Chapter 2071 Incomprehensible Discovery

The huge square looked shabby, with huge cracks on the hard boulder ground, and deep gullies plowed out in many places.

There were more fragments of magic weapons here, and what made several people nervous was that many corpses appeared here, scattered in the square.

Because of the long time, these corpses had lost their flesh and blood, leaving only some skeletons, still supporting the clothes outside.

But those skeletons were also severely damaged, and there were few intact ones. Only from the spread clothes, it can be seen that it was probably a human figure.

Most of the clothes on these people were basically similar, and they should belong to the same party.

But this cannot be determined that those people with different clothes are the cultivators of the other party. After all, there are disciples in the same sect who do not like to wear sect clothes.

Elder Hao took a step out of thin air and arrived at a place where there were huge stones lifted by powerful magic, and in front of one of the huge stones, there was a skeleton.

This skeleton was relatively well preserved, sitting there with legs stretched forward, head and arms gone, his back resting on a boulder.

After arriving here, Elder Hao scanned this person carefully.

Li Yan and Master Lan were still staying where they were, but while they were looking around, they were also looking at some corpses one by one.

"These black clothes, with a word 'Soul' embroidered on the right chest, are from the 'Soul Prison Clan' monks, which is explained in detail in the information left by the three ancestors."

Elder Hao's voice came over faintly, and he looked up again.

In this extremely wide square, there are three or four hundred people wearing such clothes, and there are about five hundred corpses left here.

In addition, the remaining one hundred or so people were not wearing the clothes of the "Soul Prison Clan" monks, and many of them were left with only a pile of clothes on the ground, and even the skeletons had disappeared.

Elder Hao then flew to other corpses. After Li Yan and Master Lan looked at each other, they understood the meaning of Elder Hao's words and flew to some corpses.

The three of them were checking the corpses wearing the clothes of the "Soul Prison Clan". They could judge the cause of their death after checking.

Not long after, the three stood next to two corpses not far away.

"None of the people I checked had fatal injuries on their bones. They should have died of fatal internal injuries!"

After Li Yan checked dozens of people in succession, he said softly, and his eyes flashed several times quickly.

"The people I checked were also in this situation. There were no direct and fatal sharp injuries. Maybe... they were killed by soul attacks!"

Master Lan pointed to the corpse at her feet. She had just pulled open some of the clothes on the skeletons, but when she said this, there was already an expression of disbelief in her eyes.

And this was also where Li Yan felt puzzled. After checking some people, he also guessed what their fatal injuries were.

But he didn't say it directly, and when Master Lan said that, Elder Hao frowned even more. He had already made relevant guesses when he was in the underground cell before.

The fragments of magic weapons that appeared there were all owned by soul cultivators, and the cause of death of the "Soul Prison Clan" cultivators who were killed again was also very likely to be killed by soul magic.

After Li Yan and Master Lan finished their respective speeches, they immediately walked towards the cultivators in different costumes. Now that the approximate cause of death of the "Soul Prison Clan" cultivators has been determined.

Then the rest of the people can be checked next, so that they can have a better comparison reference. The other party is also a soul cultivator in nine out of ten cases.

Just the preliminary inspection results have made Elder Hao feel extremely bad, and an unbelievable thought lingers.

"Could it be that there is an internal fight in the Soul Prison Clan, but this is the same clan..."

This situation reminded Elder Hao of the situation in the "Earth True Domain" in the past, where there were more than one fight between soul cultivators.

Even inside the "Soul-Calming Palace", there were some big problems, but the intensified conflicts there were due to the lack of cultivation resources and the search for an exit.

For a tribe that can normally go in and out of the outside world, their cultivation resources are not too tight, and there is no suppression from the Heavenly Dao when they advance in cultivation, so there will not be such acute problems.

On the contrary, because the outside cultivators covet the soul cultivators, the "Soul Prison Clan" knows that they must stick together for warmth, so why do they have to kill each other?

And soon he thought of a possibility, but he couldn't believe it, and he thought that if the third ancestor was there, he would definitely find it very absurd.

"... When the third ancestor left the tribe, he said that there were still the Great Ancestor and the Third Ancestor's lineage left here. Could it be that there was a problem between these two branches?"

Elder Hao had a strange thought in his mind for a while.

He felt that if this was true, then the most likely reason for this was the disappearance or death of the Great Ancestor.

I wonder how the Second Ancestor dealt with this matter later? This may have caused dissatisfaction among the Great Ancestor, so a war broke out.

"But this would not lead to the extinction of the two tribes. Besides, who could be the opponent of the Second Ancestor in the tribe at that time? Even he failed to control the deterioration of the situation in the end..."

In just a short period of time, various thoughts kept emerging, but Elder Hao was not sure about his final speculation.

But according to the description of the Third Ancestor, the Second Ancestor had a deep brotherly love for the Great Ancestor, so it is not impossible that he was plotted against by someone he trusted.

The only thing that cannot be explained here is that all the people here disappeared, and it is obviously impossible to die together.

"...It should be that after a huge change happened here, no matter which side was left, those people felt that this place was no longer suitable for survival.

Instead, they chose to leave here completely, which is the only explanation, but why are these corpses left here..."

Elder Hao thought of many things in this very short time.

"Is this... soul crystal bud?"

Just as Elder Hao was thinking quickly, Master Lan's surprised voice suddenly came from the side, but there was doubt in his voice.

…………

Master Lan stood in front of a pile of clothes. There were not many things left here, and the clothes were still supported by some things.

Master Lan just came over to check and found that this person's death did not seem to be the result of a soul cultivator's attack, but it seemed that his body was broken by someone, and only a little bone was left in the end.

She just waved her hand lightly, and the small pile of clothes flew up, and then a small piece of something fell out of the clothes.

This piece of thing was only more than one foot long, as thick as a baby's arm, and the whole body was gray, giving people a feeling of extreme decay and imminent weathering.

And during the fall, it did not turn into a pile of powder and blew away, but fell straight to the ground and broke into several pieces.

Master Lan first glanced at it and found that this thing looked like a human spine, but she felt that it looked familiar.

"A human spine should not be so thick. Is this the skeleton of some unknown monster?"

Master Lan's heart moved. She had seen too many materials for alchemy and refining, and some monster bones were quite strange.

She immediately realized that the person who fought with the "Soul Prison Clan" was some kind of monster that knew how to attack souls?

Master Lan was shocked when she thought of this. Of course, there are monsters that know how to attack souls in the world, but they are extremely rare and are also legendary beasts.

So she wrapped her hands with magic power, and with a light move, the broken bones flew in front of her while still falling on the ground.

Master Lan then retracted his magic power and connected the pieces together again, but when she looked at it again, she couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

Because this piece of "bone" turned out to be the "Soul Crystal Bud" that only existed in the 'Earth True Domain'!

She didn't think she could recognize the piece of thing in front of her wrongly. For too many years, this thing had accompanied her in cultivation and growth.

Master Lan also spent a lot of time outside the "Earth True Domain" and often appeared in various markets, mainly to see various materials.

She had never seen the "Soul Crystal Bud" in the outside world, and even after she transformed her appearance, she took it out in some shops in the market and asked the shopkeepers to identify it, but no one could recognize what it was?

However, the soul power fluctuations emitted by the "Soul Crystal Bud" let those merchants know that this is a very rare unknown treasure, and they are vying to buy it...

Master Lan later determined that the "Soul Crystal Bud" should only be found in the "Earth True Domain", but today the "Soul Crystal Bud" was found here...

Her voice immediately attracted the attention of the other two, and Elder Hao flashed and arrived here!

On the other side, Li Yan, after rolling up a piece of clothing, was staring at the bone on the ground. He felt that this bone was seriously eroded by time.

Then he heard Master Lan's voice, and his expression was slightly startled, and he immediately looked at the "bone" in the clothes underground.

Then his expression changed, but he flashed and came to Master Lan's side.

At this moment, Elder Hao was looking at the air, where a gray bone was suspended. He first used his spiritual sense to sweep it, and then another soul power instantly enveloped it...

It took only half a breath for Elder Hao to let out a light exclamation.

"Huh? This is really a 'Soul Crystal Bud', and there are traces of soul power inside, but how can there be such a thick 'Soul Crystal Bud'?

This... How many years does it take to grow to this extent?"

The expression on Elder Hao's face also changed immediately.

He can be sure that this piece of "bone" must be a "Soul Crystal Bud", but even he has never seen such a large piece of "Soul Crystal Bud".

And like Master Lan, he only has this thing in the "Earth True Domain" and has never seen it in the Immortal Spirit Realm, but how did this thing appear in the mortal world?

"Could it be that someone in the 'Soul Prison Clan' once got the seeds of the 'Soul Crystal Bud', because they found that there was soul power in it, and then planted this thing in the clan?"

Elder Hao and Master Lan looked at each other quickly, and then he immediately spoke.
