Chapter 372: The Grieving Venerable Li Yuanju

"So it's an Emperor Rank Formation!"

"I didn't expect the first Emperor Rank Formation I mastered to be this Liangyi Isolation Formation."

Su Lang gave a speechless smile, then turned off the octahedral Formation Plate in his hand and put it into his Storage Space.

"Next, it's time to release the Treasure-Seeking Flying Squirrels and scavenge the treasures between heaven and earth!"

"But before that, I still need to clean up this battlefield!"

While thinking, Su Lang released the Green Lotus Dragon Pattern Fire, burning Li Qiming's body directly.

Immediately after, he released the Profound Cloud Pure Moon Fire to clear away the various residual scents in the surroundings.

"Nice!"

Having finished all this, the corner of Su Lang's mouth curled up, and he flew into the distance with a hint of excitement.

Inside the Tatian Stronghold, time wound back a few minutes.

Just as Li Qiming was slain by Su Lang's sword, the Life Tablet Li Qiming had only recently established suddenly developed tiny cracks and then lost its luster.

"This is!?"

"Qiming has fallen!?"

Venerable Li Yuanju, the Li family Martial Venerable responsible for guarding the Life Tablets, had his eyes bulge out, his face filled with endless disbelief and grief.

"This isn't true!"

"Qiming just arrived at the Canglan Continent; not even a single day has passed. How could he have fallen just like that!"

"Moreover, he had already broken through to become a Primary Martial Venerable. How could he fall… something is wrong, there must be a problem with the Life Tablet!"

Venerable Li Yuanju reached out and tremblingly picked up Li Qiming's Life Tablet.

After a brief inspection, his eyes nearly split from rage and turned bloodshot, his old face twisting beyond recognition from the pain!

Li Qiming's Life Tablet was exactly the same as those of the other fallen Human Race Students!

He was truly dead!

"No!!"

Venerable Li Yuanju wailed loudly, his shrill voice instantly spreading throughout the entire Tatian Stronghold!

"What's going on!?"

"That sounds like Senior Li Yuanju's voice!"

"His voice is so sorrowful; someone must have fallen!"

"Heavens, Senior Li has guarded the Life Tablets for years and has long been accustomed to life and death. For him to lose his composure like this, could it be… which big figure has fallen this time?"

"A big figure? It couldn't be… a Martial God…"

"Shut your mouth! How could Lord Yan Hengxing fall!?"

"Come, let's go see for ourselves."

"…"

Venerable Li Yuanju's tragic cry alarmed the entire Tatian Stronghold.

Countless people speculated on who had fallen. Even Senior Lu Bai and the others personally rushed to find Venerable Li Yuanju.

Not long after, while everyone was incredibly anxious, the identity of the fallen person was announced.

It was Li Qiming!

"No wonder Senior Li is so sad. Li Qiming was the most terrifying Genius in the history of the Li family. His fall is a massive blow to the Li family!"

"Li Qiming's Aptitude was Heaven-Defying; he reached the Primary Martial Venerable level at such a young age, yet he fell in the prime of his life. Fate is truly cruel!"

"Exactly. He only arrived at the Tatian Stronghold today. I even saw him challenging the Training Tower earlier. If not for Su Lang, he would have been the brightest star. What a pity!"

“Phew! I, for one, am relieved. Li Qiming falling is better than some other important Martial Venerable falling.”

"True, true. I was really scared to death just now. Fortunately, it wasn't one of those Seniors…"

After the Students finished their lamentations, they gradually put the matter out of their minds.

Li Qiming, a Genius who appeared like a flash in the pan, was forgotten just like that before he could even leave much of an impression in their minds.

Of course, some people would not forget.

"Senior Lu Bai! This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

Venerable Li Yuanju slumped before Senior Lu Bai and the others, old tears streaming down his face in deep sorrow.

"Venerable Yuanju, rest assured, we will definitely investigate this to the end!"

Senior Lu Bai stroked his beard, his expression somewhat grim. "I will immediately send people to trace Li Qiming's movements before his death, find the place where he died, and then hunt down the killer!"

Venerable Li Yuanju closed his eyes and slowly bowed. "This old man… thanks Senior Lu Bai!"

Soon, under the full investigation of Senior Lu Bai and the others, Li Qiming's movements before his death were clearly laid out before them.
