"Everyone, immediately adjust your breathing! Stabilize your cultivation and suppress your injuries!"

A majestic and chilling voice suddenly rang out, and Li Cang strode forward. His terrifying spiritual power at the peak of the fifth rank was not restrained; on the contrary, it surged even more violently, intimidating all directions.

At the same time, he took out bottles of healing pills made by the medical staff under the Martial Arts Department from his storage ring, and with a wave of his hand, he accurately delivered round pills, radiating endless vitality, to each person.

His gaze swept over all the injured prodigies and martial artists present, his expression solemn and cold, his eyes filled with chilling intent, his killing intent towards those treacherous parasites lurking in Jiangcheng reaching its peak.

hum!

With a thought, Li Cang felt the golden pagoda tremble gently, slowly shrinking until it transformed into a dazzling golden light, flying back into his palm. He casually put it away, then spoke in a deep voice:

"Wang Jianjun."

"Your subordinate is here!"

Wang Jianjun immediately stepped forward, his posture upright and his expression respectful and solemn.

"From this moment forward, the entire Jiangcheng Martial Arts Department shall obey my orders immediately. Issue a formal order to seal off the entire city of Jiangcheng from the outside, allowing entry but not exit; seal off this battlefield from the inside, and dispatch the technical department to extract all remaining traces of aura and spiritual energy fluctuations for headquarters to trace and deduce!"

"At the same time, all participants and all members of the martial arts department must be registered one by one, and a self-examination must be conducted from top to bottom, recording all details, especially their connections with those martial arts forces, and whether there have been any unusual actions in the past six months, leaving nothing out!"

"Furthermore, mobilize all of Jiangcheng's monitoring surveillance and spiritual energy tracking devices to search for Xue Luo's escape route! Putting aside his numerous crimes of colluding with local rebels and committing countless atrocities in Great Xia, his alien identity alone is enough to make us extremely vigilant. As long as he is not eliminated, Great Xia will never have peace!"

Li Cang's words were icy cold, filled with murderous intent.

"Yes!" Wang Jianjun responded and immediately took out his communication equipment, quickly issuing a series of emergency orders.

The martial arts department's technical staff immediately rushed to the ruins with highly professional equipment.

Immediately afterwards, a series of piercing alarms resounded throughout the city, and a solemn atmosphere of wartime permeated the air. Before long, a transparent light shield appeared above Jiangcheng, sealing off the entire city.

At the same time, all the major sects, martial arts families and other sects in Jiangcheng also received Li Cang's mandatory order. They were required to gather everyone at their respective residences. Anyone who disobeyed would be punished as a traitor. Don't say you weren't warned!

In that instant, everyone present tensed up, clearly sensing the overwhelming rage in the heart of this national-level expert.

If it were simply a matter of the Blood Sacrifice Cult causing trouble or an invasion by alien races, this national-level expert wouldn't be so angry. What angered him was that the local forces colluded with the Blood Soul Clan from beyond the realm, secretly plotting and working together to set up a deadly trap, intending to slaughter the pride of the Great Xia and severely damage their martial arts combat power. Such actions were tantamount to treason!

This is an monstrous crime that shakes the very foundation of the Great Xia martial arts!

Li Cang's gaze swept over the ravaged pit, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light. He spoke slowly, his voice resounding throughout the entire area:

"It's truly a pity that Xue Luo has escaped and is temporarily out of control. However, he used a forbidden technique to escape today, and was severely injured and also suffered from the power of the explosion. He will definitely not be able to recover his peak combat strength in a short time. During this period, we should focus on checking if there are any missing persons or mysterious deaths of animals."

Then, he paused, and the air pressure around him suddenly dropped, with a chilling aura spreading in all directions.

"But the real threat has never been the fleeing foreign tribes!"

"Colluding with alien races, they can accurately track the movements of my martial arts club, know the entire deployment of this encirclement, pre-plant deadly array patterns, precisely grasp the timing on the battlefield, and dare to abandon all pawns to silence witnesses..."

"Within the city of Jiangcheng, lurks a venomous snake that has been dormant for many years!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room shuddered, a chill running through them.

The Blood Sacrifice Cult is merely a clown jumping around on stage, and Blood Luo is just a pawn among the myriad races of the starry sky. What truly needs to be eliminated immediately is the native force that hides in the shadows, strategizing, reaping the benefits, and plotting against humanity itself at every turn!

They live in the Great Xia Dynasty and are protected by it. They cultivate the martial arts of the human race, yet they are willing to collude with other races and slaughter their own descendants. Their wickedness far surpasses that of beings from beyond the realm!

"In principle, we will not draw conclusions lightly without any evidence, but those old monsters in Jiangcheng who are stuck at the peak of the fourth rank, whose lifespan is exhausted, and who are eager to break through are key targets for observation."

Li Cang secretly transmitted his voice to Wang Jianjun and a few other high-ranking figures in the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Association.

In recent years, with the continuous rise of the Great Xia government, countless hidden forces have been forced to accept its jurisdiction. Among them are many righteous sects, but also many unscrupulous and indifferent to human life, as well as fallen ancient lineages.

They have been stuck in their current realm for many years, their lifespans are running out, and they have no hope of achieving the Great Dao. Therefore, once they encounter the bait offered by other races to help them break through their realm, they are very likely to take risks, betray their country, and collude with the enemy.

Not long after, a team of professionals arrived by car and quickly divided up dozens of search areas upon landing.

Top-of-the-line spiritual energy tracing devices, trace capture devices, and aura analyzers were all deployed, with pale blue spiritual energy scanning screens crisscrossing and crushing the scorched and collapsed earth inch by inch.

The technicians looked solemn as their fingers flew across the instruments, blue light flashing as they frantically extracted every last trace of energy from the battlefield.

Time passed by, second by second.

A full half hour passed.

Above the ruins, all the detection instruments fell silent, and the screens remained blank, with only the chaotic aftershocks of the explosion, the sinister aura of the Blood Sacrifice Cult, the lingering blood soul aura of Xue Luo, and the spiritual energy fluctuations of the martial artists present.

Apart from that, there was nothing else unusual.

"Old Li, the investigation is complete!"

The chief technology officer strode forward, his face grave, and bowed to report: "The battlefield debris screening is complete. There are no traces of unfamiliar foreign auras, no lingering echoes of hidden array patterns, and no fluctuations of third-party spiritual energy. All abnormal traces have been completely erased by the previous fourth-order explosion, leaving nothing behind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of all the martial arts club members present darkened.

The worst-case scenario has finally come to pass.

That devastating explosion wasn't just about slaughtering everyone; it was also a perfect, physical cleanup of the traces.

The person behind the scenes calculated with unparalleled precision, using the ultimate destructive power to burn all clues, sever all possibilities of tracing the source, and completely erase their own existence from this world, as if they had never appeared at all.

Li Cang's brows furrowed deeply, his eyes filled with solemnity and helplessness: "His methods are too clean... This person's control and understanding of energy far surpasses that of an ordinary fourth-tier martial artist, and is even comparable to a national guardian!"

With all the clues gone cold here, this shocking case of treason has become an unsolved mystery.

What's infuriating is that they clearly knew there was a traitor in Jiangcheng colluding with foreign tribes, and they knew that the traitor had just personally set up a deadly trap and slaughtered their own people. Yet, they had the will to kill but no way to do it. They could only watch helplessly as the person behind the scenes continued to go unpunished, continued to lurk and spy, and could unleash an even greater disaster at any moment!
