Chapter 2634: Chapter 855: Starry Sky Sea’s Movements, Xuanjian True Monarch’s Suspicions
But now, Xuanjian True Monarch even suspects that this "Qilin Sword Lord" is very likely the same person as the Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Monarch.
The reason is simple.
This person arrived mysteriously in Jiang Country, settled here, has multiple identities and mysterious origins, so having one or two more identities is normal.
And this person allied with Azure Phoenix True Monarch early on, invited our side to form an alliance, and wants to exchange Liang Country’s territory for Jiang Country, clearly planning something.
Yun Wanshang’s unexpected breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage might also be a part of his plan.
Especially since both the Great Dream City Lord and Yangming True Monarch have offspring.
Yun Wanshang is also pregnant.
It must be known that high rank cultivators are generally not very fond of having offspring.
The Great Dream City Lord, Yangming True Monarch, and the never-before-heard-of Qilin Sword Lord all share some common traits.
"Juejian, you head to Yue Country to oversee matters; I will visit this Great Dream City Lord personally to have a discussion with him!"
After a long while, Xuanjian True Monarch sent back a reply through a secret treasure, instructing Absolute Sword True Monarch to come and replace him at the frontline.
He decided to personally visit this Great Dream City Lord, Yangming True Monarch, to negotiate about forming an alliance and cooperation.
And to visit the Qingyun Sect to check Yun Wanshang’s situation, to see if it is as he speculated!
...
Starry Sky Sea.
After making all sorts of preparations, Sea Suppressing Ancestor took out a jade token from his bosom, inquiring Hai Qin and Cang Jue about the situation of Yangming True Monarch over the years.
Although the two women were given to Lu Changsheng as maids by Sea Suppressing Ancestor, they were his planted eyes and ears.
Facing the inquiry from Sea Suppressing Ancestor, they reported in the first instance.
"Reporting to Ancestor, Yangming True has been in closed-door cultivation all these years and has never gone outside."
"In closed-door cultivation all this time?"
Sea Suppressing Ancestor was not surprised.
For Nascent Soul cultivators, a single session of closed-door cultivation could last several years or even decades.
It has only been over two years since he compensated the Fu Hai Sect to the counterpart.
After thinking for a moment, Sea Suppressing Ancestor decided to visit the Fu Hai Sect under a fabricated pretext.
"Greetings, Ancestor!"
"Greetings, Ancestor!"
When Sea Suppressing Ancestor arrived at the Fu Hai Sect, Hai Qin and Cang Jue immediately came to pay their respects, their expressions extremely respectful.
Sea Suppressing Ancestor did not speak, silently observing the two women in front of him.
To ensure they had not been subjected to any divine ability techniques by Yangming True Monarch.
According to his knowledge, the Star Moon Palace possesses a Soul Manipulation Puppet Technique.
It can control another person’s soul consciousness, turning them into a puppet.
Yangming True Monarch, being the East Emperor’s successor, is in the same lineage as the Star Moon Palace and might know such divine skills.
Seeing that the two women seemed untouched, Sea Suppressing Ancestor then spoke: "Inform them that the old man is here for a visit, with matters to discuss."
"Yes, Ancestor!"
The two women did not ask questions and immediately went outside Lu Changsheng’s cave mansion to make a report.
Sea Suppressing Ancestor waited patiently, not urging.
After all, a Nascent Soul cultivator in closed-door cultivation would not normally respond.
However, after several days, seeing that Yangming True Monarch had not replied, Sea Suppressing Ancestor felt something was wrong.
If he came for a visit, surely the other party should at least respond?
After waiting patiently for a few more days, Sea Suppressing Ancestor realized something was amiss.
He suspected that Yangming True Monarch was not in the cave mansion.
He was very cautious and did not use divine sense to probe.
In any place, using divine sense to probe someone else’s cave mansion is taboo.
If Yangming True Monarch were cultivating in the cave, it would become a grievance.
So, after waiting another half month, with the help of secret techniques and Fu Hai Sect’s formation, he began to capture and perceive Lu Changsheng’s qi mechanism.
After a long time, Sea Suppressing Ancestor almost confirmed that Yangming True Monarch was not in the Fu Hai Sect!
"When did this person leave?"
Sea Suppressing Ancestor’s expression was serious.
He had originally agreed to compensate with the Fu Hai Sect.
And had sent Hai Qin and Cang Jue to Lu Changsheng as maids to delay the counterpart, gaining time.
He never expected that in just two years, the counterpart would no longer be in the Fu Hai Sect.
If he temporarily left due to some affair, it would be fine.
If the counterpart sensed danger and chose to flee, it would be troublesome.
Sea Suppressing Ancestor pondered for a moment, left the Fu Hai Sect, and returned to the Sea Suppression Sect to inform Star King and Turtle Immortal Ancestor of the news.
"Not in the Fu Hai Sect?"
Star King’s brow immediately furrowed.
Previously, even when he joined forces with Moon Venerate, they could not divine the counterpart’s situation or information.
So he knew attempting to divine the whereabouts of the "East Emperor’s successor" was impossible.
Moreover, like Sea Suppressing Ancestor, he worried that this "East Emperor’s successor" had sensed danger and fled.
"Unless this person is a fourth-rank master of divination, there’s no way they could have sensed the danger."
Star King was confident in his methods.
He had previously used divination skills to confuse and obscure heavenly secrets.
Unless the "East Emperor’s successor" was a fourth-rank diviner and possessed a heavenly mechanism treasure, their spiritual sense would be clouded and obscured.
Beside him, Turtle Immortal Ancestor was also a bit surprised.
His divinations always pointed to auspicious outcomes, no matter what.
Yet now, even with the person’s absence, it was auspicious?
"Turtle Immortal Ancestor, Star King, do you have any opinions?"
Sea Suppressing Ancestor looked at the two in front of him, feeling somewhat stifled.
The three of them had made so many preparations, he had even mobilized Dao Soldiers, arranged battle power, and waited at the Fu Hai Sect for so long.
The result was that the counterpart had vanished.
"I have already confounded the heavenly secrets. Unless this person is a fourth-rank diviner and possesses a heavenly mechanism treasure, it would be hard to sense the approaching danger, so it’s most likely a temporary departure."
Star King said with a stern expression.
Turtle Immortal Ancestor nodded, leaning towards this possibility as well.
Soon, the three of them discussed for a moment and decided to wait a little longer to see if the counterpart would return.
