Under the nourishment of the Purple Phoenix Spirit Flower's spiritual energy, Jiang Li's Phoenix Nirvana Scripture within him operated to its utmost.
The spiritual energy of the Purple Phoenix Spirit Flower continuously transformed into vital essence, absorbed by Jiang Li's body, as the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture ceaselessly advanced towards the fourth level.
It was as if a phoenix was coursing back and forth within Jiang Li's body.
The spiritual energy of other spirit herbs around was absorbed by Jiang Li's Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, and the low roars of divine elephants echoed incessantly within Jiang Li's body.
The void within the cave began to ripple.
The entire cave was enveloped in a vortex of spiritual energy.
Within the cave, not far from Jiang Li, Su Mengli lay within a spiritual energy shield.
At this moment, although Su Mengli's complexion was pale, her steady breathing and the gentle spiritual energy circulating within her body all indicated that her body was slowly recovering.
Time flowed by so slowly.
...
At the same time.
The slaughter in Qingqiu continued unabated.
Countless members of the Sky Fox tribe were annihilated, and bloody and tragic battles permeated the entire Qingqiu.
The major tribes of the Heavenly Demon Realm had come to Qingqiu, intending to claim a share of the spoils.
The territory originally belonging to the Sky Fox tribe was completely carved up by several other top tribes of the Heavenly Demon Realm.
This was boundless suffering for the Sky Fox tribe of Qingqiu, but it was also a carnival feast for the other demon tribes of the Heavenly Demon Realm.
Above Qingqiu, immense power of blood and malevolent energy surged forth.
The towering blood energy had dyed the entire sky red, adding a touch of bloodthirst to the already blood-soaked Qingqiu.
...
Qingqiu.
The Sky Fox Royal Palace.
The Sky Fox Royal Palace was the palace where the royal family of the Sky Fox tribe resided.
It was once magnificent and grand, filled with beautiful scenery and exuding heart-pleasing spirit plants, a place of natural beauty and spiritual essence.
However, it had now become a scene of devastation, with countless bloodstains and corpses scattered everywhere.
Precious spirit plants and rare treasures had all been looted, leaving behind only ruins and chaos.
Beside the ruins, several demon tribesmen with powerful auras stood.
They wore smiles on their faces, chatting and laughing amidst the ruins.
"Feiyun, could that old fellow Fuhai who fell into the Forbidden Spirit Land still be alive?" a middle-aged man in a blood-red robe asked with a slight frown.
The man in the blood-red robe was the patriarch of the Bloodthirsty Wolf tribe, Great Sage Hongxuan, who was one of the participants in the annihilation of Qingqiu.
"Hongxuan, you worry too much. There are forbidden beings within the Forbidden Spirit Land. Fuhai is just a Great Sage of the Eighth Heaven, and he was already at the end of his rope when he entered the Forbidden Spirit Land. He's probably already become a meal for that forbidden being!" said a burly man beside the man in the yellow robe.
This burly man was the patriarch of the Violent Bear tribe, Great Sage Baolin.
The Forbidden Spirit Land was a terrifying forbidden zone in the Eastern Desolation, said to harbor forbidden beings. Even supreme experts had perished within it.
"Yes, although Fuhai is incredibly powerful, entering that place in such a desperate situation, there should be no chance of survival." Great Sage Feiyun, the patriarch of the Earth Cloud Tiger tribe, added.
As they chatted, the few of them slowly walked into the ruined palace.
Many other demon tribesmen were searching around, seemingly looking for something in the ruins.
"I hope so!" Great Sage Hongxuan continued.
He was naturally aware of the Forbidden Spirit Land; it was a place of terror. However, until he saw Fuhai's corpse, he could not rest easy.
Over the years, Great Sage Fuhai had been like a mountain, pressing down on the other Great Sages of the Heavenly Demon Realm, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Every time he thought of that terrifying man, Great Sage Hongxuan felt a deep sense of fear.
After this encirclement and suppression, that fear had only intensified.
They had meticulously planned and mobilized so many top experts, yet they still hadn't completely eliminated him.
Instead, they had allowed him to enter the Forbidden Spirit Land.
"This old man, brilliant for a lifetime, foolish for a moment, to dare refuse that adult, he deserves such a fate!" Great Sage Feiyun beside him said with a look of schadenfreude.
Great Sage Baolin nodded and added, "Fortunately, he refused, otherwise, such a good opportunity wouldn't have come to us!"
Great Sage Hongxuan fell silent, his lips slightly pursed. He just felt a heavy weight in his heart. Was it truly a good thing...
However, even if there were problems, did they have the capital to refuse...
"Swish swish swish!!!"
As they slowly walked through the ruins of the palace, a demon tribesman from the Bloodthirsty Wolf tribe flew down from the sky.
"Patriarch... something has happened..." the rushing demon tribesman said in a panic.
Great Sage Hongxuan's brows furrowed, and he said displeasedly, "What's the rush? With us here, what is there to panic about!"
"Young Patriarch... Young Patriarch... Young Patriarch is dead!" the demon tribesman continued in a hurry.
Great Sage Hongxuan's pupils contracted. Yu'er was dead...
"How is that possible? With the remaining trash of the Sky Fox tribe, how could they kill Yu'er!" Great Sage Hongxuan roared angrily.
Although Pan Yu was not his son, he had spent a vast amount of resources and time cultivating him, treating him as a true heir.
Now, he was dead... How could he accept this...
Great Sage Feiyun and Great Sage Baolin, standing nearby, also frowned. They knew the strength of the Sky Fox tribe all too well.
Although Pan Yu was only a Saint of the Fourth Heaven, his talent and strength were top-notch. He could even hold his own against some Saints of the Sixth Heaven.
Could it be that the Sky Fox tribe had some hidden power?
"Explain clearly, what happened!" Great Sage Hongxuan said coldly, his gaze chilling.
Following that, the demon tribesman explained the entire sequence of events to Great Sage Hongxuan.
Su Mengli... Isn't she the precious daughter of that old fellow Fuhai...
With her? A mere lass in the Life and Death realm...
Great Sage Hongxuan felt an overwhelming sense of absurdity. A person who could die from a single breath, and Yu'er died because of such a character?
"Reporting to the Patriarch, the Young Patriarch died after chasing Su Mengli... We also discovered the Young Patriarch's flesh and blood at the place of death..." the demon tribesman continued.
Great Sage Hongxuan narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Since things had already happened, there was nothing to be done.
However, Yu'er, rest assured, no matter who the murderer is, I will make them pay the price.
A cold glint flashed in Great Sage Hongxuan's eyes...
