Lu Xuan and Zhao Ying quickly put on their clothes and went straight to the hall. Zhao Ying was already waiting there.
Seeing Zhao Ying, Lu Xuan could not help but ask, "Master, just what happened?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ying also shook her head, "It happened too suddenly, so I don't know for now. But I think someone has already gone to investigate. We just need to wait for news."
Lu Xuan had no choice but to suppress the questions in his heart and wait patiently. However, he was not worried at all. On the contrary, he was a little eager to try. He felt that the training had been a little boring during this period of time, and he had long wanted to go out and get some fresh air. He believed that it would not be too boring from now on.
After a while, Du Xiaomao also hurried back. After receiving Zhao Ying's message, she did not dare to tarry at all. Very soon, the four of them gathered in the Yunxuan Hall.
Du Xiaomao asked Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger about the news, but it was to no avail. Compared to Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger's calmness, Du Xiaomao was a little restless. Zhao Binger relied on her strength, while Lu Xuan was a restless person to begin with. On the other hand, Du Xiaomao was far inferior to the two of them.
After waiting for about an hour, Zhao Ying suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Let's go to the Divine Hall of Profound Ice to discuss matters."
With that, Zhao Ying stood up and walked towards the door. She must have already received the message.
Lu Xuan was secretly shocked. It had only been less than an hour, yet she had already found out about the news. The efficiency of the Profound Ice pavilion was indeed extraordinary. However, the Profound Ice pavilion must have many branches outside, so the news must have been directly sent back by outsiders.
It was already late at night, but the Divine Hall of Profound Ice was brightly lit, appearing extremely conspicuous in the dark. When Lu Xuan's group arrived, quite a few people were already there. Nangong Shuo and Su Chuanan were sitting on high chairs, resting with their eyes closed.
Other than the previous personal disciples battle, it was very rare for everyone to be here. All the elders had brought along their own disciples. When such a huge matter happened, personal disciples would never be able to stay out of it.
Lu Xuan kept an eye on the door, and soon found that Chen Xiaohan had arrived with Elder Xing. Chen Xiaohan had just become Elder Xing's disciple, and she had already encountered such a major incident.
Very quickly, Chen Xiaohan also found Lu Xuan, who was standing behind Zhao Ying. She gave Lu Xuan a sweet smile and obediently stood behind Elder Xing. This was the first time she came to the Mysterious Ice Pavilion's Conference Hall. In front of so many powerful elders, Chen Xiaohan was a little reserved and did not dare to be the slightest bit presumptuous.
Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Nangong Shuo finally opened his half-closed eyes. With a soft cough, the large hall instantly became incomparably quiet. Although he had just lost to Su Chuanan, it clearly did not harm Nangong Shuo's foundation.
Su Chuanan glanced at Nangong Shuo with slight dissatisfaction. This time, Nangong Shuo was the one who had told everyone to gather. Even he, one of the three elders, had no idea what was going on. Right now, he could only wait with everyone else for Nangong Shuo to speak.
"I believe everyone has already sensed the disturbance caused by the trembling of the spirit vein," Nangong Shuo said with a deep voice.
"Grand elder, just what happened? Ever since I entered the Profound Ice Pavilion, the spirit vein has only trembled twice. Has a new spirit vein appeared?" Wei Zhengyang clasped his hands at Nangong Shuo. He was also a veteran of the Profound Ice Pavilion, but even he had only experienced the trembling of the spirit vein once. It was clear that this was not normal.
Nangong Shuo gently stroked his beard and said, "I called everyone here because I received the Pavilion Master's order. As for the specifics, I don't know either. Everyone, please calm down. The Pavilion Master will be here soon."
Hearing this, Su Chuanan could not help but roll his eyes. After all this time, it turned out that Nangong Shuo was also putting on an act and did not know anything.
Wei Zhengyang could not help but feel a little awkward. Originally, he wanted to show off Nangong Shuo's authority, but he did not expect that even he did not know.
Lu Xuan, on the other hand, was slightly interested. He did not expect that he would be able to meet the Pavilion Master of the Profound Ice Pavilion. This was the first time he had met the Pavilion Master. Even the Pavilion Master who had personally fought with the Pavilion Master did not appear. It seemed that this matter was indeed not ordinary. It seemed that the Pavilion Masters of these sects were all very mysterious. Back in the Wind Sword School, if it was not for the war between the Wind Sword School and the Nine Star Sword School, he might not have been able to meet Xie Zhixiu.
The elders and disciples could not help but pay full attention when they heard that the Pavilion Master was coming. No matter how great Nangong Shuo's influence was, he was still only a grand elder. The Pavilion Master was still the highest authority.
Around half an hour later, Lu Xuan felt the door of the Profound Ice Divine Hall open quietly. A gust of wind blew past, but when Lu Xuan turned around, he did not see anyone. However, he heard a clear voice ring out from behind him.
"Elders, disciples, it's been a long time. How are you all?"
Lu Xuan was shocked. He hurriedly turned around and saw that a white-clothed, middle-aged man had already sat on the only throne at the highest point. If he guessed correctly, he was the mysterious Pavilion Master of the Profound Ice Pavilion. However, what confused Lu Xuan was that he had clearly been paying attention to the door the entire time. Other than feeling a gust of wind, he did not see anyone at all. How did the Pavilion Master get here?
Lu Xuan was not the only one who was shocked. Even many elders could not react in time. They hurriedly turned around and greeted the Pavilion Master.
After greeting the Pavilion Master, Nangong Shuo looked at the Pavilion Master and chuckled, "Congratulations, Pavilion Master. Looks like the Pavilion Master has made another breakthrough in the Way of Space. Reaching the Virtualized Realm is just around the corner!"
Hearing this, Lu Xuan finally understood. It turned out that the master of the Dark Ice Pavilion was an expert in the Dao of Space. No wonder her whereabouts were so mysterious. Could it be that this was the legendary teleportation technique, shrinking the ground into an inch?
The white-clothed, middle-aged man laughed lightly, "Just a little. I am still quite a distance away from the Virtualized Realm."
He then swept his gaze across the crowd and looked at Zhao Bing`er. He revealed a smile, "Bing`er, I didn't expect you to have broken through to the second level of the Origin Realm after not seeing you for so long. Looks like you have not slacked off on your cultivation."
Zhao Bing`er slightly lowered her head and bowed, "Thank you for the Pavilion Master's concern. Master has taught me well."
"Haha, there is no need to doubt Xiao Ying's strength. She is more than qualified to be my Pavilion Master." The Pavilion Master laughed heartily. His tone towards Zhao Ying was extremely polite. Zhao Ying was the daughter of the previous Pavilion Master. His attitude towards Zhao Ying was naturally not bad. But more importantly, in the entire Profound Ice Pavilion, other than Zhao Bing`er, he was the only one who knew Zhao Ying's true identity. As the love of the fifth-grade sect, Jiuhua Alliance's Alliance Leader, Ye Wuheng, he did not dare to offend her.
Pausing for a moment, the Mysterious Ice Pavilion Master then said, "I saw many unfamiliar faces just now. It seems like the Mysterious Ice Pavilion has been developing while I wasn't here. There are many new direct disciples. This is a cause for celebration. However, you might not know this irresponsible Pavilion Master yet. My surname is Wen, and my name is Zhiyuan. If you see me in the future, don't not recognize me."
Many of the direct disciples couldn't help but smile. They didn't expect this mysterious Sect Leader to be so amiable and humorous. He wasn't like Nangong Shuo, who was a rigid person.
Looking at Wen Zhiyuan, Lu Xuan couldn't help but transmit a message to Zhao Bing`er, "Didn't they say that the Pavilion Master is getting old and is about to die? Why do I feel like he's only around 40 years old? "
Zhao Bing`er replied in a low voice, "A cultivator's age can't be judged on the surface. This is because the Pavilion Master has enough strength to support him. If he can't break through before his death, he will immediately age. His actual age is actually even older than Nangong Shuo."
Lu Xuan suddenly understood and couldn't help but laugh. Zhao Bing`er couldn't help but look at him and ask, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at the fact that when I first saw you, I saw that you were strong and thought you were an old witch."
Zhao Bing`er glared at Lu Xuan and used one hand to pinch Lu Xuan's waist. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're the old witch."
While the two of them were teasing each other, Su Chuanan finally found a chance to speak. He asked first, "May I ask, Pavilion Master, what happened when the Spirit Vein shook?"
When he asked the crucial question, everyone became silent and listened attentively.
Wen Zhiyuan smiled faintly. "Don't be nervous. It's not a bad thing, but it's hard to say if it's a good thing or not."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "The Jiuhua Alliance has found out why the Spirit Vein shook. It's because of the cave of an ancient powerhouse near Stone City. It's an unexplored cave!"
An ancient powerhouse's cave had appeared!
It wasn't just the disciples who heard this news. Even the elders' eyes lit up. An ancient powerhouse's cave represented endless opportunities and abundant resources. Some of the treasures were even coveted by Virtualized Realm existences. In the past, when an ancient powerhouse's cave appeared, it would often contain many long-lost cultivation methods, martial skills, rare materials, and powerful weapons. No one wouldn't be envious.
It was said that the Heavenly Sword Continent had once suffered a devastating blow, resulting in the deaths of a large number of experts. Countless cultivation techniques and martial skills had been lost. The reason why the Heavenly Sword Continent was able to recover to its current state was largely due to the cave residences of the ancient martial arts experts that had been left behind.
If they could get their hands on the treasures, it would be a great opportunity for both the individual and the sect!
Nangong Shuo calmed down a little. He didn't lose his head because of this. He continued to ask, "Pavilion Master, will the Jiuhua Alliance interfere?"
Nangong Shuo's words were like a bucket of cold water splashed over everyone's heads. Yes, they still had the Jiuhua Alliance, a fifth-rank sect. If the Jiuhua Alliance was interested, they wouldn't have a share.
