Chapter 767: Chapter 362: Leaving Fire Sect
“Deeply involved?” Hearing Long Cang’s words, Lu Yi slightly raised an eyebrow.
Lu Yi then asked, “This matter was entrusted to me by one of my seniors, what does this race have to do with? What made Taoist Long say these words?”
Long Cang’s expression grew somber as he spoke, “While I was helping Brother Lu investigate this race, the elder asked me how I knew of this race. The elder mentioned that this race seems to have a significant connection with the establishment of the Leaving Fire Sect, but he did not divulge any more details.”
Hearing this, Lu Yi was startled, “The establishment of the Leaving Fire Sect is related to this race?”
Long Cang nodded slightly, “Yes, that’s what the elder said, and he told me not to investigate further to avoid angering the Leaving Fire Sect.”
Hearing this, Long Cang sighed lightly, showing some remorse, “These are all the clues I’ve managed to find. I fear I won’t be able to help Brother Lu any longer, especially since it involves the Leaving Fire Sect. Our Canglong Clan really can’t dig deeper.”
Lu Yi nodded and chuckled softly, “I understand, Brother Long, and I am already quite satisfied that you could find this clue for me.”
After all, Long Cang was backed by the Canglong Clan, and although the Canglong Clan was a top power in the Cangyan Star Region, they clearly still fell short of the Leaving Fire Sect.
Given that the Remnants of Red Clan are significantly connected with the Leaving Fire Sect, a deeper investigation by Long Cang could easily draw the attention of the Leaving Fire Sect, which would undoubtedly be a massive blow to the Canglong Clan.
“Haha, as long as Brother Lu doesn’t blame me, it’s fine,” Long Cang laughed and continued to offer toasts.
Subsequently, Lu Yi and others accepted Long Cang’s hospitable invitation to stay in his palace.
Upon entering the room, the previously silent Liu Ningshuang and others all furrowed their brows.
The Ling Luo Peak Master turned to Lu Yi and inquired, “What should we do, you brat? The Leaving Fire Sect possesses Immortal Venerable level power, and this Remnants of Red Clan is linked to its establishment. Even the elder of the Canglong Clan is wary of them, how can we proceed with our investigation?”
“Yeah, freak junior brother, what if there had been some conflicts or disputes between the Leaving Fire Sect and the Remnants of Red Clan in the past? Wouldn’t our investigation potentially provoke them?”
“Why don’t we, perhaps, inform that Immortal King senior about this information?” Donggong Ming Yue suggested, her eyes darting about as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi merely smiled lightly, “It’s alright. Now that we have a target, the matter isn’t so complicated. I can use the Fate Skill to understand more.”
Previously, Lu Yi had considered using the Fate Skill to investigate the Remnants of Red Clan, but such an investigation required at least some intertwining of fates.
Earlier, Lu Yi knew nothing about the Remnants of Red Clan, and the Red Immortal King and those remnants were separated by countless eons, the intertwined fates nearly obliterated by time. If Lu Yi possessed the Origin of Destiny and had greater strength, reaching the Immortal King Realm, perhaps he could peer through such vast stretches of time and see the fates of the Remnants of Red Clan. But the current Lu Yi could not.
He could only investigate bit by bit.
But now, the situation was different. He knew at least some information, and with this information, the Fate Skill had a role to play.
Lu Yi exerted all his effort into the Fate Skill. The Destiny Law was profound and exquisite. Although Lu Yi had mastered the Fire Origin, he had not yet grasped the Origin of Destiny. But now, it was sufficient.
He wanted to see a simple fate: whether the Remnants of Red Clan were connected to the Leaving Fire Sect and whether inquiring at the Leaving Fire Sect would pose danger.
In a trance, Lu Yi saw a star system ablaze with flames, immense Power of Flames surging all around; then he saw a handsome man in a red robe standing in the void, waving his hands as flames spewed forth, seemingly ready to burn through the Star Sea.
Lu Yi opened his eyes, mysterious Tao Patterns flickering uncertainly in them.
The Immortal Technique displayed by the handsome man he had just seen bore some resemblance to the Sunburning Starfall Technique, especially the aura that consumed the starry void, almost identical.
Lu Yi also deduced that while there might be some disputes in investigating the Remnants of Red Clan at the Leaving Fire Sect, it would not pose too great a danger.
This was more or less in line with what Lu Yi had understood himself.
After all, his current strength could already be considered invincible in the Immortal Monarch Realm.
Moreover, having mastered the Fire Origin himself, he was a natural counter to any cultivator who also practiced the Fire Law.
Unless they also possessed Origin Power, even Immortal Venerable level powerhouses would be significantly weakened in strength, and with his current condition, even if he couldn’t defeat an Immortal Venerable, escaping from such a powerhouse shouldn’t be a problem.
Given these circumstances, even if he angered the Leaving Fire Sect, it would not be too troublesome.
As Lu Yi opened his eyes, Liu Ningshuang and the others all turned towards him.
“Junior brother, what should we do?”
Lu Yi chuckled, “No problem, let’s make a trip to the Leaving Fire Star System.”
Hearing Lu Yi say this, Liu Ningshuang and the others naturally also felt reassured.
“Alright then.”
“Let’s rest here tonight and set off tomorrow.”
…
The next morning, Lu Yi and his companions said their farewells to Long Cang.
Long Cang felt a hint of regret: “Are you leaving so soon, Brother Lu? I had hoped to show you all around and observe the beautiful sights of the Canglong Clan.”
Lu Yi chuckled softly, “There will be other opportunities. We have pressing matters and must leave now.”
