Ye Zhen smiled warmly. He waved his hand again and said, "Elder Meng, are you testing me?"
"I wouldn't dare. I'm sincerely asking for your guidance. There's no one in the Flying Star House who doesn't know about Elder Ye's talent. With the Expansive Heavenly Energy and the script seal, he managed to kill the luan. "
Ye Zhen said,
"Killing the luan is the work of everyone in the Flying Star House."
Meng Changdong nodded.
Ye Zhen put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "Who do you think could've killed Jiang Wenxu? He ruled the golden lotus domain for more than 300 years. How could he not have any means to protect himself? This crystal definitely hid the secret of the person who killed him. This person will also be one of Red Lotus' strongest opponents. "
"Indeed, but why would this person seal his memories in the crystal?" Meng Changdong asked curiously.
"Everyone has a weakness. The more you don't want to face something, the more you will try to seal it. "
If the golden lotus expert's weakness was hidden in the crystal, then it was imperative to unravel it.
Meng Changdong's expression remained unchanged as he nodded in agreement.
Ye Zhen looked at him and said, "Elder Meng, do you have any more questions?"
"The people sent by the Sky Martial Court have all been killed. The Sky Chariot's invasion plan has been put on hold for now. The Blood Sun Temple's karmic fire master, Fa Kong, has also been killed. The golden lotus realm is not as weak as we thought, "Meng Changdong said.
Ye Zhen said nothing.
Instead, he waved his hand again, and the teapot on the coffee table automatically poured water for him.
Di —
After filling the cups, Ye Zhen said, "The Sky Martial Court will take care of the matters in the golden lotus domain. There's no need for you to worry, Elder Meng. Elder Meng should do his best to unravel the secret of the crystal. "
Meng Changdong's heart skipped a beat. He did not dare to continue the topic.
Ever since he proposed an extremely conservative theory, the Flying Star House's Master had forbidden him from interfering with this matter.
Currently, the house master of the Flying Star House was in seclusion most of the time. Ye Zhen was in charge of the Flying Star House. Although Meng Changdong was also an elder, his status was not as high as Ye Zhen's. His strength was much weaker as well.
He pondered for a moment.
Meng Changdong took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and put it on the tea table. "Elder Ye, please have a look."
Ye Zhen picked up the paper on the coffee table and opened it.
There were broken symbols on it. It was a mess, and not a single one of them could be recognized.
Although Ye Zhen was well-read and knew everything from astronomy to geography, he could not help but frown when he read it.
"I've analyzed the obstacles set up in the Memory Crystal in this world for several months, but I can't figure them out at all. Until now, I haven't been able to understand the meaning of these symbols. As I said just now, I've tried everything, but I can't open it, "Meng Changdong said.
Ye Zhen looked at the runes and pondered for a long time.
In the entire Flying Star House, if Ye Zhen could not decipher the secret of the crystal, the others would have no hope at all.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Zhen still could not understand the meaning of the symbols on the paper.
Meng Changdong said, "The crystal was cut in half, so there are only half of these symbols left."
Ye Zhen put down the paper and said regretfully, "If Luo Xuan was still here, she might have been able to solve the secret of the crystal. The person who sealed the crystal must have used a secret that only he knew. Unless we find this person. "
Meng Changdong nodded and said, "Alas, Luo Xuan was expelled from the Sky Martial Court a long time ago. I'm afraid she died in the Endless Ocean."
Ye Zhen sighed. "There's only a thin line between a genius and a lunatic. Alas, the Sky Martial Court didn't understand her meaning earlier … Let's not talk about her. How's the matter with the Thousand Willow Monastery?"
"Lu Song, Daoist Master Xuan Ming is dead … Initially, I planned to go to the Thousand Willow Monastery to demand an explanation, but …"
"But what?" Ye Zhen asked.
"A golden lotus cultivator seems to have appeared in the Thousand Willow Monastery. To protect themselves, the Thousand Willow Monastery and the golden lotus cultivators joined the Ninth Temple. Apart from that, I received a secret report … "Meng Changdong lowered his voice and looked outside.
"This is my dojo. The walls won't have ears. Speak your mind," Ye Zhen said as he sat upright.
"The Great General of the North, Chen Beizheng … is dead," Meng Changdong said.
Ye Zhen, who had always been calm, had just raised his teacup when he froze in midair. His right hand trembled slightly, and tea spilled out.
However, as soon as the tea touched the teacup, Primal Qi surged, and the air froze. The tea spilled back into the teacup.
"Is the information accurate?"
"It's true. The palace has tried to keep this information under wraps. However, the palace has pushed the matter to the Sky Martial Court. The Sky Martial Court is on good terms with the Flying Star House, so they told me about it, "Meng Changdong said.
Ye Zhen appeared puzzled.
"Sikong Beichen is bold enough to make an enemy of the palace?" Ye Zhen gradually calmed down.
"With Sikong Beichen's strength, it won't be easy for him to kill Chen Beizheng. However, the incident happened in the Ninth Temple. It's not impossible for the Ninth Temple to kill Chen Beizheng."
"I'll report this to the house master."
"Alright."
After Meng Changdong finished speaking, he stood up and bowed. "I'll think of a way to get the crystal. Farewell. "
"Send our guest off."
A Confucian scholar walked out and led Meng Changdong to another mountain peak.
…
Seven days later. The golden lotus domain.
In front of the great hall in the Evil Sky Pavilion's eastern pavilion.
Si Wuya paced back and forth.
"The Yun Sect's Nan Gongwei has successfully attained the Nine-leaf stage. He gathered the forces of the Three Sects to kill the beast. The beast fled with grievous injuries."
"An unknown Eight-leaf cultivator in Yi Province has successfully attained the Nine-leaf stage. Alas, there's no one to protect him. He was heavily injured by the beast. His whereabouts are unknown."
"The Big Dipper Academy's President, Zhou Youcai, has failed to attain the Nine-leaf stage. Fifth Senior Sister commanded the cultivators to chase away the beasts. "
"The Nether Sect's Azure Dragon Hall's Second Seat, Yu Hong, attempted to attain the Nine-leaf stage on his own after attaining the Eight-leaf stage. He lost 300 years of his life. Bai Yuqing has ordered that no one is allowed to attempt the Nine-leaf stage without permission."
"The Ten Thousand Poison Sect's Lu Liang has failed to attain the Nine-leaf stage."
"The Blossom Sect's Madam Zhang has failed to attain the Nine-leaf stage."
"The other cultivators who attempted the Nine-leaf stage didn't even inform us. I'm guessing they're in a terrible state. Seventh Junior Brother, they can't do anything without me. Should I go and help them?!"
After he finished speaking, he spread his hands.
Si Wuya said, "As long as the Formation isn't breached, the beasts are nothing. Fifth Senior Sister has the Empress Dowager's support. The Divine Capital shouldn't be a problem. All we have to do is defend it well. Those people can't blame anyone for their failure. Fourth Senior Brother, you shouldn't leave so easily. "
"Life is boring. I'm a Nine-leaf cultivator, but I'm useless. Seventh Junior Brother, don't draw anymore tonight. Why don't you practice with me? "
As soon as he finished speaking.
A cry for help came from outside.
"M-mister Fourth, help me, help me," Zhu Tianyuan said while panting.
"What kind of help? Just say the word, and I'll get you. "Mingshi Yin patted his chest. With a flip of his palm, the Separation Hook appeared.
Zhu Tianyuan said, "S-train with Mister Third for a while."
Whoosh, a gust of wind blew past.
Zhu Tianyuan looked up and around him. "Where are they? Mister Fourth? "
Si Wuya was speechless. 'How childish.' He returned to his room with his hands on his back and continued to study the patterns.
…
Meanwhile, in the Red Lotus Domain.
The sun was setting in the west.
Lu Zhou's extraordinary power was fully replenished.
Apart from meditating on the Heavenly Writing scrolls, Lu Zhou also had to cultivate his breathing technique to raise his cultivation base. He was preparing to break through to the Ten-leaf stage.
Perhaps it was due to the rich Yuan Energy in the Red Lotus Domain, his cultivation speed was faster than when he was in the Golden Lotus Domain.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
"Xia Changqiu requests an audience."
"What is it?"
"The Ninth Temple has sent a letter. The Flying Star House's Master will be visiting the Ninth Temple in three days. Temple Master Sikong would like to invite you over."
