Sima Yao hurriedly entered the courtyard: "Something has happened! Chen Sansi is making a move."
Qian Qiren said solemnly: "Is he really planning to attack the Capital City? Quick, prepare the formation!"
Sima Yao interrupted: "The Beiliang army is already preparing to retreat. Chen Sansi has not come to the Capital City but left a clone in the army. His true self has left the formation and headed east."
Qian Qiren was not too concerned, only finding it a bit strange.
However, Huang Laojiu, who had not been there previously, appeared silently upon hearing this. He grabbed Sima Yao’s wrist and asked urgently: "Are you sure he went east?"
Sima Yao nodded vigorously: "Absolutely certain!"
Cui Zhichen suddenly realized: "If you keep going east past Guan Du, it’s the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein! He’s heading towards the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein!"
"Sun Xiangzong, could it be Sun Xiangzong?"
Qian Qiren exclaimed loudly: "Sun Xiangzong once used a sealing spirit great formation to destroy an ancestor vein at the ends of the earth!
"Now Chen Sansi has broken through to the True Power Middle Stage, and his injuries are mostly healed. Is it possible he plans to emulate his master and destroy the ancestor vein?!"
Cui Zhichen asked nervously: "Can he do it?"
Qian Qiren paced back and forth: "Back in Youlan Capital, I deliberately got close to Feng Chu Fang Qingyun, Sun Xiangzong’s fourth disciple, to inquire about secrets regarding the Guardian. Judging by his tone, Sun Xiangzong might have really left something behind!"
The matter of the Guardian is known to few.
"If that’s the case..."
Cui Zhichen’s expression grew increasingly grave as he urgently said to those around him: "It’s really possible that Chen San could destroy the ancestor vein! If so, all our sacrifices would have been in vain! Senior Huang, you..."
Before the words were finished, the braying of a donkey sounded in their ears, and the donkey cart soared into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"What is Old Huang planning, to chase Chen Sansi alone, can he manage it?"
"Then what are we waiting for, let’s go together!"
Cui Zhichen watched the disappearing silhouette of the old farmer, exhaling a long sigh of relief: "Senior Huang has finally made a move, so let’s not become a burden."
Qian Qiren said dismissively: "Brother Cui, what are you blabbering about, how could Old Huang possibly defeat Chen Sansi on his own!?"
Cui Zhichen couldn’t help but say: "You’re confused! Haven’t you realized by now?! It’s not that the sect hasn’t sent an elder, they’ve already sent one!"
Not only Qian Qiren, but all the cultivators were stunned, feeling incredulous soon after.
"Daoist Cui, you’re the one talking nonsense."
"We’ve been at Guiyuan Sect for so many years, and we’ve never heard of an elder with the surname Huang."
"Wait, I might have thought of someone."
Qian Qiren said somewhat blankly: "Fellow brothers, have you ever heard of our Guiyuan Sect’s Supreme Elder?"
Most of the cultivators present were under fifty years old, but they had heard of the sect’s Supreme Elder.
In general, every sect has a Sect Master, Elders, and Supreme Elders, with the Supreme Elders being the highest in rank.
The Supreme Elder of Guiyuan Sect, Master Feng Qi, has been in seclusion for over eighty years.
This younger generation had never seen him.
"Do you mean that Huang Laojiu is our Supreme Elder?!"
The mountain ranges stretched endlessly, and the layers of forests were dyed in colors.
The towering peaks looked like silent giant gods, looming coldly over the land, with a splash of the setting sun’s afterglow casting the last warmth among them.
A figure wearing a spirited white robe was gliding on a flying sword at low altitude between the mountains and forests. He gazed at the beautiful sunset scenery of thousands of miles, feeling the breeze gently blowing on his face, and naturally opened his arms to embrace the Heaven and Earth Qi.
Huang Laojiu, or rather the Supreme Elder of Guiyuan Sect, Master Feng Qi, had already appeared behind the figure in the white robe. Above his Heavenly Spirit, an ancient and worn-out compass emerged and was crazily spinning on its own, with cracks extending over its surface.
The Wind Queen’s Strange Door Plate!
This was a relic extracted by the Guiyuan Sect with immense effort from a site on Sky Water Continent, the only one in Heavenly Water!
Its function was to obscure the heavenly secrets, and even the seal of Eastern Continent couldn’t decipher it.
But that was if one doesn’t make a move.
Once you make a move, you would be captured by the seal, and the Wind Queen’s Strange Door Plate would get damaged, making it impossible to fully obscure heavenly secrets anymore, and it would self-destruct in a short time.
Attempting a second strike would result in death under the suppression of the Heaven and Earth Seal.
After one strike, even if this Supreme Elder possessed late-stage Golden Core cultivation, he didn’t dare to show his power, and could only use Golden Core realm escape techniques to flee quickly, or else he would perish!
But the ancestor vein concerns the sect’s millennial prosperity, along with many secrets, so Huang Laojiu had to come personally to be completely assured.
This trip was well worth it.
In a desolate land with exhausted spiritual energy, how many treasures lie? If all could be obtained, what great fortune and opportunity it would be.
Guiyuan Sect’s ascension to a Nascent Soul sect is only a matter of time.
And in this Divine Continent, there is also this exceptionally gifted young person in front of him!
Given this person’s martial arts talent, if one day he obtained the inheritance beyond True Power, along with the Xuanzhu in hand, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Huang Laojiu hadn’t made a move, but rather used someone else’s hand to kill!
