When Duanmu Haotian arrived above the Ascension Tower, he released his aura, which startled the person in charge of the Ascension Tower out of the room.
The person in charge of the Ascension Tower here is Mo Heze, a Minor Grandmaster from the Mo Family.
"What brings you here, sir?" Mo Heze quickly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Duanmu Haotian and asked.
"I need you to use the information channels of the Ascension Tower to pass on a message to Flowing Cloud Matriarch and others."
"I will certainly handle this matter properly for you, sir," Mo Heze said respectfully.
"Hmm!" Duanmu Haotian nodded slightly, and then told him about Lu Tianheng.
Before leaving, he added, "This matter must be handled urgently. If anything goes wrong, then your Mo Province Ascension Tower will have no reason to exist."
"Yes, sir, I will do my best to handle this." Mo Heze watched Duanmu Haotian's departing figure, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This lord's aura was too frightening.
They then hurriedly entered the Ascension Tower used its secret communication channels to send the information directly to He Prefecture, Mo Prefecture, Qi Prefecture, and Li Prefecture.
Based on the previous news from Tian Province, it seems that Flowing Cloud Matriarch and his group intended to enter Mo Province from Li Prefecture.
Then he would have to intercept them through the preceding counties; otherwise, the transmission speed might actually be slower than their flight speed.
If his incompetence causes Duanmu Haotian to fly into a rage and come looking for trouble at Ascension Tower, then Ascension Tower will be in real trouble.
He already knew from the person's appearance and aura that the newcomer was Duanmu Haotian, the sect leader of Haotian Sect.
Thinking about Duanmu Haotian, who hadn't appeared at Haotian Sect for several years, it was unexpected that he would be drawn out because of Lu Tianheng's matter.
He also took the opportunity to spread the news that Duanmu Haotian had already appeared in Mo Province.
After leaving Wei Prefecture, Duanmu Haotian flew straight towards He Prefecture. He wanted to be the first to get there and intercept Lu Tianheng so that he wouldn't get away.
After a night of high-speed flight, Duanmu Haotian entered He Prefecture at the crack of dawn.
After entering He Prefecture, Duanmu Haotian did not go to the county seat He City, but went directly into the mountains next to He City.
When Duanmu Haotian entered the mountain range indicated by the Martial Prohibition Hall's intelligence, he immediately sensed something was wrong, because the bloody aura of this mountain range seemed particularly strong.
Most martial artists wouldn't be able to sense it, but Duanmu Haotian was particularly sensitive to this bloody aura.
Because of the Haotian Art he cultivated, his internal energy was more sensitive to these reactions.
This time, he encountered this bloody aura, which is why he has been tracking it for several years and has not returned to Daqian.
He had already suspected that the Bloodfiend Sect had not been completely wiped out, and that some of its members had escaped overseas.
Unexpectedly, this Bloodfiend Art has now begun to spread again in the Great Qian Dynasty, and it is quite obvious that Lu Tianheng is practicing the Bloodfiend Art of the Bloodfiend Sect.
So the disappearances of many martial artists over Jianghu years were not entirely the work of the Assassination List; some of them were probably done by Lu Tianheng.
Since Lu Tianheng has been able to cultivate this Bloodfiend Art for more than ten years without being discovered, he must be cultivating it through something.
If all of this is true, then the Bloodfiend Sect has probably been planning this for a long time in the Great Qian Dynasty. Are they planning to return to the Great Qian Dynasty?
And those people I happened to run into outside, I guess they have a close relationship with the Bloodfiend Sect.
It's just that after searching overseas for so long, I still haven't found the Bloodfiend Sect's lair, which is a bit of a headache.
However, there's no rush. Let's capture Lu Tianheng first.
Duanmu Haotian followed the direction from which the bloody scent emanated, and the closer he got, the stronger the peculiar bloody smell became in his perception.
After traveling about twenty miles, Duanmu Haotian finally caught a glimpse of a figure sitting cross-legged in the distance, cultivating.
The person was surrounded by a red aura, and then absorbed the light red Essence Particles around him until the red aura around him faded a bit, before stopping his cultivation.
Duanmu Haotian did not immediately go to alert Lu Tianheng, because he was afraid that he would not be able to keep Lu Tianheng by himself.
If he gets away, he won't be so easy to find.
Therefore, he planned to wait here until the three of them, Flowing Cloud Matriarch, arrived before taking action.
He had already left marks along the way after entering the mountains, so they would find them as soon as they entered the mountains. He wasn't worried that they wouldn't be able to find this place.
Sure enough, Duanmu Haotian didn't have to wait long. As dusk approached, Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Gongsun Haoyue, and Dao Fan Shangren arrived.
When Flowing Cloud Matriarch saw Duanmu Haotian, he nodded slightly, which was his way of greeting him.
Gongsun Haoyue glanced at Duanmu Haotian, then at Dao Fan Shangren, a mocking look in her eyes.
She knew perfectly well about the feud between the two of them.
However, when Dao Fan Shangren saw Duanmu Haotian's performance, she was greatly disappointed, as she could not see any anger on Dao Fan Shangren's face.
There was no unnatural expression on Duanmu Haotian's face.
The two exchanged a brief glance before turning their heads away.
It was Flowing Cloud Matriarch spoke first, asking Duanmu Haotian, "Is Lu Tianheng still here?"
Duanmu Haotian nodded, then spread his body and led the three of them forward for several miles. At this time, the three of them saw Lu Tianheng sitting cross-legged in the distance, cultivating.
The four exchanged a glance, then held their breath, dispersed, and formed an encirclement, slowly approaching Lu Tianheng.
When the group was still a few miles away from Lu Tianheng, who was cultivating, suddenly stood up and said to Dao Fan Shangren in front of him, "I didn't expect that you would join forces with them to deal with me?"
"I didn't want to come either, but I am deeply indebted to the late Emperor. Since His Majesty has made a request, I have no choice but to come," Dao Fan Shangren said calmly to Lu Tianheng.
Duanmu Haotian looked at Lu Tianheng and said, "Lu Tianheng, you have been practicing the Bloodfiend Art. You are doomed today. If you explain the origin of this Bloodfiend Art, I can promise to spare your life."
Lu Tianheng turned and glanced at Duanmu Haotian, saying disdainfully, "You'll spare my life? Have you forgotten how your Haotian Sect treated me years ago? Do you think I'd still believe your nonsense?"
"The grudges and disputes of the past are long gone. As long as you explain this Bloodfiend Art clearly now, I can spare your life," Duanmu Haotian continued to persuade.
"Really? Then come here, and I'll tell you." Lu Tianheng said with a look of delight on his face.
Duanmu Haotian slowly approached Lu Tianheng. Lu Tianheng suddenly gathered his qi, and then a blood-red mist appeared, sweeping towards Duanmu Haotian.
