Chapter 202: Exposed?

The Demon Beast Scroll was currently being refined by Gray, but now it had become one of the goals of the people from State Wansheng.

Xu Ning’s heart tightened.

If those people really came and discovered the location of the Demon Beast Scroll, Gray would be in danger.

“Old Man Wan Ye? Demon Beast Scroll?”

The others did not notice Xu Ning’s abnormality, but after hearing the intentions of those people, Mi Xingye and Yuan Cheng both frowned. They had obviously never heard of them.

“That’s right.”

Elder Du Yuan said, “We have to send people to collect information about him and the treasure. If we can provide clues to them and have them return immediately after completing their mission, that would be great.”

For the people in the seventeen states of the Abyss North, fighting against the guests was not their goal. Their goal was to ensure the safety of the Yuelan Sect.

“I will send my subordinates to take note of this.”

Elder Yuan Cheng nodded.

“There are also some finalized details…”

Elder Qiu Renshan spoke again, giving Mi Xingye and Elder Yuan Cheng instructions.

Xu Ning stood aside and listened quietly.

Unknowingly, Xu Ning had become a core member of the Yuelan Sect.

The secret matters discussed by Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and Mi Xingye were unknown to the other elders, but Xu Ning was the first to know.

“In short, next, you have to work with the Thousand Flood Sect to contact the various sects in State Jifeng and explain the reason. We need to unite State Jifeng before the arrival of the people from State Wansheng. We can’t be broken apart and be used by the other party.”

Elder Qiu Renshan added.

“Don’t worry, I will personally visit the major sects in State Jifeng.”

Mi Xingye said, “Those who are willing to join forces shall be able to join. As for those who aren’t willing, I will join forces with the Thousand Flood Sect and make them listen.”

Mi Xingye’s tone was domineering.

This incident was also an opportunity.

Under the premise of ensuring that the neighboring states became allies, the Yuelan Sect and the Thousand Flood Sect could use the excuse of integrating internal forces to expand the influence of the two sects.

Soon, the exchange between the four was over.

Qiu Renshan and Du Yuan went to visit other elders.

As for Elder Yuan Cheng, he also went to set up a scouting group to search for news about Old Man Wan Ye and the Demon Beast Scroll.

“Xu Ning, your senior brother should return soon.”

After the three of them left, Mi Xingye said to Xu Ning.

“Senior Brother must have gained a lot from his trip.”

The reason why He Mingye left to travel was because he was stuck in the true intent realm and couldn’t improve. He went out to find a chance to advance to the true domain realm.

“When your senior brother returns, the two of you must be united. The two of you are the foundation and hope of the Yuelan Sect.”

Mi Xingye’s expression was serious.

Mi Xingye already knew that He Mingye and Xu Ning’s talents far exceeded their peers.

In Mi Xingye’s opinion, before the two advanced to the dao realm, they could totally take on the heavy responsibilities of the sect.

“Master, don’t worry.”

Xu Ning responded.

The two chatted for a while before Xu Ning left the Sect Master’s Peak.

Afterwards, Xu Ning went to the sect to find his acquaintances—Le Caiwei, Gu Qinghe, Ning Xun, and the others.

After that, he returned to his residence.

He planned to refine some Heartless Pills and some pills that could provide energy in the near future.

He would then use this opportunity to learn two new secret techniques. Once the techniques reached the ninth level, he would cultivate a dao realm technique and strive to advance to a half-step dao realm master as soon as possible.

After that, Xu Ning planned to go to the Fog Night Abyss again to see if he could communicate with Gray and Xu Hujun in the Demon Beast Scroll and explain the current situation to them.

…

A few days went by.

Gu Juan’s Elder Peak.

Recently, Elder Gu Juan felt very annoyed.

His favorite disciple, Fang Jie, had lost contact with him for more than half a year.

He was sent to the Bao family, but he did not return after a few months.

Elder Gu Juan was worried, so he sent someone to find him. However, his subordinates told him that Fang Jie had left the Bao family a long time ago.

After this news was brought back, Elder Gu Juan had a bad feeling.

Although Fang Jie had gone out to travel in the past too, he would always tell him where he was going before leaving.

Fang Jie was different from Bao Ruyuan. In Elder Gu Juan’s heart, Fang Jie was one of the best.

This time, Fang Jie disappearance made Elder Gu Juan worried.

Moreover, recently, Mi Xingye’s in-name disciple, Xu Ning, had returned. Not only had he advanced to the true domain realm, but he had also killed Feng Changge of the Phantom Blood Sect, causing his reputation to skyrocket. This further agitated Elder Gu Juan.

In order to find out about Fang Jie’s situation as soon as possible, Elder Gu Juan had sent out his trusted deacon to investigate this matter, and the results should be coming back soon.

At this moment, Elder Gu Juan was sitting quietly in the room.

A skinny old man with gray hair suddenly came to his Elder Peak.

“Gu Juan.”

The old man ignored the disciples on Elder Peak and went straight in.

When Elder Gu Juan heard the call, he opened his eyes. After seeing who it was, he looked surprised.

“Elder Duan!”

Elder Gu Juan quickly stood up and greeted, “Why are you here?”

Elder Gu Juan was normally extremely arrogant. He was also an elder in the sect, so he was usually cold to everyone.

But after seeing this person, Elder Gu Juan acted unusually humble.

The reason for this was because Elder Duan Qinghui had helped Elder Gu Juan greatly in the past.

Like Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and others, Duan Qinghui was a previous generation elder of the Yuelan Sect.

When Gu Juan and Mi Xingye were competing against each other, Duan Qinghui tried his best to help Gu Juan. He wanted to promote Gu Juan to the position of sect master, but the result was not as he wished.

“You don’t know why I came?”

Duan Qinghui narrowed his eyes and asked.

“I don’t know.”

Elder Gu Juan shook his head.

Ever since Duan Qinghui retired as an elder, he rarely took the initiative to leave his seclusion.

Before coming here, he had not informed him as well.

“It seems that you are an outsider in the Yuelan Sect…”

There was a hint of mockery in Duan Qinghui’s tone.

“Elder Duan, please explain.”

Elder Gu Juan had some guesses.

“The seventeen states of the Abyss North might welcome uninvited guests, so we old guys were invited out again to deal with the unexpected.”

Duan Qinghui explained the cause and effect of the people from State Wansheng to Gu Juan.

After hearing this, Elder Gu Juan’s face turned black. He couldn’t say a word.

As an elder of the Yuelan Sect, he didn’t even know about such a major event.

It was fine if he didn’t know, but Yuan Cheng was involved the entire time. Moreover, the other elders also knew the inside story, which made Elder Gu Juan extremely unhappy.

“Outrageous!”

After a long time, Elder Gu Juan said coldly.

Just like Duan Qinghui said, he had indeed become a sidelined figure of the Yuelan Sect.

Instantly, Elder Gu Juan’s hatred for Mi Xingye increased.

“Alright.”

Seeing Gu Juan’s attitude, Duan Qinghui said, “In the face of a potential crisis, personal grudges have to be put aside first. The battle between you and Mi Xingye has already been settled when he took over as the sect master. What’s next is the competition between the younger generation.”

“Speaking of the younger generation, where is Fang Jie? I haven’t seen him for a long time. Has he advanced to the common seal realm?”

Duan Qinghui had a deep impression of Fang Jie. When Elder Gu Juan brought Fang Jie to see him, he had also given Fang Jie many good things.

However, over the years, Duan Qinghui didn’t know much about the happenings in the outside world.

“Fang Jie has long advanced to the true intent realm, but…”

Gu Juan pursed his lips.

When Duan Qinghui heard that Fang Jie had advanced to the true intent realm, a look of joy appeared in his eyes, but when he heard that there was something wrong with Elder Gu Juan’s tone, he asked, “But what?”

“It’s just that Fang Jie and I have lost contact for more than half a year.”

Elder Gu Juan’s voice was low.

“What?”

Duan Qinghui’s eyes showed a hint of coldness. “He had an accident?”

“I’m not sure yet.”

Elder Gu Juan answered truthfully.

Duan Qinghui’s expression was ugly. He was silent for a long time.

“Let me know when there is news.”

Duan Qinghui sighed and said, “I will stay here for a while.”

“Yes…”

Elder Gu Juan responded.

Afterwards, Duan Qinghui left Elder Peak and went to the Sect Master’s Peak, where Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and others were still waiting for him.

Once Duan Qinghui left.

Pak!

Elder Gu Juan no longer suppressed the anger in his heart. He picked up the teacup and smashed it.

“Mi Xingye, do you really think I’m a pushover?”

He couldn’t calm down.

“Elder.”

As he was raging, a timid voice came from outside the house.

“Elder, Deacon Jia is here.”

The disciple said.

After hearing the identity of the visitor, Elder Gu Juan forcibly calmed down.

This Deacon Jia was the confidant he sent to investigate Fang Jie’s disappearance.

“Let him in.”

Elder Gu Juan said sternly.

“Elder Gu.”

Deacon Jia rushed in and bowed to Elder Gu Juan.

He noticed that there was something wrong with Elder Gu Juan’s mental state, so he was cautious.

“Have you found out where Fang Jie is?”

Elder Gu Juan asked with a concerned expression.

“No.”

Deacon Jia braced himself and answered.

Elder Gu Juan was disappointed.

“But Elder Gu, I found something special in the Bao family.”

Deacon Jia said.

“Tell me.”

Gu Juan said coldly.

“Before Fang Jie made his last contact with the Bao family, Bao Qiuhua and a clan elder named Bao Xinxian of the Bao family were killed by someone.”

Deacon Jia explained.

“Bao Qiuhua is dead?”

Elder Gu Juan’s eyes twitched.

Although he hadn’t been in contact with Bao Qiuhua for a long time, they did have a personal relationship when they were young.

“Yes.”

Deacon Jia continued, “Before the two were killed, there was indeed an unknown powerhouse closing in on the Bao family. Fang Jie wanted to search for him, but he failed.”

“After interrogating several clan elders and clan leaders of the Bao family, I learned that the two went to State Feiyun at the same time two years ago. They went to State Feiyun to capture the descendants of the Wei family, for the goal of using their blood to unseal a dao seal.”

“Continue.”

Gu Juan urged.

“After Bao Qiuhua was killed, the dao seal was stolen and the descendants of the Wei family were saved.”

Deacon Jia said, “Afterwards, I went to Yunying City in State Feiyun to inquire about the Wei family…”

“The descendants of the Wei family had returned home safely, and the person accompanying them was Xu Ning from the Yuelan Sect.”
