Qu Man said, "What you said makes sense, let's release our primordial spirits."

She was the first to act, and a spirited female general's shadow appeared behind her.

"Hmph!" The Jueqing Valley loose immortal waved his hand in dissatisfaction, and released his own primordial spirit's shadow as well.

Liu Kang was heartbroken, but he knew he must clear his name, so he too released his primordial spirit.

The limp old Taoist was slow to act, but Wang Jixuan soon understood why he looked somewhat apprehensive.

This old Taoist's primordial spirit was entirely black!

Resentful power of living beings surrounded him, evidently a ruthless figure who slaughtered all beings!

Wang Jixuan released his primordial spirit, a fragrance wafting through the air, and mysterious, upright Daoist charm spread out.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Qu Man's phoenix-like eyes sparkled with brilliance as she reassessed Wang Jixuan.

Master Wang solemnly said, "Although I practice dual cultivation methods, they are all auxiliary and not methods of absorption... it's your turn, old man."

Mao Mo's Adam's apple moved up and down.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him. Seeing Mao Mo's evasive eyes, Qu Man instinctively gripped her long spear, and the limp old Taoist also grasped his whisk.

"Hey! It's no big deal to show you! I hope fellow Taoists won't laugh at me!"

Mao Mo closed his eyes and bowed his head, letting his primordial spirit emerge as a shadow from his back slowly.

The cave was silent for a moment.

Qu Man suddenly sneered, her eyes filled with disdain.

The limp old Taoist just shook his head, unwilling to look more.

Wang Jixuan raised his hand to rub his forehead... how could this old fellow's primordial spirit be so depleted?

A loose immortal's primordial spirit might be of higher quality than that of a cultivator in the Mahayana Realm, as they are still immortals, yet most loose immortals have imperfect primordial spirits, with various injuries or deficiencies.

But who would have thought, Mao Mo's primordial spirit...

Actually exuded a weak feeling like a mortal suffering from excessive kidney depletion.

It was evident this fat fairy wasn't just indulgent here, he was also obsessed with pleasures in the Immortal Realm.

Consequently, Mao Mo's paper strength had fallen to the lowest among the five loose immortals.

"Everyone's primordial spirit seems fine," Wang Jixuan said, subconsciously glancing at the limp old Taoist.

This old Taoist was a pure demon cultivator.

His primordial spirit merely lacked the mana aura of Bai Ling'er, but there were significant issues.

Qu Man said, "I've suddenly realized, of those here, probably only I can directly clear my name and lead the investigation, right? I am a woman, this state of Bai Linger's death, is not something I could have done."

"Indeed," Wang Jixuan clasped his hands, "Then please, Sect Leader Qu, uphold justice for Senior Bai Ling'er."

"Forget it," Qu Man sneered, "I am unwilling to become too involved with her, you do it."

Wang Jixuan asked, "Are there only these loose immortals present in this realm?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Mao Mo said, "This realm probably fell silent about a hundred thousand years ago."

"Silent?" Wang Jixuan was somewhat puzzled.

Mao Mo explained briefly.

So-called cosmic silence, is actually under the influence of the Heavenly Dao, this realm began entering a phase of rest and recovery, driving out cultivators, leaving only ordinary beings, allowing this Xu Realm to gradually recover from the state of 'spiritual energy overdraft'.

When spiritual energy is abundant and the cosmic state is good, it then enters the next epoch of cultivation.

Mao Mo and the six others are envoys to ignite this epoch of cultivation.

Spreading the Daoist legacy, reviving cultivation, opening the Immortal Road, guiding ascension.

The limp old Taoist added, "

"These matters are closely related to the Tianluo organization.

"We are a subordinate power of the Beast God Palace of the Eight Great Immortal Palaces in the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Ascension Platform corresponding to this Xu Realm is also within our Beast God Palace territory.

"Coming to spread the Dao can be considered a small matter for the Immortal Realm, but with the involvement of the Heavenly Dao's inevitable decree, it is no ordinary matter.

"Therefore, logically speaking, unless Tianluo has exposed our location and sent new experts, there should only be us in this realm for now."

Then Liu Kang frowned at Wang Jixuan: "So fellow, how did you come to this realm?"

"By a twist of fate," Wang Jixuan sighed lightly.

He began recounting the battle that wiped out his sect in vivid detail.

Mu Dan had already crafted a flawless script for him.

After Wang Jixuan finished speaking, he fought against two suspected demon path experts, the Mountain Guardian Treasure Tripod exploded, the spirit of the tripod gathered the entire Mountain Protection Array's spiritual power and forcibly activated the Transfer Array;

Wang Jixuan sighed gently, his eyes slightly moist, then immediately regained composure.

He solemnly said, "That's how I came."

Mao Mo asked, "Then, is it possible the people from the Dark Sect have tracked us down?"

The limp old Taoist shook his head: "The Dark Sect and Tianluo cannot directly attack cultivators, this is the rule of the Heavenly Dao."

Wang Jixuan: This rule might have been broken long ago.

Qu Man looked at Bai Linger's corpse: "What do we do now? Are we at an impasse?"

"Can each of you explain where you were, what you did, and if anyone can verify this within the past two hours..."

"Enough!"

Liu Kang yelled, bloodshot eyes angrily glaring at Wang Jixuan.

Master Wang frowned, saying nothing.

Liu Kang lowered his head and picked up Bai Linger's corpse, softly saying, "I will report this to the Immortal Realm. Before that, I want to bathe and dress Ling'er, she can't die so unjustly."

Mao Mo quickly said, "Why are you getting so sentimental! Come over here, I'll arrange it for you! Let's first get to the bottom of this matter, catch the murderer, then report it to the Immortal Realm, not a minute too late."

Liu Kang said nothing, carrying Bai Linger's corpse and directly escaped.

Wang Jixuan secretly observed everyone's reactions, still gleaning nothing.

Qu Man asked, "Continue investigating?"

"One is gone, he might be the killer," Wang Jixuan folded his arms, "This matter has nothing to do with me, I'll stay here with Mao Mo, it's best if you don't wander alone."

The limp old Taoist pondered, "Are you worried that evil demons might still target us?"

"We don't know the purpose of the one who killed Bai Ling'er yet."

Master Wang clasped his hands and voluntarily went outside the cave, looking for a notable hall, and sat atop the hall's roof.

Mao Mo sighed, paced back and forth with hands behind his back.

Qu Man said, "I'll go open the Mountain Protection Array, can't let anything happen at the mountain gate, I have a bad premonition."

With that, she left quickly with her long spear.

The limp Immortal said, "Let's return to our mountain gates to make some arrangements and then gather here."

"Better report to the Immortal Realm quickly," the Jueqing Valley loose cultivator threw down such a sentence, left without looking back, as if thinking this place quite unlucky.

Wang Jixuan took note of all this.

And on the other side, Mu Dan had found some anomalies according to the imagery provided by him.

...

"Boss, there are three things we can confirm now.

"First, the killer is definitely one of the five, even Qu Man cannot clear suspicion.

"Second, analyzing Bai Linger's corpse, they must have known each other, even entered a dual cultivation stage, if immortal-level spiritual power clashed in that direction, I would have detected it; the only explanation is, Bai Linger tried to absorb the other's cultivation, accidentally failed, and was absorbed instead.

"Third, we detected no frequency of spatial fluctuations, suggesting no other immortals have arrived here."

In the First Base conference room, Mu Dan said simply, giving Wang Jixuan a headache.

Master Wang asked, "Do they have any unknown grudges among the six of them?"

Zheng Shiduo said, "If it were a grudge, why would Bai Ling'er be unguarded and engage in dual cultivation with the other?"

Gao Huating raised her hand to speak, "Is it possible two people acted, rendering Bai Ling'er defenseless? Her manner of death being a disguise?"

"It's possible," Wang Jixuan said, "Now we don't know what the opponent's purpose ultimately is. If it's purely to despise Bai Ling'er, kill her, frame Mao Mo, then they might not take further action."

Mu Dan continued, "If the opponent is targeting this transmission of Dao from the Immortal Realm, like some major power wanting to seize territory?"

"No way," Wang Jixuan shook his head lightly, "The region corresponding to the Ascension Platform dictates who owns this celestial pasture, claiming territory must be done in the Immortal Realm where the Immortal Ascension Platform is."

The conference room fell silent.

Those five loose immortals continuously rotated on the projection screen.

Suddenly!

Mu Dan abruptly stood up, eyes emitting two beams of light, the projection screen showing the northern sky ahead.

A patch of blood cloud appeared there.

"There's a clash of two immortal powers! The direction of Jueqing Valley mountain gate! One power I've never recorded before!"
