One had to know that their previous battle had also destroyed a vast area called the Salt Crystal Plains.
However, that kind of place that was already vast and boundless on the scale of mortals was almost not worth mentioning in the entire Eastern Region.
The area it covered was only about two-thirds of the original size.
Compared to something that could destroy 30% of the land, it was simply on a different level.
Once that power was obtained by the enemy, they might really be able to suppress the Eastern Region and establish that huge dynasty.
With Jian Mo’s knowledge, she could not understand that level of strength after cracking her fingers for a long time. She could only nod and sit back down.
When the other low-grade Divine Judgment officials heard this, they finally became nervous.
They might not be of much help in terms of high-end combat strength, but they were also indispensable backbone forces.
“Is there any news about the corpse of the Polar Mountain King?”
The blue pillar of light representing the Sea Palace asked again. This matter was clearly more important.
The last one, the corpse of the last Nine Kings, meant that he had the initiative.
The two high-grade Divine Judgment leaders who had accepted this investigation stood up and began to report the results.
“We’ve investigated the Ice Plains thoroughly. There were two battles that reached the level of Earth Immortals.”
“The first time was naturally the night of the Tragic Death City’s attack.”
“That attack almost destroyed the Polar Castle. All the people left behind died or disappeared.”
“However, we believe that the corpse of the Polar Mountain King was not discovered and taken away by the other party.”
“It was precisely because of this that after the dead Polar Castle Lord joined the Blood King Palace, he returned to the Ice Plains to retrieve the corpse. At that time, he encountered a mysterious expert and a second battle occurred.”
“These are the traces of the second battle.”
As a leader spoke, he casually waved his hand and released an illusion technique, displaying a few key traces of the battle in front of everyone.
The illusion technique covered the huge space. Everyone felt as if they were at the scene and could clearly see the destruction.
At their level, even if they had not specially cultivated illusions, it was not difficult to use them.
“We once thought that the mysterious expert failed and his corpse was obtained by the Blood King Palace.”
“However, in the previous battle, the Blood King never took out the corpse of the Polar Mountain King. Moreover, the Polar Castle Lord did not appear again.”
“This is very abnormal. According to the performance of the Blood King Palace, we think that the mysterious person should have obtained the king’s corpse during the battle on the frozen ground. At that time, the other party had already grasped the ability to stop the Blood King Palace from summoning the souls of the dead.”
Everyone present guessed which faction that mysterious person came from. Was it a powerful faction in the cultivation world of the Eastern Region that had not joined the Divine Judgment Hall?
“Apart from that, there are two other points worth paying attention to.”
“After that conflict, the Ice Plains barbarians on the northernmost Ice Plains disappeared in an extremely short period. After that, rogue cultivators saw those barbarians in Fengdu City in the Netherworld Illusion.”
“We think that Fengdu City might be involved.”
Jiang Li had opened Fengdu City to the public earlier, and many rogue cultivators were staying in the city. Suddenly, tens of millions of people moved in. It was impossible to conceal unless they lived in the Chang Le Palace below the ground.
Jiang Li had expected to be discovered.
“There’s another thing. We discovered this on the battlefield.”
One of the high-grade Divine Judgment leaders took out a lump of ice. Inside was a ball of golden blood.
None of the people present had poor eyesight.
Almost all of them recognized this blood at a glance.
Then, they all turned their gazes to the weak Acting Dragon Head sitting on the medium-sized Divine Judgment seat.
This was because that ball of blood had clearly reached the level of a True Dragon!
It was naturally the blood left behind by the battle between Jiang Li and the Polar Castle Lord.
After all, he was fighting an Earth Immortal. With Jiang Li’s strength back then, it was impossible for him to not be injured or bleed.
Later on, although he seized the time to let his subordinates clean up the battlefield, it seemed that he had not completely cleaned it up, leaving behind such a ball of dragon blood.
However, the problem was that others did not know that he could transform into a dragon.
As far as was recognized, in the cultivation world of the Eastern Region, the only faction that specialized in dragon blood and had certain achievements was the Dragon Transformation Island!
Several of them had seen Guhei Tianchou’s Dragon Transformation before, so they immediately suspected him.
Thousands of gazes landed on Guhei Jian Mo.
“Acting Dragon Head, can you explain who the person who fought with the Polar Castle Lord for the corpse in the Ice Plains is?”
Guhei Jian Mo was dumbfounded and could only express that she did not know anything.
In fact, she really did not know anything. Guhei Tianchou was heavily injured. During this period of time, the entire Dragon Transformation Island basically closed its doors and lived its own lives. They were afraid of external enemies, so how could they snatch something that was at the center of attention?
Seeing that they could not get anything out of him, they invited several Earth Immortals who specialized in divination to act. They tried to use the two balls of blood as a medium to deduce and find that mysterious person.
There were many talents present, so it was not difficult to find these masters.
However, as several masters worked hard to deduce, the result was shocking.
The first master to deduce the result swore that the mysterious person was currently in the clouds of the Nine Heavens and was accompanied by colorful clouds.
Everyone looked at the white cloud pillar. Wasn’t this referring to the Cloud Manor? Could it be that the mysterious person was an expert of the Cloud Manor?
However, the next master overturned the previous outcome.
“No, no. That person is in the Nine Nether Underworld and is surrounded by yin wind and evil ghosts.”
These two masters had been famous for a long time. Usually, they could tell everything from your birth to your death with a glance.
For hundreds of years, there had been very few mistakes. They did not expect that today, there would be two completely different results.
Before the two of them could argue, the result of the next master was out.
“According to my calculations, that person is only a commoner who struggles to buy food every day…”
Halfway through, he did not believe it himself. He broke the tortoise shell in his hand and looked confused. How could a mysterious person like the Polar Castle Lord be a commoner?
“Cough cough, that… I think this person is no longer in the living world…”
The four masters looked at each other, their expressions doubting life.
Even if their deduction was wrong, there was actually a slight connection.
They had more or less peeked at the tip of Jiang Li’s iceberg.
What they saw was the “Rainbow Spring Immortal Powder” status on Jiang Li’s body, the surrounding Netherworld Illusion, the life of a mortal in the dream world, and the fact that he had indeed died once before.
However, to say that it was right, the result they obtained was beyond comprehension.
That was because Jiang Li possessed great merit and was protected by the Heavenly Dao’s Merit Blessing. He also had the Human Emperor’s inheritance.
How could he be so simple to deduce?
Not to mention that he was very strong to begin with, even an ordinary mortal was immune to these deductions under the protection of the Merit Blessing and the Human Emperor’s inheritance.
As for forcefully deducing people with great merit, these masters would probably be unlucky for some time.
“We have to find the corpse of the Polar Mountain King before the Blood King Palace.”
“Since that mysterious expert can’t be found, who is willing to go to Fengdu City to investigate?”
Since the attempt to deduce divine calculations was fruitless, the Divine Judgment Hall could only give up on this method and target Fengdu Ghost City.
“My Ink Scar Academy is willing to accept it.”
“Previously, a great scholar from our academy disappeared there. I wonder if it was the Blood King Palace or Fengdu City…”
...
Time passed bit by bit, and soon, 81 days passed.
At the border of Yin-Yang, Back Yin Mountain Peak.
There was a flesh cocoon that emitted powerful heartbeats from time to time.
Beside the flesh cocoon was a Nascent Soul with three heads and eight arms. Its entire body was covered in cracks, and it looked like it was about to shatter.
