The Founder of Qi Cultivation, Reincarnates?

467 Chapter 464- The Fire Empire’s Bloody Plan



Thud.

The Fire Empire disciple Li Shen was holding by the neck fell to the ground.

In the surroundings, the aftermath of Li Shen’s battle with over one hundred disciples could be seen. However, even though he had successfully killed all of them, a few parts of his robes were torn showing gruesome injuries.

Even for Li Shen it was a bit difficult to take on so many people unarmed.

Although, his wounds could visibly be seen healing on their own, showcasing his Chaos Spiritual Physique's terrifying regenerative abilities.

After letting go of the last disciple, Li Shen looked at the distant horizon to see Mo Zhe's figure escaping.

Li Shen didn’t bother chasing after him since he didn’t know if he would stumble upon an ambush.

What he should do now was find the others.

“They should have entered the dimension already, hopefully, Tai had managed to keep everyone together.”

After saying this, Li Shen rose further into the air. Then, closing his eyes he tried to focus on his mental connection with Tai.

‘Tai…’

Li Shen called out after a while.

‘M-Master?’

Hearing Tai’s weak response, Li Shen become worried.

‘Was it too much for you?’

‘I… I’m sorry Master, I wasn't able to keep everyone together. Sister-in-Law Yue along with Mao Wen and Fuangu was separated from the group.’

Li Shen felt his heart drop at that.

Li Shen then glanced around at the molten lava in the surroundings.

Lu Yue would be the one who would have the hardest time here. With the Fire Laws in abundance in this place, her Yang Essence energy might increase and eat away at her life force faster.

If it reached a certain level, even Jun’s ability won’t be able to restore the balance between the two Essences.

‘I’m sorry Master…’

Li Shen’s silence caused Tai to apologize once more.

‘No, it's not your fault Tai don’t blame yourself. How are the others doing?’

‘They decided to split up to look for Sister-in-Law at the points where the Fire Empire is ambushing people. I’m with Fei Yin heading towards the points in the Northeast Region. Master, where are you?’

From Li Shen’s estimates, he was in the Southeastern Region of this dimension.

‘Master, Lu Shin speculated he and Sister-in-Law were supposed to be teleported to where Gu Lin and Shiming were. But Mu Fan is the one heading to the Northeast Region. Master, Sister-in-Law Yue might be where you are.’

Li Shen hearing this had a vicious look appear in his eyes.

‘Okay Tai, rest for now.’

Li Shen could tell it was taking a lot for Tai to keep their connection.

“And don’t beat yourself up over this, everything will be fine. I promise.”

‘Be careful Master…’

After Tai's voice faded away, Li Shen’s body produce murderous intent so potent the void around him turned sluggish. If someone was here they would realize the scent of blood in the air sky-rocket.

BANG!!

Li Shen’s body released a sonic boom as he almost broke the sound barrier.

His hesitation to head back to where Gu Jin and Shiming were was all dashed, and he held back nothing as he charged head-first in that direction.

But although it looked like Li Shen was blinded by rage because Lu Yue was in danger, his mind was frighteningly calm as he tried to analyze what was happening.

Something about this whole situation didn’t make sense to him.

He could understand that the Fire Empire wanted to eliminate competition so they have more members to enter the Hidden Fragmented Realm but to this extent?

No, this wasn’t just killing for a competition, this was a planned massacre.

‘But why? Why would the Fire Empire kill so many people?’

As Li Shen sped through the sky his brows furrowed while he tried to wrack his brain for an answer.

However, he soon realized he might be asking the wrong question.

‘Instead of asking why they're killing so many people in this Chosen Tournament, I should be asking why they even held the Chosen Tournament in the first place.’

The Fire Empire claim to have the ability to open the Hidden Fragmented Realm but they were willing to hold this competition and chose people to enter.

That already seems suspicious.

'Why didn’t they just open the Hidden Fragmented Realm and enter themselves? They had no reason to share such an opportunity with us weaker powers, and rivals the Water Empire.'

Li Shen doubt they did this to appease the other Continents.

If they didn’t care to offend the other Continents by carrying out a murder spree on their geniuses, then why would they hesitate to confiscate the Hidden Fragmented Realm and risk offending them?

“Something definitely isn’t right. Unnecessarily holding this tournament, carrying out a massacre…”

As Li Shen was mumbling this under his breath, his body suddenly shook and he couldn’t help but grind to a halt in the sky.

He then began to frantically look around his surroundings.

“Where… are we exactly?”

Li Shen wanted to slap himself for not questioning this immediately.

He had never heard of the Star Bound Continent having a separate dimension like this, in fact, they didn’t have a separate dimension at all!

“No, this can’t be… is this the Hidden Fragmented Realm?”

Li Shen looked around in shock and confusion.

The apocalyptic-like environment, the broken Heavenly Laws in the surroundings where only the Fire Qi exists.

Is this not how the Hidden Fragmented Realm was described?

“No, there are some differences. There are no ruins here or could exist in this place. And though it was said that the Heavenly Laws in the Hidden Fragmented Realm were broken, it wasn’t to the point of becoming this Fiery Hell. Rather than this being the Hidden Fragmented Realm itself, it must be a fragmented piece of it.”

When Li Shen came to this conclusion he started to put the pieces together.

“Not opening the Hidden Fragmented Realm but instead unnecessarily holding the Chosen Tournament inside a piece of the Hidden Fragmented Realm to carry a planned slaughter.”

Li Shen’s eyes turned cold, and the murderous aura around him reached new heights.

“They aren’t going to open the Hidden Fragmented Realm after holding the Chosen Tournament, they're holding the Chosen Tournament so they can open the Hidden Fragmented Realm. And carrying out this mass slaughter inside this piece of the Hidden Fragmented Realm has something to do with it. Damn bastards!”

BANG!

Li Shen was like a streak of lightning in the sky as he rush towards where Lu Yue was.

‘How dare they treat us like sacrifices? Fine, then how about I turn the tables and sacrifice you instead?’
