Chapter 1203 Transfer
He shook his head slightly.

The wounds inflicted by the golden sword will not leave any useful clues.

The Golden Sword possesses the wonder of the Shadowless Divine Sword, capable of concealing its aura to the point of near nothingness, and is further enhanced by the will of the people, which can interfere with and confuse their senses.

No matter how high their cultivation level is, they cannot sense him because of this.

Zhao Ruilin frowned, stood up, and said, "Let's go, let's go back as soon as possible."

"Junior Brother Lu...?" Sun Haoyang asked.

Zhao Ruilin shook his head: "If we can't find the murderer, then let's ask the God to come."

"That's right, the God is here!" Sun Haoyang clapped his hands: "I forgot about that!"

He said excitedly, "With the Divine Lord's intervention, the murderer will surely be found! ... Senior Brother, go back and gather the disciples, I will go and invite the Divine Lord over."

“…Let’s go together.” Zhao Ruilin looked around and said slowly.

He vaguely felt his hair stand on end; it seemed as if danger was watching him from all sides, ready to strike at any moment.

The murderer is likely lurking nearby, so it's best not to be alone.

He said in a deep voice, "Let's go together and bring Junior Brother Lu's corpse to see the Divine Lord."

"Okay." Sun Haoyang agreed, bending down to pick up the corpse.

The three returned together and, to everyone's surprise, stood before Zhu Lingyun.

Zhu Lingyun opened his eyes, frowned as he looked at the corpse, and reached out a hand.

The corpse suddenly flew up and landed heavily in front of him with a "bang".

He pressed his hand against the sword wound and closed his eyes.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and a cold light flashed across the sky.

The experts of the Giant Spirit Sect all avoided the view, not daring to look directly at them.

"Hey, what a jerk!" Zhu Lingyun sneered, "This is a provocation against me!"

Sun Haoyang was about to speak when Zhao Ruilin glared at him.

Zhu Lingyun slowly said, "Since that's the case, then I will have a go at him!"

“Your Majesty, anyone capable of killing Junior Brother Lu silently and with a single blow is no ordinary expert,” Zhao Ruilin said in a deep voice. “It is very likely an expert from one of the four major sects.”

He also wondered if he was a master of the Exorcism Division, but ultimately denied it.

I've seen experts like those from the Exorcising Evil Division before, but I don't sense their presence.

And those with such cultivation levels that one cannot even detect their aura are probably only found in the four major sects of the world.

After all, the four major sects mainly deal with demons and monsters, and have been fighting in the deep mountains and forests, rarely taking action against the disciples of the Giant Spirit Sect.

"The four major sects are here to join the fun?" Zhu Lingyun sneered. "Dare to kill my men? Heh, I'll make them beg for death!"

His face grew increasingly gloomy.

Something strange was discovered.

The aura swirling around the wound is willpower, a power of a higher level!

He frowned as he looked at the statue of the Undying Evil Lord, his face grim and dark.

Hu Chengxiang said softly, "God, could it be related to this statue?"

Zhu Lingyun's face was gloomy, and he remained silent.

Hu Chengxiang knew this was tantamount to tacit approval, and secretly sighed that the deity seemed to be wary of the murderer.

Could it be that the idol has a successor, and the murderer is that successor?
Or perhaps the statues also possess the power to descend, as if a deity were to descend upon the land?
Zhao Ruilin asked, "Divine Lord, how should we respond?"

"What do you think?" Zhu Lingyun said calmly.

Zhao Ruilin said, "Since it's done secretly, he's probably alone."

Zhu Lingyun remained noncommittal.

Zhao Ruilin said, "He killed Junior Brother Lu, either because of Junior Brother Lu's identity, or because he didn't want Junior Brother Lu to kill those hundred people to build the Blood Pool, ... or because he was afraid of suppressing the statue, or for the sake of the innocent... If it's the former, it should be inseparable from the statue; if it's the latter, then it's the experts from the four major sects!"

"Can you handle him?" Zhu Lingyun asked.

Zhao Ruilin sighed, "This wound is strange; there's no way to sense its location."

“You can’t sense the interference of will,” Zhu Lingyun snorted.

Zhao Ruilin asked, "Could the Divine Lord possibly dispel this interference, allowing us to sense him?"

Zhu Lingyun clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and murmured something under his breath. At the same time, his palms formed a mudra that slowly bloomed like a lotus flower.

At first glance, it seems as if he is smiling as he plucks a blooming flower, elegant and composed like a celestial being.

He formed a hand seal and gently touched the wound on the golden sword.

"Om..."

A muffled sound came from the void.

It was as if a giant bronze bell had been struck, the sound vibrating through the air and shaking their very being.

A blur appeared before their eyes, and they vaguely saw a golden light appear on the back of the corpse's head.

When the golden light touched his palm, it formed a small, dazzling sun.

Exploded instantly.

"boom!"

Zhu Lingyun leaned back, his hand seals were thrown away, and his original composure and elegance instantly turned into a disheveled state.

"Your Majesty!" Sun Haoyang rushed forward and reached out to help him up.

Zhu Lingyun straightened up, glared at him, and snapped, "Shut up!"

Sun Haoyang quickly shut his mouth, withdrew his hands, and looked at the corpse and then at him in confusion.

The people around were all curious.

It was clear that Zhu Lingyun had suffered a loss in silence, yet he was extremely curious about how he had managed to do it.

Sun Haoyang was even more itchy to get his hands on it.

Zhao Ruilin said in a deep voice, "Divine Lord, is there something strange about this person's sword?"

Zhu Lingyun snorted, "The will is stronger than I thought! ...Could it be the work of the sect leaders of the four major sects?"

“This…” Zhao Ruilin hesitated.

He thought it was impossible.

The leaders of the four major sects usually stay in the mountains and will not leave unless there is a matter of life and death.

Moreover, they would never secretly kill an elder of the Giant Spirit Sect.

"This is no ordinary swordsmanship; it's a higher level of power," Zhu Lingyun scoffed. "His sword must be a spiritual weapon!" "Then what do we do?" Sun Haoyang hurriedly asked, "Can we catch up with him?"

Zhu Lingyun glanced at him sideways.

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? What an tactless, reckless fool!
Hu Chengxiang said, "Senior brother, if the three of us go together, he won't dare to make a move after he's done it."

Zhao Ruilin nodded: "Divine Lord, then let's go and gather people to build the Blood Pool first."

"Go." Zhu Lingyun waved his hand, staring blankly at the corpse.

The aura emanating from the sword wound on the corpse had completely dissipated, leaving no trace; the trail had gone cold.

This angered him and made him wary.

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems that my golden sword has a good chance of subduing this god.

The three of them floated away.

Zhu Lingyun glanced at the surrounding experts from the Giant Spirit Sect and said in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to approach within ten meters of this statue!"

"Yes," the group replied, clasping their hands in a gesture of respect.

Zhu Lingyun flashed away, transforming into a wisp of wind and disappearing from everyone's sight.

He had already secretly followed Zhao Ruilin and the other two.

Chu Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back on the mountaintop, his figure obscured by the rocks. He withdrew his gaze and revealed a smile.

This deity doesn't seem that strong; his spiritual power can't overpower the power of popular will associated with the Golden Sword.

This would allow us to fight.

Once he felt confident, he didn't rush to take action, but instead considered a foolproof plan.

With that thought, he vanished in a flash, and the next moment, he appeared in a forest.

Zhou Chongming, who was resting, raised an eyebrow, whispered a few words to the Heavenly Sword Sect expert beside him, then floated up and left the group of experts from the four major sects.

This attracted the attention of others.

He left for a while, then returned and turned around.

Is he leaving again? Has he received another secret message?
Zhou Chongming appeared in front of Chu Zhiyuan and asked with a smile, "Zhiyuan, what news is there now?"

Chu Zhiyuan said softly, "Uncle-Master Zhou, I have located the Giant Spirit Sect's headquarters."

Zhou Chongming's spirits lifted.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Should we just go and wipe them out?"

"Given this opportunity, we should certainly take action!" Zhou Chongming's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said in a deep voice, then he thought for a moment and added, "But we are probably not enough."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I have already reported to the sect leader, and the sect leader is preparing to take action."

Zhou Chongming smiled: "The sect leader also deeply abhors these evil spirits. How could we let go of the opportunity to destroy their lair?"

Chu Zhiyuan said, "I will make a move secretly first, and you, Uncle Zhou, will be the vanguard. The sect leader will send some more experts to help, and that should be enough."

Zhou Chongming asked, "How do we deal with that evil lord?"

“I’ve been trying to figure out his true strength and weaknesses, and now I’ve pretty much figured it out,” Chu Zhiyuan said.

Zhou Chongming's spirits lifted.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "He might not be as strong as we imagined because he just arrived... The sect leader has asked four elders from within the sect, plus my Jade Heaven Sword, that should be enough."

Zhou Chongming slowly said, "Killing one evil lord is worth more than killing countless demons. This is the true way to eradicate the source of evil!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Zhou Chongming said, "As for this matter, ... it's best to talk to them personally. This is a very important matter, and it's not enough for me to speak alone."

"Yes." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He appeared before the four masters with Zhou Chongming, and greeted them with clasped hands.

Li Xinhe from the Fuyun Sect and Lu Gengshen from the Guiyang Sword Sect were both acquainted with Chu Zhiyuan.

They laughed and joked with Chu Zhiyuan, teasing him for being sneaky and not being open and aboveboard.

Chu Zhiyuan is now quite famous within the four sects and has a bright future, so naturally everyone wants to build a good relationship with him.

Qi Qingmei from the Moon Palace frowned slightly, a hint of resentment in her voice: "Junior Brother Chu, you..."

"Senior Sister Qi, please don't be offended..." Chu Zhiyuan quickly apologized with a smile, and then told her about his discovery.

Qi Qingmei's face immediately darkened: "Now that we have discovered the lair of the evil forces, we must destroy it, just like we destroyed the lair of the Ten Thousand Blood Sect last time."

"Exactly."

"Correct."

The experts from the other two sects agreed.

The last time they destroyed the Blood Sect's stronghold, it was only a joint effort by the two sects, which made them quite dissatisfied.

Now that we've found the demon's lair again, we absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip by.

"We can just go straight there; there's no need to rush to the capital."

Lu Gengshen of the Guiyang Sword Sect was anxious and wished he could make a move immediately.

Li Xinhe of the Fuyun Sect laughed and said, "I was just worried about not having a good opportunity to kill demons again, and now the opportunity has come!"

Zhou Chongming then offered a few explanations.

He first spoke of the arrival of the Evil Lord, and then explained the Heavenly Sword Sect's plan: his group would act as the vanguard, and the Heavenly Sword Sect would send more experts to assist them.

Chu Zhiyuan then recounted in detail what he had seen earlier, including how the Evil Lord dealt with the Undying Evil Lord statue and how he planned to build a blood pool.

These words drew Lu Gengshen's displeasure.

Lu Gengshen felt that it was not enough to only send out the Heavenly Sword Sect's esteemed experts; the other three sects should also send out their experts.

We should be lenient with our enemies. What if this evil lord is ridiculously strong, or hiding his true strength, or has a trump card that they can't even imagine?
Offerings to highly skilled individuals should not be damaged.

Even Qi Qingmei advocated sending out some more skilled worshippers.

Zhou Chongming had no choice but to inform the sect leader.

This matter can be postponed, but we must set off for the Giant Spirit Sect's lair immediately.

First, stop them from building the blood pool.

They hurried on their way, carrying the map drawn by Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan went ahead of him.
