Chapter 1017 See You All Again

The restrained divine messengers looked at each other with fear on their faces. One of the younger divine messengers trembled slightly, his eyes filled with fear. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! But...but we're only following orders."

The people from the Di family immediately asked, with a curious look on their faces, "Whose orders are you following?"

The messengers exchanged glances, and finally one of them closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "Yes, it's true..."

But before he could finish his words, his heart suddenly exploded and blood splattered everywhere.

Several other messengers of God also died in the same way.

This sudden change made everyone stunned in place. The cave suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of blood dripping onto the ground, like a devil's countdown.

Luo Li's pupils suddenly shrank, and she immediately went forward to check, but the gods' messengers had already died, their deaths were miserable.

"What's going on?!" Xie Shiyuan angrily swung the whip, and the tip of the whip cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound. She really couldn't understand why something unexpected happened at this critical moment when she was about to expose Yan Ye.

Wen Xingyan's face was gloomy. He squatted down and carefully observed the bodies of the gods' messengers, trying to find a clue.

After a long moment, he slowly stood up and shook his head: "This is definitely not an ordinary self-destruction method, it's more like a... triggered restriction."

"Restriction?" Xuan Mu repeated with a frown. It must have been Yan Ye who did it again, in order not to expose himself.

The elder of Yaochi Holy Land was furious and plunged his sword into the ground fiercely: "These thieves are just one step away from knowing the truth!"

He raised his head and looked at Luo Li, "Young Master Luo Li, what should we do now?"

Luo Li took a deep breath and said calmly, "Let's take these people's bodies back first. Perhaps we can find other clues from them. After all, the only thing that's noticeable on them is the mark of the Ninth Heaven's Divine Envoy."

She looked at everyone with a firm gaze, "But no matter how the force behind this is hiding, or whether it is from the Ninth Heaven, we must investigate and not make arbitrary decisions."

As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect echoed them, saying, "Young Master Luo Li is right. This matter must not be allowed to rest. These people have committed such heinous crimes. If we don't expose the person behind this, how can we be worthy of those innocent disciples who died?"

Everyone nodded in agreement and immediately began to deal with the bodies of these people.

Luo Li looked at the busy crowd in front of her, her eyes moving.

The seeds of doubt have been planted. From today on, other forces will probably pay special attention to the areas within their own territories that have been demarcated by the Ninth Heaven.

Luo Li turned her head and looked around, and saw a bright light coming from the altar.

She was a little confused and walked over.

Xie Shiyuan and the others also followed with some surprise.

On the altar, where the untransformed demon seeds dissipated, a black crystal core-like object similar to the inner elixir of a demon beast emitted a faint light in the center of the altar.

Xie Shiyuan and the other two were a little puzzled. "What is this?"

Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "Magic core."

She stretched out her hand and carefully picked up the magic core. In an instant, a cold and evil force came from her fingertips.

She mobilized her soul power to resist, her brow furrowed. "This demon core is not simple. The magical fluctuations contained in it are even more powerful than the demon species we encountered before. Fortunately, we stopped it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

Wen Xingyan leaned in to observe, his expression serious. "Could this be related to their plan to transform demon species? Perhaps this is the key item."

Luo Li explained, "The magic core is to the demon seed what the inner elixir is to the demon beast. The demon seed that failed to transform is dead and cannot die again. The only function of this magic core now is to refine spiritual weapons."

"Huh?!" Xie Shiyuan exclaimed in surprise, "This thing can also be used to refine spiritual weapons?! Wouldn't it allow demonic energy to penetrate into the spiritual weapon?"

Luo Li nodded slightly, her expression solemn. "The magic core can indeed be used to refine spiritual weapons, but the process is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, the demonic energy will get out of control and corrode the refiner and everything around them. But if successful, the power of this spiritual weapon will be beyond imagination."

She gently turned the magic core in her hand, and the strange patterns on the magic core were faintly visible in the dim light.

Xuan Mu stroked his chin and said, "Then this thing can only be taken away by you, A'li. Perhaps you can refine some powerful spiritual weapon from it."

Xie Shiyuan and Wen Xingyan also nodded, "Support."

Luo Li had the same idea, so she stopped procrastinating and put the magic core away.

At this time, other forces had also figured out the origins of those people.

Some were shocked:

"It really is the Divine Emissary of the Ninth Heaven! Damn it, could it be that this was done by the True God?!"

Someone was in a trance:

"Oh my god, if it was really the True God who ordered this, what if he attacks us again later?!"

Some people are angry:

"Damn it, what on earth does Jiuchongtian want to do!"

When the people of the Ji family heard these discussions, their brows furrowed and their uneasiness grew stronger.

Since the true God ruled the continent of gods, he has always maintained superficial peace and order. However, the actions of these gods' messengers are now very different from the image of the true God.

If the truth of this matter is not uncovered, an irreparable conflict may break out between the various forces and the Nine Heavens.

"In any case, we can't draw conclusions based on speculation alone."

The Ji family's elder raised his voice, trying to calm everyone down. "The Nine Heavens are a vast power with a deep foundation. The actions of the True Gods are always mysterious and unpredictable. Without solid evidence, we must not act rashly."

An elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect snorted coldly, "Elder Ji Yuan, although that's true, the marks on these divine messengers cannot be faked. They committed such a crime, and the Nine Heavens cannot escape blame! If we let it go like this, it will be difficult for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to convince everyone!"

The elders of Yao Chi Holy Land also echoed, "Indeed, many of our disciples of Yao Chi Holy Land have died tragically and innocently. We will not rest until this vengeance is avenged! If the True God is truly the mastermind behind this, we will not fear him at all!"

However, some forces kept silent and refused to support anyone.

Luo Li watched coldly from the side. The various forces were in dire straits and it was really lively.

Luo Li watched the argument coldly, thinking to herself that these forces seemed to be united in hatred of the enemy, but in fact they had their own thoughts.

The Wanjian Sect and Yaochi Holy Land were taking a hardline stance, eager to challenge Jiuchongtian, presumably hoping to use this opportunity to enhance their own prestige and suppress Jiuchongtian's rule over the Continent of the Gods. However, perhaps because they had been at the top of the continent for too long, they had forgotten Yan Ye's true strength.

As for those forces that remain silent, they are either afraid of the might of the Ninth Heaven or waiting for the situation to become clearer so that they can reap the benefits.

Luo Li narrowed her eyes, turned around and said, "Now that things here are over, I will leave the city first. See you all later."

Her sudden words caught everyone present off guard.
