"The Gu Masters must have controlled Demonic Beasts through their Gu Insects."
Feilian explained.
Gu Insects were extremely difficult to raise, and only Gu Masters knew how to raise them.
The stronger the Demonic Beast one wanted to control, the more powerful the Gu Insect required.
Controlling an ordinary Demonic Beast was one thing.
But controlling an Earth Immortal Realm Demonic Beast was an entirely different matter.
And the Half-Qilin must have been even more difficult.
After all, it was at Peak of Earth Immortal Cultivation plus the bloodline of Qilin.
The fact that those Gu Masters had managed to control such a powerful Demonic Beast meant that their Gu Insects were definitely extraordinary.
"Those Gu Masters..."
She paused for a moment.
"They might be even stronger than the two you encountered at the Shen Clan."
The two Gu Masters that the Bai Clan had fought at the Shen Clan had already been extremely powerful.
If not for the fact that the Bai Clan had become stronger due to Bai Zihan’s help, they could have easily destroyed the Bai Clan by themselves.
So, for there to be even more powerful Gu Masters than them in the Desolate Heaven Empire...
Just thinking about it made Bai Zihan frown.
What Bai Zihan didn’t understand is if such a powerful Gu Master has already been sent here then why didn’t they make a move?
Could it be that they have other objectives and helping the Demonic Cultivators were just on a whim?
"Why were those Gu Masters helping you?"
Bai Zihan asked Mo Zun.
Mo Zun shook his head without hesitation.
"I don’t know."
As expected, Mo Zun didn’t know, nor did he seem to care.
After all, for him, the more people helping him achieve his goal, the better.
Why would he care about someone when they were the one coming to offer their help without anything in return?
Of course, Mo Zun kept him under observation but other than doing what he was told, that person never did anything suspicious.
So, really, Mo Zun didn’t know why that person helped him.
"Perhaps they simply wanted to see another war."
Feilian guessed.
After all, more dead bodies meant more corpses for the Gu Masters to refine.
Of course, the corpses were often taken care of by the clans they belonged to, but who would keep tabs on all the corpses?
Some went missing, while others simply became food for the Demonic Beasts.
If certain corpses weren’t found, they are labeled as missing. No one would think that others would steal the bodies of the dead.
(I should ask other clans whether they had any of their fallen clan members’ corpses go missing during the war against the Demonic Forces!)
Especially those in the Immortal Ascension Realm and above.
If the corpses are missing then that would prove that those Gu Masters were involved.
Otherwise, there was also a chance that some other faction had a similar technique to the Gu Masters for controlling Demonic Beasts.
The war against the Demonic Forces...
It seemed that there was more to it than what met the eye.
The Demonic Cultivators and Demonic Beasts were merely one side.
There were also the Demonic Cultivators from the Central Region and the Gu Masters pulling the strings from behind.
Bai Zihan slowly exhaled.
But none of that was the reason he had come here.
His most important objective had always been Luo Qing.
Yet after everything he had done, the only thing he had learned was that Luo Qing had been taken by another group of Demonic Cultivators from the Central Region.
And that force was extremely far away and far stronger.
Even someone like Chong Sheng, who was in the Supreme Immortal Realm, had fallen.
So, there was no need to guess what would happen if someone like him, who was only in the Immortal Ascension Realm.
He won’t even be able to get through their gates, much less demand answers from them.
Bai Zihan lowered his head slightly.
His hands slowly tightened into fists.
"Can I really save her?"
His voice was so quiet that only he could hear it.
For the first time in a long while, a trace of uncertainty appeared in his eyes.
It was already unknown the fate of Luo Qing but now that he pry open Mo Zun’s mouth and the only thing he found out is that she is taken away.
Still no answer about why and what state Luo Qing was in.
If only the System would give him a mission.
Just like when Shen Liang had kidnapped Bai Xueqing.
If the System gave him a mission to rescue Luo Qing, everything would be much simpler.
Even if there was no reward...
Even if he had to spend his own System Points...
He was willing to do it.
As long as he could find Luo Qing.
As long as he could bring her back safely.
But... There was no response from the System.
The System remained completely silent.
"Aren’t you an all-knowing System?"
His voice carried a hint of frustration.
"Can’t you even detect where Luo Qing is?"
Still no response.
Bai Zihan’s eyes gradually narrowed.
He didn’t believe that the System was incapable of finding Luo Qing.
The System has items that even those giants from the Central Glorious Continent wouldn’t be able to get.
He knew where Bai Xueqing was kidnapped.
How could it possibly be unable to locate one more person?
No!
It wasn’t that the System couldn’t do it.
It simply didn’t want to tell him.
Bai Zihan slowly raised his head and looked toward the distant horizon.
His gaze became firm once again.
"If you won’t tell me..."
"Then I’ll find her myself."
No matter where Luo Qing had been taken.
No matter how powerful the force behind her kidnapping was.
Bai Zihan slowly lowered his gaze. Then, he looked straight into Mo Zun’s eyes.
His eyes were bone-chillingly cold.
An absolute killing intent filled his eyes.
Bai Zihan calmly asked,
"Do you have any last words?"
He has finished asking everything he wants to know. Now, Mo Zun was of no use to him.
Mo Zun’s expression became ugly. But instead of begging for his life, he glared at Bai Zihan with hatred.
"You may have won today, but don’t think this is the end!"
A twisted smile appeared on Mo Zun’s face.
"Go ahead and kill me!"
His voice was filled with hatred.
"Bai Zihan, I’ll be waiting for you in hell! Hahaha..."
Bai Zihan stared at him for a moment.
Then, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Then you will need to wait for a very long time."
Slash!!!
Mo Zun’s head flew into the air.
His eyes were still wide open, filled with unwillingness and hatred.
His headless body collapsed heavily onto the ground.
The leader of the Demonic Cultivators...
The man who had once stood at the peak of the Eastern Region for many centuries...
Had finally fallen.
But Bai Zihan didn’t even spare his corpse another glance.
He turned his gaze toward the remaining Demonic Cultivators.
The surrounding Demonic Cultivators immediately became terrified.
They had already witnessed Bai Zihan’s strength but until Mo Zun was killed, they weren’t completely hopeless.
Until Mo Zun’s head was severed, many still believed that he might have some trump card.
But all of those were just their false expectations.
Since Mo Zun has been killed, many knew that it would be their turn next.
Some had already surrendered.
Others had begun desperately begging for mercy.
"Young Master Bai, please spare my life!"
"I surrender!"
"I am willing to submit to the Bai Clan!"
"Please give me another chance!"
However, Bai Zihan’s expression remained completely indifferent.
"Kill them!"
The moment his voice fell—
The Bai Clan cultivators moved.
Countless attacks erupted across the battlefield.
The Demonic Cultivators desperately resisted.
Some tried to flee.
Some begged for mercy.
Some even tried to hide among the corpses.
But none of it mattered.
One after another, they fell under the Bai Clan’s blade.
Blood stained the ground.
Corpses piled up across the battlefield.
Even those who had surrendered were not spared.
This was reality.
The Demonic Cultivators weren’t good people anyway.
Leaving such enemies alive was nothing more than planting the seeds of one’s own destruction.
The Bai Clan understood this better than anyone.
After all, the Bai Clan had already destroyed an entire Righteous Cultivator clan.
So how could they show mercy to Demonic Cultivators who were considered the sworn enemies of humanity?
Mercy toward an enemy could eventually become a blade pointed at one’s own back.
Therefore, the Bai Clan showed no mercy.
"Please! Don’t kill me!"
"I’ll tell you everything I know!"
"I’ll never oppose the Bai Clan again!"
The cries of the Demonic Cultivators echoed throughout the battlefield.
But the killing never stopped.
Slash! Slash!
Some also desperately tried to flee into the depths of the Great Wilderness.
But how could they outrun Bai Ren and Bai Chu who are in the Golden Immortal Realm?
In the end, their fate remained the same!
