Chapter 937: 846 Crisis (Gone Today)

Qin Yan fell at the Heart Demon Pass, while Qin Han was still in seclusion.

"This is an unavoidable matter. If one could overcome the Heart Demon Pass just with the Green Profound Passing Misery Pill and the Thunder Exorcism Talisman, there would be more Mahayana Cultivators among the great powers, and not so many cultivators would fall at the Heart Demon Pass."

Shen Long said.

Chu Buyu nodded in agreement: "Yes! Hopefully, Senior Brother Qin can ascend into the Mahayana Realm!"

"Lady, you should focus on consolidating your realm first! In a while, I will accompany you to the auction held by the Wanhai Trade Alliance, hoping to bid for the Essence Blood of an Eighth Rank Monster Bird with a Vermilion Bird Bloodline. Changfeng, have someone gather information about the auction and keep an eye on the situation at the Heavenly Demon Palace’s selection."

Shen Long said.

Su Changfeng agreed, and Shen Long and Chu Buyu left the place, while Mo Bingbing had people take care of things here.

······

Qingxuan Realm, Qingxuan Clan.

In a quiet manor, Lai Chang, Lai Ting, Tao Wu, and other five Mahayana Cultivators sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

Tao Wu held a Nascent Soul in her hand, her gaze was somber.

"It seems the Yang Family plans to refine a Xuantian Treasure; they’ve asked the Lin Family to collect a large amount of Eighth Rank materials. It looks like they are for a defensive Xuantian Treasure."

Tao Wu frowned and said.

They had people attack the Lin Family’s caravan, capturing the Nascent Soul of a Mahayana Cultivator from the Lin Family to Soul Search for secrets.

"A defensive Xuantian Treasure? Where did the Yang Family get the materials? From Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven?"

Lai Ting speculated.

"It must be. After Yang Yixin left the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven, the Yang Family began to massively collect defensive Eighth Rank materials. Rumor has it that Yang Yuwei died at the hands of the Dark Qilin. I have a guess: Yang Yuwei and Yang Yixin entered the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven looking for the Skywolf Divine Monarch, mainly because the Skywolf Divine Monarch possessed a Xuantian Object. They succeeded in snatching the Xuantian Object and the Skywolf Divine Monarch was saved by the Dark Qilin. The Yang Family is throwing obstacles in our way because they do not want us to learn of this."

Lai Chang shared his hypothesis.

"No, that doesn’t make sense. The Yang Family is a True Spirit Noble Family. Even if they have a defensive Xuantian Treasure, we cannot possibly assault the Yang Family. The Yang Family must have a bigger scheme in searching for the Skywolf Divine Monarch. Could it be an Immortal Artifact?"

Tao Wu analyzed.

Even if the outside world knew about the Yang Family’s defensive Xuantian Treasure, they would not dare to attack the Yang Family, which was not a small power.

"An Immortal Artifact? That’s possible. Such cases have happened before. However, all of this is our speculation without evidence. The key is still to find the Skywolf Divine Monarch."

Lai Ting said, frowning.

They would not realistically go into a death struggle with the Yang Family over a mere speculation.

"Finding the Skywolf Divine Monarch would lead us to the Dark Qilin. We may have no evidence, but the Yang Family has both motive and ability to interfere with our extermination of the Dark Qilin. We cannot just let it go. Spread the word that the Yang Family has refined a defensive Xuantian Treasure and the Dark Qilin carries an Immortal Artifact. If we cannot exterminate the Dark Qilin, we cannot let the Yang Family benefit."

Tao Wu suggested.

She intended to muddle the waters, which would draw much more attention to the Yang Family.

"Let’s do that! If other forces know that the Dark Qilin has an Immortal Artifact, they will definitely pay more attention to this matter, and the Dark Qilin will not be able to cultivate in peace."

Lai Ting agreed.

The others had no objections. With a consensus reached, the news quickly spread, and with the push from both clans, it rapidly disseminated across several realms.

······

Tianxuan Realm, Heavenly Demon Palace.

In a quiet manor, Wu Qian and a curvaceous woman in a golden dress sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, leisurely sipping tea and chatting.

"Sister Wu, have you not yet ascertained that person’s background?"

The woman in the golden dress asked.

Ning Xiang, at the Great Vehicle Early Stage.

"Not yet, but I expect there will be news soon."

Wu Qian said.

Lin Ming walked in briskly, bowed respectfully and said, "Master, we have figured out that person’s details. He comes from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot’s Qianling Sect, and he is the founding ancestor of the Qianling Sect, Yuling True Monarch, and the Qianling Sect currently has two Mahayana Cultivators."

"Qianling Sect?"

Wu Qian frowned; he had never heard of this sect.

"Qianling Sect hasn’t risen for long, in the Green Lotus Continent. Right, they have a good relationship with the Wang Family which Five Thunder Divine Monarch comes from. The newly advanced Mahayana Cultivator, Wang Tianyang of the Wang Family, is holding a Mahayana celebration which both Yuling True Monarch and Shen Long are attending. Shen Long cultivates the Myriad Demons True Scripture."

Lin Ming said slowly.

"Five Thunder Divine Monarch!"

A hint of fear flashed in Wu Qian’s eyes; he was of course aware of the name of Five Thunder Divine Monarch.

"Myriad Demons True Scripture? Has he successfully cultivated to the tenth layer?"

Ning Xiang pressed.

"Unclear, I’ve already sent people to investigate."

Lin Ming stated, recalling something, he then added, "Right, I heard that the True Spirit Noble Family, the Yang Family, has refined a Xuantian Treasure for defense, and the Dark Qilin possesses an Immortal Artifact."

"Neither the True Spirit Noble Family nor Dark Qilin are entities we can afford to provoke. Get a clear understanding of Qianling Sect’s background. If Shen Long has succeeded in cultivating the tenth layer of the Myriad Demons True Scripture, that item will not be recoverable either."

Wu Qian instructed.

"Yes, Master."

Lin Ming complied, taking his leave to carry out the mission.

...

Yaoguang Realm, a hidden cavern.

Dark Qilin was sitting cross-legged on the ground while Skywolf Divine Monarch stood by.

Huang Long True Monarch flew in, speaking earnestly, "Mr. Mo, I heard that the True Spirit Noble Family, the Yang Family, has refined a Xuantian Treasure for defense, and there is news that you possess an Immortal Artifact?"

"Hmph, they are trying to slander me, to draw the attention of the True Spirit Noble Family to my whereabouts. Qingxuan Clan, I’ll remember this debt. Constantly having to change our place of residence is not a solution. Have you found out which dangerous places are well-known?"

Dark Qilin inquired.

"Among the numerous realms around us, Zhuixian Cave Heaven in the Sky-High Realm is notoriously dangerous. It is rumored to be the daoist field of Myriad Wood Heavenly Venerable, and there’s also a rumour it belongs to a True Immortal. Even a Mahayana Mid Stage Cultivator possessing a Xuantian Treasure can perish upon entering Zhuixian Cave Heaven."

Huang Long True Monarch reported truthfully.

"Let’s head to the Sky-High Realm then. If they dare, let them follow us into the Zhuixian Cave Heaven of the Sky-High Realm."

Dark Qilin declared solemnly, leaving the place with Huang Long True Monarch and Skywolf Divine Monarch.

...

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Green Lotus Continent, Qianling Sect.

Golden Roc Peak, Shen Long and Chu Buyu were sitting in a Green Stone Pavilion, with Su Changfeng and Qin Yuying standing by.

"We’re going to the Tianquan Realm to attend an auction held by the Wanhai Trade Alliance; you should come along too! It will be good for you to broaden your horizons."

Shen Long said.

Chu Buyu had already consolidated her realm and was capable of refining a Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure.

"Yes, Master."

Su Changfeng and Qin Yuying answered in unison with smiles on their faces.

Wang Rui has ascended to the Void Refinement Phase but encountered a bottleneck, so he went out to travel.

Sun Lin entered, bowed respectfully, and said, "Uncle Shen, Master Aunt Chu, Five Thunder Divine Monarch and Myriad Flower Fairy have come to visit."

"Please invite them to Golden Roc Peak, you may leave first."

Shen Long ordered.

Sun Lin complied, leaving to carry out the instructions, while Su Changfeng and Qin Yuying withdrew.

"Taoist Friend Wang and Fairy Lin are coming together; they are probably also planning to attend the auction held by the Wanhai Trade Alliance."

Chu Buyu speculated.
