Chapter 244 Fellow Daoist's Fall
Chapter 244 Fellow Daoist's Fall
Next, Yun Chen and Qin Xi investigated and found out many things.
There was more than one monk like this.
Not only in Jiangnan, but also in various regions of China, numerous tragedies occurred. Many people were obediently confined to their homes, living a dull and mundane but relatively stable life, only to have their entire families inexplicably wiped out, leaving no survivors. In an instant, fear filled the land, and a dark cloud hung over the place. Law enforcement agencies all sprang into action.
Even the immortal cultivators were alarmed.
They quickly uncovered the truth.
It turns out that after the Dragon Group was destroyed, not all the alien cultivators were eliminated. A few escaped and managed to get away. Among them, a few Foundation Establishment cultivators defected to the West and found the Crimson Sparrow King who came from outer space.
The Crimson Sparrow King is causing division by spreading many unorthodox cultivation techniques into China, allowing these foreign cultivators to spread them and inciting internal strife among ordinary Chinese people, thus exacerbating existing conflicts.
After learning this, Yun Chen and Qin Xi exchanged a glance.
Six months ago, when they went to the Coal Kingdom to kill the Bald Eagle King, they also happened to encounter the Red Sparrow King. They originally intended to kill the other one as well, but something unexpected happened and the other one escaped. It has never appeared in the world since.
Even the six-headed demon from the West was slain.
The other party never revealed any trace of themselves.
Now, it has reappeared.
They've resorted to underhanded tactics to attack China.
The other party uses unorthodox and evil supernatural powers, which spread and easily influence the corrupted immortal race, causing them to be corrupted.
After all, during times of war, many ordinary people are filled with various grievances and want to vent them.
If someone were to unexpectedly gain power surpassing everyone else, some people would not hesitate to be corrupted, instantly becoming reactionaries just like that person, then overthrowing the entire Huaguo and oppressing all the immortal races.
They had no idea about the concepts of immortals and alien races, nor did they know what kind of heavy responsibility they carried as immortals, let alone the principle that with great power comes great responsibility.
How can such a celestial race be revived? Yun Chen and Qin Xi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with worry.
The two went to the Immortal Clan base to discuss the matter with Ye Mo and the others. External enemies are not difficult to deal with; what is more frightening is the enemy hidden among their own people, and even more frightening is the possibility that their own people have been transformed into enemies.
"First, find the Red Sparrow King and take it down!"
This was Ye Mo's suggestion, and it was filled with anger.
Chen Qinglan said, "We need to find out where they are first. After all, this guy is an alien who has returned from outer space. He's hidden himself too well and is even more intelligent than other great demons."
The turmoil in China is becoming increasingly serious.
The enemy realized that they couldn't target the cultivators of China or deal with the Chinese army, so they decided to start with the ordinary people, causing large numbers of them to fall into chaos on their own. In that case, the country would collapse without a fight, and other countries would unite to destroy China.
Chu Miaomiao said, "We have compiled the complete cultivation scriptures and reconstructed a new system. The new fellow cultivators who have just joined us are all cultivating diligently, and many have volunteered to handle these matters."
"Currently, we have a limited supply of Marrow Cleansing Pills, but Fellow Daoist Zhu Qian and the others have already tried planting various spiritual herbs to see if they can grow in large quantities. Fellow Daoist Shu Fan and the others are also deeply studying the scriptures on alchemy, so that in the future, they can use them to refine even more perfect Marrow Cleansing Pills."
Qin Xi said, "We must not leave a single demon or alien race alive. Anyone who acts as an accomplice to evil and harms our immortal brethren, no matter who they are or what their status is, we must resolutely not let any of them go."
While everyone was discussing the matter.
An urgent message reached them.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao Ming... has fallen."
Upon hearing this news, everyone paused the meeting, and several people showed visibly fluctuating emotions, angry yet calm.
Yun Chen asked, "What happened?"
"Back in Sucheng, when he was investigating the massacre of his entire family, he encountered a Foundation Establishment stage alien cultivator, but he couldn't defeat him."
Ye Mo and Chen Qinglan clenched their fists. Zhao Ming was someone they had personally brought and guided to become a cultivator. In the past year, he had already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and spent a lot of time traveling, making a great contribution to the revival of the Immortal Clan.
Chen Qinglan said, "I'll go myself!"
Yun Chen and the others said, "We'll go too."
Afterwards, they set off and rushed to Suzhou in Jiangnan, arriving at the scene of the incident. The matter was over; the streets were deserted, but a large number of people had died, and there were still large areas of collapsed building ruins.
Chen Qinglan rushed directly towards a large courtyard.
At this moment, officers in military uniforms lined up on both sides of the courtyard. In the middle of the crowd, a figure was covered by a red flag. A man with a buzz cut, dressed in a dignified and imposing robe, stood to one side. This man with a buzz cut had lost an arm, was disheveled, and covered in wounds, but exuded an aura of authority.
The person covered by the red flag was Zhao Ming.
Su Ping'an's eyes were red, and his heart was filled with endless hatred.
Chen Qinglan and the others descended from the sky.
All the officers in the compound were startled.
Yun Chen, Qin Xi, Ye Mo, and the others landed.
The officers were initially taken aback when they realized what had happened, but they quickly adapted and clearly already knew about it.
Chen Qinglan rushed forward to check on Zhao Ming's condition.
He couldn't help but close his eyes, take a deep breath, turn his head to look at Yun Chen and the others, and shake his head.
Yun Chen and the others also approached and inspected the area.
Their mood was somber, and the atmosphere was filled with sorrow.
Chen Qinglan looked at Su Pingan: "What happened?"
Su Ping'an waved to the officers, signaling them to leave, and then told Yun Chen and the others the whole story.
It turned out that Zhao Ming came to Suzhou to investigate the persecution of young children. He traced the matter to a cultivator from another race and found him. However, he did not expect that the cultivator had a Foundation Establishment Realm expert backing him up. Zhao Ming was no match for the cultivator and was killed on the spot!
After hearing this, anger flashed in Chen Qinglan's eyes.
"This is absolutely despicable!"
Looking at Zhao Ming's corpse, Ye Mo said in a deep voice, "Let's take Fellow Daoist Zhao Ming back and give him a proper burial."
Su Ping'an hung his head, his eyes blazing with anger, his fists clenched tightly. He only hated that he was too weak now, that he didn't have enough strength to help Zhao Ming.
Chen Qinglan said, "Take Zhao Ming back, and I'll find those alien races and wipe them out to avenge him!"
Yun Chen said, "I'll go with you."
Qin Xi said, "Me too."
Chu Miaomiao said, "Then we'll take Zhao Ming back!"
She activated the Immortal Bridge Technique, teleporting herself, Ye Mo, and Zhao Ming's remains back to the Immortal Clan base.
Yun Chen patted Su Ping'an on the shoulder.
They didn't say anything.
Qin Xi asked, "Do you have any information about the murderer?"
Su Pingan told everyone he knew, explaining that he had found out about everything immediately after Zhao Ming's accident.
"The other person was originally just an ordinary person..."
Yun Chen said, "Don't worry, leave the rest to us. We will definitely avenge Fellow Daoist Zhao Ming!"
Su Ping'an nodded, his face filled with grief and indignation.
Yun Chen and Chen Qinglan immediately began their investigation.
The three of them kept making hand seals and casting spells, using the unusual aura they had just captured from Zhao Ming's body to track it.
Subsequently, they targeted the outskirts of Suzhou.
