Chapter 174 Fragments
While Ye Luo was half asleep, he seemed to hear someone calling him from outside, so he got up from the rock and went outside.
"Fourth Elder...you wanted to see me?"
"Um."
"Would you like to come in and have a seat?" Ye Luo was a little surprised that Ye Luo had come all this way without a reason. What could she possibly want?
"No need. I heard you obtained a fragment of jade in the secret realm. Show it to me."
Without hesitation, Ye Luo immediately took out the fragment, saying, "This is it."
She took the fragment and examined it carefully. "It is indeed similar..."
Ye Luo asked curiously, "Fourth Elder, what is this?"
"A malevolent creature."
She put the fragment away and looked at Ye Luo with a solemn expression, saying, "I will keep it for you for now. If you find similar fragments in the future, you must give them to me first."
"Huh? Oh..."
Although Ye Luo was somewhat unwilling, seeing her expression, she naturally dared not say anything more and could only watch her leave.
"Tsk, this jade is indeed mysterious. No wonder Bai Ruoqian was so determined to snatch it."
"But what's the point anyway..."
Tianfeng Sect.
The atmosphere inside the hall was oppressive.
Without the Grand Elder managing affairs, Fu Zhenghan was extremely busy as soon as he returned.
He looked at the people in front of the table and asked, "How's your investigation into the murder of the Grand Elder going these past few days?"
Everyone looked troubled, "We have absolutely no clue..."
Fu Zhenghan slammed his hand on the table. "Can't you find even a single clue?!"
"Yes, yes... We tried our best, but we just couldn't find any clues."
Bai Ruoqian stood outside the room, a smile playing on her lips, and turned to walk into the room.
She had just entered the room when she saw an unexpected guest. She nervously closed the door. "What brings you here?"
Lin Chen: "Give me the rest of the manual."
"Heh." Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoqian's face showed understanding. So they came to ask for the cultivation manual. "Why should I give it to you? Of all the things I entrusted to you, have you accomplished anything?"
"presumptuous!"
"Don't put on airs. You're not in a position to talk to me right now!"
Lin Chen's narrow eyes flashed with coldness, then he seemed to relent, "Fine, this time I will personally kill Ye Luo. You will have to hand over the cultivation technique then, otherwise..."
"Let's talk about it after we succeed."
At this moment, the voice of the Soul Guide rang in his mind, "Have him help get that piece of jade, otherwise Ye Luo cannot die."
Bai Ruoqian: "What exactly is the use of that jade?"
"If you can collect them all, they will unleash tremendous power. I will tell you more about this later. You must get your hands on them!"
Bai Ruoqian nodded and looked at him, saying, "Ye Luo has a fragment on him. You must help me get it."
After she finished speaking, she picked up her pen and drew the fragment, saying, "This is it."
"Oh?" Lin Chen narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly, but didn't ask any further questions. "Okay, I'll definitely help you get it."
After he left, Bai Ruoqian looked out the window and muttered softly, "I wonder if I can successfully kill Ye Luo this time. I really don't want to see him again in the final competition!"
Xin Hun Yin: "Don't worry, Ming Cang is the strongest in Peach Blossom Valley. He will definitely do his best for Xin Fa."
"I hope so."
For some reason, the repeated failures made Bai Ruoqian begin to have doubts, and she always felt that something strange was going to happen.
"During this time, find an excuse to go into seclusion. I need to refine the souls I hunted in the secret realm."
“Alright, that’s exactly what I was thinking too. I plan to go into seclusion for a while.”
Bai Ruoqian recalled that Ye Luo had also broken through to the Core Formation stage within the treasure realm, and a sense of crisis inexplicably welled up in her heart.
At his cultivation speed, it won't be long before his cultivation level surpasses hers. "Damn it!"
"Don't rush, I'll teach you another set of techniques that will guarantee your cultivation speed will double."
"Really!" Bai Ruoqian's face lit up with surprise. "Then let's go into seclusion tomorrow!"

In the border town.
A shout came from outside the courtyard, and Du Jiaoxi paced anxiously back and forth inside the house.
Suddenly a white figure flashed in, startling her so much that she immediately knelt down, "Greetings, Master!"
"Hmm, what exactly is the message about?"
"Master, your disciple has seen the spirit in the portrait!"
"Where did you see it!"
Du Jiaoxi: "It was within the Star Abyss Secret Realm that it went on a rampage, killing many disciples. Cen Feng also seemed to have fought with it."
"How could this be? The fragments were found there too... What a coincidence!"
Du Jiaoxi listened to her deep thought and whispered, and said, "Master, I have discovered a common point of suspicion."
"What?"
Du Jiaoxi: "It seems that every time it appears, Bai Ruoqian of the Tianfeng Sect is nearby. My intuition tells me that this matter is related to her."
"Bai Ruoqian?" She frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "You will remain at Qingyue Sect and be investigated to explain your situation."
"Yes!" Du Jiaoxi saw her get up to leave and hurriedly asked, "Master... can the curse mark on my body be removed...?"
Upon hearing this, her eyes flickered slightly. "Once everything is settled, I will resolve the issue for you."
Disappointment flashed across Du Jiaoxi's face. "Thank you so much, Master..."
After she left, Du Jiaoxi got up from the ground, slapped her cheeks, and thought that for her and Shi Yi's future, she had to pull herself together no matter what. "Let's finish the mission quickly!"
Seven days later.
Peach Blossom Valley.
Inside the main hall, Ming Cang convened a meeting of six people.
Ming Cang: "The Immortal Alliance has set the date for the finals. It will be held in Wangxian City in March. Take advantage of this period to improve your cultivation as much as possible."
"Huh? We have to wait another three months?" Yu Qianling said impatiently.
Nan Muyin smiled and said, "That's perfect. Xian'er is planning to try to condense her Nascent Soul, and I'll be going into seclusion with her."
"Huh? Second Senior Sister is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?" Yu Qianling exclaimed in astonishment. "How could it be so fast?!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xian'er blushed deeply, her fingers tightly gripping her sleeve, and she stammered, unable to speak.
Since the two first tasted the fruit of love, Nan Muyin has been pestering her to cultivate together almost every day, and her cultivation level has naturally increased exponentially, already showing signs of forming a Nascent Soul.
Seeing the smile on Nan Muyin's face, Ming Cang coughed lightly, "Alright, you will all come with me to the sect's secret realm later to see if it can be opened."
"We actually have a sect's secret realm?" Cen Feng asked, his face full of shock. "So all these years... I've been in a fake sect?"
"It seems that the sect's bloodline was depleted, and then it could no longer be opened." Ming Cang got up and walked out of the hall.
"Let's go take a look. If we can really open it, the treasures and other items collected by our ancestors can be used as resources for our sect."
Ye Luo walked behind, seemingly lost in thought, looking as if she had suddenly realized something.
No wonder.
He had said before, how could this poor sect produce so many villains?
It turns out that the sect has such a great hidden foundation.
Suddenly Ye Luo's expression hardened. Could it be that the reason why the various factions attacked Peach Blossom Valley in the original story had this reason?
"No way..."
"Junior brother, what are you muttering about? Hurry up and catch up!" Cen Feng turned around and waved.
"Oh, here it comes."
