall and cancel the mission. But he was stubborn and insisted on following us. He's courting death. We'll just ignore him when the time comes!"
Huang Jing said coldly.
"Forget it. If he wants to follow us, then let him. In any case, we won't have the energy to take care of him when the time comes."
The bald man said. Then, he no longer looked at Lu Ming.
"They're really looking down on us!"
Lu Ming rubbed his nose. However, he also knew that it was normal for Kings to look down on cultivators below the King Realm. He ignored them and sat down on a stone bench at the side.
"Brother Wang, what's the situation?"
Xu Zhong asked the bald man about the situation.
"This time, it's mainly the Tianyun Sect and the Illusory Sword Sect that were attacked. All the cultivators above the Martial Ancestor Realm in the two sects disappeared. Not even their corpses were left behind. I'll take you to the two sects to take a look first, and then I'll tell you the details."
The bald man said.
"Alright, then we'll set off immediately!"
Xu Zhong nodded.
Immediately, the group of six headed towards the Tianyun Sect.
The Tianyun Sect was built on a mountain range.
Clouds and mist were faintly discernible, and the mountain range was extremely majestic. It was like a fairyland.
There were many palaces and pavilions built on the mountain peaks, and people were coming and going.
Lu Ming felt that the Tianyun Sect was at least ten times stronger than the Mystic Essence Sword Sect.
Thinking about it, it made sense. With a Martial King in charge, it was equivalent to an intermediate empire. How could it not be strong?
However, Lu Ming sensed carefully and did not feel any strong aura in the sect.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A few streaks of light flew out from the Tianyun Sect.
They were Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators.
"These Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators were not in the Tianyun Sect on the day of the attack. Therefore, they managed to escape."
The bald man explained.
Soon, the few of them appeared in front of the group.
"Greetings to Senior Wang and Senior Liu."
The few Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators of the Tianyun Sect hurriedly bowed when they saw the bald man and the white-haired elder.
"Mm, these three are also Kings from the Emperor Heaven Divine Palace."
The bald man pointed at Xu Zhong and the other two, ignoring Lu Ming.
"Greetings to the three Seniors!"
The few Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators of the Tianyun Sect bowed respectfully. Their hearts were trembling.
They were shocked that so many Kings had come at once.
"Alright, we still have to go in and investigate. You guys lead the way!"
The bald man instructed.
"Alright, Seniors, please!"
The leader of the few Martial Ancestor Realm cultivators of the Tianyun Sect was a scholarly middle-aged man. He hurriedly said respectfully.
The group followed the scholarly middle-aged man and the others and flew into the Tianyun Sect.
"This time, our sect was attacked suddenly. All the experts above the Martial Ancestor Realm have disappeared."
The scholarly middle-aged man said with a sad face.
"Moreover, the strangest thing is that according to the situation at the scene and the reaction of the disciples below the Martial Ancestor Realm, those Martial Ancestor Realm experts did not make a sound and disappeared directly. Only the place where the Martial King Realm Patriarch of our sect was in seclusion caused a huge commotion. There were also some traces left at the scene."
The scholarly middle-aged man continued to explain and led them to the place where the Patriarch of the Tianyun Sect was in seclusion.
It was a mountain full of Spiritual Qi. However, at this moment, the mountain had almost collapsed. There was a deep crack in the middle of the mountain. That was the scar of a blade that had almost split the mountain in half.
The group flew down and observed carefully. They also found some traces that seemed to have been made by iron chains.
"Iron chains. What kind of weapon is this?"
Xu Zhong frowned deeply.
"According to the situation, the person who attacked must be a Martial King Realm expert. Therefore, the Martial Ancestor Realm experts did not have the slightest ability to resist. However, the other party could not be too strong. Otherwise, the Patriarch of the Tianyun Sect would not have been able to resist so fiercely."
Huang Jing analyzed.
"However, according to the disciples, the battle was extremely short. It ended in less than a minute. After that, the Patriarch disappeared without a trace."
The scholarly middle-aged man added.
"Hmm, it's very likely that the other party had more than one King Realm expert."
Xu Zhong frowned and pondered.
Lu Ming also looked around carefully.
"What can a half-step King see? He's just pretending. "
Huang Jing snorted coldly.
Lu Ming was speechless. This woman must be crazy to always pick on him.
