A Thought Bestows Blessing, The Crocodile Ancestor's Armor Ascends to Emperor Armament

Above the East Sea, three streaks of light shot forward like lightning, tearing through the sky and leaving behind three long white wakes.

Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao, the three sisters, were burning with anxiety, pushing their escape techniques to the limit.

Yun Xiao flew at the forefront, her expression icy, not uttering a word, only constantly calculating their position. When Zhao Gongming left Golden Ao Island, he had told them he was going to find a secluded immortal island in the depths of the East Sea to go into seclusion. They were now trying to find the place where their elder brother had last appeared.

Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao followed closely behind, their faces also etched with unshakeable grief and indignation.

"Eldest Sister, who do you think did this?" Bi Xiao couldn't help but break the silence, "Was it those hypocrites from the Heavenly Origin Sect? Big Brother killed three of their Golden Immortals, and they held a grudge, asking Venerable Yuanshi to take action?"

This was their most direct guess. After all, during the Calamity, the conflict between the Intercepting Sect and the Heavenly Origin Sect was the greatest.

Qiong Xiao snorted coldly, gnashing her teeth as she said, "Besides them, who else could it be? That Old Man Yuanshi is the most protective of his own, and he looks down on us disciples of the Intercepting Sect the most. He must have disregarded his Saintly dignity and secretly struck the killing blow!"

"But Master said that Saints from the Western Teachings were involved..." Yun Xiao's voice came from ahead, tinged with hoarseness and confusion, "This matter is probably not as simple as it seems."

"Western Teachings?" Bi Xiao blinked in surprise, "Those two bald donkeys have always stayed out of Eastern affairs. Why would they suddenly try to kill my Big Brother?"

"What else could it be?" A glint of disdain flashed in Qiong Xiao's eyes, "Those two are notoriously greedy and have faces thicker than city walls. They must have had their eyes on Big Brother's Sea Calming Divine Beads and Qiankun Ruler!"

This guess was quite in line with the usual behavior of the two Saints of the West.

"But even if it was them, why would the Heavenly Origin Sect be involved?" Yun Xiao's brow furrowed tightly, "I always feel like there's an invisible net behind this, calculating everyone involved."

She had always been meticulous, and her intuition told her that her Big Brother's death was shrouded in mist and far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.

"Whatever their schemes and tricks!" Bi Xiao said hatefully, "Once we get there and find clues, whether it's the Heavenly Origin Sect or the Western Teachings, they won't escape! They killed Big Brother, so they have to pay with their lives!"

As they spoke, they had already flown tens of millions of miles, deep into the heart of the East Sea.

The surrounding scenery began to turn chaotic.

The once calm sea surface was filled with churning giant waves and terrifying spatial rifts. Many immortal islands had been reduced to bare reefs, or even wiped directly off the face of the sea. In the air, residual traces of a heart-palpitating, Saint-level terrifying pressure lingered.

"This is it..."

Yun Xiao stopped, hovering in mid-air, looking at the completely destroyed sea area below. Her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

This was her Big Brother's final battlefield.

Just by sensing the residual Magical Power fluctuations in the air, they could imagine what a tragic battle had taken place here.

"Such powerful strength... Saints definitely acted here!" Qiong Xiao's expression became extremely grave.

That Saintly pressure, which transcended the Heavenly Dao, made them tremble in soul even after some time had passed.

"Big Brother..." Bi Xiao looked at the devastated scene below, her eyes reddening again. She could imagine how isolated and helpless, and how desperate, her Big Brother must have been here.

Yun Xiao forcibly suppressed the grief in her heart, closed her eyes, and spread out her divine sense, carefully sensing every trace of energy remaining in the world.

"There... there are two Saintly auras."

A moment later, Yun Xiao opened her eyes, filled with shock.

"Two?" Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao were also surprised.

"That's right." Yun Xiao's face turned extremely grim, "One aura is solemn and majestic, yet carries a faint trace of cunning. It should be that of Saint Zhunti of the Western Teachings. The other aura, though very faint, almost dissipated, I can feel it is the Jade Purity Immortal Light of our Eastern Mystic Gate... It's Uncle-Master Yuanshi!"

"What? Old Man Yuanshi was here too?" Bi Xiao exclaimed in disbelief.

This discovery caused the hearts of the three sisters to instantly sink to the bottom.

Two Saints!

Their Big Brother had faced two Saints simultaneously?

How was this possible? Why would two Saints appear here at the same time to deal with their Big Brother?

"No... that's not right." Yun Xiao sensed again carefully and shook her head, "Uncle-Master Yuanshi's aura is very weak and flashed by quickly. It doesn't seem like he acted personally, but more like... a disciple of his used a magical treasure or talisman he bestowed."

"Hmph! It's the same thing!" Qiong Xiao said coldly, "It must have been someone from the Heavenly Origin Sect who invited Zhunti to jointly attack Big Brother!"

This deduction seemed to explain why two Saints would appear at the same time.

"Let's go down and take a look."

Yun Xiao said, leading the way towards the largest, bare reef at the bottom of the sea that had been battered into submission.

This was the core area of the battle.

As soon as they landed on the reef, the three of them smelled a lingering scent of blood.

On a smooth rock, there was still a patch of dried, dark red bloodstains.

Yun Xiao reached out and gently touched the bloodstain. Within it, she could sense a bloodline aura she was most familiar with.

It was Big Brother's blood.

"Big Brother..." Bi Xiao could no longer hold back, crouching down and bursting into tears.

Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao also had red-rimmed eyes, their hearts feeling as if they were being twisted by knives.

Just then, Yun Xiao's gaze was attracted by something not far away.

It was a seemingly ordinary copper coin with wings, lying quietly in a crack in the rocks, still stained with a trace of blood.

"What is this?"

Yun Xiao walked over and picked up the copper coin.

As the copper coin entered her hand, a peculiar innate Dao charm, specifically designed to counter all treasures in the world, flowed into her hand.

"This magic treasure... is so strange." Qiong Xiao also leaned in, examining the copper coin. "It seems to possess the power of law specifically for disarming people of their treasures."

"Treasure Dropping Golden Coin?" Yun Xiao, having read extensively, had a flash of inspiration, recalling an ancient legend.

"You mean, the accompanying spirit treasure of the rogue cultivators Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao from Mount Wuyi, as told in legends?" Qiong Xiao also realized.

"That's right," Yun Xiao nodded. "But why would their magic treasure appear here? And stained with blood?"

The three sisters exchanged glances, seeing a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

Could their elder brother's death be related to these two unknown rogue cultivators?

But with their cultivation, how could they possibly be involved in a battle at the Saint level?
