Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!
Chapter 1071 - 569: Eloquent Speech, Unexpected News, Eruption, Te She's Sudden Realization, Spear is Still Transforming.

Although the question from the white-robed woman took Yi Chen by surprise, it was hardly a challenge for him.

Yi Chen sipped the tea in front of him, his eyes slightly lowered. It took him less than three breaths to look up and reply with a light laugh:

"I didn't expect that Fairy Shiran would be a distinguished disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect, truly a remarkable person who can't be easily deceived."

"Indeed, there was deep meaning behind my deliberate choice of barley as a token of gratitude."

"Fairy Shiran, what do you think barley is?" Yi Chen asked mysteriously, with a glint in his eyes.

"What else could barley be? Isn't it just food?"

Upon hearing his words, Li Shiran couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Fairy Shiran has indeed seen through it all, a worthy disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect indeed." Hearing this, Yi Chen slapped his thigh, gave a loud clap of approval, and continued speaking without keeping her in suspense,

"Correct, barley is food, it's a crop."

"With this action, Yi Lifang meant to warn Fairy Shiran. If barley is a crop, aren't humans seen as crops in the eyes of certain alien species?"

"Now in Yang City, who knows how many commoners have been eroded by that mysterious Black Seal, just like the barley."

"As expected, Fairy Shiran is clever and quick-witted!"

"Ah? Indeed, that is precisely what I thought before, and what Young Master Yi has said now validates my thoughts."

The white-robed woman's face flushed with a hint of crimson upon hearing this, and she took a light sip of her tea to hide her embarrassment, "Young Master Yi, this is excellent tea!"

"I'm glad Fairy Shiran likes it. Speaking of which, I heard from you earlier that the ghostly being who butchered the entire Yi Mansion had already been slain by you, Fairy. For this, I must express my gratitude!"

Yi Chen stood up and bowed respectfully to the white-robed woman.

From bits and pieces about killing a black-haired ghost before meeting Li Shiran, Yi Chen had pieced together the truth that his family was destroyed but a survivor existed before he arrived.

It turns out that the lady before him plays the superhero within Yang City, upholding justice.

"With Young Master Yi's cultivation, had you been present that day, the Yi Family would surely have been safe. Moreover, the cultivation technique you practice is truly remarkable. I've encountered you before but never realized that a Flood Dragon like you was hiding within this minor Yang City."

"By the way, what are your thoughts on the current situation in Yang City?"

"I've been investigating in circles for many days, employing numerous methods, yet I still haven't uncovered how the Ghost Worship Sect spreads the Black Seal and wreaks havoc in Yang City."

As if she had realized something, Li Shiran's expression filled with concern, and she promptly laid all the intelligence about the Ghost Worship Sect and True Blood Sect from the West Continent Barbarian Continent on the table.

This information made Yi Chen's face falter, and he silently noted down the names of the Ghost Worship Sect and True Blood Sect.

This was one of the reasons he risked exposing his cultivation in front of the white-robed woman.

Yi Chen needed a channel, a genuine Cultivation Force to swiftly understand this world.

Initially, he considered aligning with the Qian Country's Court or the Night Patrol Bureau, but after learning of the woman's affiliation with the Heavenly Star Sect, he started to reconsider.

The name of the Heavenly Star Sect is known to all in the East Continent He State, with its Sect Leader Zhan Xingzi's cultivation being unmatched in the world. Despite Qian Country's size, different from the Human Realm of the Lingxia Realm, the King of Qian Country could never ascend to his position without the nod of the Heavenly Star Sect.

Sects are indeed the supreme power governing this world.

Now, Li Shiran, an Inner Sect Disciple, told Yi Chen that after digging around Yang City for so long, she doesn't even know where the enemy is or how they're spreading the Black Seal?

In an instant, Yi Chen's brows furrowed:

"Fairy Shiran, if I am not mistaken, since you are a high disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect and hidden in this place, you must surely have a usable force at your command."

"If you've been clueless for so long, I think you should widen your perspective!"

"Perhaps, it's not just the Ghost Worship Sect making trouble in the shadows, but other forces shielding this so-called Ghost Worship Sect."

Hearing Yi Chen's words, Li Shiran looked up in shock, disbelief flashing across her face, and she stood up and exclaimed immediately:

"Impossible, Qian Country would never dare betray our Heavenly Star Sect, they don't have the courage!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. If that's the case, I must report back to my sect immediately!"

"You're overthinking, Fairy. Perhaps things aren't as bad as you think. To blind your eyes and make you deaf and blind, the entire upper echelons of Qian Country need not betray. I'm referring to a problem in Yang City, as well as its governing Qingshui County, being sufficient to achieve this effect."

"Fairy Shiran, if even a sneak thief can reach the high platform, there must be someone providing the ladder!"

Looking at the agitated white-robed woman, Yi Chen spoke in a deep tone.

Perhaps sensing her own overreaction, Li Shiran slowly sat down. Unlike her casual inquiry before, this time, with a solemn face, she gave a respectful bow to Yi Chen and said:

"Thank you for your guidance, Young Master Yi. I will seek assistance from my sect immediately. This time, I will ensure that we uncover the full truth."
