C740 The Fruitless Search for Zhou Yun

The second round of the comprehension test quickly ended. The difficulty of comprehending the Soul-Cleansing Curse was not that high, but it was very suitable for those who had never come into contact with cultivation. Two of the candidates at Profound Level had passed the test, while the rest of the Yellow Grade candidates, with the exception of a few who did not pass, had all passed the comprehension test.

At this point, the enrollment ceremony of the Profound Sect had also come to an end perfectly. The new disciples who had passed the test had automatically become disciples of the sect, and in a while, they would follow the lead of the other disciples to the Nan Feng. As for those who had not passed, some of them had made up their minds to stay in the Profound Sect as laborers.

Because of the end of Xuan Li's enrolment ceremony, the representatives of the forces attending the ceremony had left one by one, but the ceremony had given them a lot of important information that they needed to report back to their sects.

Little Sword Immortal, on the other hand, did not leave. He needed to complete the deal with Profound Sect, so he had been waiting for the Master of the Profound Sect to speak.

"Little Sword Immortal, wait a moment. We'll discuss this matter at night" The Master of the Profound Sect said politely.

"No worries." Hanguangjun waved his hand and said.

After that, the disciples of the Profound Sect went back to their own mountains. All the Elders of the Profound Li Sect also returned to their respective positions. For a moment, only Lee Zhuohua, Master of the Profound Sect, and Little Sword Immortal were left in the hall.

Since the Master of the Profound Sect did not arrange for Lee Zhuohua to go anywhere else, Lee Zhuohua did not know where he should go either. Furthermore, he also wanted to know where the Jade Forest Stone Mines was located. If the two of them were to talk about it at this moment, he would be able to eavesdrop.

"You don't have to go to the Nan Feng; but, if you go to the West Peak now, you might not be able to get used to the life of the Successor Disciples. Before you decide whether or not you want to acknowledge me as your master, you can stay in the North Peak for the time being. That is the place where the High Officials live; I will send a message later; if you have anything you don't understand about cultivation, you can ask the High Officials." Master of the Profound Sect turned around and said to Lee Zhuohua.

"Understood." Lee Zhuohua nodded, and did not seem reserved.

"In that case, you should go first. I still have some things to do." The Master of the Profound Sect told Lee Zhuohua to go to the North Peak first. From the looks of it, he was planning to discuss with Little Sword Immortal about the trade of the Jade Forest Stone Mines.

Lee Zhuohua looked at the two of them and pondered for a while before turning around and leaving. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to eavesdrop on anything related to the Jade Forest Stone Mines.

Master of the Profound Sect watched as Lee Zhuohua left, then turned around and looked at Little Sword Immortal.

"Little Sword Immortal, please come with me." The Master of the Profound Sect extended his hand and made an inviting gesture.

After that, the two walked towards the main hall of the East Mountain.

...

After Lee Zhuohua walked down from the East Peak Mountain, he raised his head and looked around, looking for the direction of the North Peak.

There were a total of four mountain peaks in the Profound Sect, and each mountain peak had a different function. Lee Zhuohua also had an idea in his heart. The reason why Master of the Profound Sect did not allow him to go to the Nan Feng and the North Peak was because he was worried that he would be bullied by those introductory and direct disciples, and even if there were elders watching him, there would inevitably be some people who would play dirty. After all, his talent could be said to be the highest in the history of the Profound Sect.

"North Peak? It seems that Zhou Xiyu's grandfather is also on this mountain peak. By now, he should have already heard about the death of his grandson. It seems that I have to be careful." Lee Zhuohua looked in the direction of the North Peak and suddenly remembered what happened in Rock Spring Village.

After that, he started to climb the steps towards the North Peak, and step by step, he climbed up the mountain where the revered elders of the Profound Sect lived.

While Lee Zhuohua was on his way to the North Peak, Zhou Yun had just returned from outside the sect. He went out to investigate the cause of his grandson's death, but when he went to the place where his grandson was carrying out his mission and the Wang Family Village where he temporarily stayed, he couldn't find out how his grandson died. However, there was one thing that was very suspicious. His grandson's footprints seemed to have stopped at the Rock Spring Village near the Wang Family Village.

He had been to the Rock Spring Village before, but it was just a small village. He asked the villagers if they had ever seen his grandson, but the answer was no.

He had suspected that the people in this village were lying to him, but these people were just people without any cultivation. His grandson was a cultivator at the Condensing Origin Stage, how could he die at the hands of an ordinary person?

Having gained nothing, Zhou Yun returned unwillingly. As he flew towards the North Peak, he happened to see a young figure flying towards the North Peak.

"Hmm? Who is he? A disciple of the Xuan Li Sect? But why haven't I seen this person before?" Zhou Yun noticed the unfamiliar face of the young man and felt that it was a little strange. Thus, he descended and stood in front of him.

Lee Zhuohua, who was climbing the mountain, suddenly saw an old man descending from the sky and blocking in front of him, which made him feel a little stunned.

"Who are you?" Zhou Yun looked at Lee Zhuohua and asked without any trace of politeness.

Lee Zhuohua guessed that this person should be one of the consecrated elders of the North Peak, so he did not think too much about it and immediately replied.

"This disciple is a new disciple who has just entered the sect in the new disciple's ceremony." Lee Zhuohua said calmly.

"The Newborn Ceremony?" Zhou Yun naturally knew about the new disciple ceremony of the Profound Sect, but he was still puzzled as to why the person in front of him was heading to the North Peak. "Since he is a new disciple, why didn't he go to the South Peak? Why did he come to the North Peak?"

"Under the orders of the sect master, we are going to temporarily stay in the North Peak." Lee Zhuohua said with a slight tremble in his heart.

"Obtained by the Sect Master? Strange." Zhou Yun felt that Lee Zhuohua was a little strange. According to Xuan Li's rules, the new students usually lived in the Nan Feng. Why would they be arranged to live in the North Peak? Furthermore, it was the sect master's idea.

"Senior, are you a Worship Elder of the North Peak? Sect Master said that he would send a message to the North Peak in a while and asked me to come over first. My name is Lee Zhuohua, and I have the Heaven Grade talent for this ceremony." Lee Zhuohua did not want to be stopped here, so he intentionally mentioned the result of his aptitude test.

As expected, when Zhou Yun heard that Lee Zhuohua had Heaven Grade talent, his face was also shocked. After all, not a single person with Heaven Grade talent had appeared in the Profound Sect so far, so it was naturally surprising for such a person to suddenly appear. But at the same time, he also understood what the Master of the Profound Sect meant.

"This old man is Zhou Yun, the head of the North Peak's revered elders. Since it is the sect master's wish, then you may follow me." After saying that, Zhou Yun led Lee Zhuohua towards the North Peak.

Lee Zhuohua, who was following behind Zhou Yun, had a strange expression on his face. He remembered that before Wang Tiansheng died, he said that Zhou Xiyu's grandfather was called Zhou Yun. He did not expect that he would meet this person the moment he arrived at North Peak. Fortunately, the other party did not know that he was the one who killed Zhou Xiyu. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble.

Thinking of this, Lee Zhuohua hid his expression and followed behind Zhou Yun without saying a word.

Zhou Yun thought that Lee Zhuohua was just a newbie without any cultivation base, so he did not fly any further. Instead, he brought Lee Zhuohua up the North Peak on foot.

Perhaps it was because he had not found any clues as to the cause of his grandson's death, so Zhou Yun's expression was not very good at the moment. He did not speak to Lee Zhuohua along the way.

Lee Zhuohua was also happy that the other party did not communicate with him, so as not to let him find out that he had something to do with Zhou Xiyu's death.
