It's hard to imagine that if she lived in a peaceful world, she might have become an extremely brilliant genius who led humanity forward.
......
Two days later.
Shocking news has arrived from the outside: the Hundred Immortals Merchant Guild, under the Tian Shu Organization, has been attacked by an unknown group of cultivators near its route! The elder in the group displayed combat power comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, plundering the Hundred Immortals Merchant Guild's transport convoy and killing countless people!
Only one survivor managed to escape using Taoist magic and reported the tragic situation to the nearest Tian Shu organization.
The young sect leader was in charge of this institution. Upon learning the news, he was furious and vowed to find the murderer!
That very night, the young sect leader rushed to the crime scene without stopping, only to find that the murderer had already fled, and the massive amount of cultivation resources and materials being transported by the convoy had also vanished.
Clearly, this was a premeditated murder and robbery!
Considering that the Bai Xian Chamber of Commerce's transport convoy was quite powerful, with two Nascent Soul cultivators leading over a hundred cultivators to personally escort it, there were very few forces in the vicinity capable of taking down this convoy.
According to the only survivor, the group that came at the time relied mainly on an old man who was skilled with a sword. He single-handedly blocked the caravan with his sword and fought against more than a hundred cultivators, killing them all with his sword!
This old man's cultivation level was at most no higher than the Nascent Soul stage; despite being only at the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to fight against many opponents and be invincible among those of the same realm.
This is outrageous! This is definitely a master swordsman! No ordinary cultivator!
Based on the clothing and Taoist practices described by the survivors, the young sect leader immediately suspected the Ruthless Blade Alliance and the Cloud Temple.
However, the leader of the Ruthless Blade Alliance cultivates swordsmanship, while the Cloud Cloud Temple is a sect of miscellaneous studies, possessing memories of all sorts of Taoist techniques. Neither of these can be used to determine the murderer's identity.
Unwilling to give up his pursuit of the truth, the young sect leader investigated the crime scene all night. Finally, relying on his amazing cultivation talent and keen perception of Daoist techniques, he detected traces of [knife techniques] in the fight traces at the crime scene!
The old man wielded a sword, but he employed extremely exquisite knife skills! Using the art of killing with the sword, he slaughtered the entire caravan!
The young sect leader hurriedly summoned the most skilled swordsmen from the Tian Shu organization to confirm the matter. After analysis, they concluded that the sword technique was none other than the Ruthless Mountain-Splitting Sword of the Ruthless Sword Alliance!
Their Daoist charm, swordsmanship angles, and the degree of spiritual energy utilization were all the same!
Although the murderer used a sword, the method of using the sword was a typical example of the "Ruthless Mountain-Splitting Blade"!
This detail was repeatedly analyzed by several cultivators from the Tian Shu Organization, and it was finally confirmed that the murderer deliberately used a sword to cover up the traces, but still could not get rid of some of his habits of using a knife. In the life-and-death battle with a cultivator of the same realm, he was forced to use the knife-based killing techniques.
As dawn broke, more news arrived: a cultivator from the Heavenly Pivot Realm had tracked the killer's aura and remaining hair, confirming that he had returned to the vicinity of the Ruthless Blade Alliance! Furthermore, spiritual energy fluctuations from a small convoy of resources were detected near the Blade Alliance!
A second piece of news followed closely behind: according to the survivors, the clothes worn by the murderers were extremely similar to the disciples' uniforms of the Ruthless Blade Alliance!
The final bombshell news has arrived: Xiaoyun Temple only has one Golden Core cultivator, but at the time of the incident, this cultivator was in Tian Shu Organization City arguing with the young sect master! Moreover, several Tian Shu cultivators can testify to this!
Within the Ruthless Blade Alliance, there are three Nascent Soul cultivators! Their cultivation level, age, appearance, clothing, and methods of committing the crime all match perfectly!
All the clues and evidence came together, pointing directly at the Ruthless Blade Alliance!
"Destroy the Blade Alliance! Uphold the majesty of Tian Shu!"
The young sect leader immediately made the decision and declared in fury that he would use the blood of the Ruthless Blade Alliance to wash away this shame!
Tian Shu is the ruler of this world! He must not be humiliated!
On the third night, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ruthless Blade Alliance heard the news and made a visit that very night, managing to stop the Heavenly Pivot cultivators' army from setting off to interrogate him.
The old Nascent Soul cultivator wanted to explain the truth to the young sect leader, but was rendered speechless by the series of evidence presented by the young sect leader.
In the end, the Nascent Soul expert beside the young sect leader struck down with a palm, killing the old Nascent Soul cultivator on the spot!
The team sets off! Heading straight for the Ruthless Blade Alliance!
The Tian Shu cultivators attached great importance to this matter and would not allow anyone to infringe upon or provoke the dignity and interests of the Tian Shu organization. Several surrounding branches sent people to assist them.
In the end, eighty-nine Heavenly Pivot cultivators set off, including three Nascent Soul cultivators! The rest were all Core Formation cultivators! There wasn't a single weakling!
On the way, Su Lin, the abbot of Xiaoyun Temple, heard about this and immediately led the sect's elites to catch up, expressing his full support for the young sect leader!
Although the people they brought were not very strong and were mostly weak, their intentions were at least commendable.
The young sect leader, who was also the deputy abbot of Xiaoyun Temple, naturally agreed readily. At the same time, he scolded some unscrupulous people who made unfounded speculations: "Look at Xiaoyun Temple! What kind of cultivation level did the disciples they brought have? Some of them haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage! The abbot is only at the Golden Core stage!"
"Even if such a sect has a large population, its strength is extremely weak. Could they be the murderers?"
"You lot! What can I say to you? Use your brains! How can a Golden Core cultivator kill a Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone two at once? Is that even realistic? Do you really think every cultivator outside is a prodigy from a celestial sect?"
"If someone is that powerful, they would be a once-in-a-millennium genius even in a celestial sect! They could even get into a celestial sect and receive training just by killing the Hundred Immortals Merchant Guild!"
As the young sect leader hurried along, he berated his advisors and cultivators, cursing them so much that they couldn't lift their heads.
Yes, Xiaoyun Temple is so weak, how could they be the murderers... Even if they really were, if the young sect leader says they weren't, then they definitely weren't.
Xiaoyun Temple is weak, but its attitude is commendable.
The young sect leader continued to curse and rant, his anger barely subsided. When he arrived at the Ruthless Blade Alliance, cultivators from the alliance were already there to greet him from afar, hoping to explain the situation and not take the blame.
Rebellion?
They wouldn't dare; killing this wave of Tian Shu cultivators would only bring an even stronger wave.
No one in the world can stand against the Nine Great Immortal Sects.
Instead of resisting, they just ran away?
Don't be ridiculous. We've lived in this sect for generations. If we leave, we'll become rogue cultivators, and our lives will be worse than death.
Their only option was to explain, plead, and hope that the young sect leader, being of great understanding, could see through the truth.
Unfortunately, all that awaited them was the young sect leader's sharp shout that pierced the night sky.
"Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
