Chapter 497: 252: Jade Arm Memories, Great

Power Heart Palpitations _3

His target for this trip was the Taixu Sect, one of the Three Great Sects of Daqian.

This was a part of his original plan.

Although there was still a long time before Taixu would search for immortals, he chose to go to the Taixu Sect, even if there were really cultivators from Daqin who followed his traces, he could use the reputation of the Taixu Sect to resist them to some extent.

On the other side.

Daqin, Immortal Bone Cliff.

Just as Han Yi turned the bow of the Immortal Boat towards the outside of the Immortal City, a powerful Monarch Level cultivator descended from the sky. This monarch wore a jade-green colored robe and had an unfathomable aura.

This person was Jingfu Monarch, one of the protecting Monarchs of the Jiuding Sect’s base in the Yu State Immortal City, Heavenly Brocade Lake.

Jingfu Monarch landed where Han Yi had stood before, on the spot where Zhang Tu’s Blood Soul Guidance had last disappeared.

In his hand was a shattered jade butterfly. He threw it forward, and the jade butterfly silently shattered into a ray of spirit light. The spirit light surged and unfolded, seemingly forming a mirror-like image.

This was using a shattered soul tablet to trace the happenings in the place where the Blood Soul Guidance had dispersed.

But before the image could be generated, it shattered with a snap.

Jingfu Monarch let out a muffled hum as he was clearly affected by the backlash. A look of horror flashed in his eyes.

“What’s going on?”

“There is even a power beyond the Monarch Level here.”

He thought for a moment, and was about to escape to the Sixth Immortal Ring’s Supreme Pavilion.

Zhang Tu’s death and the shattering of the soul tablet in the sect had instantly been transmitted to the garrison. He had come to check the final location where Zhang Tu’s Blood Soul Guidance had appeared.

However, he could not find any information at all.

Before this, he had already found out that Zhang Tu had left the garrison because of a Gold Core cultivator, and that Gold Core cultivator was the death soldier of Bao Zhe Sheng from the Supreme Pavilion.

Now that Zhang Tu had fallen and the clues were gone, he naturally wanted to find the Supreme Pavilion to ask for a clarification.

But in the next instant, his divine sense habitually swept through the nearby Immortal Cliff, only to be astonished to find that there were two unconscious cultivators lying beneath it.

One of them he recognized, it was none other than Bao Zhe Sheng who he had been planning to find. The other was a middle-aged man who he didn’t recognize.

“Bao Zhe Sheng is actually here, so it’s not Bao Zhe Sheng who killed Zhang Tu?”

“What’s going on here then?”

Jingfu Monarch felt there were layers of intrigue underlying these events. Instead of acting rashly, he captured the two and headed for the Sixth Immortal Ring’s Supreme Pavilion.

In Daqin, the Supreme Pavilion was the undisputed number one power; as the Emperor of Daqin dominated a generation, the Supreme Pavilion’s position was unshakeable.

As the stationed Monarch of the Jiuding Sect, Jingfu Monarch naturally had to consider the relationship between the two sides. Moreover, the situation had not been made clear yet, so he would not jump to conclusions.

When he arrived at the Supreme Pavilion.

Lo and behold, Ku Mu Monarch was seated in it. Ku Mu Monarch did not dare to be negligent. After all, this was the Jiuding Sect. Even the Supreme Pavilion had to treat them as equals.

In the loft belonging to the Ku Mu Monarch in the Supreme Pavilion, Jingfu Monarch threw the unconscious Bao Zhe Sheng and Zhang Jin onto the ground. Then, he recounted Zhang Tu’s death and how Bao Zhe Sheng’s death soldier had left recently.

Ku Mu Monarch’s face changed slightly.

Zhang Tu was a true disciple of the Jiuding Sect, while Bao Zhe Sheng was the son of Daqin Saint Country’s Holy Country Public, and their positions were not to be underestimated.

He first pointed at Zhang Jin and explained, “This man is the head of the Zhang Family and Zhang Tu’s second uncle.”

Jingfu Monarch frowned, “Zhang Jin?”

Ku Mu Monarch nodded, taking Jingfu Monarch to the Patrol Immortal Mirror that monitored the Supreme Pavilion, infusing his power and switching it to a certain image.

The image was from a few days ago when Zhang Jin had walked into the Supreme Pavilion.

After watching the image, Jingfu Monarch felt even more confused.

He originally thought Bao Zhe Sheng had killed Zhang Tu, but what was shown in the Patrol Immortal Mirror was Zhang Jin walking into Bao Zhe Sheng’s tower, discussing something, then disappearing, while Bao Zhe Sheng left looking furious.

What exactly had happened between Zhang Tu, Zhang Jin, and Bao Zhe Sheng?

All of this made Jingfu Monarch believe that Zhang Tu’s death definitely involved a conspiracy.

They returned to the loft, and Ku Mu Monarch looked at the two people on the ground, throwing out a bronze mirror. The bronze mirror floated in midair.

Then, with an expressionless face, he suddenly attacked, directly slapping Zhang Jin’s head, killing him with a palm that had sealed his Spirit Sea and Sea of Consciousness with poison.

Next.

As Zhang Jin’s Divine Soul floated out, it was immediately sucked into the bronze mirror.

In the bronze mirror, images flickered as Ku Mu Monarch channeled his power in to search memories. Eventually, he paused on a certain image.

It was the scene of Zhang Tu hiding in the mountains and forests, followed closely by Zhang Jin, and finally, a moment of darkness in his consciousness.

Ku Mu Monarch and Jingfu Monarch exchanged glances, confusion in their eyes, but with a growing suspicion.

“This memory should be from a few days ago when Zhang Jin was poisoned and fell unconscious. Then who was the Zhang Jin who entered the Supreme Pavilion?” Ku Mu Monarch said.

Jingfu Monarch added, “A month ago, Zhang Tu returned from outside. He has been staying at Heavenly Brocade Lake this month and has never gone out. It is absolutely impossible for him to have met Zhang Jin.”

“So then, who are Zhang Tu in this image and Zhang Jin in your Supreme Pavilion’s Patrol Immortal Mirror?”

Both Monarch Level cultivators exchanged glances, understanding a certain fact.

“Someone is deceiving with a fake and making things difficult to discern.”

Ku Mu Monarch’s eyes flashed as he thought of a way. He asked Jingfu Monarch to wait while he entered the depths of the Supreme Pavilion, activating the precious mirror to assess immortals. He captured a trace of aura from the Zhang Jin who entered the Supreme Pavilion.

What surprised him, however,

This trace of aura pointed to the Zhang Jin who was killed by his palm just now, not the person who might be falsifying the truth.

“How is this possible?”

“How could this cultivator’s disguised aura deceive even the Mirror of Immortal?”

Not giving up, he once again drew out Bao Zhe Sheng’s aura on the Mirror of Immortal. What he traced was the Bao Zhe Sheng who left the Supreme Pavilion after Zhang Jin appeared, rather than the original Bao Zhe Sheng before Zhang Jin arrived. He suspected that the Bao Zhe Sheng who left the Supreme Pavilion for the last time had been replaced since his real body must be the culprit.

But to his astonishment, this time the trail also led to the severely injured and unconscious Bao Zhe Sheng in the tower.

Unknown to Han Yi, his Disguise Technique was so powerful that it could even deceive the Mirror of Immortal deep within the Supreme Pavilion.

Ku Mu Monarch returned to the tower, explaining his findings to Jingfu Monarch. Both felt chilled and shocked in their hearts, even a sense of terror surfacing. It should be known that the Supreme Pavilion’s Mirror of Immortal was a real Spiritual treasure. If a person stayed in the Supreme Pavilion and were still within the limits of Daqin, they absolutely couldn’t escape tracking.

But now,

Even the trail was pointing in the wrong direction.

In addition to what Jingfu Monarch mentioned about the disappearance that happened at Immortal Bone Cliff and Zhang Tu’s Blood Soul Guidance vanishing without leaving a trace, this matter was beyond their capability.

Three days later,

A Spirit Transformation Expert from the Supreme Pavilion personally arrived, but after only three hours, they left quietly with a solemn face.

In the Immortal Bone Cliff, the lingering power made the Lord’s heart palpitate.

Moreover,

Without harming Bao Zhe Sheng, they extracted memories from his Divine Soul.

In it,

Zhang Jin tried to kill Bao Zhe Sheng, and mentioned something about the Tai Yin True Body.

This made his face change drastically.

Combining this with the news of Creation Gate’s Lord Heavenly accepting Yu Ling of the Yu family as a disciple, he had uncovered the truth.

No wonder the power at the Immortal Bone Cliff made even him uneasy; it turned out that Creation Gate was responsible.

All of this had a reasonable explanation.

Although Han Yi made some arrangements, he only tried to muddy the waters as much as possible. He had not anticipated that, by sheer coincidence, his actions would come full circle and point to Creation Gate.

This was something he had never expected.

Owing to the intervention of the half-broken jade arm, the Spirit Transformation Expert from the Supreme Pavilion suspected even more and eventually came to a conclusion, asking the Monarchs not to investigate further. As the situation involved levels beyond his capacity, he required higher-level cultivators to intervene.

The gap between great experts was as vast as the sky.

With this matter temporarily put aside, it allowed Han Yi a window of time to escape.

On the other hand,

As Han Yi left Jinyun Immortal City and headed towards Tai Xu Sect, it was only at this time that he focused his attention on himself, on the huge Soul Bead that formed from the fusion of the seven Soul Swords in his Sea of Consciousness.
