Chapter 1054: Chapter 808: Wrapping up the East Wilderness

This wait lasted for the better part of a day, from early morning till late afternoon.

Fortunately, those seated were all capable of keeping their composure and did not become impatient.

At a certain moment, Li Feipeng suddenly started, as if he had received some message.

Yet before he could act, everyone saw, within the Great Hall, Spiritual Light converged suddenly, revealing a figure out of the blue.

Dressed in Scholarly Robes, with white hair casually tied behind his head, a Dao Wheel floating above, the most eye-catching was his countenance that seemed like a masterpiece of heaven and earth, especially with that sacred aura.

Anyone who looked upon him would never doubt that he was an Immortal; upon the first glance, most would likely be momentarily stunned.

"Disciple pays respect to Master!"

"Welcome Red Sun Immortal Venerate!"

"Welcome the Immortal Venerate to the East Desolate!"

"······"

Following the man’s appearance, under Li Feipeng’s lead, one after another immediately performed ceremonial greetings.

Wang Zijia scanned the crowd; there were quite a number of people present, presumably all the notable figures of the East Desolate Taiqing Palace had arrived.

"Why such a grand reception?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feipeng replied, "Master, your return to the Taiqing Palace deserves a welcome ceremony. Knowing that Master dislikes trouble, we did not disturb the disciples below in the palace."

Wang Zijia casually waved his hand, saying, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may leave. There’s no need for excessive fanfare; I will depart once my business here is concluded."

"We obey the Immortal Venerate’s Decree!"

The surrounding God Monarchs responded at once.

Undoubtedly, many felt a sense of disappointment; after all, the significance of this ’thick thigh’ was well known not just within the palace, but throughout the entire Central Immortal Domain, indeed throughout all of Shen Hong.

If given the chance, who wouldn’t want to cling to it?

·······

One by one, the crowd withdrew, and shortly, only Wang Zijia and Li Feipeng were left within the Great Hall.

Wang Zijia took his seat upon the Jade Throne of the Great Hall and asked, "Have you found anything about the matter I had you look into?"

"Reporting to Master, after two months of continuous search, I have found some clues about the Insane God Artifacts," Li Feipeng replied accordingly.

’So someone did bring it to the East Wilderness!’

Wang Zijia’s heart leaped with joy, but his expression remained calm and detached as he asked, "How many have been found?"

Li Feipeng gestured, and a Light Screen appeared; he activated the screen and reported, "According to my investigation, the issue with the Witch Realm was not settled until Uncle Fire Spirit, himself, conducted a Seize World."

"After that Li Benlin, along with the four Heavenly Immortal Level Senior Brothers who came to handle the matter, conducted a thorough purge. During this, almost all the monks above the Eastern Wasteland God Monarch Realm were gathered there."

"So, during their battles with those Insane Gods, many artifacts were brought over by these monks."

"Among them, the Twelve Insane God Artifacts were the most powerful treasures of that time. Although tainted with evil influences and thus shunned by disciples from noble lineages, they were still, at the very least, Seventh Grade Immortal Treasures."

"Thus, it was said that quite an uproar was caused over their possession back then."

"According to my investigation, two Insane Artifacts surfaced at that time, consecutively falling into the hands of a Devil Gate God Monarch and a Heterodox Dao cultivator, who took them back to the East Wilderness."

"About half a year after returning to the East Wilderness, disturbances were reportedly caused by these items."

"Until about a year or two ago, these two individuals perished one after the other, rumored to have been killed by the same person, who is suspected to possess a third artifact and is discreetly murdering and collecting, seemingly intent on gathering these Insane Artifacts."

At this point, Wang Zijia’s brow furrowed, and he said, "So you’re saying that only two are confirmed, and one is still in doubt?"

Li Feipeng nodded, saying, "According to my investigation, that should be the case."

Wang Zijia frowned and said, "But according to the information I have, there should be four in the East Wilderness."

"Disciple has failed to find more than three clues," Li Feipeng paused before speaking, "If there really is a fourth, then there are only two possibilities."

Wang Zijia looked at him, but did not interrupt.

Li Feipeng continued, "The first is that someone realized the problem early on and has hidden it well, without leaving any trace. But, this possibility is not high."

"The second is that not only monks from the East Wilderness, but also from other domains, were involved. If there’s a fourth artifact, it might have been taken away by people from other domains, such as a Devil Cultivator from West Qiang."

"These kinds of Insane Artifacts, even if not belonging to a disciple of noble origins, would still be somewhat feared by those on the Righteous Path. It’s those crazies from the Magic Sect who are most likely to take such risks."

Wang Zijia pondered in frown, but then he remembered that his actual purpose was to gather Resources, not truly to assemble some divine weapon armament. Missing one artifact would be just that - missing an artifact.

After his thoughts cleared, Wang Zijia stopped dwelling on the issue.

"Do you know who the person suspected of having one artifact is? Have you confirmed his identity?" Wang Zijia asked.

Li Feipeng replied respectfully, "Disciple has utilized many connections and gathered various pieces of information, initially deducing that it should be the Turbid Immortal from the Tianxuan Ghost Demon Sect, Tuobafeihu, acting in secret."

"However, as this person practices Soul Puppets and masters many Taboo Techniques, often turning others into his Avatar Puppets and acting unpredictably, it is difficult to discern the true from the false."

"After finding traces, I’ve been attempting to locate this individual, but he is quite elusive, and I have not yet found his specific trail."

Wang Zijia, unconcerned, said, "Then identify the probable area, even a rough estimate will do."
