Join Forces to Question the Qian Yuan Sect?

This person is no stranger; he is one of the two Void Heaven Cultivator of the Cangming Sect, with a cultivation level of Middle Stage- Void Heaven, proficient in Water Dao, and integrated with the aura of the sea.

He didn't go ashore, but instead wandered around the Sea Islands, underwater, looking at the Island beneath the surface.

His eyes held a hint of doubt, as he sensed something illogical about this island. The mountain Earth Vein's energy he sensed were all different from what he knew before.

Suddenly, he paused for a moment, his figure sinking deeper into the sea. Then, with his ears pressed against the ground, he drifted outwards along the seabed after a while.

"Did you hear a heartbeat?"

Gu Yuanqing chuckled softly, and with a thought, the seawater transformed into Cage.

The man's expression changed. He made a hand Hand Seal, intending to escape, but found that the water in front of him seemed to have turned into an impenetrable wall. His usually invincible Evasion Technique was completely useless.

He recalled the rumors circulating in the Cultivation World, immediately put on a smile, and cupped his hands, saying, "I am Jiang Hongyun of the Cangming Sect. I have come to your sect with no ill intentions. I just happened to sense something amiss underwater, unaware that this is a secret of your Sect. I apologize for any offense caused."

Gu Yuanqing gave a light snort and waved his hand in the air.

Jiang Hongyun felt the Heaven and Earth turn upside down, his body lose weight, as if he had been thrown out, spinning wildly in the air, dizzy and disoriented. When he regained consciousness and leaped out of the water, he was surprised to find that he was not far from Cangming Island.

Jiang Hongyun gasped in astonishment. This was too outrageous! To be casually tossed around for thousands of miles—this was something no Void Heaven Realm could possibly accomplish.

"It seems Huang Wenzhong most likely died at the Qian Yuan Sect. That guy must have been trying to seize the Spirit Liquid and the Secret Realm, but he ran into a brick wall."

"And what exactly is that sound underwater? Something feels off. But since the Qian Yuan Sect forbids it, it's best not to investigate. Otherwise, if we get killed easily, it'll be too late for regrets."

Jiang Hongyun glanced in the direction of the Qian Yuan Sect, then quickly rushed back to the Sect.

"Uncle-Master, you're back!"

"Hmm." Jiang Hongyun replied absentmindedly.

"Your Master requests that you visit him after you return."

"Senior Brother, what's the matter?" Jiang Hongyun finally came to his senses and looked at Qin Zichuan not far away.

Qin Zichuan said, "It should be related to the Qian Yuan Sect. Just now, Master received a message from the Purple Qi Palace via Flying Sword, which concerned the Qian Yuan Sect."

"Qian Yuan Sect? Then I'll go to your place right now, Senior Brother!" Jiang Hongyun hurriedly left.

Qin Zichuan was taken aback for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Uncle Jiang is so interested in the Qian Yuan Sect? There's something fishy about this."

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother!"

Come in!

A sound came from inside the Courtyard, and then the protective Array Formation opened up.

Jiang Hongyun quickly went inside.

In the lobby.

"I heard my Senior Brother was looking for me?"

"There's something I need to discuss with you. Take a look."

Feng Mingzhi handed over a Jade Slip, which bore the mark of the Purple Jade Slip Purple Qi Palace.

Jiang Hongyun probed with his Divine Sense, and after a moment his expression changed slightly. He looked up and said, "Does Palace Master Zou mean that the Seven Sects of the North Sea should jointly question the Qian Yuan Sect?"

Feng Mingzhi nodded and said, "That's right, that's the idea."

Jiang Hongyun said, "This is making a mountain out of a molehill. The matter is full of mysteries and the reasons are unknown. Even if Huang Wenzhong was really killed by the Qian Yuan Sect, I think it was mostly his own fault. What does it have to do with our Cangming Sect?"

Feng Mingzhi stood up, looked at the Sea Territory Map, and said, "The Seven Sects of the North Sea once swore an oath to advance and retreat together. Now, a direct descendant of Huang Wenzhong has come to the Purple Qi Palace, saying that Island Master Huang accepted an invitation from the Qian Yuan Sect to visit, but the person who went has not returned. This person requests the Purple Qi Palace and the other Sect of the North Sea to seek justice for Yellow Wind Island."

Jiang Hongyun asked in surprise, "Didn't we hear that Huang Wenzhong's direct blood relatives and disciples all disappeared? How come they've reappeared at the Purple Qi Palace?"

Feng Mingzhi shook his head and said, "That's hard to say. But in any case, now that something has happened on Yellow Wind Island and they've come knocking on our door, it's neither morally nor logically our place to stand idly by."

Jiang Hongyun asked, "Which other Sect did you go to the Qian Yuan Sect with, Senior Brother?"

Feng Mingzhi said in a deep voice, "We need to get to the bottom of this matter, to find out the Karma, the ins and outs. Huang Wenzhong is, after all, the island lord of Yellow Wind Island. If he disappeared today, what if it's another Sect tomorrow? Moreover, the Qian Yuan Sect is located near my Cangming Island, and they've conveniently taken advantage of Zou Zhixing's name this time."

Before today, Jiang Hongyun would either have been too lazy to go or would have readily agreed. But after what happened underwater today, he had a different thought. He immediately said, "No! Senior Brother, I disagree with this. Our Cangming Sect must never oppose the Qian Yuan Sect."

"Junior brother, why are you doing this?" Feng Mingzhi was somewhat surprised by Jiang Hongyun's intense reaction.

"If you find out about this, Senior Brother, please don't tell anyone else. Today, I, your junior brother, have..." Jiang Hongyun recounted the events of the day.

After listening, Feng Mingzhi looked Jiang Hongyun up and down but didn't say anything.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Senior Brother?" Jiang Hongyun asked, feeling puzzled.

Feng Mingzhi laughed and said, "I think you're making up a story for me, Junior Brother. I'll believe you if you say you went to Qian Yuan Island, and I'll believe you if you say there are experts in the Qian Yuan Sect. But you said there was a heartbeat sound under Qian Yuan Island, and the whole island was like a living thing. You also said that the Cultivator on the island could throw you thousands of miles away with a wave of their hand, and you wouldn't be hurt at all. That's not Celestial Person, that's Immortal."

Jiang Hongyun was both amused and exasperated. "Senior Brother, I'm telling the truth, not talking nonsense. I absolutely cannot afford to offend the Qian Yuan Sect."

Feng Mingzhi asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"This matter concerns the safety of my Cangming Island, how dare I speak nonsense!" Jiang Hongyun said.

Feng Mingzhi stared at Jiang Hongyun, noticing a difference in his expression compared to before. His smile slowly faded, and he said, "Were you telling the truth just now?"

Jiang Hongyun said with an expression he had never shown before, "Absolutely true."

Feng Mingzhi's heart skipped a beat. If what Jiang Hongyun said was true, then the Qian Yuan Sect was not just a fierce dragon that came to the North Sea, but a True Dragon that entered the sea!

With such abilities, let alone the Cangming Sect, even if Seven Sects of the North Sea were combined, they might not be able to withstand a single finger from their opponent.

Feng Mingzhi's heart grew heavy. He put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in deep thought, and finally couldn't help but ask again, "Junior brother, you can't lie to me about this!"

Jiang Hongyun held up three fingers. "I swear in the name of my Master!"

Feng Mingzhi was now completely convinced, and sighed, "If that's really the case, it seems we have no choice but to reject the Purple Qi Palace. Now there's a problem: should we tell the other Sect about the Qian Yuan Sect?"

Jiang Hongyun hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is a secret of our Sect, Qian Yuan Sect itself has not mentioned it. If it were to spread from my Cangming Sect, I'm afraid it wouldn't be good."

"That's true. It seems we have no choice but to remind Palace Master Zou indirectly."
