This battle would not end in a short time.
Within the Nine Heavens Sacred Spirit Pool, the fight between Jiang Li and Lin Ziyan was reflected.
The two were locked in a fierce battle, and with the aid of Su Mengli's pink spiritual light, Lin Ziyan had begun to slowly adapt to the combat.
Lin Ziyan's various martial arts skills became increasingly proficient.
High-difficulty combat techniques were executed with natural ease.
As the battle continued, the emotions generated by the demon saint's essence within Jiang Li gradually subsided.
Several hours later, Lin Ziyan was once again at a significant disadvantage, seemingly on the verge of being suppressed at any moment.
"Sister Su, Jiang Li's strength is too great, please help me..." Lin Ziyan said, trembling, tears streaming down her face.
She did not want to be suppressed by Jiang Li so easily.
Su Mengli took a deep breath. She could see that this divine maiden was truly at her last gasp.
"Very well," she thought, "let Jiang Li taste my power."
Immediately, she cast aside the restraints holding her back and entered the Nine Heavens Sacred Spirit Pool, preparing to defeat Jiang Li alongside Lin Ziyan.
Before long, within the Sky Fox Cave, an even more ferocious battle ensued.
...
Qing Qiu.
At this moment, Qing Qiu was engulfed in a deathly silence.
Dense miasma and an aura of desolation shrouded vast areas.
Following the previous slaughter and chaos, the Sky Fox tribe of Qing Qiu had either perished or fled...
The vibrant scene of yesteryear was completely gone.
Dried bloodstains and rotting corpses were visible everywhere.
In a blood-soaked jungle somewhere in Qing Qiu.
Groups of demons were searching the area.
They meticulously examined the demons found with extremely tragic deaths within the jungle.
"Reporting to the elder, these compatriots bear the same aura as the one found near the young clan leader. It must be the work of the murderer who killed the young clan leader!" a voice exclaimed with delight.
A wolf demon clad in armor, standing by the jungle, said to a nearby elder of the Bloodthirsty Wolf tribe with apparent joy.
The elder of the Bloodthirsty Wolf tribe remained silent, slowly approaching the corpse.
He carefully examined the residual aura on the corpse at his feet, finding it indeed identical to the aura left at the place where the young clan leader of the Bloodthirsty Wolf tribe had died.
"It is indeed the same. Mu Yan, you have done well. If we manage to capture the murderer who killed the young clan leader this time, this elder will reward you handsomely!" a glint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Bloodthirsty Wolf tribe elder, and he continued excitedly.
The others nearby who were also investigating showed signs of happiness.
After searching for so many days, they had finally achieved some results.
With their skills, it should have been easy to find clues, but the continuous slaughter in Qing Qiu.
The entire place was drenched in blood, severely interfering with their investigation.
The elder of the Bloodthirsty Wolf tribe took out a black compass from his spatial ring.
The compass seemed to contain mysterious power, emitting a strange glow.
Following this, the demon of the Bloodthirsty Wolf tribe poured the newly found wisp of aura into the compass.
The pointer on the compass began to slowly rotate, and after a moment, it pointed in a certain direction.
That direction was the location of the Sky Fox Cave.
"Alright, let's depart quickly. You know what the consequences will be if we haven't found the killer before the grand ceremony," the elder of the Bloodthirsty Wolf tribe continued coldly.
