You stood outside the cauldron and spoke calmly.
"Greetings, Sect Master Yu. I hope you've been well."
"Do I know you? Which of my enemies are you?"
"It seems you have quite a few enemies. I'm the one from Luoding Village."
"Luoding Village... Wasn't that village completely wiped out? There are survivors?"
"Tell honestly about what happened back then, and I'll spare your life."
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll tell you everything I know, holding nothing back!"
This Sect Master Yu was a spineless coward.
He probably cherished the cultivation realm he had worked so hard to attain and didn't want to die just like that.
You already knew that the Chixin Sect was a branch of the Sacred Fla Cult in the Central Plains.
In the village massacre case, the mastermind ordered the Sacred Fla Cult to carry out the slaughter, but the cult couldn't possibly send a group all the way from Xiliang.
So those who ultimately acted as the executioners were basically all mbers of the Chixin Sect.
Sect Master Yu indicated that as soon as the village massacre ended that day, he eliminated all those who had participated, throwing their bodies into the Qing River.
"You silenced everyone who participated in the massacre?"
"Naturally. While it's true I established the Chixin Sect with support from the Sacred Fla Cult, I didn't want to be used by them forever. I wanted to cut ties with them completely. The Luoding Village incident was the last thing I did for them!"
Sect Master Yu wanted to wash his hands clean, so he didn't hesitate to silence his own people.
"The Sacred Fla Cult's massacre was also ordered by soone else. Do you have any guesses about who this mastermind behind the scenes might be?"
"I don't know. That's definitely not soone I could ever co into contact with."
"Do you know that all the main mbers of the Sacred Fla Cult have been silenced?"
"I know... Obviously, the mastermind doesn't want anyone to know what he did. Thankfully, I severed ties with the Sacred Fla Cult long ago, otherwise I wouldn't have escaped death either."
"Who wiped out the Sacred Fla Cult?"
"Blood Moon, an assassin organization."
"Blood Moon organization? How co I've never heard of it?"
You've simulated four tis already. An organization capable of wiping out the Sacred Fla Cult at its peak shouldn't be sothing you've never heard of.
"It's not strange you haven't heard of it. Blood Moon isn't in the Five Regions; they're a force from the Great Wastes."
"Isn't the Great Wastes all demon tribes? Is Blood Moon a group of demons?"
"No. There are demons within the Five Regions, so of course there are also humans in the Great Wastes."
Outside the simulation, Chen Yi read every word carefully.
"The village massacre case finally has a new lead... Blood Moon..."
Although there was a new lead, Chen Yi felt things had beco even more perplexing.
It actually involved a human force from the Great Wastes.
Chen Yi tapped his fingers on the bed.
"There was nothing special about the village. The only special thing was Da Chun. Does soone in the Great Wastes want to kill Da Chun?"
To figure this out, he could only look for opportunities within the simulation to investigate further.
Regarding the village massacre case, what Sect Master Yu knew only extended to the level of Blood Moon.
As for who ordered Blood Moon, Sect Master Yu, a re Golden Body Realm leader of a second-rate sect, had no way of knowing.
He knew about this because a high-ranking mber of the Sacred Fla Cult survived when Blood Moon wiped out the cult and fled all the way to the Chixin Sect seeking shelter.
Sect Master Yu, living up to expectations, found an opportunity and ambushed the already severely injured survivor.
Otherwise, if Blood Moon had followed the trail, the Chixin Sect would have been finished long ago.
"One more question. Each floor of this tower has patterns similar to formations. What are they for?"
"They're just so formations to assist my cultivation. This is my secluded cultivation place, after all..."
"Don't take for a fool. Since I'm asking you, I naturally know these things aren't normal!"
Sect Master Yu sighed, truly not knowing who you were or how you had dug up his secrets so thoroughly.
"It was a demon tribe mber with an extrely ugly appearance. He said he wanted to borrow this tower within my sect. In exchange, he raised the level of the spiritual vein where our Chixin Sect is located by one grade."
He could directly raise the level of a spiritual vein?
This non-human race had so tricks up its sleeve...
"Demon tribe? Are you sure that guy was from the demon tribe?"
"He had a non-human appearance but could speak. What else could he be if not a demon tribe?"
This Sect Master Yu had told you everything, so it seed unlikely he would hide this piece of information.
Apparently, he didn't know that the one he cooperated with wasn't from the demon tribe but another intelligent race.
Confirming that Sect Master Yu had no more information worth your concern to reveal, you said indifferently.
"Da Chun, refine a pill."
The Nine Provinces Cauldron began to contract. Sect Master Yu inside the cauldron scread miserably.
"You're going back on your word! You said you wouldn't kill !"
You laughed at his foolishness.
"You actually believe what your enemy says?"
Sect Master Yu was refined into a pill by the Nine Provinces Cauldron. You didn't eat it, instead crushing it to powder under your foot.
This also avenged a part of the injustice for the villagers of Luoding Village, as well as your parents.
"Hmph, Blood Moon, and the guy behind Blood Moon, just wait. Your ends will be the sa as this fool's!"
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner said to the Nine Provinces Cauldron.
"Da Chun, oh Da Chun, look at you. You've learned bad things from this Chen Yi guy. You're refining people into pills now? Tsk tsk tsk, this kind of thing is usually what villains like do!"
Da Chun said with simple honesty.
"Uncle Wan, you're wrong. This Sect Master Yu was a bad person. He killed his own disciples, showing no loyalty or righteousness. He killed the senior who promoted him, showing no gratitude or righteousness. Such a bad person deserves to die. Killing one more bad person can save more good people."
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner beca agitated.
"What the... You... I... Damn it! I can't even win an argunt against a simpleton now??"
The next day.
The demon tribes near the Chixin Sect seed to have received so summons and began gathering towards the Chixin Sect.
You did not intervene, rely observing from the sidelines.
The Chixin Sect was involved in the village massacre case, so you couldn't muster sympathy for them, even though many were unaware.
Your intervention wouldn't an much anyway; what ca was a Demon Ancestor. You couldn't exactly beco his father.
However, there was one person you wanted to save as a matter of convenience.
Yin Rui, the guardian elder of the Chixin Sect's Scripture Repository.
You had a decent impression of him. Although you hadn't t in this life, it was just a small effort. Perhaps it could plant a seed of goodwill.
Black clouds pressed down upon the city, white grass danced in the northern wind.
The Demon Ancestor Azure Dragon coiled above the dark clouds, its dragon claws and scales flickering in and out of sight, a terrifying sight to behold.
The battle between the Chixin Sect and the horde of lesser demons had already begun.
Amidst the chaos, you moved as if through an unoccupied land, passing through the areas where both sides clashed.
Humans wouldn't attack you because you were human.
Demons might attack you, but the chance of them surviving more than three seconds after hitting you was unlikely.
You arrived near the Scripture Repository and saw Yin Rui.
At the sa ti, you also saw a phantom image on Yin Rui's body.
A phantom image with sharp horns growing from its head, a tail extending from its back, scales and barbs covering its body, and fleshy wings on its back!
"This is..."
