Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Alkaid left the area, and soon, dramatic changes in celestial patterns causing flashes of lightning, roaring thunder, and violent storms enveloped tens of thousands of miles of the region.

It was ongoing for a long time, rendering the region as though it were the apocalypse.

If there were towns of lower-level cultivators nearby, under such terrifying weather, one could hardly imagine how many would suffer and die.

The rain poured relentlessly.

An hour later.

Ripples spread through the void, and three streams of light simultaneously appeared in the sea area.

As soon as the three figures appeared, the void force emanating constantly from the Chaos Void…

Or rather, from within their Cave Heavens, began to disperse in all directions, impacting the surrounding celestial changes.

In an instant, the torrential rain ceased, and the clouds dispersed.

This disturbance directly silenced all beings within the vast sea, freezing them like cicadas in cold weather.

"Elder Tong Ming, Elder Hou Feng, according to my tracking, Xuan Shuang’s true transmission perished here," one of the men dressed as an elder and bearing the Dao vein insignia said.

"Thank you for your efforts, Elder Tushan," the two others nodded.

They could also tell from the celestial changes they had just calmed that a great battle had taken place here.

"How daring to kill my Heavenly Vein’s true disciple," Tong Ming said with an icy expression.

"How far is the Sea of Turmoil from our Heavenly Dao Sect? It’s almost equivalent to the outer forces of our sect. Yet, a true disciple of our sect fell here! It seems all forces in the Sea of Turmoil are unnecessary," Hou Feng said, his tone brimming with murderous intent.

"It probably wasn’t the forces from the Sea of Turmoil; on one hand, they would not dare, and on the other... Xuan Shuang was not weak, ranked thirty-fourth among the true disciples. No one in the Sea of Turmoil could have killed him," suggested Elder Tushan from the Dao vein.

In the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Immortal Vein is the orthodox leadership, in charge of the sect’s operations, the War Vein has the strongest combat capability, used for external warfare, and the Heavenly Vein has the most members, though their quality varies.

The Dao vein, however, tends to stay aloof from worldly affairs, focusing strictly on great dao cultivation, imparting skills and techniques, and rarely meddling in sect affairs.

But even though the Dao vein seldom intervenes in the development of the sect, the resources belonging to the Dao vein are coveted by no one.

Because among the current Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Dao vein accounts for half.

"Whether it was the people from the Sea of Turmoil or not, a true disciple of our Heavenly Dao Sect has fallen in the Sea of Turmoil, making it a land of sin! And since it has become a land of sin, it must be cleansed!" Elder Tong Ming said as he tossed a bag into the void.

The bag swelled in the wind, quickly inflating to a hundred meters in diameter.

From the mouth of the bag, creatures resembling crows but engulfed in black flames flew out swiftly in massive numbers, quickly forming a sky-covering swarm.

"For a hundred thousand miles, spare no living creature! Take their lives as a sacrificial offering to the spirit of our Heavenly Vein’s true disciple in heaven!"

As he gave the order, thousands of demons in the form of flaming crows let out piercing screeches, scattering in all directions like dark clouds, each as fast as a Sunburst Golden Core.

"It’s time to sort out the Sea of Turmoil, seeing as it causes trouble every now and then. It’s disgraceful. Elder Tong Ming’s Demonic Flame Crows should clean it up, and it’s not a bad thing," said Hou Feng nonchalantly.

Although Elder Tushan listened and was somewhat disapproving of this approach, he would not oppose the will of the Heavenly and Immortal Vein Elders over such a minor issue.

"Thank you, Elder Tushan, for checking again to see if you can find any clues," said Elder Tong Ming as he released the flock of crows, then bowed slightly to Elder Tushan.

Elder Tushan nodded slightly and quickly produced a compass-like Dao artifact.

A formless Dao charm immediately rippled out from this treasure.

Seeing this artifact, both Elder Tong Ming and Elder Hou Feng showed a hint of covetousness in their eyes.

But they dared not reveal any greedy intentions.

This was the Dao artifact Myriad Immortals Disk, belonging to the Dao vein. The Hollow Void Elder only had the right to use it when performing relevant missions, and most of the time, it was kept in the hands of the Vein Master of the Dao vein, and even its ultimate authority was held by the Great Dao Golden Book.

Who would dare covet such an artifact without tiring of living?

"Found nothing," Tushan shook his head. "The murderer deliberately destroyed the scene after the crime, leaving hardly any traces. However, considering the extent of the damage they caused to the scene, the perpetrator must have been a Hollow Void War Immortal. We can focus our efforts in this area."

"Hollow Void War Immortal? There are three families of Hollow Void War Immortals in the Sea of Turmoil. One is backed by the Maritime State Defense Envoy Bai Ya, and another is covertly supported by Elder Ouyang Yan. Both of these families have no conflict with our Heavenly Vein’s Xuan Shuang true transmission. Therefore, the perpetrator must be from Panlong Island. I’ll go exterminate Panlong Island right away," said Elder Tong Ming.

Exterminating a Panlong Island was hardly an issue.

As for the possibility of wrongful killing...

It was not important.

Daring to establish power in the Sea of Turmoil without submitting profits was in itself a sin to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

At this moment, Elder Hou Feng suddenly asked, "Are you sure there’s not a single clue left?"

"It’s difficult, as the perpetrator shocked this piece of void with a single strike, wiping out almost all traces. If we really want to search, it may take a lot of time."

Tushan Elder said.

Although the Heavenly Vein had lost a True Disciple, he was still reluctant to expend too much energy and time here.

Wouldn’t it be better to focus on studying the Great Dao during this time?

If not, teaching a few more disciples and receiving more tributes would be better than wasting time here for a deceased True Disciple.

"I think Elder Tong Ming’s idea is to prefer executing the wrong person over letting someone go. If that’s the case, couldn’t anyone in this area with the power to kill Xuan Shuang’s True Disciple be the murderer?"

Hou Feng said with a smile.

"Of course, Xuan Shuang, as a True Disciple of our Heavenly Vein, undoubtedly has strong abilities. How many people in this area could match his power? If not them, then who? We will deal with and interrogate each suspect one by one until we find the real murderer."

Elder Tong Ming said, looking towards Hou Feng, "What do you know?"

Hou Feng nodded slightly, "Have you heard about the reward of one million Pure Yang Great Pills posted by True Disciple Jiang Heavenly Venerable of Taiyi Immortal Sect?"

"Naturally."

Tong Ming nodded.

Heavenly Dao Sect is located next to Dashang Immortal Dynasty and neighboring Taiyi Immortal Sect.

While they might not pay much attention to the other True Disciples within this power, they certainly focus especially on a Direct Disciple of a Shattered Void Supreme.

"Recently, I received a message from this Jiang Heavenly Venerable. The criminal who destroyed Jiang’s True Disciple’s hometown has fled to Northern Sea Star and has even joined our Heavenly Dao Sect as an Inner Sect Disciple. Importantly, this criminal’s power seems to have significantly increased, evidently possessing the strength to kill a Deep Blue Golden Core..."

Hou Feng explained.

But before he could finish, Tong Ming interrupted him, "Wait a moment? Didn’t Jiang Heavenly Venerable say that the criminal was just a Sunburst Golden Core? How could he have the power to kill a Deep Blue Golden Core?"

"It seems he had hidden his true power. Moreover, his combat ability matching a Deep Blue Golden Core has been confirmed. Second Grade officers from the Dashang Immortal Dynasty, from the Xi family, have complained to our Immortal Vein. They claimed that a Heavenly Dao Sect Inner Sect Disciple had long been scheming, spying on the Chaos Void frequency of their family’s two Hollow Void War Immortals, killing their two Deep Blue Golden Cores, and pillaging the family’s centuries-old residence... and this person is the disciple being offered a reward by Jiang Heavenly Venerable—Alkaid."

After finishing, Hou Feng glanced once more across the maritime region, "Jiang Heavenly Venerable has found out Alkaid’s whereabouts through his methods, hiding north of the Sea of Turmoil, that is, this region."

"Do you mean that Xuan Shuang was killed by this Inner Sect Disciple named Alkaid? Doesn’t that imply he has stronger power than the True Disciple Xuan Shuang?"

Elder Tong Ming furrowed his brows.

In other words, he could become a True Disciple quite soon?

Should they consider his potential any further?

"Whether he has stronger power, I cannot say for sure. It’s possible he used other methods, especially since Xuan Shuang’s closest younger brother, Xuan Mo, perished earlier before Xuan Shuang’s incident, suggesting there might be some conspiracy or tricks involved."

Hou Feng said.

Conspiracy or tricks?

Upon hearing this, Tong Ming refocused.

Sect rules must be upheld.

"I cannot say for sure that Alkaid is the murderer, but I am just providing a thought for Elder Tushan."

Hou Feng turned his gaze to Tushan, "If we could obtain Alkaid’s disciple seal and verify it on this battlefield with a Dao artifact, could we then determine he is the one who killed the True Disciple Xuan Shuang?"

"It’s possible."

Elder Tushan nodded in a businesslike manner, "Furthermore, since he is merely an Inner Sect Disciple, once confirmed that he murdered the True Disciple Xuan Shuang, we could upload the information to the Great Dao Golden Book. As long as the Great Dao Golden Book grants permission, with the disciple seal, Myriad Immortals Disk could soon pinpoint his location and apprehend the murderer to face punishment."

"Then I must trouble Elder Tushan."

Hou Feng took out a token, "Due to Jiang Heavenly Venerable’s prestige, I have indeed been investigating this Inner Sect Disciple named Alkaid. I have managed to record his disciple seal from the records of Inner Sect Disciples’ essences."

Upon seeing this, Elder Tushan frowned.

He had also heard about Jiang Heavenly Venerable putting up a million reward for Alkaid.

Could it be that Elder Hou Feng was tempted by the million Pure Yang Great Pills?

Yet, isn’t this practice equivalent to trading Sect disciple information for personal gain?

However, considering Jiang Heavenly Venerable was a disciple of the Supreme Jade Emperor from the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and since Alkaid was just an Inner Sect Disciple...

He hesitated to comment, accepting the token with a displeased look, while saying, "If he is not the murderer, and without authorization from the Great Dao Golden Book, I won’t help you find Alkaid, nor would I have the capability to do so."

"Of course, I understand. Regardless of the outcome, I think Jiang Heavenly Venerable will appreciate your sentiment, Elder Tushan, and will undoubtedly prepare a generous gift to express his gratitude."

Hou Feng said with a smile, "Alkaid’s development has been incredibly rapid. I imagine Jiang Heavenly Venerable feels threatened by him. Anyone who helps in this matter can expect heartfelt thanks from the Shattered Void Direct Disciple."

Upon hearing this, Tushan’s attitude softened slightly.

"Then I will see what I can do. If Alkaid truly dares to harm a Sect True Disciple, we don’t need others to tell us; as the first to act, our Heavenly Dao Sect will spare no effort to arrest him and bring him to justice,"

the Vein Master stated as he began operating the compass-like Dao artifact seriously. Read new adventures at novelbuddy

He knew very well.

Could the situation possibly be this coincidental?

Xuan Shuang dies, and the murderer happens to be the very Alkaid that Jiang Heavenly Venerable wants to deal with?

Hou Feng’s words were meant to make him operate the Myriad Immortals Disk outside the rules, using the disciple token to track down Alkaid’s whereabouts.

But after all, Alkaid was just an Inner Sect Disciple.

Since he could receive a reward and the request came from a Hollow Void Elder like himself, he still operated the Dao artifact diligently.

However, when the Myriad Immortals Disk truly activated and eventually displayed a "danger" indication with a red light, he was shocked on the spot.

"This..."
