“They are giant insects that can shrink many things. After returning to Ninghua Sect, once those spiritual vein ores are properly placed, they can restore them,” Shen Sangruo explained.

Wuwei Daoist and Changli Immortal Lord came over after seeing that they had finished their conversation.

Fang Yu and the other two left on their own, leaving only the original seven members of Ninghua Sect.

"Sang girl, did you discover anything when you fought that great demon?"

When she informed other sects of the evil cultivators' conspiracy, Ninghua Sect barely participated in the discussion.

We were waiting for this moment to discuss it in detail.

After all, Ninghua Sect has a special situation and possesses more information.

If Shen Sang cannot expose the origins of Ninghua Sect, the evil cultivators have not yet fallen silent, which will only be detrimental to Ninghua Sect.

"We can be fairly certain that the great demon in the Starry Plains is none other than Ya Lan, the leader of the demonic cultivators during the great chaos of that year," Immortal Lord Changli said calmly. "He was a formidable opponent. How did you defeat him?"

During the chaos, there weren't many radical demonic cultivators involved, but Ya Lan happened to be skilled in soul magic, which she used to bewitch the minds of many conservative demonic cultivators.

This resulted in nearly two-thirds of the demonic cultivators participating in the chaos.

Moreover, when fighting against Ya Lan, countless cultivators have been deceived by him if they are not careful, and have lost their lives at his hands.

Shen Sanruo briefly recounted what happened: "When I shot the modified Phoenix Feather Arrow at Ya Lan, he pulled my soul to another space, and with the help of that soul power, I devoured him."

She spoke lightly, but Changli Immortal Lord and the others knew about Ya Lan's methods and were well aware of the dangers involved. Their expressions showed a hint of heartache.

Shen Sanruo raised her hand, and the feather fan in her hand floated in the air, transformed into the shape of a bow and arrow, and then fell back into her hand.

The blue feathers represent the wind, and the red phoenix feather arrows represent fire; the two are remarkably harmonious.

Immortal Lord Changli's eyes flickered slightly.

He showed it to the group, nocked the phoenix feather arrow onto the feathered bow, and shot out a powerful wave of heat.

After hitting the target, the phoenix feather arrow returned to her hand.

"Thanks to Master's protective feather, otherwise I'm afraid I would have had no chance of finding a way to break it."

"It's because you are strong enough that you were able to successfully modify the feather fan in such a short time," the Taoist Wuwei exclaimed.

Ye Huai and his companions only regretted that they weren't from the bird clan; otherwise, they would definitely have given their protective feathers to their junior sister.

One arrow isn't enough; look, they all need to be "recycled."

Immortal Lord Changli looked at her, "After you devoured Yalan's soul, did anything unusual happen?"

If Shen Sanruo answered truthfully, "There seems to be a demonic aura next to the Nascent Soul, but it was suppressed by the flames formed from my spiritual power. It's not a big problem, no need to worry."

The group nodded. "That's good then."

She asked again, "Ya Lan was sealed in the Starry Plain, and the barrier was also set up by the sealer. There's also the array of the spiritual veins. Master, what happened ten thousand years ago? Who was that sealer?"

"At that time, the evil cultivators and the demonic cultivators joined forces. The evil cultivators attacked Ninghua Sect, while the demonic cultivators attacked another sect called Taichu Sect." Immortal Lord Changli's voice was deep and melancholy.

Wuwei Daoren continued, "The Taichu Sect and our sect were the two most prosperous sects in the cultivation world at that time. As long as we conquer our two sects, we can take over the cultivation world."

"I just remembered that the old site of the Tai Chu Sect is not far from here. Perhaps they fought Ya Lan here and then sealed him with all their might."

The "old friend" mentioned by the Daoist Wuwei was an old fellow from the Taichu Sect.

In the end, the chaos was so great that Ninghua Sect was too busy to even look after itself and had no chance to investigate the situation of Taichu Sect.

It now appears that the Taichu Sect likely paid the price of the entire sect to severely injure and seal Ya Lan.

The Taichu Sect was not as fortunate as the Ninghua Sect.

Shen Sangruo also deduced the fate of the person who sealed him from Ya Lan's few words.

The Taichu Sect should have already been destroyed.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, and none of them felt good.

That is why they must uncover the evil cultivators' conspiracy as soon as possible, so as not to betray the blood of the entire Taichu Sect.

"Ya Lan said that back then, it was that group of evil cultivators who took the initiative to ally with the demonic cultivators, or even asked to ally with them."

"From this, we can infer that their plan is also beneficial to the demonic cultivators, and their interests are not in conflict."

"And if they really started planning from that time, could their attack on the cultivation world, followed by their failure and disappearance, also be part of their plan?" Shen Sangruo analyzed.

"Junior Sister, do you mean they deliberately hid themselves?" Ye Huai asked. "The purpose was to make us lower our guard, to make us think that their power was gone, so that we could cover up their plans."

She said in a deep voice, "Based on the current information, it is very likely that this is the case, and their plan has been very successful."

Their clues were only discovered now, ten thousand years later.

"Hidden somewhere in the cultivation world, conserving their strength and waiting for the right time to launch a full-scale attack on the cultivation world and conquer it in one fell swoop."

"I also think that they are definitely not simply hiding, otherwise they wouldn't have pretended to conquer the cultivation world ten thousand years ago."

"They must have taken advantage of that opportunity to do something else."

"Master, Sect Master, senior brothers and sisters, did the evil cultivators and demonic cultivators do anything unusual back then?" She glanced at each of them.

Immortal Lord Changli and the others carefully recalled the events, and fearing that they might have missed any details, they recounted the whole story from beginning to end.

However, there was nothing unusual about the overall situation. The two main forces attacked Ninghua Sect and Taichu Sect respectively, while the scattered forces attacked and harassed other places in the cultivation world.

The plan was meticulous, the action was organized and swift, and no problems were apparent.

Therefore, no one suspected that it was a feint.

With no clear direction, Shen Sangruo's thoughts drifted to another question: "So, at that time, almost the entire cultivation world was filled with evil cultivators committing crimes?"

"Yes, but the battle between Ninghua Sect and Taichu Sect is particularly intense," Immortal Lord Changli replied.

"Why is there no record of this in the cultivation world?" Even top sects like the Flying Cloud Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect are completely unaware of it.

She thought that the chaos only affected Ninghua Sect, and it was reasonable that no one in the cultivation world knew about it.

But in reality, the entire cultivation world experienced great chaos, so even after tens of thousands of years, it's impossible that no records were left behind.

"Could it be that the evil cultivators tampered with the memories of the people in the cultivation world at that time?" Su Xiyu guessed.

Fearing that someone might discover something amiss, they erased everyone's memories to ensure absolute safety.

Shen Sangruo gazed intently, "That should be it."

Song Weiyan said indignantly, "Those evil cultivators are truly disgusting! They're cunning and persistent!"

"Fortunately, we have already discovered that something is wrong. For now, let's proceed according to our existing speculations. If we find the hiding place of the evil cultivators, we can resolve most of the conspiracy."
