Chapter 705: Death of Sand Scorpion
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
One month passed after the battle in the tenth space ring .
Heavenly Saints City was the center of the world of Cultivators after all . When large batches of Cultivators crowded into the tenth space ring and slaughtered the devils together with the Grand Illusionary Soldiers, the only thing awaiting the extraterrestrial devils was doom .
One altar was destroyed after another, and the devils vanished into black smoke following each other .
However, since the environment of the tenth space ring was too complicated and too many citizens had been possessed by the devils, it took three days and three nights to finish off the remaining devils that were hiding among the broken walls and sewer systems, and it took another ten days before the last devil was finally killed .
During that time, most Immortal Cultivators retreated from the tenth space ring successfully and ran to space with the help of space pirates, before vanishing into thin air through space jumps .
The aftershock of the arrival of the extraterrestrial devils still echoed in the dozens of space zones of the Flying Star Sector one month later .
During the unprecedented catastrophe, not only had the ordinary citizens living in the tenth space ring suffered heavy casualties, the Cultivators who went to reinforce them had also witnessed a huge loss . Almost a hundred experts in the Core Formation Stage were injured or even killed . As for those below the Core Formation Stage, there were too many to count .
Many Cultivators had gone missing during the chaos . It was very likely that they self-detonated and died together with their enemy .
Sand Scorpion, the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, was one of them .
After more than half month of extensive searches, there was still no trace of him .
Cultivation was a dangerous profession . Every Cultivator had a habit of buying a huge amount of insurance and leaving a will .
The will not only applied to the cases where the Cultivators died, but also took effect when the Cultivators went missing, became mentally deranged, or secluded themselves for a long time .
When the Cultivators returned, recovered from their mental derangement, or broke their seclusion, the testament would expire immediately .
It was based on the special circumstances of Cultivators . After all, even the strongest expert was not certain that they would be perfectly safe during their daily training and that they could maintain their rationality forever .
Li Yao had managed to survive several attempted assassinations by the Temple of Immortals while he was in Flying Star University . One of the assassinations had even been conducted by an expert in the Core Formation Stage .
Therefore, he had made detailed arrangements to make sure that the Glorious Sunlight Group would not be affected when something happened to him .
In the central area of Heavenly Saints City, in the corridor outside the main meeting room, Xie Anan was pacing back and forth anxiously until she saw a grave young man . She hurried to run to him, almost tripping herself over .
"What about it? They said that they'd found traces of master . Is it true?"
Wu Mayan was much more solemn than a month ago and much more mature for his age .
He bit his lips hard, and his eyes were slightly red . He breathed heavily for a moment and nodded, but then he shook it after thinking for a moment .
Xie Anan bulged her eyes . "What happened? Say something?"
"The Rescue Committee found master's crystal suit . " Wu Mayan took a long breath before he continued . "It was not the Gold Wolf Battlesuit but the debris of a 'Fire Tyrant Battlesuit', a crystal suit that is ten times more advanced than the Gold Wolf Battlesuit!"
Xie Anan almost jumped to her feet when she heard the first half of the sentence, but she felt her head go dizzy when she heard the latter half . "Debris? How bad is the debris?"
"Very bad . " Wu Mayan gnashed his teeth . "More exactly, it is not debris but some tiny pieces . "
Xie Anan stumbled a few steps back . Her face lost all color, and she asked, her voice shivering, "How did they know that it was master's crystal suit?"
Wu Mayan replied gravely, "Master Xue Yuanxin and Master Huangpu Bo ran detailed analysis on the scraps of the crystal suit and found traces of a special manual forging method from them . Such a method was of master's own invention . He was the only one in the entire Flying Star Sector who knew it . You should be clearer about that than I am . "
Xie Anan's face was even paler . She mumbled, "But—but they didn't find master's body, did they?"
"Of course, there was no body . " Wu Mayan smiled bitterly . "Experts of the Rescue Committee found master's Gold Wolf Battlesuit ten kilometers away from where the scraps were found . They came to a conclusion after preliminary investigation and analysis .
"The Gold Wolf Battlesuit that master showed in front of everyone was not his real trump card . His real trump card was the Fire Tyrant Battlesuit, which was ten times stronger!
"The Gold Wolf Battlesuit was modified by master and Master Xue Yuanxin together . But master also hid a Fire Tyrant Battlesuit in secret and strengthened its key parts with his special technique . Maybe he even lowered the difficulty of operation . Nobody knew anything about it!
"It was not a spur-of-the-moment thing that master went to the central area of the tenth space ring . He made thorough plans, hoping to catch a big fish with himself as the bait and slay the fish with the 'Fire Tyrant Battlesuit'!
"But as it turned out…
