Investigation and Fermenting Situation

Along the way, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice provided detailed information about the Blood Demon Tribe.

The Blood Demon Tribe was a small branch that invaded the Fierce Qi Continent. Their strength was average, with the strongest among them only reaching the initial Dou Di level.

However, the destructive power of the races on the Dou Qi Fierce Qi Continent at that time was quite strong. This was because the Blood Demon Tribe relied on drinking blood and devouring flesh to cultivate. Since the Evil Clan could not take action against them, they naturally shifted their target to the myriad races of the Fierce Qi Continent.

Wherever they went, rivers of blood flowed and countless people died. That's why, when the powerful figures of the Fierce Qi Continent began their purge, the Blood Demon Tribe suffered the most severe blows.

"I thought the Blood Demon Tribe was extinct, but I never expected there would still be some survivors!" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice said with murderous intent in its eyes.

"But why did that Blood Demon Tribe leave behind so much blood, yet not a single corpse?" Xiao Han raised his question. Logically speaking, Blood Demon Tribe that feeds on blood shouldn't have left behind so much "food."

Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice said coldly, "I don't know. Many powerful figures at the time were also searching for the answer to this question, and even captured some Blood Demon Tribe prisoners, but they never got any results."

"Perhaps it's a procedure, or maybe it's a special sacrificial ritual. All we know is that doing this will make the Blood Demon Tribe' devouring of flesh and blood more effective."

"Such behavior is entirely a memory ingrained in the blood of those beasts, a biological instinct."

"Hmm." Xiao Han didn't ask any further questions. This guy was in a bad mood right now, and he didn't want to provoke him.

Soon, Xiao Han and his companion arrived above the city where Langya Pavilion had been massacred.

Looking down, the entire city appeared dark red, with blood seeping into the cobblestone streets, and even small puddles formed by blood that had not yet dried.

The entire city has now been completely sealed off by the Langya Pavilion, and a special barrier has been set up to prevent the situation inside from being leaked. Of course, this so-called barrier cannot stop Xiao Han and his companion, who can open a back door.

Upon arriving, Xiao Han and his companion frowned, their suspicions confirmed by the nauseating stench...

Landing on the dark red street, Xiao Han asked in a deep voice, "Can we track down their location?"

It was clear that Xiao Han's aura was quite good, but his ability in this area was entirely due to the additional function of the Extreme Cold Crystal within his body.

The only one that can truly be used as a police dog is the Humanoid Heavenly Ice, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice.

Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice crouched down, lightly tapped the ground with her fingers, and closed her eyes slightly. An invisible Cold Qi spread outwards from her center to the surrounding city.

A quarter of an hour later, the former stood up and shook his head slightly, "They headed directly towards the city of the Starfall Pavilion."

According to Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's perception, after leaving this city, the Blood Demon Tribe's aura made no attempt to conceal itself as it headed towards the city where Starfall Pavilion had been massacred, as if it had already chosen its target.

Fortunately, these two cities are small in size, closest to each other among cities of the same level, and most importantly, belong to two different factions, which means they cannot openly send out teams to search for each other.

This greatly increases the difficulty of tracking.

"You mean their actions were planned?" Xiao Han was now in a bad mood. To be able to devise such an arrangement, at least the other side wasn't a bunch of fools.

And...

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes. To be able to evade the eyes of the Langya Pavilion and silently traverse the Southern Region of Central Plains, accurately understanding the jurisdiction of different forces, would be unbelievable if it weren't for a guide behind him.

Who else in the entire Central Plains, besides a certain infamous and annoying force, could possibly be capable of doing this?

"Soul Hall!" Xiao Han gritted his teeth and said, "Huang'er really didn't wrong anyone!"

Sure enough, whenever something inexplicably bad happens in Central Plains, it's always the Soul Hall who takes the blame.

"How about we make a trip to the city of the Starfall Pavilion?" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice began to solicit Xiao Han's opinion.

We're all just trying to make a living, so it's necessary to follow some basic rules.

In times of peace, unless one intends to start a war or has a suitable reason, one power cannot openly send a large number of people or top experts to another power's territory.

This is especially true for exceptionally powerful individuals like Xiao Han and Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice; although no one would dare to stop them.

Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice clearly understands the rules; if she insists on going her own way, it could cause friction and affect Langya Pavilion's reputation in Central Plains.

"Are you kidding me!" Xiao Han said nonchalantly, "How could two Dou Sheng like us be discovered by a bunch of people who aren't even Dou Zun?"

If no one notices me, then I haven't been here.

Xiao Han had previously frequently ventured into the so-called Forbidden Ground of various factions, as long as he wasn't discovered; if he was discovered...

For both close and unfamiliar relationships, use the physical amnesia method!

As for those with poor relationships, the world's forgetfulness method applies!

He... Xiao Han, has always been kind to others!

"Let's go then!" Since the boss had agreed, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice naturally had no reservations.

It's just a matter of social impact; he absolutely guarantees there won't be any problems.

While Xiao Han and his companion were investigating the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Tribe, the situation that Yi Huang feared most began to unfold.

After news of the Starfall Pavilion spread, the matter of the Langya Pavilion could no longer be concealed, infuriating Yi Huang so much that she cursed the mastermind behind it all and the incompetence of the Starfall Pavilion in her heart.

They could have kept it a little hidden, but then the Starfall Pavilion incident was exposed. Subsequently, the Langya Pavilion's unusual behavior of sealing off the city naturally aroused suspicion among a group of idle powerful figures in Central Plains.

Within days, news of the massacre in cities under the jurisdiction of the Langya Pavilion spread.

"Have you heard? A few days ago, one of the Starfall Pavilion's cities was completely massacred. Not even a single corpse was left; blood flowed like a river. Tsk tsk... How horrible!"

"Did the Starfall Pavilion offend someone? They're so ruthless!"

"So what?" One of them waved his hand dismissively, then said mysteriously, "You guys don't know, do you? One of the Langya Pavilion's cities was also massacred, and they still haven't caught anyone!"

"No way, who has the guts to massacre the city of the Langya Pavilion?" Many people found it hard to believe. As one of only two entities in the entire Central Plains capable of directly confronting the Soul Hall, Langya Pavilion's combat strength was no joke.

Moreover, they are notoriously protective of their own. If their disciples are bullied by other forces, they will send Elder to settle scores. This goes without saying, especially when it comes to a heinous act like massacring an entire city.

"Don't believe me?" the man continued, "Otherwise, why would a city in the Langya Pavilion suddenly be locked down? It's been several days since then!"

"..."

There are many similar rumors...

What angered Yi Huang was that the news spread so quickly, indicating that many powerful forces were pulling the strings behind the scenes. Even the Soul Hall probably hadn't put in this much effort.

But she had anticipated this. Langya Pavilion had been riding high recently, attracting envy from others. Now that there was a legitimate opportunity to undermine Langya Pavilion's reputation, she naturally wouldn't let it pass.

Now that things have come to this, there's only one solution—find the culprit and eliminate them.

Any other explanation would be weak and ineffective, and Xiao Han and Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice have already taken care of it.

In Yi Huang's view, with two Dou Sheng from the Langya Pavilion taking action at the same time, one of whom was her reliable husband, even if it was a scheme personally orchestrated by Hun Miesheng, the Hun Miesheng Soul Hall Master, they couldn't escape it.

And Xiao Han and the other person did not disappoint Yi Huang's trust.
