119: Chapter 119 Died in an Accident? Ling Yan Breakthrough

"Moreover, so many top-tier ability users dying at once without any news getting back... if it really was done by fierce beasts, then those beasts would be far too terrifying..."

"Even a ninth-rank Beast King would find it difficult to prevent so many ability users from sending out any messages..."

"And if there really were such terrifying fierce beasts, why hasn't anyone else detected even a trace of movement..."

"More importantly, all these ability users were participants in the World Martial Arts Competition, with no other ability users involved. This is too illogical..."

Qin Hao continued, his eyes flickering with profound light.

After hearing Qin Hao's words, everyone fell into thought.

"Perhaps someone is really secretly eliminating the top ability users from each country competing in the World Martial Arts Competition!"

Ye Wushang let out a heavy breath and spoke with some agreement.

The explanation of a ninth-rank Beast King taking action was reasonable, yet also too unreasonable...

However, what Ye Wushang didn't quite understand was that currently, within the Ancient Mystic Realm, there were only the ability users from these competing nations.

If ability users from another country were responsible, then why have ability users from every country suffered losses?

Such indiscriminate killing wouldn't have much impact on the outcome of the World Martial Arts Competition.

Besides, to kill so many ability users from different countries so swiftly... the strength required...

Countless threads of information swirled in Ye Wushang's mind. He faintly felt he was grasping something crucial, but it always seemed just out of reach.

"Those ability users, including our Huaxia's Liu Wen, were likely killed by people from Country M!"

At that moment, a clear, cold voice sounded.

Not far away, a girl dressed in white battle armor, radiating an icy aura, walked over slowly.

"Ling Yan, people from Country M? That can't be. Two of their own ability users died!"

Mu Qinghuang frowned upon hearing Chu Lingyan's words.

"What if those two ability users from Country M died by accident?"

Chu Lingyan continued.

"Country M's contestants died by accident!"

Once Chu Lingyan finished speaking, Ye Wushang felt a sudden flash of insight, all the confusion in his mind clearing up.

Yes, they had all fallen into a misconception, believing the ability users from these countries all died for the same reason.

However, Country M's ability users went missing the day before, while those from other countries disappeared the next day.

If Country M's ability users died by accident, then everything made sense.

Having lost two of their own key members, Country M didn't want to be at a disadvantage in the World Martial Arts Competition, so they could only act to reduce the numbers of other countries' ability users.

And Aaron Helens's strength was more than sufficient to accomplish this.

The expressions of the others also changed slightly. If this were true, then Country M was being far too domineering.

"Ling Yan, you... you... how do you know Country M's contestants died by accident..."

Mu Qinghuang, hearing Chu Lingyan's words, frowned again and asked.

"A sword cultivator's intuition!"

Chu Lingyan said indifferently.

Hearing Chu Lingyan's words, Mu Qinghuang felt a pang in her heart.

The others also twitched their lips slightly. This explanation was too hardcore.

"Brother Ye, if Country M really is behind this, then we..."

Gu Yu's voice also turned low as he spoke next.

Liu Wen was Huaxia's top genius and also Gu Yu's good friend. If he had died at the hands of fierce beasts, so be it.

But dying at the hands of Country M meant this enmity could not go unavenged.

"If Country M's people are truly responsible, I will never let them off. However, our most important task right now is to gather evidence. With sufficient evidence, we might be able to deliver a fatal blow to Country M later!"

Ye Wushang pondered for a moment before continuing.

Everyone nodded. If Country M had indeed attacked so many countries' ability users, it would indeed be a major incident.

If they could obtain evidence, Country M would absolutely be in deep trouble.

"Leave the evidence matter to me. I'll investigate covertly!"

Qin Hao unhesitatingly took on this task.

Ye Wushang nodded. Qin Hao possessed top-tier Space Talent, making him the most suitable person for this job.

"Wait, Ling Yan, have you broken through to the fifth rank?"

A moment later, Mu Qinghuang seemed to notice something and looked at Chu Lingyan with surprise.

Although Chu Lingyan's cultivation was very close to the fifth rank, having absorbed a large amount of fierce beast inner elixirs a few days ago, she shouldn't be able to absorb too much more in a short time.

"Yes, Student Zhou Bai helped purify the violent Qi and Blood Power within my body, allowing me to absorb the inner elixir's Qi and Blood Power again to break through!"

Chu Lingyan did not hide it and explained slowly.

"What? That guy's Thunder Power can purify the violent Qi and Blood Power generated from absorbing inner elixirs?"

Upon hearing Chu Lingyan's words, Wang Tianba's pupils contracted, his face full of astonishment.

The other Huaxia martial artists around also had shifting expressions, clearly not expecting Zhou Bai to possess such a method.

"Ling Yan, are you telling the truth?"

Mu Qinghuang also stared intently at Chu Lingyan, asking incredulously.

"Naturally, it's true."

Chu Lingyan nodded.

"Good, good, good! That guy indeed has the capital to be arrogant!"

Delight flickered in Mu Qinghuang's eyes.

Aaron Helens's purification methods had made them extremely eager, but Aaron Helens would never help them.

Now, Zhou Bai could also purify. This would further narrow the advantage gap between them and Country M.

The other Huaxia martial artists also looked visibly tempted.

"Let's go find Zhou Bai and have him purify for us. My body has accumulated a large amount of violent Qi and Blood Power. If it's pacified, I can open my next acupoint sooner!"

Gu Yu said with immense excitement.

Then, Gu Yu took the lead and also left the palace.

The others didn't hesitate either, following Gu Yu out.

After all, Zhou Bai's method was simply too astonishing. If he could help them purify, their strength could increase rapidly.

Soon, Ye Wushang and his group left the palace and immediately saw two lines already formed within Xuanhuang Fortress.

The people in line were top-tier ability users from various countries.

Although they weren't contestants in the World Martial Arts Competition, they were also here hunting fierce beasts, using the effects of inner elixirs to enhance their strength.

"It really is true. That guy Zhou Bai is also using this method to collect fierce beast inner elixirs, just like Aaron Helens!"

Gu Yu, looking at Zhou Bai purifying the violent Qi and Blood Power of an ability user not far away, said excitedly.

Although there was some distance, Gu Yu's perception was extremely sharp. He immediately sensed the violent Qi and Blood Power of the ability user in front of Zhou Bai rapidly subsiding.

And the long line forming in front of Zhou Bai was the best testament to the effectiveness of his power.

Ling Xiao, watching Zhou Bai purifying violent Qi and Blood Power in the distance, felt his expression stiffen further.

Originally, the collective disregard from many Huaxia martial artists towards Zhou Bai had made Ling Xiao feel deeply aggrieved.

Now that Zhou Bai possessed such a method, Ling Xiao could easily guess with his feet that these Huaxia martial artists would definitely accept him back.

Moreover, with this method and the collection of a large number of fierce beast inner elixirs, Zhou Bai's strength would surely keep increasing.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao felt even more stifled in his heart.
