Star Raft Divine Ark

Yun Cang's face was ashen, veins bulged on his forehead, and anger raged in his eyes.

In a place only a thousand miles from Shadow City, someone actually dared to kill Golden Core elder from Limitless Island; it was simply outrageous.

His aura suddenly surged, and a chilling aura arose, causing the surrounding clouds and mist to churn.

Yun Cang immediately used his escape technique to lower his altitude and chase after the murderer.

At the same time, he raised his hand and waved it, and a long sword suddenly appeared.

The long sword gleamed with a cold light, like ice crystals frozen in the dead of winter, exuding a chilling aura.

The blade's edge flashed, revealing a power capable of splitting mountains and cleaving rivers.

Just as he was about to unleash his longsword and slay the true culprit, his aura suddenly receded.

The anger on his face was replaced by solemnity.

He suddenly realized that the killer's strength seemed to be even greater than his own.

He knew he couldn't kill Feng Lan and Duan Chuan instantly.

Considering that the murderer had previously killed the Inspector General Pang Heng.

A thought suddenly occurred to Yun Cang: the murderer seemed to be targeting the entire Limitless Island.

This thought instantly put him on alert.

The murderer is no ordinary person, but a top-tier Golden Core expert who is also skilled in using Thunder Method to counter Corpse Puppet. I'm afraid I'm no match for him!

As for why Yun Cang was so certain that the murderer was not Nascent Soul Cultivator...

First, when the murderer made his move, he roughly sensed the other party's cultivation level.

Secondly, if the murderer is Nascent Soul Cultivator, the other party will not flee, but will instead attack him.

Having thought these things through, Yun Cang realized he couldn't act impulsively. Otherwise, he too would be in danger of perishing today.

However, although we cannot fight the murderer head-on, we can still use magic to stall him. As long as we can hold him off until the sect's reinforcements arrive, the murderer will have no chance of escape.

A Jade Slip suddenly appeared in his hand, Jade Slip shattered.

In an instant, a phantom skull appeared in mid-air.

The skeletal phantom was thousands of feet tall, entirely blood red, and could be clearly seen even from a thousand miles away.

This is an emergency communication signal from Limitless Island, indicating that a fellow disciple has encountered a powerful enemy.

As he sent the signal, Yun Cang wielded his longsword, slashing down at the murderer below.

However, he was shocked to find that a cloud of blood mist suddenly rose from the dense forest where the murderer was located.

The killer's figure was now obscured by a mist of blood.

Yun Cang was unable to determine for a moment what kind of method this blood mist was.

But he had no time to think deeply; he could only continue to wield his longsword, slashing at the cloud of blood mist.

The long sword flashed like a rainbow, and wherever it passed, it seemed to cleave space in two.

As the long sword fell, wood chips flew everywhere, and dust rose in all directions.

The entire dense forest seemed to be swept away by this violent blade energy.

Whether it was trees, soil, or blood mist, everything was shredded into powder by this force.

However, the murderer vanished without a trace.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Yun Cang realized that the blood mist must be some kind of escape technique.

He immediately looked around, trying to find the murderer, but found nothing; the murderer had vanished without a trace.

After about several dozen breaths...

A figure streaked across the sky and appeared beside Yun Cang.

"Disciple Yun Cang greets Ye Hua, the Demon Venerable."

Upon recognizing the visitor as Ye Hua, Yun Cang immediately bowed and said...

Ye Hua said in a deep voice, "Yun Cang, why did you send out an emergency distress signal?"

"Reporting to the Demon Lord, your subordinates, along with Duan Chuan and Feng Lan, have been tracking down the murderer of Elder Pang Heng..."

Yun Cang briefly recounted the events.

Ye Hua frowned, his gaze sweeping across the vast forest below.

He also failed to find the slightest clue about the murderer.

"You mean, the murderer disappeared suddenly after being enveloped in the blood mist?" Ye Hua asked.

"Yes!" Yun Cang replied.

Ye Hua remained silent for a moment, as if recalling something, before slowly speaking.

"I once saw a secret technique called 'Blood Escape Technique' in an ancient book. This technique is quite miraculous; in a critical moment, the practitioner can burn their own Essence Blood to instantly escape to a distant place and flee danger."

He paused, then continued, "But according to ancient records, this technique is a secret art of the Divine Blood Sect, and it has no lineage in the Sea of Disorder. Why would it appear here?"

Yun Cang's tone carried a hint of speculation, "Could it be that someone crossed the Endless Desert and came from the Heavenly Origin Continent to the Sea of Disorder?"

Ye Hua shook his head. "That possibility is extremely low. According to what you said earlier, the murderer was just a Golden Core cultivator, and had no ability to traverse the Endless Desert. It's possible that the records in the ancient books are not entirely accurate. Perhaps there is a 'Blood Escape Technique' inheritance in the Sea of Disorder, who knows?"

As the two were talking, another figure flew by.

The person who arrived was Zhu Yin; she had also come after seeing the blood-red skull.

However, she was far slower than Ye Hua, lagging behind by a full incense stick's time.

After paying her respects to Ye Hua, Zhu Yin asked.

"Palace Master Yun, have you discovered any trace of the murderer?"

Yun Cang recounted the deaths of Feng Lan and Duan Chuan once more.

"This murderer seems to be very familiar with our Limitless Island," Zhu Yin said, her tone uncertain.

Yun Cang nodded. "I feel the same way. I suspect the murderer likely has a grudge against Limitless Island. The killings of Pang Heng, Feng Lan, and Duan Chuan were all premeditated and specifically targeted at Limitless Island."

Ye Hua said, "Immediately investigate all Golden Core cultivators near Limitless Island, including outer sect Golden Core elders, especially those Rogue Cultivators and Outer Sect Elder who practice righteous Cultivation Method. The murderer is likely hiding among them. This matter will be handled by the two of you, and you are authorized to mobilize the Star Raft Divine Ark."

"Yes, sir!" Yun Cang and Zhu Yin bowed and said.

Song Wen used the Blood Escape Technique several times in succession, escaping to a distance of eight hundred miles. Then, he leaped into a raging torrent and drifted downstream towards the sea.

He entered the sea and rode the water, heading towards the Extreme Yin Island.

This time, the deaths of Duan Chuan Feng Lan have caused quite a stir, and Limitless Island will definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

He planned to return to Extreme Yin Island to cultivate diligently for a period of time, consolidate his cultivation, and wait for the storm to pass.

It is worth mentioning that when he designed the Duan Chuan Feng Lan out, he had already prepared bait in advance, namely Wang Cheng, who was in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Song Wen disguised himself according to Wang Cheng's attire.

Duan Chuan Feng Lan mistakenly identified Wang Cheng as Song Wen, making Wang Cheng a scapegoat who died innocently.

However, Song Wen also killed two people, which can be considered as avenging Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng could rest in peace with a smile in his grave.

Song Wen found a deserted island, rested for a while, absorbed the cultivation of Duan Chuan Feng Lan, and then continued on his way.

After absorbing the Law Power of the two, Song Wen's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds again, and he was about to reach the bottleneck of the Late Golden Core Stage.
