He felt an extremely powerful Gold Evil Qi.

Without any hesitation, Han Yuan immediately activated the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill and began to frantically absorb the Gold Evil Qi.

’This guy... didn’t come here for weapons at all.’

’He must have come for this armory.’

Ji Chong sensed Han Yuan’s unusual activity and understood what was happening.

However, he didn’t stop Han Yuan.

After all, as far as he could see, he had no conflict with Han Yuan.

There was no need to offend Han Yuan over this matter.

Ji Chong even stood guard for Han Yuan.

Of course, even if Ji Chong hadn’t stood guard for him, the Orange Cat was there.

That was Han Yuan’s true reliance.

The current Orange Cat’s combat power was far more than just spitting fireballs. With its ability to shapeshift, its strength was in no way inferior to an Innate Grandmaster’s.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Han Yuan finally finished absorbing the Gold Evil Qi he needed.

At that moment, the Divine Blades in the armory seemed to be placated by some force and stopped their strange movements.

Seeing this, Han Yuan also called back his Heaven-Defying Saber.

Although the Sword Soul was reluctant, it didn’t dare defy Han Yuan’s will and could only retreat back into the blade.

Ji Chong watched this miraculous scene, lost in thought.

”Let’s go.”

”It seems someone is still alive.”

Han Yuan looked toward the depths of the armory.

He could feel a vast aura there.

It wasn’t just him; even Ji Chong sensed the aura and couldn’t help but nod.

The two of them headed deeper into the armory.

Before long, they saw a red-haired old man sitting cross-legged on an iron throne.

”Red Fire Ancestor?”

Seeing this person, Ji Chong called out tentatively.

He knew the Forging Soldiers Sect had a Divine Sea Realm ancestor.

But this ancestor was quite mysterious; even he had never met him.

”That is I.”

The red-haired old man opened his eyes and nodded softly.

Hearing him confirm his identity, Ji Chong hurriedly asked, ”I am Ji Chong from the Yan Province Celestial Net Department. May I ask, Red Fire Ancestor, what exactly happened to the Forging Soldiers Sect?”

”On our way here, we discovered that everyone from the Forging Soldiers Sect had vanished.”

Hearing this question, emotions like sorrow, guilt, and regret flashed through the Red Fire Ancestor’s eyes.

He fell silent.

Seeing this, Han Yuan and Ji Chong didn’t press him, waiting quietly instead.

They could tell that while the Red Fire Ancestor appeared calm, his emotions were actually at a breaking point.

If they said anything else to provoke him, they weren’t sure the two of them could handle a rampaging Divine Sea Realm ancestor.

After a long while, the Red Fire Ancestor’s emotions finally stabilized. He murmured to himself, ”The people of the Forging Soldiers Sect... are all dead.”

”And I... I am a coward... I sealed the armory... and hid in here to survive... watching helplessly as they died outside...”

His words sent shockwaves through Han Yuan and Ji Chong.

From those words alone, they could already piece some things together.

The Forging Soldiers Sect had indeed suffered a calamity... and this Divine Sea Realm ancestor must have been guarding the armory when it happened.

When he sensed the calamity befalling his sect, he retreated.

He sealed the armory and saved himself.

This led to the complete annihilation of everyone in the Forging Soldiers Sect.

”Senior... why did everyone from the Forging Soldiers Sect die?”

Han Yuan asked cautiously.

The moment Han Yuan asked this, Ji Chong’s muscles tensed, terrified that the Red Fire Ancestor would fly into a rage.

Hearing this, the Red Fire Ancestor’s emotions clearly became more agitated.

He said in a tone of immense self-blame, ”It was my fault... I was useless... I didn’t notice the change in the Source Seed Shredded Meat... It devoured everyone in the Forging Soldiers Sect...”

”I am a sinner. I should just die...”

Ji Chong said hastily, ”Red Fire Ancestor, calm down.”

He could feel that the Red Fire Ancestor’s own aura was becoming incredibly chaotic.

If this continued and he self-destructed, he and Han Yuan might not make it out alive.

Hearing Ji Chong’s words, the Red Fire Ancestor finally calmed down a little.

”Where is the Source Seed Shredded Meat now?”

Seeing the Red Fire Ancestor calm down a bit, Han Yuan asked again.

Ji Chong hadn’t expected Han Yuan to dare to continue questioning him.

But the Red Fire Ancestor seemed to have completely calmed down. He shook his head and said, ”I don’t know... After the Source Seed Shredded Meat devoured the people of the Forging Soldiers Sect, it left.”

”I don’t dare to leave this place... I don’t dare to see what the Forging Soldiers Sect looks like now!”

After saying this, the Red Fire Ancestor fell silent, sinking into deep guilt.

Han Yuan and Ji Chong exchanged a look.

They knew that the Red Fire Ancestor was completely broken.

In other words, his Dao Heart was shattered.

He no longer even had the courage to step out of the armory.

”Let’s go.”

Han Yuan said softly.

Ji Chong nodded, and left the Forging Soldiers Sect’s armory with Han Yuan.

”Brother Han, I must leave first.”

”The Source Seed Shredded Meat has now appeared in the world. No one knows what the situation is, so I must find its trail.”

”If the Source Seed Shredded Meat continues to grow, I’m afraid it will lead to a great disaster.”

Ji Chong said in a heavy voice.

After confirming the truth of what happened at the Forging Soldiers Sect, his heart grew heavy.

The matter of the Source Seed Shredded Meat was of grave importance. If not handled properly, not only Yan Province, but the entire Great Li Dynasty could suffer.

”Alright.”

”But Director Ji, perhaps you can find a way to motivate that Red Fire Ancestor.”

”He was a coward for a moment, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be a coward for a lifetime.”

Han Yuan said softly.

”Mm. Let’s let him calm down further first.”

Ji Chong nodded.

He was a Divine Sea Realm Martial Artist, after all.

If they could truly reawaken his fighting spirit, he would be of great use.

”Then I’ll take my leave as well.”

”If fate allows, we’ll meet again in the Martial World.”

Han Yuan said, cupping his fists.

”We’ll meet again in the Martial World.”

Ji Chong also cupped his fists.

After bidding farewell to Ji Chong, Han Yuan didn’t linger and swiftly returned to Changming Province City.

This encounter filled him with a growing sense of urgency.

Because with the emergence of the Source Seed Shredded Meat, even the power of the Great Li Dynasty might not be enough to suppress It.

It was highly likely that the Great Li Dynasty would fall into the same situation as the Great Ling Dynasty, so he had to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

....

More than half a month later, a travel-worn Han Yuan finally rushed back to Changming Province City.

As soon as Tan Yong heard that Han Yuan had returned, he came to report on the events of the past few days.

However, since Han Yuan had left, nothing major had happened. An Evil Demon Seed had appeared in a village, but it was quickly exterminated by the Celestial Net Department.

All things considered, it was very peaceful.

After listening, Han Yuan first praised Tan Yong a little, then instructed, ”Keep an eye on news from Yan Province for me. Something might be happening there soon.”

Tan Yong knew Han Yuan had gone to Yan Province during his time away. He didn’t ask any further questions and immediately said in a serious tone, ”This subordinate understands.”

”That will be all for now.”

”I need to go into seclusion for a while.”

”Same as always, you’ll handle anything that comes up.”

”If something happens, just wait until I’m out of seclusion.”

Han Yuan said with a small smile.

Tan Yong was used to Han Yuan’s style and nodded. ”Please rest assured, Supervisor.”

After Tan Yong left, Han Yuan went directly into a secret chamber and began his secluded Cultivation.

Thanks to this trip to the Forging Soldiers Sect, he had finally gathered all the Five Elements Evil Qi.

’This time, I must cultivate the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill to the Entry Stage.’

Han Yuan made up his mind.

He sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his Heart Spirit gradually sinking into a state of concentration.

At this moment, within his Dantian Qi Sea, the Innate Great Demon True Qi was mixed with five different colors.

Next, Han Yuan had to use the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Skill to transform the Innate Great Demon True Qi into Five Emperors Great Demon True Qi.

This transformation process was also extremely painful and came with enormous risks.

It was a life-or-death trial.

Out of ten people who cultivated the Innate Great Demon Skill, there might not be even one who could successfully complete the transformation.

The reason Dong Sen and Zheng Xi were able to become True Disciples was that they had successfully transformed their own True Qi and survived.

As for those who failed, they naturally turned into piles of dried bones.

When Han Yuan began the transformation, he finally understood just how terrifying it was.
