Retreat! Withdraw!

The martial arts practitioners' forces had come in a huff, but they were retreating just as quickly.

The first thing Mo Hongyun did upon returning to the Heavenly Palace was to find out Wan Zhi's identity. "Yan Qing, you've been in the Heavenly Palace for so long, have you investigated Wan Zhi's identity thoroughly?"

"Reporting to senior, I have been tracking Wan Zhi's identity. Wan Zhi appeared at the same time as the first demonic cultivator more than a thousand years ago. He always appeared in the outside world with a human head and a porcelain body, which the demonic cultivator mistook for a magic weapon."

Shang Yanting stood in the main hall and methodically explained the information about Wan Zhi: "We know very little about Wan Zhi, and can only infer that he may be related to the first demonic cultivator."

This creates an information gap between Shang Yanting and Mo Hongyun.

Shang Yanting was unaware that the demonic cultivator from over a thousand years ago was not the first demonic cultivator in the world; at most, this person could only be considered to have obtained an opportunity unique to demonic cultivators. Therefore, he did not expect Wan Zhi to have a higher level of identity.

When Mo Hongyun revealed this little-known fact, the hall erupted in uproar. No one had expected that Jiemie wasn't the world's first demonic cultivator. And after their brief exchange, they were certain that Wanzhi's strength far surpassed Jiemie's.

If we're talking about those who understand demonic cultivators best, then naturally it's the demonic cultivators themselves.

Some suggested that since the most important thing right now is to eliminate the scourge of Omniscience, why not send someone to find the Child of Annihilation? After all, he was a martial arts practitioner in the past, and perhaps there is still some affection between them.

Use the demonic cultivators to first eliminate Wan Zhi, then turn around and eliminate the demonic cultivators!

Upon hearing this, even a few demonic cultivators thought it made sense. Mo Hongyun's face darkened, and he slammed his hand on the table in front of him, shouting, "Nonsense!"

He looked down at the cultivators who were saying such things, "If we use demonic cultivators and then kill them, how are we any different from those demonic cultivators?"

It is absolutely impossible for someone to collude with demonic cultivators in order to kill Wan Zhi!

The argument was getting quite heated, and Shang Yanting had already stepped aside to watch them argue quietly.

Just then, he suddenly felt someone tugging at the corner of his robe. Shang Yanting looked down and saw it was Little Raccoon.

He bent down and picked her up. "What's wrong?"

“Dear host, if you want to know the clues to the All-Knowing, you can actually go and take a look at the Prisoner's Shore Pool.”

Jia Xitong said in a low voice.

Although she spoke very softly, martial arts practitioners are not only sharp-eared, but also have keen eyesight and keen hearing. As a result, the voice containing the keyword "omniscient" was immediately noticed.

What kind of place is Prisoner's Pool?

Uncle Carl, who had been calm and collected, opened his eyes and looked at the raccoon.

Shang Yanting also looked at her, his arms around her tightening slightly as he worried about letting something slip.

Mo Hongyun and Karl were leading the opposition against demonic cultivators. Although they were currently focusing on Wan Zhi, if Xi Tong were to let slip in public that she had rescued the Child of Annihilation, it would be a huge problem.

However, the hall fell silent.

All eyes were on the raccoon, and only her bear voice could be heard in the hall: "The Prisoner's Pool is the place that demonic cultivators fear the most. Legend has it that if a demonic cultivator soaks in the water there, he will immediately lose all his cultivation."

Jia Xitong replied, "But for some reason, Qiu'an Pool suddenly dried up, and Wan Zhi's reaction was particularly strange. He was pretending very well, but suddenly he exposed himself. So I think he might be connected to Qiu'an Pool."

Her words relieved the few people in the know. Fortunately, she didn't mention the part about saving Bai Yu Zhenjun and the adventure she took with him.

If Jia Xitong knew what they were thinking right now, she would definitely spit on them.

Whom do you look down on?

She's a master liar who can impersonate a system and even fool the male lead.

Mo Hongyun was not so easily persuaded. He looked at Jia Xitong, his eyes like those of an eagle that could see every minute detail, "Why do you know so much about Omniscience?"

His gaze carried a hint of intimidation, as if he could see through the truth in the other person's words at a glance.

"Because Wanzhi pretended to be a magical artifact and stayed here for a period of time."

Jia Xitong said earnestly, "I saw him give himself away."

He even slapped me.

Mo Hongyun: "When Wan Zhi was pretending to be a magical artifact, how did it end up in your hands?"

"Reporting to Senior..."

Seeing that he couldn't dispel Mo Hongyun's doubts, Shang Yanting was about to speak when Mo Hongyun interrupted him, "You don't need to say anything, let it speak for itself."

As we all know, although Warcraft can speak human language, most people do not understand its meaning; those who do understand its meaning are no more than a seven-year-old child.

It goes without saying who to listen to: a magical beast with the intelligence of a seven-year-old child or a cunning cultivator.

"I snatched it while fighting the demonic cultivators. Back when we were still in the martial arts territory, my master had already taken Wan Zhi from the demonic cultivators!"

Looking at the two groups of people standing ready for battle, Jia Xitong thought... both sides were acting foolishly.

How could he possibly reveal when he obtained Omniscience? Wouldn't that expose that they arrived at the secret realm left behind by the Five Gods even earlier than the demonic cultivators?

Mo Hongyun is too arrogant, thinking he would tell him such a thing; but Shang Yanting is a bit... does he not believe in his own wisdom?

"alright."

Karl slapped the table, bringing the conversation back to the main point, "Since Xitong has provided such an important clue, then all of you shall follow me to Prison Shore Pool and see what this forbidden place, feared by all demonic cultivators, really is!"

A large group of martial arts practitioners headed towards Prisoner's Shore Pool.

This place used to be like a paradise.

Although the people living here are all vicious demonic cultivators, and even if they become ordinary people, few of them are kind-hearted, at least this place has a beautiful illusion and is full of scenic views.

When they left, the pond on the shore had simply dried up. When they returned, the village had been burned down, and rotting bones were everywhere.

Deeper in, the Prisoner's Shore Pool had dried up to the point of almost cracking. Large and small footprints were left on the hardened soil, clearly indicating that someone had already made their way there.

They quickly located the boulder and the partially submerged mud pit beside it. Mo Hongyun immediately dispatched a small team down to investigate what secrets lay beneath.

They went down, and half an hour later someone came out and said, "Reporting to the senior, we found nothing."

Below is an extremely deep hole.

The deeper you go, the damper it gets, and at the very bottom there's even murky pool water. Without a water-resistant magic tool, you simply can't swim to the bottom.

Upon hearing this, Mo Hongyun handed a fluorescent purple water-repelling bead to the martial artist who was probing, and said, "Continue probing downwards."

There's really nothing left.

Jia Xitong glanced at the young man who was about to go down again, and felt a pang of sympathy in her heart. She could search every inch of the area below, and the young man would at most find a rotten bone.

Goodnight everyone~
