Liu Yunqing did not recognize the person Mingyan Zhenjun, and even searching through the memories of his past life's soul, he could not find this person.
She didn't know if this person was related to what she knew, but if he was really involved with evil cultivators, then she was indeed a little interested.
"How do you know that True Monarch Mingyan died at the hands of evil cultivators?"
"Furthermore, why didn't you report such an important matter to the sect?"
Although the last question was phrased as a question, Liu Yunqing had a vague idea in his mind.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Si Youfeng frowned, staring intently at Liu Yunqing, and said in a very low voice:
"Because... I suspect that True Monarch Mingyan died at the hands of a senior member of the sect, so I dare not act rashly."
Not only did he dare not act rashly, but from the moment this matter occurred until now, Si Youfeng has not dared to let anyone know his suspicions about it.
Although she already knew the answer, Liu Yunqing was still somewhat surprised and puzzled.
It should be noted that in the Sun Realm, a Nascent Soul True Monarch is already considered a powerful figure. Even among first-rate sects, there are only a handful of Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Furthermore, within the sect, all disciples, whether inner disciples, outer disciples, or elites, will automatically become sect elders once their cultivation successfully breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Regardless of the differences between these Nascent Soul elders, even if someone is just an elder in name only, it means that they are a well-known figure in the sect.
The sudden death of a Nascent Soul elder within the sect, without any investigation, is itself quite strange.
Si Youfeng shook her head and said:
"It's not that no one investigated, but the sect's cause of death was that he went into a qi deviation during cultivation and was killed by the backlash of his inner demons."
Many cultivators have suffered from qi deviation and demonic possession during their cultivation, and many have died from the backlash.
The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the obstacles encountered by a cultivator with inner demons when advancing in their cultivation.
The explanation given by the Tai Xuanzong sect was indeed irrefutable.
Since Si Youfeng could say that, it was clear that the facts were not as they seemed, and that she must have some other evidence.
"So what do you know?"
Si Youfeng pursed her lips and remained silent, staring only at Liu Yunqing.
Liu Yunqing knew that the other party wanted to make a promise to her, but what could she promise?
She was just a Golden Core cultivator, and the burden she carried had long exceeded the capacity of her cultivation. Now she was carrying a mountain on her back, so how could she make any promises to others?
Unless the death of True Lord Mingyan was in cahoots with the group that betrayed the Sun Realm and attempted to destroy the Mother Tree.
Is that possible?
Where immortality can be cultivated, there are always evil cultivators, who can be considered parasites on a realm. But overthrowing a realm is not so easy.
Logically, that's how one should think, but when Liu Yunqing thought about the evil cultivators who had frequently appeared in recent years, he had a vague feeling that it wasn't impossible.
Even if evil cultivators are not players in this game, they are still pieces on the chessboard.
Liu Yunqing thought for a moment and said to Si Youfeng:
"If things are really as you suspect, it's indeed not easy to say."
"However, you don't need to worry too much. Since ancient times, which sect hasn't had some cancerous and parasitic members?"
"Take this first. If you encounter danger, it can help you hold off for a while. As for the possibility of evil cultivators within the Tai Xuan Sect, I will find a way to inform the sect leader without drawing attention to you."
Si Youfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Mingyan Zhenjun was the person who treated her best when she joined the Taixuan Sect. Although the two did not become disciples, Mingyan Zhenjun had already privately taught her cultivation techniques and guided her in her practice, making him no different from her master.
Si Youfeng really wanted to avenge Mingyan Zhenjun, but she also knew very well that as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, there was nothing she could do.
Even though the two had little interaction, it was a decision Si Youfeng made after much deliberation and consideration before telling Liu Yunqing about this matter.
Although Liu Yunqing was only at the Golden Core stage at this time, her Golden Core was different from others.
Liu Yunqing himself represents the attitude of a segment of the Sun Realm.
Si Youfeng was unaware of the specific details, but through what True Lord Mingyan left her, she still had a vague understanding of the situation.
Hearing Liu Yunqing's words, the matter that had been weighing on her mind and almost driving her to the brink of madness finally found an outlet.
"Thank you, Zhenru. I will keep an eye out for any unusual situations within the sect and let you know immediately if there are any problems."
Si Youfeng wasn't stupid; she naturally understood why the other party would be willing to concern themselves with matters concerning an old acquaintance with whom she had only a superficial relationship.
After the two had finished discussing their business, Liu Yunqing sensed a fluctuation of energy outside the formation. He raised his hand and removed the formation plate. The next moment, he heard a voice filled with surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Zhenru? You've also come to the Sunset Mountain Range for training? What a coincidence!"
As he spoke, one of the figures in the group took a few steps and stepped in front of Liu Yunqing.
Liu Yunqing was taken aback. Upon recognizing the person, he couldn't help but smile and bow with clasped hands in greeting:
"Fellow Daoist Mingxin, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon."
While returning the greeting, Master Mingxin said to Liu Yunqing with bright eyes:
"We came out to train with our fellow disciples. We originally planned to visit you in Luoxia City after this training, but we didn't expect to run into you earlier than planned. Why don't we train together?"
Liu Yunqing had completed his mission, but he was not in a hurry to return. He had planned to train in the Luoxia Mountains anyway, and now that Master Mingxin had taken the initiative to invite him, he couldn't help but be tempted.
However, after glancing at the people waiting not far away, Liu Yunqing shook his head and said:
"It is indeed my wish to train together with Fellow Daoist Mingxin. We can arrange to meet again next time."
Master Mingxin immediately waved his hand and said:
"I'm not going with them, let's form our own team."
Seeing Liu Yunqing hesitate, Master Mingxin continued to explain:
“Even if I don’t team up with you for training, I won’t team up with them either, so you don’t need to overthink it.”
"OK."
Liu Yunqing wasn't one to be pretentious. Since the other party had said so, she nodded in agreement, turned around and bid farewell to Si Youfeng, then chatted and laughed with Mingxin Zhenren as they headed deeper into the Luoxia Mountains.
Si Youfeng stood there, watching the two figures walk away with carefree abandon, her heart filled with envy.
She and Liu Yunqing entered the immortal sect at the same time. While she was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, he had already strode away and entered a circle unknown to her.
It seems that the most glorious time in her life was when she was a princess in a mortal royal family. Now that she has entered the world of cultivation, Si Youfeng has completely faded into obscurity.
However, it's still better than being an ordinary person.
Si Youfeng watched the two figures walk away into the distance, touched the storage bag that Liu Yunqing had given her earlier, and then turned around and left in another direction.
Feeling that the gaze behind them had disappeared, Liu Yunqing and Master Mingxin exchanged a glance, then relaxed and chatted as they continued on their way.
After saying a few words, Liu Yunqing suddenly spoke up:
"Fellow Daoist Mingxin, how do you usually deal with the discovery of heretical cultivators within your sect?"
