Chapter 153: Chapter 123: Essence Blood
Within an outpost on the outskirts of the Sky Sea Sect, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was observing two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
This outpost was a permanent base established by Elder Baili of the Holy Ice Sect, specifically for investigating the disappearance of Baili Jin Yan.
Normally stationed here were two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and the operation was overseen by Wei Yun, a Foundation Establishment direct disciple of Elder Baili.
Recently, while reviewing intelligence reports from the Sky Sea Sect, Wei Yun discovered that Li Shiming, who should have been killed, was still alive.
Li Shiming was not important, but Wei Yun had already reported his death to his master, Elder Baili, thus Li Shiming must be dead.
It was known that Elder Baili personally investigated Qiu Tan on Changming Island and sensed remnants of a mark left by Baili Jin Yan on Qiu Tan and two helpers.
Due to the passage of time, only a faint trace of the mark remained.
However, this did not hinder Elder Baili’s discovery, and whether Qiu Tan was involved in Baili Jin Yan’s disappearance or not, Qiu Tan was someone Baili Jin Yan wanted dead.
Thus, killing Qiu Tan and the two helpers for his son amounted to fulfilling Baili Jin Yan’s unfulfilled wish.
After a period of investigation, Elder Baili harbored many doubts about the disappearance of Baili Jin Yan; the secret technique left in Baili Jin Yan’s body had lost connection but had not vanished, which was his last hope that Baili Jin Yan was not dead.
After capturing Qiu Tan and the two helpers, Elder Baili subjected them to a brutal Soul Search.
