“Ancestor, I checked the backyard of the Lonely True Monarch and found nothing unusual.”
I've already questioned all the outer disciples in the Lonely Beast Market. The last time True Monarch Lonely left Red Forest City was a little over a month ago.
According to an outer disciple, seven days before leaving, the Lonely True Lord personally accepted a rogue cultivator named Black God True Man as an outer disciple.
Subsequently, the Lonely True Lord and the Black God True Man entered the Heavenly Wind Valley together.
At that time, a large number of demonic beasts appeared in Tianfeng Valley, including more than a dozen third-tier demonic beasts. I suspect that the fall of the Lonely True Monarch may be related to this.
Of course, that Black God Immortal is also very suspicious.
After the fall of the Lonely True Monarch, the Black God True Man actually returned alive from Heavenly Wind Valley to Red Forest City. Furthermore, he did not go to the Lonely Beast Market to inform the outer disciples of the Lonely True Monarch's demise.
In the backyard of the Beast Market, two cultivators stood, one of whom, a Nascent Soul cultivator named True Lord Dahai, spoke with a respectful expression.
The other cultivator had a slightly wrinkled face and looked like an old man. He was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and his Daoist name was Ancestor of the Bitter Sea.
When news of the death of the Lonely True Monarch reached the headquarters of the Beast Devouring Sect, the headquarters originally planned to send two Nascent Soul Peak cultivators to handle the matter.
However, when the Bitter Sea Ancestor heard about the death of his disciple, he was furious and demanded to investigate the matter personally and avenge his disciple, the Lonely True Lord.
So, he took an inner disciple and flew at full speed for three days before arriving at the small Red Forest City, ready to investigate the death of the Lonely True Monarch.
"I only had this one apprentice. I never expected that he would come to this small Red Forest City to work as a workshop manager, and then perish here."
It's truly a case of the elderly burying their children!
My apprentice is not a reckless person.
Even if a large number of demonic beasts appear in Tianfeng Valley, he will not personally rush up to fight them.
It seems this matter is not so simple.
As for that so-called Black God True Man, since he is a newly joined outer disciple of our sect, he must be a Golden Core cultivator. Yet he is still alive, which is very suspicious.
"Let's go take a look at Tianfeng Valley."
After speaking for a while, the Old Ancestor of the Bitter Sea spoke again, and then, with the Great Sea True Lord, they quickly descended into the Heavenly Wind Valley.
He took out a Taoist robe that had been used by the Lonely True Monarch, and gently touched it with his hand. A ray of spiritual light entered into it, and that light absorbed the aura of the Lonely True Monarch.
Soon, the ray of light floated up and headed towards the depths of Tianfeng Valley, and the two quickly followed.
They only stopped when the ray of light disappeared into a vast forest.
"This is the place where my disciple, the Lonely True Monarch, perished."
The Old Ancestor of the Bitter Sea looked at the vast forest before him and spoke in a low voice.
In this forest, many tall trees have fallen, and the ground is uneven. Although the trees here have regrowed lush foliage, there are obvious signs of a battle.
Without hesitation, he reached out and cast a spell, Time Reversal.
In an instant, a flickering phantom appeared in the void, containing two figures. One of them was killed by a dark red sword aura.
"I never imagined that my disciple would die under the Demon Blood Divine Sword."
That person, at the peak of the Golden Core realm, could unleash a full-force attack comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Moreover, the power of that Demon Blood Divine Sword was immense; it seemed to have reached its peak.
The Old Ancestor of the Bitter Sea frowned slightly and said calmly.
"What?
Did the Black God True Man cultivate the Demon Blood Divine Sword to perfection during his peak Golden Core stage?
How is that possible?
In our Lingxiang Sect, there are also cultivators who have mastered the Demon Snow Divine Sword and the Demon Blood Divine Sword to perfection. Every single one of them is a senior with an extremely high level of cultivation.
As far as I know, those who can cultivate the Demon Blood Divine Sword to perfection are at least at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, or some ancestors at the Divine Transformation stage.
That Black God True Man was merely a Golden Core cultivator with weak spiritual energy. Even with exceptional talent, it was impossible for him to cultivate a great divine ability to perfection.
Isn't he a Golden Core cultivator?
"The Great Ocean True Lord said with a shocked expression."
"Time rewinds, revealing everything. The aura of that phantom is unmistakable; the Black God True Man is indeed at the peak of the Golden Core realm."
My apprentice died at his hands; this man seems to be no ordinary person.
As the Bitter Sea Ancestor spoke, he continued to watch the swirling illusion of time. He saw the Lonely True Monarch fall to the ground and die. His storage bag and other treasures were taken away by the Black God True Man, and his body was quickly burned.
"Unfortunately, the time reversal can only show a fleeting glimpse of my disciple within ten breaths after his death, and cannot reveal more details."
With a sigh, the Old Ancestor of the Bitter Sea thought for a moment and said:
I finally know who killed my apprentice.
Next, we need to find a way to locate the Black God Immortal.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Suddenly, the token hanging at the waist of the Bitter Sea Ancestor trembled slightly. His gaze sharpened, and he muttered something to himself, saying, "
A message came in.
He released a wisp of his divine sense to quickly read the message within the token.
"Ancestor of the Bitter Sea, is the news from headquarters about the death of True Monarch Loneliness?"
Seeing that the Old Ancestor of the Bitter Sea remained silent, the Great Sea True Lord cautiously asked.
"Yes.
News from headquarters indicates that Black God True Lord has killed Lonely True Lord.
This person is currently in the City of the Underworld.
Moreover, this person has already broken through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
It seems this person must have obtained the Nascent Soul Pill from my disciple's storage bag, which is why he was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage so easily.
"This man, I will surely kill."
"Old Ancestor of the Bitter Sea" said with a face full of resentment.
The Nascent Soul Pill that his disciple received was a gift from him, intended to help True Monarch Lonely improve his cultivation level as soon as possible and break through to the Nascent Soul stage like him.
Who would have thought that the Black God True Monarch would kill his disciple and take away his disciple's storage bag? How could he not be furious?
“Ancestor, that Black God True Monarch, at the peak of the Golden Core stage, possessed strength comparable to a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.”
Now that he has become a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, his strength will be greatly enhanced.
I estimate that he now possesses strength comparable to, or even greater than, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Moreover, judging from the time reversal just now, the speed of the Black God True Monarch is also very fast.
If he knew we were after him, wouldn't it be easy for him to escape?
"Lord of the Great Ocean," he thought for a moment, and then said.
"snort!
How could you be so stupid?
How can you boost others' morale while diminishing your own?
I am the esteemed ancestor here, possessing the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage. As long as I know where he is, how could I not catch up with him?
With my strength, if I wanted to hunt down a Nascent Soul cultivator, could he possibly escape from me?
The Old Ancestor of the Bitter Sea snorted coldly, a hint of displeasure on his face, and said indifferently.
Lord Dahai quickly smiled and said:
Ancestor, your strength is naturally boundless. Killing a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage is as easy as stepping on an ant.
However, the Black God True Lord has already arrived at the Netherworld Immortal City, and he is very likely to go to the Netherworld Mountain opposite the Netherworld Immortal City.
"Would entering the Netherworld Mountain be disadvantageous for us in our pursuit of him?"
"Mount Youming? That's indeed a minor issue."
The Old Ancestor of the Bitter Sea frowned slightly, hesitated, and then, after thinking for a moment, uttered a low shout:
"Let's go to the Netherworld Immortal City first."
