<h4>Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Blood Flows 3000 Miles, Bones Pile Up like Mountains (2nd Update)</h4><h4></h4>


    "Countless deities engaged in fiercebat, powerhouse after powerhouse fell like rain, divine blood sttered across the sky, and the extent of the carnage," ording to the words of my master’s ancestor, "was such that blood flowed for three thousand miles, and bones piled up like mountains!"


    As Mu Guqing spoke, although he had not experienced it himself, his eyes still revealed a shade of horror.


    After all, even the mere description of such a horrific scene could send shivers down one’s spine.


    "The battle did notst long, and you, sir, must know the reason. To arge extent, it was because of the Tian Zhao Divine Court’s sudden betrayal, which caused the ranks of the Hua n’s deities to crumble apart, leading to their terrible defeat!"


    "Yet even so, the deities of the Hua n did not give up but instead mounted a nearly tragic breakout!"


    "My master saw with his own eyes a youth with three heads and six arms fighting side by side with a Divine General, who had vertical eyes on his forehead, against their enemies, cutting a bloody path through the encircling deities!"


    "Such towering might," in the words of my master, "although there were powerhouses like rain, they had not one who could withstand a single blow in the presence of these two deities!"


    "But just as they were leading the grievously wounded Hua n deities to break through the encirclement, reinforcements suddenly arrived!"


    "Reinforcements?" Xue An had been listening quietly, the brutalbat having not caused any change of expression, until he heard the word "reinforcements," and then his eyebrows suddenly shot up.


    "Yes, reinforcements! I know what you want to ask, but sadly, those who arrived shrouded in thick mists, their originspletely obscured."


    Hearing this, Xue An did not show the slightest hint of disappointment; in fact, he had anticipated as much. The people who had initiated the attack on the Hua n obviously had nned it very meticulously, to the point of leaving no stone unturned.


    Relying solely on the Taiyin Deity n would likely not provide any significant breakthrough.


    But the more it was so, the more intense the killing intent in Xue An’s heart became.


    No matter how earth-shattering the conspiracy, I will root out those behind the curtain one day.


    "Although the origins of these neers were unclear, their strength was exceedingly formidable, and their arrival quickly changed the tide of the battlefield."


    "The already heavily wounded deities of the Hua n werepletely encircled, with no possibility of escape, but even so, they still did not give up and instead fought a nearly tragic battle!"


    "My master personally witnessed a deity wielding a lute charge forth, directly sacrificing his divine soul to perish together with one of the arriving powerhouses!"


    "The scene was so tragic and magnificent that it shocked everyone into keeping their distance, many unable to bear watching any longer."


    Xue An listened quietly, his expression neutral, but his eyes gradually revealed specks of cold light.


    "Regrettably, although the Hua n deities annihted many enemies, they were ultimately outnumbered andpletely lost the power to resist! And it was not until then that Lord Lihen finally appeared, toote!"


    "Lord Lihen!" Xue An repeated softly.


    "Yes, it was Lord Lihen, you..." Mu Guqing was about to continue when Xue An waved his hand, "I know him; there’s no need for introductions!"


    Mu Guqing paused, then nodded in realization, "Yes!"


    "And then?" Xue An asked.


    "Then..." Mu Guqing gave a bitter smile, "this has always been an unsolved mystery for my master and sessive n Leaders, and it is also the first major puzzle I want to reveal to you!"


    "Oh? A mystery?"


    Mu Guqing nodded affirmatively, "Exactly! When Lord Lihen arrived with the deities of Lihen Heaven, he looked ready to triumphantly annihte all the Hua n deities in one fell swoop."


    "At that moment, a strange event urred!" Speaking of this, a look of horror shed in Mu Guqing’s eyes as she tremblingly said, "My ancestor only felt a moment of dizziness, and then when she came to, she was shocked to discover that the gods of the Hua n, who had been heavily surrounded, had mostly vanished, leaving only numerous corpses floating there!"


    Xue An frowned upon hearing this, "Vanished?"


    Mu Guqing nodded emphatically, "Yes, vanished! At that time, my ancestor thought her cultivation level was too shallow and she had been affected by some secret technique! But she soon realized that it was not just her, all the deities present at that time, including the mighty Lord Lihen himself, had lost memory of that event!"


    This im made Xue An’s eyes sh with a cold light, because if it were simply a matter of altering memories, that wouldn’t be difficult! But ording to Mu Guqing’s words, it was clear that someone at that time forcibly severed a chain of cause and effect and rescued the gods of the Hua n.


    In other words, someone had snatched a short moment in time from everyone present at the scene.


    Such power was by no means ordinary; even the Immortal King or Immortal Emperor would not be capable of this.


    So who was the mighty figure who had rescued the gods of the Hua n? And where were those gods of the Hua n now?


    This news shook Xue An deeply.


    Mu Guqing wisely closed her mouth, not daring to disturb Xue An’s thoughts.


    Because she knew very well that on such a level, it was far beyond her, a mere member of the Taiyin Deity n.


    Even the entire deities of the Divine Realm were not qualified.


    After a long contemtion, Xue An regained hisposure and said indifferently, "And then?"


    Mu Guqing continued, "Once this event urred, those strong auras that had descended all dispersed, and Lord Lihen collected all the corpses of the Hua n gods and took them away!"


    "Took them away? Even the corpses?" Xue An raised his eyebrows slightly.


    Mu Guqing nodded, "Yes! Now, that is the second doubt I wish to bring to your attention."


    "At the time, those auras that had descended, although very secretive, might have neglected something out of panic, hence exposing a clue that was caught by my ancestor!"


    "What clue?" Xue An felt a stir in his heart and promptly asked.


    "When they broke through space to leave, although the seal was very tight, they left a tiny w. My ancestor then discovered that the cold yin energy leaking through that w was unmistakably chilly!"


    "The cold yin energy..." Xue An’s expression changed as he muttered softly.


    "You know, my Taiyin Deity n inherently cultivates the energy of the Taiyin, so we are very familiar with such yin energy. Although the cold yin energy that leaked was different from the Taiyin energy, it also belonged to the category of Xuan Yin!"


    Although this message was quite vague, it at least provided a general direction, unlike groping in the dark as before, so Xue An nodded.


    "I understand! What else?"


    A hesitant look shed across Mu Guqing’s face, "My lord, the previous two doubts were passed down by my ancestor, but this one is deduced and analyzed by myself!"


    "Oh? What is it?"


    Mu Guqing took a deep breath, "Lord Lihen, as a ruler of the High-Ranked Divine Realm, always had unfathomable power. However, in the recent millennium, the Lihen deities under hismand suddenly became active, and their strength has grown tremendously, yet the strength that they have revealed all bears traces of the Divine Power of the Hua n!"


    A glint of cold light shed in Xue An’s eyes, "Are you suggesting..."


    Mu Guqing nodded, "I suspect that in Lord Lihen’s hands, there may very well be surviving deities from the Hua n!"
