After understanding that this Gu Jianfeng of Nine Heavens Universe had appeared in Nine Heavens Universe for a very, very long time …
Xie Tian suddenly suppressed the image of the rogue cultivator Gu Jianfeng that appeared in Unbounded Realm from his mind.
He could only lament that the name Gu Jianfeng was very popular, and would never think that these two people were the same person.
After understanding the evil nature of the external environment, the team's speed increased by quite a bit.
Because he was worried about encountering the Demons again, Xie Tian also temporarily made changes to the inexplicable feeling.
After the changes, the inexplicable feeling's finesse and range of detection had somewhat deteriorated. Fortunately, this did not affect his exploration of the Frog Path.
They constantly met separated soldiers, and after a short reunion, their team continued to move forward. The separated soldiers then followed the Frog Path route and the extremely meticulous marching method that Zhou Xi had given them, and headed towards the gathering place.
At this moment …
Outside of Scorching Sun Valley, traces of rustling grass appeared as well.
Because of the battle in Scorching Sun Valley, Nine Heavens Universe saw Scorching Sun Valley as the territory of the Demons, and for safety's sake, they took the initiative to give up the territory near Scorching Sun Valley …
But the strange movements of the Demons still attracted the attention of Nine Heavens Universe.
When they discovered that the strange movements of the Demons were pointing towards Scorching Sun Valley …
A discussion that had not reached a conclusion for three thousand years began among the major forces of Nine Heavens Universe.
Different from the soldiers in Scorching Sun Valley …
The outsiders' view of this battle was very different.
In the eyes of Liu Xiao and the others, this was a battle where as long as they persevered, they would win.
But the outsiders' view was that Scorching Sun Valley was only of little value, and although it was a pity to abandon it, it was even more tasteless to eat it.
Besides that …
The biggest reason that affected the outsiders' view was Le Feng's sudden disappearance hundreds of years ago.
Although at this moment, an extremely small portion of the upper echelons already understood that Le Feng's departure was related to the birth of the young master of the Lu Family …
But they would not say this out loud.
So most people's views changed because of Le Feng's sudden departure.
In other words …
Le Feng's departure doomed Scorching Sun Valley to failure, and their attitude of abandoning Scorching Sun Valley, so they had no reason to continue.
Furthermore —
In terms of humiliation, the Nine Heavens Universe's army had suffered a setback in the Scorching Sun Valley because of the dozen or so Demon Commanders that Le Feng had killed. Not only was there no need to continue dwelling on the matter of the Scorching Sun Valley, but they should instead give up.
A small portion of those who held different opinions were some small branches of the powers closely related to the soldiers in the Scorching Sun Valley.
In the battle of Scorching Sun Valley, the humans suffered a crushing defeat.
If all of them were dead, then there was nothing wrong with stopping.
The key was that a large portion of the soldiers, especially the elite soldiers' soul tablets, were still lying safe and sound in the places where their factions stored their soul tablets.
Since he wasn't dead, he naturally had to be saved. Yet, you said that you wouldn't save him? What were your intentions?
Therefore …
Just as Xie Tian had said, the humans in the outside world had discovered the unusual movements of the Demons in the Scorching Sun Valley, and they immediately fell into a discussion …
But every time a discussion turned into a quarrel, not only would the outcome of the discussion be left unsettled, but the process would also be as long and boring as a foot-binding cloth.
When the long quarrel spread to the South-Heaven Gate Primordial Immortal Sect's base and gave Elder Mu a headache...
Feng Po, who had gone out, had already returned.
He hadn't been able to see his master immediately, so the first thing he heard was news about Chu Mo.
As a matter of fact, when he stepped into the South-Heaven Gate, he had been hearing all kinds of discussions about Chu Mo. Everyone had a shocked expression on their faces …
When he entered the base and heard the most accurate news, he finally learned what shocking things Elder Ba's closed-door disciple, Chu Mo, had done while he was away.
"He passed the seventy-six trials in the Aptitude Trials?"
"Yes, Senior Brother …"
"How long?"
"More than a year …"
"Gasp!"
Feng Po sucked in a cold breath.
But before he could even finish inhaling, he hastily asked, "Where's Junior Martial Brother Xun Song?"
"Senior Brother, Young Master Xun Song has been cultivating in seclusion …"
"Phew!" Feng Po let out a long sigh. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where is Master now?"
"Elder Mu, he …"
As he spoke, he received news that Elder Mu had returned to the base. Feng Po quickly walked out of his cave abode and went straight to his master's cave abode.
He saw his master from afar and was shocked by the worried look on his master's face.
"Master, he …"
An hour later …
Elder Mu had just finished dealing with the affairs of the base. He looked at Feng Po with a tired expression.
"Feng Po, you're back …"
Feng Po's heart tightened when he heard his master's tired voice. He did not even greet him as he asked with concern, "Master, you …"
"I'm fine." Elder Mu forced a smile and asked, "What happened to the things I asked you to do?"
"In the end …" Feng Po hesitated as he recalled the hallucination of hearing Xie Tian's name from the three Heaven's Equal Elders. He said, "The three masters guarding the Buried Tablet Cliff seemed to know what Master meant and denied it."
"Denied it?" Elder Mu frowned. "Why do you say that they knew the truth?"
"Master …" Feng Po smiled bitterly. "Before I could state my purpose of coming, the three masters denied it in unison."
Hearing this, Elder Mu fell into deep thought.
But not long after, he thought of something and laughed at himself. "Looks like Master's reputation has spread far and wide. Haha … It's good that you're worthy of Master's efforts. Not bad, you've done well in this matter. Go and rest for a while. Perhaps you'll have something to do soon."
Feng Po was stunned. He understood what his master meant.
Elder Mu's attitude towards his disciples, especially towards his last disciple, Xun Song, was different from other masters.
It was precisely because of this that the three masters guarding the Buried Tablet Cliff were able to guess Elder Mu's intentions when they saw Feng Po after Elder Mu's letter. Then, they immediately denied it.
Thinking about this, the doubt hanging in Feng Po's heart suddenly disappeared.
"So, the three masters' denial was not because of the fact that someone destroyed the Buried Tablet Cliff. Instead, it was because … the person who destroyed the cliff would not be a threat to Junior Brother Xun Song …"
Just as he was thinking about this, Feng Po said, "Master, I'm not tired. If there's anything else I can do for you, please tell me."
"This matter is not urgent, and it can't be rushed." Elder Mu was very pleased with Feng Po's attitude. Even though he was tired, he could not help but say a few more words. "Wait until they finish quarreling and come to a conclusion. But don't be too relaxed during this time. There might be a big battle."
"Big battle?" Feng Po's heart jumped. "Where is it?"
"Burning Sun Valley."
Hearing this, Feng Po's expression changed. "How, how could it be Burning Sun Valley?"
Feng Po's unusual reaction made Elder Mu suddenly remember something that he had long forgotten, and it made him sigh incessantly.
"Sigh, speaking of which, your two scavengers also entered Burning Sun Valley. This is really …"
He wanted to say that they were courting death, but he didn't say it in the end. He only sighed and said, "This matter isn't something you and I can worry about. If my information is correct, the demon race is determined to clean up the Burning Sun Valley this time … Compared to these two scavengers, the soldiers who have lived for three thousand years inside are truly pitiful …"
When Feng Po walked out of Elder Mu's cave residence in a daze …
He saw Chu Mo, who was surrounded by people, calmly walk into the encampment.
And this calmness finally woke him up.
"Xie, Xie Tian …"
