"This should be Harvest Valley City! It's located right next to the river, and the weather is like spring all year round. The crops are plentiful, and it's the place with the most resources within a radius of several hundred thousand kilometers. Most of the resources of the Sanctum of Sages originate from here! "
Soon, Zhang Xuan confirmed the location.
Back in the Sanctum of Sages, Zhang Xuan had browsed through quite a few geography books, so he knew that the Sanctum of Sages wasn't too far away from the Sanctum of Sages in the first place.
"It's impossible for me to find him just like that. Why don't I use the Library of Heaven's Path to determine his location?"
After looking around for a while, Zhang Xuan knew that he wouldn't be able to find anything if he were to wander around aimlessly. Thus, he flicked his wrist and took out a blank book. He drew out the surrounding streets and wrote 'Sage Kui's statue is here'.
The library shook, but no books appeared.
"What's going on? It failed again? "Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
What's going on with the library recently?
Could it be that he really needed to level up?
It had been with him for more than a year, and it was an old piece of equipment that couldn't be damaged.
Under normal circumstances, the Library of Heaven's Path wouldn't fail unless … the place where the skeletal frame was hidden borrowed some sort of unique power to conceal it from the heavens …
Just as Zhang Xuan was deep in thought, his heart suddenly jolted.
Most likely, Lozosy had the Discarnate Constitution of Divination, just like him. As for the ones that Wu Chen and Bai Xi Shan had seen, they had used some kind of special means to conceal their movements, such that not only were they invisible to the Eye of Insight, even seers were unable to peer into them …
Given that the Library of Heaven's Path was unable to locate Sage Kui's sculpture, could it be the same as Sage Kui's sculpture, that it wasn't concealed by a formation, but that someone had used some special means to conceal it from the heavens?
"If that's the case, there is only one possibility …"
A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes as he scanned the surroundings. Walking up to a cultivator, he clasped his fist and bowed deeply, "Brother, may I know where the Seer Guild of our Harvest Valley City is located?"
"The Seer Guild? It's over there, less than two kilometers away. The building that looks like a tortoise shell! "
It was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was very straightforward.
"Thank you …"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly nodded. He beckoned for Zhang Xuan to follow the direction Zhang Xuan was pointing at.
"You suspect that … a seer has concealed Sage Kui's sculpture from the heavens?" Lozosy asked.
"It's possible to hide in a special formation to prevent the tracking of a seer, but it wouldn't be able to stop the divination of a seer … Unless someone has tampered with the heavens or used some kind of special means to fool the seers!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"That's right!" Lozosy suddenly understood.
While there were not many experts in the Sanctum of Sages at the moment, it was still not too difficult to find one or two seers who were close to reaching Nine Stars or even half a step into Nine Stars.
If Xiao Chen allowed it to deduce the whereabouts of the statue, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that it would be able to determine its location.
There was only one way to make it impossible for him to find it … to deceive the heavens!
Most likely, there was only one organization in the entire city that was capable of such a feat … the Seer Guild!
After confirming the location, it did not take long for them to see a tortoiseshell-shaped building before them. There were all kinds of inscriptions on the surface of the building, concealing some kind of unique energy that made it difficult for even Spiritual Perception to peer into it.
"We'll know whether it's here or not once we enter!"
Zhang Xuan nodded before walking up to the entrance of the building.
A young man stepped forward and blocked the duo's path. "Halt! The Seer Guild only receives seers, not outsiders!"
"I am the head of the Sanctum of Sages, Zhang Xuan. I have just lost an artifact, so I'm here to look for your guild leader in hopes that he can help me in divination!" With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out the Sanctum Head Token.
"The head of the Sanctum of Sages?"
The young man was taken aback. He hurriedly clasped his fist and said, "Elder, please wait a moment. I'll report the matter to the guild leader right now!"
After saying those words, he hurriedly walked into the building.
Less than three minutes later, a black-haired elder followed closely behind him and said, "I didn't know that Sanctum Head Zhang would be here personally. Please come in!"
The elder appeared to be in his sixties, and his cultivation was at Saint 8-dan pinnacle. Dressed in the long robe of the Seer Guild, he exuded the air of a sage.
"I'll be troubling you then. I do have a request to ask of you."
Zhang Xuan clasped his fist.
"Sanctum Head Zhang, there's no need to stand on ceremony. Your name has been resounding in our ears over the past few days, and I didn't think that you would be able to visit us personally.
Your presence brings light to our humble abode, "the elder said as he led the way. As soon as Zhang Xuan and Zhang Xuan entered the building, Lozosy frowned and sent a telepathic message over." Zhang Xuan, be careful! "
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that this was the first time Luo Ruoxin had taken the initiative to warn him, Zhang Xuan turned to her and asked, "Did you notice anything?"
Lozosy seemed to be on the verge of saying something, but she eventually halted her words and said, "It's nothing much. It's best to be careful."
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
Since the other party had said so, it was likely that the place was not as peaceful as it seemed. Thus, he placed his hand on his belt, ready to make a move the moment any danger appeared.
However, perhaps he was being overly worried, he did not notice anything out of the ordinary even after walking to the center of the building.
"May I know the reason behind your visit, Sanctum Head Zhang?"
The elder turned to Zhang Xuan and asked.
"It's like this. Our Sanctum of Sages' Sage Kui's sculpture was stolen not too long ago, and according to the traces, it disappeared here. Since it's also under Mingshi Tang's jurisdiction, I would like to trouble you to help us deduce the whereabouts of the culprit. If you can find it, I'll be eternally grateful! "
Zhang Xuan clasped his fist.
Zhang Xuan's words were extremely direct, and the underlying meaning behind his words was simple. Since his sculpture had gone missing in the Sanctum of Sages' hands, he would have to trouble you to deduce its whereabouts.
"It disappeared here?" The guild leader frowned in displeasure. "Sanctum Head Zhang, are you suspecting that our Seer Guild has hidden an artifact from the Sanctum of Sages?"
"The culprit who stole our Sage Kui's sculpture was an Otherworldly Demon, and he was able to conceal his presence so well that not even my Eye of Insight was able to detect his presence. I really can't think of anyone else!"
Zhang Xuan looked at the elder impassively. "The loss of our Sanctum of Sages' artifact is a small matter, but if the Otherworldly Demons are involved in this matter, I'm afraid that we'll be in deep trouble if we report this matter to Mingshi Tang.
"Sanctum Head Zhang, I respect you as the head of the Sanctum of Sages and the head of the Zhang clan, and I've welcomed you out of goodwill. Yet, you are slandering the reputation of our Seer Guild. What do you mean by that?"
The elder abruptly stood up as his face darkened.
"Nothing much. I just want to retrieve an artifact from our Sanctum of Sages. Guild leader, there's no need for you to get nervous or angry. If this matter has nothing to do with you, do you mind if I search the artifact? If I can't find it, I'll apologize to you! "
Zhang Xuan glanced at the elder impassively.
"Search the artifact? Audacious! Even the headquarters of Mingshi Tang has to show us respect. As the head of the Sanctum of Sages, what right do you have to search the artifact? "
The elder's face turned livid, and his body trembled in anger.
