Chapter 533: Even if they killed everyone, there must have been some effective ones.
The people sent by the Divine Kingdom arrived in the Phoenix Domain very quickly.
Upon arriving in the Phoenix Domain, the group split into ten teams, each consisting of one hundred disciples at the Heavenly Spirit Realm, five disciples at the Divine Transformation Realm, and one cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm. Each team was led by a Divine Transformation Realm expert from within the team.
After the teams were assigned, one team leader went to the Great Domain Lord's Mansion to inquire about the murderer's information and whereabouts, while the other nine teams rested on the spot and waited for the team that went to the Domain Lord's Mansion to bring back news.
The team that went to the Great Domain Lord's Mansion to gather information initially thought the murderer would hide and be difficult to find, but when they arrived at the Great Domain Lord's Mansion, they realized that this was not the case at all...
The main hall of the Great Domain Lord's Mansion.
After hearing the purpose of the Heavenly Spirit Palace's divine descendants' visit, the Great Domain Lord's eyelids twitched: "The envoys want to know the whereabouts of the murderer. There's no need to bother asking me. The murderer is currently on the outskirts and has not hidden any trace. You'll find out when you get there."
The disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Palace were all somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "She didn't even hide after killing the Domain Lord, yet she's so arrogant?"
Another disciple said, "Great Domain Lord, the murderer didn't hide. Didn't you send anyone to arrest her?"
"How could that be?" The Great Domain Lord denied it immediately upon hearing this: "After the Second Domain Lord and I received the news of the Third Domain Lord's accident, we sent elite troops to capture her, but her cultivation was too high and she carried a deadly poison. The soldiers suffered heavy losses and failed to capture her."
"To be honest, before you all arrived, the Second Domain Lord arranged the inner perimeter and then personally went to the outer perimeter to capture people." The First Domain Lord sighed, "That demon killed my third brother. If the Phoenix Domain didn't need someone to be stationed there and couldn't all leave, I would have personally gone to kill that demon to avenge my third brother!"
Even brothers can have estrangement when faced with power, let alone those who aren't even brothers. The people from the Heavenly Spirit Palace had no interest in watching his performance. After confirming that the murderer hadn't left the perimeter, they turned and left, saying, "Farewell."
"Is the envoy leaving already?" The Great Domain Lord followed the others out: "The murderer has not left, and the Second Domain Lord has gone ahead, so there is no need for the envoy to rush."
The Tianling Palace representative replied without turning his head, "It's your Phoenix Domain's business if the Second Domain Lord goes there. We have received orders from the High Priest to capture the murderer within a month, so naturally the sooner the better."
The Great Domain Lord stopped upon hearing this: "Then I wish the envoy all the best."
The disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Palace kept moving and soon arrived at the Great Domain Lord's Mansion.
Upon seeing this, the subordinate standing beside the Great Domain Lord said, "Since someone from the Divine Kingdom has arrived, the murderer can't escape. Domain Lord, you can rest assured."
The Great Domain Lord stroked his beard, a hint of disappointment in his voice: "The people from the Divine Kingdom arrived too quickly. If they had been any slower, the Phoenix Domain would have been even more lively, making it easier to place our people in both the inner and outer perimeters."
The subordinate said, "The domain lord wants to send people to the inner and outer perimeters, and that's fine now."
“The murderer has been caught and the situation on the outskirts has calmed down. The Divine Kingdom will directly appoint a new Domain Lord, who will then place his own people in key positions. It won’t be our place to interfere.” The Great Domain Lord sighed, “Everyone says the center is the best, but in reality, the outer areas that connect the passages between the various races are the best.”
When people from all races come, they all make arrangements, but whether it's magical artifacts, treasures, or spiritual weapons, none of them end up in their own territory. Otherwise, why would he want to take this opportunity to place his own people on the outskirts?
It's just a pity that the chance is gone...
The Great Domain Lord was unaware that his opportunity not only existed now, but would continue for a long time...
Upon hearing the Great Domain Lord's words, the subordinate hurriedly whispered words of comfort: "Although there are many opportunities in the outer regions, they are also dangerous."
The Great Domain Lord turned his head to look at his subordinate: "Do you know the saying, 'Fortune favors the bold'?"
"I know, but I rely on the Great Domain Lord and I wish for the Great Domain Lord's safety."
"You..." The Great Domain Lord patted his subordinate on the shoulder and said no more.
Meanwhile, the team responsible for gathering information contacted other teams immediately after leaving the Great Domain Lord's Mansion, informing them that the murderer was in the outer area and that they could go there directly.
After receiving the message, the team that was resting on the spot immediately set off for the outer reaches of Phoenix Domain.
...
The outer perimeter of the Phoenix Domain.
Not long after Ling Yi left the Three Domain Lord's Mansion, he began to be hunted down. At first, in order to have a number of people, Ling Yi would argue with them, but later, as the number of people increased, Ling Yi became too lazy to argue.
Even if you kill them all, some of them will still be effective.
The outer guards, cultivators who received orders from the Great Domain Lord or the Second Domain Lord, Ling Yi killed wave after wave of people in just three days, and he couldn't even remember how many there were.
But don't worry, Tianyan has it all figured out.
After dealing with another group of people, Ling Yi stopped at an abandoned house to rest for the time being.
She didn't hide her tracks; anyone who's determined to find her can easily do so.
About an hour later, a commotion was heard outside the house. New pursuers had arrived, and judging from their voices, there were quite a few of them.
Just as Ling Yi got up to leave, the mansion gate was smashed open with a bang, and a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties led a group of cultivators into the courtyard.
After the man entered, his gaze went straight to Ling Yi: "You're the one who harmed the Three Domain Lords?"
Ling Yi sneered upon hearing this: "They've already come looking for me, how could they not know if it's me?"
"Heh." Seeing Ling Yi's arrogance, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and the cultivators behind him immediately stepped forward to surround Ling Yi. At the same time, a barrier rose outside the mansion, enveloping the abandoned courtyard. Clearly, the middle-aged man had left people outside to prevent Ling Yi from escaping, and had them build the barrier.
Ling Yi looked up at the barrier and smiled, "It's good."
It saves her the trouble of trapping people by creating a barrier.
The middle-aged man, unaware of Ling Yi's thoughts, was displeased to see that Ling Yi was not afraid even when trapped. He looked at the cultivators and said, "Take him down."
Upon hearing this, the group of cultivators surrounding Ling Yi launched a simultaneous attack on him.
"Wait," Ling Yi called out.
The middle-aged man asked, "What, are you scared?"
"If you are afraid, surrender now and I, the Lord of this Domain, may spare your life; otherwise, you will only face death."
"Afraid?" Ling Yi looked at the Second Domain Lord with a mocking smile: "Why would I be afraid of a piece of trash like you?"
Upon hearing this, the Second Domain Lord's face darkened instantly. Just as he was about to speak, Ling Yi's voice rang out again: "I am not afraid of you, nor am I afraid of the people you brought. After all, they are just as useless as you."
The group of cultivators who came with the Second Domain Lord to capture Ling Yi: "..."
They were originally just following orders and had no hatred for Ling Yi, but now, some cultivators felt dissatisfied. Fan couldn't help but retort to Ling Yi: "You're not that big of a person, but you have quite the big mouth."
"You'll soon find out who the real loser is."
“Yes, we’ll soon find out who the real trash is.” Ling Yi’s gaze swept over them. These people were all quite strong. They were carefully trained to work in the Domain Lord’s Mansion. Unlike the soldiers on the periphery, they could still draw hatred. If he killed them, their families would hate him, and then their families would send people to hunt him down, and the number of people would be even greater.
