Song Manyin smiled faintly. "How is it?"
Chu Li sighed and kept the Prophecy Stone. He shook his head. "It's too dangerous."
"At least you're not stupid." Song Manyin scoffed. "There's really no way to jump down. If there's a glimmer of hope, don't jump into Nine Spirit Valley. I've never heard of anyone coming back."
Chu Li nodded.
"Let's go." Song Manyin said.
She pulled Chu Li and they disappeared from Nine Spirit Mountain. They returned to her backyard.
A cool breeze blew gently as the two of them stood in the pavilion on the lake.
He did not expect to find the path to the lower realm so easily. Although Nine Spirit Mountain was not the Divine Gate, at least he had some idea. He could go to the Great Mercy Temple to verify it.
"Sect leader, I'll leave now." Chu Li closed fist saluted.
Song Manyin said, "Be careful of the Equal Heaven Gate. They're a bunch of lunatics."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Song Manyin said, "Don't think they won't touch you without evidence. They'll take revenge if they suspect you. It's best to stay at the Southern Heaven Gate or here."
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "Understood."
Song Manyin waved her hand.
Chu Li hesitated. "Sect leader, do you know anything about the Passing Light Sword?"
"You're greedy!" Song Manyin was shocked. "Do you really want the Passing Light Sword?"
Chu Li nodded.
Song Manyin shook her head. "The Passing Light Sword is an ominous sword. Whoever gets it will die. It's better not to be greedy or you might lose your life!"
Chu Li said, "Sect leader, do you really know anything about the Passing Light Sword?"
"No!" Song Manyin scoffed.
Chu Li smiled. "The Passing Light Sword is extremely powerful. It's probably not in the hands of any sect. It should be sealed somewhere."
"Yes." Song Manyin said, "But no one knows where it is. It might have sunk into the sea."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Sect leader, are you saying it's in the hands of a sect on the sea?"
"I didn't say that!" Song Manyin rolled her eyes.
Chu Li looked like he was deep in thought.
Song Manyin scoffed. "Go. I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Chu Li smiled and gave a fist salute before disappearing in a flash.
He had already gotten a hint from Song Manyin's words. It seemed that the Passing Light Divine Sword had truly fallen into the sea. It was very likely to be on some island, or it might have been obtained by some sect on the sea, and they were concentrating on cultivating it in order to master it.
He shook his head and cleared his mind. He decided to merge the Heaven Fate Stone with the Mystic Void Mirror and the Flying Star Incantation. It would be beneficial to the advancement of his Divine Eye.
He flashed back to the Southern Heavenly Gate, returned to his courtyard, and went into seclusion.
The Heaven Fate Stone was mysterious, and the Mystic Void Mirror and the Flying Star Incantation were indeed not on the same path. However, when they studied each other, it was beneficial for him to comprehend the quintessence. The Mystic Void Mirror and the Flying Star Incantation both improved by leaps and bounds, and with the help of the Heaven Fate Stone, his Clairvoyance also improved greatly.
Early in the morning, three men appeared outside the Southern Heaven Gate.
The one in the lead was a middle-aged man with a thin figure and handsome facial features. He had an amiable smile on his face, and two tall and sturdy old men followed behind him. Their faces were full of muscles, as if they were fiends, and they were terrifying.
They came to the bottom of Wen Xin Road and shouted, "Heaven's Equal Sect's Xu Xiangshan greets Sect Master Xu!"
His voice drifted into the ears of everyone in the Heart Questioning Palace.
The real Southern Heavenly Gate was protected by a formation, so his voice could not enter. However, Chu Li saw them and opened his eyes with a frown.
He was sitting on the bed in the house, quietly comprehending the Flying Star Incantation and the Mystic Void Mirror.
"Elder Xu has arrived, please come up and meet us!" Xu Qiang's voice was heard.
Coincidentally, Xu Qiang was talking to Hall Master Sima Xing in Wen Xin Hall.
He walked out of Wen Xin Hall, and Sima Xing followed him out. He frowned and asked, "Why is he here?"
Xu Qiang shook his head.
Sima Xing said, "This fellow is very difficult to deal with. Nothing good will come of him!"
"That might not be the case," Xu Qiang said, "Who knows, it might be a good thing."
Sima Xing shook his head.
Xu Xiangshan and the other two slowly walked up Wen Xin Road. They walked up step by step, and finally arrived in front of Wen Xin Hall.
Xu Qiang and Sima Xing stood on the steps, fist saluting and smiling.
Xu Qiang said, "Elder Xu is a rare guest, why do you have the time to visit our Southern Heavenly Gate? Come in and have a cup of tea! "
"Thank you for your hospitality," Xu Xiangshan said with a smile.
He brought the two elders up the steps and entered the hall. He looked around Wen Xin Hall and sighed, "The last time I came here was already a hundred years ago, and this place hasn't changed."
"It has been a hundred years," Sima Xing said, "At that time, Elder Xu's cultivation wasn't as high, and his reputation wasn't as great."
Xu Xiangshan was now one of the top experts of Equal Heaven Gate. He suddenly rose up in the past hundred years and soared into the sky, making people speechless. It was obvious that he had some fortuitous encounter. When he came a hundred years ago, he was just a rising star. Now, he was already a famous elder.
"Hehe …" Xu Xiangshan sighed and said, "Things remain the same, but people have changed … Clan Master is busy, and I'm not here either?? Gather?? Puppet? Umbrella!
Xu Qiang stretched out his hand and sat on the main seat, gesturing for them to sit down and talk.
A young man in a green shirt came up to serve tea and left.
After the young man left, Xu Xiangshan didn't open the teacup, but only placed it on the tea table beside him. He sighed and said, "We're here to ask for help."
"Oh …?" Xu Qiang was startled and smiled. "What do you mean?"
Xu Xiangshan said, "I'm ashamed to say this. There's a traitor in our gate, and we're currently hunting him down. However, this fellow is unusually cunning and skilled in concealment. We can't believe we lost him. It's a family scandal!"
"It's inevitable." Xu Qiang shook his head. "It's not a scandal."
"Our gate originally had a High Official who's skilled in divination. However, he's been severely injured recently and can't do anything. There's nothing we can do even if we're anxious … As a matter of fact, I heard that your gate has recently gotten a new High Official who's also skilled in divination." Xu Xiangshan smiled. "I'm here under the Clan Master's orders to borrow someone. If High Official can help us hunt down this traitor, we'll reward you handsomely!"
"This …" Xu Qiang pondered and said, "High Official Li isn't in the gate either. He's cultivating somewhere else. How about this, I'll pass this news to him and discuss it with him to see if he can spare the time."
Xu Xiangshan said, "This matter is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed. I'll wait here for the Clan Master's news!"
"So urgent?" Xu Qiang smiled. "It's just a traitor. We'll just kill him once we find him."
Xu Xiangshan shook his head. "A long night is fraught with trouble. If he really goes all out, who knows how much trouble he'll cause!"
"… That's true." Xu Qiang nodded. "Alright, I'll go ask High Official Li."
He fist saluted and left in a flash. The next moment, he appeared outside Chu Li's courtyard.
"Clan Master, please come in." Chu Li's voice was heard.
Xu Qiang pushed the door open and entered. Chu Li had already left the house and arrived at the courtyard.
"High Official Li, the Equal of Heaven Gate has come to ask for your help in tracking down a traitor. What do you think?" Xu Qiang said. "The Equal of Heaven Gate is crazy, but they're also generous. They'll be able to reap many benefits."
Chu Li shook his head. "Clan Master, I need to focus on cultivation now. I'm afraid I can't split myself."
Xu Qiang hesitated.
The Equal of Heaven Gate was not that easy to reject. Even if it was the Southern Heaven Gate, one should not be fooled by Xu Xiangshan's smiling face. If he really rejected, it would mean that he was not giving the Equal of Heaven Gate any face.
