Immortal Venerable's Order
Chapter 427 - 421: Secret Investigation

Chapter 427: Chapter 421: Secret Investigation

After Gudu Mohan, the top master of the Immortal Domain, killed Tang Jinke, the rumors of Yan Rufeng’s collusion with the Demon Clan were naturally dispelled.

Thus, people not only praised Gudu Mohan for his strong sense of justice and disdain for evil but also gained more respect for Yan Rufeng.

At this moment, Jiang Mang’er, who was internally injured, and Feng Mohan, who had a worried frown, both showed a long-lost smile.

In Wanhua Valley, the seven Immortal Venerables outside the valley and numerous Sect Leaders were invited inside again by Jiang Mang’er.

The banquet had already been prepared, and as the Valley Master of Wanhua Valley, Jiang Mang’er, despite her injuries, warmly invited the Immortals to the feast.

The banquet lasted for nine rounds over four days. However, before the first round ended, Mo Qianchou of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Yun Jiuge of Luoxian City, and Xiao Chuan of Canglan Immortal Sect, all excused themselves and left.

Outside Wanhua Valley, Xiao Chuan, closely following Mo Qianchou, asked, "Master Mo, before he died, Tang Jinke entrusted his sect to you; are you really prepared to take over?"

Mo Qianchou paused and said, "Yuanfa Immortal Sect has a million years of tradition. Even without Tang Jinke, it can still stand firm in the Immortal Domain. What qualifications do I have to take over Yuanfa Immortal Sect?"

"What if they insist on merging with your Heavenly Dao Sect?" Xiao Chuan pressed further.

"Then I cannot agree to their request," Mo Qianchou replied.

A flash of rainbow light streaked by, and Mo Qianchou disappeared in front of Xiao Chuan.

"Haha!"

Xiao Chuan let out a cold laugh. As he was about to rise into the air and leave, he heard someone calling from behind.

"Brother Xiao, please wait!"

Xiao Chuan recognized Yun Jiuge’s voice and turned with a smile.

"Lord Yun, if there’s nothing urgent, just return to your Luoxian City and stay there."

"Why, Brother Xiao, you..."

Xiao Chuan interrupted, "Lord Yun, are we that familiar?"

Frowning, Yun Jiuge’s expression changed, puzzled: "What’s wrong with him? He suddenly seems so strange..."

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of light, Yun Jiuge noticed that Xiao Chuan had sped away.

Inside Wanhua Valley, there was singing, dancing, and joyous laughter.

As the first round of the banquet ended, Lei Ming from Wanjie Mountain and Lin Xiaoyun from Yiluan Immortal Sect hurriedly said their goodbyes to Jiang Mang’er and left the valley.

Outside Xuanming Star, Lin Youyun, who had been following Lei Ming in the void, finally could not hold back and asked, "Brother Lei, do you think Yan Rufeng has truly been resurrected?"

"In that great battle ten years ago, when Yan Rufeng’s life force was drained, he chose to self-detonate. An Immortal Venerable’s self-detonation causes their Divine Soul to be utterly destroyed. In such a situation, how could anyone achieve resurrection?"

Lin Youyun became puzzled.

"Then why did Tang Jinke claim that Emperor Yan has been resurrected?"

Lei Ming took a deep breath.

"Tang Jinke is dead, and we can’t verify it. However, it is perplexing that Yun Jiuge, who spread the rumors, did not face punishment from Brother Gudu."

Lin Youyun pondered for a moment, then said, "In this matter, the blame does not lie with Yun Jiuge. Moreover, half a year ago, at the strong request of Jiang Mang’er and Feng Mohan, Yun Jiuge not only admitted his mistake but also issued an announcement to clear Yan Rufeng’s name. If I were Gudu Mohan, I wouldn’t punish Yun Jiuge either."

"Haha!"

Lei Ming let out two cold laughs.

"Let’s hope so..."

Lei Ming did not linger further, bid farewell to Lin Youyun, and headed towards the Dragon Valley, Yuanfa Immortal Sect...

Four days later, in Wanhua Valley, after the last banquet ended, Jiang Xuedao from White Jade Immortal Pavilion and Ji Chan from Purple Gold Palace, along with numerous Sect Leaders, bade farewell to Jiang Mang’er.

After the Sect Leaders left, Ji Chan and Jiang Xuedao, whose sects were both based in Immortal Emperor Star, traveled together.

During the journey, Ji Chan, who had been frowning, suddenly halted in the void.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuedao asked, "Brother Ji, why have you stopped?"

"Brother Jiang, I’ve been doubting these past few days that Tang Jinke might have actually seen Yan Rufeng."

"Oh, what makes you think so?"

"Brother Jiang, think about it. Tang Jinke, as the Sect Master of Yuanfa Immortal Sect and a respected Immortal Venerable, would he be so bored as to create and spread rumors?"

"Haha!"

Jiang Xuedao laughed and said, "Brother Ji, I’ve thought about it too, but the fact remains that the disciples sent by the various sects, including some strong Immortal Emperor Realm experts, searched the entire Immortal Domain."

"And yet, those people, in their extensive search, did not find him. We must remember that if Yan Rufeng was resurrected, his cultivation would only be at the Golden Immortal Realm."

"Sigh..."

Ji Chan sighed and said, "It seems that the news of Emperor Yan’s resurrection might indeed have been fabricated by Tang Jinke. But what purpose would he have for doing so?"

"Brother Ji, I don’t care about his motives. I just hope the news of Emperor Yan’s resurrection is true."

"Yes, Emperor Yan was a once-in-a-million-years Immortal Venerable. It’s such a pity he vanished so suddenly."

"I really hope one day, he suddenly stands before us."

Feeling somewhat downcast, Ji Chan and Jiang Xuedao stopped speaking and headed straight for Immortal Emperor Star...

Laughter echoed from the depths of Wanhua Valley.

Butterflies fluttered, and the scent of flowers filled the air.

Jiang Mang’er, dressed in an unusually beautiful purple gown, looked so radiant that it was hard to tell she was still an injured woman.

"Sister Mo Han, can we bring Brother Rufeng over now?"

"Indeed!"

"Haha!!"

Feng Mohan suddenly thought of something and laughed heartily.

"Sister Mang’er, but Moran hasn’t returned from Qiming Star yet, so how can we bring Rufeng over?"

"Ugh!"

Jiang Mang’er’s expression stiffened a bit and she said helplessly, "Alright, we’ll wait for Sister Moran to return before we discuss it..."

In Dragon Valley, Yuanfa Immortal Sect, the entire sect was shrouded in grief.

In the Sect Main Hall, an elder spoke with a heavy heart, "Brother Mo, my son Jinke was always true to himself, never competing with others. Why was he killed by Gudu Mohan after visiting Wanhua Valley?"

The elder’s name was Tang Liben, father of Tang Jinke.

"Because he spread rumors, slandering Yan Rufeng for colluding with the Demon Clan, provoking public outrage, and thus..."

"That’s nothing but nonsense!"

Mo Qianchou frowned.

"Brother Tang, it wasn’t me who said that."

"Brother Mo, I know you wouldn’t say that."

"Brother Tang, I don’t understand what made Jinke so sure that Yan Rufeng was resurrected?"

Tang Liben squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Half a year ago, my son suddenly told me that the Dragon Transformation Pool had evolved into two Five-Clawed Golden Dragons."

"What?"

Mo Qianchou’s face showed shock.

"Two Five-Clawed Golden Dragons?"

"In the Immortal Domain, who could have such great fortune?"

"According to the portraits drawn by the disciples on the scene, the one who took the two Five-Clawed Golden Dragons was Yan Rufeng."

"Brother Tang, where is that disciple? I have some questions to ask him."
