"Perhaps the True Star Moon Immotals didn't perish at all," the woman said softly.
The woman's voice faintly sounded, causing the three to immediately put away their regretful expressions. They stared at the woman in front of them in a daze.
"You guys should be familiar with the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce, right? Do you guys think of anything now? "
The woman asked Luo Ping and the other two. To be precise, she was asking Luo Ping because she could tell that Luo Ping was the one in charge.
"Could it be that Senior also suspects that the President of the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce, the Star Moon Immortals, is the True Star Moon Immotals who perished 10,000 years ago?"
Hearing the woman's words, Luo Ping woke up abruptly and asked her in return.
The Star Moon Chamber of Commerce had been established 10,000 years ago. After the True Star Moon Immotals perished, it had risen to become one of the top three chambers of commerce in the Cultivation Domain in just 10,000 years. This speed left the other chambers of commerce in the dust. Everyone in the Cultivation Domain was shocked and started to speculate.
After all, the time when the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce had been established and the time when the True Star Moon Immotals had perished was too much of a coincidence. Moreover, the name of the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce was enough to make everyone suspicious.
In addition, when the True Star Moon Immotals had perished 10,000 years ago, his cultivation had already reached the late-stage Insightful Void Stage. If he hadn't perished, 10,000 years would have been enough for him to successfully transcend his tribulation and become a Great Ascension Stage powerhouse.
The President of the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce, the Star Moon Immortals, had never made an appearance when the chamber of commerce was first established. When he suddenly appeared, he used the means of a Great Ascension Stage powerhouse to suppress many chambers of commerce and directly raised the status of the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce.
However, the Star Moon Immortals always wore a black robe and basically no one had seen his true appearance. Therefore, no one knew whether he was the True Star Moon Immortals who had perished back then.
For countless years, rumors of the True Star Moon Immortals not having perished had never stopped spreading in the Cultivation Domain. Luo Ping and the others had naturally heard about it. At this moment, after hearing the woman's reminder, Luo Ping naturally thought of this point.
"I reckon that there aren't many people in the Cultivation Domain who don't suspect this matter. However, it won't be so easy to find the truth of this matter."
"However, things aren't so absolute. As long as we find a key person, we can find out whether the True Star Moon Immortals had perished back then."
Seeing that Luo Ping had hit the nail on the head, the woman spoke again.
"Key person? Who is it? "
Luo Ping couldn't wait to ask. He seemed to have a bad premonition in his heart.
"The Kongming Sect, Xiao Yan!"
The woman answered simply.
Hearing the woman's words, Luo Ping wasn't too surprised because he had already thought of this possibility before.
After all, his Slanting Moon Tristar Sword had been given to him by the old man's master. Luo Ping had always been very puzzled as to how the old man's master had obtained the Slanting Moon Tristar Sword.
He had asked before, but Xiao Yan had only told him that he had obtained it by chance during a trip. He hadn't told him the details.
Later on, Luo Ping had stayed in the Cultivation Domain for a long time and heard that many people suspected that the True Star Moon Immortals hadn't perished. He had started to suspect that his old man's master might know some secrets.
Later on, when the Demons Sect had invaded the Cultivation Domain and there had been no news of Xiao Yan, he had started to worry. Could it be that Xiao Yan had met with some mishap because of the True Star Moon Immortals?
Although Xiao Yan's Natal Spirit Tablet had been fine in the Kongming Sect, Luo Ping was still very worried.
After all, he had already had his suspicions. Therefore, when Luo Ping heard the woman say that the key person was his old man's master, he didn't show too much emotion.
"Senior, how can you be sure that this person has something to do with the True Star Moon Immortals' death?"
Luo Ping asked deliberately.
"Because after the True Star Moon Immortals perished, many people tried to find his Slanting Moon Tristar Sword, but to no avail."
"However, thousands of years later, the Slanting Moon Tristar Sword was obtained by an elder of a third-class sect. How could this not arouse suspicion?"
"Therefore, many people guessed that Xiao Yan must know the truth behind the True Star Moon Immortals' death. Later on, many experts secretly tried to capture Xiao Yan, seize the sword, and interrogate him. However, they were all killed by a mysterious expert. After several times, no one dared to scheme against Xiao Yan anymore."
"After this incident, the people of the Cultivation Domain were even more convinced that the person helping Xiao Yan was the True Star Moon Immortals, the current president of the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce, the Star Moon Immortals."
The woman told Luo Ping everything she knew. Hearing this, Luo Ping was inwardly shocked. This was because Xiao Yan had never told him about these things, and he had never heard of them either.
"Who would have thought that the old man's master was hiding such a secret? It's really not simple. It seems that the disappearance of the old man's master must have something to do with this matter."
Luo Ping was already certain that Xiao Yan's inexplicable disappearance this time was related to the True Star Moon Immortals.
"Then, does Senior mean that the three of us should approach Xiao Yan and obtain information about the True Star Moon Immortals from him?"
Luo Ping tried to ask. After all, the woman mentioned the True Star Moon Immortals and Xiao Yan. Obviously, she wanted to know the truth behind the True Star Moon Immortals' death.
"No, you can't get close to Xiao Yan right now. This is because I've received news that he has been imprisoned by the Valley of the Sacred Sword. Their purpose is to interrogate the True Star Moon Immortals about his death."
As soon as the woman said this, Luo Ping could no longer remain calm. He revealed a rather agitated expression. Although he managed to stabilize his expression in time, the woman still noticed that something was wrong.
"Why are you so agitated? Could it be that you know Xiao Yan? "
The woman stared at Luo Ping with a sharp gaze. Her body released a powerful pressure that enveloped Luo Ping. It seemed that if Luo Ping's answer did not satisfy her, she would immediately attack.
"No, Senior misunderstood. I was just a little agitated when I heard the name of the Valley of the Sacred Sword. If you want me to sneak into such a first-class sect to help you rescue Xiao Yan, then wouldn't I lose my life? I'm just worried."
Luo Ping tried his best to calm his emotions. His brain worked quickly and he thought of a more appropriate excuse. ,
Although the woman still had some doubts after hearing this, she felt that Luo Ping's explanation was quite reasonable. After all, ordinary cultivators were more afraid of first-class sects.
"You think too much. What qualifications do the three of you have to enter the Valley of the Sacred Sword to rescue Xiao Yan?"
"What I want you to do is to spread the news that Xiao Yan has been imprisoned by the Valley of the Sacred Sword. Let everyone in the Cultivation Realm know about this matter. I believe this shouldn't be difficult for you three, right?"
The woman ruthlessly looked down on Luo Ping and the other two. Then, she told them what she wanted them to do. It was actually to spread the news.
"This isn't difficult. Senior's purpose for asking us to do this should be to push the Valley of the Sacred Sword into the heart of the struggle and become the focus of everyone's attention. More importantly, you want to test whether the president of the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce will rescue Xiao Yan."
"Once the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce gets involved in this matter, it is enough to prove that there is an unspeakable secret between the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce and Xiao Yan, as well as the fallen True Star Moon Immotals."
"At that time, not only the Valley of the Sacred Sword, but the entire Cultivation Realm will do everything possible to find out the details of the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce. Senior's move is indeed brilliant."
Luo Ping instantly analyzed the woman's purpose and couldn't help but compliment her again.
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on her face. She said, "Sometimes, being smart isn't a good thing. It is very likely that you will lose your life."
"It is precisely because Senior won't kill me that this junior boldly guesses. Otherwise, this junior wouldn't have said a single word."
Luo Ping replied with a smile. The reason why he had displayed himself like this was to show off his intelligence and value in front of the woman. He wanted the woman to believe that he had the ability to complete the task given to him and reduce her worries as much as possible.
Although the woman wouldn't kill them in the current situation, it would still be very difficult for them to return to the Cultivation Realm.
If they could get some help from the woman, perhaps things would go a little smoother. However, they had to display enough value to make the woman believe that they could complete the task. Only then would she help them.
"Alright, that's the first thing. There's another thing. Listen carefully."
The woman ignored Luo Ping's actions and spoke again.
"Wait."
Luo Ping quickly interrupted the woman and said, "Senior, you didn't say that there were two things for us to do before. Why is there suddenly one more thing?"
"I didn't say that there was only one thing. If you aren't willing, I won't force you. However …"
As the woman spoke, she looked at Luo Ping and the other two with a sinister expression. Her meaning was obvious. If they weren't willing to do it, she would take their lives.
"Willing, willing. Senior, please continue."
Luo Ping waved his hand and indicated for the woman to continue.
"The second thing is for you to help me find two people. Take this. As long as you meet one of the two people, the pointer on this will automatically point to that person. Here."
As the woman spoke, her hand flashed and she took out an item and handed it to Luo Ping. After Luo Ping received the item, he discovered that it was actually a compass-like instrument with a red pointer on it.
"Senior, who are you asking us to find? Shouldn't you at least give us some hints? "
Luo Ping put away the instrument and asked the woman.
"Hints? I don't know if they are still alive. After all, the last time I saw them was thousands of years ago. I don't know anything about their situation now. "
The woman's face revealed a worried expression as she reminisced. Her tone was filled with endless worry and nostalgia.
"Senior, can you project the appearance of the two people thousands of years ago for us to see?"
Luo Ping could only say so.
"Alas, even if I project it to you, it's useless. At that time, the two of them were crying piteously for food."
The woman shook her head and said helplessly.
"Babies!"
"In that case, looking for these two people is not only like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's also uncertain whether they are still alive. This matter really depends on luck."
Luo Ping understood that this matter was completely dependent on luck. In the vast Cultivation Domain, it was extremely difficult to find two people without any hints. Moreover, these two people might not necessarily be alive.
