Heavenly Moon Realm, Cold Moon Continent.
Cold Moon Mountain Range. Bian Lang stood atop a towering peak, gazing at the scorched earth below with an icy expression.
Several dozen Cold Moon Clan cultivators stood nearby, their faces filled with grief.
"Elder Bian, we searched carefully. Not a single corpse was left behind. The buildings and formations were all destroyed. The enemy cleaned up thoroughly, leaving no trace behind."
A pot-bellied golden-robed elder said cautiously.
"Four Mahayana cultivators remained in the Heavenly Moon Realm. How could the clan have been exterminated? Guan Xin, can you still contact the other Mahayana cultivators of our clan?"
Bian Lang asked with a frown.
"We can't contact them. However, Elder Bian once gave orders for us to gather maps of the Seven-Rainbow Grotto-Heaven."
Guan Xin answered truthfully.
When the incident occurred, he had been away on business and thus escaped disaster.
"Gather maps of the Seven-Rainbow Grotto-Heaven? What treasures does the Seven-Rainbow Grotto-Heaven contain?"
Bian Lang asked, frowning.
"A Mahayana cultivator encountered an eighth order Demon Bird with Vermilion Bird bloodline in the Seven-Rainbow Grotto-Heaven and was killed by it. A wisp of his divided soul escaped. Once the news spread, Elder Bian ordered us to gather maps of the Seven-Rainbow Grotto-Heaven. We went out to gather information, but by the time we returned to the Cold Moon Mountain Range, this place had already become a field of scorched earth."
Guan Xin said slowly.
"An eighth order Demon Bird with Vermilion Bird bloodline! Could it be a True Spirit?"
Bian Lang's expression darkened.
As far as he knew, there had been as many as four Cold Moon Clan Mahayana cultivators remaining in the Heavenly Moon Realm. Even if a powerful enemy attacked, they should have been able to flee if they could not win! Unless
