Although Xiao Lingyu had promised Qing Pingzi, he wouldn't go to the Godly Mausoleum Continent directly. Instead, he returned to his residence and meditated for a few days, expelling or digesting the cups of immortal spiritual energy and special energy. Three months had passed. Then, he set off with Jing Xian, who had been waiting outside.
The two of them first arrived at the entrance of the East Imperial Kingdom. Without needing to queue, Jing Xian took out a token and showed it to the leader of the Teleportation Array guards. Then, the leader asked the cultivators who were about to be teleported to the back. Xiao Lingyu and Jing Xian entered the Teleportation Array calmly.
After a white light flashed, Xiao Lingyu and Jing Xian left the East Imperial Continent.
In fact, the reason why he had promised Qing Pingzi was that Xiao Lingyu had plans to leave the East Imperial Continent for a period of time. However, he didn't have a suitable place to go before. If he left, he was afraid that it would arouse suspicion. Now was the perfect opportunity.
The Divine Tomb Continent wasn't close to the East Imperial Continent. With the normal teleportation speed, it would take at least a few hundred years to teleport over. However, Xiao Lingyu and Jing Xian were disciples of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect, a major sect in the Immortal Domain. Naturally, they had some privileges. Every time, Jing Xian would take out the token and use the teleportation array without queuing.
With such continuous teleportation, the speed was undoubtedly countless times faster. In less than a month, the two had arrived at the Divine Tomb Continent.
The Divine Tomb Continent's size and prosperity were much worse than the East Imperial Continent. The overall cultivation level of the cultivators was also far from that of the East Imperial Continent.
Although the Divine Tomb Continent had always been under the control of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect in name, in fact, many big and small forces had left their own experts here. These experts didn't usually appear and were just hiding. The reason was that there was a legend in the Divine Tomb Continent. It said that there was an ancient god's tomb here. Therefore, many big and small forces in the Immortal World had been sending people here to search. However, after countless years, no one had found the legendary tomb.
It was also because of this legend that the Divine Tomb Continent had such a strange name.
Except for those hidden experts from various forces, the cultivation level of the native cultivators of the Divine Tomb Continent was very ordinary. Although the resources on this continent were not poor, they were not rich either. As for high-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they were almost extinct.
Those experts who came to search for the Divine Tomb had almost turned the entire Divine Tomb Continent upside down. No natural treasure could hide from them. Since those experts couldn't find the Divine Tomb, they naturally didn't mind taking a few high-grade treasures back.
In the past, there had been some disputes on the Divine Mausoleum Continent. Occasionally, players would come across some high-tiered treasures. However, as the number of treasures on the Divine Mausoleum Continent decreased, everyone lost the motivation and reason to fight each other. Many experts had simply found a place to cultivate in seclusion.
Countless seniors had failed to find the legendary Divine Tomb, and there were even Immortal Venerables who said that the legend was completely untrue. Therefore, almost no one bothered to search for it.
As for why someone attacked the disciples of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect recently, it was something that needed Xiao Lingyu to investigate. Jing Xian didn't know.
"Although I don't know who did it, the person who dared to attack the disciples of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect on the Divine Tomb Continent is definitely not an ordinary expert. Although the Nan Hua Immortal Sect isn't domineering to the outside world, we are still a major sect. If an ordinary sect dares to offend us, the Nan Hua Immortal Sect will send experts to erase their names from the Immortal World for the sake of our reputation."
Jing Xian analyzed calmly while leading Xiao Lingyu into the Divine Tomb City.
Although the Divine Tomb Continent wasn't prosperous, as the main city of the continent and a big city next to the teleportation array, the Divine Tomb City was bustling with people. Although it wasn't as crowded as the East Royal City and the shops on both sides of the street weren't as grand and luxurious, it was still a bustling scene.
The two walked slowly and soon arrived in front of the City Lord Mansion in the center of the city.
The Divine Tomb Continent belonged to the Nan Hua Immortal Sect, so the Divine Tomb City and the City Lord Mansion naturally belonged to the Nan Hua Immortal Sect. The City Lord couldn't be an outsider and must be a disciple of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect.
The City Lord's Mansion was not a place where anyone could enter as they wished. There were two cultivators wearing golden armor and holding golden spears guarding the entrance. Their faces were dignified and cold, causing the nearby cultivators to consciously take a detour.
"Halt, this is an important place of the City Lord Mansion, no one is allowed to enter without permission."
When Xiao Lingyu and Jing Xian were about ten steps away from the City Lord Mansion, they heard a guard's shout.
"Ask your City Lord to come out, tell him that a senior from the sect is here to inspect."
Jing Xian didn't stop there. Instead, he walked up to a guard and handed him a token.
That guard was also a disciple of the Nan Hua Immortal Sect, so he naturally recognized the token. His expression became respectful and he bowed and said, "Seniors, please wait for a moment, I will go and pass the message."
After saying that, the guard turned around and entered the City Lord's Mansion. The other guard's dignified and cold expression had long since disappeared. He laughed and said, "Seniors, you've worked hard. If there's anything you need, I'm willing to do anything for you."
"There's no need for that. In terms of hard work, you guys are the ones who have worked hard. It's not easy to protect the foundation of our Nan Hua Immortal Sect." Jing Xian said humbly. He didn't put on the airs of a senior just because of his high cultivation.
From Jing Xian's seemingly ordinary words, Xiao Lingyu could tell that he was a very cautious person. As a peak late-stage Immortal Monarch cultivator and the disciple of the Sect Master, Jing Xian definitely had the right to be high-profile. At least, he didn't have to be so polite and low-key in front of this guard who was only an early-stage Nine Heaven Xuan Immortal.
Qing Pingzi's decision to send Jing Xian to help and monitor Xiao Lingyu was indeed very appropriate.
Although Jing Xian's cultivation level wasn't high, he was the Sect Master's disciple. If Xiao Lingyu was unhappy with his monitoring, he wouldn't make things difficult for him.
Moreover, Jing Xian was reliable and shrewd, so he could take care of all aspects. He could indeed help Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu didn't have any messy thoughts, so he naturally didn't mind Jing Xian monitoring him. Since Jing Xian was so capable, he didn't have to worry too much.
In less than a hundred breaths of time after Jing Xian spoke with that guard, the guard who left just now came back with a slightly plump cultivator.
"Senior Brother Jing Xian, this is the senior from the main sect, right?" The plump cultivator asked politely.
"Junior Brother Jing Fu, this is Uncle-Master Xiao." Jing Xian introduced.
"Disciple Jing Fu greets Uncle-Master Xiao." Jing Fu cupped his fists and bowed. He wasn't tall and was slightly plump, so he couldn't seem to bend his body.
"There's no need to be so polite. Let's talk inside," Xiao Lingyu replied calmly.
With that, Xiao Lingyu didn't need Jing Fu to invite him and directly walked into the City Lord's residence.
Jing Xian didn't have to put on airs, but Xiao Lingyu had to act like a senior. A senior was a senior, and a powerhouse was a powerhouse. If you couldn't even put yourself in a proper position, you shouldn't expect others to respect you.
Jing Fu followed behind Xiao Lingyu and led the way. The three of them arrived at a living room.
The living room wasn't big, and there were no guards. However, there were many restrictions around it. Although it seemed open, it was actually very tightly guarded. It was more suitable for discussing confidential matters.
"Junior Brother Jing Fu, tell us about the situation first."
After taking a seat, Jing Xian said, "You sent a message to the sect, saying that the situation here was strange. You should have found some clues by now, right?"
Jing Fu took care of the tea and snacks as he said, "Ever since the first time a disciple of our sect was assassinated outside, I sent people out to investigate. It wasn't until more than a month ago that we set up a trap and deliberately let a disciple go out alone. In the end, he really attracted an assassin. Then, we surrounded those bandits. Although we also captured one of them, that person committed suicide soon after. However, in that person's storage Dharma treasure, we found a special identity token that belonged to the Fenglong Sect. "
"Fenglong Sect?"
Jing Xian frowned and said, "Although the Fenglong Sect has always been on bad terms with our Nanhua Immortal Sect, they shouldn't dare to provoke us. Besides, what's the point of them attacking and killing our disciples?"
"Even if the identity token isn't fake, there shouldn't be any soul imprint in it," Xiao Lingyu said.
"Since the bandit is dead, there shouldn't be any soul imprint in his identity token," Jing Fu said.
"It's because the soul imprint in a person's identity token will disappear when they die that it's easy to falsify. Usually, in such an attack, they can't guarantee that they won't be in danger. If they don't want to expose their identity, they won't carry the identity token with them, "Jing Xian said with narrowed eyes.
"There's one more thing. Jing Fei of the Fenglong Sect is also here. Recently, he has been in frequent contact with people from other sects. His whereabouts are very suspicious. If the identity token of the bandit is suspicious, then Jing Fei's arrival and many of his actions are even more suspicious, "Jing Fu added.
"Jing Fei is here? Has he already reached the Immortal Emperor Realm? "Jing Xian was also a little surprised. He probably knew Jing Fei.
Jing Fu nodded and said, "I've seen him once. Whether it's his temperament or his temperament, he's more confident than before. I can't see through his cultivation, but he's most likely an early-stage Immortal Emperor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come out."
Jing Xian said worriedly, "As far as I know, Jing Fei doesn't like to go out. He's wholeheartedly focused on cultivation. This time, the Fenglong Sect sent him here for more than just traveling."
"In the past, our sect, the Fenglong Sect, and the other sects often had disciples below the Immortal Emperor Realm spar with each other. At that time, Jing Fei was very strong and defeated many elite disciples of the Nanhua Immortal Sect. However, he lost to Senior Brother Jing Xin once and it was a pity. Since then, he hasn't been kind to the Nanhua Immortal Sect. Before he came to the Divine Mausoleum Continent, it was peaceful here.
