"You, what do you mean by this?!"

"Could it be that Lord Heavenly Phoenix really died at your hands?!"

Jiang Shu did not respond to his shocked question. Ignoring him, as his thoughts moved, the Great Dao above his head instantly erupted with overwhelming momentum, surging wildly.

Attracted by this Qi Mechanism, Heaven and Earth Primordial Power converged from all directions. A Big Handprint infused with an endless desolate aura instantly formed, pressing down heavily towards Blood Rob Daoist Monarch!

Five Emperors Annihilation Seal!

"Boom!"

A deep, resounding explosion erupted. With just one palm strike, the Primordial Power surging around Blood Rob Daoist Monarch was entirely shattered.

The Annihilation Seal heavily struck his chest, its internal Power of Great Dao pouring out completely. The Primordial Power flowing around Blood Rob Daoist Monarch's body failed to provide any defense and was easily penetrated!

The vast force surged into his body, and a series of crackling sounds emitted from Blood Rob's entire body, thick blood oozed from his pores, his body hit by the tremendous impact could no longer maintain balance, falling heavily from the sky into the peaks below!

Thump!

The summit of the steep peak was hit, creating a deep, massive pit, dust immediately rising in clouds, the collapsed figure of Blood Rob Daoist Monarch hidden within, his breath nearly imperceptible. If not for the pitiful sound of coughing blood from within the dust, it would almost make everyone present think he had been crushed and killed by Jiang Shu's Divine Skills.

Of course, this was indeed a result of Jiang Shu's deliberate holding back.

Otherwise, Blood Rob Daoist Monarch's fate would have been the same as what happened to Daoist Monarch Black Soul earlier, life severed under the Annihilation Seal, perishing on the spot.

Having temporarily subdued this person, Jiang Shu wasn't eager to drag him out, instead, his gaze shifted calmly towards several True Inheritors of Demon Sect who had been completely stunned in the distance.

From the moment he appeared to now severely injuring Blood Rob Daoist Monarch in mere tens of breaths, those True Inheritors of Demon Sect were only now reacting, wanting to turn and flee, but they were instantly enveloped by a wave of killing intent from the spirit.

An infinite cold sensation crept up their spines, their bodies stiffened, pupils rapidly constricting, horror and fear evident.

Especially when they noticed the trace of indifference in Jiang Shu's eyes, those True Inheritors of Demon Sect felt completely panicked and terrified!

"Where is Qiu Taoguang now?"

Coldly staring at them, Jiang Shu didn't waste any words, directly asking the most crucial question.

Earlier, he learned from Lu Chong that Qiu Taoguang's strength had skyrocketed, nearly becoming the strongest Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm within these Ancient Demon Sect Relics.

Given this, Jiang Shu naturally wouldn't let him continue to be arrogant.

Having already failed twice to kill Qiu Taoguang, now was the time to end this.

Upon hearing the question, the few True Inheritors of Demon Sect shuddered, their eyes flickering wildly, yet none could immediately speak.

"What is it, don't know, or don't want to say?"

Seeing this situation, Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow, his eyes glinting brightly, as he flicked his fingers, a brilliant lightning suddenly appeared and shot forth.

Hiss!

A terrifying burst of electric power, a Demon Sect True Inheritor under such destructive force couldn't even let out a cry before being directly blasted into a charred fragment, dissolving with the wind.

Dealing with these ruthless and venomous Demon Sect people, Jiang Shu felt no psychological burden, decisively executing one to serve as a warning!

Sure enough, seeing him act swiftly and kill one of their fellow disciples, the remaining True Inheritors of Demon Sect had their terrified gazes fixed, bodies involuntarily trembling like chaff.

As Jiang Shu's gaze fell upon them again, one of them, pale-faced, hurriedly shouted:

"I'll speak!"

"Qiu... Daoist Monarch Qiu personally led people to hunt down Dao Yi Sect's Zong Yue earlier, but now we really don't know his whereabouts!"

The words were short and hurried, fearing any delay would cause this mighty Jiang Shu to become displeased, raising his hand to kill him.

"Chasing Zong Yue?"

Upon hearing this, before Jiang Shu could react, Lu Chong and others already furrowed their brows, worry appearing on their faces.

With Zong Yue's current strength, he is completely no match for Qiu Taoguang, if caught, he would face grave danger.

Though the Eight Great Sects often have mutual friction and competition, they have always united against external enemies, sharing glory and loss equally, Lu Chong naturally didn't want to see Zong Yue die at Qiu Taoguang's hands.

Moreover, he considered matters deeper, venturing into the Demon Sect relics this time, apart from their True Martial Sect's few severely injured individuals, other sects' True Disciples and Elders suffered significant losses, with many casualties even.

Although he felt no guilt, upon returning if other sects' Daoist Venerables discover such distinctive differences, it will certainly raise suspicions, possibly making it difficult for True Martial Sect to explain.

Therefore, he needed Zong Yue, the nominal leader of the Eight Great Sects' team, the most influential True Disciple, alive. Should the scenario envisioned by Lu Chong occur, Zong Yue could testify to dispel doubts from other sects.

With this thought, Lu Chong immediately turned his head, casting a meaningful glance towards Jiang Shu.

Noticing his eye gesture, Jiang Shu's thoughts flickered, and he immediately realized this point, nodding imperceptibly.

Then, lowering his eyes, he looked towards the dust-filled summit below.

Sleeve waving, gusts swept, thick dust was shaken apart, revealing the scene once more in everyone's view.

The collapsed figure of Blood Rob Daoist Monarch lay head-first in the center of the pit, clothes in tatters, exposed skin covered in wounds of varying depth, hot blood incessantly seeping out, almost painting him entirely into a blood figure, soaking in the thick pool of blood.

Originally possessing the majestic aura of Vientiane Realm, now nearly imperceptible. If not for his chest still rising and falling slowly, it would almost make one think he had completely perished, dead.

"Fortunately, I let him breathe a little earlier."

Softly mumbling, Jiang Shu floated down like a leaf, landing on the summit, and stepped forward to the edge of the pit.

The question posed to those True Inheritors of Demon Sect earlier was once again directed towards Blood Rob Daoist Monarch.

"Huff, huff..."

Blood Rob Daoist Monarch gasped heavily, yet remained stubborn before Jiang Shu, not only refusing to answer but also slowly forming a mad smile on his blood-stained face, harshly speaking:

"Cough, cough, Jiang, Jiang Taixuan, don't think that having entered the Vientiane Realm, you can lead the Eight Great Sects to overturn the situation. As soon as our sect's Daoist Monarch Qiu arrives, he will surely make you all die without a trace to avenge me!"

Seeing his stubborn attitude, Jiang Shu couldn't help but sigh slightly, shaking his head, kneeling down slowly, deep resolution flickered in his eyes, reaching his right hand, covering Blood Rob Daoist Monarch's forehead.

Divine Soul Power abruptly activated.

Soul Search!

Dominant spiritual power instantly tore into the Sea of Consciousness, intruding forcibly, Blood Rob Daoist Monarch's eyes bulged out, seeming to burst from their sockets, his body mindlessly trembling violently.

The pain generated from the Divine Soul, even a Daoist Monarch of Vientiane Realm couldn't endure. Initially, Jiang Shu intended to give him a swift end but unfortunately, he didn't seem to cherish such an opportunity.

Until a few breaths later, Blood Rob Daoist Monarch's violently kicking legs froze, his entire body collapsed, pupils expanded pallid, breath completely terminated.

Jiang Shu withdrew his hand, his eyes flashed with brilliance. Rising, looking over to Lu Chong nearby, he spoke solemnly:

"Qiu Taoguang contacted this person half a day ago, stating that he discovered Zong Yue's hiding place in the southeastern part of these Demon Sect relics."

"The Communication Jade Token vaguely mentioned a traitor appeared next to Zong Yue, secretly siding with Demon Sect, which led to his trails being exposed."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chong's heart skipped a beat, his expression becoming heavy.

Among the True Disciples and Elders of the Eight Great Sects, a traitor appeared, truly an unforeseen possibility for him.

Consequently, with both internal and external betrayal, Zong Yue's current situation should be extremely perilous.
