Chu Li was shocked. "Senior Feng, what do you mean?"
"The Earth Demon Stone is gone." The skinny Feng Changsheng sighed. "Young Wu, you're too late."
Chu Li said, "The Sect Leader said that the Earth Demon Stone is with you. As long as I bring a letter here, I'll be able to get it."
"This Earth Demon Stone was meant for Brother Zhao, but it was stolen." Feng Changsheng shook his head and sighed. "It's my fault. I can't face Brother Zhao."
Chu Li was stunned. "Someone stole it?"
Feng Changsheng nodded slowly. "The last time I came out of isolated cultivation, I was ambushed by a few people and the Earth Demon Stone was stolen."
Chu Li asked, "Someone else knows about the Earth Demon Stone?"
Feng Changsheng said slowly, "I found this Earth Demon Stone when I was young. I've given it to Brother Zhao. Since he can't use it now, he left it for me to study. No one else knows about it except the two of us."
Chu Li looked at him in confusion.
Feng Changsheng said, "It's impossible that someone knew about the Earth Demon Stone and came to steal it. It's very likely that they stole it. However, the Great Dream Sect has many enemies. It's hard to tell which sect stole it."
"Can't you tell from their martial arts?" Chu Li asked.
He was suspicious of Feng Changsheng. Since only the two of them knew about it, and Zhao Lingfeng could not have stolen it, the only suspect was Feng Changsheng.
Feng Changsheng looked at Chu Li and saw the suspicion in his eyes. He sighed. "This is very strange. I'm the biggest suspect. Unfortunately, I can't prove my innocence."
Chu Li said, "We should've told the Sect Leader about this earlier and asked him to help us get it back."
"These people are untraceable. Even the Great Dream Sect can't figure them out. How can we find them?" Feng Changsheng said slowly. His face was tense, and his eyes were cold.
Chu Li frowned. "Are we just going to let it go?"
Feng Changsheng shook his head. "We can only swallow this."
Chu Li said, "No matter what, we should still tell the Sect Leader. … I'll report back immediately."
"Sigh …" Feng Changsheng said slowly. "I'll personally go to the Flying Heaven Sect and explain to Brother Zhao."
Chu Li nodded.
Feng Changsheng pulled up his sleeve, and the two of them suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, they appeared at the foot of the Flying Heaven Sect's mountain. Chu Li led him straight into the sect, and when they arrived at the basilica, they saw Zhao Lingfeng.
When Zhao Lingfeng saw him, he was stunned for a moment before he cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Brother Feng, you're a rare guest. Come, sit down and talk!"
Chu Li gave a fist salute and excused himself.
He returned to his courtyard with a solemn expression.
This matter was a little strange. The status of the Great Dream Sect was not ordinary. It was similar to the Heaven Shaking Tower in the Beyond Heavens Realm. Robbing the disciples of the Great Dream Sect was a huge risk. Even if they were masked and could not be seen clearly, they could still be found through the method of deduction.
This was something that most people knew. These people knew that there were tigers in the mountains, but they still chose to go there. It was obvious that they were driven by a huge profit. What profit? It was the Earth Demon Stones.
It was obvious that they had found out about the Earth Demon Stone. Logically speaking, there were only two people who knew about the Earth Demon Stone, and Zhao Lingfeng would not have revealed it to anyone else. However, from Feng Changsheng's expression, it did not seem likely.
He could see through people's subtle expressions. Even if the Omniscient Mirror could not see through Feng Changsheng's mind, he could still determine that Feng Changsheng did not reveal anything through his subtle expressions and movements.
Could it be Zhao Lingfeng?
He pondered for a moment but did not rush to deny it.
He could not see through the sect leader, Zhao Lingfeng. Zhao Lingfeng was extremely intelligent and shrewd. He had many tricks up his sleeves that could not be defended against. It was not easy for him to trick the Profound Heart Sect.
The Profound Heart Sect was powerful not because of one person, but because of the heart method that they cultivated. Their minds were refined, and their thoughts were meticulous and complicated. All of the disciples were like this. When they gathered together to brainstorm, they would often plot against others, but rarely would they be plotted against.
If it was not for the fact that their sect's martial arts were not strong enough, they would have been the most powerful sect in the world.
However, such a powerful sect had been ruthlessly schemed against by the Flying Heaven Sect. The Sect Protecting Array had been broken, and they had charged straight into their lair to massacre them. It could be said that they had torn apart the Profound Heart Sect's reputation.
Zhao Lingfeng was the first person who had caused the Profound Heart Sect to lose face like this.
A moment later, footsteps were heard. A young disciple came to greet him. The sect leader had invited him in.
When Chu Li arrived at the basilica, Zhao Lingfeng was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be deep in thought and did not speak.
Chu Li fist saluted and stood aside to look at him.
After a while, Zhao Lingfeng turned to look at him and sighed. "Yuansi, what do you think?"
Chu Li shook his head. "It doesn't seem like Senior Feng leaked the information."
"What do you think?" Zhao Lingfeng asked.
Chu Li nodded.
Zhao Lingfeng nodded and said, "I feel the same way. I understand Brother Feng's character, and I trust him. However, the Earth Demon Stone has been stolen. This is somewhat strange."
Chu Li said, "Unfortunately, the Earth Demonic Stone is too mysterious, so there is no way to find it. Did the sect leader leave a mark on the stone so that we can find it?"
If it was not for the Earth Demonic Stone's ability to conceal the secrets of the heavens, the Great Dream Sect would have found it long ago. However, the Earth Demonic Stone could conceal the secrets of the heavens, so it was impossible to find it.
Zhao Lingfeng shook his head and sighed. "The Earth Demonic Stone is not an ordinary item. It's almost impossible to leave a mark on it. Forget it, it was a gift from Brother Feng. It's fine if it's lost."
Chu Li said, "Sect leader, this is related to my return to the Grandmaster's Realm."
"Since you don't have the Earth Demonic Stone, you can forget about going to the Grandmaster's Realm." Zhao Lingfeng shook his head. "It's too dangerous."
Chu Li smiled. "Does the senior in the City of Thousand Swords have an item like the Earth Demonic Stone?"
Zhao Lingfeng shook his head. "Then you don't have to worry about it."
Chu Li did not tell them that he was proficient in the Cloud Slashing Power and could evade detection. He was very interested in the Earth Demonic Stone and wanted to see what it was like. He might be able to enter the Asura Boundary with it.
Chu Li said, "Sect leader, I want to track down the Earth Demonic Stone."
"Alright." Zhao Lingfeng agreed without hesitation. "But be careful. You almost got killed last time, didn't you?"
Chu Li smiled. "You really can't underestimate the Profound Heart Sect."
"Go." Zhao Lingfeng said, "Remember not to offend anyone in the Da Meng Clan. Their disciples all have unfathomable abilities, and they can scheme against you without you even knowing it."
Chu Li nodded solemnly. He closed fist saluted and disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared at the foot of the mountain of the Great Dream Sect. He saw the skinny Feng Changsheng standing there quietly as if waiting for someone.
Feng Changsheng turned to look at him. "Let's go."
Chu Li looked at his expression and knew that he knew that he would not give up. He wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. The Great Dream Sect was indeed worthy of its name.
Feng Changsheng said calmly, "How do you want to investigate?"
"I want to know where Senior Feng fell into the ambush." Chu Li said.
"Follow me." Feng Changsheng said.
The two of them flashed once again and appeared in a forest. The surroundings were filled with ancient trees that were verdant and lush.
