However, Li Changqing still discovered the problem.

Within the body of the Seventh Elder, the life force was suddenly severed, as if his very lifespan had been extracted.

And because the lifespan was extracted too quickly, the body didn’t even have time to react, nor did it age.

"How exactly was it done?" Li Changqing found it somewhat unbelievable. What on earth could instantly cut off the life force of a strong practitioner at the Innate Perfection level?

"What’s ahead?" Li Changqing looked forward.

"Ahead is the Medicine King Pavilion, where the Pavilion Master resides, and behind it is the forbidden zone of the Medical King Valley, which houses the Medicineless Ancient Cave that only the Valley Master is qualified to enter," Yin Changli explained to Li Changqing.

"Medicineless Ancient Cave?"

Upon hearing this name, Li Changqing recalled that the Medicineless Ancient Cave was the forbidden zone of the Medical King Valley, a place even Mu Qingge had no right to enter. But Mu Qingge had seen that young man there as a child, who was the head of the Longevity Sect.

If that’s the case, perhaps some clues could be found in the Medicineless Ancient Cave.

"Let’s go, take a look," Li Changqing said to Yin Changli.

"Oh, okay." Yin Changli nodded, sticking closely behind Li Changqing, following him fearfully.

Upon arriving at the Medicine King Pavilion, they found corpses strewn all over the place.

The once grand floor of the Medicine King Pavilion was now littered with countless bodies. Their deaths resembled the Seventh Elder’s, with no wounds, but their life force completely severed.

The scene was chaotic, making the Medicine King Pavilion look as though it had been plundered, with chairs and tables all collapsed.

Things were scattered everywhere.

And from the scene, it looked like there had been signs of a battle here.

It seemed a fierce battle had taken place here. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The disciples of the Medical King Valley didn’t know what they were fighting against.

Seeing his once familiar senior and junior brothers lying all over the ground, Yin Changli’s feelings were extremely mixed.

Only a few days had passed, but upon their next meeting, they were already separated by life and death.

Li Changqing sighed lightly at the sight of so many corpses. He recognized some of the disciples present.

During the Ghostly Realm trial, Li Changqing had met them; they had also participated in the Ghostly Realm trial.

But now all of them died here.

"Let’s go, check out the Medicineless Ancient Cave."

Li Changqing’s voice was icy cold, determined to find out what had happened.

But Li Changqing could deduce, even without much thought, that this incident couldn’t be unrelated to the Longevity Sect.

Besides the Longevity Sect, who else could commit such a heinous act?

As they walked from the Medicine King Pavilion toward the Medicineless Ancient Cave in the back mountain, they saw countless more bodies along the way, all of whom were disciples of the Medical King Valley.

The sight was truly shocking.

"Stay behind me and be careful," Li Changqing cautioned Yin Changli, as even he wasn’t sure whether the entity capable of instantly severing life was still around.

If it was, then caution was imperative.

"Oh, okay."

No need to say more, Yin Changli also knew staying behind Li Changqing was the best course of action.

The path was riddled with bodies, all sharing the same death condition. Not only the disciples of the Medical King Valley but some of the other elders too.

Finally, when the two reached the entrance of a cave deep within the Divine Mountain, the bodies seemed to lead further into the cave.

Inside the cave, who knew how many more skeletal remains lay.

Li Changqing and Yin Changli entered it.

When they saw the situation within the cave, they were genuinely shocked by the scene before them.

The entire Medicineless Ancient Cave was hardly small, a large, wide-open space, but at the moment it was piled high with corpses.

Previously, they thought there were already a lot of bodies outside, but when comparing to the inside of the Medicineless Ancient Cave, it was nothing.

There were so many bodies here it was almost impossible to find a place to step.

And in this Medicineless Ancient Cave, several Luminous Pearls hung from the ceiling, illuminating the cave clearly.

The treasures and such that were supposed to be in the Medicineless Ancient Cave were nowhere to be seen, with surrounding shelves all toppled over.

The sight of these disciples’ bodies stretched into the distance with no end in sight.

"Could it be that everyone in Medical King Valley died here?" Yin Changli’s face was extremely grim at this moment.

What sort of person could be so cruel as to eradicate the entire Medical King Valley!

Li Changqing remained silent, but witnessing such a ruthless scene, his hatred for the Longevity Sect intensified more than ever!

From now on, encountering anyone from the Longevity Sect meant only one thing!

Kill!

Kill those inhumane beasts!

"It seems everyone was called into the Medicineless Ancient Cave," Li Changqing analyzed, "and they were killed inside. Those bodies found outside had tried to escape from the cave but unfortunately met their demise on the way out."

"The Seventh Elder was the furthest runner, yet he still died on Medicine King Peak."

Li Changqing said to Yin Changli.

"I suppose so." Yin Changli couldn’t think of any other explanation.

The two continued deeper into the Medicineless Ancient Cave. The cave had been completely looted, leaving nothing behind.

Upon reaching the deepest part of the Medicineless Ancient Cave, they finally witnessed a shocking scene.

There they found signs of someone living there long-term.

And there was even a cage there.
