Chapter 431 - Clamoring Outside the Sect Gates (1/2)

For a thousand years in his previous life, Lin Xuanzhi’s soul force had become extremely powerful.

Craftsmen relied on, first, the soul fire, and second, the soul force. Lin Xuanzhi did not lack either.

In his past life, he had been able to repair the Revert World Mirror, which was a heaven-shocking magic treasure that couldn’t even be categorized into any level by himself. Wouldn’t it be easy, then, to refine a mere black turtle’s inner core?

It was just that he didn’t release the soul force that was sealed inside his body when he rebirthed before, so the cultivation speed he displayed back then was still only a little faster than ordinary people.

But now that Lin Xuanzhi had braved the danger of exploding his body in order to unseal his soul force, naturally, he could easily refine the magic treasures he needed.

After staring at Lin Xuanzhi with a complicated look, Esteemed Lan Yue slowly said, “Xuanzhi, if you really decide not to hide, I’m afraid that all the spearheads will point towards you.”

“That is better than pointing the spears at the people around me,” Lin Xuanzhi replied.

Esteemed Lan Yue nodded, stroking his astrological staff. “Tonight, I will divine the stars to see the future for all of you.”

“If it’s not to your inconvenience, Master.”

“It’s no trouble. There are still some things I want to discuss with you privately.”

Qing Zhu carefully handed a strand of hair tied by a red rope to Esteemed Lan Yue.

Qing Zhu asked nervously, “Your divination won’t have any problems?”

Esteemed Lan Yue removed the red rope and said, “Normally speaking, nothing will go wrong.”

Qing Zhu saw that he was going to start casting spells, so he stopped talking, but his eyes were staring unblinkingly at Esteemed Lan Yue’s hand.

Esteemed Lan Yue expertly made a hand seal and placed the strand of hair in the middle of the apparatus. There were a dozen small paper people on it, all of whom were lying motionless on the stone plate.

It didn’t take long for Esteemed Lan Yue to finish his hand techniques, and his eyes turned fierce. The strand of hair began to burn, and those little paper people seemed to have been revived all of a sudden. They all stood up and began to dance and rotate on the astrolabe.

Qing Zhu was dazzled.

Esteemed Lan Yue squeezed out a drop of blood onto the burning black hair. The flame suddenly grew bigger and changed from a jade-like blue color to ghostly green.

The flame burned for three days and three nights, and the little people also danced for three days and three nights.

However, the instant the flames went out, all of the little people dropped down at the same time.

“What does this mean?” Qing Zhu looked at the burnt hair and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

“Don’t say it.” Qing Zhu suddenly stood up. Holding the red rope in despair, he said, “I don’t believe it. He must still be alive.”

Esteemed Lan Yue sighed.

Liu Mengchen’s soul could no longer be found in the Five Continents’ cultivation world.

In reality, this was no surprise.

Any techniques Esteemed Lan Yue knew, Yin Xinghan knew as well. He probably already used the five-element soul searching technique, or similar spells, to search for Liu Mengchen more than once. But even Yin Xinghan could neither find Liu Mengchen if he was alive nor find his corpse if he was dead, so Esteemed Lan Yue’s spell likely didn’t miss anything.

Things did not bode well for Liu Mengchen.

Qing Zhu wanted to search for him again merely because he was unwilling to accept this.

Qing Zhu left Sinking Sword Peak in despair. Zhan Fengting tried to speak up and stop him but was directly ignored by Qing Zhu.

Seeing the situation, Zhan Fengting knew that it was bad, and he couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable again.

The peaceful days didn’t last long. A few days later, someone couldn’t endure any longer and arrived at the gate.

“Master, Youngest Martial Brother.” Zhan Fengting came over in a hurry and informed, “Just now, a disciple sent a message. Some people are clamoring outside the sect gates, demanding that Profound Sky Sect hand over Xuanzhi and the Twin Lotus Lamp together. Otherwise, they will gather other people in Profund City to attack Profound Sky Sect.”

When Esteemed Lan Yue heard this, his cold expression turned ugly. “That’s nonsense. Do they think they can rush into Profound Sky Sect whenever they want?”

When Lin Xuanzhi heard this, he stood up from the futon beside him. “Who are the ones calling for battle?”

Zhan Fengting answered, “Some of them are rogue cultivators, some are people from mercenary groups, and some are disciples of Sky Peak Sect. There is a leader named Mo Yan. It’s said that he is already at Profound Realm peak Separated Spirit Stage. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to deal with him.”

“Mo Yan?” Lin Xuanzhi sneered, “I didn’t look for him, but he came to me. I want to see just how powerful he is.”

Esteemed Lan Yue asked, “Did you have a conflict with this person before?”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “A big conflict. I just didn’t have any time to pay attention to him before.”

Just then, a noisy voice came from outside, and Wan Yitong raised his voice, shouting, “Don’t bully intolerably! Youngest Martial Brother is my Sinking Sword Peak’s disciple and my Master’s closed-door disciple. You are not qualified to drive him out to fight!”

Lin Xuanzhi and Esteemed Lan Yue exchanged glances. “Master, I’ll go out and take a look.”

Zhan Fengting grabbed Lin Xuanzhi and shook his head. “They are from the Sect Master’s side. They don’t know anything. Just ignore them. We can handle everything.”
