"It's all because of that useless piece of trash. The secret realm has been closed for so long now, that man must have already run away."
"Without being able to confirm that person's identity, how am I supposed to complete the task assigned by the sect leader?" Sun Yuanjie couldn't help but complain to Xuan Yuanjian.
Sun Yuanjie only learned after arriving that the secret realm had suddenly changed and closed, and had been closed for several days.
Although some cultivators who once entered the secret realm still linger here.
Finding out that person's whereabouts among so many cultivators is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Sun Yuanjie could only stay nearby for the time being and began to contact the cultivators who were still staying there, asking them what happened in the secret realm when the chess piece died.
Fortunately, Sun Yuanjie was lucky; even God was on his side.
He learned from many people that during that period, remnants of the Ming Cult had been active in the secret realm.
Moreover, the appearance of the Ming Cult remnants described by those people was very similar to that of the man the sect leader showed to Sun Yuanjie.
"That person is from the Ming Cult? Which disciple of the Ming Cult could he be?"
Sun Yuanjie believes that this matter may be related to the Ming Cult.
In any case, it can be confirmed that the man the sect leader asked him to find is no longer here.
Sun Yuanjie didn't linger and quickly headed towards the Ming Cult.
Sun Yuanjie never expected that he would hear about his sect in a town under the Ming Cult's control.
He arrived at the small town the day after Xuanyuan Jian was captured by Xiao Feng.
And coincidentally, I also heard about what happened at that restaurant where Xuanyuan Jian had gone before.
Sun Yuanjie sensed the unique magical energy fluctuations of the Tianyi Sect at the entrance of the town, realizing that a disciple of the Tianyi Sect had been there, and thus entered the town to rest.
Sun Yuanjie had just arrived at the inn to rest when he happened to overhear people discussing a strange incident that had occurred at a nearby restaurant the previous day.
"Have you heard what happened at Wanhao Restaurant yesterday?"
"I heard that one of the cultivators is the young master of the Tianyi Sect."
“I was eating not far from those two tables of guests yesterday. That young master, what’s his name, Xuanyuan Jian, was shamelessly trying to buy other people’s things, but they wouldn’t sell them to him.”
"Isn't that right? I saw that young master named Xuanyuan Jian even tried to hit someone with a magic weapon, but the other party completely ignored him."
"I never expected that Tianyi Sect would have such a young master. Tianyi Sect is a major sect after all. This news is really embarrassing for their sect!"
Sun Yuanjie was originally having a meal in the lobby of the inn, intending to rest there for a while before trying to infiltrate the Ming Cult and find the disciples who had been to the secret realm before.
Unexpectedly, I heard the names of Tianyi Sect and Xuanyuan Jian here.
Sun Yuanjie immediately realized that the person who had appeared in the town earlier was none other than Xuan Yuanjian, whom he had immediately shaken off after leaving Tianyi Sect.
Sun Yuanjie immediately asked the guests behind him, "Is the young master you're talking about, Xuan Yuanjian, wearing a blue brocade robe? Is he holding a fan? And wearing very fancy decorations on his head? Is he from the Tianyi Sect?"
These guests assumed that Sun Yuanjie was also discussing this kind of gossip among cultivators with them, and immediately began to talk about it with great interest.
In just one day, the news of what happened in the restaurant had spread throughout the entire town.
It was as if everyone was a witness to the event, and everyone could describe the situation at the scene in great detail.
"Yes, yes, that idiot is just like you said. He insisted that one of those two young masters was some kind of high-level spirit beast, and he even tried to buy it with money. When the young master refused to sell, he got angry with him. It's absolutely laughable!"
Sun Yuanjie couldn't force a smile, so he could only give a few perfunctory replies. After quickly finishing his meal, he headed straight for the restaurant they had mentioned.
Sun Yuanjie needed to confirm whether the person who had come here was indeed Xuanyuan Jian.
Sun Yuanjie went to the restaurant and confirmed with the waiter about the person who had caused a scene yesterday, including their clothing, appearance, and manner of speaking.
At this point, Sun Yuanjie was completely heartbroken.
He now had only one thought: to find Xuanyuan Jian as soon as possible and stop him from smearing Tianyi Sect here.
He was able to sit in the position of the young master of Tianyi Sect only because his father was the sect master of Tianyi Sect! It wasn't because he was strong enough at all!
He actually dared to flaunt his status as the young master of the Tianyi Sect outside, and even dared to force others to sell their spirit beasts.
Even the Sect Master of Tianyi Sect wouldn't do something like this, so how dare Xuanyuan Jian?
"Fool! Fool! How could someone like the sect leader have such a stupid son? He'd better die out there and never come back!"
"All he does every day is tarnish the sect's reputation and cause trouble. This time, once I catch him, I will make sure the sect leader puts him in solitary confinement and makes him stay obediently in the Tianyi Sect, so he won't come out and ruin the Tianyi Sect's name again!"
Sun Yuanjie stormed off, sending countless telepathic messages to Xuan Yuanjian, but never received a reply.
Sun Yuanjie realized the problem only after he left the city and still couldn't contact Xuan Yuanjian.
Although there was a conflict between Xuanyuan Jian and him, Sun Yuanjie had sent him messages so many times in a row, so it was impossible for Xuanyuan Jian not to reply. Could it be that something happened to Xuanyuan Jian?
Sun Yuanjie carefully examined the telepathic message he had just sent out and found that he could not contact Xuan Yuanjian at all.
In this situation, Xuanyuan Jian's sound transmission jade was either destroyed by someone or it was in a barrier that prevents outsiders from transmitting sound into it!
Sun Yuanjie only realized he was panicking at this point.
He knew that if anything happened to Xuanyuan Jian, he would not be able to escape the blame.
After all, it was he who dumped Xuanyuan Jian first, which led to all the trouble that followed.
Sun Yuanjie didn't care about anything else. He quickly took out Xuan Yuanjian's things, poured in his magic power, and quickly identified the places Xuan Yuanjian had passed through.
Sensing the creature, Sun Yuanjie tracked it all the way to the place outside the city where they had fought the day before.
In the place where Xuanyuan Jian's aura was strongest, Sun Yuanjie saw the remnants of the trapping formation and some traces of cultivators' blood.
Fortunately, the bloodstains were not Xuanyuan Jian's.
But Xuanyuan Jian's last breath appeared here.
He seemed to have wandered in the mountains for a long time, and then his presence suddenly vanished.
There was nowhere to hide in the mountains and forests.
Sun Yuanjie searched the mountains and forests three times but found no formations or secret realms.
The only explanation for Xuanyuan Jian's sudden disappearance is that he was taken away by someone who put him into a space that can hold living creatures.
There is only one sect in this area, which is the Ming Cult that he is going to secretly infiltrate this time.
Sun Yuanjie turned back and inquired about the appearance of the person who had the conflict with Xuan Yuanjian.
Fortunately, the waiter had a good memory and mentioned a few places that impressed him.
Sun Yuanjie's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that Xuan Yuanjian, that good-for-nothing who was good for nothing, would find the man that the sect leader had asked him to find before him.
The fact that the man was accompanied by a high-level spirit beast might be a benefit he obtained in the secret realm.
Even the cultivators accompanying Xuanyuan Jian were no match for that spirit beast; Xuanyuan Jian must have fallen into that person's hands.
