My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor’s Corpse

95 The Supreme Demonic Sect’s Sect Master from Three Thousand Years Ago

“Hmm? It actually disappeared…” The man in black frowned.

Thanks to his talent, his sense of smell was extremely sensitive. He could distinguish the subtle auras left in the air and had always been successful.

Before this, he had relied on his keen sense of smell to track the Mad Daoist all the way here.

However, when he arrived at his destination, he was shocked to find that the aura of the Mad Daoist that remained in the air had disappeared into thin air, and he could no longer trace it.

This result made Mu Tianfeng and the others’ faces very gloomy.

If they couldn’t find the Mad Daoist, they wouldn’t be able to complete their mission.

There was only one outcome for failing to complete the task: death.

“Yun Zheng, can you search carefully again? are you sure you can’t find the Mad Daoist’s aura?” Mu Tianfeng said weakly.

Upon hearing this, the man in black called Yun Zheng carefully sensed his surroundings again, but to his disappointment, he still did not find anything.

“Before, I could clearly feel the aura of the Mad Daoist, but after coming here, his aura suddenly disappeared into thin air. It seems like he has used some kind of mystical item to hide his aura.”

Yun Zheng’s expression was unsightly.

“Then what do we do?”

“Ziyan, try using the Shangqing Heavenly Mirror and see if you can find the Mad Daoist.”

“I’ve tried, but I can’t find him,” The purple-robed woman shook her head and sighed.

Hearing this, everyone’s heart sank.

“Boss, what should we do next? We can’t just go around like headless flies. The Shangqing Heavenly Mirror and Yun Zheng’s sense of smell are no longer working. It’s just a waste of time and energy to continue searching like this. Besides, since the Mad Daoist has escaped, he definitely won’t show himself. I’m afraid we’ll return empty-handed this time,” One of them said in a deep voice.

Sigh!

Mu Tianfeng’s brows were tightly furrowed, anger and unwillingness floating in his eyes.

They were so close to killing the Mad Daoist.

But unfortunately, at the last critical moment, a cloaked man suddenly appeared and disrupted all their plans, causing the cooked duck to fly away.

The thought of not being able to explain themselves to the Great Captain and the Emperor when they returned made Mu Tianfeng extremely terrified.

This was related to their lives!

“If we were to return to the Imperial Heaven Bureau just like this, only death would await us. Rather than waiting for death, it would be better to search Sunset Battlefield. Just now, Yun Zheng said that the Mad Daoist’s aura disappeared only when we arrived here. That means he must be nearby, and he must have used an invisibility technique. In this case, as long as we keep using the mirror to search the void, we’ll definitely be able to find him. After all, there’s a time limit to the invisibility technique. Once the Mad Daoist reveals himself, we’ll be able to find him,” Mu Tianfeng pondered and said.

That’s right. As soon as these words came out, everyone’s spirit was lifted.

They had actually forgotten that the invisibility technique could not be maintained for a long time. Once the Mad Daoist could not hold on any longer, he would definitely give himself away.

At that time, he would have no place to hide.

“Ziyan, I’ll have to trouble you next.”

“I’m fine. As long as the Mad Daoist is still in Sunset Battlefield, I will not let him go,” Ziyan said coldly.

With the ground under their feet as the center, everyone began to search carefully.

…

Lin Wudao was clueless about their actions.

At this moment, he had already returned to where the battle had taken place.

“Hmm? Where are the corpses of the Imperial Heaven Bureau’s emissaries?”

He had wanted to come back to collect the corpses.

However, when he looked around, he saw that the corpses of the three Myth-realm cultivators who had been killed by the Mad Daoist were gone.

This made Lin Wudao extremely regretful.

“Brother Fan, don’t even think about the corpses of the Imperial Heaven Bureau’s emissaries. Although the people from the Imperial Heaven Bureau didn’t take them away, there were many Mahayana and Deva realm powerhouses present just now. How could they possibly let us take advantage of the corpses of Myth-realm powerhouses? Those corpses must have already been taken away.”

At this moment, Saint Qing Ming’s chuckling voice sounded.

“Indeed. Those are Myth-realm powerhouses we’re talking about. If we can get their corpses, we’ll definitely find many treasures on them. Sigh, what a pity…” Lin Wudao took a deep breath and felt as if he had just lost a few hundred million.

“Alright, stop sighing. Now, the three great powers of Jiuzhou have all gone to the Dragon Transformation Pool. We should take advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention to us and quickly get the origin auspicious energy recorded on the treasure map. That’s the most important thing. Sunset Battlefield will only be open for half a month. We have to hurry. Sigh, I hope we won’t encounter any accidents on the way,” Saint Qing Ming said with a frown.

He felt that Sunset Battlefield was filled with great terror everywhere. If they were not careful, they could possibly die without a burial place.

Tu Qianqiu and Chu Kuangren also agreed with this suggestion.

“Since that’s the case, let’s go.”

With that, they each steered a spiritual boat and began to follow the route recorded on the origin treasure map.

During this period, Lin Wudao purposely fell behind them. When the others weren’t paying attention, he took out the corpse map, which already showed a clear route.

To Lin Wudao’s surprise, the route shown on the corpse map was almost the same as the route they were taking.

“Could it be that 3000 years ago, the Supreme Demonic Sect’s sect master, Li Qingyun, was also buried in the place where the origin auspicious energy was? Or did he die to find the origin auspicious energy?” Lin Wudao was deep in thought.

“Something’s wrong. Three thousand years ago, the human race and the Barbarian race had an earth-shattering war on Sunset Battlefield. Li Qingyun should have participated in it. Perhaps this is just a coincidence.”

He shook his head and suppressed the suspicion in his heart.

…

Following this, the group of four steered their spiritual boats forward, and along the way, they saw devastated lands, large areas of ruins, completely decayed bones, broken weapons, and so on.

All that entered their eyes was desolation.

After half a day’s journey, the group came to an ancient ruin. From the outline, they could vaguely see a magnificent palace.

All around the palace were broken walls, and the ground was covered with rotten corpses.

“Guys, look over there!” Suddenly, Tu Qianqiu cried out in shock and pointed his finger into the distance.

Whoosh!

Looking in the direction he was pointing, they saw a pitch-black spear above the ancient palace gate, impaling the body of a middle-aged man.

Although a long time had passed, the man’s body was still intact, without any signs of decay.

“The Supreme Demonic Sect’s sect master, Li Qingyun.”

Lin Wudao narrowed his eyes.

He had not expected to find Li Qingyun’s corpse by accident while searching for the origin auspicious energy.

“He’s in the final stage of the Grotto-Heaven realm, right? Yet he actually died here? Moreover, Li Qingyun’s corpse seems strange…”

Lin Wudao didn’t immediately go forward to collect the corpse because, through the feedback of God’s Spiritual Eye, he saw something else.

However, just because Lin Wudao didn’t make a move, it didn’t mean that the others didn’t have thoughts.

Whoosh!

Just as he was sizing up Li Qingyun’s corpse, Chu Kuangren, who was standing next to him, suddenly burst out laughing.

“This corpse hasn’t rotted after so long. There must be some great treasure on it. Let me see what it is.”

As he said that, Chu Kuangren arrived in front of the palace gate in a flash. With eyes full of greed, he pulled out the spear from Li Qingyun’s body.

“Don’t touch him!” Saint Qing Ming shouted.

His intuition told him that the corpse was extremely dangerous.

However, it was all too late.

Whoosh!

Just as Chu Kuangren pulled out the black battle spear, a strange black light suddenly rushed out of the corpse and merged into his body.
