C445 Chu Ansheng's Doubts

The autumn wind was more bitter than the rest of the season, and there was still a glimmer of light in the distant sky, but the chill that filled the air told the world that night was coming.

As time passed, the first round of the disciple competition also came to an end. After the Disciplinary Elder announced the final winner on the Trial Arena, there were not many disciples left below the arena.

At this point, the competition for today had come to an end. Lee Zhuohua followed Lake Gate and the others on the way back.

Today's disciple competition had allowed him to obtain a lot of information, so he needed to go back and digest it.

"Hu."

A gust of bone-piercing night breeze blew across the Trial Arena. During the day, there were a lot of people engaged in fierce battle here, and as the first round of disciple competition ended and all the disciples left, the place became deserted.

After the final match ended, the Disciplinary Elder had already returned to the main audience seating. He needed to report to the two Palace Lords.

"Palace Master, the first round of the disciple competition has ended." The Disciplinary Elder bowed slightly to the two Palace Masters.

Although the Palace Elders held a high position in the Outer Palace, they still had to maintain their respect in front of the two Palace Lords, because this was not only a difference in status between the two of them, but also because the two Palace Lords were Stellar Lords of the Earth Surge Realm.

Thus, these palace elders were filled with awe and respect for Chu Angsheng and the others.

After Chu Angsheng and Lih Hongtao heard the report from the Disciplinary Elder, they both nodded their heads to show that they understood. Chu Angsheng waved his hand to dismiss the Disciplinary Elder.

Then the two lords looked at each other, and saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

"Let's call it a day here. Everyone, please head back first." Chu Angsheng turned around and said to the group of palace elders behind him.

Since the Patriarch had spoken, these hall elders naturally did not dare to stay here any longer.

After they respectfully bowed to Chu Angsheng and Lih Hongtao, they dispersed.

After all the hall elders had left, the two manor lords did not say anything else and only nodded their heads at each other.

"Swish." "Swish."

The two of them flashed on the spot, and in the blink of an eye, the two Palace Lords were gone. It was as if there hadn't been anyone here before.

After they had left, the whole place was completely empty. The last light of the sky was completely gone, and the night had fallen.

...

In the deepest part of the Qian Yuan Academy's Outer Palace, there was a towering ivory tower, and the style of this building was even more dignified than those palaces and other buildings. In terms of height, it was also the highest in the Outer Palace.

The yellow ivory showed that the building had been there for years, so that the ivory, which should have been so white, was stained with age.

The ivory tower located in the depths of the Outer Palace was the residence of the two Palace Masters.

After leaving the Trial Arena, Chu Angsheng and Lih Hongtao immediately returned to the Ancient Sun Realm. The reason for this was none other than that Chu Angsheng had received an important piece of information from the Ancient Sun Realm today.

As for the contents of the message, only Chu Angsheng himself knew about it. Even Lih Hongtao had no way of knowing about it, but from Chu Angsheng's performance today, it was clear that the content of the message must be extremely serious.

That was why the two of them had rushed back here immediately after the end of the first round of the disciple competition.

"What is it?" Lih Hongtao realized the seriousness of the matter, so he suppressed his curiosity at the Trial Arena and did not probe too deeply. However, when he returned here, no one could pry into their conversation. Therefore, he asked directly without any hesitation.

Chu Angsheng did not reply to Lih Hongtao's question. It was not that he did not want to say it, but that he was thinking about what to say.

Chu Angsheng paced back and forth in the room with his hands clasped behind his back. His expression was also very serious, and his originally calm eyes began to show a trace of sharpness.

Lih Hongtao knew Chu Angsheng very well. Seeing his old partner like this, he knew that this matter must be very serious. Otherwise, Chu Angsheng, who had always been calm, would not have revealed such an expression.

"Duk." "Duk." "Duk."

Neither of the two men in the room said a word. Only the sound of Chu Angsheng's pacing back and forth could be heard continuously. The slow and rhythmic sound made the atmosphere in the room somewhat heavy.

"Something bad has happened at Gu Yang." Chu Angsheng thought about it for a long time and finally stopped in his tracks. He turned around and said this to Lih Hongtao, but the sharp look in his eyes did not fade at all.

Lih Hongtao had been waiting patiently for Chu Angsheng to tell him what was going on, but upon hearing that something bad had happened to the Ancient Sun Realm, although his heart was a little heavy, he somehow felt a sense of relief, as if it was because the other party said that the place of the accident was not the Demon Realm.

"Gu Yang? What's going on there? Who sent you the message?" Lih Hongtao was unable to suppress the doubt in his heart, so he asked all the questions in his heart.

"Jing Hongguang sent me a message saying that the bronze door under the Ancient Yang Imperial Palace had been disturbed, but now that they have stabilized there, for some reason, there are many non-human and non-demonic existences appearing in the Ancient Sun Realm, secretly corroding the Ancient Sun Realm." After organizing his thoughts, Chu Angsheng told them what he had learned.

As soon as he mentioned the bronze door under the Ancient Yang Imperial Palace, the expression on Lih Hongtao's face instantly changed, but only after hearing Chu Angsheng say that it had already stabilized did his expression relax a little. However, when Chu Angsheng mentioned those non-human and non-demonic existences, his eyes also revealed traces of confusion.

The two of them knew a few secrets about the bronze door beneath the Ancient Yang Imperial Palace, but those things involved the truth of the entire world, so normally, only a few people knew about those things.

Although Chu Angsheng and the others were only at the Earth Surge Realm, as the Outer Palace Masters of the Qian Yuan Academy, they knew a few things that ordinary people did not know.

For instance, the bronze door beneath the Ancient Yang Imperial Palace involved some shocking secrets, which was why they were so nervous when they heard that it was related to the bronze door.

"Does the Inner Palace know about this?" Instead of asking about what Chu Angsheng had just said, Lih Hongtao did so out of concern that the situation over at Gu Yang's side would be too serious for them to handle.

"The Inner Palace is still in the dark, and Jing Hongguang also has his own concerns, so he only sent a message to me." Chu Angsheng said in a serious tone.

Usually, this kind of thing should be informed to the Inner Palace as soon as possible. However, the current Gu Yang Royal Family was no longer the original Gu Yang Royal Family, and they were also a little resistant to the relationship between them and the Qian Yuan Academy. After all, how could a royal family be willing to listen to the orders of the Qian Yuan Academy?

Lih Hongtao was also an intelligent person, so after hearing the other party's words, he naturally understood what Gu Yang meant.

"What kind of existence is that that is neither human nor demon? Have they found out?" Lih Hongtao turned around and began to ask about what Chu Angsheng had just said.

Hearing Lih Hongtao's question, Chu Angsheng could not help but frown.

"They didn't check it out clearly, but those existences have already eroded many of the forces in the Ancient Sun Realm. They were afraid that they would alert the enemy, so they had been observing in secret, but I think that those existences might have something to do with the copper door." Chu Angsheng said with a sharp gaze.

"It has something to do with the copper door? What are you going to do?" After all, the Outer Palace was ruled by Chu Angsheng. Thus, after learning about what had happened at Gu Yang's side, Lih Hongtao did not cross the line and instead asked the other party what he should do.

"We can only wait until the time of the Sandalwood Book Will. At that time, you can personally bring the top ten disciples with you to secretly investigate." Chu Angsheng thought for a while and said.

Hearing Chu Angsheng's words, Lih Hongtao's expression did not change. Although this matter was serious, he did not have any intention of declining.

"That's all we can do for now." Lih Hongtao sighed and said.

Even now, Chu Angsheng's tightly knitted brows remained furrowed, because he still had some doubts in his heart. He was afraid that the situation over at Gu Yang's side would be even worse than he had imagined.

However, everything could only be clarified after Lih Hongtao went to investigate.
