Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1651: Chapter 889: The Curtain Rises, Shocking News of the Filthy Immortal Arrow (2)

On the same day, the Ancestor Hall was breached by internal and external collusion, resulting not only in the theft of the Heavenly Book Ancestor Register but also in the untimely death of more than a hundred and ninety people.

In the end, Zhao Dashan couldn’t hide his guilt: "... Da Shan is incompetent. After the incident, I investigated for several days, using countless methods, but I still couldn’t find any clue about the murderer! The culprit is extremely crafty and experienced, not leaving a trace behind."

There’s a saying that the absence of clues is the greatest clue!

This is the most cunning aspect of Old Ghost Wan Xing. Although he didn’t say it explicitly, his words all pointed to Zhao Sheng, clearly implying that he colluded with the demon path devils to destroy the Ancestor Hall.

Zhao Xuanjing, upon hearing this, had his long eyebrows slightly tremble, indicating his unrest inside.

Beside him, Zhao San Yue’s face was like frost, an invisible killing intent exuded from her, transforming into a boundless Blood Sea.

Zhao San Yue had witnessed Zhao Dashan grow up to this day, thus she firmly believed his words. At this moment, she already considered Zhao Sheng a target that must be eliminated.

At this moment, Zhao San Yue suddenly spoke: "It seems that thief has been scheming for a long time. Does he think that without the Heavenly Book Ancestor Register, we can’t find him?... What a joke!"

After a cold sneer, she suddenly asked: "Where is Tianyunzi? Tell him to come back at once!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dashan immediately replied: "The Second Ancestor has been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years, and there has been no news from him yet."

Zhao San Yue’s brows raised, about to lose her temper on the spot.

"Xiao Yue."

At this time, Zhao Xuanjing’s call of Xiao Yue instantly suppressed Zhao San Yue’s anger.

"Hongyun is currently in a thriving state of Qi Fortune, having reached the most critical moment, he probably cannot afford any distractions... do not vent your anger on him."

"Hmm?" Zhao San Yue was both surprised and delighted, immediately asking: "Great adversity followed by great prosperity?!"

Hmm!

Zhao Xuanjing nodded with a smile but said nothing.

"That brat, I didn’t expect him to catch up with me during a moment of inattention. Such deep Qi Fortune, rare indeed!" Zhao San Yue couldn’t help but exclaim from the heart.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dashan’s face appropriately displayed an expression of "happiness mixed with envy."

After a brief interlude, the three returned to the main topic.

Zhao Xuanjing once again endorsed Zhao Dashan’s actions, affirming that lifting the wanted order was correct, not only because family scandals shouldn’t be exposed, but also because Zhao Sheng’s strength was unmatched, rarely paralleled within the Zhao Family.

Only an Ancestor in the Unification Realm could personally take action to apprehend him.

While the three were discussing, the Masters of the Five Thunders and Eternal Night Grotto Heavens arrived successively.

The Master of Five Thunders had a rugged appearance, with a leopard head and round eyes, a ruddy complexion, resembling a reincarnation of Li Kui. As he walked, he moved like a dragon and tiger, accompanied by wind and thunder, possessing considerable authority.

The Master of Eternal Night, reaching the end of his Life Span, already exhibited signs of the "Heavenly Person Five Decays". Yet at this time, he was the most fearsome.

Seeing the two arrive, Zhao Xuan had an idea in mind immediately.

After a few words, he entrusted the task of capturing Zhao Sheng to the two Masters.

The Master of Eternal Night accepted without another word, while the Master of Five Thunders hesitated for a moment but, seeing the Ancestor’s resolute attitude, reluctantly took on this arduous task.

The Taiyi Spirit Realm is vast and boundless, where couldn’t one hide?

If one intends to hide, perhaps searching till the Desolate ages wouldn’t yield any trace.

Moreover, with the loss of the Heavenly Book Ancestor Register, finding someone at this moment is like "searching for a needle in the sea", indeed a task as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

Not long after, the Masters of Five Thunders and Eternal Night left Unison Hall, each bearing different expressions.

...

Half a day later, a stone island loomed subtly in the depths of the Central Nameless Sea.

In the center of the stone island stood a thousand-zhang tall Stone Mountain, where Zhao Sheng stood at the peak, gazing at the distant sea surface.

The sea breeze blew, stirring his hair tips, yet couldn’t dispel the gloom in his heart.

The Great Sun slowly descended toward the sea surface, the seawater sparkling with golden light.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng’s expression subtly shifted, abruptly turning to look behind him.

An old stone mason, his face weathered, had unknowingly appeared three zhang away.

Zhao Sheng showed a flicker of delight, bowing with respect: "Zhao Sheng, paying respects to Ancestor!"

Zhao Xuanjing looked at him with a calm gaze, speaking solemnly: "I have come, are you not afraid?"

"Why should I be afraid? The one who should fear is Old Ghost Wan Xing." Zhao Sheng retorted immediately: "Besides, it was I who contacted you."

Zhao Xuanjing’s expression remained unchanged, said in a deep voice: "Evidence? I want to see concrete evidence."

Zhao Sheng immediately countered: "I am here now, isn’t this ironclad evidence?!"

Saying this, he showed a hint of a smile: "More importantly, Ancestor, you too harbor doubts, don’t you?"

What Zhao Sheng stated was true, Zhao Xuanjing being willing to hear his explanation meant he had doubts, otherwise, actions would have already been taken.

Zhao Xuanjing’s eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly spoke: "Avatar?! No wonder you are so fearless!"

Zhao Sheng’s heart sank, feeling something was amiss. It was only because he didn’t dare attend the meeting in his True Body that he sent an Avatar to meet.

It was clear Zhao Xuanjing had realized he had ascended to the Unification Realm.

Zhao Sheng spoke earnestly: "Zhao Dashan has indeed been ’assimilated’ by Old Ghost Wan Xing. Now the Zhao Family harbors an unknown number of Divine Beast Messengers internally. This time, unlike before, Old Ghost Wan Xing will no doubt pour all his efforts to destroy the Zhao Family. I earnestly hope Ancestor observes carefully and acts with caution!"

Zhao Xuanjing listened and suddenly fell into contemplation.

For over two hundred thousand years, Old Ghost Wan Xing has repeatedly plagued the Zhao Family. Although each turmoil was eventually quelled, it always resulted in significant casualties.

He never understood why Old Ghost Wan Xing never let go of the Zhao Family, what grudge so deep and wide could last over two hundred thousand years.

By now, regarding the enigmatic existence like Ruined Immortal, he has gained profound understanding.
