She became a god

Instead of getting angry at being mocked to his face, Ye Qingzhou laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Hu Ling has great courage. You may take on the role of vanguard if you wish."

Tiger Ling may be physically strong, but she is by no means stupid.

The situation is unclear at present; whoever takes the lead will die quickly.

Although Hu Ling intends to take the initiative, it must be based on the premise that everyone works together. She is not foolish enough to lead her people to their deaths in vain.

"Fellow Daoist Qingzhou, you are eloquent. Since we have all gathered here, we are all in the same boat. I dare say that we took the initiative to attack because we discovered some new clues, not because we wanted to drag everyone down with us."

Ye Qingzhou thought to himself that Hu Ling's words made some sense, and immediately smiled and said, "Since we have gathered here today, we can be considered partners. If you really have any new clues, please be sure to tell us the truth. Since I, Ye Qingzhou, have been invited here, I will do my best. After this matter is settled, if you fellow Daoists have time, you are welcome to visit Xiaoding Peak. At that time, I will definitely serve you my clan's famous wine, Zhuye."

Seeing that Ye Qingzhou had given her an out, Hu Ling readily revealed the clue.

It turns out that a cultivator from the tiger clan was a close friend of the deceased iron-eating beast. It is said that the deceased left behind a message before disappearing: "It came from the water, and it is going back to heaven."

"From the water? Could it be some kind of aquatic creature?"

The speaker was Long Yi from the Dragon Clan. Her original form was a fire dragon, who had recently celebrated her 100th birthday and possessed the cultivation of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

After hearing her speculation, Ye Qingzhou nodded, then shook her head. "According to the deceased's last words, ghosts are amphibious creatures, but ghosts can walk on the ground when they are alive, so why can't they do so after death?"

Xuan Song added, "Most common creatures are monopodial, and amphibians are generally both aquatic and terrestrial. Coming from the water and going to the sky? Fellow Daoist Long Yi, it sounds to me that it's similar to the habits of your clan's water dragons."

Long Yi said calmly, "It sounds similar, but the water dragons of my clan generally live in deep water, and the streams of Dazhu Peak are too shallow. But besides the water dragons, what other creatures are amphibious? Also, is such a strange creature really a ghost?"

Xuan Song said, "Could it be that this ghost died in the water before he was born, so his ghost came from the water after death?"

Ye Qingzhou was puzzled. "That does make some sense. But why insist on going back to the heavens?"

If you want to be reborn in the afterlife, you should go to the underworld, which is not in heaven.

Of all the lands and seas in the Nine Provinces, only the Cloud Continent and Mirror Sea in the Heavenly Realm are in the sky.

The demons also realized the problem: "Could this matter be related to the Heavenly Realm?"

Long Yi said, "Going back to heaven? Usually, people go back home. Could it be that these vengeful ghosts were celestial cultivators in their previous lives?"

Xuan Song said earnestly, "I will report this matter to the Queen Mother and send my people to the Heavenly Realm to inquire."

Hu Ling said, "It takes at least five days to travel from Dazhu Peak to the Heavenly Realm and back. In addition, we need to examine the records of the vengeful ghost before he died, so it may take seven days before we can find any clues."

Long Yi replied, "Just send us the information once you've found out. That should only take three to five days."

Before Hu Ling could react, Xuan Song looked troubled and said, "Dazhu Peak has been receiving jade slip messages very slowly lately, which may be delayed by half a day or a day."

Hu Ling was puzzled, "How could something like this happen out of nowhere?"

Xuan Song sighed softly, "Our clan elders said that if it was an accident, it might be due to the recent rains and thunderstorms, which would disrupt all communication equipment. If it wasn't an accident, then it's because a powerful being has tampered with the spacetime of Dazhu Peak."

Upon hearing this, all the demons couldn't help but glance at Ye Qingzhou.
