Di Shitian finished speaking, lifted his eyes to survey the nurous Elders and Inner Sect Disciples present, and disregarded the fervent gazes from many female disciples, wanting only to search for one familiar figure.
But he did not find him.
With a slight frown, Di Shitian said, "Where is my brother?"
The Sect Leader and many Elders, upon hearing Di Shitian's question, had a slight change in expression.
Afterward, the Sect Leader sighed softly and said, "We don't know; it's been over three months since he last contacted us."
"What?!" Di Shitian, upon hearing this, raised his eyebrows, and a terrifying aura suddenly burst forth.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
Instantly, the disciples present could not withstand his dreadful aura; they all bent their knees and knelt, trembling all over, with cold sweat streaming down.
Even so of the weaker Elders ended up with the sa fate, bending their knees to kowtow.
This scene was like the Emperor's wrath, making all his ministers bow their heads!
Only a few Supre Elders and the Sect Leader, even though they took the brunt of Di Shitian's pressure head-on, remained unshaken, as if they were facing a gentle breeze, with no effect at all.
This was because their strength was also at the eighth or ninth layer of the Divine Realm; under the sa circumstances, naturally, they would not be oppressed by Di Shitian's montum.
If it ca to a head-on battle, maybe they would be defeated by Di Shitian!
The upper echelons of the Liuyun Sect possessed such strength.
If Jian Ruyan knew this, she would definitely be greatly surprised.
Because having such strength ant that the Liuyun Sect was no longer considered a small sect; it could be compared to the Heavenly Sword Faction and the Blood Sword Sect, making it a middle-ranked sect.
"What's going on?! Why hasn't he contacted you for three months? Did you not go looking for him?"
Under the onslaught of anger, Di Shitian's oppressive aura burst forth subconsciously, and when he saw that almost everyone had knelt down, his anger was slightly curbed, and he asked with forced calmness.
The Sect Leader's complexion turned slightly pale as he explained, "We are also unclear about the situation. We suspect it is related to the recent dark unrest outside..."
As he spoke, his complexion grew even paler, his pupils constricted slightly as if he recalled sothing, and his gaze showed a look of fear and unease.
"Dark unrest, what is that?" Di Shitian, who had been in seclusion for nearly half a year, naturally did not know what had happened outside and asked.
The Sect Leader, with a pale face, then told Di Shitian about the incident that had happened not long ago.
At that ti, when Di Yin should have sent them a pigeon letter monthly to inform them of his condition, but it did not arrive, so, considering Di Shitian's position, they personally left the Kunlun Ruins to enter the outside world, the Kunlun Mountain, and then went to the Capital City in search of Di Yin.
As it happened, it was during the peak of the dark unrest; they encountered several Demons along the way. The more than ten people they had taken with them mostly died, and even at the Middle Stage of the Divine Realm, they could not even block the corruption of the Demons.
Luckily, the Demons they encountered were of the type that would stop after killing just one person; otherwise, they feared they would all have remained in Huaxia's territory.
They quickly arrived at the headquarters of the Capital City's Dragon King Hall, only to see a Demon rampant inside. With a sweep of their Divine Sense, they didn't find Di Yin's figure and guessed he might have t with misfortune, so they did not dare to stay longer and returned.
"Such an event occurred? So, you an to say, my brother might have already t with trouble?"
After hearing the Sect Leader's account, Di Shitian's brow furrowed even more tightly. Then, as if he thought of sothing, he said nothing more, stepped on the ground, and his figure imdiately soared into the air, darting toward his living quarters!
With Di Shitian gone,
the many disciples and Elders who were kneeling on the ground felt like they could finally breathe again and started getting up from the ground.
"This ti our Senior Brother erged from seclusion, he has truly beco so formidable," they remarked.
The crowd exclaid in amazent, their hearts holding an unspoken thought that even the Sect Leader and the Supre Elders seed helpless against the eldest senior brother.
After all, they still needed to seek sothing from Di Shitian, who, within the Liuyun Sect, might as well have beco the true Retired Emperor.
"Ah!!"
While they were discussing Di Shitian's strength and the exact situation of Di Yin, suddenly, a mournful cry abruptly emanated from Shitian Peak where Di Shitian resided, causing the mountains to tremble and forcing them to uncontrollably kneel again!
"What's happening?!"
"The eldest senior brother seems very sad?!"
The people lay prostrate on the ground, whispering in fright.
Seeing this, the Sect Leader and several Supre Elders' complexions shifted slightly, as if recalling sothing, they too stomped the ground and flew away from the rear mountain to find Di Shitian.
Arriving at Shitian Peak, the Sect Leader, accompanied by several Supre Elders, rushed directly into Di Shitian's room and saw him holding a life dallion that had broken into two halves, his expression filled with sorrow, tears streaming down his face.
"This..."
They recognized what Di Shitian was holding in his hands—it was the life dallion.
The purpose of the life dallion was to retain a drop of a person's essence blood and a wisp of their spiritual thought. Once the person died, the life dallion holding this essence and spiritual thought would shatter, informing relatives of their death!
A good life dallion could even transmit the victim's final monts before death.
Such life dallions were typically issued by great sects and large families to their disciples, so that if their disciple t with an accident, they would know who the enemy was!
Clearly, Di Yin, who ca from the sa fallen royal clan as Di Shitian, had such a dallion.
And now that the dallion was shattered, it signified, just as they had guessed, that Di Yin had indeed run into trouble a long ti ago.
Di Shitian closed his eyes tightly, letting tears flow freely down from his eyes, his expression extrely sorrowful. Fresh chapters posted on n0velfire
Just now, he had returned to his room, taken out his brother Di Yin's life dallion, and witnessed the scene of his death at the hands of Xiang Mantang!
He had not died in so dark chaos, but had been murdered!
"Dragon King Hall, I want all of you dead!"
Di Shitian clenched his fists tightly, crushed the life dallion, and roared.
He and his brother were not from Yan Kingdom; they had co from another country, princes of a fallen kingdom.
They had fled to Yan Kingdom, depending solely on each other for survival. Eventually, not daring to join the Four Great Sects of Yan Kingdom for fear of being found by their enemies, they joined the Liuyun Sect!
After joining the Liuyun Sect, given his exceptional talent and a fortuitous encounter twenty years ago, the sect decided to nurture him wholeheartedly, placing a bet on him to help the Liuyun Sect beco one of the new Four Great Sects of Yan Kingdom!
And Di Shitian needed vast cultivation resources to grow stronger so that he could return and exact his revenge!
Unfortunately, his brother Di Yin lacked cultivation talent and was playful by nature. Since they had been young when their kingdom was destroyed, Di Yin did not harbor the sa deep-seated hatred and wasn't constantly thinking of revenge and restoring the kingdom!
Therefore, Di Shitian did not want Di Yin to bear that pressure and allowed him to wander around Huaxia. Little did he know, Di Yin would end up dead at the hands of soone from Dragon King Hall!
"Grit, grit..."
Di Shitian's fist crunched as he clenched it, wishing he could flay Xiang Mantang alive.
Their brothers' great vengeance had yet to be avenged, and now his brother had t with an untily incident. He would no longer be able to see the day when he took revenge and reclaid the throne!
How could he not utterly despise Xiang Mantang!
