716 Secret After hearing Ye Qiu’s explanation, Bai Junlin came to a realization and nodded. “I see! In that case, Big Brother went down the mountain this time for the Fire Nation.” After pondering for a long time, Bai Junlin slowed down and continued, “I have some understanding of this matter.” As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qiu instantly looked over. Yaya also looked over curiously. They had just left the mountain and were not very clear about the current situation in the Fire Nation. They only knew that many unfamiliar faces had appeared on this once destroyed battlefield ruin. Many of these people were disciples of the various large families in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, as well as some young geniuses from immortal holy lands. It could be said that there were all kinds of people. It was impossible to tell who was here to help and who was here to cause trouble. Moreover, Ye Qiu had speculated from the beginning that these people were all people who didn’t get up early without benefits. There must be some great benefits to be able to make them come in such a big group. It was very useful to them. Every time there was chaos, there would be an immortal encounter! This had almost become a pattern. Therefore, Ye Qiu deduced that things weren’t that simple. “Let’s see. What do you think?” Ye Qiu asked. He wanted to hear Bai Junlin’s thoughts and see if he could obtain any useful information. After obtaining Ye Qiu’s permission, Bai Junlin immediately said, “Big Brother, this matter happened about three months ago. That day, I was comprehending the Dao in the Dream Clouds Mountain. At dawn, I suddenly felt a very evil aura appear in the southeast. “This aura is extremely evil. All these years, I’ve passed through many forbidden areas, but I’ve never seen such a terrifying aura. In less than an hour, a million miles of the Fire Nation was ignited. “At that time, I thought that someone was competing and didn’t take it to heart. But when I realized that the situation was wrong, it was too late. I still vaguely remember the scene I saw when I rushed to the center of the fire. That scene… I’m afraid I’ll never forget it in my life.” “What a scene!” As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qiu’s expression instantly became serious, and his gaze was incomparably cold. Bai Junlin’s heart trembled. He still had lingering fear when he thought of the scene back then. “Phew,” Taking a deep breath, Bai Junlin said, “What I see is a mass grave with rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. Those innocent people who died were sucked dry of their blood essence. They were covered in bones and had incomparably painful expressions as they lay in mountains of corpses and seas of blood. “I can imagine how desperate they were the moment before they died. That oppressive feeling is indescribable. Even I, who is knowledgeable, can’t help but feel nauseous after seeing that scene for the first time. The stench that filled the sky could not be covered by a fire.” Ye Qiu fell into deep thought as he listened to Bai Junlin speak. He had most likely imagined that scene from Bai Junlin’s descriptions and details. “Drained of blood essence?” Ye Qiu muttered to himself thoughtfully. When Yaya heard this, her face turned incomparably pale. She looked at her master and felt incomparably tormented because those who had died were all innocent citizens of her Fire Nation. Yaya found it difficult to accept such a thing. When she thought of how her father was seriously injured and was still recuperating in the palace, she felt even more worried and afraid. “Master, what should we do now?” She no longer had her propriety. After all, it was difficult for her to withstand such a mental impact at her age. Not to mention her, even Bai Junlin was shocked. Ye Qiu could understand this feeling. He comforted her and said, “I know what I’m doing. It’ll be fine.” After saying that, Ye Qiu fell into deep thought. He looked up at the entire wasteland. He could already determine that from the tragic situation that Bai Junlin had just described, the only thing in this world that could do this and match this habit was the demon seed. Yes! The demon seed was back… Ye Qiu was almost certain that the expelled demon seeds had returned with the anger of revenge. Thinking of this, his expression was very ugly because he had fought with the demon seed before and knew how terrifying they were. They originally had astonishing regenerative abilities. Coupled with that terrifying devouring ability, their growth speed was extremely terrifying. In the previous chaos, almost millions of people had died in the Fire Nation’s domain. This was not a small number. If all the blood essence was gathered on a person, it would definitely be an incomparably terrifying colossus. For a moment, the pressure suddenly assaulted him. Ye Qiu had never felt such a sense of danger. “Phew… Looks like I have to get serious this time.” Ye Qiu took a deep breath and exhaled. His eyes became solemn. He knew very well that this was definitely not a coincidence since the demon seed could unknowingly enter the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands without alerting anyone. Someone had secretly planned and helped. Once this matter was investigated thoroughly, more people would definitely be involved. Moreover, they would definitely be able to find a huge monster. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺 Things seemed to have become more and more exciting! Ye Qiu really didn’t dare to think about what kind of terrifying existence was hidden behind all these secrets. He wondered if the old man could withstand it. Before leaving the mountain, Ye Qiu received the old man’s signal to investigate. But now, Ye Qiu hesitated. Seeing that Ye Qiu was silent, Bai Junlin watched silently. He knew that his brother was thinking about something and didn’t disturb him. After an unknown period of time, Patriarch Bai Ze, who had been silent, spoke. “Young friend Ye Qiu, instead of thinking here, why don’t you enter the Fire Domain to take a look? Perhaps… the Fire Sovereign can answer the doubts in your heart.” This suggestion reminded Ye Qiu. That’s right, he was originally going to visit the Fire Sovereign. Now, he could use this opportunity to ask him for some information. “Thank you for your reminder, Senior. I’ll go now.” Ye Qiu cupped his hands in thanks and prepared to leave. Bai Junlin hesitated for a moment and turned around to look at his father. His father did not stop him and let him make his own decisions. Bai Junlin was delighted and hurriedly said, “Big Brother, I’ll go with you.” “Hmm? Kid, you have to think carefully. The karma involved is huge. No one wants to be involved. Don’t be stupid.” Ye Qiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to dissuade him, but he didn’t expect him to slap his chest and say very loyally, “Big Brother, what are you saying? You gave me my life. I don’t care if it’s a mountain of blades or a sea of flames. I only know that I’ll hit whoever Big Brother wants me to hit, no matter what kind of monster he is.” Hearing this, Ye Qiu immediately smiled. He didn’t save this underling for nothing. If there was anything, he would really help. Good, good…
