Lu Qingshan looked up at the blood-red mist rolling in the sky. He didn't answer Gao Tian's question directly. "Assistant Tower Lord Gao, do you know the origin and use of this Blood Qi?"
Without waiting for Gao Tian to answer, Lu Qingshan pointed at the disappearing blood on the ground not far away.
"That Blood Qi is formed from the essence blood within the range of the formation. It doesn't matter if the essence blood comes from humans or demonic beasts. As for the use of the Blood Qi …"
After a pause, Lu Qingshan asked, "Tower Lords, don't you think this process is very familiar?"
"Uh, could this be … the Blood Pool Reincarnation!" Dantai Qingrun was the first to react.
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"The Blood Qi covering the entire sky of the city is actually used to perform the Blood Pool Reincarnation Technique?!" Gao Tian was extremely shocked.
This was an extremely frightening thing.
Anyone with a discerning eye could imagine what kind of monstrous demonic beast the reincarnated Demon Child would be from the Blood River that ran through the entire Zhenjiang City and hung upside down in the sky.
Due to the arrival of Dantai Qingrun and Gao Tian, the surrounding cultivators who gave them space all sucked in a breath of cold air.
If what Lu Qingshan said was true, then this was really too terrifying.
"We must stop Hades from using Zhenjiang City as a sacrifice this time. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable," Dantai Qingrun said resolutely.
Gao Tian looked at the bloodstains on the ground gradually disappearing in an extremely strange way. He finally believed what Lu Qingshan said a little.
After a moment of silence, Gao Tian suddenly asked, "Tower Lord Dantai, can his words … be trusted?"
This was a matter of great importance. Gao Tian didn't know how a Foundation Building cultivator could know so much, but seeing how familiar Dantai Qingrun was with Lu Qingshan, he could only ask Dantai Qingrun to confirm his thoughts.
Dantai Qingrun was stunned. Her eyes wandered over Lu Qingshan's face for a moment before she finally nodded and said, "Trustworthy!"
After receiving Dantai Qingrun's affirmation, Gao Tian's heart was set, and he no longer hesitated.
Since the situation was so urgent, the most precious thing was time.
"Have the Spiritual Requirement Department take out the set of formation flags for the Nine Palaces Formation. With River Suppression Tower as the center, turn the surrounding area into a safe zone and gather the refugees in the city," Gao Tian ordered.
The Nine Palaces Formation was River Suppression Tower's trump card. It was a fourth-grade defensive formation. If a cultivator was in charge of it, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would need a long time to break it.
Although they were prepared to give up on the evacuation plan, Gao Tian couldn't just leave these mortals in the chaos in the city. Therefore, the only expedient was to set up a large formation to protect the people in the city as much as possible.
"Yes!" A Zhishou Tower cultivator immediately responded.
"Have the Sticky Pole Department bring us the information they've gathered in the past two days." Dantai Qingrun also quickly issued an order.
If they wanted to find the Hades cultivator hiding in River Suppression City, it wasn't possible to do it just by working hard. That would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
They had to rely on some information to follow the trail.
The Sticky Pole Department had previously issued a military order, saying that they would use the information provided by the evil cultivator to investigate some clues within five days.
In terms of time, only two days had passed. Because of the chaos, they were unable to continue the investigation.
However, in the past two days, the Sticky Pole Department still had some results.
This was their current point of breakthrough.
Soon, a cultivator from the Sticky Pole Department presented the information they'd gathered in the past two days. Gao Tian and Dantai Qingrun immediately flipped through the contents of the jade slips.
As they read the detailed contents of the jade slips, the two's expressions became somewhat unsightly.
The Sticky Pole Department's investigation method was to first roughly gather a large number of suspicious cultivators, then eliminate the unrelated people one by one through the method of elimination. In the end, only the most suspicious cultivators were left.
In the past two days, the Sticky Pole Department's work had only progressed to the first step.
Therefore, in the current information, the list of cultivators who might be Hades cultivators provided by the Sticky Pole Department was a bit too much to imagine.
With their manpower, they definitely wouldn't be able to investigate the locations of these people in a short period of time.
They needed to make a choice.
But what should be the basis for this choice?
Based on character? Or based on intuition?
…
Dantai Qingrun suddenly seemed to think of something, her cold eyes glanced at Lu Qingshan, and handed the jade slip in her hand to Lu Qingshan.
Gao Tian saw Dantai Qingrun's action, and looked at Lu Qingshan with a bit more thought-provoking meaning in his eyes.
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the jade slip handed over by Dantai Qingrun, but he quickly reacted to Dantai Qingrun's meaning.
He didn't refuse, quickly took the jade slip, and immediately used his spiritual awareness to read the information in the jade slip.
One by one, the cultivators' portraits and their specific information on the surface were reflected in Lu Qingshan's mind.
Lu Qingshan quickly glanced over these portraits' information, and finally fixed his attention on one of the cultivators.
This cultivator's figure was extremely tall and thin, like a bamboo pole, and his head was slightly sunken, like a plate.
This person was called Wu Lei Zi, a loose cultivator with Foundation Establishment cultivation base. Because he cultivated the most powerful lightning-type magic among the various types of magic, he could be considered a cultivator with a bit of fame in Zhenjiang City.
The Corpse Puppet Rebellion was a storyline that Lu Qingshan had experienced a long, long time ago.
In addition, the role of the players in this version of the main storyline was only cannon fodder, so Lu Qingshan didn't have much of an impression of this storyline except for a few core characters.
But this Wu Lei Zi unexpectedly left a deep impression on Lu Qingshan.
His true identity was one of the two Impermanences of Zhenjiang City's Hades, Black Wuchang.
As for why he remembered this Black Wuchang so much.
The reason was very strange.
For players, the more special and disgusting the boss, the more they would remember it, and the easier it would be to deal with it in the end.
This was because these disgusting bosses would often be researched by players and come up with countless strategies to deal with them.
Instead, it was those low-key and unremarkable bosses that would often cause players to fail miserably.
This Black Wuchang was the kind of boss that had disgusting skills in the Corpse Puppet Rebellion patch.
Black Wuchang, a magic cultivator with Full Circle Golden Elixir cultivation base in Hades, was a cultivator proficient in lightning-type magic.
His specialty lightning-type magic was called Earth Lightning.
This was a sinister lightning-type magic that was refined by gathering ten thousand years of gloomy and evil aura from the earth's lungs, and was extremely corrosive.
No matter if it was Diamond Body or Mountain Stone, when encountering the Earth Lightning, it would immediately melt. Most importantly, the Earth Lightning specialized in corroding flying swords and magic tools, and could be said to be the nemesis of sword cultivators.
As a sword cultivator, it was not strange for Lu Qingshan to have such a deep impression of the Black Impermanence, a sword cultivator assassin who controlled the Earth Yin Lightning.
