"Oh my god, what happened?"
"The Akabane Hall was actually robbed?"
"What kind of force is so audacious as to dare to rob the Crimson Feather Hall?"
Looking at the empty site of the former Red Feather Hall, which was still covered with countless bloodstains, all living beings couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and discuss it among themselves.
In just about ten breaths, the once bustling Crimson Feather Hall had become like this, which they could hardly believe.
As for the surviving customers, their eyes were filled with wariness.
They suspect that these customers may have been responsible.
However, some other beings recognized some of these customers and, after inquiring, learned that it was actually the work of the Immortal Sect.
"The Immortal Sect? Lu Tao? Why would they rob the Crimson Feather Hall? I've never heard of any grudge between the Immortal Sect and the Crimson Feather Hall."
"Right, when did the Immortal Sect clash with the Crimson Feather Hall?"
"I've never heard of this. Something must have happened that we don't know about."
...
Many living beings are puzzled by this.
Although the Immortal Sect has a notorious reputation, people only know that they have enemies with various races and have been causing them a lot of trouble. There is no news of any enmity between the Immortal Sect and the Crimson Feather Hall.
"I know!"
Suddenly, a young man raised a jade slip and spoke.
Just as the other creatures were wondering, they saw the young man holding the jade slip in mid-air with his inner energy, saying, "This jade slip suddenly fell at my feet. I thought it was a treasure from heaven, but it turned out to be... You can see for yourselves."
"What's all this mystery about?"
The other creatures were very curious and scanned the area with their divine soul power. Then, in an instant, they showed expressions of sudden realization.
This jade slip contains only one record.
That was the plot between the Crimson Feather Hall and the True Dragon Clan to scheme against Lu Tao.
At the end, Lu Tao also reminded other cultivators with special techniques not to go to the Crimson Feather Hall.
"I never expected Akabane-do to behave like this."
"Hey, I knew it. These so-called chambers of commerce seem to have an excellent reputation, but in reality, they're capable of doing anything, no matter how dirty, as long as the profits are right."
"That's right, Akabane-do? Heh heh, they've met their match this time."
"Hehe, this is going to be interesting."
——
"You bastard!"
On the other side.
When Jie En, the leader of the Akabane Hall, received the news, he was completely stunned.
Why hasn't the branch temple sent a message back?
His mind was filled with confusion.
The Crimson Feather Hall is extremely powerful, and teleportation arrays are set up in each of its branches. As long as a branch sends a message back, they can teleport there to help immediately.
However, when the branch was attacked and killed by the Immortal Sect, no news came back.
This is very strange.
"Sigh, Lu Tao is like a ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace, making him impossible to guard against."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder standing nearby also felt a sense of powerlessness.
If Lu Tao's whereabouts could be found, why would the various clans be so frustrated?
Unfortunately, I just can't find it.
Even Elder Gui was severely injured under Lu Tao's curse. Although he recovered from his injuries by accelerating the process within the small world, it was unknown how long it would take for him to fully recover.
The Grand Elder urged, "Brother Jie, quickly find out what happened. Why was the branch destroyed without any news coming back? Could it be that Lu Tao has some other tricks up his sleeve?"
"Lu Tao!"
Jie En ground his teeth.
Then, through continuous inquiries with other god-kings he was on good terms with, he finally learned that it was impossible to send messages to the outside world from within the Immortal Sect's formation.
"Lu Tao's mastery of formations has actually reached such a level?"
The elder felt a chill run down his spine.
Even before Lu Tao ascended to immortality, they knew that Lu Tao's array formation skills were quite high, but they never expected that in just one year, Lu Tao's array formations would be able to block the transmission of messages.
This shows that...
The array set up by Lu Tao has a blocking ability comparable to a small world.
"Lu Tao, is he really that terrifying?"
A pang of regret arose in Jie En's heart.
Had he known Lu Tao possessed such methods, he would never have chosen to cooperate with the True Dragon Clan.
But it's too late to regret it now.
"My Akabane Hall's reputation, built up over hundreds of thousands of years, has been completely destroyed in a single day."
The gods Jie En, Wu Heng, and others felt very uncomfortable.
They know.
The fact that the Crimson Feather Hall and the True Dragon Clan conspired against Lu Tao has been exposed, causing their prestige to plummet. That's why the surviving customers are hiding the Immortal Sect's array abilities.
Otherwise, Jie En would have known about this immediately, instead of needing to inquire continuously.
but.
Although this incident is a stain on the Akabane Hall, as long as more mud is thrown at Lu Tao, the black can be washed away, and these negative effects will naturally disappear quickly.
However, the most urgent task is to protect the other branch halls from further retaliation from the Immortal Sect.
But just then, more news arrived.
Another branch was attacked, and none of its members survived, including a god-king.
All resources and buildings within the hall were looted.
"Lu Tao!!!"
Jie En, Wu Heng, and several other god-kings were all enraged, their bodies radiating intense killing intent, wishing they could kill Lu Tao immediately.
The fact that two god-kings had fallen in such a short period of time was a loss they could not accept.
But they also knew that all they could do now was rage in a state of impotence.
"well!"
Jie En sighed deeply. He quickly calmed down and then sent a message to all the branch halls with a sense of frustration: "All branch hall masters, pack up all supplies and return to the main hall."
"I never imagined that my Akabane Hall would fall to such a state."
Jie En felt a touch of self-mockery in his heart.
He finally understood the helplessness and frustration that the various races felt when facing Lu Tao and the Immortal Sect.
He never expected that Lu Tao would possess such abilities. No matter how powerful the Grand Elder was, he was unable to stop Lu Tao's clone from disintegrating.
Otherwise, once Lu Tao's clone is obtained, finding his original body will be a piece of cake.
Such a sure thing failed.
He was extremely unwilling.
But there was nothing that could be done about this outcome.
The only thing he can do now is to temporarily recall all the members of the branch hall to the main hall, so as not to cause the Akabane Hall to suffer more losses.
However, this would greatly affect his Akabane-do business.
"Don't worry, Master Jie, we'll find Lu Tao sooner or later," the Grand Elder reassured him.
"I hope so!"
Jie En regained his composure, then looked at the Grand Elder and said, "Brother Ao, is there anything my Crimson Feather Hall can do to help in the search for Lu Tao?"
He wanted to find Lu Tao as soon as possible, otherwise, Chiyu Hall might have to close down.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's heart stirred, and he said with delight, "With the help of the Crimson Feather Hall, we can find Lu Tao much faster."
"Does the Hall Master of Jie possess any materials related to searching, divination, or merit-making?"
Since Jie En offered to help, the Grand Elder didn't stand on ceremony and directly listed out the materials they were lacking.
Searching, divination.
The Lava Clan has been forging these two types of divine artifacts recently.
However, the forging of divine king artifacts is extremely difficult, and the True Dragon Clan has very high requirements. They are worried that if the quality is too low, they will not be able to find Lu Tao and the Immortal Sect.
Therefore, the goal is to refine it into a top-grade divine artifact.
Even with the Lava Clan's capabilities, they cannot forge such a divine artifact in a short time; it is still under forging.
Materials related to merit and fortune are used to ward off curses.
Lu Tao's curse was so terrifying that no one dared to be careless.
Whether it's Ao Chen, or the First Elder, Second Elder, Turtle Elder, and others, they all need items that can withstand such curses.
However, items containing the essence of merit, fortune, and righteousness are extremely rare. A whole year has passed, and they have searched everywhere but have not been able to buy many.
certainly.
They also knew that these rare items were not only of great value, but also of great help to living beings when worn on their bodies.
Therefore, even if many merchant guilds have collected such items, they will not easily sell them to the True Dragon Clan.
Now that Jie En has offered to help, the Grand Elder naturally made his request.
"Merit and righteousness?"
Jie En frowned slightly upon hearing this.
As the head of the Crimson Feather Hall, he was naturally knowledgeable and experienced. He gleaned some information from the Grand Elder's request, which fueled his resentment.
He knew that these items were probably also intended to deal with Lu Tao.
To be precise, it should be said that it was to resist some kind of method used by Lu Tao.
Merit, righteousness, and other such things, if used to deal with a certain cultivator, would inevitably be used to deal with evil beings, demons, and the like.
Lu Tao, however, cultivates the Hunyuan Technique, so these auras naturally cannot restrain him.
Therefore, he guessed that Lu Tao probably had some sinister methods that made the alliance of all races extremely wary.
This made his understanding of how dangerous Lu Tao was much clearer.
I felt even worse.
The True Dragon Clan had not mentioned these things to him before.
After a few moments of contemplation, Jie En slowly said, "We have all the other materials, but we don't have materials for merit or righteous energy."
At this point, Jie En was not afraid that the Grand Elder would have any doubts.
Since Lu Tao possesses terrifying and sinister methods, he naturally needs to be on guard.
Your own life is the most important thing.
The Grand Elder was slightly disappointed, but he didn't care much and said with a smile, "Good, with the help of Hall Master Jie, we will definitely be able to quickly refine the Divine King Artifact and find Lu Tao's whereabouts."
Jie En nodded silently.
Soon, he retrieved various materials from the small world and handed them over to the Grand Elder.
"Thank you, Master Jie."
After putting away the numerous materials, the Grand Elder was overjoyed, but considering the losses suffered by the Crimson Feather Hall, he did not show it. Instead, he asked about another matter, saying, "By the way, Hall Master Jie, I have a question for you. You are very knowledgeable, do you know the use of the power of faith?"
