The people of the primordial era ruled the heavens and earth.

"I see. May I ask, Fellow Daoist Pingxin and Fellow Daoist Houtu, is there anything else you have to say?"

"The Lord did not give me any instructions, but only granted me the power to control reincarnation."

"Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Qin Tian, ​​the Earthly Scripture and the Earthly Book complement each other perfectly. If Hongjun reappears, Pingxin can protect you."

"Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist Pingxin."

"Fellow Daoists of Fengdu and Styx, have you said when you will emerge from seclusion?"

Like Houtu and Qin Tian, ​​after the two went into seclusion, the Master of the Styx River also followed suit and went into seclusion to comprehend the sacred path.

The affairs of the underworld and the Asura Cult are all handled by Fengdu.

"The Venerable One said that he would emerge from seclusion a thousand years from now to preach."

Upon hearing Fengdu's reply, Qin Tian nodded and bowed respectfully to Fengdu and Pingxin.

"With these two fellow Daoists here, it will be difficult for the Underworld to be thrown into chaos again."

"I haven't been back to my clan for a long time, so I won't bother you two any longer."

"See you a thousand years from now."

……

Human race, ancient tribe.

Qin Feng, Qin Yue, Qin Ze, Qin Kun, Qin Ming, Qin Yu, Qin Shi, and Qin Qiong—eight humans whose physiques were transformed through Qin Tian's merits—gathered together.

"Second brother, is there still no news from eldest brother?"

"No." Qin Feng shook his head, a worried look on his face. "If my elder brother were here, upon hearing of this, he would surely have already returned to the clan."

"Brother Feng, you don't need to worry too much. Our friends from the Wu Clan have already agreed to help us investigate."

"I think we'll hear from them soon," Qin Yue said softly, not wanting Qin Feng to bear all the pressure on his shoulders.

"Third sister, the witch clan isn't any better."

"We can't rely on them entirely. Over the years, we've had quite a few conflicts with them because of meat."

"If it weren't for my elder brother's reputation keeping us in check, we would probably already be fighting them by now."

"Ninth Brother, are you sure you mean it?"

"How come I've never heard you mention this before?"

"Second brother, how can I explain something like this?"

"You think I acquired this level of cultivation from fighting the Witch Clan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Qiong no longer concealed his aura, exuding imperial might.

Upon returning from the underworld, Qin Tian sensed this fluctuation and couldn't help but smile.

In an instant, following the aura, he arrived in front of Qin Feng and the others.

Upon seeing Qin Tian appear, Qin Feng, Qin Qiong, and the others were overjoyed and immediately called out, "Big Brother!"

Qin Tian nodded, then looked at Qin Qiong and praised, "Ninth Brother, you're not bad."

"So many brothers are stuck at the peak of the Great Sage realm, but you have found your own path and successfully broken through."

"These are some of my insights into the Overlord Body Divine Form. I hope you will continue your efforts and attain enlightenment soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Tian pointed his finger and transmitted to Qin Qiong the insights that Emperor Ye had gained about the various divine forms of the Azure Heaven Overlord Body from his memory.

Qin Qiong's primordial spirit trembled, and he immediately entered a state of enlightenment, which made Qin Feng, Qin Yue and others extremely envious.

"Don't be envious. In the future, whichever of you breaks through, I will grant him an opportunity."

"Thank you, elder brother." Everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they said in unison.

Qin Tian smiled and shook his head, then asked, "Second Brother, how is the clan developing recently? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

"Brother, we were just discussing this matter."

"In the past ten years, members of the tribe who went out to hunt and kill meat have often disappeared without a trace."

"We suspect that someone is secretly targeting our tribe."

Qin Tian's face showed anger. His first thought was that it must have been those two birds from the demon race who did it.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that was probably impossible.

Di Jun and Taiyi wouldn't be so brainless. The events of that day, when they snatched the Red Cloud, when the Styx confronted Nuwa, and when Houtu confronted the Dao Ancestor, are still fresh in our minds.

In addition, he himself also made a strong impression at Wuzhuang Temple.

As long as those two birds aren't stupid enough to court death, they absolutely won't mess with me.

But aside from them, who else would have this motive?

The Witch Clan? Impossible.

Although the two tribes are geographically close and friction is inevitable, the Wu tribe would not do such a thing.

Zhen Yuanzi. Hongyun.

That's impossible; both of them are probably still injured.

Hongyun, in particular, had his primordial spirit torn apart by his own actions, and it would be absolutely difficult for him to recover without tens of thousands of years of painstaking effort.

But who else could it be besides these people?

Could it be one of the other powerful beings who heard the Dao at Zixiao Palace?

Thinking of this, Qin Tian's expression turned serious, and he looked at Qin Feng and asked, "Second Brother, our clansmen have disappeared without a trace. Did they leave any clues?"

Qin Feng lowered his head in shame: "No, we searched carefully and didn't find a single trace."

"Snapped!"

Qin Tian slammed his hand on the stone table in front of him and shouted, "Erlang, how do you manage the tribe?"

"Our clansmen have disappeared without a trace. Such a big thing, and there isn't even a single clue."

"I think you're taking it too easy. From today onwards, you will personally lead the hunting expedition."

"I'd like to see who's so blind as to dare lay a hand on my people."

"Yes, elder brother."

After lecturing Qin Feng, Qin Tian looked at Qin Yue and the others.

"How are things going with your tribe? Nothing bad has happened, has anything?"

Qin Feng, Qin Shi, and the others exchanged glances, some hesitant to respond to Qin Tian's words.

Finally, Qin Yue stepped forward and said, "Eldest brother, our situation is not much different from second brother's."

"But at first, only a few disappeared, so we didn't pay much attention to it."

"That's why we've gathered here, hoping to find a good way to resolve this matter."

Qin Tian nodded and didn't get angry again.

He suddenly realized that Qin Feng couldn't be entirely blamed for this.

The human tribes of today are unprecedentedly large, with each tribe having at least hundreds of millions of members.

It's impossible to handle everything.

After pondering for a while, Qin Tian decided to go and see for himself.

So he said, "Erlang, tell me about it."

"I want to go and see for myself where the last members of my tribe were last seen, and where they were located."

Without hesitation, Qin Feng listed the locations one by one.

After listening, Qin Tian gave Qin Feng and the others a few instructions, telling them to go back to their homes and leave everything as it was before heading to the place Qin Feng had mentioned.

In an unnamed forest, Qin Tian's eyes blazed with an almost tangible fire as he looked at the weapons scattered on the ground.

After looking around, Qin Tian didn't find anything suspicious.

This left him extremely puzzled.

How is that possible? It's impossible that not a single trace was left.

Could it be someone I know?

No, that's impossible.

No one would be foolish enough to go against themselves.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian frowned, his face filled with melancholy.

After looking around again from the spot.

Qin Tian wasted no time and headed towards another location.

Three days later, Qin Tian, ​​having thoroughly explored all the areas, still hadn't found any important clues.

However, he discovered something very strange.

...
