Chapter 377 The Murderer Who Annihilated the Demon Phoenix Clan
No sooner had Nan Muyin finished speaking than she saw Feng Yue, his face grim, turn and leave with a group of demonic cultivators. She asked anxiously, "Fourth Junior Brother, where are you going?"
"The person looking for me."
"??"
Although Nan Muyin was somewhat puzzled, she still asked, "They're using a teleportation array, do you know which direction to search?"
“I know.” Feng Yue said firmly. Seeing Nan Muyin’s worried expression, he patiently explained, “Qingyu has a magic weapon on her body with my soul imprint on it.”
After saying that, he didn't wait for anyone's reaction, turned around and left with the group of demonic cultivators.
Nan Muyin watched Feng Yue walk further and further away, still feeling somewhat worried about him. So she left some people behind to carry out the rescue, and led the people from Tianzong to follow.
At this time, the situation in the upper realm is turbulent and unpredictable, with the two forces, led by Dragon Palace and Qilin Valley, locked in a fierce battle.
It was thought that Jun Yi's disappearance would at least temporarily halt the Dragon Palace's offensive, but unexpectedly, they not only did not restrain themselves, but their arrogance became even more rampant.
The forces that had initially reached an agreement with Qilin Valley have now backed out and wavered, and are now observing the situation again.
"Those two-faced bastards!" Lin Chen was furious as he crushed the jade slip in his hand. "Once I have a chance, I'll make them pay!"
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned to look at Wu Han beside him and said, "And there's the news I just received. That mysterious Star Array Pavilion has appeared, and it seems to have had some dealings with the Dragon Venerable Palace. What exactly is going on?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Han, seated at the head of the table, stroked his teacup and said quietly, "The two families have a long history together, so it's not surprising that they've gotten together..."
"What do you mean? Are you hiding something from me again?"
Lin Chen's face immediately darkened. He had finally realized that he had been completely tricked into joining a pirate ship and was being used as a pawn.
It would be one thing if he were alone, but now he's involved with Qilin Valley, yet he knows absolutely nothing about their background. How can he not be furious?
Wu Han naturally noticed his displeasure and chuckled lightly to soothe him, saying, "Young Valley Master, please don't be angry. I didn't mean to hide anything. It's just that I heard the Holy Envoy mention it before, and I only have a vague understanding of the past."
Lin Chen: "Oh? What's the relationship between those two families? And who is the Holy Envoy?"
"Actually, I don't know much either. It is said that the founder of the Star Array Pavilion was named Qi Jun. He was a person of extraordinary talent back then. Later, he and Jun Yi became Daoist partners. It seems that they broke up for some reason afterward."
Lin Chen: "Did you break up?"
Wu Han: "Yes, it is said that the two families fought back then, but now, for some reason... they are together again. This is really unexpected."
Lin Chen looked at him thoughtfully for a moment, then continued to ask, "What about the Holy Envoy? He's the one behind you, isn't he? At this point, don't you think it's time to tell me the truth?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Han chuckled lightly, "To be honest, I am from a sacred land outside the realm. Back then, I followed the orders of the Holy Envoy to infiltrate the cultivation world and monitor the movements of both realms."
"Besides that, there is another crucial task: to find the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden from the Outer Realms."
"Holy Maiden?" Lin Chen was somewhat confused, then suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "The Holy Maiden you're talking about... could it be the Soul Guide?"
Wu Han took a sip of spiritual tea and chuckled, "Otherwise, why do you think we would help you if it weren't for her instructions?"
"help me?"
Lin Chen was so angry he laughed. No matter what the outcome, Qilin Valley would never be able to shake off the crime of colluding with evil cultivators from other realms.
Wu Han thought for a moment and explained, "Actually, I only recently learned the exact identity of this saintess. Don't eat the heart and ruin our harmony."
Lin Chen glanced at him and snorted coldly, clearly not believing him.
At this moment, a subordinate walked in from outside the hall, "My lord, the Holy Maiden has sent a jade slip."
"Oh? Give it to me."
Wu Han took the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense. After a moment, a look of joy appeared on his face. "Good! Good! We've finally waited for this moment!"
Seeing his excitement, Lin Chen couldn't help but become curious: "What happened? What did she say?"
Wu Han: "The Holy Maiden has successfully merged with the body and plans to return to the outer realms to make a big splash. She asked me to bring some supplies to meet her."
Lin Chen: "What is this? They actually made you personally escort it?"
"Eye."
"oh?"
...
"They're all dead?"
Inside the cabin, Yu Qianling's trembling voice came from inside. She had asked Mu Yang about the Demon Phoenix Clan on a whim, but she never expected such a result.
Seeing her heartbroken expression, Mu Yang sighed and said, "When I heard the news back then, I personally led a group to the scene, but it was too late, and no one survived..."
"And what's strange is that I saw that the eyes of every member of the Phoenix Clan had been gouged out."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan's eyes flashed with doubt. Recalling his absurd actions in his previous life, he asked, "What do they want the eyes of the Demon Phoenix Clan for?"
Mu Yang: "We don't know what its specific use is, but it must be for refining treasures."
"Refining a treasure?" Yu Qianling's voice trembled slightly, and an uncontrollable rage flashed across his face. "Could it be that the massacre of our clan back then was all for this eye?"
Mu Yang pondered for a moment and nodded. "Alas, later we couldn't bear to leave their bodies exposed in the wilderness, so we buried them on the spot and set up a magic array there to prevent them from being disturbed again. Since you are a descendant of the Phoenix Clan, if you want to pay your respects, you can keep this item."
Yu Qianling took the array core pestle handed to her. The vague memories from her childhood seemed to become clearer at this moment. Tears gradually blurred her vision, and she choked out, "Elder Mu, thank you!"
Mu Yang waved his hand, "Oh, these are nothing, you don't need to thank me."
Yu Qianling gripped the array's core pestle tightly, his face filled with pain and murderous intent. "Do you know who did this?"
Mu Yang: "People from the Soul Refining Hall."
Yu Qianling: "The Soul Refining Hall?"
“Since you come from the lower realm, you must have heard of the City of Ten Thousand Sins. It is a branch of the Soul Refining Hall.” Mu Yang thought for a moment and continued, “And this Soul Refining Hall is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Its true master is the Sacred Domain of the Outer Realm.”
"Outer realms?" Yu Qianling frowned. "We once entered a secret realm; wasn't that temple destroyed?"
“Destroyed things can be rebuilt. Wasn’t the lower realm a scene of devastation before? Can you still see the horrors of that time now?” Mu Yang continued, “In recent years, the outer realms have also been recuperating, waiting for their Holy Maiden to return, dreaming of conquering the cultivation world again.”
"Holy Maiden?" Yu Xuan paused. "Could it be the Soul-Guiding Technique?"
Mu Yang nodded. "It's probably true."
"Could it be that the extermination of our clan is also related to her?" Upon thinking this, Yu Qianling couldn't control his killing intent. "This scourge, I will kill her sooner or later!"
