Realms In The Firmament

“As long as they have time, they will cut off the heads of the victims. The rest of the bodies will be drained out… I think they are doing some secret technique, which can extract the essence of a person’s soul and body.”

Everybody was quietly listening to Xuan Bing.

Even Xue Danru was listening intently.

They all paid extra attention to Xuan Bing simply because she had been a supreme cultivator in the world for a long time, and she was hardly wrong in making a conclusion.

That was why when Xuan Bing said the seven men in black didn’t tell her anything, the others were all shocked. Nobody doubted that Xuan Bing’s torturing method wasn’t pushing enough. Also, nobody would doubt that Xuan Bing would make a wrong conclusion to the situation!

“The organization moves fast. They should at least have collected hundreds of thousands of pieces of life essence of the cultivators.”

Xuan Bing took a breath and said, “It is not a joke. Base on what we have learned now, I guess they are doing this vile technique for some evil ceremony, or some vile martial art… They need the essence of people’s souls…”

“Otherwise, they wouldn’t need to collect such things from living people.” Xuan Bing drew a conclusion, “If they want to conquer the world, to be king, they don’t need to spend much time on this and do things in such extreme methods! Killing will only be responded with stronger resistance…”

“After all, there are a lot of people who are afraid of death. To recruit these people should be easy,” Xuan Bing coldly said as she glanced at the people who represented the nine groups.

Their faces turned pale when Xuan Bing looked over their faces.

She was telling the truth.

Most of the people in Qing-Yun Realm were ready to give in if the organization wanted to recruit them.

“Besides, I guess they need not only the life essence, but also the heads.” Xuan Bing blandly said, “Perhaps they need the two things for two different purposes, or they need them both for one purpose. I think they need the life essence and heads for some evil business.”

Ye Xiao nodded. He was gloomy and solemn.

Xuan Bing was speaking out the words in his mind.

In fact, what Xuan Bing just said had completed Ye Xiao’s conjecture of the organization’s purpose!

He was confused about why the men in black had to kill in an extreme method. The secret organization didn’t have a reason to go extreme on the killing. In the previous few times, they would clean up the traces after they killed somebody. After they wiped out a clan, they would clean the clan thoroughly so that nobody knew that they had cut off people’s heads and extracted people’s life essence. Now, Xuan Bing gave an answer to everything!

The organization wanted something evil!

Xuan Bing didn’t say more after the conclusion because she wanted everybody else to have time to think deeply about it.

The others all lowered their heads, lost in their own thoughts, thinking about what she just said. The more they thought about it, the more terrified they were.

How vicious was the organization to behead people and extract the life essence?

Nobody was ever evil like that in the history of Qing-Yun Realm!

“The information Elder Xuan Bing just shared with us is important. Now, we draw out the purpose of the secret organization. What we need to do now is not to kill them, but to find out where they are. We have to stick on a plan and proceed with it. If we alert them too early, they may separate away, and we will never have the peace in the future.”

Ye Xiao concluded, “Before we find their base, we have to stay alive first. Stay alive, so that we can have the chance to destroy them.”

“I mean…” Ye Xiao said, “First of all, we, sects, forces, independent cultivators, have to connect to each other well. We better connect to each other every day and tell everybody we are okay. Second, great sects or independent cultivators are all the same. We must settle as close as we can to the center of the realm. Let’s stay together so that the organization can’t break us one by one.

“Be alert, stay cautious. Gradually, we move to the same place and stay together… The huge net of ourselves will become a fist, which will strike out someday!

“Third, the superior ones, who are good at moving skills, move faster than others, have to go out and try to find out where the men in black are hiding. Make sure ourselves are safe first.”

Ye Xiao said, “For now, we don’t have any better plan. Just to stay alarmed and wait for the day to claim victory.”

“As long as we work hard, we will find them.” Ye Xiao blandly said, “One more thing, we must not be negative in the future. Don’t overestimate the enemy. We know they only want to kill. They have to kill… Most importantly, I feel that they need the heads and life essence from superior cultivators. They need to kill a lot of superior cultivators. Otherwise, they won’t move so frequently…”

The others were all spirited up.

“Although they have shown their power in the massacres, it also revealed their weakness. They need to kill too many superior cultivators. However, after we stay together, they won’t be able to get as many as they need. Perhaps there are some superior cultivators outside, but the organization won’t get enough lives.”

Ye Xiao seemed sure. “At last, before we go for the organization, the organization will come to us to fill their need. Maybe that is the last battle of the war.”

The others all nodded to agree.

“However, now, I have one thing that I have to tell you…” Ye Xiao took a deep breath and said, “A huge organization like that have been acting secretly all the time… I don’t think it is magic.”

“The organization must be powerful enough to cover everybody outside. I am guessing, perhaps there is an even stronger and larger force behind the organization!” Ye Xiao said, “Only some force that is close to the world’s most powerful could protect the organization this well!”

“I believe we are approaching the truth together now!”
