Wang Mengde did not know what the message said, who it had been sent to, or what the recipient would do.
But he knew trouble had arrived.
Wang Mengde took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in his heart. Sweeping his surroundings with the Spirit Eye Technique, he swiftly found Alchemist Xuan Yun's corpse and the scattered magical artifacts.
He cast the Entwining Silk Technique, and the spiritual power in his hand turned into countless threads, swiftly hauling up the corpse, the dark-red Flying Sword, the long whip, a trapping formation disk, and the shattered shield.
Wang Mengde cast the Palm Thunder Technique again. Countless white-violet arcs of lightning bombarded Alchemist Xuan Yun's body.
The lightning was blinding, electric serpents danced wildly, and crackling explosions echoed across the sea.
Alchemist Xuan Yun's body convulsed violently amid the lightning. Flesh, bones, and meridians crumbled inch by inch beneath the destructive might of the thunder, turning to ash.
Only a robe, an inner armor, a gray mask, a jade bracelet, and several Second-Rank Beginner Voice Transmission Talismans remained, tangled in the Entwining Silk Technique and floating in the air.
Wang Mengde waved his hand, stuffing the storage pouch into his robes and placing the inner armor and other treasures into the pouch.
Then he activated the Sword-Controlling Technique. The mid-grade Flying Sword beneath his feet gave a clear cry and carried him rapidly toward the southwest.
The sea wind howled, and his robes snapped in the wind.
Wang Mengde's expression remained dark, his brows tightly furrowed.
The message Alchemist Xuan Yun had sent before her death weighed on his heart like a massive boulder, leaving him unable to breathe.
He did not know what awaited him, but he knew that once the news spread, endless trouble would be waiting.
