"Fiendish Cultivator?" Yao Zhan was stunned. How did this get brought up again?
Seeing his confusion, Elder Windless explained, "The edges of these leaves have turned black, which means that they have been invaded by demonic Qi. Furthermore, it has been less than twenty four hours. Combined with the traces left behind by the battle in the surroundings, the Green Jiao Dragon should have been killed by a powerful demonic expert!"
When he was young, he had come into contact with Demonic Cultivators. He knew that Demonic Qi was the same as poisonous gas. It had a corrosive effect on ordinary plants. Therefore, when he saw those leaves, he sensed that something was wrong. He burned them with flames and sure enough, Demonic Qi spread out.
This was the place where the Green Flood Dragon had fallen, and the timing matched. The demonic Qi was also so strong. No matter how one looked at it, it was clear that the culprit was not from the Immortal Subjugation Sect.
Yao Zhan frowned. "I saw Senior Green Flood Dragon's corpse being roasted by that Junior Martial Uncle with my own eyes. If he didn't kill it, why would the corpse be in his hands …"
"What if the Fiendish Cultivator who killed it is so powerful that he doesn't care about a corpse and casually tosses it away … but in the end, it's picked up by someone else and used that person's momentum to put on an act?"
Elder Mo Feng revealed his guess.
"Uh …" Yao Zhan was speechless.
It was not impossible, but there was no evidence to prove that it was true, and there was no evidence to prove that it was false. It could be said that it was a false proposition.
"I know you don't believe me. Listen to me and you'll understand!"
Knowing Zhang Xuan's thoughts, Elder Windless said, "I have been wondering why the Silver-winged Green Serpent is so huge. Even if it had shrunk down after being slain by an ordinary cultivator, it would still revert back to its original size after death. Why are the wings and body so small in the message you sent? Unless … he's killed by a demonic cultivator, and under the surge of demonic energy, his ability to transform back into his true form is completely destroyed! "
When he heard that the Green Flood Dragon's wings were roasted and eaten, he felt that something was wrong. If it was killed by a demonic cultivator, then everything would make sense.
"Furthermore, if it was really Little Junior Master who killed you, it would be very easy for him to kill you. Why didn't he do it instead of roasting the wings in front of you? He even purposely asked you to send the news back to the sect? "
"This …" Yao Zhan was stunned.
After the incident, he had also thought about this matter. It was indeed very strange. The other party had killed the Silver-winged Green Jiao and then killed him. For a short period of time, no one in the Wind Thunder Sect would know!
Yet, he chose not to do so and allowed Zhang Xuan to transmit his message freely … No matter how he thought about it, something felt amiss.
"If he's a demonic cultivator … he must be quite strong to be able to kill Senior Green Flood Dragon so easily. There's no way such a strong cultivator would be unknown. Besides, how could the Subjugation Immortal Sect not notice his presence here?"
Yao Zhan asked another question that was bothering him.
He had been in the Immortal Suppressing Sect for more than a day. If a demonic cultivator had appeared, there would have been some commotion. However, the Immortal Suppressing Sect was very calm right now.
"That would indeed be the case under normal circumstances. However, what if the demonic cultivator hasn't recovered his strength yet, and he's afraid of being discovered by others, and he hasn't been here for long?" Elder Mofeng asked.
"The elder said …" Yao Zhan narrowed his eyes as he recalled something.
"That's right. If The Great Demon of Bliss did it, wouldn't everything be explained?"
"That's true..." With a grim expression, Yao Zhan nodded his head.
If it was The Great Demon, even if his cultivation hadn't recovered, he should have been able to kill the Green Flood Dragon with ease …
"Something still isn't right … If The Great Demon killed Senior Green Flood Dragon, Junior Uncle or those from the Subjugation Immortal Sect should have noticed his presence. But … why isn't there any commotion at all?"
As one of the Ten Great Sects, the Subjugation Immortal Sect had never been courteous to demonic cultivators! Furthermore, The Great Demon wasn't a good person either. How could the two of them possibly coexist peacefully?
"The Great Demon has been sealed for eight thousand years. Putting aside how much strength he can still wield, even if he were to recover to Zongshi realm, would he be able to destroy the Subjugation Immortal Suppressing Sect single-handedly?" Elder Mofeng asked.
"He wouldn't be able to …" Yao Zhan shook his head.
No matter how weak a sect with ten thousand years of history was, it wasn't something that a single Zongshi realm cultivator could destroy.
"Once the battle breaks out, The Great Demon's location will be exposed. By then, countless experts from the Great Yan Prefecture will rush over to attack him. Do you think that he'll be able to escape?"
Elder Mofeng's eyes gleamed. "So, The Great Demon definitely won't reveal his location! As for the Subjugation Immortal Sect, their sect leader and grand elder have fallen. They're at their weakest now. Even if they can defeat the Great Demon King, it'll be difficult for them to survive. Thus, it's not impossible for them to come to an agreement and work together! "
"This …" Yao Zhan's body trembled. After a moment, he suppressed the shock in his heart. "But … these are all just conjectures!"
"It's easy to prove. As long as we can find The Great Demon and confirm that he's with Junior Uncle or those from the Subjugation Immortal Sect, it'll be enough!" Elder Mofeng said.
"That's right!" Yao Zhan looked over. "If it's true, what should we do?"
"Working together with a demonic cultivator is already a violation of the rules of the Sect Alliance. As long as we report this to the Qingyun Sect, the remaining Nine Great Sects of the Great Yan Prefecture will investigate this matter. By then … even if the Subjugation Immortal Sect doesn't perish, it'll fall from being a First Tier Sect!"
Elder Mofeng harrumphed. "As long as they lose their status as Nine Great Sects, won't they be able to kill Junior Uncle and elders as they please?"
Yao Zhan's mouth widened, but he was at a loss for words.
If that was the case, the Subjugation Immortal Sect would be done for.
"Alright, where's the residence you spoke of? I'll check it out right now! "Not wanting to dwell on the matter, Elder Mo Feng asked.
Yao Zhan pointed. "It's in that direction!"
"Un!"
Without saying anything else, Elder Mofeng leaped into the air and flew toward Zhang Xuan.
A moment later, a quiet residence came into sight.
Elder Mofeng circled around the residence before coming to a halt. Narrowing his eyes, he said, "For the Junior Uncle of a sect to choose to live in such a remote location instead of the 【Heart-Calming Hall】 and the 【Immortal Subjugation Peak】, it's hard to believe that he doesn't have any secrets to hide! If I'm not mistaken, The Great Demon should be hiding here … "
Demonic cultivators would release demonic aura when they cultivated. There were too many people in the sect, and it was likely that news of the Subjugation Immortal Sect would leak out. Thus, it was best for him to hide in such a remote location.
"Then, are we still going in?"
"There's no need to rush. Regardless of whether it's The Great Demon or those from the Subjugation Immortal Sect, they aren't people that we can deal with. Let's just wait here. I don't believe that they won't come out. As long as they do, we'll have proof …"
Elder Mofeng paused for a moment before saying.
Since the Subjugation Immortal Sect dared to work with The Great Demon openly, it wouldn't be easy for them to find him. Furthermore, it was likely that they had already set up a trap in the residence.
It would be safer to wait outside and wait for the rabbit to show up.
"Yes!"
Seeing how Elder Mofeng was able to deduce so much in less than an hour, Yao Zhan was impressed.
As a Righteous Sect, they actually colluded with The Great Demon. This time … the Subjugation Immortal Sect was truly doomed!
