Rabbit with one hand holding the Red Crystal Ball is watching a holographic video of a forest with Squirrel, Dog, Wolf, and Crow mask people.
Rabbit's entire body tense when she heard that Turtle died," What happened?"
In the holographic video, the four look at each other, and Squirrel starts speaking.
Rabbit after hearing from Squirrel. Rabbit understood what transpired. And How do turtles die? Remain silent.
This cannot be blamed on them. Who knew a Grandmaster would be present in the town? So now she has to alter her plan. They will not be able to kill the bronze mountain cultivator, and it is even more impossible now, with the Grandmaster present.
Rabbit thinks, "How did the Grandmaster appear in Jian town in thin air?" Before, when they investigated the White Stone Mountains, there were no Grandmaster warriors in the Eagle Head White Stone Mountains.
Because of the Grandmaster, her plan failed, when because of a variable her plan failed. She later kills and tortures the variable for obstructing her plans. So she asked, " Dog, Squirrel, you two spend three months in the eagle head shape white stone mountains but you did not know there is a grandmaster in the town?"
The dog took a glance at the squirrel, " This is the first time, I have seen the Grandmaster."
Squirrel remembers when Turtle used the bone flag, many unfamiliar people were coming out from the alley to support the Grandmaster, " Rabbit, I think Grandmaster arrived at Jian town today because of the storm. The Grandmaster came to Jian town."
Hearing Squirrel speaking, Crow and Wolf look at each other, as their mind feel guilty. If they did not attack the ship of the Grandmaster. Then the Grandmaster would have passed the Harbor of Jian town when the storm started by the turtle.
Rabbit thinks for a moment, she murmurs, Jian town falls in the way between Wutan City and the immortal market. And the two places multiple Grandmasters are present at any given time. Wolf and Crow were in charge of Wuhan city, then they must know," Did you two recognize the Grandmaster."
Crow spoke before Wolf could speak, " I am not sure, the Grandmaster was surrounded by his true energy. The downpour and the true energy obscure the Grandmaster's face."
Rabbit hearing Crow, got agitated and unable to control her emotions.
If any of her plans fail, she becomes agitated and unable to control her emotions which stops her practice.
Refining spiritual energy from outside with her energy requires a calm mind. So, If she does not remove the human variable that causes the failure of her plan, her mind will not be calm.
Squirrel seeing Rabbit silent for a minute asks the main question," Rabbit, what we are going to do now?"They are now unable to kill the Bronze Mountain sect cultivator. And the increasing amount of time they remain in eagle head shape mountains, the danger to them increases.
Rabbit hearing Squirrel's question, ponders for the answer to the question for a moment, " All of you return here. Snake enters the Mid-level refining energy realm. So, no Corpse are needed to absorb the dead energy in the ruin."
Hearing this the four sigh and relief and end the call.
-----
Two hours Later,
In the Town's Lord dining room, Rain is watching Old Gu still injured bandage on his head and left hand in a sling stuffing himself with food.
He is happy that Old Gu successfully broke through Grandmaster and increased his life span by 20 years. Old Gu's silver hairs change into a darker shade of Grey. But Old Gu will not be able to fight at his full strength for one month. Old Gu fighting a Grandmaster Skeleton monster with his half-step Grandmaster body is not without a price.
Rain's attention turns to the door of the room and sees the Bronze Mountain cultivator enter the room. He introduces himself as Mu Jiru.
He, Xue Lin, Gao Li, and Old Gu were waiting for Mu Jiru to come. Because only he can clear their confusion.
After the fight, Xue Lin shares further details of Earth Devil Palace.
Rain guessed was right that The Earth Devil Palace is connected to the lifeforms of the black ocean in the Soul World.
When Earth Devil Palace was founded they were not like where everyone beats them. The practice of Earth Devil Palace causes the situation when breaking through the Human Core Realm they summon a Outer World Devil and form a symbiote relation with the devil.
And use the energy of the devil to break through the Human Core Realm. The ultimate goal of the creator of the practice is to swallow the symbiote devil and break through the Star Immortal Realm. As the Outer World Devil cannot be killed only be sealed or exiled from their world. But still, now nobody from the Earth Devil palace succeeded in the Practice.
And the reason they are blacklisted by all the righteous forces of the world and a bounty is given on the dead body of Earth Devil Palace cultivators is after the symbiote is formed with the Outer World Devil there are consequences. The Devil will not silently take their situation of ultimately swallow by their cultivator they will fight back and the cultivator to control the Devil.
They perform the objective of the devil of descending in the world is to kill all sentient living beings of the world. So the cultivator performs the objective of the devil and sacrifices living beings to their symbiote devil to keep it silent.
Now Rain wants to know why the Five Earth Devil Palace Cultivators besieging Mu Jiru. So, He waits for Mu Jiru to sit. So, he can ask this question but he is slow.
Xue Lin asks the question, as Mu Jiru is seated," Senior Mu, What reason was the Five Earth Devil Palace cultivator besieging You?"
Mu Jiru hearing Xue Lin's question, takes a breath looks everyone in the room in the eye, and speaks," I came upon their secret plan. And to stop me from making the plan known to the world, they wanted to silence me."
" And they will succeed If friend Rain did not help me."
Rain," Senior Mu, I do not think you need help. Before I joined the fight they were not able to do anything to you." Rain calls Mu Jiru, Senior Mu even though they are in the same realm only on different paths because he is one small realm lower than Mu Jiru and by looking Mu Jiru seems 5 to 10 years older than him.
Mu Jiru may be more as Immortal Cultivators every small realm breakthrough after entering the refining energy realm increases their life span.
Mu Jiru waving his hand spoke," I was doing ok then but my energy was consuming rapidly, and as more time passed they would have exhausted my energy and killed me. So without your assistance, I may have died."
Mu Jiru continued, " And if you want to know what secret I discover the Earth Devil Palace wants to kill me." He stood up, and said, "Follow me."
Rain and his group look at each other. And also get up and old gu also stop eating and gets up with them. And start following Mu Jiru.
In the living room, they were met with the Town Lord, who spoke with Mu Jiru," Lord Mu You's discussion finished."
Mu Jiru responds," I am going to take them to the underground secret room of your house. Can you open the formation?"
Town Lord," Of course."
Rain and his group follow them and stop behind them in front of a door. Where the town lord put his palm on the door and a light flashed on the door.
And then the town lord pushes open the door. Town lord and Mu Jiru seeing the door open start to walk the stairs below and Rain and his group follow behind.
After reaching the end of the stairs, Rain found himself in a corridor going straight ahead with doors on both sides. Rain watch Mu Jiru open the door to the right and enter it.
Rain and his group enter the room behind and the scene inside the room shocks Rain. The room was filled with people lying down and tied to their beds in chains.
Xue Lin," Senior Mu, what is this?"
Rain carefully observed and found the aura of the people. He counted seven people sleeping and the aura belonged to half-step Grandmaster. Rain is amazed by the seven-half-step Grandmaster in a small town. Rain then noticed that the skin color of the seven-half-step grandmaster was pale white and Rain felt he had seen them somewhere. Then the soul chip reminds Rain that their pale white skin color is similar to the color of his skin after he practices the corpse transformation exercise.
Mu Jiru answers Xue Lin, " All of them started practicing the Corpse transformation exercise. But they do not know when the transformation is complete and enter the Grandmaster realm. They will lose control of themselves and become puppets for the Earth Devil Palace."
