Chapter 546

While Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian were happily making love, near the place where they had previously killed those two ancient clan Fighting Sovereigns, several figures with extremely terrifying auras appeared.

After all, the wisp of soul aura they had left in the clan suddenly vanished completely.

And this situation generally means that its owner has perished in body and soul.

Upon encountering this issue, the ancient clan naturally dispatched people to investigate immediately.

Since both of them were guardians of the ancient demon, the former was also implicated in this.

After discussion by the clan's Elders, they were sentenced to kneel in the Ancestral Hall for three months, followed by three years of confinement.

Moreover, Gu Xun'er's act of sending people to extensively search for strange fire was eventually uncovered and became known to the senior members of the clan.

After the ancient clan's senior members deliberated, Gu Xun'er was punished for privately mobilizing the clan's Fighting Sovereigns, which caused unnecessary casualties, sentencing them to one year of confinement.

As for the four or five Fighting Sovereigns previously dispatched by the former, they were also recalled by the clan.

At the place where Lin Feng killed those two ancient clan Fighting Sovereigns, a middle-aged man gazed at the seemingly normal forest before him and suddenly extended his hand, shaping it into a claw.

Then, with his palm facing downward, a suction force suddenly erupted from his palm.

Whoosh~

The next moment, a space jade slip discarded by Lin Feng was sucked up and subsequently grasped by that person.

That person's indifferent gaze swept over the jade slip, and then they calmly said: "Those two useless fellows didn't even have time to crush my space jade slip; it seems they encountered a strong enemy here and were killed by the opponent before they could react."

Although those two fellows hardly ever fought anyone, their combat experience is pitiful. Nevertheless, they possess five-tier bloodline; even the weaker one had already broken through to the Dou Zun Realm decades ago. After activating their clan patterns, their strength rivals that of four- or five-star Fighting Sovereigns—could it be that they met a Fighting Sovereign who has entered the Nine Revolutions?

Upon hearing the former's words, a middle-aged beautiful woman standing beside them stepped forward, frowning.

Probably not.

Having said that, the middle-aged man extended a finger and forced out a drop of blood.

Then he flicked his finger, sending the drop toward the forest below.

Bang~

When that drop of blood fell at a height of several meters above the ground, it suddenly emitted a blood-colored light.

Immediately afterward, some of the forest below likewise burst forth with a weaker blood-red glow.

This appearance was as if they had encountered kin, calling out to each other.

Gazing at the scene below, the middle-aged man continued: "Although much time has passed, causing most evidence here to have vanished, judging from the residual bloodstains on the ground, the one who killed those two possesses strength not exceeding the Dou Zun Peak."

Having said that, the man narrowed his eyes and coldly remarked: "Furthermore, judging from how the opponent dealt with two low-ranking Fighting Sovereigns—striking lethally from the start and then disposing of their corpses—the killer must be familiar with our ancient Seven Clans."

Could it be the other six clans, or perhaps some other powerful forces on the Fighting Qi Continent?

After hearing the man's analysis, the woman frowned again.

I don't know, but both of them possessed the Imperial Seal Technique in their hands. Moreover, the clan has installed tracking mechanisms on all Imperial Seal Technique scrolls; can you sense it?

The middle-aged man shook his head and then spoke to the beautiful woman.

Upon hearing that, the latter's eyes lit up, and they immediately said: "I'll give it a try."

Having said that, they closed their eyes and began to sense carefully.

I sense them; they're right here.

Soon after, the beautiful woman pointed in a direction and said:

"Let's go, we'll catch up and kill that person, then retrieve the Imperial Seal Technique. Although it's not a heavenly-tier technique, it is one of our ancient clan's signature fighting arts; if it spreads, it will be troublesome."

Having said that, the space around the middle-aged man twisted and he instantly vanished.

As for the beautiful woman, they hurriedly followed as well.

However, since Lin Feng had long been prepared for this, it was destined that the two would return disappointed.

When the two found the space ring torn apart by the void's space storm, only a few items remained, drifting alone in the dark void.

As for the killer who slew those ancient clan members, not a trace of them was ever seen.

Upon seeing this, both of their hearts sank instantly.

A bad feeling welled up involuntarily from their hearts.

Immediately afterward, the man hastily grabbed the scroll inscribed with the Imperial Seal Technique and flung it open.

Soon after, he noticed that the soul traces above had become very faint.

Obviously, this scroll has been read multiple times.

Otherwise, the soul traces on it could not be so faint.

This indicates that the killer, after slaying those two ancient clan members, went on to study one of their clan's fighting techniques—the Imperial Seal Technique!

Moreover, the leakage of the Imperial Seal Technique is far more serious than their loss of two Fighting Sovereigns.

After all, within their ancient clan, Fighting Sovereign-level cultivators are a dime a dozen.

Losing two would at most embarrass their ancient clan; otherwise, it's nothing.

But if the flaws of the Imperial Seal Technique were spread abroad,

then the deterrent power of this fighting art of theirs could drop by more than half.

Most importantly, judging by the degree of soul trace loss on this scroll, the opposing side must certainly be more than one person.

This also means that their Imperial Seal Technique may have been read by several forces.

Damn it, don't let me catch you!

Thinking of this, the man gripped the scroll's rod tightly, his face filled with killing intent as he roared.

At the same time, a terrifying aura suddenly radiated outward in all directions.

Even the space storm that even some Fighting Sovereign powerhouses cannot linger in for long was blown several miles away.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman's mood was equally terrible.

After all, their mission this time was to locate the killer who slew those ancient clan members and bring them back to the clan for punishment.

And in the process, bring back all Imperial Seal Technique scrolls as well as anyone who has read this scroll.

As for these two tasks, they haven't completed a single one.

It's easy to imagine that once they return to the clan, things definitely won't go well for them.

But realizing the matter could not be changed, the beautiful woman promptly urged: "We should still first find another scroll of the Imperial Seal Decision; that way, at least we can shut some people up."

Sigh, there's nothing else we can do.

Hearing the former's words, the man sighed helplessly, then with an icy face said: "You'd better not let me find the culprit, otherwise I'll make you know what it means to wish you were dead."

Having said that, the two continued onward to the location of the next scroll.

After obtaining the second scroll, the two immediately flew toward the ancient clan's own small world.
