Jiang Yi and Demon Palace Master Ling Cang both looked at the Temple Master.
Slowly, the Temple Master nodded, "Mistress Bie is not in the Mortal World, but in the Qingwei Realm."
"I see." Jiang Yi smiled, "Since the Temple Master is so confident, we are even more confident."
As he spoke, he slowly drew a circle in the air.
The dark golden radiance condensed in the air and didn't dissipate. Then, this circle of light seemed to open a door.
On the other side of the door, there was a colorful and strange scene.
Jiang Yi was the first to step inside.
The Green Bull Temple Master and the Devil Palace Master followed.
The dark golden door immediately closed.
A breeze blew by the river, and the people by the river disappeared.
Jiang Yi's group of three passed through a strange passage.
The Green Bull Temple Master and the Devil Palace Lord followed behind Jiang Yi. They were also guarding their surroundings in case there were other traps targeting them.
Jiang Yi took the lead and didn't seem to notice the other two's hidden vigilance.
As he walked, he casually asked, "Forgive me for being presumptuous, but how did Old Palace Master Ji die back then?"
Demon Palace Master Ling Cang said calmly, "Everyone knows he went mad."
The Temple Master listened without saying a word, as if it had nothing to do with him.
However, he was also secretly concerned about the matter that Jiang Yi asked.
The current Palace Master of the Black Water Extreme Palace, Ling Cang, only took over the position in the last hundred years.
The previous Palace Master was Ling Cang's master.
He didn't die in the Heavenly Demon Tribulation, but died a few decades later. It was a mystery in the Mortal World.
The mysterious death of a powerful figure was definitely not a small matter.
However, it was also because it was too bizarre and extremely well-hidden that the various powers in the mortal world didn't notice it at the first possible moment.
Ling Cang rose to power in a short time, successfully making the Black Water Extreme Palace safe from the disaster of the Blue Cloud House, Xian Tian Palace, and Blood River.
Few people knew, but Jiang Yi and the Temple Master had heard of it.
The earliest news about the black coffin that appeared in Zhengyang City, the capital of the Western Qin Dynasty, was spread during the reign of the former Palace Master of the Black Water Extreme Palace.
However, there was very little information about it. Most people in the outside world did not know what secrets the black coffin contained.
It was not until not long ago when it appeared in the Divine Land and Zhengyang City of the Western Qin in the Mortal World that its true face was exposed to the world.
"I hope Palace Master Ling doesn't mind. It's just that the black coffin is really strange. I can't help but be curious." Jiang Yi calmly said, "I wonder if the old Palace Master mentioned the origin of this black coffin to you back then?"
The Palace Lord of the Demon Palace was silent for a moment, then said, "My master has passed away. There are many things that I don't want to mention. In fact, my knowledge of the black coffin is indeed limited.
That thing was found by my late master from the outside, and there are many secrets hidden within it. The two of us, master and disciple, have been trying to figure it out for many years, but we still haven't been able to figure it out. There are still many mysteries that haven't been solved.
This is a treasure of the Netherworld, and it's extremely vicious. I've always suspected that my late master's death back then was related to this treasure. Therefore, after my late master passed away, I treated it even more cautiously. Most of the time, I suppressed and sealed it. "
His tone was calm. "It wasn't until your esteemed Vice Hierarch Chen appeared that this black coffin suddenly moved again. It actually broke through my seal and flew away.
I also want to know why Chen Luoyang is related to the black coffin. What's his relationship with it? "
"Perhaps we'll have an answer very soon." Jiang Yi smiled.
The Palace Lord of the Demon Palace nodded and said no more.
On the other hand, the Green Bull Monastery Master at the side suddenly said, "Layman Ling, may I ask if the black coffin was empty when it left the palace or was there something inside?"
"…" After a moment of silence, the Palace Lord of the Demon Palace answered, "My late master's body is inside."
When Jiang Yi and the Temple Master heard this, they both looked at him.
The Palace Lord's tone was calm. "This is my late master's last wish."
"Layman Ling, may you find that black coffin soon," the Temple Master said.
Jiang Yi also smiled and nodded. "May Palace Lord Ling achieve his wish soon."
"Thank you for your blessings." The Palace Lord nodded.
The three didn't say anything else and continued forward together.
The seemingly endless passageway suddenly ended without any warning.
Jiang Yi led the way and stepped into the darkness.
The Temple Master of the Demon Palace and the Palace Lord followed closely behind.
Neither of them had truly entered the dark grotto-heaven where the Demon Lord resided. At this moment, they both looked at Jiang Yi.
"We're here," Jiang Yi said softly.
The Temple Master of the Demon Palace and the Palace Lord felt that their perception and perception were suppressed, becoming sluggish.
"Normally, the Supremes should have already sensed our arrival," Jiang Yi said.
In the dark grotto-heaven, it was silent, as if only the three of them existed.
The Temple Master of the Blue Bull Temple asked, "Every time you come, Chen Luoyang is also there, right?"
"Actually, only twice," Jiang Yi said.
The Palace Lord said, "For Bie Donglai, it shouldn't be just twice."
Jiang Yi nodded. "Yes, let's try and see if we can find him."
Saying this, he took the lead and walked forward.
The temple master and the Palace Lord followed.
Jiang Yi passed through the dark palaces with great familiarity.
He had already memorized the path. If the master of this place didn't interfere, he could walk without any difficulty.
There were no obstructions along the way.
The three heavyweights grew more and more suspicious of Chen Luoyang.
Finally, they arrived outside the central hall.
This was the first time they encountered a tiger blocking their path.
A mad tiger.
Bie Donglai had an unfriendly expression as he stood on the plaza in front of the hall, glaring at Jiang Yi and the others.
"In the grotto-heaven, my perception is suppressed. I thought I heard wrong," Bie Donglai said coldly. Bie Donglai coldly said, "I didn't expect that someone would actually sneak into a Supreme-Being's cave without any warning."
"Sir Bie has misunderstood," Jiang Yi said with a slight smile. "We have come to seek an audience with the Supremes. We have no intention of offending you."
Bie Donglai glanced at the three of them. "Don't be ridiculous. The Supremes have already ordered that if there is anything, they can pass the message from Luoyang."
"This is where the problem lies. Chen Luoyang will block the way and deceive the Supremes," Palace Lord Ling Cang said indifferently. "I want to report to the Supremes, but Chen Luoyang views Chen Luoyang as a thorn in his side, so how would he dare pass the message on my behalf?"
Bie Donglai was astounded. "How could the Supremes be deceived by others? As long as he is willing, is there anything in the mortal world that he doesn't know? "
"The Supremes are focused on refining treasures in seclusion, so it's possible that he didn't notice," Ling Cang said. "If he already knows, then even if he didn't summon me, he wouldn't refuse to see me right now."
Bie Donglai frowned. "What is it?"
"It has to do with the Yellow Springs Realm," Ling Cang replied.
Bie Donglai raised his eyebrows.
The Yellow Springs Realm was innately opposed to the mortal world.
However, under the control of its ruler, the Yellow Springs Realm was rather restrained and closed off. It rarely interacted with the mortal world, Qingwei, Xihe, and other realms, each minding its own business.
But that was the world of the dead, so it had always been a taboo in the world of the living.
In the mortal world, martial artists of the Demonic Dao had a rather casual view of the Yellow Springs.
But martial artists of the Righteous Dao had always been wary and even hostile towards the Yellow Springs.
As they faced life and death, the Yellow Springs and the mortal world always had an unbreakable and unclear connection.
The Netherworld Twelve Swords were a supreme technique that originated from the Yellow Springs Realm.
Bie Donglai actually didn't care much about the Yellow Springs Realm.
But he truly didn't know what the Supremes thought of the Yellow Springs Realm.
"What does this have to do with Chen Luoyang?" Bie Donglai still didn't move out of the way. "Why would he stop you from reporting to the Supremes?"
"Because he is related to the Yellow Springs Realm," Ling Cang said. Ling Cang said, "If you're interested, you can come with me to meet the Supremes. If the Supremes allow you to listen, then you can naturally know everything. If the Supremes do not allow you to listen, then it means that this matter shouldn't be known by you, so there's no need for us to say anything more."
Bie Donglai took out a broken piece of crystal and fiddled with it. "Then let Luoyang come as well. It'll only be fair if everyone confronts each other face to face, right? You're tattling on me behind my back. "
Jiang Yi looked at the broken piece of crystal in Bie Donglai's hand and couldn't help but smile.
That Heavenletter Stone had originally belonged to him, and he had previously given it to Chen Luoyang.
But now, it had become a convenient tool for Bie Donglai and Chen Luoyang to communicate despite the distance of time and space.
"Scholar Bie, I want to ask you something."
The Temple Master suddenly asked, "How long have you been in this grotto-heaven? Do you usually converse with the Supremes?"
Bie Donglai said casually, "Not much, but not little either."
The Temple Master's expression was calm. "Then, have you … seen the Supremes fight again?"
"What do you mean?" Bie Donglai frowned. "If there weren't thieves like you who snuck in, why would the Supremes fight? It's not like I want to anger the Supremes. "
This was the truth.
For the sake of finding out Han Yan's whereabouts, Bie Donglai had never been as obedient as he had been in the Dark Grotto-Heaven.
"You misunderstand," the Temple Master said. "This humble Daoist is saying that since the Supremes are forging treasures, they should have fought, right?"
Bie Donglai thought about it seriously, then answered honestly, "No."
His gaze moved back and forth between Jiang Yi and the other two.
"Why did the three of you come here today?"
His train of thought was completely different from that of ordinary people. Every time he did something unexpected, his reactions were not slow.
The Temple Master suddenly changed the topic. "Scholar Bie, I heard that you've been searching for your wife?"
Bie Donglai nodded. "That's right."
"You helped Chen Luoyang time and time again, attacked Scholar Ling, and even fought with Mister Heavenly Secrets, all because you wanted to ask the Supremes for mercy through Chen Luoyang and find out the whereabouts of your wife?" the Temple Master asked.
Bie Donglai didn't feel embarrassed at all. He admitted straightforwardly, "That's right."
"You won't be able to find her in the Mortal Realm," the Temple Master said.
Bie Donglai's eyes widened. He didn't say anything, but he stared at the Temple Master.
The Temple Master answered, "Scholar's wife is in the Qingwei Realm."
When Bie Donglai heard this, his breathing instantly quickened.
