This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 675 - 18: Lu Qingshan Must Die!

Chapter 675 -18: Lu Qingshan Must Die!

After Mo Yan finished refining the Yin Demon Flame, he chose to return to the Candle Dragon Hall.

First, because the subsequent actions were Lu Qingshan and Dantai Qingrun’s own business, he no longer needed to assist, nor could he assist.

Second, after Mo Yan had comprehended the Primordial Intent of Fire Attribute, he could advance to Void Refining at any time, and he did not want to delay any longer.

Especially after discovering that Lu Qingshan had already pulled such a large gap between them, the impulse to advance to Void Refining became even more urgent.

As for Lu Qingshan, when he discovered that the Peach Blossom Mark branded on the Six Fires Taoist had remained within a small area after three days without significant movement, he roughly pinpointed the location of the new Netherworld branch hall.

However, compared to the Pan Sect, this new Netherworld branch hall’s strength must be much stronger, certainly containing Divine Transformation Cultivators, which he and Dantai Qingrun could not handle by their strength alone.

Fortunately, Dantai Qingrun’s identity as a Xiuchun Cultivator allowed them to borrow the power from the Western Domain’s Guardian Tower.

Half a day later, a detailed address was forwarded to the hands of the high-level cultivators at the Western Domain’s Guardian Tower under Dantai Qingrun’s name.

At this time, just a few days had passed since the major breach in the Southern Territory’s Netherworld, and Dantai Qingrun’s popularity had not yet faded.

So, the Western Domain’s Guardian Tower did not hesitate and decisively mobilized cultivators to take action.

…….

In the sinister Grand Hall.

“Prometheus?” the Hall Master murmured, repeating the name, lost in thought.

This name was, in fact, something he heard for the first time.

But his thinking completely differed from that of the Six Fires Taoist.

Because the name was so peculiar, he believed it was not fabricated but genuinely belonged to an existing power.

After all, if someone were to casually fabricate a name, by common sense, it should be a smooth-sounding name, so why would it be so awkward?

“This Prometheus must be a real force,” the Hall Master made a definitive judgment, “a hidden and mysterious force.”

“The hall master is wise,” the Six Fires Taoist did not know how the Hall Master made the judgment, but it did not stop him from flattering the Hall Master, while also asking, “Now that the Yin Demon Flame has emerged, the fact that Pan Sect is actually our Netherworld’s branch hall affair has become undoubted. How should we handle the Pan Sect situation now?”

Yes, after fleeing through the Space-Rending Talisman, he had not notified the rest colleagues at Pan Sect and had rushed here. He indeed epitomized the notion of sacrificing friends for self-preservation to the extreme.

“In this troublesome time, Pan Sect, which has exposed its identity, is a hot potato,” Hall Master’s gaze deepened, “Simply abandon it, forcing it back might lead others to dig deeper, finding out more of our information….”

“Wait….” Speaking of this, the Hall master suddenly realized something, his heart alarmed, as he looked at the Six Fires Taoist trembling below and asked urgently, “How did you escape from the ambush and massacre? What was the exact situation at that time?”

The Six Fires Taoist, hearing the tone of Hall Master, also picked up the implication.

He trembled all over and quickly recounted the situation to prove his innocence, “I took the opportunity when three of them were there, one refining the Demonic Fire, one distracted by his companion who was refining the Demonic Fire, and one going to kill the Seven Fires, I decisively used the Space-Rending Talisman to escape….”

The explanation by Six Fires Taoist did not alleviate the Hall Master’s concern, but rather made his expression even more uncomfortable.

“Since that person dared to refine the Demonic Fire on the spot, he must have been confident, and his companion must have been aware of this. How could he have negligently let you escape?”

“They did it… on purpose?” the Six Fires Taoist turned pale at the words, his voice trembling, “What are they doing this for?”

“Most likely,” the Hall Master had gotten up, his expression grim, his mind also somewhat conflicted, “As for the purpose….”

He was unable to sort through the underlying reasons for a moment.

If the assaulters belonged to the Guardian Tower, then the reason for intentionally letting the Six Fires Taoist escape would be simple, certainly a trap to follow the trail and catch bigger fish.

The main issue lay in his lack of understanding of the force named “Prometheus,” with all the information being baseless, so he could not accurately determine the opponent’s motives.

Yet he already had a bad premonition.

Seeing the Hall Master’s solemn demeanor, the Six Fires Taoist also became very anxious and worried.

He had thought he was turning the tables from a desperate situation and soaring to great heights hereafter, but the developments of the situation turned out to be so troubling that he felt utterly despairing.

A heavy atmosphere permeated the grand hall.

According to the Hall Master’s reasoning, regardless of the opponent’s motives, the most prudent choice would be to immediately evacuate all personnel from this branch hall.

Because the hall’s location might have been exposed due to the presence of the Six Fires Taoist.

However, this branch hall was not just some dispensable minor hall but a major one overseeing several states, and the cost of withdrawing personnel would be enormous.

He worried about being overly cautious and causing needless losses to the Netherworld.

As the Hall Master weighed the pros and cons.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion sounded not far away, followed by a fierce surge of Spiritual Power.
