Chapter 818: Chapter 48: The Past of Wen Yuan [Combined]_3

"What?" asked Elder Chuan Jian.

Master Wen Yuan shifted his gaze, looking towards the northwest and replied, "Shenxu Temple."

Indeed.

When he heard about the mysterious Taoist priest, Chu Liang had already guessed it in his heart. Among the ruins of Shenxu, those who liked to play hide-and-seek mysteriously were from that ancient Taoist temple.

If the mysterious Taoist priest was from Shenxu Temple, it made sense that he could bring out a divine artifact like a great tripod. To erase the existence of the Jiang Family so easily, they must at least possess the combat power of cutting through Tianyuan.

But the fact that the great tripod could help someone at the Seventh Realm Peak to enlighten was somewhat terrifying. There were not a few prodigies and powerful beings trapped at the Seventh Realm Peak in the world; if everyone could enter and enlighten themselves, wouldn’t it be possible to mass-produce Tianyuan?

Seeing Lu Cang’s current state, it was likely he had also joined that Taoist temple. Could it be that Shenxu Temple had requested the best cultivation seed from Immortal Sect from Master Wuqi and then absorbed him into their own temple?

What exactly was this Taoist temple up to?

The curiosity about Shenxu Temple surged again at this moment. However, a personage like the former Sect Leader remained silent about the existence of this temple, indicating that its terrifying aspect was by no means trivial.

Thinking of Immortal Qi Jing and Jiang Yuebai still wanting to find Shenxu Temple made him genuinely worried. At least before finding the divine artifact, he had to stop them from departing.

"So he hasn’t appeared for over a hundred years, and suddenly enters Jiuli Secret Realm, seeking what?" the Law Enforcement Elder suddenly said.

"The answer to that may only be found within the Jiuli Secret Realm," Master Wen Yuan said. "Who among you will make a trip, to check what he has done or taken away? Perhaps we can get some clues from there."

The Zhenshan Elders glanced at each other, and it was clear they were all eager to try. Matters concerning Lu Cang compelled the normally reclusive elders to desire action.

Yet the first voice to break the silence in the room was Chu Liang’s, "How about... I go?"

"Hmm?" The elders all turned to look at him.

"It is the duty of the disciple to bear the burdens of the elder," said Chu Liang. "Since what we are doing is just exploring the Secret Realm, why not let us juniors go for the experience? If we really encounter any difficulties, then the elders can take action."

The Law Enforcement Elder looked at him with a sincere expression and smiled faintly, "You want to go with that Jiang Family girl, don’t you?"

"Hehe." His hidden intention revealed in an instant, Chu Liang immediately showed an embarrassed smile.

Concerning Shenxu Temple, Chu Liang naturally wanted to explore it with Jiang Yuebai. What if they could find some information that could help her and her father?

However, to bring someone along, he first had to take on the mission himself.

"Well, consider it a trial," Master Wen Yuan agreed. "Xu Ziyang of Jade Sword Peak has also broken through Heaven’s Gate, hasn’t he? It’s been a long time since the few of you who attended the Immortal Sect conference together were all assembled, right? The three of you will go together."

"Sect Leader" Chu Liang gently reminded, "there were four of us originally...""p>

"The young people these days are advancing so fast. At our age, we wouldn’t dare to dream about the Seventh Realm," Elder Pill Furnace laughed. "With Jiang Yuebai’s talent, the Seventh Realm must be within her reach. When the three of you all reach enlightenment, it would truly be the Golden Generation of Shu Mountain!"

Well...

Mentioning Ling Ao at this time didn’t seem appropriate. Better to keep it to himself.

Chu Liang silently agreed and then finalized the mission to visit Jiuli Secret Realm this time.

On his way back to Silver Sword Peak, he contacted Jiang Yuebai and Xu Ziyang. Of course, aside from them, the most important person was Elder Tan, who was crucial to this mission.

He had to establish a good relationship with Elder Tan, lest he trip them up upon entering Jiuli Secret Realm later.

Lost in thought, he looked up only to see Empress Feng playing with an Iron Eating Beast in front of the small wooden house.

Under Empress Feng’s palm, the little one had no resistance; recognizing the situation, it quickly clung to Empress Feng’s leg and whimpered ingratiatingly.

Then, Elder Tan’s stern voice came from the side, "Ba Tiansha! As the mighty Jiuli Guardian God, what kind of display is this whimpering?! Stand up!"

At the sound of that voice, the Iron Eating Beast immediately stood up straight, puffed out its chubby face, and put on a fierce demeanor, not daring to act spoiled anymore.

But Empress Feng, who was just enjoying herself, her brow furrowed, "Old man, have I given you too much face?!"

Whoosh—

The Silver Sword Peak Master never talked tough; she just gave you a warning before taking action. She had already clenched her right fist, igniting the Samadhi Divine Fire, and in the next instant, their guide to Jiuli Secret Realm might end up being only an Iron Eating Beast that may not remember the way.

Chu Liang quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Master, calm your anger!"

"Don’t stop me; I must teach him the rules of Silver Sword Peak!" bellowed Empress Feng, furious.

"We still need him to lead the way into Jiuli Secret Realm. If you kill him, who will guide us? The Iron Eating Beast? Does that little thing look like it can remember the way? Master, the treasure is what’s important!" Chu Liang urged in a hushed voice, finally adding, "Whatever we find inside, let’s split it fifty-fifty!"

"Hahahaha!" Empress Feng’s anger vanished in a puff of smoke, her face breaking into smiles, "If only you’d said so sooner, I’ve found this respected elder immensely endearing all along."

As Chu Liang saw Elder Tan giving them a look as if he was regarding patients, unsure whether to be scared or to respond, he too smiled at him, "Elder Tan, don’t panic. My master was just playing with you."

"Right," exclaimed Empress Feng loudly. "Everyone in Shu Mountain knows that the first rule of Silver Sword Peak is to respect the old and love the young!"
