Doubt

Blood debts must be repaid in blood.

Upon hearing his master's words, Xuan Hai calmly replied, "Yes."

"After finding Xuan Tianzun, do not alert him. A Celestial Person wielding a divine weapon... likely possesses combat power approaching that of a Saint. You are no match for him. Only I will personally take action to avenge my senior brother!"

The Way of the True Person Without End.

They looked like close brothers.

Xuan Hai nodded.

After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and pondered, "Master, when we were investigating the matter of Xuan Tianzun's scheme to use Xuan Yue, we also discovered a problem. Xuan Yue was originally well protected by Xuan Qing, Xuan Wu, Xuan Chi and others. The reason why he was able to leave the Sanqing Palace was partly because his cultivation as Primordial Spirit True Lord was difficult to stop, and partly because someone was secretly assisting him."

At this point, he added, "A man and a woman, Bai Ye and Bai Yuxuan, accompanied Xuan Tianzun and Xuan Yue back to the main branch of the Sanqing Palace. One was a Spirit Transformation cultivator and the other a Grand Celestial Master. Xuan Yue, who was already yearning for the free world outside, made up his mind after talking with Bai Ye and Bai Yuxuan. In other words, he was almost lured out of the Sanqing Palace by these two people... especially Bai Yuxuan, who used her beauty to entice him."

"These two? Was it a coincidence or premeditated?"

"It's impossible for it to be such a coincidence. I suspect that there is an even more powerful force behind these two, a force that intends to target our Sanqing Palace."

"Targeting our Sanqing Hall..."

Master True Person squinted his eyes.

The most motivated force in the world to target the Sanqing Palace is the True Immortal Palace, which was formed by the merger of the Earth Immortal Palace, the Human Immortal Palace, and the Purple Cloud Sword Sect.

However, given the relationship between Xuan Tianzun and Zhenxian Palace, the possibility of cooperation between the two is slim.

Furthermore, given that Blood Demon Emperor Luo had just made Lingxiao Palace his formidable enemy, he wouldn't easily provoke the Sanqing Palace by creating unnecessary trouble.

So...

There's only one culprit left.

"Emperor Qian."

The Immortal True Person said, "Jiang Tianji."

"That's what I think too."

Xuan Hai nodded solemnly. "For the past hundred years, Jiang Tianji has never given up his desire to destroy my Sanqing Palace. Even though my Sanqing Palace only occupies Yuezhou and has not expanded outwards, they still regard us as their number one threat, fearing that after Master Wushi recovers, he will lead the Sanqing Palace to take over their royal family."

He paused, then said, "I think the man and woman shouldn't be called Bai Ye and Bai Yuxuan, they should be called Jiang Ye and Jiang Yuxuan."

The Immortal True Person had his eyes closed.

Emperor Qian had always been wary of and hostile towards the Sanqing Hall, and he was naturally aware of this.

However, the internal situation of their Sanqing Hall is complicated.

He, Wunian True Person, and Wushi True Person had a major falling out over the World Sword and the Heart of the Stars back then.

Although Master True Person conceded and handed over the two divine weapons, the World Sword and the Heart of the Stars, he and True Person were extremely dissatisfied because he maintained a state of mastery over these two weapons.

If it weren't for the fact that they didn't know the extent of Wushi True Person's injuries, the three lineages of the Sanqing Palace would have already started fighting.

In this situation, they clearly sensed Emperor Qian's malice.

Despite the fact that the Sanqing Palace's overall strength is superior to that of the Great Qian Imperial Family, they have never dared to truly take action against the Great Qian Imperial Family.

Otherwise, during his battle with Wunian True Person and Emperor Taiyuan, he couldn't guarantee that Wunian True Person and Wushi True Person wouldn't launch a sneak attack from behind.

After all!

This is a divine weapon!

To judge others by one's own standards.

If it were him, he wouldn't miss the chance to secretly seize the opportunity to completely take possession of the divine weapon.

"Jiang Tianji..."

True Person gripped the sword hanging at his waist and reopened his eyes. "Let's ignore what's going on over there for now. As long as Wunian and I don't fight each other, that Emperor Qian won't dare to openly attack us. At most, he'll just play some tricks. We'll deal with everything after we find Xuantianzun!"

"Yes."

Xuan Hai respectfully agreed and withdrew.

While Wuzhong True Person, a sage from Xuanhai, and a Celestial Person were exchanging information about Xuantian Zun.

At the foot of the mountain, several miles away from this Jade Void Saint.

Believers and Daoist priests were kneeling and bowing, slowly making their way toward the building as if on a pilgrimage.

Even though the number of people kneeling and kowtowing was not large, and most of them held priceless prayer jade and incense, their eyes were filled with respect and piety.

For over a century, although the Sanqing Hall has never expanded outwards, it has used its powerful methods to occupy extremely rich resources in various places.

The largest gold mine in the Qian Heaven Realm is controlled by their Sanqing Palace.

Even though the Great Qian Dynasty possesses the entire world, in recent years, its gold mine profits may not have been comparable to those of the Sanqing Palace.

Add to that the fact that Wushi True Person is the number one expert in the world, the only true immortal on land in Qiantian, and the title of the number one sect in Qiantian...

Every year, countless geniuses flock from all over Qiantian, hoping to join the Sanqing Hall and receive abundant resources for training.

The believers within Yuezhou, through years of indoctrination, have become the most loyal subjects of the Sanqing Temple, living diligently on this land, farming, working, trading, and manufacturing, all in an effort to get closer to the "immortals" of the Sanqing Temple.

A stable regime internally.

By continuously absorbing talents from all over the world, the Sanqing Temple has endured and flourished over the past hundred years.

The number of Celestial Person and saints was unmatched even by the Great Qian Dynasty.

At this moment, outside this solemn and dignified complex of buildings, a rather young-looking man carrying a sword calmly ascended the steps, step by step, until he arrived in front of the most magnificent main building.

A Daoist priest guarding the entrance leaned against the wall, glancing sideways at the worshippers kneeling and moving forward.

Upon seeing the calm demeanor, upright posture, and the fact that he carried no offerings or pilgrimage items purchased from below, the young Daoist frowned and immediately reprimanded him. "What are you doing? If you want to pray to the gods and immortals, prepare incense money. If you need anything, go to the appropriate branch temple and submit your petition..."

"Oh, this is my second time visiting the Sanqing Hall. I'm not familiar with the Sanqing Hall's hospitality system. Should I present a visiting card?"

The man glanced at the young Daoist and said calmly, "I thought that when I arrived at the Sanqing Hall... even though I am from the Yuxu lineage, I would receive a very 'grand' reception."

"Grand?"

The young Daoist looked at the man, sizing him up. Looking at his youthful face, he sneered, "What kind of power does our Sanqing Palace have? In today's world, even if the Emperor of the Great Qian came, whether or not we would give him a grand reception would depend on his purpose for coming here. If he came to bring gifts, we wouldn't mind giving him some face. But if it's for other reasons, he shouldn't expect to enjoy such treatment. You have more weight than the Emperor of the Great Qian?"

No, that's not it.

The man shook his head.

"What are you still gloating about? Tell me, what are you doing?"

"I have come to pay my respects to the Jade Void True Person."

The man said.

"True Person Yuxu?"

The young Daoist was taken aback, but quickly realized something.

This is their ancestor, the founder of the Jade Void lineage.

For a moment, the young Daoist priest composed himself slightly and became a little more formal. "Where... is your visiting card?"

"I don't."

The man said calmly, "Just say that Xuan Tianzun is visiting, and I think Yu Xu True Person should show up and meet with me."

"You want to see the patriarch without a formal invitation... you..."

The young Daoist frowned, about to lash out, but then he seemed to hear the man's self-introduction clearly. He was first stunned, then struck dumb as if by lightning.

For several seconds, his pupils suddenly widened in horror as he stared at the calm man before him, his voice trembling. "Xuan... Xuan Tianzun!? You... you are..."

At this moment, another young Daoist, who had initially thought the man looked somewhat familiar but was now incredulous, suddenly realized what was happening. He turned around and ran into the hall as fast as he could, shouting, "Xuantian Venerable... Xuantian Venerable has arrived..."

The man, Xuan Tianzun, looked at the limp, paralyzed Daoist boy in front of him, his expression unchanged.

After a few breaths, powerful auras and divine senses swept rapidly from the palace complex.

This was accompanied by gasps of surprise.

Xuan Tianzun simply waited patiently without urging him in the slightest.

He attacked and killed the True Person Wushi.

Because he felt that, based on the actions of Wushi True Person a hundred years ago in summoning the four great terrestrial immortals to besiege and kill Tianji Dijun, once he knew that he was the new sword master of Tianji Sword and had even cultivated into Celestial Person, he would definitely take action personally and crush him into dust with the overwhelming power of a terrestrial immortal.

Just as they joined the ranks of the Earth Immortal Palace and the Human Immortal Palace without hesitation, sending Celestial Person to hunt him down.

Keep in mind that at that time he was only Primordial Spirit True Lord, and the Sanqing Palace had already dispatched several Celestial Person to hunt him down.

After cultivating to Celestial Person, the True Person Wushi personally intervened to nip him in the bud...

That makes perfect sense.

Therefore, in order to protect himself, he did not hesitate to cooperate with Emperor Qian and, through Emperor Qian Jiang Tianji's scheme, brazenly assassinated Wushi True Person, the number one expert in Qiantian.

This ended the life of this terrestrial immortal.

But after he successfully assassinated Wushi True Person and broke out of the Sanqing Hall, he gradually realized some problems.

Too smoothly.

Arrived smoothly...

It seems that the True Person Wushi deliberately died at his hands.

He didn't even use the World Sword to retaliate.

Moreover, his last words...

Very good?

Why is it so good?

In particular, the look of relief in Wushi True Person's eyes before his death lingered in his mind, making it difficult for him to find peace.

In order to clear up his doubts and to find out the truth behind why Wushi True Person was willing to die by his sword, he came to the Jade Void lineage.

He planned to have a proper talk with this Jade Void True Person.

"Boom!"

The earth and sky shook.

Amidst the turbulent atmosphere of the Jade Void Palace complex, four powerful auras of the Celestial Person Realm soared into the sky, bringing with them an overwhelming and overwhelming pressure.

At the same time, deep within the Jade Void Palace, a powerful spiritual will, almost tangible, swept in and locked onto Xuan Tianzun's figure.

"Xuantian Venerable!"

Immediately following, a long, earth-shattering roar erupted.

An elderly man with an air of otherworldly True Person, dressed in a manner quite similar to that of the Immortal Wushi, strode in, his expression filled with anger...

And a surprise!?

"How dare you show your face in my Sanqing Hall! You have a path to heaven but choose not to take it; you have no gate to hell but choose to barge in! This day next year will be your death anniversary!"
