"boom!……"
Before the old general's body could reach the Supreme Yuan Lord, it exploded and turned into a ball of blood mist, dissipating invisible.
The battle flag he held in his hand fell to the ground with a "swish" sound.
Immediately, the world in the shadow fell into deathly silence again.
The huge monster transformed by the Yuan Lord then quietly shrank in size, and finally turned into a towering tree, facing the small battle flag in the distance.
The entire world was once again shrouded in gray mist.
The battle in the shadow almost disappeared in an instant.
If they hadn't been able to vaguely see the battle flag and the towering demonic tree, everyone would probably have thought that it was just an illusion.
As for the scene in the virtual shadow, when this scene was fixed, the originally silent stands once again erupted into an ear-splitting uproar.
In the spiritual mirror watching the battle, shouts from all over the world also kept ringing out——
"This...when did this happen?"
"Why have I never heard of such a heroic battle between humans and demons?"
"Tai Haijun, have you heard of this Ta Haijun?"
"I have traveled around the world for hundreds of years, but I have never heard of this navy!"
"I understand, this Xu Taiping must have randomly intercepted a scene to divert our attention, thereby excusing him!"
At the end of the discussion, not only the monks in front of the spiritual mirror, but also the monks watching the battle in the stands of Tianzhu Peak, most of them thought that this was a scene fabricated by Xu Taiping out of thin air.
At this time, Mu Yuchen on Jianping was the first to question:
"Xu Taiping, at this time, you still dare to use this kind of thing to tease us, do you think we don't have eyes?"
Palace Master Liu Chuxuan also frowned and said:
"Xu Taiping, if you want to prove your innocence, please provide conclusive evidence."
However, before Xu Taiping could speak, Zhenjun Xuan Ming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:
"I have heard of this navy more than a thousand years ago."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they all looked at True Lord Xuan Mi.
Even Xu Taiping was a little curious as to why True Lord Xuan Mi had heard of the Treading Navy, so he did not rush to explain and also looked at True Lord Xuan Mi quietly.
True Lord Xuan Mi did not show off, and directly explained to everyone:
"I was training in the Dry Stone Sea at that time, and I stayed there for ninety years, so I became familiar with many of the ancestors who originally lived near the Dry Stone Sea."
"Among them, there is an ancestor tribe who claims that their ancestors were dragon slayers."
"Every year, they will be..."
When he said this, Zhenjun Xuan Ming paused for a moment, looked at Xu Taiping deeply, and then continued:
"Everyone will offer sacrifices to the sea near the ruins of Jinting Cave in the Sea of Dry Stones. It is said that they are offering sacrifices to an army that is hiding here with the demon dragon to guard them."
"And the name of this army is called Sea-Treading Flag."
Hearing this, Palace Master Liu Chuxuan looked at Xu Taiping in surprise and said:
"There is actually a marching navy."
Zhenjun Xuanmin suddenly shook his head again and said:
"But the Tread Marines whom the ancestors mourned not only died in battle with the dragon, but also died at least more than 200,000 years ago."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Xu Taiping with strong doubts once again.
Mu Yuchen was even more excited and said:
"Even if the scene in the phantom is real, what does it have to do with the death of Elder Lou and the others?"
As she said that, she turned to look at True Lord Xuan Mi and Liu Chuxuan, and begged: "Palace Master Liu, True Lord Know!"
Liu Chuxuan and Xuan Mizhenjun did not answer Mu Yuchen, but both looked at Xu Taiping.
Obviously, the phantom that Xu Taiping had just let them see was enough for the two of them to give Xu Taiping a chance to explain.
After all, the monsters in that scene were Yuan Lord-level monsters. You must know that in the Jiu Abyss, the Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor can be replaced at will. Only this Yuan Lord is a unique existence in every abyss of the Jiu Abyss.
Facing the looks from Zhenjun Xuan Mi and Liu Chuxuan, Xu Taiping once again placed his hand on the stepping stone monument and said at the same time:
"Although the scene just now is not directly related to the death of several seniors, it is the origin of everything."
After hearing what Xu Taiping said, the doubts in everyone's eyes became obviously stronger.
Xu Taiping, after injecting another stream of true energy into the sea-stepping monument, continued:
"About 300,000 years ago, the Tenth Demonic Abyss once again descended into the upper realm of the Pure World in the form of a demon species."
"And the location is the current Golden Court Cave of Dry Stone."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the high-level monks from the Shangqing Realm, including the leader Zhao Qian on the Jianping Ping, showed a look of shock.
The younger generation of monks, such as Chu Yinan, Mu Yun and others, looked confused.
Because in their understanding, there has always been only the Nine Abyss in this world, and there is no such thing as the Tenth Demonic Abyss.
Mu Yuchen, who did not trust Xu Taiping at first, sneered with disdain after hearing these words:
"Xu Taiping, do you know what you are talking about? In order to escape guilt, you can actually fabricate things like the Tenth Demonic Abyss that do not exist at all!"
But as soon as Mu Yuchen finished speaking, she heard a very stern scolding sound, which suddenly exploded from beside her——
"Mu Yuchen, shut up!~"
Turning around, she saw a humanoid shadow appearing between her and Mu Yun at some point.
After seeing the figure clearly, Mu Yuchen and Mu Yun's expressions changed greatly, and they immediately knelt down and said:
"Pavilion Master!"
This phantom is none other than Mu Zhixing, the master of Guangling Pavilion.
Na Mu Zhixing ignored the two of them, but looked at Xu Taiping with sharp eyes and said:
"Did you really meet the Master of the Tenth Demonic Abyss in the Demon Cave?"
Looking at Mu Zhixing who came to the sword platform in the form of a soul, Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:
"That's right."
Mu Zhixing asked eagerly:
"Where's the evidence?"
Xu Taiping knew that no matter how many people he saw in front of him, he would still be suspicious. It just so happened that he also found the soul imprint that True Lord Yunhe had placed in the Sea-Treading Monument.
So he took out another moon shadow stone and prepared to show the scene in the soul imprint of True Lord Yunhe to everyone through the moon shadow stone on his left hand.
"Senior, you should see for yourself."
Just as Xu Taiping was talking like this, a shadow rose from the Moon Shadow Stone in his hand.
Immediately, everyone heard a clear voice coming from the shadow——
"Everyone, I'm here with True Lord Yunhe from Yunsheng Tower."
That's right, this divine soul mark was left by True Lord Yunhe to prevent a few people from dying at the hands of Master Shiyuan Yuan, as a reminder to those who came after him.
At that time, several people had not even thought about sealing the soul mark in the Sea-Treading Monument.
Just when the voice sounded, the face of True Lord Yunhe also appeared in the shadow.
Appearing together with the phantom of True Monarch Yunhe, there were Xu Taiping, Evil Lord Qingtong, the elder of Lou Da and the owner of Yi Zhu Lou who were busy cleaning the battlefield behind him.
"It's really Lord Yunhe~"
"Elder Lou!"
"The owner of Yizhu Tower is here too!"
"And the Evil Lord with Green Eyes and Xu Taiping himself!"
There were exclamations inside and outside Jianping.
However, as True Lord Yunhe’s next words rang out, the place fell silent——
"When you see this divine soul mark, most of us should be dead."
