Meanwhile, in the main hall at the center of the village where the Cloudveil Waterside Pavilion stood.
The sounds outside the hall gradually faded, then vanished altogether.
Only then did Luo Yi accept the Jade Slip Wei Beichen had found in Proprietor Zhou Tongwei's Storage Artifact after dealing with the Cloudveil Waterside Pavilion's cultivators.
Luo Yi sent his Divine Soul into it. A flood of information poured into his mind, and his face darkened until it looked ready to drip water.
Behind every entry in the Jade Slip lay countless lives the Cloudveil Waterside Pavilion had bought from various factions at enormous expense.
The sheer volume of information—and the number of ordinary people and cultivators the Cloudveil Waterside Pavilion had secretly harmed over the years—was enough to make anyone's face change at the mention of it.
With every Cloudveil Waterside Pavilion cultivator slain, Chen Tai'an and Du Yueji were on their way to report back. The moment they entered the hall, they saw Luo Yi's expression.
The young man's face was twisted with ferocity. Chen Tai'an had seen him look that way against demons, but almost never against Human Race cultivators.
For some reason, Chen Tai'an suddenly recalled the scenes of the young man wiping out the former imperial Qi Family in the Great Qi Dynasty.
Someone's in trouble!
No sooner had the thought arisen than he followed the young man's gaze to the deacons of the Heavenly Flower Sect and Heavenly Maiden Sect standing nearby.
Sensing the young man's hostile gaze, the deacons' hearts lurched.
Clearly, no matter how carefully they had hidden their deeds, they could not account for a pig of an accomplice who liked keeping records.
The Jade Slip in the young man's hand plainly contained evidence of their secret collusion with the Cloudveil Waterside Pavilion.
