The old man stared intently at the background of the scene before Hu Xuan's death.
This doesn't look like it's inside the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Did that stupid woman Hu Xuan go somewhere else?
This scene looks a bit like a secret realm.
Could it be that after discovering Hu Xuan's true identity, the Heavenly Demon Sect Master deliberately lured her to the secret realm and cruelly murdered her?
But soon, the old man realized that he had overestimated the Heavenly Demon Sect Master's intelligence.
The one who killed Hu Xuan was not the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, but a young man.
The image freezes on the moment Xiao Feng's face appears.
In the old man's eyes, Xiao Feng's face was not a mask he had conjured, but Xiao Feng's original appearance.
The old man's resentment grew stronger and stronger. He had originally planned to find out who had ruined his plans and then deal with that person.
But when Xiao Feng's face appeared in the fragment of the image, the old man's eyes widened in surprise. After examining it carefully, he suddenly burst into laughter.
His sinister laughter echoed throughout the entire room.
He never expected that the person with great fortune he had been searching for for so many years would appear at this moment.
And this person just happened to kill one of his pawns.
“Back then, it was said that a person with great fortune would stop my plan. I never expected that after so many years, this person would finally appear, and he even killed one of my more important pawns.”
"It seems this person is my nemesis. However, if I can possess his body or seize his fortune, I will definitely be able to break through this final shackle. At that time, no one in this world will be my opponent!"
"Then I will be able to reach that supreme realm and live forever and ever, without ever growing old! No one in this world will be able to stop me!"
The old man's face twisted as he spoke, making him look particularly terrifying.
The spirit lamps in front of the other memorial tablets seemed to sense the old man's emotional fluctuations, and the flames inside began to flicker, looking as if they were about to go out at any moment.
The old man forced himself to calm down, then formed a hand seal, and countless gray light spots fell into the soul lamps that had not yet been extinguished.
It seems as if new shackles have been placed on them.
With just a fragment of a scene, the old man had no way of knowing the identity of the person with great fortune who killed Hu Xuan.
So he froze this part of the scene and then transmitted it to his eldest disciple.
He ordered his eldest disciple to investigate who the person in the fragment of the image was and how Hu Xuan died.
"Remember, when investigating this matter, don't let anyone know who you are. Also, try to find out if anything has happened at the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"The Heavenly Demon Sect Master has always doted on Hu Xuan. It is impossible for the Heavenly Demon Sect Master to remain indifferent now that Hu Xuan has died at the hands of others."
"If anything unusual happens, remember to report it immediately. It would be best to bring that young man here; he'll be of great use to me!"
The old man's eldest disciple immediately responded after receiving the old man's telepathic message.
“Master, you have been in seclusion for a long time. Now that you have awakened, we don’t know when you will emerge from seclusion. The sect is waiting for you to take charge.”
Upon receiving a message from his eldest disciple, the old man spoke indifferently: "The time is not yet ripe. When the time comes, I will naturally emerge from seclusion. You don't need to worry too much about the sect's affairs. With the other elders looking after it, there won't be any problems."
The eldest disciple didn't say anything more and immediately left Tianyi Sect to carry out the task assigned by his master.
The old man was none other than the sect leader of Tianyi Sect, one of the major sects today.
If it weren't for the fact that he was at a crucial stage in his cultivation, he wouldn't have entrusted such an important task to a disciple.
Although the eldest disciple was always meticulous and had found many suitable candidates for himself.
But this time, the person with great fortune seems to be quite powerful.
The old man worried that his eldest disciple was no match for him.
However, the eldest disciple also had the ability to escape.
If that person with great fortune is truly that powerful, his plan will proceed much more smoothly.
...
Xiao Feng and his companions were completely unaware of all that was happening within the Tianyi Sect.
At this time, Xiao Feng and his companions also encountered trouble.
Didn't we say before that Taotie was leading them around in search of treasure?
Taotie does know a lot of treasures, but there are some places that Taotie has only heard about from cultivators who have come to the secret realm; he himself has never been there.
Because some things are not very useful to Taotie, he has never been to those places.
This led to the fact that Taotie was unaware that some treasure locations also contained traps.
For example, right now, these few people wanted to pick fruit from the tree, but they never expected that there would be an ancient formation here. These unlucky guys were directly trapped here by the ancient formation.
Xiao Feng: "Taowu, are you deliberately setting us up? You brought us here with the Dragon Blood Fruit, and now you're telling me you didn't know there was a formation here? We're all in this together. If something happens to us, do you think you'll survive?"
Xiao Feng and his companions attempted to break the formation.
After trying for a quarter of an hour without any effect, Xiao Feng finally lost his temper and lashed out at Taotie.
Taotie said with a wronged expression, "How was I supposed to know there was a formation next to the Dragon Blood Fruit? I had only heard that there was a Dragon Blood Fruit tree here, but I had never been here myself."
"Besides, it was you who wanted to come here. I warned you beforehand. You were careless, so are you going to blame me?"
Upon hearing Taotie's words of shirking responsibility, Xiao Feng was immediately enraged.
He simply couldn't believe that Taotie didn't know!
Near any such rare and precious material, there is either a guardian spirit beast or a protective formation.
Taotie kept saying that he had only heard from others that there were dragon blood fruit trees here.
But just now he clearly gave me precise directions, saying that there was a dragon blood fruit tree growing here.
How could he know so much if he had never been to this place before!
Moreover, having survived in the secret realm for so many years, there is probably no place in the entire secret realm that he is unaware of.
"Looks like you're itching for a beating. I need to loosen up your muscles!" Xiao Feng immediately cracked his knuckles, preparing to give Taotie a good beating.
Taotie pleaded frantically, "I really didn't know there was a formation here! Okay, I admit I've been here before, but I was just passing through. The Dragon Blood Fruit Tree has no effect on me, so I didn't get close. Of course, I didn't know there was a formation here!"
Taotie's explanation was barely reasonable. Xiao Feng raised his fist at him and then said irritably, "Go and see if you know how to break this formation!"
Taotie: "I am an ancient ferocious beast, and I don't understand formations. How would I know how to break this? This was set up by you humans, so you should understand it better!"
