PUFF! PUFF! PUFF!
One figure after another was shattered by the fiery light.
Among them, dozens of afterimages suddenly fled into the distance.
"Duan Tianhong! You and your brother killed cultivators from the same empire! Once this matter is exposed, the Duan Clan will be exterminated! "
"The Duan Clan! You don't deserve to be called a pillar of the empire! "
Some of the fleeing figures were like lightning, some were like ghosts, and some were like clumps of flesh and blood.
Almost all of the grand cultivators from the Scarlet Sun Empire were at the Nuance realm and Yin Soul realm. They were severely injured the moment they escaped from the sword marks.
There were also some whose soul wills and spiritual senses had been killed while they were still inside the sword marks in a muddle-headed state.
They died unjustly and inexplicably.
The sword marks on the walls of the pool contained the wonders of heaven and earth. The Nuance realm and Yin Soul realm cultivators of the Scarlet Sun Empire felt as if they were in a foreign realm the moment they entered. They were confused and didn't know what to do.
In the end, they were at the mercy of the Duan Tianhong.
Those who managed to escape were severely injured. Knowing that they weren't a match for the Duan Tianhong brothers, they could only flee.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The god of fire that Duan Tianxi had transformed into split into seven and chased after the numerous glowing figures.
Duan Tianhong stood where he was, and the lava pool suddenly rose into the sky.
Many fiery crystals fell from the edge of the lava pool.
Every single one of the translucent, fiery crystals contained a soul that was struggling in pain. They seemed to be begging for Duan Tianhong's forgiveness.
Duan Tianhong remained unmoved.
Yu Yuan stood quietly, sensing the slightest change in the sword light in his arm bone.
All of a sudden, he had a mysterious feeling by relying on the sword light.
It was as if someone was secretly observing him from the sky.
He subconsciously looked up into the sky.
The night had long since faded, and the sun was high in the sky.
He stared at the clusters of clouds, feeling that there was someone hiding within.
However, with his cultivation level, he couldn't see through it no matter how hard he tried, unable to see through it.
"Sectmaster Qin."
After a moment of hesitation, he called out softly.
Qin Yun, whose attention had been focused on the battle in front of him, was taken aback. He turned his head to look at him and said, "What's wrong?"
"Do you see those clusters of clouds in the sky?" Yu Yuan asked.
Qin Yun took a glance and nodded slightly. "I saw it."
"I feel that someone is hiding inside." Yu Yuan frowned. "My realm is low. After the restriction of this world is gone, I can't sense the secrets here. Sovereign Qin, can you help me … "
"Alright!"
Before he could finish, Qin Yun of the Seven Divinities Sect agreed.
In the next instant, a pure soul thought suddenly rose into the sky!
Yu Yuan could clearly sense it with his heavenly soul.
Li Yuchan, who was sitting quietly and secretly preparing to circulate the Heroic Soul Technique, also sensed it and looked at the clouds in surprise.
After Qin Yun's pure soul thought soared several hundred meters into the sky, it suddenly materialized.
It condensed into a soul that could be sensed by a Subtle realm expert and clearly seen by a Yin Spirit realm expert.
The illusory soul floated in the air as it attempted to enter the clusters of clouds.
Bang!
Qin Yun's soul seemed to have collided with an invisible wall of air and was bounced back.
Within the Soul Pool, Qin Yun's main body revealed a look of shock. He exclaimed, "Yu Yuan, your guess is right! There's definitely something wrong with those clusters of clouds! "
"What's wrong?" Yu Yuan asked curiously.
"There's a barrier that's preventing my soul thought from penetrating, so I can't see the truth!" Qin Yun's expression was grave. "After the Heaven Sealing Soul Dissipation Formation was dispelled, could there be another powerful soul like Emperor Hantian and Heavenly Demon Green Nightmare that escaped and hibernated in the clouds in the sky?"
"It can't be, right?" Li Yuchan was alarmed.
She also subconsciously looked at the sky.
Deep within the dense clusters of clouds, there was a blank scroll hanging high up in the sky. Her Majesty, the Empress of the Silver Moon Empire, was nowhere to be seen.
As the ruler of a country, Her Majesty's Yin Spirit would not stay in one place for long.
However, the white-robed Yin Spirit of the Scarlet Sun Empire's Imperial Preceptor, who had met her here, had yet to leave.
What was preventing Qin Yun's soul thought from entering was the barrier set up by Zhou Cangmin. Qin Yun knew that something was amiss, but he could not penetrate it.
He also could not sense that the aura belonged to the empire's Imperial Preceptor.
As the Imperial Preceptor of the Scarlet Sun Empire, he was an expert at the Soul Traversing realm. Even if a Yin Spirit was present, if he intervened, he could have prevented the tragedy that was happening in the Soul Dissipation Pool.
With his attainments in the realm and his perspective, he knew everything about the conflict in the Soul Dissipation Pool.
He already knew that Duan Guanlan had secretly cultivated the Crimson Soul Fiend Art. He watched Duan Tianhong kill Wu Zimo and also watched the Duan brothers attack together to eliminate the other cultivators of the Scarlet Sun Empire who had come under his orders.
He had seen everything, but he had allowed the situation to develop in a direction that was out of his control.
He had not set things right.
No one knew what the Imperial Preceptor of the Scarlet Sun Empire was thinking.
"Yu Yuan."
He muttered the two words softly as he chewed on them carefully. His eyes were thought-provoking.
With his realm, he could see the outside world's Variant Soul Great Fey that had surged in from the forbidden zone's entrance. They had either transformed into billowing yellow smoke, a flowing stream, or a bolt of lightning.
They were all gathering towards the Soul Dissipation Pool.
However, the Imperial Preceptor's gaze did not linger on the Variant Soul Great Fey.
It was as though the so-called Variant Soul Great Fey were nothing in the Imperial Preceptor's eyes.
"Could the gigantic bronze coffin that escaped beyond the heavens be related to that kid named Yu Yuan? Why did Qin Yun's Azure Sun Arrow have four imprints that belonged to him? Also, Li Yuchan actually calmed down because of his thoughts. "
"What is this kid's background?"
Deep in the clouds, Zhou Cangmin was aware of every action in the Soul Dissipation Pool, as well as Yu Yuan and Li Yuchan's thoughts.
"Boom!"
The crimson bell suddenly flew over from the sky outside as streams of fiery light entered it.
Duan Tianxi's Fire God Dharma Idol dragged the crimson bell and stood outside the Soul Dissipation Pool like an ancient fire god looking down.
Duan Tianhong chuckled, and the terrifyingly blazing lava pool suddenly sank.
It sank into his head and instantly disappeared.
At this moment, the Scarlet Sun Empire grand cultivators surrounding the Soul Dissipation Pool had all been killed.
None of them survived.
"Something is amiss."
Yu Yuan glanced around with a strange expression on his face. "There were also several Yin Divinities from the Crimson Sun Empire, but they all died so quickly. Their realms are clearly similar, but the difference in strength is so great! "
Qin Yun's expression was gloomy as he said, "The combat strength that the Duan brothers displayed this time far exceeded what everyone knew."
Yu Yuan was surprised. "The Duan brothers were never this strong in the past?"
Qin Yun nodded.
At this moment, Duan Tianhong and Duan Tianxi accompanied Duan Guanlan on either side as they walked towards Yu Yuan and the other two.
There were three people on each side.
"Brother Qin, you won't help outsiders, right?" Duan Tianhong said with a smile.
"The people you just killed were our own." Qin Yun smiled bitterly.
"No, they were all outsiders." Duan Tianhong smiled from ear to ear. "Brother Qin, what do you think of the Lord Imperial Preceptor?"
"Why do you say that?" Qin Yun was puzzled.
"If those people were the Lord Imperial Preceptor and he wanted them dead, do you think there's a problem?" Duan Tianhong had a serious expression. "If I say that the Lord Imperial Preceptor knew that we killed them, or even instructed him to do so, would you still be enemies with us?"
Qin Yun was appalled. "How is that possible? Why would the Lord Imperial Preceptor want you to kill your own people? "
"You don't need to know the reason. I only want to ask you one thing. If the Lord Imperial Preceptor did not give you a reason and told you to kill them, would you have done it? "Duan Tianhong asked again.
Qin Yun pondered for a moment before saying, "I wouldn't have!"
"Those who walk different paths cannot work together." Duan Tianhong sighed. "What a pity."
