Zhou Siyi's Wedding
Upon seeing this message, Song Wen frowned slightly.
He couldn't help but wonder how Rong Jingyun knew the name 'Extreme Yin'.
[Fellow Daoist Rong, we have had some past acquaintances, why curse me to death? How did you learn of my name?]
[Back then, you faked your death and betrayed the sect, stealing many of its treasures. The sect sent people everywhere to hunt you down, but they never found a trace of you. Later, I heard from Fang Pengyi that you were originally a member of the Corpse Demon Sect. Senior Tai He of the Nine Palaces Sect personally came to hunt you down, and we always thought you had died at Tai He's hands. I'm quite curious, how did you escape from Tai He's clutches?] Rong Jingyun replied via message.
"I obtained a Hidden Soul Jade, which masked my own soul fluctuations, allowing me to escape by sheer luck," Song Wen casually remarked.
[You were only at the Foundation Establishment stage back then, yet you managed to obtain the Hidden Soul Jade. You were quite lucky.] Rong Jingyun said.
The Hidden Soul Jade was made from the brow bone of a third-tier Nether Fox.
In the entire Heavenly Origin Continent, apart from the Nether Fox that Song Wen subdued, there is probably no other living Nether Fox.
The Hidden Soul Jade in the Cultivation World of the Heavenly Origin Continent today is basically a legacy from the era of the Divine Blood Sect.
Therefore, compared to the Sea of Disorder, the Hidden Soul Jade of the Heavenly Origin Continent is even rarer and more precious.
In fact, not only are Hidden Soul Jade rarer in the Heavenly Origin Continent, but even soul-type defensive Law Treasure are even rarer.
Most of the soul-type defensive magical Law Treasure in the Sea of Disorder are made from the remains of the Nether Fox.
This is why Tai He and Blood Brow tried every means to capture Nether Fox.
[You've been missing for a hundred years, yet you suddenly reappear. There must be something important on your mind, right?] Rong Jingyun said.
Song Wen said, "[Fellow Daoist Rong, your eyes are as sharp as a pearl; nothing escapes your notice. I have a small matter I would like to ask for your assistance with.]"
Rong Jingyun said, "[Extreme Yin, your betrayal of the Beast Taming Sect greatly affected the progress of refining the Man-Snake Profound Corpse. When the First Supreme returned to the sect and learned of this, he was immediately furious and nearly executed Fang Pengyi.]"
[If it weren't for the First Supreme Elder's trip during which he reached some kind of cooperation with the Corpse Demon Sect, and the Corpse Demon Sect's agreement to send people to the Beast Taming Sect to assist in refining the Human-Snake Mystic Corpse, Fang Pengyi would have been executed long ago. Although he luckily escaped with his life, Fang Pengyi was stripped of his positions as Sect Master and Peak Master of Dan Peak.]
Therefore, I dare not have any connection with you. Out of consideration for our past relationship, I advise you to stay away from the Beast Taming Sect. If the First Elder finds out, he will certainly not let you off easily.
Upon seeing Rong Jingyun's message, Song Wen realized that he had been somewhat presumptuous.
According to Rong Jingyun, she would not easily help him investigate clues about the Longevity Hall.
Song Wen could only place his hopes on Zhou Siyi.
Rong Jingyun was unwilling to help, and Song Wen did not force her; he continued to send the message.
[Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Rong. Since it's inconvenient for you, I won't bother you any further. However, I would like to ask how Senior Sister Zhou Siyi is doing these days? I sent her a message, but she hasn't replied.]
[Elder Zhou is not in the sect and cannot receive your message, so naturally he will not reply to you.] Rong Jingyun said.
"[Would Fellow Daoist Rong be so kind as to tell me where Senior Sister Zhou has gone?]" Song Wen asked.
[Elder Zhou is already married and has remarried.] Rong Jingyun said.
Upon seeing the message, Song Wen frowned slightly.
This is information that the shop owner didn't mention.
"[Senior Sister Zhou is Golden Core cultivator, how could she marry into another sect? Would the Beast Taming Sect agree to this?] "Song Wen asked.
[If Elder Zhou's dao companion were just an ordinary person, the sect would naturally not agree. However, Junior Sister Zhou's dao companion is Lei Jun, the head of the Lei Clan. Moreover, this marriage was personally proposed to Elder Lei Yue by Mi He Yue, the patriarch of the Lei Clan. How could they refuse?]
Song Wen suddenly remembered that he had met Lei Jun, the head of the Lei Clan, when he was escaping from the Corpse Demon Sect.
Lei Jun was depicted as an elderly man with white hair, but in reality, he was less than two hundred years old at the time.
Now, 130 years later, Lei Jun should be 300 years old.
Furthermore, there is a considerable grudge between Lei Jun and Song Wen.
Lei Jun's son, Lei Tianyu, died at the hands of Song Wen. However, Lei Jun did not know who the real culprit was.
Song Wen suddenly realized something was wrong.
It is common for powerful forces to form alliances through marriage. This is the most common and cost-effective way to gain mutual trust and strengthen relations between the two sides.
However, such matters are often publicized to demonstrate to the world the close relationship between the two powers.
Moreover, the fact that Zhou Siyi and Lei Jun became dao companion involves the head of the Lei Clan and a Golden Core elder of the Beast Taming Sect, so it should be common knowledge.
Why was the owner of the intelligence shop unaware of this?
"Didn't they announce Zhou Shimei and Lei Jun's marriage to each other?" Song Wen asked.
[No. The Lei Clan only sent a few people to take Elder Zhou back. There wasn't even a marriage ceremony.] Rong Jingyun said.
[How could this be? The Lei Clan patriarch and the Golden Core Beast Taming Sect are getting married. Why are they hiding such an important matter?] Song Wen asked, puzzled.
[I don't know about that. It was a matter agreed upon by Mi He and Lei Clan. How could I possibly interfere?] Rong Jingyun said.
"How long has Senior Sister Zhou been married?" Song Wen asked.
"It has been half a year," Rong Jingyun said.
"What is Lei Jun's current cultivation level?" Song Wen asked.
"Peak of the Golden Core stage," Rong Jingyun replied.
[Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist Rong. Also, congratulations on your advancement to the Golden Core Realm, Fellow Daoist Rong.] Song Wen sent a message.
"You should have advanced to the Golden Core stage by now, right?" Rong Jingyun asked.
[Yes.] Song Wen Wendao.
After ending his communication with Rong Jingyun, Song Wen pondered for a moment, then got up and flew to the Lei Clan.
The marriage between Zhou Siyi and Lei Jun raises many questions.
Considering that Lei Jun had already reached the Peak Golden Core Stage, Song Wen subconsciously suspected that Zhou Siyi possessed some kind of special physique, and that Lei Jun wanted to use her to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Song Wen planned to go to the Lei Clan to see if he could find an opportunity to rescue Zhou Siyi; he wouldn't mind taking action.
The Lei Clan lived very close to the Beast Taming Sect, only about three thousand miles away.
It's unknown how the Lei Clan persuaded their ancestors from the Beast Taming Sect to agree to establish their Lineage Lei Clan such a nearby location.
The Lei Clan's territory covered an area of several hundred square miles, and a magnificent city wall, more than two thousand miles long, surrounded the territory, prohibiting outsiders from entering.
Song Wen could only communicate with Zhou Siyi from outside the city walls.
[Senior Sister Zhou, this is Wu Sheng. Please reply as soon as possible after receiving this message.]
Song Wen waited another day, but still received no reply from Zhou Siyi.
This made Song Wen even more convinced that there was something wrong with the marriage between Zhou Siyi and Lei Jun.
Zhou Siyi's current situation must not be very good.
Even if he didn't die, he was probably imprisoned.
Otherwise, given the relationship between Song Wen and Zhou Siyi, she wouldn't have ignored their messages.
Song Wen disguised himself as a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Rogue Cultivator and headed south.
Before long, Song Wen arrived at an open city.
This city is called Commonfolk City, and it is home to millions of members of the Lei Lineage.
These people were ordinary members of the Lei Clan, and those with inferior Spirit Root; they were not qualified to enter the high walls to cultivate.
Their sole purpose was to reproduce, hoping to produce exceptionally gifted members for the Lei Clan.
