After staying in Silver Flower Valley for five days, Lee Xun had fallen for this place. The environment was quiet and serene, and the people from the Duanmu Clan were all very friendly. Especially those bunch of children, who were so innocent that Lee Xun couldn't help but exclaim about his childhood.
Yesterday, Duanmu Clan had finally found out about the families that attacked together with Qianye Clan, but there was not a single thing that they had to pay attention to, and Qianye Clan had also issued a statement of apology, saying that Qianye Su and the rest had acted on their own accord for the entire matter, and they had brought their deaths upon themselves.
Everyone was very surprised to hear Qianye Clan's apology. He had lost three Earth Rank Peak experts and he was the first in Qianye Clan's younger generation, yet he just let it go like that. However, neither Lee Xun nor the people from Duanmu Clan believed it was enough, but no one could guess what Qianye Clan would do next.
At noon that day, Lee Xun was practicing his sword. Suddenly, Duanmu Ruoxue arrived.
"Lee Xun, someone said that he came to look for you just now. His background seems to be very big, and even Grandfather Tai Zu came out to personally receive him."
Duanmu Ruoxue's Great Grandfather was naturally referring to Duanmu Yang. Upon hearing that, Lee Xun immediately remembered that the person who came here was the Heaven Rank Rankers, otherwise, how would he be able to arouse Duanmu Yang's attention. But there was only Duanmu Yang and Guang Chengzi in contact with the Heaven Rank Rankers after arriving at the Sword Soul Continent, could it be Guang Chengzi?
Arriving at the Guest Hall, Lee Xun saw an unexpected, yet extremely important person. The person who had arrived was none other than Cang Mo.
"Master Cang Mo." Lee Xun was a little excited.
"Brat, it's really you." Cang Mo laughed.
"Senior Cang Mo, you guys chat." Duanmu Yang said respectfully, causing Duanmu Jie and the rest to be shocked. Although they guessed that the person who had arrived was Heaven Rank Rankers, there were not many who could make Duanmu Yang call them seniors. Seeing Duanmu Yang's signal, everyone did not dare to ask anymore, and left the hall to Lee Xun and Cang Mo. Actually, the reason why Duanmu Yang called Senior Cang Mo was not because of his strength. In terms of strength, he was slightly stronger than Cang Mo. The reason he called Cang Mo Senior, was because he could tell that Cang Mo was wearing a Spiritual Body, and because the two of them found out after chatting that Cang Mo was even a Tianyin Sect person, they became even more respectful towards him.
"Stinking brat, it seems like it hasn't even been a year since we parted, yet now I can only see the strength of your Eleventh Rank. Quickly tell me what level your true strength has reached." Cang Mo laughed as though he was carrying a threat.
"Earth Rank Peak, I just met with some fortuitous encounters, but I promised to keep it a secret." In the cold pond behind Silver Flower Valley, Lee Xun had promised Duanmu Yang, so he definitely could not say it out loud. Even if the person who came was Baili Hong, he would not say it out loud if it was not necessary.
"Heh heh, little brat, you must have had some good fortune. Any bit of luck you have can cause people to be jealous to death, but seeing you like this, I want to beat you up. "
"Master Cang Mo, how did you find this place? And how did you know I was here?"
"I'll tell you about this later. How did you arrive at the Sword Soul Continent so quickly? Didn't Old Hong say that he would be back in a few years? "
Being asked by Cang Mo, Lee Xun's heart couldn't help but hurt, and he told his what had happened between him and Rongrong at the Jade Immortals Sword Sect.
"You said that Qing was chosen as the Jiuyou Profound Sect Holy Maiden?" Cang Mo's eyes were almost popping out of their sockets.
Seeing Cang Mo's shock, Lee Xun begged: "Master Cang Mo, tell me everything you know about Jiuyou Profound Sect."
"I don't know much either. What I can tell you is that you must not provoke such a huge being. Jiuyou Profound Sect definitely surpasses all the other forces within the Sword Soul Continent, and one might really need to gather all of the strength of the Sword Soul Continent in order to have any hope of fighting against it. "
"Is Jiuyou Profound Sect really that powerful?" Originally, his estimate of Jiuyou Profound Sect was already very high, but Cang Mo's words, seemed to have splashed a bucket of cold water on Lee Xun's head.
"Only they themselves know how powerful their Jiuyou Profound Sect is. However, one thing is certain, at least half of the strongest practitioners at the peak of the Sword Soul Continent are people with Jiuyou Profound Sect, and this is without the presence of the Nine Serenities Holy Maiden. From the records of our Tianyin Sect, a total of fourteen Holy Maiden s have appeared, and only the previous one has fallen. The other thirteen people left their posts after finding the successor, and every single one of the Holy Maiden s have Spiritual Body s, so it is impossible for them to die naturally. Although none of these Holy Maiden s have appeared since they left their posts, they should still be within the Jiuyou Profound Sect. Even though Old Hong was very strong, he was at most ranked in the top five of Jiuyou Profound Sect Protectors. If it was against Holy Maiden, no matter which one, they wouldn't be a match for him. My words are definitely not alarmist, these are definitely secrets. " The more Cang Mo spoke, the more excited he became.
Lee Xun naturally knew that Cang Mo would not lie to him, but the content of what Cang Mo said was just too shocking. A single Holy Maiden of the Nine Nether Realm was already an extremely terrifying existence, what sort of concept was that for thirteen people?
Seeing Lee Xun remain silent, Cang Mo continued, "Although I knew that Qing was someone who possessed great luck, I never expected her to become a Holy Maiden of the netherworld. Xun, if you really want to be with Qing, I'm afraid that you guys will have to wait until both of you grow up and become peak existences, and then you will have to find a successor for Qing to be recognized by the Jiuyou Profound Sect. "
It wasn't that Cang Mo hadn't thought about it, but no one knew how long it would take, fifty years or a hundred years.
"Master Cang Mo, I understand. Let's talk about how you found this place." Lee Xun calmed his emotions and asked.
"Presumably, you also know that the secrets our Tianyin Sect collect in the entire world are the best. I just happened to see your name recently, and you have stirred up quite a lot of trouble these few days. I don't know why I thought of you, you stinking brat, so I took over this job to confirm it myself. I didn't expect it to be you, so you can be at ease.
"Master Cang Mo, have you investigated the grudges between Baili Clan and itself?"
"Mn, Tianyin Sect had already investigated the truth long ago. I saw it after I returned. The thing was, Baili Clan had always been protecting this ruin, and the clan's older generation experts had all entered the ruins for an unknown reason more than twenty years ago. Then, a traitor appeared in the Baili Clan, wanting to rely on Qianye Clan to seize power for himself. However, unexpectedly, after being schemed against by the Qianye Clan, not only did the exit of the remnant get completely sealed, but he also massacred everyone in the Baili Clan. Nangong Badao should have been near the place where Baili Clan resided at that time, but by the time he rushed over, it was too late, so he had only rescued less than a hundred people. Therefore, this blood feud is very obvious. When Old Hong and the others come back, no matter what decision he makes, I, your Master Dong Gui and the others will support him. "
No wonder the Qianye Clan were so brazen. Lee Xun understood Baili Hong's question when he heard it, and asked: "Master Cang Mo, can we open the exit to the relic and let them out?"
"I'm afraid it's very difficult, Nangong Badao tried it before, but the people from Qianye Clan did not stop him, the result is very obvious, Nangong Badao did not succeed, so we can only wait for Old Hong to return, then we can go there and find out."
Lee Xun thought that he was right. Nangong Badao must have thought of it too, since he could think of this point.
"Master Cang Mo, thank you so much. After coming to the Sword Soul Continent, I have yet to figure out how to investigate the truth of that year."
"This is just a small matter. However, you have to be careful of the Patriarch of Qianye Clan, Thousandleaf. This person is extremely scheming. three years ago, he had already broke through to the Heaven Rank, this point, outsiders did not know about it yet, and there were not many people who knew about it within the Qianye Clan. I assume that he recently issued an apology statement. As you already know, he is actually plotting a huge conspiracy. The information I received was that his target is the Helan Empire royal family, but I don't know of his exact actions, so this time he made a move against the Duanmu Clan, it was only a probing action. Seeing you now, I am assured of your safety. I have one thing I can tell you, as long as you don't attack the door of Qianye Clan, the other Heaven Rank Rankers in the clan of Qianye Clan will not come looking for trouble with you.
The few pieces of information that Cang Mo had brought over was really too important. Firstly, they had to resolve Lee Xun's worries, and not worry about being chased by the Qianye Clan Heaven Rank Rankers. Secondly, they had to make Lee Xun feel that he could do something for them in advance. Since Thousandleaf Zhi was going to do something to the Helan Empire royalty, then he would of course have to make things difficult for them. Otherwise, if he got his hands on them, it would definitely expand, not conducive to his revenge in the future.
"Hehe, it seems like I have to go to Helan Empire."
"Be careful. Thousandleaf must still have something to rely on. When you reach Helan Empire, you will know how powerful the Helan Empire royal family is. I'm telling you this because I hope you won't wander around in the Sword Soul Continent either. It's best if you can destroy Thousandleaf's plan. Finally, I shall remind you one last time: Within three years, you are not allowed to enter my Tianyin Sect. "
Lee Xun felt that Cang Mo's last request was too weird, and laughed: "Master Cang Mo, why do I feel like you came here today for these last few words?"
"That's right. I was worried that you would come to Sword Soul Continent early and look for me there. I can't tell you why. "In short, remember my words. It's good for you and me, understand?" Cang Mo warned once again.
Lee Xun nodded, since Cang Mo had already reminded him of this, then his Tianyin Sect definitely could not go anymore. Actually, he had already found out about everything from Cang Mo. As for the location of the Jiuyou Profound Sect, from what Cang Mo had said just now, it would be a waste to ask. Even if Cang Mo knew, he wouldn't say it.
Seeing that Lee Xun had agreed, Cang Mo did not linger and bid his farewell.
When Cang Mo left, Lee Xun seemed to have become a different person. The strength of his Jiuyou Profound Sect was simply unimaginable, and with every bit of understanding he gained, he felt that it was undefeatable. Just the spectating Heaven Rank Rankers alone had lost dozens of their members in the battle of the last Nine Nether Holy Maiden. Then, to what extent must the first thirteen Holy Maiden s be strong? There should be several that had cultivated for more than ten thousand years.
When Duanmu Yang and the others entered, they saw the stiff expression on Lee Xun's face and knew that something big must have happened to him. Duanmu Yang asked: "Little friend Lee Xun, what happened? Let's talk about it together."
Lee Xun didn't think too much and said: "It's just that there is a very powerful force that I have no choice but to face. Right now, I can't be considered an enemy, but I may become one in the future. If I do not go to them, I will never be my enemy, but I must go to them. "
"Big Brother Lee Xun, then you can just create your own force. With your identity as the number one genius in the history of Sword Soul Continent, finding followers is not a difficult task, if you are willing, then I, Rufeng, will be the first to support you." Duanmu Rufeng had easily achieved it.
Lee Xun suddenly found something, and said: "But for one's own selfish desire, it is possible to cause the people following me to lose their lives, wouldn't that mean we are using the trust of others?"
"Little friend, your words are wrong. Following the strong is the wish of many. No one would complain if someone died for the sake of someone they revered. Speaking of selfish desires, is it not selfish desires to follow the strong? Throughout history, of those who followed the strong, those who succeeded in the end had been legends throughout the ages. For example, the Martial Emperor Liu Zhe from thirty thousand years ago was only there to avenge his father in the beginning, but his enemy was the king of an empire. Forced to take over a mountain, he slowly developed and met seven followers, first establishing the Western Han Kingdom, then avenging his father, and then establishing the Western Han Empire. When the Martial Emperor Liu Shi Ge took up a third of the territory of the Sword Soul Continent, his followers became famous throughout the continent. Especially the seven people who first followed him, they are known as the Seven Saints of the Western Han Dynasty. It has been more than thirty thousand years, don't we still remember them now? But among those Heaven Rank Rankers s from thirty thousand years ago, who could still be mentioned by the current people? Forget about thirty thousand years, even if they were people from three thousand years ago, who would we remember? If the people who follow you think it's worth it, so what if you want to do it for your own sake, as long as you can make them famous and make history remember them. "
Duanmu Yang's words were like a hammer on the head. Although he had never heard of the Martial Emperor Liu Gao and the Seven Saints of the Western Han, but he had laid down a third of the territory over the Sword Soul Continent, just thinking about it made his blood boil.
The thought of establishing his own force of influence sprouted in Lee Xun's heart, but for those who trusted him to face off against Jiuyou Profound Sect, that was still something Lee Xun could not do. Moreover, it was useless to even think about it here. Strength, he must definitely possess powerful strength, and then find the Jiuyou Profound Sect. Only after meeting Qin Qing, would he be able to know what the best course of action was.
