“Hmph, it’s a pity that his wishful thinking still failed,” said Ling Chuxi coldly. “The one called Yuan Hui showed me a sect leader’s disciple token, so this matter is definitely related to another sect leader’s disciple. It’s probably Big Brother’s rival who wants to use me to deal with.” Ling Chuxi was a quick thinker: it didn’t take her long to understand the crux of the matter.
“That’s right, but not only did his wishful thinking fail this time, we also got a blessing in disguise.” Huangfu Qingjue smiled and walked forward.
“A blessing in disguise?” Ling Chuxi looked around and really couldn’t see where the blessing was. But since Huangfu Qingjue said so, he must have his reasons, so she held Huangfu Qingjue’s hand and walked forward.
Ling Chuxi and Huangfu Qingjue walked forward as if they were walking on solid ground. However, they felt like they were stepping into the void, which was quite an extraordinary feeling.
Huangfu Qingjue stopped in front of a huge rock. They had arrived at their destination.
“Eh… This is?” Ling Chuxi looked at the rock in surprise.
A middle-aged man in his forties was leaning against the rock. He had sword-shaped eyebrows and a sharp nose. His face had features as sharp as a knife, and he looked very valiant. However, his eyes were closed and he seemed to be at peace as if he was in a deep sleep.
There was actually someone in this space crack? Ling Chuxi unconsciously used the Mind Training Chant to investigate. She was surprised to find that this person had been dead for God-knows-how-long, but his facial features were very lifelike. Even the colour of his skin was the same as when he was alive.
The most surprising thing was that this person was only wearing underwear. There was nothing on him except for a strange-looking scabbard.
It was only because of Huangfu Qingjue that Ling Chuxi was able to withstand the turbulence earlier. The man in front of her must be extremely strong to be able to come here alone. What puzzled Ling Chuxi was who he was. How did he die here, and why was he only wearing underwear? Where did his blade go?
“Don’t you find his scabbard familiar?” asked Huangfu Qingjue.
Ling Chuxi took a closer look. Indeed, his scabbard had strange lines on it and it looked very familiar. After thinking for a while, Ling Chuxi remembered where she had seen it before. The scabbard and the body of Gongxi Kuangdao looked like they were carved from the same mould. He must have been a member of the Gongxi Clan.
“He is a member of the Gongxi Clan?” asked Ling Chuxi in surprise.
‘Gongxi Luanren?’ Was that his name? Ling Chuxi picked up the scabbard and found a few small words engraved on it.
“It’s really him. Gongxi Luanren was the last clan leader of the Gongxi Clan in the Sacred Realm of the Sects. At that time, the Gongxi Clan was attacked by all the major sects. Gongxi Luanren knew that he couldn’t stand up against them, so he went to find a treasure that could restore the Gongxi Clan’s prestige. However, he never came back. So it seems that he died here,” said Huangfu Qingjue.
Treasure? Ling Chuxi suddenly thought of the treasure that Gongxi Kuangdao was hoping to find by sneaking into Flowing Clouds Sect. Could it be that he was looking for the same thing as Gongxi Luanren?
“If I’m not wrong, Gong Luanren must have found something and sent the clue back to the Gongxi Clan. However, he didn’t manage to return and died in this dimensional crack. After the Gongxi clan received the clue, they didn’t have time to move again before they were chased into the demon dimension. Gongxi Kuangdao must have also known about this clue, which was why he came to Flowing Clouds Sect to search for the treasure.” Huangfu Qingjue’s guess was similar to Ling Chuxi’s.
