In an unnamed valley, there was actually a teleportation array.
Suddenly, the teleportation array flashed with a dazzling light, and the next moment, several figures appeared inside.
The one leading it was Wu Li!
Behind him stood dozens of powerful members of the Wu Clan, each exuding an extremely terrifying aura; these people were all True Immortal Realm experts!
Click!
Suddenly, the teleportation array cracked, and in the blink of an eye, the entire array was covered with countless cracks.
Seeing this, Wu Li frowned and said, "It seems this teleportation array can only be used once more. We'll have to get the clan leader to order another one to be built."
A middle-aged man then asked, "Elder, building this array must be no simple task, right?"
Wu Li glanced at the man and then said, "Of course, to build such a formation would consume at least 20% of our clan's resources!"
As he spoke, his face suddenly darkened. "Damn it, if the Immortal Gate were under the control of my Wu Clan, instead of those three forces, my Wu Clan wouldn't have needed to expend 20% of its resources to build such a teleportation array."
"Sigh~"
The middle-aged man sighed, "There's nothing we can do. What can we do when someone has a Immortal Lord as their ancestor?"
Wu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, " Immortal Lord Ancestor?"
As he spoke, a smirk appeared on his lips. "Just Immortal Lord Ancestor? Our clan leader is about to break through to Immortal Lord!"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
A man exclaimed excitedly, "Is the clan leader about to break through to the Immortal Lord?"
The others also became excited at this moment.
Wu Li nodded. "Yes, the clan chief told me."
"Hahaha! That's great! If the clan leader breaks through to the Immortal Lord, we won't need to fear those three forces anymore!"
"Yes, then our Wu Clan will be able to stand on equal footing with them!"
"Every time I encounter people from those three forces, they look down on me, just because my Wu Clan doesn't have any Immortal Lord level experts. Once the clan leader breaks through to Immortal Lord, let's see if they still dare to look down on me!"
At this moment, the powerful members of the Wu Clan were extremely excited.
Wu Li smiled, then his expression turned serious. He stared at the dozens of people in the room. "You are all people I trust, which is why I'm telling you this. If I find out later that others also know about this, don't blame me..."
He stopped there, his eyes narrowing slightly, a cold glint in them, the meaning clear.
Everyone shuddered, a chill running through them. Without hesitation, they immediately knelt on one knee.
One of the middle-aged men said solemnly, "Elder, please rest assured, we will absolutely not reveal that the clan leader is about to break through to the Immortal Lord. If any one of us were to do so, we would eliminate him without your intervention and make him wish he were dead!"
The others replied in unison, "Please rest assured, Elder!"
Looking at the crowd kneeling on one knee, Wu Li's lips curled up slightly.
The reason he didn't allow these Wu Clan experts to reveal that Wu Yuanzhou was about to break through was because he was afraid that the three forces would find out.
If those three forces knew that Wu Yuanzhou was about to break through to the Immortal Lord, they would definitely join forces to exterminate the entire Wu Clan!
If Wu Yuanzhou were to break through to the Immortal Lord level, the resources and status of the three forces would definitely be affected!
This is not allowed!
They would not allow anyone who could threaten their status and resources to appear, so if they knew that Wu Yuanzhou was about to break through to the Immortal Lord...
They would definitely wipe out the Wu Clan immediately!
This is why Wu Li didn't allow these Wu Clan experts to leak the news that Wu Yuanzhou was about to break through to the Immortal Lord.
Wu Li said, "Alright, get up."
The Wu Clan expert nodded and stood up from the ground.
A young woman asked, "Elder, how should we find the murderer who killed the young master? The Lower Immortal Realm is so vast; if we try to find him, it will be like searching for a needle in a haystack!"
Wu Li glanced at the young woman, said nothing, but extended his right hand, and the next moment, a small bird appeared in his palm.
The bird's feathers are as blue as the sky, its head and chest are dark blue, and its tail feathers are long and broad, larger than its entire body.
Looking at the little bird, the young woman exclaimed, "Looking for it!"
Search!
This is a rather special ferocious beast. Why is it special? Because unlike other ferocious beasts, it cannot fight.
It has only one function: finding people. As long as you show it the face of the person you are looking for, it can lead you to that person.
No matter where that person is, they can be found!
To be honest, this is truly incredible. You have to understand, finding someone just by their appearance is something even the most powerful beings can't do!
Although this ability is incredibly powerful, it can only be used once.
Because once a scout finds the person it's looking for, it will immediately die!
This is the price for using this heaven-defying ability once!
The price of death!
Whatever it is, it must be reasonable.
It would be illogical if Xun could use this ability indefinitely.
The Heavenly Dao would not allow such an unreasonable thing to exist, so it established a rule for Heavenly Dao: using this ability once would come at the cost of death.
Even though it can only be used once, it still drives cultivators in the Upper Immortal Realm crazy.
Countless cultivators coveted this ability of the Xun, so they plundered it extensively. This has led to the Xun becoming an endangered species in the Upper Immortal Realm. Even if you searched the entire Upper Immortal Realm, you might not be able to find a hundred Xun.
That's why the young woman was so shocked when Wu Li took out the search token.
Wu Li looked at the Xun in his palm and smiled, "I bought this Xun from a merchant years ago."
"Merchant?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
Wu Li nodded and said, "Yes, that merchant was very mysterious, claiming to be from some Immortal Treasure Pavilion."
The young woman frowned and said, " Immortal Treasure Pavilion? Why have I never heard of this organization?"
The others also pondered for a few seconds, then shook their heads simultaneously.
They'd never heard of it either.
Wu Li said, "I'd never heard of it either, so I assumed it was some third-rate force. But to my surprise, the merchant just casually pulled out one. I was absolutely shocked."
As he spoke, a bitter look appeared on his face. "At the time, I thought he came from a third-rate force and couldn't be very strong, so I had malicious intentions and wanted to rob him. But as soon as that thought arose, the merchant seemed to sense it and suppressed me directly. I didn't even have the ability to resist!"
After hearing this, everyone in the room looked incredulous.
The middle-aged man asked gravely, "That merchant is that strong?"
Wu Li nodded and said, "Yes, he's that strong. But thankfully, that merchant only trades and doesn't kill, otherwise I would be dead already."
