"Hmm, finally we're starting to take action!"
What Elder Fu didn't know was that Lu Tao had already seen everything they were doing.
But Lu Tao didn't pay much attention to this matter and continued with his own actions.
Lu Tao disguises himself as various races and travels through the various auctions in Yulongtian, constantly provoking conflicts between the three races.
They could either provoke others as humans, attract demons to fight back and kill them, or lure demons to a human family or sect, causing a great war between the two sides.
They either provoke others by pretending to be killed or retaliate against the pursuing humans, making the situation for the three races even more dire.
certainly.
During this process, powerful figures from the three races deliberately entered various auction houses to investigate.
Clearly, even after Elder Fu revealed Lu Tao's situation, other powerful figures still suspected that it was a Heavenly Court spy deliberately sowing discord.
after all.
If it were truly a late-stage God Emperor level expert making a move, there would be no need to use bait to lure big fish; they could simply slaughter unrelated demons at will.
Moreover, it wasn't just the demon and monster races that were affected; the human race was also involved.
This looks exactly like the work of a traitor from Heaven.
It seems they want to completely throw Yulongtian into chaos and muddy the waters, which is quite different from what Elder Fu said.
They are now essentially operating on two fronts.
but.
Lu Tao naturally wouldn't just act at auctions; he had countless opportunities to sow discord, whether it was buying things, exploring secret realms, or gathering to discuss philosophy.
However, conflicts that can be stirred up in a venue like an auction are more intense and more likely to spread.
In this operation, not only Lu Tao and his clone were involved, but also many other elders of the Immortal Sect joined in.
That's how it is.
Under the deliberate instigation of the Immortal Sect, the atmosphere throughout Jade Dragon Heaven became increasingly tense.
Especially as time went by, races, sects, and families were constantly being wiped out, which made the creatures of Yulongtian even more fearful and uneasy.
Many races and factions even wanted to escape from Yulongtian.
However, they were stopped within the Heavenly Canopy Formation.
Elder Fu did not want any powerful individuals who had obtained Lu Tao's opportunity to escape, so he had the disciples of the Tianyu Sect rigorously examine every living being who wanted to leave Yulongtian.
This indirectly led to increasing dissatisfaction among many powerful figures in Yulongtian with Tianyu Sect.
But Elder Fu ignored all of this.
He wouldn't care about mere dissatisfaction, even if the Tianyu Sect were attacked, or even if chaos broke out throughout the entire Yulong Heaven.
Nothing caught his attention more than Lu Tao's unexpected opportunity.
He had made the mistake once before and didn't want to repeat it.
"Jialantian Demon Clan!"
Elder Fu used the Great Dao of Speed, and in a few instants, he appeared outside a race.
Facing a race with late-stage God Emperors, he naturally wouldn't be careless or rashly offend them, and instead followed the normal visiting procedure to enter the Garland Demon Clan.
"Brother Jialan, I have something to discuss with you!"
As Elder Fu's voice rang out, the protective formation of the Jialantian Demon Clan was activated, and two powerful Divine Emperors of the Jialantian Demon Clan led Elder Fu inside.
"Elder Fu, please!"
The two powerful figures treated the elder with utmost respect, not daring to show the slightest negligence.
Elder Fu nodded slightly and entered the Jialantian Demon Clan.
Buzz!
After Elder Fu entered the Jialantian Demon Clan, their clan's protective formation automatically closed.
Elder Fu didn't seem to care.
In Yulongtian, no one dared to plot against him, and he believed that among those who were also late-stage God Emperors, few could defeat him.
soon.
Elder Fu was then led into the main hall of the Jialantian Demon Clan and met their clan leader.
The Jialantian Demon Clan, true to its name, is entirely covered in alternating blue and black patterns, exuding a fierce and malevolent aura. If a living being were to meet its gaze, its soul would be bewitched and plunged into chaos.
In particular, this clan leader possesses terrifying cultivation and strength, approaching the eighth level of the late-stage God Emperor realm.
Even Elder Fu dared not be careless when facing him.
"Brother Jialan, the main reason for my visit is..."
When Elder Fu met the patriarch of the Jialantian Demon Clan, he didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
Furthermore, it was mentioned that this was a decision made after discussions among the three clans, solely to find the murderer and prevent the tragedy of Yulongtian from continuing.
As a result, Jialan Tianmo did not buy it.
"Hmph! If you want to investigate me, then show me your true abilities!"
With a cold snort from the demon chief of Jialantian, who had transformed into human form, he suddenly attacked before Elder Fu could say anything more.
Boom—
In an instant, the two late-stage God Emperors engaged in a fierce battle.
"Good timing!"
Elder Fu did not hold back either, and went all out to test Jia Lantian Demon's cultivation progress and the level of his Great Dao through combat.
Boom! Bang! Thud!
Although it was just a test, neither of them held back.
Clearly, they both wanted to see how capable the other was.
but.
Since they knew they had no grudges against each other, they naturally couldn't fight in the territory of the Jialantian Demon Clan. Instead, they went directly into the sky and into the world to engage in fierce combat.
The exact details of this battle are unknown, but it tore the sky apart, as if the end of the world had arrived.
final.
After a fierce battle, Elder Fu departed gracefully, heading to the next demon clan, while the chief of the Jialantian Demon Clan returned to his clan as if nothing had happened.
"Elder, another demon has been wiped out!"
"Elder, I have received news that a human sect has been wiped out!"
"Elder, a mid-stage God Emperor has fallen from the Demon Clan!"
...
During the teleportation, Elder Fu received numerous messages.
These messages are all about the major events that have occurred in Yulongtian in a short period of time.
It is mainly related to the recent events involving the three races.
He didn't care about anything else.
And now.
From these messages, Elder Fu suddenly had some guesses in his mind.
"Hmph, it seems that the hidden expert is most likely from the demon or monster race, but we don't know exactly who it is."
Elder Fu's face was very pale, and he felt a tightness in his chest.
As a powerful human, he naturally knew the situation within the human race.
Generally speaking, even though there is a racial distinction between the Celestial Race and the ordinary human race, the human race will not engage in large-scale slaughter among themselves, at least not in Yulongtian.
Other races, such as giants, gods, and angels, are the same.
therefore.
Even if the powerful figure who secretly obtained the treasure from Lu Tao was human, he would not choose to attack human sects or families.
It is more likely that they will massacre both the demon and monster races.
Besides the so-called human nature, another reason is that the human race as a whole is indeed too strong.
The true ruler of Yulongtian is the sect leader of Tianyu Sect, who is of human origin.
Within the Divine Dynasty, there are also many human saints and powerful figures, accounting for nearly half of the total.
Moreover, they are relatively united.
therefore……
If the opportunity to obtain Lu Tao had been granted to a human god emperor, he would not have dared to slaughter the human race under any circumstances. If he had done so, he would have been subject to the human race's purging.
But if it's a god-emperor from the demon or monster race, then it's a different story.
The forces of the demon and monster races may seem vast, but in reality, they are divided into many different races.
Dragons, phoenixes, elephants, tigers, eagles, and so on—if you really want to break it down, the demon race alone can be divided into countless types.
The same applies to the demon race.
Therefore, if the god emperors of the demon and monster races were to obtain Lu Tao's opportunity, they could slaughter other demons and monsters without any psychological burden.
Anyway, they weren't slaughtering their own people.
As for whether they will be targeted by the powerful Saint Realm experts of the demon and monster races if they are discovered later.
There's even less to worry about then.
As long as the slaughter targets are demons without Saint Realm experts, no matter how many die, it won't bother the other Saint Realm demons.
If one becomes a demon saint or a demonic saint, they will be warmly invited to join their ranks.
same.
As a demon, he had no scruples about slaughtering humans.
In any case, with the Demonic Holy Realm faction backing them up afterwards, the human saints were powerless to pursue these matters.
Therefore, Elder Fu made this guess immediately after learning that the human race had also been slaughtered.
"I hope I'm not mistaken!"
Elder Fu's face was gloomy. He knew that these were all guesses, and he was not sure what the real situation was. He could only hope that he was right.
"Fortunately, it wasn't a mutual investigation between the demon and monster races; otherwise, they might have protected each other, but..."
Elder Fu suddenly thought of something, and his face became even more gloomy. He prayed, "I hope it's not from the demon race. Otherwise, given the nature of that Youmo guy, even if we find out who it is, it's hard to say whether he will inform my Tianyu Sect or keep it for himself."
Elder Fu was also somewhat helpless.
His original intention in revealing this matter was not only to resolve the conflict between the three races and to stop the hidden powerhouse from continuing to grow, but also to inform the powerhouse, through the other God Emperors of Yulongtian, of the importance that Tianyu Sect attached to that opportunity.
We hope that he will turn himself in.
He voluntarily offered the opportunity he had obtained from Lu Tao to the Tianyu Sect and to him.
This way, we can avoid a lot of searching and fewer setbacks.
But the result was...
The powerful figure in the shadows not only did not surrender, but even intensified his actions, slaughtering and destroying more and more racial forces.
In a short period of time, nearly ten factions have been wiped out.
This infuriated him.
"Ah, if only I were proficient in divination."
Elder Fu sighed helplessly.
The higher one's cultivation level, especially after coming into contact with the power of the Great Dao, the more humble one tends to be.
The power of the Great Dao is so vast and its uses so great that they crave even more.
For example, right now.
If one is proficient in the Dao of divination, one can directly use the power of the Dao to divine the outcome.
Even if we can't predict it, we can at least hinder its actions.
Why go through all that trouble?
Unfortunately, he doesn't.
None of the other Divine Emperor level experts in his Tianyu Sect possessed this kind of talent.
"Sigh, let's continue. I hope the Third Elder can return soon."
Elder Fu shook his head helplessly and stopped thinking about it, continuing to teleport to his next target—the Cerberus Clan.
"Woof woof—"
Elder Fu had barely appeared outside the territory of the Cerberus Clan, and before he could even begin his visit, a chorus of barking dogs roared toward him.
Two three-headed hellhounds at the God Emperor level were baring their teeth at him menacingly, as if they didn't recognize him.
Its whole body exuded a bone-chilling cold.
But their entire bodies were radiating intense, eerie flames, burning so fiercely that even the void hissed.
"This Cerberus clan really has great potential."
Elder Fu paid no attention to their barking, but was quite interested in the potential of the Cerberus clan.
The Cerberus clan is said to live in hell and can travel between the two worlds at any time, but unfortunately, the location of hell is unknown to the world.
Even a sage wouldn't know.
therefore.
When they were first born, all living beings in the world thought that the Cerberus clan was just trying to make themselves look good, and did not think that they really had anything to do with hell.
As a result, after their birth, they quickly became famous in the divine realm due to their terrifying potential and strength.
This is what made all living beings pay attention to their origins.
but.
Even so, Cerberus, the three-headed dog, couldn't give a clear answer as to where hell was.
"Woof woof!"
As Elder Fu approached, the two hellhounds continued to roar and warn him.
"snort!"
Elder Fu snorted coldly, and his immense cultivation aura pressed down on Cerberus like the might of heaven, instantly forcing it to the ground like two lapdogs wagging their tails and begging for mercy.
"Why should Elder Fu lower himself to the level of those two juniors?"
As a chilling voice echoed from within the Cerberus clan, the clan's protective array automatically opened, welcoming Elder Fu inside.
"Brother Dao, how have you been?"
Elder Fu cupped his hands in greeting and, without wasting any time, explained his purpose.
Then--
Boom!
A terrifying aura suddenly surged forth from the Cerberus clan, nearly breaking through their clan's protective formation.
But the next moment.
The terrifying aura then vanished.
Along with them, Elder Fu and the patriarch of the Cerberus clan also disappeared.
The two powerful late-stage God Emperors entered the Azure Netherworld and fought fiercely in the heavens, their terrifying power attracting the attention of countless powerful figures.
Even powerful Divine Emperors dared not rashly probe their souls into it to observe.
Only the God Emperor can observe from afar.
"Woof—"
The eerie and terrifying barking of the dogs was particularly piercing, echoing throughout the area.
——
"When will I be able to cultivate to the late stage of God Emperor and become as powerful as it?"
Far away, the Celestial Hound, watching the great battle through a telescope, couldn't help but utter a sound of envy.
Even though its cultivation speed is already extremely fast, it is only at the God King realm now, still a long way from the late God Emperor stage.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ling sighed and said, "Just wait, there are still eight hundred rules to go."
He Yuanshuang, Wu Ming, Lu Xuan, and others were also somewhat bored.
While Lu Tao was stirring up conflict among the three races outside, these seven had already completed their comprehension of 2,200 rules within the cave by accelerating time by 8,000 times.
They are now somewhat idle.
Their cultivation levels were still low, so they couldn't use their avatars to help Lu Tao like the other elders. They could only use telescopes to scan Yulongtian and gather intelligence for Lu Tao.
For example, Longma, Youmo, and Han Chengyan investigated the specific situation of other late-stage God Emperors.
Especially tracking Elder Fu's whereabouts.
"They're done fighting!"
As they were chatting, Lu Lan suddenly spoke up to remind them, and everyone immediately turned their attention to it.
Sure enough, the two top experts finished their fierce battle.
Elder Fu took his leave.
Elder Fu gained no advantage in this battle and was even injured.
"After investigating three more, it will be the Demon Desire Sect's turn!"
Everyone is looking forward to it.
Meanwhile, Elder Fu had no idea that there was another huge pit waiting for him to jump into.
In the following time, Elder Fu continued to investigate the late-stage God Emperor of the Demon Clan.
but.
Not every powerful figure they investigated needed to be fought. Some late-stage God Emperors with good tempers actively cooperated with Elder Fu's investigation to clear themselves of suspicion.
That's how it is.
One after another, late-stage God Emperors were excluded by Elder Fu.
His method of investigation was quite simple: he mainly looked at whether the person's cultivation progress and the degree of their Dao had improved significantly in a short period of time.
Elder Fu, Longma, Youmo, and others all knew quite a bit about these late-stage God Emperors.
All such powerful individuals had stagnated for countless years by the late stage of the God Emperor realm.
Perhaps in hundreds of millions, tens of millions, or even millions of years, there may be considerable progress.
But it's definitely not going to happen in just a few days.
therefore.
Elder Fu used this method to conduct the investigation.
While this screening method cannot be said to be completely error-free, it is at least a relatively appropriate approach.
If it is true that a late-stage God Emperor obtained an opportunity from Lu Tao and then rapidly increased his cultivation in a short period of time, it would be extremely difficult to deceive powerful peers like them.
also.
Such a screening can be seen as a way of interrupting the actions of the powerful figures in the shadows, making them wary.
As for those forces that have now been wiped out...
Elder Fu was unsure what was going on. Was the powerful figure simply too reckless, or were there spies from the Heavenly Court taking advantage of the chaos?
"How come there isn't even a single clue?"
While conducting his investigation, Elder Fu also kept an eye on the investigation progress of other powerful individuals.
But as more and more late-stage God Emperors were investigated, Elder Fu's heart grew heavier and heavier.
"well!"
Elder Fu sighed silently.
He quickly teleported to the outside of the Demon Desire Gate and called out loudly, "Is Sect Leader Ji here? I, Fu, have come to visit!"
