One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

He stared intently at the entrance to a valley ahead, his burly body involuntarily tensing up.

"What's wrong, Brother Kun?"

Guan Shihua stepped forward with her cane, but before she could finish speaking, her old face suddenly changed color.

"The smell of blood..."

Xiao Zizai always walked in the middle of the group, quietly acting as if he were invisible.

The moment he smelled the aroma, he pushed up his glasses.

A terrifying fanaticism suddenly erupted from those originally gentle eyes.

"Something's up, let's go check it out."

The old celestial master frowned slightly, then with a wave of his sleeve, a golden light cleaved the snow and wind in front of him, creating a wide road.

The group quickened their pace and rushed into the valley covered by wind and snow.

When they saw the scene inside the valley, everyone held their breath.

tragic.

This valley is filled with the marks of battle.

The ancient trees all around were broken or snapped, and some of the trunks even had sap that had been corroded by highly toxic substances still on them.

But none of that is the most worrying thing.

In the middle of the valley, on the snow that had been dyed dark red.

Several enormous monster corpses lay scattered about.

Those were three gray-furred rats, each the size of a calf, and two black-scaled snakes, each as thick as a water bucket!

They died a terrible death.

The head of a gray fairy was smashed directly into its chest cavity, and fragments of broken bones mixed with internal organs were scattered all over the ground.

The two large black-scaled snakes were nailed alive to the rock walls on either side!

Their snakeskins were cruelly peeled off from their seventh inch, leaving them bloody and mangled.

Some green flames were still burning at the wound site.

"Seventh Brother!!!"

Upon seeing the two black snakes nailed to the stone wall, Liu Kunsheng let out a shrill roar of anger.

That's the patrol elder of the Liu family stationed in the inner mountain!

In the Changbai Mountains, someone actually dared to so cruelly kill a great immortal of the Liu family?!

"boom!!!"

Liu Kunsheng completely lost his mind.

His black trench coat instantly shattered.

An extremely terrifying black demonic aura erupted from his body!

Fine black scales even appeared on his face, and fangs protruded from his mouth:

"Beasts!!! It's those Japanese Onmyoji!! I'll tear them to pieces!!!"

Liu Kunsheng roared, about to transform into his true form and rush into the depths of the valley.

Just as he was about to go berserk and go berserk.

"Snapped."

A thin, bony hand landed lightly on Liu Kunsheng's shoulder.

But it was this one press.

Liu Kunsheng's terrifying demonic energy, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, was instantly forced back into his body!

The old master stood beside Liu Kunsheng, his face ashen.

"Benefactor Liu, calm your mind."

The old Celestial Master's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear:

"Anger won't solve anything; it will only make you someone else's prey."

"Look at this scene. The other party's methods are insidious. They clearly left these corpses on purpose, just waiting for you immortals to lose your minds and walk into their trap."

"You can't even see through this simple provocation? Have all your centuries of cultivation gone to waste?"

Startled by the old master's sudden rebuke, Liu Kunsheng was shaken.

He was breathing heavily, clenching his teeth tightly.

Although he desperately wanted to kill someone right then and there, he ultimately suppressed his urges and painfully lowered his head.

"Yes... I lost my composure. Thank you for reminding me, Master."

Seeing that Liu Kunsheng had calmed down, Zhang Chulan dared to step forward.

He looked at the snow valley, which resembled a battlefield, scratched his head, and said with a solemn expression:

"Guys, this scene is a complete mess! There are craters everywhere, and this fire..."

"What kind of tactics do these people use? How did they manage to bypass those hedgehog-like checkpoints on the outskirts?"

"The footprints were covered by the wind and snow, so we can't tell which way they ran."

Just as Zhang Chulan, Wang Ye, and the others were at a loss, trying to find some clues from the chaotic scene.

"Chu Lan, move aside."

A gentle yet chilling voice rang out.

Xiao Zizai slowly took off his leather gloves, folded them neatly, and put them in his pocket.

He walked slowly to the black snake that was nailed to the stone wall.

At this moment, Brother Xiao's face was full of focus.

She even had a dreamy smile on her face.

“You normal people only see destruction.”

Xiao Zizai stretched out his finger and, without any hesitation, touched the burning flames on the black snake's wound.

"But I... am looking at art."

The entire room fell silent.

Even Liu Kunsheng was stunned, staring at this refined-looking man with glasses.

Xiao Zizai closed his eyes and gently ran his fingers along the edge of the black snake's peeled flesh.

"The blade was extremely smooth, without the slightest hesitation. This indicates that the opponent used a very thin and very fast blade, and that the blade was coated with a very strong armor-piercing aura."

"This is called 'cutting.' It's about making the prey feel the most extreme pain while they're still alive, so as to extract their resentment in that instant."

Xiao Zizai opened his eyes, his gaze sparkling with the excitement of encountering a kindred spirit:

"She's a master with short blades, and... a psychopathic woman. Her swordsmanship has a subtle yet ruthless edge."

Then, Xiao Zizai walked up to the Gray Fairy whose head had been smashed into its chest cavity.

He crouched down, dipped his finger in a bit of the scraps of meat on the ground, and smelled it.

"The bombardment area is large, and the power is dispersed and violent. It's not magic; it's pure physical crushing."

"But mixed in with this physical power is a very strange... medicinal smell."

Xiao Zizai provided a precise diagnosis:

"This is a beast-like power generated through some kind of genetic modification or alchemical potion. The person who made the move must be a gigantic Westerner."

Finally, Xiao Zizai stood up, looked around the entire valley, and took a deep breath:

"As for how those people managed to bypass the checkpoints..."

He pointed to several barely noticeable black rune marks on the snow:

"This eerie green fire is the Onmyoji's 'Shikigami Foxfire.' This kind of fire doesn't burn the body, but only the soul. They must have used a special illusion and barrier to directly block the senses of those hedgehogs."

After he finished speaking, everyone in the room was stunned.

Is this guy a forensic doctor or a criminal investigation expert?!

Just by looking at a few corpses, they can analyze everything clearly, including what weapons the perpetrators used, whether they were male or female, and even their psychological state and nationality!

Zhang Chulan swallowed hard and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Xiao... your perspective is really... torture."

"Amitabha."

Xiao Zizai clasped his hands together and a bright smile appeared on his face.

He licked his lips, his eyes fixed on the depths of the valley:

"Old Celestial Master, Celestial Pivot True Man."

"The quality of this batch of prey is...extremely high."

"My knife... is itching for a bite."

Sitting in the sedan chair, Zhang Tianyi couldn't help but laugh at Xiao Zi's abnormal outburst.

"Not bad, Xiao Xiao, your analytical skills are even better than a dog's nose."

Zhang Tianyi stretched lazily and casually turned the leftover bones into ashes.

He looked into the depths of the valley and let out a cold laugh.

"Western alchemists? Eastern Onmyoji?"

"What a well-rounded tour group!"

Zhang Tianyi snorted coldly, his tone filled with disdain and contempt:

"Xiao just mentioned that they use foxfire and barriers."

"Chu Lan, Xiao Wang, do you know what this is?"
