Chapter 339 The truth comes to light

Donghai Gate, deep sea dragon palace.

"Father, I have seen Qingyun Sect's Sikong Ming and his group leave Dongyou Island, and will leave our Donghaimen soon."

After hearing what his eldest son said, Ao Yu's originally serious expression gradually relaxed.

Don't think that he and Sikong Ming were always at odds with each other.

It seems that he doesn't take Sikong Ming and Qingyun Sect seriously at all.

But in fact, the emergence of Qingyun Sect still brought him considerable pressure.

Because once Qingyun Sect discovers his true purpose.

There may be some unexpected changes.

And the real purpose lies in the dragon transformation ceremony he will hold soon.

Ao Yu is now a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. As long as he succeeds in transforming into a dragon, he will be able to take a further step and become a cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation stage.

The Spirit Transformation Stage is the absolute top combat force in the entire Central Plains.

Every time one appears, it brings a huge improvement to the sect.

The core purpose of everything Ao Yu did recently was to increase his success rate in transforming into a dragon.

However, it is not an easy task to break through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spirit Transformation stage.

The dangers encountered are tens or hundreds of times greater than those of the Nascent Soul stage.

They are completely incomparable.

Even now, Ao Yu is only half sure that he can successfully transform into a dragon.

This was even when he received help from a mysterious person.

Thinking of this, Ao Yu said quietly: "You go out first. I need to adjust myself and accumulate strength for the dragon transformation in the near future."

When Ao Yu's eldest son, Ao Guang, heard this, he immediately showed an excited expression.

"yes!"

Once Ao Yu successfully breaks through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, the status of his lineage in the Donghai Gate will naturally rise.

And as Ao Yu's eldest son, he would naturally gain considerable benefits.

Now he has been stuck at the peak of the Jindan stage for hundreds of years.

The reason why he has been unable to make a breakthrough is that although his qualifications are good, they are not top-notch.

If you break through rashly, the risk of failure is very high.

The second reason is that the Dragon Transformation Technique of Donghai Sect is very special.

The difficulty of one's own breakthrough is related to the realm of one's direct bloodline.

If a high-level cultivator appears in the direct bloodline.

Then their descendants will immediately gain a certain degree of bloodline improvement.

Therefore, once Ao Yu successfully breaks through.

Then Ao Guang can also gain a significant improvement in his bloodline.

By then, his chances of successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage would naturally increase exponentially.

But just as Ao Guang was immersed in excitement, he did not notice that Ao Yu's eyes behind him were strangely filled with guilt when he looked at him.

There was undoubtedly something wrong with this look. It did not seem like the look of a person who was about to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Not long after Ao Guang left, Ao Yu took out a token from his arms.

If Lu Chen were here, he would immediately recognize that this token was none other than the Nine Realms Token he had obtained before.

Ao Yu held the Nine Realms Order, and the guilt and confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared.

What replaced it was a firmness that had never been seen before.

"In the path of cultivation, if you don't make progress, you will regress. My life span is running out. If I miss this opportunity, I'm not sure if I will still be able to reach the state of spiritual transformation."

"Now that the opportunity is right in front of me, I can't let it slip away from me."

"Even if this breakthrough requires me to sacrifice all my descendants, I will do it at all costs."

After saying that, Ao Yu put away the Nine Realms Order in his hand.

Then an order came from the depths of the Deep Sea Dragon Palace and quickly spread to the entire Donghai Gate.

Soon, the entire Donghai Gate began to take action.

It looked like something big was about to happen.

At the same time, at the border of Donghaimen.

After leaving the Nine Realms Gate, the Qingyun Sect used their own immortal boat to take other Taoists back.

It seemed that he really believed the reasons given by Donghaimen.

But on a hill not far from the fairy boat, Sikong Ming, Lu Chen, Wu Miao and Di Ting suddenly appeared there.

King Meow looked at the two people beside him with a confused look on his face.

Because not long ago, Sikong Ming and Lu Chen suddenly found him and quietly left the fairy boat with him.

By Sikong Ming's miraculous skills of talismans.

As a result, they did not attract any attention in the process.

Even the other sects that were accompanying them did not notice their departure.

At this time, King Meow had no idea why Sikong Ming and Lu Chen did this.

Isn't it all over?

The murderer who killed Ao Lie was caught, and Ao Yu, the current leader of Donghai Sect, also promised that the matter would end here and he would not vent his anger on other sects.

According to its understanding, their purpose this time is to calm the Donghaimen down.

In other words, it is to prevent Donghaimen from using this as an excuse to annex other small sects.

Judging from the current situation, they have accomplished this task perfectly.

If the Donghai Sect were to attack other sects now, it would be without a legitimate reason and would be attacked by the other ten major sects.

Why is it that even though things have come to this point, both Sikong Ming and Lu Chen act as if things are far from over?

Out of strong curiosity, King Wu Miao asked, "Junior Brother Lu, what is going on?"

"We are leaving now without saying goodbye. Are we going to do something shameful?"

"Could it be that there is something strange about the Donghai Gate?"

Lu Chen nodded and replied, "Brother Wumiao, the current situation of Donghaimen is far more serious than what Peak Master Sikong and I thought."

"At first, we speculated that all the actions of Donghaimen were being used by someone with ulterior motives to stir up trouble in Zhongzhou."

"But as we continue to learn more, we find that the complexity and danger level are far beyond our imagination."

"Brother Wumiao, do you think Luo Hong is really the murderer who killed Ao Lie?"

"ah?"

King Wumiao was stunned for a moment, then instinctively said: "That should be the case. After all, Ao Yu has no reason to lie to us. Besides, even if he wanted to, it wouldn't be that easy."

"Haven't we already verified that Luo Hong is indeed tainted with the blood curse from Ao Lie?"

"This curse can only be cast by the direct disciples of Donghai Sect, and each disciple's bloodline curse is unique and irreplaceable."

"Could it be that the Donghai Clan used some means to forge a bloodline curse?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "No, Luo Hong was indeed involved in the murder of Ao Lie."

"He is just the murderer on the surface. There is a bigger murderer hiding behind."

“…”

Damn, my head itches so much, I feel like I need to grow a brain.

To this day, King Meow feels more and more that his IQ is not enough.

Both Sikong Ming and Lu Chen were certain that Donghaimen would catch the murderer in the near future.

Or at the moment they believe that there is a bigger culprit behind Ao Lie's case.

All of these are beyond King Meow's own understanding.

It was never a brainy guy from the beginning.

Not to mention the brain-burning task of investigating a case within a case.

Fortunately, Lu Chen didn't seem to want King Meow to figure out the key to this matter himself.

Directly told King Meow the answer.

"Brother Wumiao, if you want to speculate about me and Peak Master Sikong, you need to start from the first time you learned about the Donghai Gate riot."

Is this so early? King Wumiao stared at Lu Chen in amazement, as if he couldn't understand why Lu Chen and Sikong Ming had guessed something when the Donghai Gate rioted.

You have to know that at that time, they didn’t even know why the Donghaimen riot occurred, so how could they infer so much information?

Are we really staying in the same sect?

Why do I suddenly feel a little sorry for being a disciple of Qingyun Sect?

It was me who lowered the IQ level of Qingyun Sect.

Facing the confused King Wu Miao, Lu Chen explained: "Brother Wu Miao, wherever there is a trace, there must be a trace."

"Regarding the Donghaimen incident, whether it was secretly pushed by someone or it was just a coincidence, it does not affect our ability to infer their purpose through Donghaimen's subsequent actions."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“Brother Wu Miao, if you pay close attention, you will find that the sects framed by the Donghai Sect are all wealthy sects with average strength but a large amount of spirit stones.”

"If we just want to seek an explanation from them, Donghaimen has many ways to deal with it. There is no need to bring people to surround other people's mountain gates, and there is no need to act as if we want to wipe out other people's clans."

"As one of the ten major sects in Zhongzhou, doesn't the Donghai Sect know the consequences of its actions?"

Lu Chen turned his head and looked towards the horizon in the distance, and said firmly: "No, the Donghai Clan has been able to survive until now, so it must not be the kind of existence that will be blinded by hatred."

"They are very clear that if they do this, it will only cause other sects to be wary, and may even cause other sects to unite and come to them to demand an explanation."

"If this isn't handled properly, even if the Donghai Sect isn't wiped out, it will definitely be enough to cause them serious damage."

"I doubt whether it is necessary for Donghai Sect to gamble the future of the entire sect for a Jindan-stage disciple."

"And if it's not for revenge, then that means one thing."

"That is, everything the Donghaimen did was just under the guise of revenge to cover up their other purposes."

"It is absolutely extraordinary that they are willing to do something even if it is against the will of the world."

"What could make a sect willing to take a gamble despite the opposition of other sects?"

Hearing this, King Meow quickly understood.

King Meow's IQ is indeed not as good as Lu Chen and Sikong Ming.

But this doesn't mean it's really a fool.

It can even be said that King Meow, who was able to attain enlightenment at an early age, is definitely one of the few spiritual beasts with extremely high levels of enlightenment.

"Junior Brother Lu, do you think someone in the Donghai Sect is about to break through?"

Lu Chen nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

As for who the person who made the breakthrough was, Lu Chen didn't need to say anything.

An arrogant figure emerged in King Meow's mind.

That is the current leader of Donghai Sect, Ao Yu.

First of all, Ao Yu’s cultivation is at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Moreover, he has entered the Nascent Soul stage for thousands of years and has long possessed the conditions to break through the Nascent Soul stage.

Secondly, a series of events after Ao Lie’s death were all promoted by Ao Yu.

But he is Ao Lie's father, so it is legitimate and no one can find fault with him.

Finally, as the leader of the Donghai Sect, Ao Yu was the one pushing everything in secret.

Most people really can't notice anything unusual.

After all, the resources that the leader of one of the top ten sects can mobilize are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

But this made King Meow a little confused.

"That's not right. If it's just for the sake of breakthrough, would Donghaimen not support him?"

“You should know that Ao Yu is the head of the Donghai Sect. Not to mention the resources for a Nascent Soul Stage breakthrough to the Spiritualization Stage, even the resources for a Spiritualization Stage tribulation breakthrough, the Donghai Sect can definitely provide them.”

"No matter how you look at it, if it was just for the sake of a breakthrough, Ao Yu wouldn't have to take such a big risk, unless..."

I don’t know what King Meow Meow was thinking about, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Unless he wants to break through in a way that does not allow him to gain support from the Donghai Gate, it is even possible that the entire Donghai Gate will be dragged down as a result."

"Could it be that the guy is trying to break through to the God Transformation stage by using evil and unorthodox methods?"

As soon as King Meow Meow said this, he became completely upset.

The reason why evil cults are evil cults.

This is because their methods of cultivation are often detrimental to the harmony of nature.

As the leader of the Donghai Sect, Ao Yu must be very clear about what will happen if he uses evil methods to break through.

By then, not to mention other sects, even someone within the Donghai Sect would be able to stop him.

Because for a sect, if it wants to be passed down for a long time.

Some openings must not be opened.

Once this gap is opened, it will have no impact on the entire sect even in the short term.

In the long run, it will definitely damage the foundation of the entire sect.

It is precisely this situation that can explain the series of strange actions of Ao Yu and Donghaimen.

No wonder, no wonder Junior Brother Lu and Master Sikong Feng were certain that Donghaimen, or Ao Yu, would catch the "murderer" in the near future.

Because he didn't dare let the people from Qingyun Sect stay in Donghai Gate for too long, he had to let them leave early.

No wonder they would take action against other small sects in the name of capturing the murderer.

There are many evil techniques, but they almost all have one thing in common.

That is, when practicing, a large number of living beings must be sacrificed.

If Ao Yu was sacrificing a disciple of Donghai Sect.

Even if he is the head of the sect, he can never suppress this matter.

After all, with his level of cultivation, ordinary sacrifices are of no use.

The only way is to use people from other sects as sacrifices and gather a father who is furious because of the "loss of his son".

Only in this way can he perfectly conceal all his actions.

The more he thought about it, the more King Meow Meow felt that this speculation might be the root cause of all the current unrest in Donghai Gate.

It was at this moment that King Meow Meow remembered what Lu Chen and Sikong Ming had seen regarding the constellations of Donghai Gate when they were in the Observatory.

According to Lu Chen at the time, the star sign of Donghai Gate was arrogant and contained a huge crisis.

This perfectly fits with Ao Yu's current situation where he is trying to break through using evil and unorthodox methods.

Thinking of this, King Meow also completely understood the actions of Lu Chen and Sikong Ming along the way.

As a result, Sikong Ming fought with Ao Yu many times. Perhaps his fundamental purpose was not that Sikong Ming disliked Ao Yu, but that he wanted to test him.

Horrible... so horrible.

King Meow looked at Lu Chen and Sikong Ming, and for the first time felt the scheming of a cultivator.

It couldn't imagine itself being the enemy of Sikong Ming or Lu Chen.

Then to what extent will the two of them plan it?

Perhaps even if it was sold by two people, it would still foolishly count the money for them.

This is not a joke, it is something that could actually happen.

Without paying attention to King Meow's complicated mood, Sikong Ming used his fingers to grasp the Dharma, as if sensing something.

After a moment, Sikong Ming moved directly.

"It's time to go."

As he spoke, Sikong Ming turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Donghai Gate.

Lu Chen and King Wumiao immediately followed...
