Waiting

He couldn't help but be angry. The "Newcomer Tournament" held once every ten years was actually meaningless. How meaningful could a competition between Qi Refining stage disciples be? The distribution of Foundation Establishment Pill could be based entirely on the contribution of each sect. The reason why Fu Xian Island held it so enthusiastically was to demonstrate its leading position in the Cultivation World.

But now, things have gotten really bad. The number one island in the world, Fu Xian Island, has been robbed of thousands of people right under its nose without anyone even knowing, and more than a hundred sects have been implicated at once. Where will Fu Xian Island put its face if this gets out? What's most infuriating is that these "Black Society" are too arrogant. It's one thing to mess with the Daluo Sect and Qingguang Sect, but now they even dare to target Fu Xian Island. This is truly intolerable!

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! I refuse to believe that these 'Black Society' can hide in the sky!" Feng Xiangtian roared.

Ou Sihai and Dongfang Changao exchanged a glance. The former handed over a jade tablet and said, "Sect Leader, you should take a look at this first! This is what Chang'ao knocked off that masked man."

Feng Xiangtian's eyes were practically spitting fire as he angrily took the jade tablet and infused it with his Divine Sense to examine it. In the blink of an eye, his expression softened, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at the Human Path, "Has no one else seen this before?" His tone had returned to calm.

To understand what was inside the jade tablet that could cause Feng Xiangtian's attitude to change so quickly, we have to talk about what Yue Qianchou had done. Actually, there wasn't much inside. He almost lost his life and caused such a big mess just to leave the jade tablet that Hundred Charm Demoness had given him to Fu Xian Island. The topographical map on it marked a location not far from Hundred Flower Valley.

Although the incident had escalated significantly, and the three present were furious, they all calmed down completely once Hundred Flower Valley was involved. The Palace Master of the Hundred Flower Palace was the daughter of the previous sect leader on Fu Xian Island, and the three of them, except for Ou Sihai, were all, in essence, direct disciples of the Guan Dinghai. Ou Sihai was also a member of the Guan family lineage; otherwise, how could he have presided over the Cultivation Pavilion? Feng Xiangtian's position as sect leader was also Guan Dinghai's support of the Guan family's power on Fu Xian Island. With Guan Dinghai involved, the three of them dared not show any temper.

In fact, all three of them were now vaguely suspicious that the "Black Society" that had been causing such a stir in the Cultivation World recently might have been orchestrated by Guan Dinghai's daughter. If that were true, then this was not a matter that the three of them dared to decide on their own, and even Feng Xiangtian would not dare to make a decision.

Feng Xiangtian pondered for a moment, holding the jade tablet in his hand, and then said, "You two come with me to the Tianxin Pavilion to meet our master." The three figures quickly darted out of the window.

In a secluded spot within the Tianxin Pavilion, Guan Dinghai, sitting cross -Guan Dinghai, listened to the three men's report, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. Having examined the jade tablet, he understood their intentions perfectly well: they feared this matter would implicate his daughter, and thus had come to consult him on what to do.

Guan Dinghai pondered for a long time, then suddenly chuckled coldly. Looking at the sect leader and his disciples, he said in a deep voice, "Don't hold back on this matter. Investigate! Investigate thoroughly. If she really did it, inform me immediately, and I will personally execute this wicked girl and pretend she never existed."

The three looked at each other, Feng Xiangtian frowned and said, "Master, I know Senior Sister well. If this matter is really related to the Hundred Flower Palace, I don't believe that Senior Sister would target our Fu Xian Island. I'm more worried that it's related to that Yan guy."

Guan Dinghai glared at him and said, "So many years have passed, and you're still protecting her. Let me tell you, if this matter is really related to her, don't even think about shielding her. Tell me immediately."

Feng Xiangtian looked slightly embarrassed and bowed, saying, "Master, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Ou Sihai and Dongfang Changao suppressed a smile. They hadn't seen Feng Xiangtian with this expression in many years, or more precisely, since he became the sect leader. Both were from the past; Guan Dinghai had treated Feng Xiangtian exceptionally well, practically like a son, and had long intended to marry his daughter to him, which Feng Xiangtian loved. Who knew that Yan Bugui of the Ten Myriad Demon Palace would suddenly appear and capture the heart of the Hundred Flower Fairy, causing Feng Xiangtian considerable heartbreak.

With Guan Dinghai, after the three returned, Feng Xiangtian handed over the task of investigating the matter to Dongfang Changao.

After Yue Qianchou escaped back to Utopia, he didn't go anywhere else but went straight to hide in Guan Yu's room. The bloodstains on his clothes and his pale face immediately startled Guan Yu; it was the first time he had ever seen Yue Qianchou so badly injured. Yue Qianchou, fearing that Bai Suzhen and the others would worry, told him not to make a fuss and hid in Guan Yu's room to heal his wounds. Fortunately, he was protected by the Golden Pearl, so even with his injuries, there was no need to worry too much.

After half a day, although his injuries weren't fully healed, they were mostly gone, and he could move freely again. He then prepared to leave. Guan Yu, worried, tried to stop him, but was only met with another warning not to make his injury public before quietly departing.

He reappeared at the very spot where he had killed Liu Zhengguang and his men years ago. Now, almost every time he arrives at a new place, he uses his Essence Blood to create a landmark, making it easier for him to return next time. After determining the direction, he quickly flew towards the location marked on the jade tablet given to him by the Hundred Charm Demoness.

After finding a valley deep in the mountains and confirming that the cave entrance, which was concealed by an array, was not far away, he did not approach it. Instead, he quickly found a convenient spot to observe and hid, continuing to heal his wounds while observing.

There's a reason he risked injury to cause such a scene. First, the fake "Black Society" is powerful enough that a head-on confrontation would likely be unwinnable. And if the real one is hiding here, he wouldn't do what Hundred Charm Demoness suggested—compete to see who's stronger. Since there's such a formidable opponent, it's better to find them an even stronger one; Fu Xian Island is the best choice.

Having suffered such a great loss, Fu Xian Island will certainly not let this go easily. Having them help uncover the truth would be ideal. Even better if they could be used to eliminate the fake "Black Society" Fu Xian Island.

Another half day passed, and his injuries were finally almost healed. Sitting cross-legged amidst the withered branches and weeds, Yue Qianchou grew anxious. Why hadn't the people from Fu Xian Island arrived yet? Hadn't they discovered the jade tablet they'd left behind? With the cultivation levels of Dongfang Changao and the others, they couldn't possibly have missed it! Or was there some other reason?

Just as he was getting a little impatient, dozens of figures descended into the valley. Yue Qianchou held his breath and focused his attention. After looking at them, his eyes lit up. Leading them was none other than Dongfang Changao. Counting them up, good heavens! Fifty Tribulation Transcendence stage elders from the Cultivation Pavilion had actually been dispatched at once. This was going to be interesting.
