A moment after Yang Qi left, a space crack appeared out of nowhere in the void not far away, and then more than a dozen figures rushed out from the space channel at a high speed.
A cultivator in a gray-white robe looked at the empty space in front of him, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "We are late."
Not long ago, they suddenly noticed that their companion's soul tablet was broken, and they immediately knew that their companion had fallen. Fortunately, some of the fallen practitioners were insect beasts, so they quickly located the place where their companion had the accident and rushed over immediately. Unfortunately, when they arrived, the enemy had already left.
"How dare you kill our people from the Snow Jade Palace." A cultivator said angrily.
The Snow Jade Palace is the overlord of the nearby star field. Even the cultivation forces with high-level Martial Emperor-level warriors in several nearby star fields are unwilling to provoke them. But now, their companions have been killed, which is clearly a provocation to their Snow Jade Palace.
The middle-aged man in the lead focused his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Although the traces of battle nearby have been obfuscated, judging from the remaining traces, no fierce battle broke out. In other words, the cultivator who killed Cheng Dong is likely to be much stronger than them."
"Could it be the Martial Emperor Realm?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed slightly. After all, among Cheng Dong and his companions, there were three practitioners at the peak of Martial Emperor level. They could fight even against a Half-Step Martial Emperor. Unless they were true Martial Emperors, it would be impossible for them to kill Cheng Dong and his companions easily.
"It is possible, but Cheng Dong and others are not ignorant of the importance of things. If they encounter a Martial Emperor, they will not take the initiative to provoke him." The middle-aged man frowned.
The Snow Jade Palace was indeed very overbearing, but they would also consider the target and would not easily provoke a Martial Emperor. A cultivator at the Martial Emperor level was not only powerful, but also had a long lifespan. It was not a wise thing to provoke such a cultivator.
"Could it be that a Martial Emperor used some special means to kill Cheng Dong and the others?" a cultivator frowned.
It is naturally impossible for an ordinary Martial Emperor to kill Cheng Dong and others easily, but with the help of external objects, killing Cheng Dong and his party is not a difficult task.
At this moment, the cultivator in the gray-white robe fixed his eyes on the middle-aged man and said, "Third Senior Brother!"
"What did you find?" the middle-aged man asked.
Upon hearing this, the practitioner in the gray-white robe immediately said, "I sense a familiar aura among the remaining auras."
"Can you tell who it is?" the middle-aged man asked hurriedly.
The familiar aura was obviously from a cultivator they had come into contact with before, and it was not just an ordinary contact. If the cultivator in the gray-white robe could remember who the aura belonged to, it would be much easier for them to find the cultivator who killed Cheng Dong and others.
"The breath is a little vague. I can only feel that it is somewhat familiar, but I can't tell who it is." The practitioner said with a wry smile.
He was only a mid-level Martial Emperor with limited strength. The remaining aura had already been confused. It was already extremely difficult for him to sense some familiar auras, and it was even more difficult to determine who it was.
"The person who attacked Cheng Dong and the others didn't even have time to send out a message for help. He obviously used soul means. The remaining breath has the breath of swordsmanship. The other party should be a swordsman who is good at the soul." The middle-aged man said this, looked at the practitioner in the gray-white robe, and said, "Brother Li, have you ever seen a similar practitioner?"
A practitioner who follows the path of swordsmanship and is also good at the path of the soul
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the cultivator's face changed slightly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a figure flashed through his mind, but the next moment, he shook his head in his heart.
He did know a cultivator like this, and he had a deep impression of him. However, the other party was a cultivator of the same generation as him. Even if he used external objects, it would be almost impossible for him to prevent Cheng Dong and others from even having the chance to ask for help. Naturally, he rejected the idea.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, have you thought of something?"
"I did think of someone, but it's probably not him." The cultivator nodded slightly, and continued, "Thousands of years ago, he was only a cultivator at the peak of the Martial King level. Now he is at most a mid-level Martial Emperor. Even if he uses external objects, it is unlikely that Cheng Dong and the others will not even have a chance to ask for help."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly. Cheng Dong and others were not weak. Without a certain strength, even if they wanted to use external objects, it would be impossible for Cheng Dong and others to not even have a chance to ask for help. After all, there were traces of fighting at the scene, which meant that the other party did not directly kill Cheng Dong and others with soul means, but used Yuanli means to kill their vitality.
"Everyone, check the area to see if there are any clues." said the middle-aged man.
"yes!"
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, everyone dispersed to investigate, hoping to find some useful clues nearby. After all, as time passed, the chance of finding useful clues would become smaller and smaller, so they had to hurry.
The man in the gray-white robe fixed his eyes and muttered to himself, "Yang Qi!"
“Thousands of years have passed. I don’t know how you are doing now. I am already a five-star Martial Emperor. I will personally avenge you for the humiliation I suffered in the Tianhuang Holy Land.” A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the man in the gray-white robe. If Yang Qi was here, he would be able to recognize that the cultivator in front of him was none other than Li Si, with whom he had fought in the Tianhuang Holy Land!
That year, Li Si completed the task assigned to him by Emperor Feixue and received a lot of resources from Emperor Feixue. With the training of Emperor Feixue, in just a few thousand years, he broke through from the peak of Martial King to the peak of five-star Martial Emperor, and was only one step away from six-star Martial Emperor.
You have to know that Yuan Jiu, who is a member of the Origin Clan and has awakened his bloodline, has only entered the Seven-Star Martial Emperor level in the past few thousand years. This is because of the teachings of the Yuanchu Saint Lord and the great opportunity Yuan Jiu himself got in the clan. Li Si's starting point is not as good as Yuan Jiu's, and the foundation of the Snow Jade Palace is far from being comparable to that of the Origin Clan. The Emperor Feixue is even more inferior to the Yuanchu Saint Lord. However, Li Si was able to reach the peak level of the Five-Star Martial Emperor in such a short time, and he is indeed qualified to be proud of himself.
Yang Qi didn't know that Li Si arrived as soon as he left. Unfortunately, Li Si had no idea of Yang Qi's current strength. Therefore, even though he found a Yang Qi who met the requirements in his memory through the situation perceived by his senior brother, he did not doubt Yang Qi at all.
Knowing that the star field in front of him had become the back garden of the Snow Jade Palace, Yang Qi became much more cautious, so as to avoid conflicts with the practitioners of the Snow Jade Palace again. Otherwise, if he provoked the strong men of the Snow Jade Palace, he would be in danger. (To be continued)
