"Fellow Daoists!"
Sima Yao hurriedly entered the courtyard: "Something has happened! Chen Sansi is making a move."
"What move?"
Qian Qiren said solemnly: "Is he really planning to attack the Capital City? Quick, prepare the formation!"
"No!"
Sima Yao interrupted: "The Beiliang army is already preparing to retreat. Chen Sansi has not come to the Capital City but left a clone in the army. His true self has left the formation and headed east."
"East?"
Qian Qiren was not too concerned, only finding it a bit strange.
"Daoist Sima."
However, Huang Laojiu, who had not been there previously, appeared silently upon hearing this. He grabbed Sima Yaoâs wrist and asked urgently: "Are you sure he went east?"
"Yes!"
Sima Yao nodded vigorously: "Absolutely certain!"
"Not good!"
Cui Zhichen suddenly realized: "If you keep going east past Guan Du, itâs the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein! Heâs heading towards the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein!"
"Sun Xiangzong, could it be Sun Xiangzong?"
Qian Qiren exclaimed loudly: "Sun Xiangzong once used a sealing spirit great formation to destroy an ancestor vein at the ends of the earth!
"Now Chen Sansi has broken through to the True Power Middle Stage, and his injuries are mostly healed. Is it possible he plans to emulate his master and destroy the ancestor vein?!"
Cui Zhichen asked nervously: "Can he do it?"
"Hard to say!"
Qian Qiren paced back and forth: "Back in Youlan Capital, I deliberately got close to Feng Chu Fang Qingyun, Sun Xiangzongâs fourth disciple, to inquire about secrets regarding the Guardian. Judging by his tone, Sun Xiangzong might have really left something behind!"
The matter of the Guardian is known to few.
"If thatâs the case..."
Cui Zhichenâs expression grew increasingly grave as he urgently said to those around him: "Itâs really possible that Chen San could destroy the ancestor vein! If so, all our sacrifices would have been in vain! Senior Huang, you..."
"Tssâ"
Before the words were finished, the braying of a donkey sounded in their ears, and the donkey cart soared into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"What is Old Huang planning, to chase Chen Sansi alone, can he manage it?"
"Then what are we waiting for, letâs go together!"
"No!"
Cui Zhichen watched the disappearing silhouette of the old farmer, exhaling a long sigh of relief: "Senior Huang has finally made a move, so letâs not become a burden."
"Him?"
Qian Qiren said dismissively: "Brother Cui, what are you blabbering about, how could Old Huang possibly defeat Chen Sansi on his own!?"
"Daoist Qian!"
Cui Zhichen couldnât help but say: "Youâre confused! Havenât you realized by now?! Itâs not that the sect hasnât sent an elder, theyâve already sent one!"
Upon hearing this,
Not only Qian Qiren, but all the cultivators were stunned, feeling incredulous soon after.
"Daoist Cui, youâre the one talking nonsense."
"Weâve been at Guiyuan Sect for so many years, and weâve never heard of an elder with the surname Huang."
"..."
"Wait, I might have thought of someone."
Qian Qiren said somewhat blankly: "Fellow brothers, have you ever heard of our Guiyuan Sectâs Supreme Elder?"
"Supreme Elder?"
Most of the cultivators present were under fifty years old, but they had heard of the sectâs Supreme Elder.
In general, every sect has a Sect Master, Elders, and Supreme Elders, with the Supreme Elders being the highest in rank.
The Supreme Elder of Guiyuan Sect, Master Feng Qi, has been in seclusion for over eighty years.
This younger generation had never seen him.
"Qian Qiren!"
"Do you mean that Huang Laojiu is our Supreme Elder?!"
...
Golden Crane Peak.
The mountain ranges stretched endlessly, and the layers of forests were dyed in colors.
The towering peaks looked like silent giant gods, looming coldly over the land, with a splash of the setting sunâs afterglow casting the last warmth among them.
A figure wearing a spirited white robe was gliding on a flying sword at low altitude between the mountains and forests. He gazed at the beautiful sunset scenery of thousands of miles, feeling the breeze gently blowing on his face, and naturally opened his arms to embrace the Heaven and Earth Qi.
Huang Laojiu, or rather the Supreme Elder of Guiyuan Sect, Master Feng Qi, had already appeared behind the figure in the white robe. Above his Heavenly Spirit, an ancient and worn-out compass emerged and was crazily spinning on its own, with cracks extending over its surface.
The Wind Queenâs Strange Door Plate!
This was a relic extracted by the Guiyuan Sect with immense effort from a site on Sky Water Continent, the only one in Heavenly Water!
Its function was to obscure the heavenly secrets, and even the seal of Eastern Continent couldnât decipher it.
But that was if one doesnât make a move.
Once you make a move, you would be captured by the seal, and the Wind Queenâs Strange Door Plate would get damaged, making it impossible to fully obscure heavenly secrets anymore, and it would self-destruct in a short time.
Attempting a second strike would result in death under the suppression of the Heaven and Earth Seal.
That is to say,
After one strike, even if this Supreme Elder possessed late-stage Golden Core cultivation, he didnât dare to show his power, and could only use Golden Core realm escape techniques to flee quickly, or else he would perish!
But the ancestor vein concerns the sectâs millennial prosperity, along with many secrets, so Huang Laojiu had to come personally to be completely assured.
This trip was well worth it.
Dragon Abyss Sword.
Imperial Jade Seal.
Heavenly Book Array.
Xuanzhu.
In a desolate land with exhausted spiritual energy, how many treasures lie? If all could be obtained, what great fortune and opportunity it would be.
Guiyuan Sectâs ascension to a Nascent Soul sect is only a matter of time.
And in this Divine Continent, there is also this exceptionally gifted young person in front of him!
Given this personâs martial arts talent, if one day he obtained the inheritance beyond True Power, along with the Xuanzhu in hand, the consequences would be unimaginable!
And because of this,
Huang Laojiu hadnât made a move, but rather used someone elseâs hand to kill!
