Chaotic Sword God - C.3794: Various Guesses

“Who knows how many lives have perished for the creation of a single secondary banner. The Fiend Soul Banner definitely has a primary banner as well, so we have to find this person.”

“I just wonder if the primary banner has been forged or not. If it still hasn’t been forged yet, then finding this person soon will save countless innocent lives.”

Many Immortal Exalts were overcome with righteous fury. Many of them tried to peer into this matter, but all of the traces and presences had been annihilated by the Divine Formation of the Heavens’ devastating strike. Regular Immortal Exalts obviously could not find anything at all.

After all, the Divine Formation of the Heavens was a Grand Exalt’s formation. Despite being incomplete, its wonders were still beyond what regular peak formations came close to.

“The laws here have already been disturbed by a powerful force. Even if an expert who has grasped the Ways of Time and the Ways of Space is present, they won’t be able to find anything. As a result, there’s nothing I can do to find out about what happened here,” the Warring Old Freak said slowly. His elderly eyes landed on the bottomless pit and his pupils narrowed slightly. “However, although many of the traces and presences here have been destroyed and the ways are disturbed, there are still some clues remaining.”

With that, the Warring Old Freak suddenly reached towards the pit. A suction force emerged, drawing some substance that resembled dust into his hand.

“Everyone, look at what this is,” the Warring Old Freak said to the Immortal Exalts.

Immediately, numerous senses of the soul gathered over. Many people recognised what it was and said, “This should be the remains of an Immortal Exalt!”

When she heard that, the Flying Leaf Ancestor connected it with something. Deep sorrow welled up inside her.

“That’s right, this is indeed the remains of an Immortal Exalt, and you’re all familiar with this deceased expert.” The Warring Old Freak clearly discerned his true identity from the remains. He looked towards the Flying Leaf Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment and said, “The person who died is fellow Space-purging of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment!”

“What! It’s fellow Space-purging?”

“How is that possible? The Space-purging Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment is a supreme figure who has reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt, and he grasps the Laws of Space. H-how did he die here?”

When the Warring Old Freak said that, he shocked all of the Immortal Exalts present. In particular, the emotions of the city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, began to heave inside.

“The S-space-purging Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment has actually died…” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu blanked out.

The Space-purging Ancestor’s death had an impact on him countless times more intense than the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master’s disappearance.

“D-don’t tell me fellow Yang Yutian did this? He actually killed a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt so easily.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s blood flow accelerated as his heart thumped uncontrollably. “And the demonic god artifact, the Fiend Soul Banner, does that belong to Yang Yutian as well?”

“If it doesn’t belong to fellow Yang Yutian, then it must…” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu subconsciously looked at the remains in the Warring Old Freak’s hands.

“Fellow Flying Leaf, is the deceased really fellow Space-purging of your Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment?” the city lord of the Yi Immortal City, the Scarlet Fire Immortal Exalt, looked at the Flying Leaf Ancestor and said with a particularly solemn tone.

“I-I don’t know. It has been a very long time since I last had contact with senior brother Space-purging…” The Flying Leaf Ancestor was dazed. She was startled and shaken up, feigning ignorance.

“It is definitely Space-purging. I’ve seen him many times in the past. You’re more familiar with him than anyone here.” The Warring Old Freak stared at the Flying Leaf Ancestor in interest and continued to ask, “However, what puzzles me is why a secondary banner of the Fiend Soul Banner would appear where Space-purging died.”

“Senior Warring, do you suspect that the Fiend Soul Banner was in the Space-purging Ancestor’s possession?” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s face lit up with realisation.

“That’s impossible. I don’t know about senior Space-purging’s current situation, much less whether he’s still alive or not, but it’s impossible for the Fiend Soul Banner to be his.” The Flying Leaf Ancestor denied his speculation in a hurry. She understood the severity of the matter. She knew that she could not allow everyone to turn their attention towards the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.

“Let’s take a step back. Even if senior Space-purging actually died here, I think it was only the case that senior Space-purging was fighting against a demonic expert before perishing here in the end because he stood no chance.”

“After all, you all know that senior brother Space-purging grasps the Laws of Space. Even if he encounters an undefeatable opponent, he can escape with ease. If senior brother Space-purging actually died here, then that can only mean he encountered a mysterious expert. He must have coincidentally discovered one of their secrets like the Fiend Soul Banner or something else, which ultimately led to his death.”

“It’s extremely likely that the Fiend Soul Banner was responsible for senior brother Space-purging’s death. It was this item that rendered him incapable of escaping,” the Flying Leaf Ancestor said firmly, making a strong case.

When they heard that, many of the Immortal Exalts present nodded in agreement. They all understood just how difficult it was to prevent the Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Space-purging Ancestor, from escaping.

“What you’ve said does make some sense, but there are some flaws in your logic as well.” The Warring Old Freak stared at the bottomless pit and said, “The power that can create this kind of destruction almost rivals me. As a matter of fact, it’s no longer weaker than me. That person already possessed such great power. Even if they had to use the Fiend Soul Banner to kill Space-purging, why would they leave the secondary banner here after completing the deed?”

“You better not say that they left in a hurry and could not take the secondary banner away with them in time.”

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu spoke up at this moment, “Then are you saying that the secondary banner was intentionally left here, senior Warring? What would be the point of this? Don’t tell me they’re hinting at something?”

“Don’t tell me they’re hinting that the Fiend Soul Banner belonged to fellow Space-purging?” Immortal Exalt Yi Miao said in some disbelief.

“That’s impossible. That’s completely impossible. The enemy possesses such strength, so why would they give us a pointless hint? They could just kill their way over to our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.” The Flying Leaf Ancestor denied it vehemently.

“Yes and no. We’ll know everything once we pay a visit to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. This matter is of great significance, so we have to go to the bottom of it. It’s not just the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment. We have to carry out a close search through all the major organisations on the Hall Brilliance Heaven,” the Warring Old Freak said emotionlessly. Shortly afterwards, he stowed the Fiend Soul Banner away and said, “I’ll hold onto this item for now. Once we resolve this matter, I’ll publically destroy it. Such a vicious demonic god artifact cannot be allowed to remain in the Immortals’ World.”

“Leave behind a group of people to question the immortal beasts here. Ask them about what happened before the battle. If anyone is interested, accompany me to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.”

As soon as he said that, the Warring Old Freak set off straight for the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.

After a moment of hesitation, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu and a few other Immortal Exalts followed behind him.

The Flying Leaf Ancestor’s heart sank, but she did not show any of it. She only secretly prayed inside, “I can only hope that senior brother Transcension has made arrangements on his side. Otherwise, our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment is truly done for.”

The Flying Leaf Ancestor followed closely behind them, returning to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment as quickly as she could.
