Chapter 997 - 997 650 Breakthrough

Chapter 997: Chapter 650 Breakthrough Chapter 997: Chapter 650 Breakthrough Qiao Laoliu came back from the outer hall and saw Fire Buddha, his face panicked, his voice trembling,

“Big brother, I saw a ghost, the outer hall is empty, many brothers… are dead.”

Fire Buddha’s eyes were sharp, “How did they die?”

“I don’t know…”

Qiao Laoliu muttered.

Fire Buddha remained silent, only his Blood Qi was boiling, and his Evil Qi grew heavier.

Qiao Laoliu’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly said,

“It seems they were killed by someone… without anyone noticing and then their bodies discarded in the Rotten River, their flesh dissolved, leaving no trace…”

“There are still a few left in the middle hall…”

“The outer hall is almost… all dead…”

Qiao Laoliu swallowed hard, his expression uneasy.

“Impossible!”

Fire Buddha, a tall Demon Cultivator with a grim and pale face, said.

This person was Yin Thunder Child who had once met Mo Hua and had chased after him.

Yin Thunder Child frowned and said,

“I was just chatting with Shi Laoer…”

Yin Thunder Child’s face showed anger, “That bastard, he was very arrogant in his words. With his cultivation, he couldn’t have died without a trace so quickly…”

As he said this, several other Demon Cultivators behind Fire Buddha also remembered.

“Me too…”

“I also exchanged messages with Human Butcher…”

“He cursed me too, someday I will slaughter that beast…”

“And that bastard Yu Shusheng too…”

“Fireworker Chief also cursed me…”

…

Everyone exchanged uneasy glances, feeling a chill.

“If they are all dead, then is it…”

“Ghosts sending us messages?”

Fire Buddha’s expression was cold and his Evil Qi solidified. His gaze slowly shifted, then suddenly a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

“Master Yuan!”

The Demon Cultivators then remembered that all the movements and patrols in the Demon Palace were monitored by Master Yuan.

A sinister wind rose, and bloodlight flickered.

The Demon Cultivators hurriedly mobilized their movement techniques, rushing to the Yuan Magnetic Formation Secret Chamber in the center of the Demon Cave.

The Formation at the entrance to the secret chamber had already been broken.

As everyone pushed the door and entered, they saw a cold corpse lying inside, with blood holes in the forehead and Dantian, several stabs in the heart, hands broken, and the blood dried up.

The corpse looked miserable, but from the figure and attire, it was indeed Master Yuan.

“Dead?!”

The Demon Cultivators were shocked.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage, Nineteen Patterns Divine Sense, terrifying expertise in formations, and respected as an Evil Formation Master with a weird and mad temperament, Master Yuan…

He died so silently?

He died in his own Formation Secret Chamber.

And none of the Demon Cultivators in the full hall knew about it.

The Demon Cultivators were momentarily enraged and startled:

“Who killed him?”

“Who could possibly kill…”

“This is the Holy Temple…”

“How could they have sneaked in?”

“Do we have a traitor among us?”

“Shut your fucking mouth!”

…

“Could it be… a Feathered Immortal from the Dao Court?” A Demon Cultivator exclaimed in shock.

“Shut up, you fool!”

“We are at the Second Grade State Border, even if Feather Transformation came, he couldn’t have killed so many so quickly…”

“Feather Transformation against Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn’t be so sneaky and vile…”

…

People discussed heatedly, then gradually calmed down and silently looked towards Fire Buddha.

Fire Buddha stepped forward and examined Master Yuan’s corpse.

As he looked, Fire Buddha suddenly paused.

“This is Wind-System Spiritual Power…”

“Very profound…”

“Not just Foundation Establishment Late Stage, it’s deliberately suppressed, it’s… Golden Core…”

“Golden Core, Wind-System Spiritual Power, this is…”

Fire Buddha’s eyes turned blood-red, his hands trembled, and the two heart-like fireballs in his chest throbbed violently.

An old wound on his chest, as if slashed by a thousand knives, suddenly hurt violently…

“Gu—Changhuai…”

Fire Buddha said word by word.

His expression was cold, but on the red Kasaya, blood-like flames had already seeped out, and above the flames, a murky Evil Qi faintly entwined…

Qiao Laoliu said with a fearful expression:

“Big Brother!”

The other Demon Cultivators all fell silent, daring not to make a sound.

Seeing the rage surge up, his body as if engulfed in fire, the Evil Qi about to lose control.

Fire Buddha gritted his teeth, chanted, “Amitabha,” then recited Buddhist scriptures, Strongly Inhibiting his mind, suppressing the turbulent murderous intent in his heart.

His expression became compassionate again.

The other Demon Cultivators also silently breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s not a traitor, it’s the Dao Court Department of Ceremonies…”

Fire Buddha said indifferently, then continued to examine Master Yuan’s corpse.

“Both hands are broken…”

“His skull was struck by a club-like Spiritual Artifact…”

“His neck was strangled… his heart channel was pierced from behind with a short knife…”

“His eyes bulged out, his face scorched, this is… Fireball Technique?”

“Whose Fireball Technique? Quite interesting…”

Fire Buddha probably reimagined the assassination process of Master Yuan in his mind, then looked at the dark green bloodstains on the ground, his expression startled.

“Poison?”

Was the knife laced with poison?

Fire Buddha frowned:

“This doesn’t seem like Gu Changhuai’s style of doing things…”

“Have not met for many years, has he become despicable?”

Moreover, Master Yuan, with the Heavenly Demon’s Eyes, had tempered the Blood Wine, borrowed Heavenly Demon’s Evil Thoughts, and had extremely strong Divine Sense, how could he possibly not have had any means of resistance and just been killed?

“Could it be… Gu Changhuai had an accomplice?”

Fire Buddha’s gaze flickered.

“This person is meticulously minded, ruthless, and proficient in Divine Thought Technique and Formation Art…”

“This way he could make a foolproof plan, allowing the powerful Evil Thoughts of Master Yuan to be led to the slaughter without resistance…”

Did Gu Changhuai have an expert by his side?

Fire Buddha’s expression became increasingly serious.

“Big brother, what do we do now?”

Yin Thunder Child saw Fire Buddha frown and ponder for a long time, the atmosphere suppressed, then he quietly asked.
