Chapter 812: 721 Got it (not available today)

In the eastern part of the Yulian Realm, a continuous expanse of verdant mountains stretched far into the distance, where Shen Long stood atop the back of a massive Wind Thunder Centipede, his Divine Sense fully extended.

Before long, the ground began to shake violently as an enormous Spirit-Seeking Mouse burrowed out from beneath the surface.

"Your Excellency, we haven’t detected any powerful Divine Sense from a Soul Transformation Cultivator."

The Spirit-Seeking Mouse reported.

A clear and resonant bird call rang out, and a gigantic Ice Eagle flew in from the distant horizon, coming to a halt with a flicker.

"Your Excellency, I’ve scouted the Han Family, and there’s no fluctuation of a Divine Soul from a Soul Transformation Cultivator."

The Ice Eagle spoke.

They were all mutated; the Ice Eagle could sense the strength of living beings’ Divine Souls, and ordinary Fourth Rank Formations could not conceal such souls.

For Shen Long’s descent to The Lower Realm this time, he brought with him many Mutated Spiritual Beasts and Insects, Spirit Birds, to lend him a hand. Among these were a Red Fire Monkey and an Ice Eagle that could sense the fluctuations of living beings’ Divine Souls.

Shen Long nodded, his brow furrowing as he looked towards the southwest, where an immense Wind Thunder Centipede came flying over.

"Your Excellency, we’ve discovered a suspicious target. The matriarch is leading a team guarding it there and has sent me to inform you."

The Wind Thunder Centipede spoke.

"Where is she now?"

Shen Long asked.

He and Chu Buyu had split into two teams, exploring the southeastern and northwestern parts of the Yulian Realm, respectively.

"The matriarch is in the Qingyang Mountain Range, located in the southwest of the Yulian Realm. The suspect is at the Qingyang Sect, which has no Soul Transformation Cultivator."

The Wind Thunder Centipede said.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu arrived in the Yulian Realm and began by gathering intelligence on the realm’s Soul Transformation Cultivators and the situation of the various major forces.

They had discovered more than ten Soul Transformation Cultivators and, after investigation, determined none was Fairy Yulian.

"Let’s go, we must hurry over there immediately."

Shen Long said in a grave tone, and left the place.

······

In the Zihao Realm, Pegasus Prairie.

A deafening explosion sounded, as a vast surge of golden light soared into the sky, shaking the earth and mountains.

As the golden light dissipated, the figures of Zhu Qing and Mo Xin appeared, both with icy expressions.

"Fairy Zhu, there must be some misunderstanding here. We of the Five Lights Clan are not afraid of your Yaksha Clan; we simply don’t want to be plotted against."

Mo Xin said solemnly.

The battle thus far had resulted in the loss of over fifty Soul Transformation Cultivators on both sides. Mo Xin was not afraid of the cultivators from the Yaksha Clan, but something felt off to him.

According to the information he had, it was Zhu Yue who ordered the initiation of the conflict and also Zhu Yue who claimed they were attacked by the Five Lights Sect Cultivator. From beginning to end, Zhu Yue was the only witness, but this very witness had died at the front lines, which was highly unusual.

"Plotting? Zhu Yue herself said it. Could she be lying?"

Zhu Qing asked with a cold face.

"You’re Zhu Yue, would you personally lead the charge into battle? Don’t you find it odd? She died in the front lines before your descent to The Lower Realm, clearly stoking enmity."

Mo Xin analyzed.

Putting himself in her shoes, he would not take the lead in the charge.

"Zhu Yue said that the attacking cultivators from the Five Lights Clan had an Early Stage Fourth Rank Soul-devouring Clam, and just so happens, your clansmen also possess a Soul-devouring Clam? What a coincidence?"

Zhu Qing said with a frown.

"With a premeditated plan against an unsuspecting target, if someone purposely wanted to provoke a great war between our two clans, there would be no problem. Let me hypothesize that Fairy Zhu has been controlled by the enemy. There’s no such method in The Lower Realm, but plenty in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot. I swear on my Daoist heart that I have absolutely not sent anyone to attack your Yaksha Clan cultivators. If you don’t believe me, we can continue fighting and let others benefit."

Mo Xin said with a grim expression.

He had a bold suspicion that all of this was a trap designed by Fairy Yulian’s incarnation, aiming to use the Yaksha Clan’s power to deal with the Five Lights Clan.

Just as Zhu Qing was about to say something, a stream of azure light appeared in the distant sky and halted with a flicker. It revealed a flying boat shimmering with blue light and a group of cultivators standing aboard.

A voluptuous woman in a purple dress stood in the forefront, her expression ice-cold.

"Mo Yun, hold back, there’s a misunderstanding."

Mo Xin instructed.

"I will temporarily return to report. There are indeed many doubts about this matter; we will withdraw our forces first."

After saying this, Zhu Qing transformed into an Escape Light and flew toward the distant horizon.

Mo Xin made no move to stop her, commanding, "Let’s also return. If I find out who is responsible, I will not hesitate to extract their soul and refine their spirit."

Yaksha Clan cultivators and Five Lights Clan cultivators temporarily ceased fire, and both sides began thorough investigations.

Qingyang Mountain Range, Qingyang Sect.

In a certain secret chamber, a young girl in a golden dress was sitting cross-legged on a blue cushion, her eyes slightly closed.

After a while, she opened her eyes and frowned.

For some reason, she felt restless, always feeling that something big was about to happen.

With a thought, Ye Yang walked in.

"Master, do you have any orders?"

Ye Yang asked.

"Is there anything unusual in the Jade Lotus Realm?"

The girl in the golden dress asked.

"No, but the Five Lights Clan and the Yaksha Clan have started fighting fiercely. More than sixty realms have been affected by the flames of war, but the war hasn’t reached our Jade Lotus Realm yet; it’s calm."

Ye Yang truthfully replied.

"I always feel something is not right. We must move immediately; we can’t stay here."

The girl in the golden dress instructed.

"Yes, Master."

Ye Yang agreed, then with a flick of his sleeve, a golden flying boat flew out.

Qingyang Sect, a gigantic valley blanketed by white mist; beneath the white mist.

Chu Buyu and a Spirit-Seeking Mouse were standing in an open area. Above them, five Concealment Spirit Pearls floated, casting down a thick yellow light screen that enveloped both Chu Buyu and the Spirit-Seeking Mouse.

"Master, it seems she has discovered something and is planning to flee. However, she’s not with Ye Yang. Instead, she’s created a decoy with a fifth-rank talisman."

The Spirit-Seeking Mouse said.

Being a mutated spirit beast, it could easily see through fifth-rank formations; the Qingyang Sect only had fourth-rank formations.

The movements of Fairy Yulian’s clone were completely visible to it; nowhere could she hide.

"Where is she herself?"

Chu Buyu asked.

"Still in the Qingyang Palace!"

The Spirit-Seeking Mouse said.

Chu Buyu raised her right hand, and a yellow talisman with a flickering light and a human figure on it, a Divinity Transformation Stage Rune Soldier, flew out.

With a pinch of her fingers, the yellow talisman shone brightly, transforming into a robust youth in yellow clothing.

The youth in yellow turned into a yellow escape light and flew out, attacking Ye Yang.

Inside Qingyang Palace, the girl in the golden dress sat cross-legged on a blue cushion, her right hand holding a golden sphere.

"As I thought, there is a problem. They even infiltrated the Qingyang Sect; good thing I was cautious."

The girl in the golden dress said somewhat relievedly.

A robust youth in yellow clothing stood in the sky, and with a movement of his fists, a torrent of yellow fist shadows shot out, heading straight for Ye Yang.

Ye Yang’s face paled with shock, and he hurriedly maneuvered the golden flying boat to dodge. The yellow fist shadows smashed into the buildings of the Qingyang Sect, causing them to crack apart.

The Qingyang Palace was struck by several yellow fist shadows and was reduced to ruins.

"Bad news, enemy attack, enemy attack."

The alarm sounded loudly, and a large number of Qingyang Sect disciples rushed over.

Just then, an ear-piercing dragon roar resounded, and the Qingyang Sect cultivators’ gazes became dull.

A flash of red light, and the Qianhuo Tower appeared without warning above the Qingyang Palace, firing a red glow from its base that enveloped a humanoid figure and swept it into the Qianhuo Tower.

Almost at the same time, ripples appeared above Ye Yang’s head, and a golden giant tower materialized. A golden glow shot out from the base of the tower, enveloping Ye Yang and sweeping him into the golden giant tower.

A red escape light flew in, entering the Qianhuo Tower.

In a grand hall resplendent in gold and jade, the girl in the golden dress had a vacant look in her eyes, her body bound by multiple red light beams.

Chu Buyu stood by, having released a Shen Die.

A short half an hour later, the girl in the golden dress’s gaze returned to normal. Seeing Chu Buyyu, she was greatly shaken.

"Fairy Yulian, hello there!"

Chu Buyu greeted her.
