Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1099: Chapter 533: Nine Great True Spirit Clans, the History of the Northern Continent (Part 3)

Of course, they didn’t dare to blatantly speak these words, lest they invite great trouble.

But in any case, Sima Bei’s death had already shaken the upper echelons of the Sima Clan.

Especially infuriating Patriarch Sima Yan.

At this moment, numerous elders of the Sima Clan were gathered to discuss the matter.

"Who exactly laid hands on Sima Bei? Was it a rival clan, or those Demon Cultivators?"

Clan Leader Sima Yan shouted angrily.

He was utterly furious now.

Although he had many sons and daughters, Sima Bei was considered highly talented.

He was born with a rich True Spirit Bloodline.

Thus, Sima Bei was cherished, having all kinds of privileges and resources.

He had high hopes for this son.

Perhaps one day, he could take his place as the next Clan Leader.

But now, suddenly, he was killed.

All the past nurturing and the many expended resources were in vain.

His first thought was that Sima Bei’s killer might be members of other True Spirit Clans.

Or perhaps those audacious Demon Cultivators.

There was no need to mention the members of other True Spirit Clans.

Although they were all True Spirit Clans, there was competition among them.

For countless millennia past, they had struggled innumerable times over cultivation resources.

A deep enmity had been left behind.

If the enemy was another True Spirit Clan, it wouldn’t be surprising.

As for Demon Cultivators, that goes without saying. Those guys are simply lunatics.

They are no longer considered human.

So whatever they do is quite normal.

"It’s neither someone from the True Spirit Clans nor Demon Cultivators."

"It seems to be a mysterious cultivator, and we currently don’t know who the other party is."

"But it seems their cultivation is at least in the Divinity Transformation stage."

"Moreover, the culprit didn’t even leave, still remaining at the scene."

An elder of the Sima Clan spoke in a deep voice.

At the moment of Sima Bei’s death, the nearby cultivators of the Sima Clan promptly launched an investigation.

They discovered that the killer was a mysterious cultivator.

But they couldn’t clearly see what the other looked like.

It was as if the other was shrouded by a mysterious power.

No matter how hard they probed, they could only vaguely see a ball of light.

Even if they managed to memorize it with great effort, they would soon forget, leaving a blurred memory.

"Still staying at the scene? Truly arrogant."

"Is this an active challenge to our Sima Clan?"

"It’s been so many years; who would have thought an ordinary cultivator would dare to strike against our True Spirit Clans?"

Clan Leader Sima Yan was both shocked and furious.

If the killer was a Demon Cultivator or a cultivator from another True Spirit Clan, so be it.

But the fact the other party was merely a Loose Cultivator was truly audacious.

When had their Sima Clan ever been looked down upon by a Loose Cultivator to this extent?

It was simply outrageous.

"So, it’s another fool seeking death, is it?"

"Such ants always appear one after another; it’s truly loathsome."

"This time, let me personally take action."

"Having just advanced to the First-Layer Void Refining, I shall let those ants witness the power of a True Spirit Clan."

At this moment, an elder in a white robe flew over from a distance.

He was none other than Supreme Elder Sima Lun of the Sima Clan, a cultivator at the First-Layer Void Refining stage.
