Chapter 1318: The Rage of the Immortal Emperor Jingchen

As soon as Lu Chen and Xiao Qiu left the valley, Li Zegang and his two companions landed silently in this quiet place.

Li Zegang was thinking that if Sima Mingyi could kill Lu Chen, he would be able to appear like a mantis stalking a cicada while the oriole waits behind, and at least get some benefits from Sima Mingyi.

However, when the three of them saw the bodies of Sima Mingyi and his companions, their faces instantly became solemn.

Especially Li Zegang, he never thought that the always conceited Sima Mingyi would be killed by that cultivator.

And judging from the traces of fighting, Sima Mingyi and the other two seemed to have been killed instantly.

"This...what's going on?" One of Li Zegang's companions, named Zhao Cheng, couldn't help but ask out loud, his tone full of shock and confusion.

Li Zegang was silent for a moment, and scanned the surroundings with deep eyes. "It seems that we have all underestimated that cultivator. You and I both know Sima Mingyi's strength. He is also a leader among the younger generation.

Even if I faced him, I wouldn't dare kill him with one strike. But that monk was able to defeat him so easily. This person should not be underestimated."

At this time, another companion, named Su Yao, squatted down and carefully examined Sima Mingyi's body, his brows furrowed.

"From the scene, it seems he was instantly defeated by an extremely powerful law-force, leaving no trace of struggle. This shows that the opponent is not only extremely powerful, but also has an attainment in the power of law that is unmatched by ordinary people."

"So," Zhao Cheng took over the conversation, "I'm afraid our previous plan to take advantage of the opportunity won't work.

Fortunately, we arrived a little late, otherwise, we might have suffered the same fate."

Li Zegang nodded, "That's right. However, Sima Mingyi's death will surely enrage the entire Burial Heaven Divine Sect. I just don't know if that cultivator can withstand the wrath of the Burial Heaven Divine Sect. Let's go!"

After saying that, the three of them flashed and disappeared instantly...

Three days passed by like a flash.

In a special void in the Chaos Star Domain, when the passage to the Chaos Secret Realm was opened again, rays of light poured out from it, teleporting the 10,000 cultivators who had entered it out almost at the same time.

However, when the Immortal Emperors counted the number of people, they found that only more than 8,000 cultivators returned safely, and they all lamented the dangers of the Chaos Secret Realm.

The twelve Immortal Emperors looked heavy-hearted, feeling sorry for the fallen cultivators.

At this moment, a figure tremblingly came in front of the Immortal Emperor Jingchen.

This person was none other than a fellow disciple of Sima Mingyi. His face was pale, and in a weak but eager voice, he told Sima Mingyi the reason why he was chasing a young cultivator and the matter of the Five Elements Dao Fruit.

When the Immortal Emperor Jingchen heard the news of his young master's death, especially when he learned that he might have been killed by that young cultivator, he became furious and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"How dare you kill the young master of my Heaven Burial Divine Sect right under my nose! No matter who it is, I will tear him into pieces."

His voice was filled with endless anger and murderous intent. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, so cold that it was frightening.

This time he came on behalf of the Zangtian Divine Sect, leading a group of fellow disciples. Before leaving, the sect leader Sima Changchun repeatedly told him to take good care of Sima Mingyi. Now that Sima Mingyi is dead, how should he face the sect leader?

When he thought of this, a suffocating pressure suddenly emanated from the body of the Immortal Emperor Jingchen, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted by this power.

A group of Taiyi Xuanxian realm cultivators suffered terribly under this pressure, and fell to their knees on the ground, begging for mercy one after another.

"Immortal Emperor Jingchen, please calm down! There must be something hidden in this matter, please look carefully!" An elderly cultivator crawled on the ground in mid-air, his voice trembling.

"Yes, Lord Jingchen, we are willing to cooperate with the investigation. We only ask that you take back your aura." Another cultivator also pleaded, his face full of fear.

Just when the situation was about to get out of control, a cold voice broke the tense atmosphere.

"Brother Jingchen, please calm down. Why take your anger out on these innocent monks before you figure out the truth?"

The Immortal Emperor Qingluan quickly stepped forward. He was present when the disciple reported earlier. Although he could understand the Immortal Emperor Jingchen's feelings at the moment, he could not ignore the safety of other innocent cultivators.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Emperor Jingchen's expression softened slightly, though a dangerous glint still shone through it. He took a deep breath, suppressed his rage, and nodded. "Brother Qingluan is right, but I must get to the bottom of this."

After saying this, the murderous aura on him gradually dissipated, and the space around him became much more relaxed.

The monks kneeling on the ground dared to raise their heads cautiously, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Then, the Immortal Emperor Jingchen turned around and looked at everyone, and asked in a cold voice:

"Who among you killed Sima Mingyi? Stand out! I can spare your life, but if I find out who did it, I will destroy your soul and make you never be reborn."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence all around, and then there were discussions:

"Sima Mingyi is dead? How is this possible! He is a leader in the Immortal Venerable level, with unfathomable strength.

Plus, he has the backing of a giant like the Burial Heaven Sect, so who would have the guts to attack him? "

Everyone was shocked and whispered to each other, all full of confusion and shock about the cause of Sima Mingyi's death.

"It is said that Sima Mingyi was killed by a young monk, and he died with one blow!" Suddenly, a monk in the crowd whispered.

"What? Killed with one strike? How is that possible! Even for a master of the same level, defeating him would be a difficult task, let alone killing him with one strike. Who is this young monk? He is so powerful!"

People's curiosity was completely aroused, and they all speculated about the identity and origin of the young monk.

Some say he is a genius from a hidden sect, some say he was blessed by ancient magic weapons, and some say he is the reincarnation of some peerless powerful person... There are many different opinions, but there is no conclusive evidence.

Faced with everyone's shock and discussions, the Immortal Emperor Jingchen saw that no one admitted to killing Sima Mingyi, so he took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger.

Then he asked, "Has anyone among you seen or known a cultivator who has an ancient mythical beast, the Pixiu, as a pet?"

Hearing this question, the crowd once again erupted in whispers:

"The ancient mythical beast Pixiu? It's a rare immortal beast, and it's very difficult to level up. The cultivator who has it as an immortal pet must be extraordinary."

"Could it be that person who killed Sima Mingyi? It's unbelievable."

"I know this monk. It's simply shameless for one man and one beast to be together."

Although these discussions were quiet, they could not escape the sharp ears of the Immortal Emperor Jingchen...
