"What?"
Hearing Yu Zhenyue's words, Zhang Wu Ji jumped up from his chair in fright.
"Sect Master Yu, are you joking? Are those people really that strong? "
Yu Zhenyue sighed faintly. "Absolutely. I've seen my Battle Heavens Sect's Great Ascension Stage Old Ancestor in action. His power was terrifying, but from what Brother Zhang said, those people are much stronger than my Battle Heavens Sect's Great Ascension Stage Old Ancestor."
Zhang Wu Ji paced back and forth in the hall with a solemn expression. He muttered, "What should I do? If those people don't let me go, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this calamity."
When Yu Zhenyue saw Zhang Wu Ji's expression, he sneered disdainfully. When he first met Zhang Wu Ji, he already knew Zhang Wu Ji's character. However, although Zhang Wu Ji was vicious and merciless, and was not liked by others, Zhang Wu Ji did have some ability.
The reason why Yu Zhenyue hadn't cut off contact with Zhang Wu Ji was because he might need his help in the future.
"Brother Zhang, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. You can stay in my Battle Heavens Sect. If those people come, I'll talk to them. After all, my Battle Heavens Sect isn't to be trifled with. If they don't want to start a war with my Battle Heavens Sect, I believe they'll give me some face and not make things difficult for Brother Zhang."
Zhang Wu Ji was a little flustered at this time, but after hearing Yu Zhenyue's words, he calmed down a little. Although Yu Zhenyue also had a certain goal, he could only go with the flow. Shenlang and the others gave him too much pressure. Without Yu Zhenyue's protection, how could he escape from Shenlang and the others' pursuit?
Just as Yu Zhenyue and Zhang Wu Ji were talking, a pillar of light suddenly shot up into the sky. Even from a distance, it could be seen clearly.
"What's going on? What's that pillar of light? "
Yu Zhenyue asked doubtfully when he saw the phenomenon when Shenlang opened the map through the window of the hall.
Zhang Wu Ji's expression changed slightly when he saw the pillar of light. In the entire Cultivation World, only he knew what that pillar of light represented.
"Could it be that someone has obtained the entire map of the Immortal Emperor's cave?"
Zhang Wuji had obtained a portion of the map of the Immortal Emperor's cave many years ago. Since it was related to the Immortal Emperor, Zhang Wuji didn't dare to publicize it. Instead, he suppressed the news and didn't spread it.
However, he only had half of the map, so he couldn't find the Immortal Emperor's cave mansion. During this time, he had sent out experts from the Everlasting Sect to search for the map, but no one had found it. In the end, he could only put it aside.
However, what he did not know was that the other half of the map of the Celestial Emperor's cave had already been found by the elder of the Wuji Sect, Gu Tianyou.
After Gu Tianyou found the map of the Celestial Emperor's cave abode, he did not hand it over to Zhang Wuji. Instead, he hid it for himself.
What kind of person was Zhang Wuji? Not all of his subordinates were good people. The Cultivation World was a place where good and bad people mixed together. There were devils and hypocrites everywhere.
Gu Tianyou was one of the insiders. After finding the other half of the map, he had been plotting against Zhang Wuji.
However, before his plan could succeed, he miserably encountered Shenlang. In the end, the map ended up in Shenlang's hands.
Shenlang also didn't know if the other half of the map was in the Everlasting Sect. Shenlang was just trying his luck. However, Shenlang hadn't expected the other half of the map to really be in the Everlasting Sect.
No one would give up on opportunities. If he could gather the map and find the Immortal Emperor's cave abode, Shenlang wouldn't give up. If he couldn't find the other half of the map, Shenlang wouldn't force it.
While Zhang Wuji was deep in thought, Yu Zhenyue, who had been paying attention to the pillar of light, saw Zhang Wuji's expression from the corner of his eye. He guessed that Zhang Wuji might know something.
Yu Zhenyue smiled faintly. "Brother Zhang, it looks like you know what that pillar of light is."
There was killing intent hidden in Yu Zhenyue's smiling eyes. If Zhang Wuji was sensible and told him what he knew, then he would forget about it. But if Zhang Wuji didn't, then he couldn't blame him for not caring about their friendship.
Zhang Wuji's expression changed. He had already guessed what Yu Zhenyue was thinking. In the end, he sighed and said, "Sect Master Yu, I do know a little about that pillar of light. When the Everlasting Sect was first established, I once obtained an opportunity and obtained half of the map.
"That half of the map had the words' Immortal Emperor's cave abode 'written on it. I originally thought that it was a great opportunity, but with only half of the map, I simply couldn't confirm the exact location of the Immortal Emperor's cave abode. For countless years, I never gave up looking for the map, but unfortunately, it was as if that half of the map didn't exist at all.
"I originally thought that it was just a dream, but I didn't expect that the map of the Immortal Emperor's cave abode had really been collected by someone."
Yu Zhenyue's expression lit up when he heard Zhang Wuji's words.
"Oh?"
"Brother Zhang, are you telling the truth?"
An Immortal Emperor's cave abode wasn't something ordinary. Even the Battle Heavens Sect couldn't sit idly by. If this information was confirmed to be true, then even a Tribulation Passing Ancestor might come out of seclusion.
Zhang Wuji said gravely, "Sect Master Yu, this is absolutely true. That half of the map is in my Everlasting Sect. Unfortunately, based on the situation just now, it seems that my half of the map has been taken by someone else."
Yu Zhenyue's expression became firm. "Brother Zhang, you can stay in my Battle Heavens Sect for now. I'll tell someone to bring you to rest. I have some matters to discuss with the Ancestors."
Yu Zhenyue had no intention of hiding anything. Who wouldn't be tempted by an Immortal Emperor's cave abode? Even if Yu Zhenyue pretended to be noble and virtuous, he would only be laughed at.
Zhang Wuji nodded and walked out of the hall with a Battle Heavens Sect disciple.
After Zhang Wuji left, Yu Zhenyue's figure flickered and he disappeared from the hall.
Zhang Wuji followed that disciple to a place to rest. He had a pensive expression. Only a few people knew about his half of the map. Those people had definitely been killed by Shen Lang's group. That meant that no one else knew about it.
The Immortal Emperor's cave abode had appeared so coincidentally. It had appeared when he had a conflict with Shen Lang. Shen Lang's group would definitely have chased him to the Everlasting Sect. Since the Everlasting Sect had already been destroyed and the map of the Immortal Emperor's cave abode had appeared, it was possible that the map had been obtained by Shen Lang's group.
As for whether Shen Lang's group already had the other half of the map, or whether they had obtained it recently, he didn't know.
