After Mo Yan finished refining the Yin Demon Flame, he chose to return to the Torch Dragon Hall.
Firstly, it was because the next operation was between Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun. They did not need his help and he could not help them.
Secondly, after Mo Yan comprehended the true meaning of the fire element, he could advance to the Void Refinement realm at any time. He did not want to delay it for too long.
Especially when he realized that Lu Qingshan had put so much distance between him and himself, his desire to break through to the Void Refinement realm became even more urgent.
As for Lu Qingshan, when he realized that the peach blossom mark on the Six Fire Daoist's body stopped in a small area after three days and did not move much, he roughly locked onto the location of the new branch of the Hades.
However, compared to the Pan's Gate, the new branch of the Hades must be much more powerful. There must be Divine Transformation cultivators among them. It was not something that he and Dantai Qingrun could handle by themselves.
Fortunately, Dantai Qingrun's identity as a Xiuchun cultivator allowed them to borrow the power of the Zhishou Building of the Western Region.
Half a day later, a detailed address was handed to the high-level cultivators of the Zhishou Building of the Western Region in the name of Dantai Qingrun.
At this moment, it had only been a few days since they defeated the Southern Region of the Hades. Dantai Qingrun's popularity had yet to subside.
Therefore, the Zhishou Building of the Western Region did not hesitate and decisively mobilized the cultivators to take action.
.....
In the gloomy main hall.
"Prometheus?" The Thunder Flame Hall Master muttered the name repeatedly and could not help but fall into deep thought.
It was actually his first time hearing this name.
However, his thoughts were completely different from the Six Fire Daoist's.
It was precisely because this name was very strange that he thought that it was not made up, but a real force.
This was because if he had just randomly made up a name, logically speaking, it should have been a very smooth name. Why would it be so hard to pronounce?
"This Prometheus must be a real force." The Thunder Flame Palace Master made a certain judgment, "A mysterious force hidden in the dark."
"Palace Master is wise." The Six Fire Daoist did not know how Palace Master Lei Yan made his judgment, but this did not stop him from flattering the Palace Master. At the same time, he asked, "Now that the Yin Demon Flames have appeared, the fact that 'Pan's Gate' is actually a branch palace of the Hades has been exposed. How should we deal with 'Pan's Gate' now?"
Yes, after he fled via the Spacerend Talisman, he'd utterly not notified his other companions in Pan's Gate that his identity had been exposed before rushing over here, and he'd really done it to the extreme.
"We're currently in troubled times. 'Pan's Gate', whose identity has already been exposed, is a hot potato." The Thunder Fire Palace Master's gaze was deep. "We can just abandon it. If we forcefully take it back, they might even investigate us and find out more about us …"
"Wait a minute …" At this point, the Thunder Flame Palace Master suddenly realized something. His heart skipped a beat as he looked at the trembling Six Flame Taoist below. He hurriedly asked, "How did you escape from the ambush? What were the details of the situation at that time? "
When the Six Fire Daoist heard the Thunder Fire Palace Master's tone, he also understood the meaning behind the Thunder Fire Palace Master's words.
His entire body trembled, and he quickly explained the situation at that time to prove his innocence. "I caught the three people. One of them was refining the Demon Flames, the other was distracted by his comrade, who was refining the Demon Flames, and the last one was chasing after Seven Fires. I decisively used the Spacerend Talisman to escape …"
The Six Fire Daoist's explanation did not make the Thunder Fire Palace Master heave a sigh of relief. Instead, it made his expression turn even uglier.
"Since that person dared to refine the Demon Flames on the spot, he must have a card up his sleeve. His comrade must also be aware of this. Why would he let you go because of this?"
"They … let me go on purpose?" The Six Fire Daoist's expression changed when he heard this. He said with a trembling voice, "Then why did they do this?"
"It's most likely so." The Thunder Fire Palace Master had already stood up. His expression was gloomy, and he was somewhat conflicted in his heart. "As for their motive …"
He could not make sense of the situation at that moment.
If the person who did this was from the Zhishou Tower, then the reason for letting the Six Fire Daoist go on purpose was very simple. It must be a trap. They wanted to follow the vine to find the melon and catch the bigger fish.
The main problem was that he did not know much about this force called "Prometheus". All the information he had was like water without a source. Hence, he could not accurately determine the other party's motive.
However, he already had a bad feeling in his heart.
Seeing the Thunder Fire Palace Master's solemn expression, the Six Fire Daoist was also very afraid and worried.
He originally thought that he would be able to make a comeback and rise to the top. However, he did not expect things to develop like this. The Six Fire Daoist felt extremely hopeless.
The atmosphere in the main hall was heavy.
According to the Thunder Fire Palace Master's thoughts, no matter what the other party's motive was, the best choice was to immediately evacuate all the people in this sub-hall.
This was because it was very likely that this location had been exposed because of the existence of the Six Fire Daoist.
However, this sub-hall was not a small, dispensable sub-hall. It was a large sub-hall that ruled over several states in the Hades. The price of evacuating people was very high.
He was worried that he was being overly cautious and would cause the Hades to suffer for no reason.
Just as the Thunder Fire Palace Master was contemplating the pros and cons.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion sounded not far away, followed by a ferocious wave of spiritual energy.
The Zhishou Tower was here!
.....
In the seventh year of Tianyuan, the Firmament Heaven was unusually chaotic.
After the Southern Hades was destroyed by the Zhishou Tower, the other Hades did not suffer as much as the Southern Hades, but more or less, they also suffered a great deal of damage.
This sudden blow made the Hades very angry.
This disrupted their plans and also caused the Hades to fall into an unprecedented situation of turmoil. For a moment, everyone felt that they were in danger.
…
In a secret place.
Several hazy black shadows gathered together in one place.
"Yesterday, a state-level sub-hall in the Middle Martial Domain was also discovered by the Zhishou Tower."
The leader of the Hades in the Middle Martial Domain, Ji Kang, said, "So far, except for the main hall in the Middle Spirit Domain, all six of our branches have more or less been accurately attacked by the Zhishou Tower. The Southern Hades suffered even greater losses."
"Detestable." The leader of the Middle Heaven Domain, Zhou Qi, said in a gloomy voice. There was an unconcealable ruthlessness in his tone. "This Lu Qingshan is really detestable!"
The leaders of the six branches of the Hades had always been at odds with each other.
This time, the reason why they had gathered together in a friendly manner was because they shared a common hatred for Lu Qingshan.
"Who would have thought that the Zhishou Tower couldn't do much to us even though we of the Hades had been hiding among the human race for so many years? Instead, it was a puny Lu Qingshan, a Void Refinement cultivator, who could torment us to this extent?"
The leader of the Southern Hades, Ziren, who had suffered the most losses, said self-deprecatingly, "The Southern Hades suffered the most this time. We need at least a hundred years to recuperate before we can return to our previous state …"
"At least the Southern Hades branch is a radish and a pit. You admit defeat wholeheartedly. What about us?" The leader of the Western Hades branch, Yulei, looked even darker than Ziren.
After the incident in the Southern Hades branch, an extremely important sub-hall of his branch in the Western Hades branch was also discovered by the Zhishou Tower.
With the Southern Hades branch as an example, he hesitated for a moment. In the end, he chose to bear the pain of cutting off his tail and quickly evacuate several other important sub-halls, at the cost of his own life.
In the end, from the development of the subsequent events, in fact, except for the Southern Hades branch, the losses of the other five regions were limited to one or two sub-halls. He was completely frightened and made things difficult for himself.
He had embarrassed himself greatly.
Even though the other Manor Masters did not say anything on the surface, they must be laughing at him in private.
When he thought of this, Yulei's hatred for Lu Qingshan became even more endless.
"We're already in a mess and have lost the initiative. The Zhishou Tower is seizing this opportunity to pursue and expand their victory," Manor Master Zhang Heng of the Northern Hades said in a low voice. "No matter how great our losses are, it's all in the past. There's no need for us to dwell on it too much. The most important thing right now is two things …"
"First, we need to stabilize our footing. We can't let the chaos continue. We need to stop our losses here."
Manor Master Zhang Heng spoke steadily and unhurriedly. "The second war won't drag on for too long. Once the Devil Master finishes his final preparations, the war will start in full force.
At that time, as the nail nailed into the heart of the human race, our most important mission is to restrict the human race and create enough internal strife to affect the war.
However, if the current situation continues, forget about posing a powerful threat to the human race, I fear that we won't even be able to gather enough manpower! "
The others were silent, but they all nodded in agreement.
In recent years, they had indeed gone overboard.
The lesson this time made them realize once again that the reason they had always made the human race suffer wasn't because they were powerful, but because they, the Hades, were 'rats'.
Rats could give humans headaches and loathe them, because they had always been stealing food from them.
But would rats be able to defeat humans?
It was impossible.
"Second," Manor Master Zhang Heng continued, pausing between each word. "Lu Qingshan must die, must die!"
Speaking of this name, even he could not help but gnash his teeth in anger.
"Regardless of whether it was the Sword Sect's order or Xia Daoyun's, since there are traces of him everywhere, he must die." Zhang Heng's eyes were dark. "Moreover, I even suspect that this information might have come from him himself …"
"How is that possible?!" Yulei subconsciously objected. "He's just a Void Refinement cultivator. How could he know such secret information?"
"Then tell me, regardless of whether it was the Sword Sect or Xia Daoyun, why would they pass on information about the Hades to Zhishou Tower through Lu Qingshan?
Is there a problem with them contacting Zhishou Tower themselves? " Zhang Heng calmly analyzed. "What is the point of pushing out a Lu Qingshan for no reason to them?"
"Also, according to our intelligence, Lu Qingshan's shadow has already been there since the Corpse Puppet Rebellion in Zhenjiang.
After all, he hadn't entered the Sword Sect yet, so he didn't know Xia Daoyun. Who was the one who provided him with the information then? "
"Because he's a Void Refinement cultivator, all of you subconsciously believe that he's just a puppet, and that there's an expert behind him." Zhang Heng raised his voice. "However, if you calm down a bit and think about it carefully, you'll realize that there are many areas where this speculation doesn't make sense …"
Zhang Heng's words made everyone fall silent.
After thinking about it carefully, they had no choice but to admit that Zhang Heng's words made a lot of sense. They were the ones who had misunderstood.
"In any case, regardless of whether there's an expert behind him or if he has some kind of secret, this Lu Qingshan has no reason to live." The leader of the Southern Hades, Manor Head Ziren, was the first to break the silence. "As long as he's still alive in this world, I'll feel uncomfortable all over."
A Void Refinement cultivator was able to make these Manor Heads, who held high positions and were extremely shrewd, hate him to the bone. He was truly an extremely capable person.
"The problem is, this Lu Qingshan has already vanished without a trace. He's wandering around as if he's evaporated into thin air." Zhou Qi furrowed his brows and asked, "We can't even find him. How are we supposed to kill him?"
"Yulei, what did your side say?" Manor Head Ziren asked.
"We couldn't find him," Yulei replied in a muffled voice. "The world is so big. Finding a cultivator who purposely hides his identity and tracks is easier said than done. Not to mention that he's been wandering around the continents. Finding him is like finding a needle in a haystack."
"Wen He, what about your side?" Yulei thought for a moment and asked again, "This Lu Qingshan is from the Sword Sect of the Eastern Region after all. The possibility of him returning to the Eastern Region in the end should be the highest."
One of the leaders of the Eastern Hades, Wen He, also shook his head and sighed. "I also have no news on my side.
As you all know, the Sword Sect's situation is the most unique among the Seven Great Dao Sects. With their structure, there's no way I can insert my own people into the Sword Sect. "
The others fell silent.
On this point, they didn't laugh at Wen He's incompetence. The Sword Sect had a total of more than three thousand people. It was indeed unrealistic to arrange people into the Sword Sect without being discovered.
The six Manor Heads looked at each other's information, but they still found nothing.
A sense of helplessness welled up in their hearts. Their emotions were still somewhat complicated.
This was originally their way of torturing the Zhishou Tower — making them hate their guts but unable to find them.
They didn't expect that one day, they would actually experience this feeling themselves.
It was truly the Heavenly Dao that spared no one.
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Everyone's expression was solemn. No one knew what they were thinking.
After a long time.
"Since we can't find this Lu Qingshan," Zhang Heng spoke again in a hoarse voice, "then we might as well not look for him. Why don't we just let him show himself?"
"Let him show himself?" Zi Ren was shocked. He frowned slightly. "Zhang Heng, what do you think?
I'll say this in advance. It's not that I want to discourage you, but we've already used this trick once in the Southern Mountain Range.
With the methods this kid has shown, and now that he's on guard, it's unlikely that he'll fall for it twice. "
He was referring to the scheme that made Lu Qingshan the most powerful of the Four Realms.
"Naturally, it won't be so simple to repeat the same old trick." Zhang Heng shook his head. "This time, we'll ask the Headquarters for help and let them lure Lu Qingshan out."
"The Headquarters?!" Ji Kang asked instinctively, "Will they be willing to help?"
Ji Kang was worried that the Headquarters wouldn't be willing to help, not that the Headquarters would be useless.
The other Manor Heads were the same.
They had full confidence in the Main Residence's bloodline.
"Although the Headquarters has always looked down on us," Zhang Heng said firmly, "they also need our cover to hide their identity.
If we suffer heavy losses, it's definitely not something they want to see. So as long as we ask for help together, they'll definitely help. "
"That's true." Yulei agreed. He was the first to express his support. "I agree with Zhang Heng."
The other four Manor Heads looked at each other, weighing the pros and cons.
After a while, everyone reached a consensus.
"I agree too."
"Me too."
.....
"Since everyone agrees with me," Zhang Heng concluded, "we'll ask the Headquarters for help together later."
"We had several opportunities to take him down before, but we missed them all because we underestimated him. Now, it's going to be so troublesome." Manor Head Wen He sighed. "Tell me, what's going on …"
Wen He, Yulei, and Zi Ren, the three Manor Heads who had attacked Lu Qingshan, couldn't help but grimace slightly. However, they didn't refute him in the end.
They admitted it!
Soon, all the figures dispersed, and the place returned to peace.
After the peace, there was a great storm, and sinister fangs.
