Under the sweeping influence of the Divine Phoenix Fire, the entire dense forest was engulfed in flames!
Space has been distorted to its extreme!
Dozens of people came out of the courtyard, but their expressions were all unusually calm.
Looking up at Huang Qian and the others, he seemed completely unsurprised by their arrival.
Huang Qian calmly looked down and said, "Would you rather die a quick and painless death by revealing meaningful information, or slowly perish under the scorching heat of this Divine Phoenix Fire?"
The intensity of the Divine Phoenix Fire was beyond their ability to withstand.
Within the Xin Clan, only Xin Hongyi possessed the strength to perhaps slightly resist the power of the Divine Phoenix Fire Divine Phoenix Fire, while the others were utterly insignificant in the face of it.
Even some people of lower cultivation levels had already collapsed to the ground under the scorching heat of the Divine Phoenix Fire.
"No need to waste your energy." The Xin Clan patriarch's face was flushed, and his pupils were somewhat unfocused, but his expression remained calm as he smiled, "Since we've already done it, we naturally knew that you would one day find out about us."
"I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly."
Huang Qian nodded without saying anything more.
With a wave of his hand, the Divine Phoenix Fire swept across the entire courtyard!
Countless people died amidst screams!
Finally, when the Divine Phoenix Fire was still some distance from the Xin Clan patriarch, it paused, condensing into several Divine Phoenix Fire that bound him!
The chains of the Divine Phoenix Fire burned all over the body of the Xin Clan patriarch.
Huang Qian showed no mercy whatsoever; with a slight clench of her hand, the chains tightened instantly!
The head of the Xin Clan frowned.
His Five Viscera were being burned, and even his Dantian was directly destroyed by Huang Qian!
In case he wants to self-destruct his Dantian...
The patriarch's face contorted in pain, yet he still managed a ferocious smile, gritting his teeth as he cackled, " The Evil Devil Domain will inevitably descend, and you are powerless to stop it."
Even if you kill me, it won't make any difference!
Huang Qian looked at the patriarch and said calmly, "Do you think death is easy?"
The patriarch laughed loudly, "It's naturally not easy for others, but what difficulty is there for us people of the Evil Devil Domain?"
After saying that, a large amount of bloodline power was condensing and compressing within the patriarch's body!
Liu Ziru's expression changed drastically. "He's going to have his bloodline spontaneously ignite!"
Spontaneous bloodline combustion is generally Secret Method used to suddenly unleash one's full power.
However, if the speed of spontaneous combustion is accelerated and the body is completely burned away, then the person's soul and Five Viscera will be completely burned to ashes!
Upon hearing this, Huang Qian frowned, formed hand seals, and sent a mark towards the patriarch!
Seal of Suppression!
But it was all too late.
The patriarch's soul had been completely burned away; not a single body remained, inside or out!
Huang Qian's face turned extremely ugly as she watched this scene. She hadn't expected such a move.
At the same time, he also felt guilty for not fulfilling Lu Changsheng's request.
Lu Changsheng's idea was to let her leave a few people behind so he could interrogate them later.
They all died...
Not even their soul remained...
Liu Ziru stepped forward and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. You can't find many people in the entire Mortal Realm who can achieve this effect by spontaneously igniting their bloodline."
"Moreover..." Liu Ziru looked at the courtyard, and none of the buildings in the courtyard had been burned down. Huang Qian had deliberately avoided these when she used the Divine Phoenix Fire.
"That old scoundrel said we arrived sooner than he expected, which means there's a good chance they haven't completely destroyed all the clues."
Huang Qian nodded and sighed softly, "That's all we can hope for now, otherwise, that guy will blame me when he gets back..."
Huang Qian, Liu Ziru, Xiao Shitou, and Xiangliu all began to carefully search for the remaining clues.
What about the Bone-Winged Serpent Tiger and the Zhu Jiuyin Yin?
Okay, let them play outside.
However, during the exploration, although the secret chamber was found, it showed signs of damage.
It was just a bit rushed...
It had clearly been extensively damaged shortly before their arrival.
At this moment.
Liu Ziru sent a message.
"Come to me, I've found a clue!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately followed the sound.
When they arrived at the location, they saw a pool of blood.
Although the bloodline power and cultivation level within this blood pool have been largely exhausted, it is still possible to discern remnants of bloodline power and immense cultivation within it...
Liu Ziru frowned as he looked at the blood pool and said, " Xin Hongyi's ability to rapidly increase her strength is probably due to blood exchange and empowerment through the blood pool."
Xiangliu nodded in agreement, saying, "Such a large-scale bloodline exchange and empowerment, given the opponent's strength, has probably been planned for dozens of generations..."
"But what can we find through these?" Xiao Shitou asked from the side.
Liu Ziru chuckled lightly and said, "Have you forgotten who I am?"
The Five-Star Deacon of the Dark Domain can be said to be the most powerful intelligence force in the entire Mortal Realm at present.
Special methods are naturally used when gathering intelligence.
"These bloodlines and cultivation levels have already been integrated into Xin Hongyi's body. In that case, these remaining bloodlines can be of great use." Liu Ziru, holding a special jade bottle, stood beside the blood pool absorbing its energy and smiled, saying, "For example, tracking?"
While tracking bloodline auras cannot reach High-Latitude Realm from the Low-Latitude Realm, it can at least immediately detect the presence of the other party when they are no more than three star domains apart!
Even so, finding the other party might still be quite difficult, right?
Liu Ziru nodded. "I will consult with the Dark Lord and dispatch forces from the Dark Domain to search various star systems, taking this blood aura with me."
At this moment, Xiao Shitou suddenly pointed to the bottom of the blood pool and said, "There seems to be something down there."
Is there something?
Everyone looked over, but saw nothing.
"There are signs of Power of Space distortion," Xiao Shitou said. "I'll go down and take a look."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to stop him, Xiao Shitou jumped down!
Huang Qian and Xiangliu kept their eyes fixed on the ground below. If anything happened to Xiao Shitou, they would immediately rush to his aid!
When the Xiao Shitou sank to the bottom of the blood pool.
In the cracks between the rocks at the bottom, the space seemed to be torn apart!
Seeing this, Xiao Shitou flicked his finger, and the torn space instantly split open!
Among them was a blood-red token!
There was a strange incantation engraved on it, but Xiao Shitou didn't suspect anything and put it into his spatial ring.
However, the moment the blood-red token was picked up, all the blood in the blood pool was sucked into the space!
The Xiao Shitou immediately darted out of the pool.
"What is it?" Huang Qian asked as she stepped forward.
Xiao Shitou took out the blood-red token, and both Huang Qian and Liu Ziru shook their heads.
Only Xiangliu frowned and said, "This incantation seems familiar..."
