Chapter 671: The Terrifying Supervision Hall

Chimo was practically grinding his teeth.

He was almost certain it had to be Qin Feng.

His brother had previously told him about his intention to deal with Qin Feng, and now, not even half a day later, the man was gone.

Other than Qin Feng, Chimo couldn’t think of anyone else with that kind of power.

As for the idea that some powerful expert from the Demon Race was waiting for a chance to cause trouble, Chimo didn’t believe it for a second.

“Three True Monarchs, fellow Village Chiefs, this matter will become crystal clear once we capture Qin Feng!”

“Three True Monarchs, I agree with Village Chief Chimo. Before this new Master of Fubo Cave arrived, nothing like this had ever happened in our Shaoyang Stronghold. I’d say there’s a ninety percent chance he’s involved!”

“Yes! I agree as well!”

“Seconded!”

“Seconded!”

…

A few Village Chiefs’ eyes glinted as they chimed in with their agreement.

An Innate Dragon Pill!

This Innate Object contained extremely precious Innate Primordial Energy. It was a Treasure that even a Saint would covet.

True Monarch Hong Yang and True Monarch Qinghuang turned their gazes toward the Great Village Chief, Nine Elements True Monarch.

“This matter is already beyond our jurisdiction. A Village Chief was assassinated without a trace. We only have the authority to suspect and provide evidence to the Supervision Hall. What’s more, this Qin Feng is no ordinary disciple; he is a True Disciple. Even I do not have the power to privately arrest a True Monarch!”

Chimo was extremely displeased with Nine Elements True Monarch’s response.

Having been stationed here for several hundred years, how could he not understand this Great Village Chief? These were all just excuses.

‘Hmph, this old coot has always been a coward, only looking out for himself. Saying he has no authority is utter bullshit! Isn’t it just because he doesn’t want to offend a True Disciple? He should take a look at who he’s dealing with—just some upstart brat with no background. Ptui! The older that old fossil gets, the more useless he becomes!’

A firestorm of rage burned in Chimo’s heart. He and Lin Guangdong had supported each other all the way from the Outer Sect to the Inner Sect, achieving the status they held today.

A friendship of several hundred years!

He ground his teeth in secret. ‘Qin Feng, I will never let you go, you wet-behind-the-ears brat!’

…

On Little Cang Mountain, countless figures in black robes shrouded the entire Spirit Mountain.

In the sky above, several figures gazed down at the devastated Little Cang Mountain.

One of them was Nine Elements True Monarch.

The one in Shaoyang Stronghold was merely a Divine Split of Nine Elements True Monarch.

Of the other three, one was the Supervision Hall’s Fourth-class Inspection Envoy, Su Qin. He wore a Tai Chi Yin Yang Robe, its wide sleeves fluttering as if to envelop the entire sky.

Another was the Fifth-Rank Curtain General from the Eastern Changle Wujie Fumo Heavenly King Palace, Cang Yu. He was clad in cyan Armor, his gaze cold, and the killing intent he exuded formed a dense, chilling wind that pierced the skin.

The last one was the Supervision Hall’s Divine Supervisor, Wei Changming.

Countless ordinary investigators in black robes surrounded Little Cang Mountain, deploying numerous Secret Techniques to probe the mountain inch by inch, even investigating the surrounding Void and time itself.

Beyond these four, a group of Inference Divine Officials skilled in divination were deducing everything about the surrounding area.

Behind the four, Fang Zhongyuan, whom Qin Feng had met before, was also present. However, his status was clearly not on par with the others, and he stood to the side with his hands respectfully lowered.

After a moment, a figure in a black robe stepped forward to report.

“Reporting to the esteemed seniors, we can confirm that five Demon King Level experts were active on Little Cang Mountain. Most of the Star Soldiers, Star Generals, as well as the Maids and Medicine Boys on this mountain, died at the hands of these five Demon Kings!”

The group exchanged glances. Wei Changming, who held the highest status among them, said in a deep voice, “Tell us everything you’ve discovered!”

“Yes, Elder. Additionally, using the Formless Water Mirror Great Divine Ability to reverse the flow of time, we’ve learned that the Peach Blossom Village Chief, Lin Guangdong, did indeed appear on Little Cang Mountain. They…”

The man in the black robe paused slightly.

Wei Changming’s brow furrowed, and he barked, “Speak!”

“They had been plotting against the Master of Fubo Cave, Qin Feng. After they finished their discussion, Lin Guangdong left. However, for some unknown reason, Lin Guangdong later returned to Little Cang Mountain!”

Wei Changming’s eyes narrowed, his gaze like the edge of a blade. “Utterly absurd. Instead of thinking about contributing to the sect, they form cliques to harm fellow disciples. Such lawless individuals, occupying positions without doing any work! I wonder how many of these degenerates and parasites are in our sect! All of them will have to take a trip to the Celestial Punishment Hall sooner or later!”

The Fourth-class Inspection Envoy, Su Qin, glanced at Cang Yu and Nine Elements True Monarch, then cleared his throat and interrupted. “Continue. What else did you find?”

The black-robed disciple said respectfully, “After that, there’s nothing!”

Su Qin, Wei Changming, and the others frowned. “Nothing?”

“Yes. We can’t see anything that happened after that. It’s as if that entire segment of time was erased out of thin air by a Supreme Great Divine Ability!”

“How could this be?” Su Qin’s expression changed. After a moment, he asked in a low voice, “Did you use the power of the Vast Celestial Realm?”

The Vast Celestial Realm was one of the Supervision Hall’s Palace Guardian True Artifacts.

As long as someone left an image in Space-Time, they could not escape the detection of this True Artifact.

The black-robed disciple said, “We tried, but we still couldn’t find anything.”

Su Qin murmured, “No image in the ten directions, no trace in the six paths. Leaping beyond the Three Realms, not bound within the Five Elements.”

Hearing this, everyone’s expression changed.

Fang Zhongyuan said in a daze, “Could it be the work of a Venerable? Only a Venerable who can sever the river of time could forcibly erase all traces of the past, achieving ‘no image in the ten directions, no trace in the six paths’!”

Wei Changming’s eyes flashed, and he shook his head. “No, there’s another possibility!”

“Someone with a True Artifact. Possessing an extremely high-grade True Artifact could also achieve this, concealing oneself and blocking the scrying of any divination expert!”

Su Qin sighed inwardly.

No matter which it was, it spelled big trouble!

The experts from the Supervision Hall furrowed their brows. The matter had become complicated and seemed to have hit a dead end.

Wei Changming suddenly looked up. “Go investigate all recent traces of these two. I believe there is no love without reason, nor hate without cause in this world. Even if the killer erased everything, a goose leaves a cry in its wake. There must be some clues. Since there are no leads here, we’ll investigate from other directions!”

“Anyone who dares to kill someone from our Star Sect can’t hope to hide, even if they flee to the farthest corners of the boundless Spirit Sea Continent!”

“Right, didn’t you identify five Demon Kings who committed the massacre? Compare them against the sect’s records, find the culprits, and we’ll follow that lead. I imagine those five Demon Kings must have left some clues on them!”

「Inside Fubo Cave.」

Qin Feng’s face was grim. Within his Grotto Heaven, a massive Black Lotus was suspended in the Void above his head. Countless mysterious powers could be faintly seen seeping in from the deep Endless Void, circling around him.

Qin Feng gritted his teeth. ‘A divination!’

This wasn’t just one person performing a divination; dozens were doing it in unison, and they were even using an extremely powerful True Artifact.

Below Chaos Mountain, the Sea Demon Queen saw Qin Feng’s expression and sneered coldly. “Qin Feng, getting what you deserve, are you? This will teach you for being so reckless. Did you think those people from the Star Sect were useless? Even if a Venerable killed someone from the Star Sect, they couldn’t escape if the sect was determined to find them. Just you wait to be hunted to the ends of the earth by the Star Sect!”

The Sea Demon Queen let out a charming laugh, a laugh filled with utter delight!
