"Yin Huacheng, is he dead?"

The single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone was greatly surprised.

Yin Huacheng the one with the highest cultivation level among the people from Clear Abyss Sect who came this time.

There weren't many people present who dared to say they were certain of defeating him.

Dead?!

"He really did die, just a mile from the village, and his body has already been brought back."

You could tell from the deathly pale faces of the disciples of Burning Jade Forest.

Yin Huacheng not only died, but he died a very tragic death.

In an instant, countless eyes turned toward the group from Clear Abyss Sect.

However, most of the Clear Abyss Sect members remained calm and showed no signs of the expected anger or agitation.

It was as if a stranger had died.

Li Mo, with a solemn expression, said:

"I suspect there's something fishy about this. Let's go check it out."

The wind and rain remain the same.

Tonight will surely be a sleepless night.

In the front hall of the Dongli Manor, there was a straw mat with faint bloodstains seeping out. If it weren't for Yin Huacheng, it would be hard to believe that the dead person was a human.

"That's terrible."

"Who... who killed him?"

"I don't even know what weapon they're using, but it certainly isn't a sword or saber."

"Hiss... A dignified Five Apertures of Divine Observation didn't even have a chance to cry for help; he was instantly killed in one blow!"

Everyone started discussing it, their faces showing fear, unease, and uncertainty.

Yin Huacheng is considered a strong person in the Divine Observation Realm.

Now, however, they are being crushed like a chick.

"Someone has already been sent to inform the elders."

"Senior Brother Ouyang, what do you think?"

"Brother Tie, what about you?"

Luo Yu turned his gaze to the two of them.

One of them was the second-highest level disciple in the Clear Abyss Sect, and also the chief disciple of Ruyi Peak.

Tie Qi was not only the eldest disciple of the Gangdou Sect, but also an experienced swordsmith.

"The killer did not use Internal Breath or Will Soul."

Ouyang was a young man with a somewhat sorrowful expression. He shook his head as he looked at Yin Huacheng's corpse.

Didn't Will Soul?

Didn't you use Internal Breath?

In other words, Yin Huacheng was beaten to death by brute force?

Hiss...

A chorus of gasps filled the arena.

Using brute force to kill someone at the Divine Observation Realm —is that something a human could do?

That's too brutal.

"The weapon used by the perpetrator should be... a hammer!"

"Moreover, that person only made one move."

"The person who made the move must be an assassin from the Drizzle Pavilion, practicing an extremely domineering body-refining technique."

Tie Qi's expression was extremely grave.

That's all he could tell, since he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

"With a hammer?"

"Kill with a single blow?"

"Drizzle Pavilion?"

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, and the more timid among them swallowed hard.

Bai Jinghong's arrogance vanished, and she began to silently plot in her mind.

The more he pondered, the paler his face became.

If he were in a different place, his fate would probably be similar.

Yin Huacheng also cultivated a body-refining technique, which he knew, and in terms of physique alone, his was slightly stronger than Yin Huacheng's.

Could there really be such a terrifying existence in this small Eastern Wasteland?

"It's the Northwest Hammer King!"

At that moment, a young girl's voice spoke.

What the heck?

Many eyes turned to Luo Yao, who had just spoken.

"Yes, it's the Northwest Hammer King."

"I've seen him in action before; he smashed Night Ghost Liu Heng into a pulp with a single hammer blow."

"And judging from his voice, he's not very old; he must be an older brother."

Luo Yao tilted her little face up, looking quite pleased with herself.

Luo Yu fell into deep thought. He used to disregard the existence of this Northwest Hammer King, but now he was genuinely starting to have doubts.

Everyone fell silent, deep in thought.

An extremely brutal and vicious assassin from the Drizzle Pavilion, who enjoys killing people with a single blow of a hammer, is nearby.

As is customary, they should have been in high spirits, said a few polite words, and expressed their full support for Clear Abyss Sect in apprehending the murderer, thus making the scene look impressive.

No one dared to do it.

What if the assailant hasn't gone far?

"Under the bright sun, in broad daylight!"

A very angry voice rang out.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking out at the dark, windy, and rainy night.

"You audacious madman! How dare you attack and kill my sect's disciples!"

"I, Li Mo, am sworn enemies with him!"

The boy finished eating the watermelon and smashed it on the ground, saying with righteous indignation.

The young talents present all blushed slightly.

They were so afraid that they didn't dare utter a sound.

Look at them, how upright and honest they are, how noble and virtuous they are, how daring they are to be pioneers!

I've heard that this Disciple Li a public-spirited and righteous man who hates evil, and the rumors are indeed true!

"Brother Li is generous!"

"Brother Li is perfectly fine!"

The room erupted in cheers, with some giving a thumbs-up and others clapping enthusiastically.

But the cheers quickly stopped.

Because... the wind and rain outside seemed to have suddenly stopped?

No, it's not that the wind and rain have stopped, but rather that all the rainwater is frozen in place and unable to fall.

It is the domain of those with profound Inner Scene.

Yin Huaxuan walked in expressionlessly, but his aura was like that of a furious lion.

He was accompanied by many powerful experts from the Inner Scene of various forces within the Purple Sun Prefecture.

They had just searched the area within a hundred miles, leaving no stone unturned, but they couldn't find a single clue.

If the other party didn't grow wings and fly away, then there's only one possibility.

"Come out."

"I already know about you."

The voice echoed, deafeningly loud, and almost everyone was stunned at that moment, the alarming sound penetrating to the depths of their hearts.

Everyone has a feeling of something stuck in their throat, as if their secrets have nowhere to hide.

Li Mo also felt as if he were being targeted by a ferocious beast.

But he showed no sign of unease whatsoever.

That's it? It's nowhere near as good as Master.

Yin Huaxuan's gaze lingered on Li Mo for a moment.

He remembered that Yin Huacheng had a conflict with him when they left the sect.

But...

This young man is skilled with a sword, and he's only at the Inner Breath Realm...

"Elder Yin Hua, the murderer may not be here."

"Who knows what cunning methods the thieves from the Drizzle Pavilion used to escape?"

"I, Burning Jade Forest, will assist you in your investigation."

The middle-aged man in the scholar's robe spoke, breaking the elegant atmosphere.

"That person might have come for the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm."

"Yes, they will definitely appear in the secret realm at that time. If any of my disciples have any news, they will definitely share it with each other."

The other experts at the Inner Scene also spoke up.

"Yao'er."

"You've seen that man; come and tell us what his features are."

After all, the incident happened within the territory of Burning Jade Forest.

They also attached great importance to the death of a True Disciple of the Clear Abyss Sect.

That very night, all the elites of the sect were dispatched, along with several Inner Scene, causing quite a commotion. For a time, Qinghe County was in a state of panic, and even petty theft ceased.

But despite all the commotion, there were never many results.

Moreover, Qinghe County is no longer dominated by them alone. Some forces, though not rooted in Purple Sun Prefecture, are beyond their ability to thoroughly investigate.

This grand undertaking was destined from the start to be all bark and no bite.

Moreover, the Blood Phoenix Secret Realm is about to open.

Those who will die then will not be just one True Disciple.

Red Maple Mountain, fifty miles away from Qinghe County.

The maple leaves here bloom year-round, maintaining their crimson color throughout the year. Today, their vibrant red is even more alluring, as if they are about to dye the clouds crimson.

It's unknown whether this has any connection to the Blood Phoenix that perished here.

Now, the four directions are in turmoil, and countless martial artists from all sides are gathering here.

The secret realm is about to open.
