Chapter 923 The Disappearance Of Lei Zhenxiang
Chapter 923 The Disappearance Of Lei Zhenxiang
In a study room, everyone sat around a long table, and Yun Huanxin began to explain what had happened to the Misty Cloud Sect in the past.
"I see." Yun Xilou said softly after listening to the narration.
"How did you end up here, Senior Sister Xilou?" Yun Huanxin asked.
"It's a long story." Yun Xilou went silent for a moment and started narrating her experience.
After she heard that the Misty Cloud Sect was under attack, she didn't hesitate to leave Clear River Village and went to Misty Cloud Peak with her husband, Mu Weizhi. However, she arrived too late. Misty Cloud Peak was utterly turned upside down by Qi Qianxing.
At that time, she believed that some of her fellow sect disciples should be able to escape. Therefore, she quickly returned to the village and planned to bring her daughter and granddaughter away to search for the survivor. Apparently, when she came back, the village had long been raided by the bandits.
Driving by anxiety, she and her husband tried their best to trace her daughter's whereabouts but ultimately failed.
Since they couldn't find their daughter and granddaughter, they simply shifted their focus to revenge. However, while they prepared to crash with Qi Qianxing, Han Bingling had already forced him to escape.
Yun Xilou and Mu Weizhi got a clue about Qi Qianxing and didn't hesitate to follow him to the Endless Sea.
Unfortunately, their luck wasn't good. They encountered a lot of powerful pirates along the way, and Mu Weizhi eventually lost his profound strength in order to protect his wife.
While they fell into a tough predicament, Bai Qiaolian's group happened to pass by and rescue them.
"This time, we are planning to return to the Northern Continent after hearing about the invasion." Yun Xilou said softly.
Yun Lintian sighed inwardly after hearing this. Yun Xilou was indeed unfortunate. Her timing was always off. Otherwise, they would meet each other a long time ago.
"There's no need to worry about the Northern Continent now. The problem has been solved." Yun Huanxin said.
"What? Really?" Bai Qiaolian exclaimed in shock. According to the information she got previously, more than half of the continent had been occupied by the profound beasts. How could it be possible?
"It's true." Yun Huanxin said casually. She looked at Bai Qiaolian and asked. "By the way, where are you come from?"
Bai Qiaolian quickly replied. "I was born in Ice Threading City, but I left twenty years ago."
"So, your hometown is on the Northern Continent." Yun Huanxin nodded slowly. It was no wonder Bai Qiaolian was willing to go back.
Yun Xilou was relieved. "That's good." However, a trace of sadness could be seen in her eyes.
Yun Qianxue noticed this. She smiled faintly and said. "Don't be sad, Senior Sister Xilou. In fact, your daughter and granddaughter are with us currently."
"What!?" Yun Xilou was shocked and hurriedly asked. "Where are they now?"
Yun Qianxue turned to Yun Meilan, and the latter disappeared from the place before returning with Yun Ci.
Yun Ci was confused. She didn't know why Yun Meilan suddenly brought her here. However, when she saw a familiar figure, her body froze, and her eyes gradually reddened.
"Mom…?" Yun Ci called out.
Yun Xilou was already in tears. "It's me."
She quickly stepped forward and hugged her daughter tightly, fearing she would disappear.
Yun Lintian and the others tacitly left the room, giving the mother and daughter space.
"Thank you for saving us today. If everyone didn't come, I'm afraid our fate would be bleak by now. Let me prepare a banquet for everyone." Bai Qiaolian expressed her gratitude once again after bringing everyone to the dining hall.
Yun Lintian didn't refuse. He asked after sitting down. "How long have you traveled in this Endless Sea?"
"More than ten years. Before this, we were just a small mercenary group." Bai Qiaolian answered. "Usually, we would ferry between Blue Tide City and Blue Coral Island. Although we didn't earn much, this route is extremely safe."
"Blue Tide City? I see." Yun Lintian nodded slightly. He suddenly thought of Lei Feifei… I don't know how she is doing now.
During the banquet, Yun Lintian inquired a lot of information about the Central Continent from Bai Qiaolian.
Through her, he learned about an unusual incident in the Divine Thunder Palace. It was said Lei Zhenxiang, the current palace master, went missing for two months now. No one knew where he was.
However, many had speculated that it was related to an internal power struggle. After all, the current deputy palace master was Lei Yubai, who often opposed Lei Zhenxiang in the past.
"Bingling, when was the last time Lei Zhenxiang contacted you?" Yun Lintian asked in his mind.
"Around two months ago. He said he would send a group of Thunder Guards over, but I didn't see one. I was so busy at that time and didn't notice this." In the Land of Beyond Heaven, Han Bingling frowned deeply. Although she didn't like Lei Zhenxiang, they were, after all, good friends. She was worried something would happen to him.
"Two months ago?" Yun Lintian frowned slightly. He remembered that Lei Feifei told him this Lei Yubai was very cunning. Since it was the case, why did the news about Lei Zhenxiang going missing spread out? What was the purpose of doing this?
"Also, the Heavenly Sword Summit this year will be different from the past. The Heavenly Sword Palace will hold a convention to recruit new disciples. I have seen a lot of people flocking over from all directions during these past months." Bai Qiaolian said while taking a sip of tea.
"Oh?" Yun Lintian was slightly surprised. From what he knew, the Heavenly Sword Palace rarely recruited new disciples. The last time they did was twenty years ago. Why would they suddenly do it this time?
"I got an invitation from them a month ago. I believe the other palace masters got it, too. Normally, the Heavenly Sword Palace does things in a low-key manner. I don't think it's a simple matter this time." Han Bingling's voice resounded in his mind.
