Fang Bai crouched down, his palm gently patting the Chaos Heaven Sect disciple, channeling a wisp of his own Chaos Immortal Qi into the disciple’s body.
Soon, the disciple’s vitality was stimulated, and his injuries began to heal at an observable speed. His previously weak and unfocused gaze regained its clarity.
"Speak, who exterminated your Chaos Heaven Sect?"
Fang Bai fixed his gaze on the disciple, asking in a deep voice.
The Chaos Heaven Sect disciple’s mind was still a bit groggy. Hearing the question, a trace of fear appeared on his face, and he mumbled incoherently: "He... it’s him... Immortal... Immortal Emperor... Jinwu..."
Fang Bai’s heart shook, and he exclaid: "Is it the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor?"
Upon hearing the na "Golden Crow Immortal Emperor," the Chaos Heaven Sect disciple was struck as if by lightning, shivering all over, and suddenly awakened from his muddled state.
"Who... who are you?"
Upon seeing Fang Bai so close, the disciple was unsure if he was friend or foe, and couldn’t help but beco wary.
"Never mind who I am!"
Fang Bai looked at the disciple coldly and said: "I only want to know whether it was the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor who exterminated your Sect?"
The Chaos Heaven Sect disciple was a half-step Immortal Emperor expert. Had he not been severely wounded and lost his combat capability, he would not have paid any attention to Fang Bai, a re sixth-grade Immortal King Realm Immortal.
But at this mont, this little Immortal of the sixth-grade Immortal King Realm could easily take his life. How could he dare not to be honest?
Moreover, he noticed the two Buddhas standing behind Fang Bai, whose re presence exerted powerful pressure, and their cultivation far exceeded his own, adding to his fear.
"It was the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor..."
Looking around, all he saw were the corpses of his fellow disciples from the sa Sect, making him shiver and stamr: "Ten days ago, the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor suddenly descended and began his killing spree... Our entire Chaos Heaven Sect, except for a dozen high-ranking Immortal Emperor Realm mbers who were taken away, all others were slaughtered..."
He rembered the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s palm descending, the void collapsing, with imperial might enveloping the land for a thousand miles, causing the instant demise of over half of the thousands of Chaos Heaven Sect disciples, making his teeth chatter.
Fang Bai asked: "How did a small Sect like Chaos Heaven Sect provoke the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor?"
The Chaos Heaven Sect disciple shook his head and said: "No... The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor is a top-tier Immortal Emperor of this era, how could we dare to provoke him..."
Fang Bai stared intently into the disciple’s eyes, sternly asking: "Really not?"
He perford the Soul Capture Technique, wanting to discern if the disciple’s words were true.
In his view, given the stature of a top-tier Immortal Emperor like the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, if Chaos Heaven Sect hadn’t offended him, why would he co over for no reason to destroy it?
And the Moon Sea Sect should be even less likely to be connected to the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, yet they too were exterminated by him. Fang Bai suspected that there might be so earth-shattering dark secret behind the destruction of these two major Sects.
Fang Bai perford the Soul Capture Technique on the disciple but didn’t gain any useful information, which left him sowhat disappointed.
In fact, Fang Bai hoped Linghu Qianjiao had indeed been taken by the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, as that would an Linghu Qianjiao hadn’t perished.
Though the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor is one of the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors of this era, imnsely powerful, Fang Bai trusted that as long as his own power continued to advance, one day he could rescue Linghu Qianjiao.
The Roaring Arhat and Golden Palm Arhat standing behind Fang Bai changed their expressions slightly upon hearing the na "Golden Crow Immortal Emperor."
Being one of the high-ranking mbers of Tianyin Temple, and having lived for tens of thousands of years, they naturally knew that the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor was a top-tier Immortal Emperor whose strength exceeded even the Great Luo Immortal Emperor.
Since the Emperor’s Palace was destroyed by the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor and other top-tier Immortal Emperors a thousand years ago, Tianyin Temple severed all ties with the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors, leaving their relationship in an ice-cold state.
In the last century, each of the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors went into seclusion to cultivate, reportedly aiming to achieve the Great Emperor Realm, rarely venturing out.
Yet the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor suddenly appeared here, and exterminated two major Sects, which was extrely abnormal. What was his true intention?
Roaring Arhat and Golden Palm Arhat both sensed sothing unusual and wished to imdiately return to Tianyin Temple to report this matter to the Great Luo Immortal Emperor.
"Go back and tell the Great Luo Immortal Emperor that the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor seems to have been restless recently, and to take extra caution!"
Seeing the unrest in Roaring Arhat and Golden Palm Arhat’s hearts, Fang Bai waved his hand and said.
Now that both Moon Sea Sect and Chaos Heaven Sect had been exterminated and Linghu Qianjiao was nowhere to be found, it was pointless to keep Roaring Arhat and Golden Palm Arhat, so Fang Bai let them leave.
"Immortal Friend Fang, take care!"
Roaring Arhat and Golden Palm Arhat were relieved upon Fang Bai’s release, they folded their hands in salute to him and then swiftly departed on the Auspicious Clouds.
Fang Bai couldn’t gather any substantial information from the Chaos Heaven Sect disciple, and with concern for Linghu Qianjiao’s safety, he planned to head towards the Golden Crow Palace Mountain where the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor resided.
Fang Bai wondered why the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor took Linghu Qianjiao, Moon Sea Fairy, and other immortals. After thinking it over, he felt that it was unlikely for them to be taken as celestial partners or for conjoint cultivation, as such practices wouldn’t offer any significant assistance to an Emperor Realm expert like him.
Soon, Fang Bai considered another possibility, sending chills down his spine.
"There are secret techniques within the Demon Clan that involve absorbing Immortal essence blood for cultivation. The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s actions differ from other Immortal Emperors, could it be that in recent years, he’s fallen into the Demon Dao to break through to the Great Emperor Realm?"
The more Fang Bai thought, the more plausible it seed, because for no other reason could he fathom why the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor would, with the stature of an Emperor Realm expert, exterminate the small Moon Sea and Chaos Heaven Sects, and abduct their high-level Immortal Emperor experts.
To a regular Immortal Emperor, such actions would be beneath them.
Once one falls into the Demon Dao, recklessness follows.
Fang Bai rode a bird, flying east.
The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s residence, Golden Crow Palace Mountain, was situated in the extre east of the Transcending Heaven Domain, where there were endless volcanoes, infinite seas of fire, and abundant fire-system cultivation resources, deed a Cultivation Holy Land for fire-system immortals in the Immortal Realm.
The area of one million miles governed by the Golden Crow Palace here belonged wholly to the Golden Crow Palace created by the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor.
The Golden Crow Palace had tens of thousands of disciples and ruled over a thousand Immortal Cities, with innurable subordinate forces of varying sizes.
Reportedly, the Golden Crow Palace, when fully mobilized, could amass a force reaching up to a million, an intimidating force that only the other seven top-tier Immortal Emperor forces in the Immortal Realm could contend with.
If Linghu Qianjiao and other Immortals had indeed been taken to the Golden Crow Palace, Fang Bai’s solitary effort to rescue them would be unimaginably difficult.
