Three days later.
Lu An had returned from training outside and reported to his family. Because the King Crocodile Clan had won the war, he had just gone to the King City of the Infinite Desert to meet the Young Patriarch of the Flaming Lion Clan, Shaxiong. There was no problem with this meeting. Both Lu An and Liu Yi were convinced that Shaxiong really wanted to cooperate.
No matter what Shaxiong's purpose was, this cooperation was definitely a good thing for humans and definitely not a bad thing for the Flaming Lion Clan. Shaxiong's behavior was like buying insurance for the Flaming Lion Clan. Even if the Hachiko clan returned in the future and humans made a comeback, the Flaming Lion Clan would not be exterminated.
In this meeting, Shaxiong did not give Lu An any more information. After all, the news of the King Crocodile Clan's extermination was very big. No matter what, it was still a top clan in the Extreme South Sea Region. It had a huge impact on the other clans in the Extreme South Sea Region, not to mention the third-rate clans outside the Extreme South Sea Region. Because of this matter, the Strange Beast Alliance, which had been somewhat scattered and fighting on their own, once again united. They held a meeting to discuss how to deal with this situation. Lu An wouldn't have much of a chance to get any information in the near future.
However, it did not matter if he did not get any information. The Ice Fire Alliance now had a big goal to achieve, which was the Guang You Sect.
After Lu An told Lu An about his meeting with Shaxiong, Liu Yi handed him a piece of paper and said seriously, "This is the information we collected about Fang Xuan in the past three days. There are confirmed and unconfirmed sources, but the credibility is not low. Take a look."
Lu An took the paper and quickly read the contents.
Fang Xuan's age was unknown, but she had been in the Mountain Opening Sect for two hundred years. When Fang Xuan first entered the Mountain Opening Sect, she was already a Level Eight Heavenly Master. After a hundred years of cultivation, she became a Level Nine Heavenly Master. She had been a Level Nine Heavenly Master for a hundred years and was considered very young. After becoming a Level Nine Heavenly Master, she became the Deputy Sect Master and did a lot of things for the Mountain Opening Sect. She had done both good and bad things, but she had never done anything notorious. She usually kept a low profile, but she was not an iceberg. She was a good person, and the Heavenly Masters from other sects who had interacted with her felt that she was a good person.
It was also because of this that some people felt that it was a pity for Fang Xuan to join the Mountain Opening Sect, such as Li Tang.
The leader of the First Mountain Gate, Chu Shanchuan, was an old pervert. He had a good personal relationship with Wang Hong and had once pestered Li Tang. Even if the other party was a Level Nine Heavenly Master, Li Tang would definitely not look at the other party in the eye. He had even attacked Chu Shanchuan before Chu Shanchuan was willing to give up and did not dare to pester Li Tang anymore.
Although Fang Xuan was not as beautiful as Li Tang, she was still considered a beauty. Furthermore, she was a Level Nine Heavenly Master. It was inevitable that people would think too much about her staying beside this old pervert. It would be strange if Chu Shanchuan let Fang Xuan go, but the problem was that there had been no trouble at the opening of the mountain gate, and Fang Xuan had been staying in the mountain gate safely, which was very strange.
There was another strange thing. Everyone knew that Wan Guang Sect's Wang Hong and Kai Shan Sect's Chu Shanchuan were on good terms, but they did not join the same camp. Wan Guang Sect went to the camp of Ye Fire Sect, but Kai Shan Sect went to the camp of Guang You Sect. When this news came out, everyone was really surprised. It should be known that Guang You Sect and Wan Guang Sect had fought before. Even if they were separated, they should not join two opposing camps!
These were all confirmed news, and the news that was not confirmed … was very interesting.
Liu Yi personally asked Madam Xu. After all, she used to be the core elder of Wan Guang Sect and Wang Hong's wife in name, so she must know more. Wang Hong did have a good personal relationship with Chu Shanchuan. Chu Shanchuan often went to Wan Guang Sect to seek pleasure. Wang Hong was naturally willing to rope in a friend with a woman. In fact, even Madam Xu herself had accompanied Chu Shanchuan, and that was why she got more news.
Fang Xuan, when she first entered the Mountain Gate, was already at the peak of Level Eight, and was only one step away from Level Nine Heavenly Master.
Liu Yi was very surprised, just like Madam Xu when she heard the news. If this was the case, it was obvious that there was a strong purpose behind it, and it looked like it was done specifically to become the head of the Mountain Gate. If this kind of thing happened to other sects, they would be extremely careful and even not allow Fang Xuan to enter the sect, even if they might have to give up a Level Nine Heavenly Master. But Chu Shanchuan was different. He directly accepted this woman into the sect and trained her with all his strength.
Yes, Madam Xu heard from Chu Shanchuan that Fang Xuan was his woman. It should be known that Madam Xu heard this sentence 20 years ago, and Fang Xuan was already the deputy head.
Then there was the problem. Since Fang Xuan was Chu Shanchuan's woman, according to common sense, she must be Chu Shanchuan's confidant. Since Fang Xuan helped Su Keming to set up the situation, she must have gotten Chu Shanchuan's permission. But … there was no blood feud between the Mountain Gate and the Ice Fire League. Even if the Mountain Gate was in Guang You Sect's camp, the Mountain Gate was not there when the two sides declared war. There was no real hatred at all. Why would Chu Shanchuan risk offending Fu Yu to help Guang You Sect?
In order to solve this doubt, Liu Yi sent Bian Qingliu and Xu Yunyan to the Mountain Gate to communicate. There were also people from other sects, including Yin Yang Divine Sect, Sky Devouring Sect and Earth Sect. There was no reason for the Mountain Gate to refuse. Everyone even saw Chu Shanchuan himself, and Bian Qingliu and Xu Yunyan were the main questions.
After the two came back, they described the scene to Liu Yi and told their own judgment — Chu Shanchuan strongly denied involvement in this matter, and did not seem to be lying.
If this was the case, it proved that Fang Xuan had an extraordinary relationship with Guang You Sect.
However, if Su Keming dared to let Fang Xuan participate in this matter, it meant that he was absolutely confident that their relationship would not be exposed. That year, when Fang Xuan had just entered the Mountain Gate, Chu Shanchuan had investigated Fang Xuan's background thoroughly, but he couldn't find any flaws. Today, the Eight Ancient Continents were occupied by strange beasts, and he couldn't find any clues before Fang Xuan had entered the Mountain Gate. It was too difficult to investigate.
The simplest way, and also the only way … was to ask the person involved.
Fang Xuan insisted that she hadn't done anything, which was exactly the same as what Su Keming had said in the sect meeting three days ago. However, Liu Yi believed that Su Keming had done it, so Fang Xuan must be lying.
"Do you want me to catch her and ask her?" Yue Rong, who was sitting on a chair and playing with her folding fan, suddenly spoke up.
Lu An and Liu Yi were bewildered, then shook their heads. Yue Rong was here to protect the seven members of the family. That was all. Letting Yue Rong take action three days ago had already violated Yin Lin's order. They couldn't let Yue Rong take action again.
Thus … this matter had come to a deadlock.
Liu Yi could only think of a solution. Lu An didn't want to waste any time. After meeting with his family, he left to cultivate outside.
After two hours …
It was late at night. The ice wheel was hanging high in the sky. There were no clouds in the sky. The moonlight shone on the ground, including Lu An, who was standing on the plain.
Lu An had just killed two rank 8 strange beasts. Although it wasn't meaningful to kill enemies at the same realm, as long as he was outside, the strong sense of danger was still helpful to his cultivation. Especially when he was cultivating under the moonlight, the sense of danger was more obvious. Under such pressure, he could concentrate more. At this moment, he was constantly using his soul and space power on the plain. The two powers appeared at the same time, trying to fuse together as if he wanted to find the connection between his soul and space power.
On the plain, booming noises arose unceasingly. Most of them were the sounds of explosions. It wasn't Lu An's intention, but the loud noises of his failed experiments. Such loud noises had occurred more than ten thousand times in just three days. Lu An had long been accustomed to it and didn't think there was any problem at all. If there weren't such failures, he wouldn't be able to confirm whether the space's calculations were correct or not.
Lu An always felt that he was lacking something in the exploration of space power. He even felt that his space calculations had exceeded his strength … In other words, the failure wasn't a mistake in his calculations, but that his strength wasn't enough to support his calculations.
Even if a rank 8 Heavenly Master could break space and turn it into chaos, he still couldn't survive in a chaotic space for a long time, let alone explore the true meaning of chaotic space. The space calculations weren't just about stabilizing space. There were also the rules of chaotic space, including the ability to return from chaotic space to real space.
Under the moonlight, Lu An continued to try, and even after half an hour, he still didn't stop.
However, right at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded out from behind Lu An, and it was extremely sudden and without any warning!
"I finally found you."
