"It … died just like that?"
The first to find this unbelievable wasn't Pei Liansheng and the others, but Fan Jin, who was by Qin Fang's side, whose expression had completely changed.
"Young Master Qin, did you do this?"
However, he quickly came to his senses. When he connected the dots between how Qin Fang had manipulated the Crow Divinity Pill, he vaguely understood that Asura's death had a great deal to do with Qin Fang.
"Didn't you see it just now?"
Qin Fang waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
When he saw the gaping hole in Asura's chest and how its aura had instantly dissipated, he knew that Asura had truly perished.
As for the fact that the Divine Burial Asura was only left with a Nascent Divinity and a body that wasn't even its own, it didn't seem like it should die so easily. In fact, this was the real reason why Qin Fang used the Crow Divinity Pill.
He'd used the pill to forcefully bind Asura's nascent spirit to Situ Qingyun's body, forming an organic whole. Although it wasn't a complete fusion, it was still a conjoined body.
If one of them was severely damaged or destroyed, the other would suffer as well. That was how Asura's weak and chaotic nascent spirit had been killed by Qin Fang using the Crow Divinity Pill.
If its nascent spirit had still been awake, it would have been very difficult for Qin Fang to kill it no matter how much strength Pei Liansheng and the others exerted. There would only be one chance, and if they missed it, there wouldn't be a second chance.
It was precisely because of Qin Fang's actions that Asura's nascent spirit had struggled and counterattacked, almost causing Qin Fang to lose his life.
Fortunately, such a tragedy hadn't occurred. Qin Fang's actions had been timely, and his recovery had been even more timely. Only then had he been able to ensure his own safety and push Asura into the endless abyss.
"Alright, we can't stay here any longer … Let's leave!"
However, Qin Fang did not feel at ease at all when he saw that the Asura of the Divine Tomb had fallen. Instead, he glanced at the three Martial Emperors of the Pei Clan who were gradually regaining their senses and immediately left with Fan Jin.
What would happen in the future was no longer something they needed to consider. Qin Fang had already done what he needed to do. Moreover, his goal of framing the Situ Clan had been accomplished perfectly. The Situ Clan was like yellow mud that had fallen into their pants. Even if it wasn't sh * t, it was sh * t. It was impossible for them to wash away their sins.
Qin Fang and the others had left, but the Pei Clan would not leave. This was their home, their ancestral home … Even though more than half of their ancestral home had been destroyed by the battle just now, leaving behind large pieces of ruins.
However, Pei Liansheng and the others were not dispirited. Instead, they felt a sense of relief and excitement.
The three Martial Emperors had practically exhausted the majority of their Stellar Qis. They even needed to support each other to walk. Only then could they barely walk.
Fortunately, the people from the Situ Clan were all dead. Otherwise, just a single half-step Martial Emperor would be able to easily kill the three Martial Emperors of the Pei Clan.
There was no other reason. The battle earlier had directly depleted 80 to 90 percent of their strength. What was left was merely an extremely weak shell.
Naturally, there was still a neutral Martial Emperor elder from the Elders Guild.
His identity was neutral, and he wouldn't side with the Situ Clan or the Pei Clan. He was truly neutral and unbiased … At this moment, the battle had ended, and he jumped out and directly went to Situ Qingyun's side.
"That's right. He's indeed Situ Qingyun!"
There was no other indication other than to confirm Situ Qingyun's identity.
This was equivalent to confirming that the Situ Clan had massacred the Pei Clan. This was a blood feud that could not be reconciled. It was also the Elders Guild's conclusion on this matter.
"Situ Jing, my Pei Clan and your Situ Clan are irreconcilable!"
Pei Liansheng's face was extremely pale. However, he was extremely furious at this moment. His expression was ferocious, and his face was gradually turning greenish-black as he shouted furiously.
Spurt!
Moreover, as soon as he finished speaking, a mouthful of black blood sprayed out of his mouth.
"Clan Leader!"
The other two Martial Emperors' injuries were slightly lighter. They were only slightly weaker. When they saw Pei Liansheng's sudden change, they immediately cried out in shock.
This was because the price Pei Liansheng had paid earlier was too high. Moreover, he had even swallowed a self-harming medicinal pill like the Soul Crippling Blood Pill. It was one disaster after another.
They were worried Pei Liansheng would lose his life in his anger. The Pei Clan's losses were too heavy. The only true foundation left was the three of them.
At this moment, the Pei Clan could not accept the loss of any Martial Emperors!
Moreover, Pei Liansheng, the Clan Leader, was the true hope of the Pei Clan. He was also the person in charge of the Pei Clan's foundation. It did not matter even if the two of them died. Only Pei Liansheng, the Clan Leader, could not be harmed.
"I'm fine!"
Pei Liansheng's injuries were very serious. However, it was obvious he was unwilling to die or be crippled just like this. After spitting out a mouthful of black blood, his spirit seemed to have improved a lot.
At the very least, he still had the strength to wave his hand at the two Martial Emperors of the Pei Clan beside him.
"Inform all the experts on the Golden Immortal Island who are half-step Martial Emperors and above to return to the Pei Clan and get ready. I want to settle the score with that old bastard, Situ Jing!"
Pei Liansheng panted heavily. His face was slightly flushed. He immediately gave the order to the two Martial Emperors beside him.
The Pei Clan's foundation was almost completely destroyed. The experts in the ancestral mansion were also either dead or injured. However, Pei Liansheng was still the Island Master of the Golden Immortal Island. He was also the person in charge of the Golden Immortal Island.
He also had the right to mobilize the strength of the cultivators on the Golden Immortal Island.
The Golden Immortal Island was one of the Five Elements Immortal Islands. It was currently one of the five islands with the best cultivation environment in the Penglai Secret Realm. It was the most beloved cultivation secret place for all metal-type cultivators.
It had always been in the hands of the Pei Clan.
However, the Pei Clan was not the only cultivator on the Golden Immortal Island. There were also other metal-type cultivators from all over the Penglai Secret Realm. All of them were extremely talented cultivators.
As the Island Master of the Golden Immortal Island, Pei Liansheng had the right to order them to carry out his orders.
As for what Pei Liansheng wanted to do, it was actually obvious at a glance.
"But, Clan Master … Your body …"
There was nothing wrong with this order. Even if Pei Liansheng did not say it, the Pei Clan would have done it. This was part of the Pei Clan's foundation. However, the two Martial Emperors were most worried about Pei Liansheng's body. His injuries were too serious. He was almost like an arrow at the end of its flight.
"I'm fine!"
Pei Liansheng shouted resolutely and decisively, directly interrupting the other party's words in an incomparably tough manner.
He even turned to look at the neutral Elder from the Council of Elders and said, "Elder Su, please bring the truth of the Pei Family's murder back to the Council of Elders … I hope that the Council of Elders will be able to give us a fair verdict …"
"This …"
Elder Su, who had remained neutral, looked extremely troubled. However, he still said, "I'll definitely report this news to the Elders Guild truthfully. As for whether the Elders Guild's arbitration will be fair and just, I can't guarantee that!"
The Pei Clan and the Situ Clan were both large clans in the Penglai Secret Realm. Both of them were very strong and had a very deep foundation. However, after Situ Qingyun's torment, the Pei Clan's strength and foundation had been greatly weakened. In that case, the arbitration might not be so fair and just.
Strength was the most advantageous support for one's words.
The Pei Clan's strength had been greatly weakened. They were not on the same level as the Pei Clan. The weight and power of their words would definitely not be the same as the Situ Clan's.
In that case, it was obviously unrealistic for the Pei Clan to ask for a fair outcome.
Moreover, the old man Pei Liansheng mentioned, Situ Jing, was the Clan Master of the Situ Clan and the Great Elder of the Elders Guild. The power in his hands was quite tyrannical.
"I understand. Elder Su, you just need to report it truthfully. Although Situ Jing has great power, he can't do whatever he wants in the Elders Guild!"
Where there were people, there would be the underworld. Where there were organizations, there would definitely be battles. The battles in the Penglai Secret Realm were very tragic. This was especially true for the battles and killings between clans.
Situ Jing's strength was much stronger than the Pei Clan. He even had the chance to destroy the Pei Clan. However, this would definitely cause some clans to feel uneasy and resist him. Nobody would want to become the next target of the Situ Clan.
Pei Liansheng planned to join forces with such people and clans to fight against the Situ Clan. Coupled with the strength in his hands, he might be able to cause the Situ Clan to suffer a huge loss.
If a peak Martial Emperor were to let go of everything, have no bottom line, and have no scruples, his lethality would increase by several times. He would definitely become an incomparably terrifying top assassin!
The Elders Guild would definitely not be willing to force the Pei Clan to such a state. In that case, they would have to express their stance to the Pei Clan and the Situ Clan. However, the battle between the two clans was unavoidable. It might even continue until one of the clans completely disappeared.
Elder Su agreed and returned to the Elders Guild with this news. He wanted to take Situ Qingyun's corpse away. However, Pei Liansheng clearly did not agree. In that case, he did not mention it.
This was an important piece of evidence. At the same time, it was also a great enemy of the Pei Clan. The Pei Clan had no reason to let it go. Pei Liansheng had even decided that even if Situ Jing came, he would not be able to take Situ Qingyun's corpse away.
…
While the Pei Clan was cleaning up the mess, Qin Fang and Fan Jin had already gone far away. It was as if they were outsiders. There was no obstruction at all.
"Young Master Qin, where are we going next?"
At this time, the Pei Clan's matter could be considered to have come to an end. Fan Jin could not help but ask about the next step of the plan. He had followed Qin Fang into the Penglai Secret Realm but he had not done anything yet.
"To kill …"
Qin Fang replied calmly.
"Kill?"
Fan Jin was taken aback. Obviously, he could not figure out Qin Fang's plan. He also asked curiously.
"This time … who are we going to kill?"
The previous time to kill Pei Shaozhi, Qin Fang only confirmed it after asking Fan Jin. However, this time, Qin Fang did not ask. It was no wonder he had such a reaction.
"Do you want to know who we are going to kill?
Follow me to the place and you will naturally know … "
Obviously, he already had a more detailed plan of action. At this moment, he was very calm.
Qin Fang did not say it directly. He just left Fangzhang Island with Fan Jin and went straight to Yingzhou. There were almost no stops in the middle. After half an hour, they arrived at their destination.
"Heavenly Dragon Cloud Sea …"
As a native of the Penglai Secret Realm, how could he not know this place when he looked at it?
At this moment, he also said with a strange expression.
"Young Master Qin, don't tell me we are going to the Heavenly Dragon Cloud Sea to kill people … Or do you not know whose territory the Heavenly Dragon Cloud Sea is?"
However, it was precisely because he knew that Fan Jin's expression was strange. He asked with uncertainty. He felt that Qin Fang had made a mistake.
"Of course I know …"
Qin Fang shook his head indifferently. "The Heavenly Dragon Cloud Sea is known as the holy land of the Penglai Secret Realm … Well, at least before the rise of the Five Elements Celestial Island, this was the holy land!"
Of course, Qin Fang knew about the Heavenly Dragon Cloud Sea.
In the history of the Penglai Secret Realm, it had an incomparably important position. It was the true core of the Penglai Secret Realm for thousands of years.
However, after an accident and a flaw appeared in the island's protective formation, the outstanding Formation Master who looked down on all heroes used the power of the Five Elements Celestial Island to repair the damage.
In this way, the Penglai Secret Realm was sealed, but at the same time, the core of the Penglai Secret Realm was transferred from the Heavenly Dragon Cloud Sea to the Five Elements Celestial Island. This holy land was no longer as glorious as it used to be.
Perhaps it was also because of this that the clan and clan in the Heavenly Dragon Cloud Sea gradually became much more low-key …
"Tianyun Clan!"
This was an ancient clan with a history of thousands of years. Its existence was almost at the beginning of human life in the Penglai Secret Realm. It had the longest history and was also the only ancient clan that had always been passed down. It was even comparable to the Kunlun Clan.
Hundreds of years ago, before the Penglai Secret Realm mutated, the Tianyun Clan was the real giant in charge of the Penglai Secret Realm.
The Chen, Lu, Wu, Pei, Situ, and other clans were all just disciples of the Tianyun Clan. They could not be compared to the central behemoth.
Perhaps it was also because its status was too special. Even after the Penglai Secret Realm mutated later, the major clans rose strongly and the Tianyun Clan gradually declined, no one dared to bully it.
It became very low-key.
However, its status in the Penglai Secret Realm was still irreplaceable by any clan …
In fact, if the big battle between the Pei and Situ clans this time was to the point where even the elders could not arbitrate, it was very likely that the Tianyun Clan in the Heavenly Dragon Cloud Sea would be invited to preside over it!
