Chen Nanfeng nodded slightly and said, "No matter what, the harvest this time is really beyond my expectations. Although we lost Elder Shen on this trip, for the Tianyi Palace, the gains still outweigh the losses!"
In fact, some cultivation resources were not bad for Chen Nanfeng. Although the cultivation environment on Earth continued to deteriorate, the Tianyi Palace was a big organization, and Chen Nanfeng was not particularly short of cultivation resources. However, among the gains brought back by Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou, there was also the precious Huang Yujing, which was of great help to Chen Nanfeng. In addition, Chen Xuan had obtained a cultivation method that was also very precious. Chen Nanfeng briefly flipped through it and found that it was of great help to him. Just these two things alone were crucial for him to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
This time, the most important purpose of the Tianyi Palace sending elite forces to the moon was to find an opportunity for Chen Nanfeng to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Once Chen Nanfeng became a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the Tianyi Palace would surpass the top sects and become a transcendent existence.
In comparison, losing an elder in the middle stage of the Gold Core stage was not unacceptable.
For Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou, all the gains would definitely be provided to Chen Nanfeng first. There was nothing to say about this, and they would not have any objections. Moreover, if Chen Nanfeng could really break through to the Nascent Soul stage, it would be of great benefit to them, and the sect would also reward them handsomely.
This was especially true for Xu Yurou. Originally, she was not particularly outstanding among the disciples in the Qi Refining stage. This time, she just happened to pass the music selection. Under Xia Ruofei's suggestion, the Tianyi Palace had an extra quota, so she was able to follow the team to the Mystic Luna Realm. Now that she had returned safely and brought back the things that the sect leader needed, her status in the sect had naturally risen by a lot, and her future had become very bright.
Chen Nanfeng put away the Huang Yujing and the cultivation method with satisfaction, and left some of the remaining cultivation resources to Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou.
Then, Chen Nanfeng said calmly, "Let's talk about Elder Shen! What do you think about this matter? "
Although Chen Xuan, Xia Ruofei, and the others had described the situation in the Training Tower in detail, Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou had not experienced it personally, especially during the time when everyone was teleported outside the Training Tower. Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou were at the scene could have noticed some details. Perhaps they could have found some clues, so Chen did not rashly express his opinion. Instead, he directly asked Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou to ask Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou.
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Father, from the moment we entered the secret realm, we never saw Elder Shen again. It wasn't until we left the secret realm that we learned that Elder Shen and Elder Mu had both died in the Training Tower, so we can't find out the specific details … However, according to my analysis, Elder Shen and Elder Mu's deaths should not have been caused by human factors … After all, everyone was teleported to different small spaces and did not even have the chance to meet …"
Chen Xuan knew that what Chen Nanfeng was most concerned about was whether Shen Tianfang's death was related to the other members of the exploration team. If someone had really killed Shen Tianfang, the Tianyi Palace would naturally not let it go.
Chen Nanfeng nodded gently and turned his gaze to Xu Yurou. He said, "Yurou, tell us about it too!"
Xu Yurou hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but stopping on second thought.
Chen Nanfeng frowned slightly and said, "Just say whatever comes to your mind, especially if you find anything suspicious. Just say it directly and let's analyze it together. Don't worry about anything."
Xu Yurou hurriedly said, "Yes! Sect Leader … I think that we can't completely rule out the possibility of human factors. Although we were all teleported to different small spaces to complete the task, we don't know if the others were the same. After all, they said it themselves. "
Chen Xuan frowned and said, "Yurou, what do you mean? Are you saying that someone might have lied? "
Xu Yurou pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, but if the challengers could have been teleported to the same small space, then the deaths of Elder Shen and Elder Mu can't be completely ruled out."
Speaking of this, Xu Yurou hesitated for a moment and continued, "Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue both reached the eighth floor. I think it's too much of a coincidence. With Ling Qingxue's strength, it should be quite difficult for her to reach the eighth floor directly. Could it be … that she had been going through the levels with Xia Ruofei? I noticed a detail. When Xia Ruofei left the Tower of Trials, Ling Qingxue didn't rush to ask Xia Ruofei about his progress. It was as if she already knew about Xia Ruofei's results. This doesn't seem to make sense, right? If my previous hypothesis is correct, then theoretically, Elder Shen could have been teleported to the same space as the others! "
It had to be said that Xu Yurou's observation was very detailed. Perhaps women's thoughts were more meticulous. The details that she noticed were things that Chen Xuan didn't notice. Moreover, it was quite close to the truth.
Hearing this, Chen Nanfeng's eyes lit up and he fell into deep thought.
Chen Xuan, on the other hand, was silent for a moment before he said, "Yurou's words are too speculative. Ling Qingxue and Xia Ruofei are dao companions. She was more concerned about Xia Ruofei's safety and didn't pay attention to Xia Ruofei's results. This is very logical. Moreover, if you carefully study the Tower of Trials, you will know that the Tower of Trials' missions are very intricate. The higher the cultivation, the higher the success rate. Ling Qingxue being able to reach the eighth floor can only mean that her abilities are more comprehensive. It can't prove that Xia Ruofei was the one who brought her through. "
At this point, Chen Xuan paused for a moment and continued, "Most importantly, with Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue's abilities, even if they were teleported to the same space as Elder Shen, they wouldn't be able to kill Elder Shen. If there was a conflict between the two parties, the ones who would die would definitely be Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue, and not Elder Shen!"
After listening to Chen Xuan's analysis, Chen Nanfeng nodded slightly and said, "Xuan 'er's words make some sense. However, we can't rule out the possibility that Yurou mentioned. In theory, if Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue were teleported to the same space, then Elder Shen could be teleported to the same space as the others. This wouldn't necessarily be Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue. What if it was Yang Liu? Under such circumstances, it's possible that Elder Shen was caught off guard and was ambushed. Perhaps he was teleported to the same space as Muhua from the Surging Waves Sect. Due to some reason, the two of them got into a conflict and ended up perishing together. This is all possible. "
Chen Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Father, these can only be guesses. We might never get an answer. Unless... "
"Unless we interrogate Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue with torture," said Chen Nanfeng. "If we can find out whether they were teleported to the same space, then we might be able to find new clues..."
After Chen Nanfeng finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "Xia Ruofei, this young man, gives me a very mysterious feeling. If it's not necessary, I don't want to be enemies with him... Forget it, let's end this matter here! Even if we find some clues, can we really use the sect's power to avenge Elder Shen? "
Although Shen Tianfang's position in the First Heaven Sect was important, he was already dead. To fight over a dead person, and even risk the sect's strength being severely damaged to avenge him, in Chen Nanfeng's opinion, the gains did not make up for the losses. It was completely unnecessary.
Of course, if it was clear that Shen Tianfang had been assassinated, then even if the losses were great, they would still have to take action when it was time to do so. The dignity of the number one sect in the cultivation world was still necessary. Moreover, if they were still cowards under such circumstances, the hearts of the people in the sect would also be divided. A sect without unity would not be able to go far.
But now that Shen Tianfang had died in the mystic realm, and according to everyone, there was no man-made factor at all, Chen Nanfeng naturally chose to go with the flow.
Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou both nodded. They could also guess that Chen Nanfeng would most likely make this decision.
Chen Nanfeng continued, "But we still have to investigate what should be investigated. We can secretly pay attention to those who returned safely this time, except for Xuan 'er and Yurou, everyone else is suspicious. We have to pay attention to the situation of these people. Maybe we can find some clues... I have a feeling that Elder Shen's death is not simple."
"I understand, Father." Chen Xuan said, "After returning to the sect, I will arrange for someone to be responsible for looking for clues."
Chen Nanfeng nodded and said, "That's all for now! It's getting late, you all should go and rest! "
In addition to Chen Nanfeng's villa, a similar scene was playing out in the villa where Liu Mansha and Mu Sheng lived.
Of course, Soaring Flower Valley did not lose any members, so Liu Mansha was not too concerned about the cause of Shen Tianfang's and Muhua's deaths. She simply asked for some details, focusing on the harvest of this trip.
As for Mu Sheng, he learned the whole story from Mu Jianfei in detail. Of course, they also had no clue about Muhua's death.
Fortunately, everyone had gained a lot from this trip, and Liu Mansha and Mu Sheng were also quite satisfied.
...
The Obsidian Flying Ship flew at high speed in the night sky.
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue stood on the deck of the flying ship. Ling Qingxue looked at the black night sky and asked, "Ruofei, the Tianyi Palace won't send people to follow us, right?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Even if Chen Nanfeng has doubts, he won't make it so obvious! What's more, with the speed of the Obsidian Flying Ship, we can't keep up with them! "
"We must keep our mouths shut about the fact that we went through the trials together!" Ling Qingxue said, "Both sects have lost Elders. If they know that we can teleport to the same space, they will definitely suspect us!"
Xia Ruofei said, "In fact, we can't rule out that the two of them really died in the mission of the Tower of Trials or were killed by someone else. In theory, if we can teleport to the same space, it's also possible for others to do the same. However, only Yangliu and Muhua have the strength to kill Shen Tianfang. And unless Shen Tianfang was injured at the time, the one who died must be Shen Tianfang's opponent. "
Ling Qingxue nodded in agreement and said, "So it's best to stop here. If we say that cultivators can be teleported to the same space, things will become very complicated, and it's very likely that we'll get into trouble. Ruofei, you must remember, don't let it slip. "
Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "I know! It's better to avoid trouble! However, if there really is trouble, we won't be afraid of it. Whoever dares to provoke us will have to be prepared to lose a layer of skin! "
With Xia Ruofei's current strength, he really had the confidence. Even if the Tianyi Sect attacked with the full force of their sect, Xia Ruofei was confident that he could seriously injure them.
If it was a one-on-one battle, even if he had to fight against Chen Nanfeng, with the Golden Soft Armor and the spiritual power of the Spirit Transformation Realm, Xia Ruofei was confident that he could at least escape unscathed.
Ling Qingxue nodded and asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Let's go to the capital first! We'll pick up Weiwei and go directly to the Peach Blossom Island. " Xia Ruofei said, "I haven't been to the Peach Blossom Island for more than two months. I don't know how it is over there now."
"Okay! I haven't seen Weiwei for so long. I also miss her! "Ling Qingxue said," She must be worried about us every day! Ruofei, if there is a town below, let's descend the flying boat first. I'll send a WeChat message to Weiwei and tell her to come out and wait for us! "
There was basically no signal in the sky, so if they wanted to send a WeChat message, they would have to descend and it would be best to descend to a town. The signal might not be as good in the wilderness.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "No problem! There is a small town ahead. I'll descend the flying boat first! "
Soon, the Obsidian Flying Boat began to slow down and slowly descended. It hovered over a wasteland outside the town, about a dozen meters above the ground.
After the formation was opened, ordinary people couldn't see the Obsidian Flying Boat at all, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered by the people in the town at such a low altitude.
Ling Qingxue took out her phone and directly called Song Wei on WeChat.
Although it was already late at night, Song Wei, as a cultivator, would wake up quickly at the slightest movement. Therefore, when she opened her eyes and saw that the call was from Ling Qingxue, she hurriedly stood up and picked up the phone.
Song Wei was staying in the school dormitory tonight. The graduate student dormitory was a two-person dormitory, but her roommate and boyfriend went out to play and didn't come back to the dormitory tonight, so she didn't have to worry about being overheard by her roommate.
"Qingxue! You're back? "Song Wei asked excitedly.
Ling Qingxue giggled and said, "Yes, Weiwei! We just came back. As soon as we landed, we called you. We were afraid that you would be worried! "
Song Wei was indeed very worried these days. After all, Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue had gone to the moon, which was hundreds of thousands of miles away! The universe was full of all kinds of unknown dangers, and there was also a barren moon. It was scary just thinking about it.
The two had been gone for more than two months. Song Wei couldn't pass the music selection at all, so he could only wait anxiously on Earth. This feeling was naturally quite tormenting.
"It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back! " Song Wei murmured with tears of excitement in his eyes. "Qingxue, it's good that you and he are safe. I've been worried about you every day for more than two months!"
