Chapter 2361

Qing Song Immortal City was slaughtered clean in a single night, and not even bones remained of the over ten million people in the city.

This is clearly the result of some Mìfǎ refining people alive; the several major powers nearer to Qing Song Immortal City have already gone to investigate.

Qi Xiong also, upon receiving the news, immediately rushed over.

After all, there are only twenty-four immortal cities in the whole Immortal Realm, yet Qing Song Immortal City was so easily slaughtered clean, and there wasn't even a trace of resistance.

From this it can be seen that the perpetrator is absolutely no ordinary cultivator.

Otherwise, how could an immortal city possibly be slaughtered so easily clean when there are not a few strong experts stationed in Qing Song Immortal City?

Although it cannot compare to the might of Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng Immortal City, it is certainly not comparable to an ordinary Immortal Realm city.

Yet Qing Song Immortal City showed no signs before its fall; it seemed to happen overnight, and not even a trace of resistance could be seen among the city's experts—this is truly the most frightening thing.

Because the mastermind behind this, being able to silently wipe out Qing Song Immortal City in a single night, means that for almost over ninety percent of the powers in the Immortal Realm, encountering this would yield a result not much different from Qing Song Immortal City.

To the many powers of the Immortal Realm, this is practically like a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.

Precisely for this reason, the major powers of the Immortal Realm are thus panic-stricken and cannot find peace all day.

The Heavenly Family and the Wushen Palace have already received many requests for help from various powers, hoping they will personally intervene and investigate this matter.

The Heavenly Family's ancestor and Miao Cuihua both received reports from their subordinates, asking whether they should show up.

After a few people remained silent for a while, Huang Lao was the first to speak.

"Ah, a tumultuous autumn—looks like the Immortal Realm is about to fall into chaos."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Fu beside him also nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, an immortal city being slaughtered clean in such a silent manner—how could it not frighten people."

Miao Cuihua continued.

"What's the point of saying this now? Those capable of doing this are few in the Immortal Realm; if we exclude us four, they become even fewer."

Those capable of doing this must at least be existences above the Ancient Immortal Realm; even more conservatively, the likelihood is greatest among supreme experts like Huang Lao and them.

As Miao Cuihua finished speaking, everyone present fell into silence, remaining silent for a long time without uttering a word.

Indeed, that is exactly the case; those capable of this are indeed few, and the suspects are only those few.

During this period, Huang Lao and them have always been together, never having left the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Therefore, naturally they are without suspicion, and nobody else could have done this.

But if we exclude their suspicion, the pool of suspects becomes even smaller, since anyway only a few people could accomplish this.

"You say that old geezer wouldn't really dare do such a thing, right? What could his purpose be?"

After remaining silent for a while, the Heavenly Family's ancestor also spoke, his voice full of solemnity.

As for that, Huang Lao and the three others remained silent, giving no answer.

Although no names were mentioned, everyone knows exactly who the old thing the Heavenly Family's ancestor referred to is.

For now, there are no clues or evidence, and even the motive of that old geezer's actions cannot be guessed by anyone; certainly some things must not be spoken rashly.

"No matter what, the incident has already happened; we should go see for ourselves, otherwise no one can be sure."

Huang Lao sighed and said, at present nobody has yet seen the gruesome state of Qing Song Immortal City.

If we merely rely on imagination here to wildly guess, we definitely won't figure anything out.

Only by going to Qing Song Immortal City in person can we reach a conclusion.

Others might not see anything, but given Huang Lao and the four of them's eyesight and cultivation, perhaps they could actually discern something.

As for this matter, Huang Lao and them have never considered standing by idly from start to finish.

From the moment they learned of this, Huang Lao and the four of them decided to take action.

After all, this has already touched upon the reverse scale of everyone in the Immortal Realm; if everyone acted like this, the Immortal Realm would probably have already fallen into disorder.

Don't look at the fact that there are many powers in the Immortal Realm, with major factions openly and secretly competing; there are plenty of such struggles.

Indeed, there are even some factions whose tactics are vicious, despised by people, and widely condemned.

But even so, no faction dares to completely disregard all rules.

Upon hearing Huang Lao's words, Ye Zhangqing beside him also immediately spoke up.

"Huang Lao, I also want to go."

Ye Zhangqing is also quite interested in this matter; for such a serious affair, he insists on going himself.

Upon hearing this, Huang Lao did not refuse either; with the four of them present, protecting Ye Zhangqing and the few juniors' safety poses no problem.

Moreover, after consuming the fruit of the Nine Heavens Precious Tree, Ye Zhangqing, Tianlin, and Miao Qianqian have all reached perfect cultivation in the Immortal Venerable Realm.

After merely a few more years of consolidation, they can begin attempting to break through the Ancient Immortal Mirror.

Their strength, viewed across the entire Immortal Realm, is already not weak.

Going along with them poses no problem.

Therefore, Huang Lao merely pondered briefly and then nodded in agreement.

"Then there's no delay; let's set out today."

After the words fell, the Heavenly Family's ancestor spoke decisively: since a decision has been made, let's set out directly and make all haste to Qing Song Immortal City.

The others had no objection; before departing, Ye Zhangqing said to Qi Xiong.

"Sect Master, I'll bring some of the Nine Heavens Precious Tree's fruit for Bai Hua Xianzi and the others; the rest, Sect Master, you allocate as you see fit, first raising the cultivation of you and your Shī xiōng."

The fruit needed by Bai Hua Xianzi and the several girls has already been prepared by Ye Zhangqing, in addition to the fruit previously consumed by the three of them.

Now, the fruit remaining on the Nine Heavens Precious Tree is not many; only a small half remains.

However, regarding this, Qi Xiong felt no reluctance at all; on the contrary, he spoke directly without even thinking.

"Ye Zhangqing, I'll keep the remaining fruit for you; whenever you need it, just send a word and I'll personally deliver it."

In Qi Xiong's view, the Nine Heavens Precious Tree was originally brought back by Ye Zhangqing; without Ye Zhangqing, could their Dao One Immortal Sect possibly possess such a legendary treasure?

Therefore, as for the Nine Heavens Precious Tree, Ye Zhangqing may arrange it however he wishes, and Qi Xiong has no objection.

The Sect has relied too much on Ye Zhangqing; if it weren't for him, let alone the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree, the Dao One Immortal Sect could not have developed to its present state— that is unimaginable.

In the Immortal Realm, which sect is like the Dao One Immortal Sect, having founded the sect only a few years and already successfully joined the ranks of the great sects?

One cannot speak of its strength, but its fame is in no way inferior to those old-established sects; moreover, it has attracted many disciples of extraordinary talent to join.
