Yan Gao flew out of the mountain and came into the air, facing Wang He from a distance.
Yan Gao and Wang He have been enemies for many years. They are very clear about each other's strength, and even if they fight a big battle here, the winner will not be determined.
Yan Gao's earth defense, coupled with his 'invisible magnetism' ability, makes him one of the most powerful cultivators.
Wang He’s power of thunder cultivation is also at the top of the combat power of great cultivators.
The two great monks fought for a thousand years, but there was no winner.
"Is Wang Yuan alive or dead?" Even though he guessed that Wang Yuan was dead, Wang He still asked in a deep voice, hoping that something unexpected would happen.
He knew Yan Gao very well, just as Yan Gao knew him too.
"I don't know!" Yan Gao shook his head and replied.
"How could you not know? You used the magical power of 'Invisible Magnetism' to set the trap, didn't you just want to kill Wang Yuan?" Wang He asked again, resisting the urge to take action.
Wang Yuan had a very close relationship with him, and his death made him feel extremely sad.
"Indeed, it was Song Yu who led seven fellow disciples to ambush Wang Yuan, but Song Yu died. The other five fellow disciples who left behind soul lamps were also confirmed to have died. Only the two fellow disciples who did not leave behind soul lamps have not been confirmed to be dead or alive, but it is very likely that they died together!" Yan Gao answered without any intention of concealing anything.
He also came from the battlefield. He was only one step slower than Wang He and also found many clues.
However, when he was tracking the Nascent Soul cultivators who had been to the scene, he found that someone was competing with him, and was always one step ahead of him, so he chose the Nascent Soul cultivator who was farthest away.
He also understood that as long as the traces left on the battlefield were known, the traces left by the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Baidi Sect could not be denied.
The most important thing is that the Baidi Sect did not get the "Shenxiao Thunder Pearl". Although they had the idea and action to take action, the final result was not what they expected.
The 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' did not fall into the hands of the Baidi Sect, and he could not let the Yuqing Sect target the Baidi Sect completely.
"It's good that they died. They should have died in Wang Yuan's counterattack. Wang Yuan had such a strong talent, but he died like this!" Wang He believed what Yan Gao said.
The fact that Yan Gao can appear here speaks volumes.
If everything went well, why would Yan Gao, like him, travel thousands of miles from the Western Yan Continent to the Eastern Qi Continent and conduct the same investigation as him?
As an opponent for many years, Wang He was still able to tell whether Yan Gao was lying.
"You know Song Yu's identity. This matter has nothing to do with me, but I was sent here to investigate!" Yan Gao spread his hands and said.
Yan Gao is different from Wang He. Wang He and Wang Yuan have a deep relationship. Even without the instructions from his master Luo Yuan, Wang He would take the initiative to participate in the investigation.
But Yan Gao was forced to come here. If he did this well, he would only get a word of praise or two, but if he did it badly, he would offend the terrifying existence of the Baidi Sect.
That terrifying existence had lost his direct descendants and was in rage. Yan Gao could only investigate with all his strength, hoping to find out the truth of the matter.
He said so much to Wang He just to be able to live in peace with Wang He. Fighting with Wang He at this time is not the best option.
"Yan Gao, what clues did you find?" Wang He was also a smart man. This was not the time for conflict, so he looked at the cave behind Yan Gao and asked.
"Nothing was found. This cultivator did not find any spiritual objects at the scene. He was completely dragged into the conflict!" Yan Gao shook his head and replied. He then asked, "Did you gain anything?"
"It's all the same. I found the first two people who arrived. Their testimonies were the same. There was no discovery there!" Wang He replied in a deep voice.
The two old enemies now inexplicably formed an alliance, and they reached the goal of joint investigation without any discussion during the conversation.
Both Wang He and Yan Gao were thinking about finding out the truth.
"We must have missed something. It seems that it will be difficult to gain anything by relying on ourselves. Why don't we find some helpers in Dongqi Continent!" Yan Gao suggested after thinking for a while.
Even though the Yuqing Sect and the Baidi Sect have not extended their influence to the Dongqi Continent, if they want assistance in the Dongqi Continent, there are still many forces willing to lend a hand.
"Okay, we need to exchange information later!" Wang He nodded in agreement.
After Wang He knew that it was not the Baidi Sect that obtained the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl', he began to wonder which force had the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' in its hands. According to his judgment, it was at least a force with Dongtian in its possession.
Otherwise, how could the 'Shenxiao Thunder Pearl' not be summoned back by Luo Yuan? It was most likely due to the spatial isolation effect of the cave.
And the force that can own a cave heaven is at least a large sect.
If we cannot find any clues on the battlefield, the subsequent investigation will not be completed in a short time.
The two great monks turned around and left in two different directions, each to find the forces they were familiar with.
Li Shiming had been letting his life-saving magic weapon IBMz15 keep an eye on the battlefield. When two blurry figures with extremely large ranges appeared on the battlefield, he knew that trouble had really arrived.
Having used the drone satellite system for a long time, he had an accurate assessment of the strength of the Nascent Soul cultivators shown in the images transmitted back by the drone satellite.
The energy around the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator has an impact on the monitoring images of the drone satellite system, causing a certain range of blur.
The larger the blurred range, the higher the realm of the Nascent Soul cultivator.
The range of blur this time was much larger than that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, so he could be sure that these were two great cultivators.
After returning to the sect, he did not go to inquire about the situation of Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect himself, but asked his clone Li Yuanba to inquire about the situation of Yuqing Sect and Baidi Sect at the "Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion".
After this investigation, he realized the horror of these two sects.
Needless to say, Yuqing Sect is a rare thunder-cultivating sect. All the third-level cultivators in the sect are thunder cultivators.
Even other cultivators in the sect all serve Lei Xiu, who is the dominant force in Yuqing Sect.
The fighting power of Yuqing Sect is extremely terrifying. Even Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion is unwilling to be an enemy of such a force.
Li Yuanba also found out about Yuqing Sect, which is also a super power. This means that Yuqing Sect has at least some existences beyond the great cultivators.
The Baidi Sect is not weaker than the Yuqing Sect, especially when it comes to sword-cultivating sects, it can restrain the sword cultivators very well.
The one that Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion was most reluctant to make an enemy of was not the thunder cultivator of Yuqing Sect, but the cultivator of Baidi Sect who had mastered the magical power of "Invisible Yuan Magnetism".
If not for the limited number of cultivators in Baidi Sect who have mastered the magical power of 'Invisible Magnetism', I'm afraid that Baidi Sect could really become the nemesis of Jianyi Chongxiao Pavilion.
Of course, sword cultivators are not completely unable to deal with the 'invisible magnetic force'. In battle, they can just use sword power instead of flying swords, or perhaps refine a non-metallic flying sword to reduce the impact of the 'invisible magnetic force'.
Unfortunately, if one only uses sword intent without using the flying sword, the power of the sword intent will be greatly reduced, and a non-golden flying sword will also be unable to exert the power of a sword cultivator.
Sword cultivators, especially those in the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Pavilion', mainly practice the 'Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky Art' which is a gold-attribute sword cultivation technique. The vast majority of sword cultivation techniques are gold-attribute techniques.
Although a wooden flying sword can also be used to bless the sword intent, its attack power will be reduced by several times due to the rejection of the attribute.
The Baidi Sect is also a super power, a force that the Wanshou Sect cannot afford to provoke.
Li Shiming didn't dare to move even more. Anyway, when he was outside, he usually activated the stealth function of his color-changing cloak, which would not expose his whereabouts.
A few days later, Li Shiming was summoned by Master Hu.
Master Hu was not in his own cave, but in a temporary cave in the sect that was specially used to entertain distinguished guests.
The cave of Master Hu is in the Four Symbols Cave Heaven. Although it is not a particularly secret place in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, it is not a place where monks from other sects can enter and exit at will.
Therefore, when entertaining distinguished guests from other sects, he would usually choose this kind of temporary cave.
Li Shiming was puzzled as to why he met him here.
When he entered the hall of the temporary cave, he saw that his second senior brother Yue Shan and registered disciple Lu Heng had already arrived.
Next to Master Hu, there sat a strange monk.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, these two are my direct disciples, and they are my registered disciples. I will let them handle your matter. They can call on all the intelligence resources of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!" Master Hu said to Yan Gao beside him with a smile.
Yan Gao and Master Hu met each other hundreds of years ago. At that time, Master Hu and Yan Gao met in the Zhongzhou continent and fought against the enemy together, so they had some friendship.
When Yan Gao came to visit unexpectedly, Master Hu thought something big had happened.
Master Hu knew that the Baidi Sect was behind Yan Gao. Although the Baidi Sect was far away in the Western Yan Continent, the strength of the Baidi Sect was not something that the Wanshou Sect could match.
Fortunately, the request raised by Yan Gao was just a small matter. In order to show his sincerity, Master Hu called all his disciples, even the registered disciples.
He was so solemn just to let Yan Gao know that he had tried his best.
"Some information is recorded here. As long as you find new clues, I will give you corresponding rewards. In addition, this is your compensation. Helping in the investigation will affect your cultivation!" Yan Gao threw a jade slip and a space ring to Yue Shan and said.
Yue Shan is the second senior brother, so he can accept it on your behalf.
Yue Shan did not look at what was in the space ring. He used his spiritual sense to enter the jade slip, scanned it, and then handed the jade slip to Li Shiming.
Li Shiming's consciousness entered the jade slip, and after scanning it, he was slightly shocked, but his face did not show anything, and even his aura did not show the slightest abnormality.
The jade slip records the battle between Wang Yuan of Yuqing Sect and Song Yu of Baidi Sect. What the Wanshou Sect needs to investigate is whether there are any Nascent Soul cultivators who have visited that area during this period of time.
With the power of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, investigating would naturally not be a problem.
In particular, that area is not too far from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Although it is not within its sphere of influence, it is very close to it.
Li Shiming handed the jade slip to Lu Heng, who took it and began to examine it.
"Friend Hu, I'm sorry to trouble your sect this time!" Yan Gao had no intention of staying long, as he still needed to find more help, so he stood up and said goodbye.
"It's not a trouble, just a piece of cake. I'll take you away!" Monk Hu stood up and said with a smile.
The two great monks left this temporary cave, leaving only Yue Shan, Li Shiming and Lu Heng.
“Why don’t the Yuqing Sect and the Baidi Sect just stay in the Western Yan Continent? Why do they come here to fight us!” Lu Heng said as he returned the jade slip to Li Shiming.
"Why do you care why? We just need to let the sect's intelligence department investigate and give an explanation!" Yue Shan waved his hand and said.
Yue Shan’s consciousness entered the space ring, and his expression was slightly stunned.
Then he took out three jade bottles from the space ring, and gave two of them to Li Shiming and Lu Heng respectively.
"The Baidi Sect is truly wealthy. The compensation they gave was twenty fourth-grade intermediate elixirs!" Yue Shan sighed and shook his head.
The more Yan Gao showed that he had a large family and a great fortune, the more Li Shiming felt that he had to be cautious.
However, Yan Gao always found it funny that he asked the parties involved to investigate the matter.
"Senior Brother Yue, Junior Brother Lu, you can divide this bottle of elixir among you. I will not participate. I need to practice in seclusion for a while!" Li Shiming said as he threw the jade bottle in his hand back to Yue Shan.
“Junior Brother Li, you are the one with the real strong family background!” Yue Shan was not polite at all. He took the jade bottle and divided the fourth-grade intermediate elixir in it into two. He took out ten fourth-grade intermediate elixirs and gave them to Lu Heng. He said.
Lu Heng wanted to refuse, but Yue Shan forced it on him.
"Don't be polite to Junior Brother Li. He is a master of alchemy and has a lot of fourth-grade elixirs in his hands. And the quality of the fourth-grade elixirs he refines is much better than this!" Yue Shan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Li!" Lu Heng didn't dare to be as arrogant as Yue Shan, so he bowed and thanked Li Shiming.
"I'm not prepared to do anything, so I can't accept the elixir!" Li Shiming waved his hand and said.
In fact, the reason why he was not going to participate in the investigation was because of the martial arts he practiced.
The thunder cultivation technique he practiced was the 'Yuqing Thunder Canon', which was the inherited technique of the Yuqing Sect.
If he participated in the investigation, he would most likely meet monks from the Yuqing Sect, and then his practice of the 'Yuqing Thunder Code' might be discovered.
"Shizhen is right. He will not participate in the investigation. You two can go and investigate!" At this time, Master Hu came back and heard what Li Shiming said. He made a decision.
Master Hu was one of the few monks who knew that Li Shiming had practiced the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code'. He also did not want the Jade Purity Sect to discover that Li Shiming had practiced the 'Jade Purity Thunder Code'.
Originally, the Yuqing Sect was far away in the Western Yan Continent and had very little contact with the Eastern Qi Continent. The cultivators in the Eastern Qi Continent might rarely see a thunder cultivator from the Yuqing Sect in their entire lives.
However, this investigation involves the Yuqing Sect, so I think the Yuqing Sect will also send monks to participate in the investigation.
Especially the information just sent back, that a great cultivator is visiting Taichu Sect. I think that he is a great cultivator from Yuqing Sect. This makes it even more impossible for Li Shiming to leave the sect during this period of time.
