Chapter 1335: I Want Proof

Swish! Swish!
Luo Ting brought with him hundreds of God Generals this time. More than twenty of them were killed, and over seventy remained. These remaining seventy were hot on Jiang Yi’s heels. After recuperating for about ten minutes, Jiang Yi and Gu Mu discovered that the first wave of over twenty people was nearby.
“Young Clan Head!”
The sound of Uncle Lu exploding himself was too loud. They already had a bad feeling about the entire situation in their hearts. When they arrived to see the ground covered with corpses and Luo Ting barbecued, they were stunned into silence. All of their faces drained of color. They remained in mid-air, at a loss for what to do next.
Luo Ting was their Yong Clan Head. Although Young Clan Heads did not necessarily become Clan Heads in Earth Emanations Domain and Young Clan Heads were frequently stripped of their positions, the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan always had strict rules governing its disciples. Now that Luo Ting was dead, they would surely perish as well.
Escape?
This idea came up in many of their minds, but they turned it down almost immediately. The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan was quite powerful in Blue Eagle Prefecture. What’s more, great family clans hated traitors. If they tried to escape, the Earth Emanations Pavilion, the Battle God Pavilion, and the Demon-Killing Pavilion would release missions at once for them to be re-captured. Where could they run to? The entire Earth Domain had many regions, but which one of them did not have people from the Battle God Pavilion or the Demon-Killing Pavilion?
If they went back to ask for forgiveness obediently, perhaps their families would still have a chance of survival. However, if they decided to escape, their families would be the first to be killed. Everyone quickly regained their composure. One of the peak-stage God Generals scanned the surroundings and found an interspatial ring. He exclaimed, “Uncle Lu’s interspatial ring! His battle armor is broken as well. The person who exploded himself earlier was Uncle Lu!”
The peak-stage God General’s words shocked everyone. They all looked around and found more evidence to prove that what he claimed was true. The twenty or so God Generals must have been killed by the Chaos Beast. Luo Ting was also killed by the Chaos Beast. It was clear from their corpses that they were burned alive.
“Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast!”
Only Ancient-Grade Chaos Beasts could kill this many God Generals and tear a Divine Boat to pieces. However, they could not find any corpses of Ancient-Grade Chaos Beasts nearby. Uncle Lu had already exploded himself. How could he not have killed the Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast?
“Why did Uncle Lu explode himself?”
This question perplexed many of the God Generals. Uncle Lu was a God King. Even if he could not kill an Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast, it would be easy for him to escape. If a formidable martial artist such as him did not have absolute confidence that the Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast would die along with him, he would not explode himself.
Where was the problem?
None of them could figure it out, but they quickly retrieved Luo Ting and company’s bodies anyway. They decided to return to their pavilion and plead guilty. It would be up to the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan to deal with them.
“That’s not right. Uncle Lu is very capable and authoritative. His clan favors him greatly. Even though the Young Clan Head is dead now—if he went back to admit his mistakes to his family clan, his family clan was likely to show him mercy. Why did he explode himself? Could he have known that he was going to die anyway? Was that why he tried to take his opponent down with him? Were there two Ancient-Grade Chaos Beasts then?”
The peak-stage God General kept mumbling to himself. After pondering for a while longer, he stiffened and exclaimed, “That’s not right… the family clan received updates recently; there was no discovery of any Ancient-Grade Chaos Beasts in the Fire Lake. There could not have been two! A plot… this must have been someone’s plot!”
He thought about everything that had happened from beginning to end and found that there were many problems. He already felt like something was amiss, but Luo Ting refused to listen to him. He dared not speak too much after that. He was afraid that he would get into trouble with Luo Ting. However, he finally understood everything now. Everything that had happened from beginning to end was part of somebody’s plot.
There was no doubt about the fact that Jiang Yi was a minor character!
He had just ascended to Earth Emanations Domain not long ago. The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan already looked into this. That meant that he was nothing but a despicable ant. Yet, despite the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s efforts to find him, this little ant managed to escape Divine Eagle Tribe?
Luo Ting only received the news a long time after Jiang Yi left. People said that Jiang Yi had gone to the Demon Fire Mountain to complete a mission. Thus, Luo Ting sent more people to investigate and found that Jiang Yi had already escaped for a long time. It was then that they held discussions and decided to hunt him down with what little clues they had of his whereabouts.
Now, from the looks of it, the spy they planted in the Demon-Killing Pavilion had already become someone else’s guilt. The clues they got about Jiang Yi going to Demon Fire Mountain was leaked on purpose. Jiang Yi, such a minor character, had only joined the Demon-Killing Pavilion for a few days. How could he have obtained the Rootless Water and China Root Elixir?
All these things deepened the suspicion that the God General had. His eyes darted around as his mind worked. Suddenly, he said, “Immediately send a message back to our clan. Tell them that the Young Clan Head has been murdered. Another great family clan set up this plot to kill him. Tell our clan to immediately send more formidable martial artists here to investigate. The rest of us will retreat five hundred kilometers and surround this area. We will wait for back-up from our clan!”
This peak-stage God General was quite well-respected in the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. Now that Uncle Lu and Luo Ting were dead, everyone else was beginning to panic. Naturally, they followed his instructions. On the spot, everyone did a quick search around the area and gathered all the corpses of their clan members. After that, they retreated. Now that Uncle Lu was dead, their skills were no match for Ancient-Grade Chaos Beasts or other formidable martial artists for sure.
One of the God Generals retrieved his special jade token for communication and sent a message back to the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. This jade token was very mysterious. While sending a message, gentle space fluctuations could be spotted. The moment the message reached its destination, the jade token would then explode automatically. It was obvious that it was specially refined to send a message only once.
…
In the east of Divine Eagle City stood a golden and majestic group of castles. Inside one of the castles, a light beam shot out and into the sky. A moment later, a pale-faced God General ran out, charging towards the biggest castle in the group.
The Clan Head of the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan, Luo Fu, heard the report from one of his subordinates in that biggest castle. When he saw the God General charge in without giving any notice or asking for any permission, he frowned. This man held his own rules in high regard. The fact that this man was running in without first notifying him showed that something serious had happened.
Bang!
The moment the God General entered, he went down on one knee and cupped his hands. “Clan Head, I just received news that the Young Clan Head had been killed at the Fire Lake. Luo Lu killed himself, and more than twenty God Generals have died as well. Luo Tian sent a message to say that a great family clan had set up this entire plot to murder the Young Clan Head. They are asking for us to send formidable martial artists there to investigate the matter.”
“Wow!”
At least fifty formidable martial artists of the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan were seated in that hall. Among them were more than thirty God Kings. At that moment, all of them were outraged. Many of them jumped to their feet, their bodies engulfed with killing intent. Another great family clan was plotting against their own Young Clan Head? This was obviously a call for war. Apart from the ten most powerful clans in Blue Eagle Prefecture, who else would the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan fear?
“Sit down!”
Luo Fu shouted coolly. The coolness in his voice caused everyone else to stiffen. The people who jumped to their feet quickly sat back down and turned to look at Luo Fu. Luo Fu showed no expression on his face. Instead, he closed his eyes and began mumbling to himself.
After five full minutes, he opened his eyes again and gave orders in the same cold tone. “Luo Kedi, bring the people from the Battle Hall to the Demon Fire Mountain. Don’t leave out a single piece of evidence! I bet that this was either planned by the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan or the Demon-Killing Pavilion. However… if there is no proof, we cannot go after them. So your main purpose in going there this time is to find evidence!”
“Understood!”
One of the upper-tier God Kings led ten other God Kings out of the castle. Once outside, he shouted, “I want all of the people from Battle Hall to gather!”
“Luo Mingtong!”
Luo Fu shouted once again, “Activate all of our clan’s secret agents and spies. Do all that we can to find out exactly what happened here. I’ll say this again: I want proof. As long as we have proof, the Demon-Killing Pavilion or the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan—whoever is responsible—will face the wrath of the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan!”
