Emperor's Domination

Chapter 6081: Secrecy

“This is it, right?” Six-style would think she was in the wrong place if it wasn’t for the maelstroms due to the emptiness, looking like a plate licked clean by a dog.

“Was it cleaned up?” She continued.

After all, there should be broken continents, shattered weapons, or remnants of the progenitors.

“Yes, someone cleaned it up.” Li Qiye agreed that this was the cleanest battlefield he had seen.

“Hmm, for treasures and corpses?” Six-style said.

“You’ve ever seen scavengers or treasure-seekers clean the battlefield with their tongue?” Li Qiye joked because the place was so empty.

“Right, this doesn’t make sense.” She agreed.

“Indeed, someone dealt with the aftermath meticulously, not leaving a trace behind.” Li Qiye said.

“But why?” She didn’t understand.

Was the target still Dingtian’s reincarnation or someone else? Given the present, the progenitors most likely lost.

“Would an overlord or something greater bother to clean the battlefield after killing some progenitors?” Li Qiye asked.

“I don’t know.” She thought if the target were as powerful as an overlord or an immortal, killing progenitors was not a big deal.

“Maybe a third party?” She speculated.

“It isn’t Xian Chengtian, of course. Nevertheless, this concealing attempt makes it interesting.” Li Qiye said.

“Do you have any idea who it is? Another traitor, perhaps? ” She asked.

“Just being a traitor isn’t that serious, it’s not like there haven’t been traitors before.” Li Qiye said.

“That’s true.” Six-style agreed because despite being a traitor, Xian Chengtian still reached the apex of their world.

Li Qiye turned his sight back on the battlefield, determined to perform a more thorough analysis. After a while, he focused on one of the maelstroms and pulled something out.

His eyes narrowed as he took a look at the object in his hand.

“This is...” Six-style was startled when she saw it.

It looked like a bell at first but could be a tiny cage - a pendant to be worn around the neck.

“We saw it back at Currency Exchange.” She said.

“Yes, this is it.” He nodded.

“Pawned by Xian Baihui.” She murmured.

The two pendants were identical with one exception - this one didn’t have any light, only an empty shell.

“So this belonged to Baibui too?” She asked.

“No.” He shook his head: “It’s a technique but not Jiao Heng’s, strange. Who imitated who?”
