"I..."
Just as Luo Tong was about to reveal more, he suddenly stiffened and collapsed.
His eyes were wide open, but he was lifeless!
Lin Heng just sensed it; an extremely malevolent energy erupted in Luo Tong's sea of consciousness, instantly obliterating Luo Tong's soul!
"It must be the Blood Soul Devil Curse of the Devil Race!"
Lin Heng had also heard that if Human Race wanted to join the Devil Race, they needed to accept the Devil Race's Blood Soul Devil Curse.
Once this curse is cast, the soul will be obliterated when betraying the Devil Race!
"Senior..."
"No need for further explanation, just report the facts to your superiors!"
Lin Heng vanished in a flash, disappearing without a trace.
Ren Rulong calmed himself down and then went to invite Vice Dean Dongfang Xi over.
After carefully examining Luo Tong's body, Dongfang Xi instructed Ren Rulong, "This matter must not be publicized. Tonight, pretend nothing happened, understand?"
"The student understands!"
Ren Rulong nodded.
He also realized that if the news that a Quasi-God instructor of the Great Xia Divine Martial Institute was Devil Race spy spread, it would inevitably cause panic and have an extremely bad impact!
The bigwigs of the Divine Martial Institute and the powerful members of the royal family will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.
On the way here, Ren Rulong explained everything about himself and that mysterious master to Dongfang Xi without hiding anything.
Ren Rulong even dared to ask Dongfang Xi if that mysterious expert might be the Dean.
Dongfang Xi replied at the time, "It might be the Dean, or it might not!"
Dongfang Xi was also wondering, could it really be the Dean?
During the great battle between the Nanhua Kingdom and the demon race, the Dean also participated and was even injured.
After that battle, the Dean had been in seclusion recuperating from his injuries. Why would he suddenly emerge to promote a student?
If it wasn't the Dean, then who was this mysterious expert?
He could easily subdue Luo Tong and force Luo Tong to tell the truth, so he must be a God Realm expert!
However, apart from the Dean, there are no other experts at the God Realm Great Xia Divine Martial Institute!
A powerful being from outside the God Realm?
While pondering the matter, Dongfang Xi gathered up Luo Tong's body and returned to the Great Xia Imperial Palace to request an audience with His Majesty the Emperor and his uncle, Dongfang Lin!
"If it's not the dean, it's probably Hong San!"
Emperor Dongfang Anbang of the Great Xia Dynasty said, " Hong San is Quasi-God has achieved Divine Soul. If he masters a powerful soul technique, he can completely control Luo Tong's consciousness!"
Dongfang Anbang and Dongfang Lin were surprised, but not overly astonished, that Luo Tong was Devil Race spy.
Infiltration and espionage among the various races of the Divine Firmament Continent have been ongoing in secret, and there are even Devil Race who have defected to the Human Race!
"Yes! Luo Tong wanted to harm the Little Prince of Chishui, and Hong San had every reason to take action against Luo Tong!"
Dongfang Lin nodded and added.
Why did Luo Tong promote Ren Rulong?
Dongfang Xi asked doubtfully, " Hong San is loyal to the Little Prince of Chishui, but Ren Rulong is in love with Little Sister Yaoyao. Who should Hong San promote? He shouldn't have promoted Ren Rulong!"
"That shows you're not thinking things through!"
Dongfang Lin explained with a smile, "Although the Little Prince of Chishui has terrifying talent and an incredibly strong foundation in martial arts, he's too lazy! Hong San doesn't dare to reprimand his master, nor does he dare to discipline him strictly, so he's taken a different approach, putting pressure on the Little Prince of Chishui by promoting Ren Rulong!"
"Hmm, that makes sense!"
Dongfang Anbang expressed his agreement with the Imperial Uncle's speculation.
"Regardless of whether that mysterious person is Hong San or not, don't go to Hong San to question him. In any case, that mysterious person hasn't done anything wrong, and he even helped us find a Devil Race spy, so he must be a strong person on our side!"
Dongfang Lin added, "If it's the dean, we don't need to ask too many questions!"
" The Alchemy Dao Conference will begin in a few days!"
"At that time, not only will top alchemists from all over our Great Xia Empire come, but also many from various kingdoms. The participants will be a mixed bag, so we must be careful and do our best to make this grand event a success!"
Dongfang Anbang and Dongfang Xi nodded together.
"After the battle in the Nanhua Kingdom, the individual Demon Race or Devil Race race no longer holds an advantage over our Human Race, and I estimate that neither race will dare to act recklessly anymore!"
Dongfang Xi said rather optimistically.
"The demon and monster races have indeed become much more low-key!"
Dongfang Anbang then asked, "Should our Great Xia Imperial Clan still send Dongfang Yan to participate in this Alchemy Dao Conference?"
"Of course, there's no better candidate!"
In the northwestern region of the Great Xia Empire, there is a mountain range called the Dragon Spine Mountain Range.
The Mystic Purity Sect, the top sect of the Divine Firmament Human Race, is located in the center of this mountain range!
At this moment, Duanmu Lan, the Supreme Elder of the Mystic Purity Sect, arrived at Elegant Bamboo Peak within the sect!
Elegant Bamboo Peak is the territory of Elder Ji Xin, one of the eight elders of the Mystic Purity Sect!
Elder Ji Xin is a woman, and she only accepts female disciples, which means there are no men on the entire Elegant Bamboo Peak!
Duanmu Lan came here for two reasons: first, to visit one of her granddaughters and one of her great-granddaughters; and second, to discuss the Alchemy Dao Conference with Elder Ji Xin.
The Mystic Purity Sect has been able to endure for generations, so naturally, it has no shortage of alchemy masters within its ranks. Otherwise, how could the elite geniuses of the Mystic Purity Sect have improved their cultivation so quickly?
Elder Ji Xin is a very skilled alchemist!
At the summit of Elegant Bamboo Peak, there is a large courtyard where Elder Ji Xin usually resides.
When Duanmu Lan entered the courtyard, Elder Ji Xin was taking a nap in a rattan chair.
Duanmu Lan's granddaughter, Duanmu He, was sweeping the courtyard with a broom.
"Master, Grandfather has arrived!"
Duanmu He, who was in his early twenties, saw his grandfather first and quickly reminded Elder Ji Xin.
Elder Ji Xin immediately stood up and bowed to the sect's Supreme Elder.
"Disciple Ji Xin greets the Supreme Elder!"
"You're not young anymore, no need for such formalities!"
Duanmu Lan helped her up, then instructed her granddaughter, " He'er, go and bring Yunshang over. I haven't seen her in a while, and I miss her!"
"OK!"
Duanmu He accepted the order and left.
Duanmu Lan casually found a chair and sat down, saying, "Elder Ji Xin, what are your plans for this Alchemy Dao Conference?"
The sect leader of the Mystic Purity Sect never intervened in any of the previous Alchemy Dao Conference.
"This disciple understands the Supreme Elder's intentions. This disciple will bring He'er with me this time!"
Elder Ji Xin said with a smile, " He'er has an extremely high talent for alchemy, and now that she has reached the Martial Emperor Realm, it's time for her to show her skills!"
"Yes, that's what I think too!"
Duanmu Lan stroked his white beard and said, "I heard recently that He'er successfully refined a top-grade Xuan Dan, and I am very pleased!"
"Although she received some guidance from me during the refining process, with that experience, she will only become more and more adept at refining top-grade Xuan Dan in the future!"
Elder Ji Xin also praised her, saying, "She may not be able to compare to the older generation of alchemy masters now, but she should be top-notch among the younger generation!"
"Don't be too confident!"
Duanmu Lan said, "Other Lineage or sects would find it difficult to find young geniuses who can rival He'er in alchemy, but Wondrous Fragrance Valley definitely has young geniuses who can compare to He'er, and perhaps even more powerful He'er!"
