Ch. 562The Slaughter of Saliker Duchy
After Saliker Duchy was massacred, Ning Bei and Qian Renxue concluded that Tang San was sacrificing civilians to master the Shura Sword and searched the continent for him. A month later, their search had failed, while Tang San remained hidden near Spirit City in an old man's disguise.
- Ning Bei and Qian Renxue investigated Saliker Duchy and found its residents dead, with battle marks and blood-drained corpses suggesting Tang San had used them as sacrifices to temper the Shura Sword.
- Ning Bei and Qian Renxue searched separate regions for Tang San, then returned to Heaven Dou and enlisted A'Dai and Nami to join the hunt.
- Ning Bei, Qian Renxue, A'Dai, Nami, and Ah Yin searched the continent for a month but found no trace of Tang San or further massacres.
- Ning Bei suggested that Tang San might have acquired a concealment method through his God Trial, and Qian Renxue agreed to have Ah Yin place informants in densely populated cities.
- Tang San stayed disguised as a hunched old man in a remote village near Spirit City, relying on his evolved soul bones and Ten Thousand Year Chameleon Soul Bone to evade A'Dai's searches.
