The Arcane Sect's three Almighties had been reduced to one, and two of them were still missing!
Tsing Hui did not need to guess to know that something was amiss.
The Arcane Sect still had other bases.
The Scarlet Sun Demon God was most likely hiding in one of those bases, and the two Almighties were personally guarding it.
In the next moment, Tsing Hui's Primordial Spirit returned to his body, and he immediately pushed open the door. "Duanmu Tong, find out where all the Arcane Sect's branches are located. It would be best if some of these branches were newly established or developed in recent years. Don't miss out on any of them that have a bit of weight."
Seeing Tsing Hui's solemn expression, Duanmu Tong hurriedly responded, "Yes, I'll do it right away."
After instructing Duanmu Tong, Tsing Hui pondered for a moment before taking out the supreme Immortal Technique, Shadowless Stance, once again. After briefly comprehending it, he quickly entered the step of cultivating with the help of the Fortune Jade.
Before Duanmu Tong brought the news over, Tsing Hui had already ended his cultivation.
"There's a limit to Daoist Rhymes. Being able to cultivate Shadowless Stance to the Entry Level is already the limit. As for the Initial Level … I'll have to wait for the Daoist Rhymes in the Fortune Jade to accumulate for at least a month …"
Tsing Hui's figure moved, and in the next moment, the aura on his body rapidly began to fade. Soon, it became barely discernible.
Although he could still be sensed by others, the threat and strength he posed to others had all decreased by a level.
"The Entry Level Shadowless Stance … The requirements can't be too high. When this supreme Immortal Technique reaches the Initial Level, it can hide almost all of one's aura. When it reaches the Advanced Level, it can even hide one's sixth sense, spiritual perception, and divine instinct. Even if I stand in front of a peak Almighty and have murderous intent in my heart, that peak Almighty will not know anything …"
Tsing Hui was rather satisfied with this result.
While Tsing Hui was trying to use Shadowless, a series of knocks came from outside the door. Duanmu Tong had returned.
As Duanmu Tong pushed open the door and entered, he was about to greet Tsing Hui. However, when he sensed that Tsing Hui's aura seemed to have weakened greatly and was somewhat erratic, he was stunned. He focused his attention on Tsing Hui and sized him up for a while before he came back to his senses. "Grand Elder, you are …"
"There's no need to say so much. There's no need to ask so many questions."
"Yes."
Duanmu Tong replied respectfully, but he was even more respectful towards Tsing Hui.
The longer he stayed with the Grand Supreme Elder, the more he could feel the unfathomable mysteriousness of the Grand Supreme Elder.
"Elder, this is the first piece of information that I've purchased. It contains a detailed record of all the branches of the Arcane Art Sect. Even those small branches that only have one or two True Energy Realm experts in charge are included. I've also marked out all the newly established or expanded branches in recent years."
Duanmu Tong respectfully handed over a jade talisman that recorded a large amount of information.
"Alright."
Tsing Hui replied and quickly received the jade talisman. He scanned it with his mind and understood the many branches inside.
Through Duanmu Tong's analysis and his own observation, he quickly set his target on the sixteen branches and planned the route according to the distance between these branches.
"Come with me!"
Qing Xu said before directly riding his sword and flying towards the outside world.
He was a Golden Core expert. Moreover, due to the extreme sword principle, his Golden Core aura was erratic. Now that he had cultivated Shadowless, it was even more difficult for others to see through his flaws. Anyone who saw him would probably treat him as an ordinary Golden Core cultivator. Not many people would pay attention to the departure of such a Golden Core cultivator.
"Grand Elder, where are we going?"
"Just follow me."
Tsing Hui said and flew on his sword. In less than three thousand kilometers, he had already arrived at a branch. As he used the Aura Examination Technique to look at this branch, he could only see a few small fish and shrimps. In this branch that originally had Never-Ending cultivators, there was not even a single Prominent Divine elite. Now, not only were there True Energy Realm, Transformative Realm, Never-Ending Realm experts, even Prominent Divine cultivators had been transferred to the headquarters.
"You're acting quite well."
Tsing Hui said and then turned around and flew to the next branch.
The Meteorite Iron Continent was not small, but the Arcane Art Sect was only one of the eight major sects on the Meteorite Iron Continent. The territory it occupied was limited. Tsing Hui used a day to go around half of the Arcane Art Sect. Moreover, when he found the ninth branch, he finally stopped.
"These two auras must belong to powerful existences. It seems like this is the hiding place of the Scarlet Sun Demonic God."
Tsing Hui hovered in the air on his sword and looked at the encampment in front of him. He could clearly see two auras that belonged to powerful existences in this branch. In addition, there were dozens of True Energy Realm, Transformative Realm, Never-Ending Realm experts, and a few Golden Core Realm experts. These cultivators were either old and decaying, or full of vitality and youth.
Obviously, they were the elites of the Arcane Art Sect and people who were proficient in scientific research.
"The Arcane Art Sect is really determined and courageous. Other than the three powerful existences, I reckon no one in the Arcane Art Sect knows about this. These three powerful existences are probably prepared to sacrifice the headquarters of the Arcane Art Sect. Even if the headquarters of the Arcane Art Sect is destroyed, as long as the Scarlet Sun Demonic God is successfully built, the Arcane Art Sect will still be able to rise from the ruins with the help of the two powerful existences. With the power of the Scarlet Sun Demonic God, the Arcane Art Sect will soar into the sky and unify the Meteorite Iron Continent in the future. Even developing into a colossus like the Sword Shadow Sect will not be an extravagant hope."
Tsing Hui looked at the experts hidden in this branch and could not help but sigh.
"Elder, you're saying that the reason the Arcane Art Sect split their forces into two is to attract the enemy's attention?"
When Duanmu Tong heard Tsing Hui's words, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
Tsing Hui nodded but did not explain in detail, "There are two powerful existences of the Arcane Art Sect here. With my ability alone, I'm afraid it won't be easy to defeat these two powerful existences."
After all, he could not be considered a true powerful existence.
Perhaps in terms of attack power, he was already above the ordinary powerful existences. In a one-on-one situation, it would be relatively easy for him to defeat an ordinary powerful existence.
However …
Once he was surrounded by two powerful existences, he would be defeated much faster than any other powerful existence due to his lack of defensive means.
"In the past, I didn't dare to touch this treasure of the Lihen Heavenly Realm. After all, this treasure has the spiritual imprint of the Lihen Holy Man. Once I use this item, the Lihen Holy Man will definitely sense it. At that time, he will only need to follow this spiritual imprint to lock onto my position. Then, he will ask a powerful existence with a tenth order personal space to descend and kill me directly. But now … the Lihen Holy Man is still trapped in the void and I don't know when he will be able to escape. The Lihen Heavenly Realm is mine to use."
With this thought, Tsing Hui did not waste any more time. First, he activated the Spirit Wanderer Technique and used his Immortal Soul projection to investigate every detail of this branch.
It wasn't long before he'd already investigated most of the branch. Only the core, where the two great figures resided, was protected by an invisible force, and even his Soul Core was unable to detect it at all.
"Looks like the Scarlet Sun Demonic God is there."
Tsing Hui's Immortal Soul returned to its position and turned to Duanmu Tong, "Next, the two of us need to work together. We came to this branch not to find the Scarlet Sun Demonic God, but because the Arcane Art Sect is not as powerful as before. Everyone kicks a man when he's down. We have targeted this branch and want to take advantage of it. Do you understand?"
"Your subordinate understands."
"Mm, there are four Golden Elixir realm experts in this branch. I will disguise myself as an elite who has condensed a high-grade Golden Elixir, and you will disguise yourself as a local cultivator who has a grudge against the Arcane Art Sect. Our goal is to lure out one of the two powerful existences in the core of this branch. If we can injure or even kill one of them, our subsequent actions will be much smoother."
After Tsing Hui gave his instructions, he quickly flew toward this branch with Duanmu Tong.
Almost at the same time when the two of them appeared outside this branch, the cultivators in the branch who were constantly on the lookout immediately reported the news to the two powerful existences in charge of this branch, Shakyamuni Luomiao and Shakyamuni Jue Jian.
"Shakyamuni, there are two people approaching our branch at high speed."
"How is this possible? We have already prepared a sufficient disguise beforehand. Everyone's attention should have been drawn to the headquarters, Mount Truth. How could there be people who have actually come to our branch? "
"This … This should be a coincidence. These two people are only in the Golden Elixir realm. According to the information we have gathered, the two of them should be from the headquarters who originally had a grudge against our Arcane Art Sect. They originally concealed their identities and did not dare to act presumptuously in front of our Arcane Art Sect. Now that they have sensed that our Arcane Art Sect is in danger, they have revealed themselves. On one hand, they want to take revenge. On the other hand, they want to plunder our resources by destroying these unguarded branches. According to their conversation just now … they have already destroyed two of our Arcane Art Sect's branches beforehand!"
The Golden Elixir realm cultivator who came to report spoke with a hint of anger in his voice.
Hearing his words, the two powerful existences' expressions turned cold. "How dare they! It is true that our Arcane Art Sect is currently in a crisis, but we are not to be humiliated by any Tom, Dick, or Harry!"
"Shakyamuni Luomiao, please be careful in case there is a trap. I think it is better to send someone to probe first."
Shakyamuni Jue Jian cautioned from the side.
"There is no need. A trap? What kind of trap could there be? These are two Golden Elixir realm cultivators. I can kill them with a single palm. "
Shakyamuni Luomiao sneered.
Shakyamuni Jue Jian felt that his words made sense and did not say anything else.
It was only two Golden Elixir realm cultivators. To them who had cultivated remarkable abilities, it was indeed a matter of one remarkable ability.
Shakyamuni Luomiao's speed was extremely fast. It did not take long for him to appear in front of Tsing Hui and Duanmu Tong.
Due to the fact that the true experts of this branch were not easy to stop due to being exposed, Tsing Hui and Duanmu Tong had already advanced to the center of the branch at an extremely fast speed. It could be said to be an extremely inner position. Even if Shakyamuni Luomiao really wanted to attack here, as long as he moved quickly, the outside world would not be able to detect the slightest movement.
"Two little bastards, how dare you bully our Arcane Art Sect. Die for me, Blade of Annihilation!"
The moment Shakyamuni Luomiao appeared, he did not waste any time talking nonsense with Tsing Hui and Duanmu Tong. He immediately activated his remarkable ability. Countless wind blades that seemed to be formed by the power of space formed a killing vortex that swept towards Tsing Hui and Duanmu Tong in an instant. In the next moment, these two Golden Elixir realm cultivators would be crushed into pieces.
