"But this disciple knows that this was definitely not the work of the Palace Master. If the Palace Master had stored the power of the Heaven-Mending Fragment in an ordinary stone, why would he have asked this disciple to search for it?"
"That's why I sought out the Grand Elder of the Red Peak Gang to discuss this matter."
"The Red Peak Gang's Grand Elder was initially completely bewildered, but after a moment, he suddenly seemed to remember something. Just as the Grand Elder was about to tell his disciples, something unusual happened."
"A mysterious force interrupted our conversation and killed the Grand Elder. I can only guess that the Grand Elder must have learned some secret information to bring about such a disaster."
He Buxian explained the situation earnestly.
Lin Yu nodded upon hearing this. In fact, this was not much different from what he had learned before, and he was currently also investigating that mysterious power.
"This disciple has been wandering in the Red Peak Immortal Realm for many days, but has found no clues. Left with no other choice, I have to return to the Primordial Hall to report."
"Unfortunately, I did not see the Palace Master. I heard from my senior sister that you went to the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, so I rushed there."
What happened next didn't actually require He Buxian to say anything more; Lin Yu already understood.
It seems this kid followed in his footsteps to the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, and just as he was defeating that strange puppet spell, he was drawn into this era of enlightenment.
However, unlike himself who had entered the territory of the ancient Phoenix Clan, this unlucky kid had probably entered the Netherworld Immortal Realm.
Now that he had finally met the Palace Master, He Buxian was naturally extremely excited.
Having been in this strange place for quite some time without finding a way out, just when he was feeling helpless and desperate, he encountered the Lord of the Palace.
Upon learning this, He Buxian was almost moved to tears.
"In that case, you shall investigate this matter with me," Lin Yu said.
Unlike himself, He Buxian had been in close contact with that power and should be more perceptive.
He Buxian naturally did not object to Lin Yu's decision and nodded repeatedly.
Only after seeing Lin Yu did He Buxian's tense nerves finally relax completely.
Previously, He Buxian had been extremely annoyed by the various things the Red Peak Gang had done, but he and the Red Peak Gang's Grand Elder were true friends despite their age difference. When the Grand Elder was murdered, the sorrow in his heart was no less than that of the Red Peak Gang's disciples.
However, he was met with suspicion from the Red Peak Gang members, which greatly annoyed He Buxian.
After meeting He Buxian, Lin Yu finally understood what the strange power he had felt earlier was all about.
That power wasn't sensed by Lin Yu himself, but by He Buxian. The two were so close that Lin Yu was able to sense the anomaly through He Buxian's perception.
However, since Lin Yu was in the Dao Qi era, he had already assumed that his disciples in the Hongmeng sequence could not come here, so he deliberately ignored this possibility.
"Lord Temple Master, I only sensed this power myself just now and tracked it down. However, this feeling is very vague..." He Buxian said earnestly.
Having experienced this power up close before, He Buxian could feel the fear it brought.
The reason he persisted in pursuing this mysterious power was twofold: firstly, to complete the task assigned by Lin Yu and find the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Sword; and secondly, to find out the truth behind the incident involving the Red Peak Gang's Grand Elder and clear his name.
"Can you still feel this power now?" Lin Yu continued to ask.
In fact, the strange feeling Lin Yu had sensed disappeared the moment he met He Buxian.
Now that he had finished talking with He Buxian, Lin Yu belatedly realized that he and He Buxian had wasted some time just now.
If this delays the search for that mysterious power, I don't know how much I'll regret it.
After all, this mysterious force is extremely rare to reveal itself, and this is the first time we've encountered it.
However, what He Buxian said next quickly put Lin Yu at ease.
"Lord Temple Master, actually, before I met you, I couldn't feel that power anymore. It was as if it had vanished into thin air, completely disappeared." He Buxian scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
As a disciple of the Hongmeng sequence, he naturally understood the importance and urgency of matters.
If he hadn't sensed that power disappear and hadn't encountered his own palace master, he would never have started chatting idly in a place like the Netherworld Immortal Realm.
If He Buxian could still sense that power, he would never stop and would definitely continue to pursue it.
Lin Yu's senses were more acute than He Buxian's. He felt that the power dissipated immediately after he and He Buxian met.
Lin Yu could vaguely sense that behind this strange power, the one who cast the sealing power within Feng Nianzhi's body should be a force.
Because these two forces are extremely similar!
Since the other party has already made a move, it's impossible for them to have suddenly disappeared; they must have gone into hiding.
Now that he and He Buxian have met, if this force dares to continue to appear, the two of them only need to attack from both sides to subdue it directly.
Lin Yu wanted to see just who was behind this power.
The Netherworld Immortal Realm covers a vast area, yet the battles here are mostly concentrated in the very center, while the rest of the land remains quite empty.
Now, Lin Yu and He Buxian are in this somewhat empty place.
The disappearance of that power happened suddenly and completely. It seemed that everything in the surrounding world had become a protective umbrella for that power. For a moment, even Lin Yu didn't know where that power had gone.
"Could that power have really vanished? But what was the purpose of bringing you and me here? It couldn't have been just a joke, could it?" He Buxian was extremely frustrated. At this point, he could no longer sense the presence of that power at all.
At this point, He Buxian felt a sense of defeat.
For a long time, while pursuing this power, He Buxian also felt that this power was unpredictable.
However, after such a long period of time, He Buxian thought he had basically mastered the rules of this power change.
Unexpectedly, just when he thought he was about to be able to subdue this power, it completely disappeared again.
