In the dark space.
Eleven bronze lamps burned slowly.
“Xuan Ming, you urgently summoned us here, what’s the matter?” asked Hou Tu, her tone unfriendly.
“Did someone interrupt your good time, Sister Hou Tu?” Yan Zi joked.
“I was just taking a nap and got abruptly woken up, so I’m in a bit of a bad mood,” Hou Tu replied.
Hearing her words, everyone present began to ponder.
The Archean Eon Realm was a vast domain, and its sun, formed by the will of the world, rises in the east and sets in the west, orbiting the realm. This meant that there were time differences within the Archean Eon Realm.
Hou Tu said she had just finished her nap…
From this, they could deduce where she might be at the moment.
However, this statement could not be entirely trusted. Everyone present was capable of deception; Hou Tu might be deliberately misleading them.
“Today, I gathered you all because our investigation has yielded results,” Xuan Ming began.
“What are the results?” Hou Tu asked, her grogginess fading. “I went to Shangyang City and found several monks who had seen students from the Sancai Academy,” said the woman known as “Tian Wu.”
“Students of Sancai Academy don’t conceal their identities when they’re out. Two of them appeared in Shangyang City, one named Zhang Xun and the other Liang Xia,” Tian Wu paused.
“These two are core disciples of Sancai Academy. Zhang Xun’s master is even the vice chancellor of the academy, Hu Qingsong, a peak-stage Integrated
Body cultivator.”
“So, it’s that famous scholar who used to get beaten up a lot,” Ju Mang laughed.
Tian Wu did not respond to his comment but continued:
“These two discovered the actions of the Ghost Mage Sect in Shangyang City and chased down the Elders ‘Life’ and ‘Death’ of the sect, eventually reaching the Ghost Mage Sect’s main temple. I’ve seen the battle traces there. The
Ancestral Magus was resurrected but was immediately subdued and killed…
With Zhang Xun and Liang Xia’s capabilities, they couldn’t have achieved this.”
“So, you mean there were others involved?” Yan Zi understood her implication.
“During Sancai Academy’s anniversary celebration, all guests had to register. I found the guest list; two people didn’t have invitations but were brought personally by Zhang Xun and Liang Xia.”
Tian Wu spoke calmly.
“Cheng Lingzhu from the Dushi Sword Sect and… Lu Xuan from the Dao Evolution Sect, both are Golden Core cultivators.” “Are you sure it’s them?” Di Jiang asked.
“I wouldn’t make a mistake,” Tian Wu affirmed.
“The guest list even states that Zhang Xun met these two in the Ghost Mage Sect’s territory and even visited a secret realm in the Northern Plains. As inheritors of major sects and considering the good relations between their sects, they didn’t need invitations but were personally invited.”
“It’s rare to see top-tier sects pairing up with third-tier ones,” Ju Mang commented.
“So, these two were both at the Ghost Mage Sect and Sancai Academy,” Hou Tu concluded, nodding.
“Now that Sister Tian Wu has finished, it’s your turn,” Yan Zi looked at Ju Mang.
Ju Mang nodded: “I was responsible for investing the matter of the Barbarian God’s resurrection. We were a bit late in taking action and investigating. By the time I got to the Southern Ridge, all the Barbarian Tribes had been driven into the Abyss of the Fallen God to fend for themselves.
“But that didn’t stop me,” Ju Mang tapped the table. “Under the control of the Thousand Saints Mountain, there’s a power called the Pan Jiang Country, which recently erupted in internal strife, causing a lot of commotion. I suspected it was the doing of the heir of the Dushi Sword Sect and went to investigate.
“The reason for the internal conflict in Pan Jiang Nation was the alliance between the most powerful Southern Demon King within the country and the Barbarian Tribes. They were amassing troops in their territory, plotting a rebellion. Pan Jiang’s Emperor sent troops to suppress it, leading to the ongoing unrest.
“Following this lead, I discovered that a large number of Barbarian Tribes had descended from the sky, causing conflicts with the Feathered Tribes.
“So, I secretly went to that Feathered Tribe and learned that before the battle began, they had captured two scouts who were later rescued and returned to the Feathered Tribe with intelligence. The Feathered Tribe took the initiative and defeated the Barbarian Tribes.
Hou Tu responded, “The ones who rescued the Feathered Tribe’s scouts, were they Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu?”
Ju Mang nodded.
“A man and a woman, the man dressed in white, the Feathered Tribe called him a senior. According to their description, it should be Lu Xuan and his companion.”
The people around exchanged glances and nodded slightly.
“Of course, to ensure the authenticity of the information, I also visited the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and found several citizens who had been rescued from the Barbarian Tribes. They also confirmed that they were saved by a man and a woman. The Feathered Tribe did not lie.”
“You’ve been busy these past few days, covering the entirety of Nanling and uncovering so much?” Zhu Rong asked Ju Mang.
“With my cultivation, it was effortless,” Ju Mang replied nonchalantly, as if it were a trivial matter.
Zhu Rong concluded inwardly, “It seems that he truly is an esteemed senior cultivator.”
“What about you, Zhu Long?” Di Jiang asked.
“My investigation was somewhat easier than Ju Mang’s,” Zhu Long replied.
“The death of the noble Tang Baizhan in the Tian Lan Ancient Kingdom and the mysterious disappearance of three thousand soldiers… I couldn’t start from there, so I took another route. I went to the place where the Heavenly Emperor, Xu’s heavenly realm emerged and found a small island. Below the island was a large merpeople tomb, which was empty.”
“I then went to the coastal areas, to the thirteen closest merpeople markets to that island. Eventually, in a place called Shiqiao Town, I learned of a merpeople
treasure ship heading towards that island.”
Zhu Long paused, “… On that treasure ship, there were also a man and a
woman.”
As the clues were pieced together, the whole situation became clear.
“Someone has indeed been obstructing us,” Xuan Ming said gravely.
“Exactly,” Emperor Jiang spoke up. “These two are merely Golden Core cultivators; they couldn’t possibly have killed the newly resurrected Ancestral
Magus or subdued the nearly ascended He Yuanfeng… There must be a significant power behind them.”
“Could it be someone from the Dushi Sword Sect?” Zhu Rong speculated.
“Although their Saintess often stirs up the cultivation world, the great powers of the Dushi Sword Sect wouldn’t easily intervene, and certainly not so frequently,” Di Jiang shook his head. “Someone else is thwarting us.”
“Clearly, these two are cultivators put forward by that organization,” Ju Mang spoke, the dim light of the bronze lamps casting a shadow on his mask, making him appear stern and wise. “They don’t hide their identities, unafraid of exposure, obviously instructed by their organization… This enemy is provoking us!” “That’s true.” “It makes sense.” “Agreed.”
“Agreed.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Zhu Long, didn’t you say you come from the Dao Evolution Sect?” Xi Zi asked..
“What do you know about this Lu Xuan?”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
