"Anyway, from all aspects, the Fenglong Sect is the most suspicious," Jing Fu concluded.
"This matter is of great importance. We can't judge the truth by speculation. You should investigate it carefully. It's best if you can get solid evidence before coming to a conclusion," Xiao Lingyu said seriously.
The conversation ended here. Jing Fu arranged for Xiao Lingyu and Jing Xian to stay in two first-class guest rooms in the City Lord's Mansion and then went to do his own things.
Xiao Lingyu came to the Divine Tomb Continent to hide temporarily. As for the task given by Qing Pingzi, he would try his best to complete it. However, with so many disciples of the Nanhua Immortal Sect here, he certainly wouldn't investigate it personally. He just stayed in the Divine Tomb City with peace of mind.
In a dark secret room in the courtyard of the City Lord's Estate, Jing Fu was sitting cross-legged facing a cultivator in black clothes and a black cloak.
Due to the black cloak, Jing Fu couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but he knew the man's identity very well.
"Who did the sect send?" the man asked in a somewhat shaky voice.
"It's a Martial Uncle with the surname Xiao and the second disciple of the Sect Master, Jing Xian," Jing Fu replied.
"Surname Xiao? He should be the one who was just accepted into the sect by that old fox … "
The man pondered for a moment and said, "Since Junior Brother Xiao came here under orders, it can be seen that he has made a choice."
Jing Fu shook his head and said, "This disciple thinks otherwise. If this Martial Uncle Xiao really chose to join Martial Uncle Sect Master's faction, then with Martial Uncle Sect Master's temper, he definitely wouldn't have sent him to the Divine Tomb Continent. Presumably, Martial Uncle Sect Master also knows a lot about the situation here."
The man nodded and said, "You're right. Go and test him when you have time. If he's still hesitating, we'll try our best to rope him in. If he's already one of the old fox's people, we can immediately take action."
Jingfu thought for a moment and said worriedly, "Although Sect Master's lineage suffered a great loss last time, this disciple feels that Sect Master Martial Uncle is very scheming. Aren't we being a little too hasty in our attack this time?"
The newcomer laughed and said, "Haha, don't be deceived by that old fox's appearance. Last time, his side seemed to be the weakest, but at the last moment, we realized how powerful he was. Even a powerful existence like Qing Liu was killed by him. At that time, he had deceived all of us. If he had not schemed to drive a wedge between Qing Xuan and Qing Liu, how could the Sect Leader position be his today? However, it was precisely because he succeeded in sowing discord last time that caused Qing Liu's death that we also had a chance. If Qing Xuan and Qing Liu continue to stand together, not only that old fox, but we also have no chance. "
Jingfu sighed and said, "I think Martial Uncle Qing Liu is also an outstanding person. If he doesn't die, he should be able to reach the Immortal Venerable Realm."
The newcomer said indifferently, "Even outstanding people have weaknesses. Although Junior Brother Qing Liu is extremely talented and has extraordinary aptitude, he is still infatuated with Qing Xuan. However, Qing Xuan's heart is as still as water, and she doesn't have any feelings for him. Even if Qing Liu doesn't die, he will be trapped by the Love Demon and turn into ashes under the brilliant Divine Tribulation. Cultivators of our generation go against the heavens to cultivate. It's already very difficult. If we have any distractions, how can we last long? Compared to Qing Liu, I feel that Qing Xuan is the truly powerful person. Not only is her aptitude very high, but her strength can be said to be the strongest in our sect. Moreover, she has a firm will. If she can break through the Immortal Venerable Realm and finally pass the Divine Tribulation, I won't be surprised at all. "
Jingfu continued, "It's precisely because Martial Uncle Sect Leader is too good at acting that we have to be more careful this time. This time, his faction also seems to be weak, but they might still be very powerful."
The newcomer shook his head and said, "You think too highly of that old fox. If he really is very powerful, why would he personally go out to rope in Junior Brother Xiao? Although he seems to be weak this time, the feeling he gives us is still very powerful. At least, you think we shouldn't make things difficult for him now. However, this feeling he gives us is actually deliberately created by him. "
Jingfu didn't say anything more, but he still looked a little worried.
"Don't think too much. You just need to do your job well. Regardless of success or failure, it doesn't have much to do with us. No matter who wins or loses, it won't involve too much, and it won't shake the sect's foundation. At most, a few Immortal Emperors who stand on the wrong side will die, and the power will change. Now, go and test Junior Brother Xiao first. After you find out, we will make a plan. "
After saying that, the newcomer waved his hand at Jingfu, indicating for him to leave.
After Jingfu bowed, he left the secret room and returned to his room to think for a while. Then, he gritted his teeth and went out.
Jingfu didn't go anywhere else. Instead, he went to the guest room where Xiao Lingyu was. After entering, he bowed and greeted him very respectfully and politely.
"Why did you come here instead of investigating?" Xiao Lingyu asked rudely.
"Martial Uncle, I came here to show my filial piety," Jingfu said with a smile.
"What filial piety? If it's to curry favor, there's no need for that, "Xiao Lingyu said with a frown.
"It's not to curry favor, but Martial Uncle Qingwei's order. I don't dare to be greedy."
After Jingfu explained, he placed a storage bag on the table.
When he heard Qingwei's name, Xiao Lingyu's frown deepened. However, he still shook his head and said, "I didn't know Senior Brother Qingwei before I entered the sect, and we didn't have any friendship. Although we're from the same sect now, I can't accept benefits from him for no reason. Please return the things inside to Senior Martial Brother Qing Wei on my behalf and convey my gratitude to him. "
Jingfu's expression seemed to be a little difficult when he heard that. He stood there without moving and seemed to be at a loss.
"If there's nothing else, then leave," Xiao Lingyu said indifferently.
Jingfu had no choice but to put away the storage bag and leave.
Xiao Lingyu could guess that Jingfu had come to give the gift on behalf of the Qingwei lineage to rope him in. He was even more aware that if he accepted this gift, it would be equivalent to standing on their side. If he didn't accept it, it would mean that he had no intention of cooperating with the Qingwei lineage.
Although he didn't want to offend the Qingwei lineage, he also didn't want Qing Pingzi and Qing Xuan to see him as an enemy.
However, he also knew that he couldn't always remain neutral because he was alone. If he didn't join any faction, any faction could easily kill him.
If he had to choose a faction to rely on, Xiao Lingyu would rather choose the Sect Master's faction. No matter what others said, he felt that Sect Master Qing Pingzi was a good person.
Less than ten days after Xiao Lingyu arrived at the Divine Tomb Continent, another Nan Hua Immortal Sect disciple was attacked outside. Xiao Lingyu and Jing Xian were also invited by Jingfu to the same living room.
"This time, it can be proven that the Fenglong Sect has been playing tricks in the dark, and it was Jing Fei who did it!" Jingfu seemed to be indignant.
"Oh? How do you prove it? "Jing Xian asked doubtfully.
"The disciple who was attacked had a Transmission Immortal Talisman on him," Jingfu replied.
The Transmission Immortal Talisman was a communication Dharma treasure that was slightly more advanced than the Communication Immortal Bead. It could transmit a video.
After Jingfu finished speaking, he took out a transparent crystal ball. Then, he rubbed his palm on the crystal ball a few times, and a series of images appeared in the crystal ball.
The images were very clear. It was a cultivator talking to another cultivator not far away. Then, one of them attacked the other. With just one move, one of them died. The dead cultivator didn't put up any defense before the other cultivator attacked. He only crushed an Immortal Talisman, and then the image ended.
"Senior Brother Jing Xian, you should know this person, right?"
The image froze at the end. Jing Fu pointed at the murderer and asked Jing Xian.
"It's Jing Fei indeed. That attack was his usual method. However, there's no need to guess. We can ask Jing Fei directly. With his temperament, if he really did it, he wouldn't deny it," Jing Xian said with a nod.
"Many years have passed. Maybe his temperament has changed," Jing Fu said nonchalantly. Jing Fu said noncommittally, "Moreover, Jing Fei is now a Celestial Emperor expert. Even if we find him, he might not pay attention to us."
At this point, Jing Fu looked at Xiao Lingyu.
"You guys confirm Jing Fei's approximate location first. I'll go and ask him," Xiao Lingyu said.
Qing Pingzi asked Xiao Lingyu to come over to do this. Now that there was a suspect, he naturally had to go.
"Jing Fei has been active near Jade Light Lake recently. Martial Uncle Xiao, go to Jade Light Lake and maybe you'll see him," Jing Fu said.
Xiao Lingyu nodded and then left the City Lord's Mansion with the map jade slip that Jing Fu gave him.
From the conversation between Jing Fu and Jing Xian, Xiao Lingyu had some understanding of Jing Fei. Jing Fei was an Early-stage Immortal Emperor and should have just advanced. Although Jing Fei was very strong, he couldn't be much stronger than Ji Yong. Now that Xiao Lingyu had the Yellow Emperor's bloodline and reached the late-stage Immortal Monarch Realm, he was much stronger than before the battle with Ji Yong. Naturally, he was not afraid of Jing Fei.
Jade Light Lake was not close to the Divine Tomb City. Even Xiao Lingyu took more than ten days to fly to it.
Looking from afar, Jade Light Lake was quite large and looked like a sea. However, the lake water reflected a green light that dyed the clouds in the sky green.
Looking closer, the water of Jade Light Lake was very calm, like a huge mirror.
In the map jade slip, there was also a brief introduction of this Jade Light Lake, but except for the lake water that was glowing with green light, which made the nearby scenery very beautiful, there was nothing unusual about it.
Especially at night, the scenery near Jade Light Lake was more attractive, so there were many cultivators nearby.
Xiao Lingyu was not here for sightseeing. He restrained his aura and slowed down, pretending to be sightseeing and slowly looking for Jing Fei.
