"Mission accomplished. Now it's up to Shi Tiankui." Elder Tian's sharp gaze swept over everyone present. Apart from him, they were all from the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect. These two sects have always had a close relationship, and it is highly likely that they will join forces to suppress the Nine Heavens Palace.
Therefore, Elder Tian did not act rashly, nor did he reveal what had just happened; he was merely speculating about who had done it.
That wisp of spiritual energy carried an evil aura, so Shi Chuande and his son Shi Changqing were ruled out first, because they possessed the bloodline of a true dragon, and this evil aura was incompatible with their cultivation methods. Among the remaining people, there were also Daoist Yangshan, Fairy Qingxiang, and Fairy Sumu. However, Fairy Qingxiang had been transferring the bloodline of a true phoenix to him, so it couldn't be her. That left only Daoist Yangshan and Fairy Sumu.
But regardless of which one of them it is, both sects are ultimately involved. They want him to transfer the True Phoenix bloodline, but they also want to leave him with hidden injuries to prevent future conflict. He needs to return to the Nine Heavens Palace as soon as possible.
Their Nine Heavens Palace must also prepare defenses as soon as possible. Although they have figured out that Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui are the saviors, they must not allow the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect to grow too powerful, otherwise the world will still be in danger.
The Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect were naturally surprised that Elder Tian refused to stay despite their sincere attempts to persuade him to. However, their current focus was on Shi Tiankui, and assisting her in fusing the True Phoenix bloodline as soon as possible was of paramount importance.
"They're out!" Shi Liuchuan exclaimed emotionally. "Why isn't my sister here?"
Xiao Ling controlled the green spirit bird to warn him to hide. Fortunately, Shi Liuchuan wasn't really stupid. He didn't go up to interrogate him, but instead concealed his presence and hid in the residence of the ordinary disciples.
The Divine Origin Sect is one of the three major sects in this world. Its territory spans thousands of kilometers of mountains, and its disciples are naturally countless. Therefore, with Shi Liuchuan's deliberate concealment, it is not easy for the people of the Divine Origin Sect to find him.
After completing the bloodline transfer, Shi Changqing and Fairy Su Mu arrested Shi Liuchuan on the grounds of violating sect rules. Shi Liuchuan's eyes were red: "Why are they arresting me? What harm have I done to them? Is my sister's disappearance related to them? Speak up! Why aren't you speaking? Didn't you say you would rescue my sister? Where is Shuangzhi now?"
Xiao Ling was heartbroken to see him like this, but she couldn't explain it to him, so she could only stay by his side in the body of the Green Spirit Bird.
"Do you want me to go to Jin Gui Po before you'll tell me?" Shi Liuchuan gritted his teeth. In just a few days, he had become skin and bones. In the cultivation world, it was not easy to starve a cultivator, which showed how much the physical and mental torment he had suffered during this period had affected him.
"Fine, I'll go. If you still won't tell me when I get there, I'll pluck your fur and eat your flesh."
Jingui Slope is located a hundred miles away from Shenyuan Sect. The spiritual energy here is scarce, and few cultivators come here. It is named after the golden osmanthus trees that cover the hillside. Only during the season when the golden osmanthus flowers bloom will some couples come here to play. Now is the season when the golden osmanthus flowers are in bloom, so there are quite a few cultivators visiting there.
Although there were many people, it made things easier for Shi Liuchuan, because he had never left the Shenyuan Sect before, so he didn't know how to get around. Given his current status, he couldn't ask anyone for directions, so he could only find his way by smelling the flowers.
Moreover, most of these cultivators who loved to travel were not highly skilled, which made it easier for him to sneak around and avoid being discovered.
However, when leaving the sect, Shi Liuchuan still used the precious Concealing Talisman. He had not yet found his sister and could not afford to have anything happen to her.
Because he had not been found, the Divine Origin Sect was under martial law. Shi Liuchuan thought it would take some effort for him to get out, but he did not expect the Concealing Talisman to be so useful that the people guarding the sect did not even notice his presence.
Thus, amidst his despair, Shi Liuchuan felt a glimmer of hope: perhaps his sister really had been saved?
But he couldn't understand why the people of Shenyuan Sect would capture his sister if she wasn't very talented, just like him.
What Shi Liuchuan didn't know was that right after he left the Divine Origin Sect, the place where he had been hiding was thoroughly investigated by the sect.
Xiao Ling remembered that in her previous life, Shi Liuchuan had been hiding in this way for nearly two months before he found an opportunity to leave the Shenyuan Sect. When he left the Shenyuan Sect, it was as if he had shed a layer of skin and changed his body.
Because Jin Guipo was not far from Shenyuan Sect, even though Shi Liuchuan's cultivation level was not high, he arrived in just two days. Then he found a place where the flowers were sparse and stared intently at the Green Spirit Bird.
"We've arrived at Jinguipo. Now you can tell me about my sister's existence."
Xiao Ling was extremely anxious because Song Xia had not yet woken up.
"You're lying to me?" Shi Liuchuan's voice was hoarse. He hadn't slept for several days, and his eyes were bloodshot. He then grabbed the Green Spirit Bird. "Although my cultivation is not high, I can still deal with a mere Green Spirit Bird. I'll ask you one last question: where is my sister, Shuangzhi?"
"Rukawa..." At the critical moment, Song Xia finally regained a sliver of consciousness, "I am your mother, Song Xia..."
She spoke extremely slowly, clearly lacking energy, but that one sentence was enough to leave Shi Liuchuan stunned, followed by fury: "You're lying! Who sent you to deceive me? What is your purpose in deceiving me?"
“Liuchuan, I really am your mother, but I only have a trace of soul power right now. Shuangzhi will be fine. I will explain to you later. First, take us away from here. Jinguipo is not absolutely safe either. Follow the Green Spirit Bird.”
After saying this, Song Xia fell into a deep sleep again, and no matter how Shi Liuchuan called out to her, it was no use.
He gritted his teeth and finally released his grip on the Green Spirit Bird. The Green Spirit Bird then shook its wings and flew at a speed that Shi Liuchuan could catch up with.
He didn't know how long he ran, but he finally cleaned himself up after leaving the territory of the Divine Origin Sect.
This is a desolate wilderness. Because there is little spiritual energy, there are few spiritual beasts and cultivators. You can only see hardworking mortals farming here. However, Shi Liuchuan was afraid of accidents, so he did not even show himself in front of the mortals.
The power of the Divine Origin Sect is too great; no one knows how many spies they have. He cannot allow anything to happen to himself or this green spirit bird that might know the inside story.
After being cleaned up, Shi Liuchuan regained his handsome appearance, but he was very thin and looked like a refugee who couldn't afford to eat.
He calculated that they had been traveling for half a month now. Based on what he had overheard from the disciples of the Divine Origin Sect and what he had read in the library, they should have already reached the south.
Legend has it that the South has experienced many great battles, resulting in a chaotic mixture of spiritual and malevolent energy, making it unsuitable for cultivators. Why bring him here? Will my sister be able to find him in the future? Or, when we go back to rescue her, will it be too late?
