Chapter 278: Searching for Traces
Of course, Lin Feng did not sit here and wait for the Incense Master to appear by himself. If he just waited for the Incense Master to appear by himself, maybe the other party would have already succeeded in promotion by then.
As the battle between the four saints and the smoke monster became more and more intense, Lin Feng began to let various Zhiren collect the corpses of those Incense Temple disciples.
Through the corpses of these Incense Temple disciples, he should be able to learn some valuable information. Even if he couldn't find the Incense Master, at the very least, it would allow him to have a more detailed understanding of the Incense Temple's plan.
The Zhiren originally arranged by Lin Feng to go out appeared quietly in the ruins of the Incense Offering Towers in various places after the bloody massacre by the Soldier Master's army, and then began to take away the corpses of the Incense Temple disciples who had been killed.
Soon, these corpses were sent to the Xinglong Ling graveyard through the corpse-collecting Zhiren distributed in various provinces.
Soon, these corpses were directly buried by Lin Feng, and the life experiences of these corpses were quickly read by Lin Feng.
After becoming a Martial Dao Venerable, he could already achieve photographic memory, and soon the relevant information was sorted out by him one by one.
There were no surprises. These ordinary Incense Temple disciples or incense makers only knew part of the information about the entire ritual, and the usual information transmission was also completed through special incense.
For the entire ascension ritual, the status and status of these people were still low. The only thing that Lin Feng could be sure of was that the Incense Temple ancestors with higher status must know some important information!
"Those Incense Temple ancestors... they should be by the Incense Master's side or hiding now."
"The battle between saints, these guys whose strength is only at the level of Supreme Human or Half-Saint, definitely cannot intervene. The Incense Master will not let them go over to die, so they should not be in the eight provinces now."
Lin Feng understood that according to the Incense Master's planning ability, it was absolutely impossible to put people who knew his plan in a dangerous place.
So the places where those Incense Temple ancestors were most likely to exist now were only a few places, either following the Incense Master or in their own lair.
"Immediately let the Zhiren go to that Incense Temple ancient town!"
"There should be something useful to be found there, but I don't know if that place is already empty now?"
Soon, Lin Feng made a decision. As the location of the Incense Temple's true mountain gate, the specific location of the Incense Temple ancient town had never been known to outsiders.
But Lin Feng had buried many important Incense Temple personnel, so he was naturally quite clear about the situation there.
So a long time ago, he had arranged for some assassin Zhiren to go there to investigate, but at that time, he did not go deep into it to avoid alerting the enemy.
However, the dark pieces buried before could be used just right now. Following Lin Feng's order, some hidden Zhiren began to act again soon.
The corpse-collecting Zhiren closest to that ancient town also began to act. After all, relying solely on a few assassin Zhiren was naturally unable to invade the other party's lair. According to Lin Feng's estimation, it was still necessary to use the power of the Black Jade Dark Gold Talisman.

Just as Lin Feng was manipulating the Zhiren to search for the traces of the Incense Temple ancestors, the battle over the eight provinces seemed to be coming to an end.
Facing the simultaneous action of the four saints, the monster formed by smoke condensation also began to be unable to hold on. The strength of this monster was indeed very powerful, but it had not yet reached the point of being able to defeat the four powerful saints.
At this time, the monster's body began to fall apart and was on the verge of collapse. A large number of eyeballs, hair, and fingers were constantly dissipating under the attacks of the four saints.
Soon, the entire monster turned back into clumps of lead-gray smoke. At this time, heavy Ghost Domains spread over, and these smokes were instantly divided by the four saints.
Don't look at the fact that these four people just attacked the smoke monster mercilessly, but this was something formed after countless people were sacrificed by the Incense Temple, which contained a large amount of spiritual awareness voluntarily offered by incense-offering believers.
This was also a huge harvest for the saints. With these things, they would not have to worry about the side effects of their own Guiyi for at least a hundred years.
As the four saints divided these smokes, the normal sacrificial ritual seemed to have been completely interrupted. After all, without these smokes, the Incense Master's idea of being promoted to a god and man became rootless water.
The people still alive in various parts of the eight provinces watched the sky gradually recover, and the oppressive feeling in their hearts relaxed slightly.
The sect leaders, elders, and others in various places were watching the changes in the battle in the sky while looking at the casualties reported by their subordinates.
"Sigh, only two out of ten disciples sent out this time returned! A heavy loss!"
"Fortunately, there were saints who took action, otherwise, if that monster was allowed to rage, I am afraid that all living people in the eight provinces would be completely dead!"
"Now the foundation of the Incense Temple has also been destroyed by more than half, I am afraid it is also seriously injured. Next, we should immediately arrange for disciples to continue searching for Incense Temple personnel, and must completely wipe them out!"
"However, why did that Incense Master never appear from beginning to end? I don't feel at ease in my heart if this person doesn't fall!"
"..."
In the sky, just as the four saints began to withdraw their power and prepare to leave, three old men with the same appearance slowly appeared in mid-air.
These three were the three incarnations of the Incense Master. Appearing at this time, even without radiating any momentum, attracted countless gazes.
After these three appeared, their eyes looked at the surrounding void, and then they spoke directly:
"Since you are all here, why not show up and see me?"
From beginning to end, the four saints never appeared directly to take action, but took action from the air through various means.
At this time, the Incense Master appeared, and the four saints were still the same, but after hearing the Incense Master speak, they also responded with a sentence.
"Blood sacrifice to the eight provinces, thousands of living people will die because of you. The slaughter is too heavy, and you will inevitably be backlashed!"
"More talk is useless. Today, he should be eliminated together!"
"His three incarnations... why is the aura so familiar?"
Facing the words of these saints, the Incense Master had a mocking smile on his face, and then spoke lightly, directly and mercilessly exposing the purpose of these saints:
"Are you here to act on behalf of heaven? Since you are here to seize my opportunity to become a god, why be so secretive?"
Neither side was a good person. On the contrary, each was a ruthless person who would do anything to achieve their goals, otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve the status of a saint.
At this time, hearing the Incense Master mercilessly expose their thoughts, the four saints no longer hesitated, and various Guiyi powers expanded again.
"More talk is useless!"
"Execute this person!"
"Act!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
However, at this moment, an inexplicable fluctuation occurred between heaven and earth, and then the blockade originally formed against the smoke monster began to be forcibly destroyed from the outside.
Chapters composed of a large number of characters appeared out of thin air. These characters seemed to be intangible and formless. Even in the face of streaks of thunder and the sharp sword array, they dissipated immediately, but ignored the obstruction and began to fly toward the smoke monster.
"How dare you!"
"Hmph! This old thing finally appeared!"
"Today, he must be executed!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Facing the terrifying attacks erupted by the four saints at the same time, the three incarnations of the Incense Master took action immediately.
"Mountains and rivers collapse!"
"The world is like a furnace!"
"The human heart is like ice!"
The three incarnations each used a move, and the power of the three combined was terrifying.
Immediately, the mountains and rivers shook, flames burned the sky, and the intent of death permeated. At this moment, whether it was the Thunder Master, the Temple Master, or the Soldier Master in the sky and on the ground, they were all affected.
Their attacks were instantly blocked, and only the Sword Master's sword array could be maintained, but it was also dimmed a lot at this time. ===== CHAPTER 279 =====
