Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 583: Holy Order
"Damn it, who is this? So vicious, there must be hundreds of thousands of people here,"
a white-robed young man carrying a longsword on his back said, frowning.
Many cultivators had seen much of the world, but even they turned pale at such a scene, deeply shocked in their hearts.
"This must be the doing of some evil cultivator, cultivating an evil technique by absorbing the essence blood of people," another young girl said, trembling.
"We must report this to the Flame Phoenix Holy Sect immediately, and ask them to send an elder to hunt down this evil cultivator. Otherwise, this person will surely continue to harm the mortal world."
Another cultivator said, biting her lip.
As she spoke, a cultivator summoned a spiritual sparrow, whispered a few words to it, and the sparrow spread its wings and flew towards the distance.
This region was under the jurisdiction of the Flame Phoenix Holy Sect, so it was imperative to report such major events to them.
Spiritual sparrows were commonly used messaging creatures on the Divine Wilderness Continent; their speeds varied depending on their grade. This particular sparrow was not very fast, about the same as an ordinary saint.
Fortunately, the Flame Phoenix Holy Sect wasn't far from there.
A day later, three cultivators shrouded in red flames shot from the distance, their powerful presence like a rainbow, arriving at the edge of the blood pool and flesh forest in an instant.
The three were one elder and two youths, the elder with an Immortal's demeanor, and the youths handsome and robust, clearly members of the Flame Phoenix Holy Sect.
Upon their arrival, they too had grim expressions on their faces.
Such a nefarious deed on their territory was undoubtedly a slap in their face.
After venturing into the flesh forest for investigation, their anger intensified.
Among these flesh trees, he first discovered bones from three years ago.
This indicated that the horrifying formation had existed within the Flame Phoenix Holy Sect's domain for three years, and they had not noticed it at all during that time.
"Second Elder, are the disappearances of those children related to this place?"
The older of the two younger cultivators, named Chen Wen, asked with a tight frown.
"Most likely related. There are many children's bones within this flesh forest," the Immortal-like Second Elder replied.
"However, we still need further confirmation."
Just as the Second Elder was about to investigate the flesh forest more thoroughly, two dazzling divine lights flickered in the distance. Two cultivators, shrouded in flames, sped towards this direction very quickly.
"That's Ling Feng and Ling Yun; what are they doing here instead of accompanying the Young Master?"
The Second Elder narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of unease flashing through his mind.
"Second Elder, Second Elder!"
"It's terrible, the Young Master has gone missing!"
Before Ling Feng and Ling Yun could arrive, their distraught voices reached from afar.
"What?!"
"What happened to my grandson?"
Tang Ming's face twisted dramatically, he grasped the panting Ling Feng and Ling Yun, his face contorted as if ready to devour them whole.
"What's going on?"
The day before, the Young Master of the Flame Phoenix Holy Sect went missing, and the Third Elder was killed. Ling Feng and Ling Yun rushed back to the sect immediately to report.
However, Lindong City was much farther from the sect than this place. By the time the two returned, the Second Elder had already departed for this location.
Thus, Ling Feng and the other hurriedly followed here without stopping.
So it was only today that the Second Elder heard about the disappearance of his grandson for the first time.
Ling Feng panted heavily as he spoke, "Report, reporting to the elder, on the night before last, the Young Master insisted on sleeping alone. We had no choice but to comply, but we guarded outside his room all night and never left, yet the Young Master still disappeared."
"What about Old Three? With him guarding Lindong City, how could such a thing happen?"
"The Third Elder... The Third Elder is dead." Ling Yun stammered in response.
"What! Old Three was a Supreme Saint Early Stage powerhouse, how could he have fallen?"
"After the Young Master went missing, the Third Elder ordered the sealing of the entire city. Some people tried to forcefully leave the city, injuring the Tenth Elder who was on guard. The Third Elder rushed over to argue with them, but in the end, they attacked and killed him."
"What are those few people called? What realm are they?" the Second Elder asked, his face as cold as ice and snow, his voice chilling.
"Among them, the leader is a Cultivator at the Intermediate Stage of Dragon Transformation. There are also two women at the Immortal Platform Realm, a child at the Tempering Body Realm, and a Protector at the Great Saint Late Stage."
"According to the innkeeper where they stayed that day, the name of the Cultivator at the Dragon Transformation Realm is Qin Li, but the names of the others are not yet known."
All the while, because Qinchuan had two Spiritual Pearls in hand to avoid Divine Envoys from the Divine Realm from coming after him, he had been calling himself Qin Li to outsiders.
It was not that Qinchuan feared these people, but once his location was exposed, these Divine Envoys would come to harass him again and again, becoming a constant nuisance.
"A Great Saint Late Stage slew Old Three, who was at the Supreme Saint Early Stage?"
"Yes, indeed a Great Saint Late Stage," confirmed Ling Yun.
Regaining his composure, Ling Feng now sensed a familiar qi in the void.
Immediately, Ling Feng cried out, "Second Elder, this... around us, there's the qi of those people!"
Ye Xuanji's Qi of Life and Death was extremely rare. Now, there were faint remnants in the void, sensed by the sharp Ling Feng.
"Those few people have been here!"

Then, the Second Elder summoned the few Cultivators who had arrived at this place first and inquired if anyone else had arrived.
The several Cultivators uniformly stated that, aside from them, no one else had been discovered.
"This Blood Pool and Flesh Forest are related to them! It must have been their doing!" Ling Yun said through gritted teeth, filled with hatred.
The next moment, the Second Elder shot into the sky, flames burning intensely around him, Great Dao Rune Patterns moving with him, countless Runes emerging.
He stood in the void, his presence chilling and frightful as he looked down over the entire Blood Pool, his Divine Sense pouring out.
His Divine Sense covered the entire Flesh Forest.
The next instant.
The Second Elder's expression continuously changed, ultimately turning ashen.
He cast a Spell, and then, a child's corpse flew out from the pile in the Flesh Forest.
The child's body was already a mangled mess, beyond recognition, but around the child's waist was a strand of Spiritual Pearls. The Second Elder unmistakably recognized them as belonging to his grandson.
"Ah—"
The Second Elder let out a heaven-shaking roar, his eyes blood-red like three thousand demons, erupting with a terrifying aura of murder that swept across the land, staining the entire world with blood.
His most beloved grandson, now, had actually been captured and drained of his Essence Blood. How could he not be enraged?
"Qin Li—"
"I will surely flay you, rip your sinews, crush your bones into dust!"
The Second Elder had already determined that Qinchuan and his group were the murderers of his grandson.
"Dispatch the Holy Sect Order, offer a bounty throughout the territory for Qin Li and his group! Dead or alive!"
Within the territory of the Flame Phoenix Holy Sect, whether it was small villages or within cities, at the same time, a fierce flame rose. Within the flame, a palm-sized phoenix bird flew out.
"Hunt down Qin Li!"
In just a single day, this news spread far and wide.
