What a pity.
He raised his head and glanced at the remaining Taiyi cultivators aboard the dragon ship.
There were still quite a few of them, all passengers passing through Flower-Fruit Mountain on their way into the Upper Domain.
This group had kept a low profile. After the dragon ship met with disaster, they had made virtually no moves, merely securing their own disciples.
Naturally, the treasure thieves could not have had only one Taiyi.

Therefore, there should be other accomplices inside the dragon ship, especially helpers at the Taiyi realm.
Though Li Su was powerful, his realm was what it was. His methods were not particularly effective against Taiyi cultivators. He had directly probed souls from the spiritual level and uncovered quite a few problematic True Immortals, but Taiyi cultivators were another matter altogether.
