A Generation's Peak Master, Gu Jiuqi

At the same time, Shuang Qingqing also knew that Small Bamboo Peak was long since no longer what it had once been. Many years ago, it had retained only a few disciples, and every one of them was a core disciple.

Core disciples naturally possessed considerable authority and could learn many inheritances that disciples of the other four peaks had no way of knowing.

Thus, she thought that perhaps she could uncover some information about this matter through Li Yan.

As for Wei Zhongran, she was not familiar with him. Besides, the longer a cultivator lived, the more likely he was to be a cunning schemer.

She had actually considered Soul Searching an important Phantom Sect disciple like Wei Zhongran. But in her current state, snatching someone away beneath the noses of the Phantom Sect's four Nascent Soul cultivators was still unworkable.

Especially since the other side had two late-stage great cultivators. Though Shuang Qingqing feared neither Heaven nor Earth, she still had to consider the Woodflow Sect behind her. After swallowing someone whole, she might not necessarily be able to wipe her mouth clean.

In the end, she set her sights on Li Yan.

"Calling you here today is really only to ask about a small matter. Do you know that Small Bamboo Peak once had a Nascent Soul cultivator named Gu Jiuqi?"

After asking, Shuang Qingqing fixed her blazing gaze on Li Yan. Li Yan was first taken aback and did not answer immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said somewhat strangely,

"Ancestor Gu was a peak master of Small Bamboo Peak over forty thousand years ago. He should have ascended to the Immortal-Spirit Realm long ago."

Li Yan still knew about the Phantom Sect's inheritances, especially the past peak masters and elders of Small Bamboo Peak.
