Zhi Guang Zen Master and Miao Tong were modest in their words, but they also praised Li Yeyu in their hearts.
In fact, not only Li Yeyu, but the other student of Nine Peaks Academy, Qian Haofeng, was also not easy to deal with.
He was younger than Li Yeyu, but he had already become a Confucian Grandmaster.
Li Yeyu was very polite. He bowed to Zhi Guang Zen Master and Miao Tong. "Seniors, please give me some advice."
After sitting for a while, the three of them said goodbye to Shen Hao and left for the east.
After sitting for a while, Shen Hao left the third peak and went to the first peak.
There, the dean of Nine Peaks Academy and the head of the Shen family, Shen Tianxian, was waiting for him calmly.
"I'll leave this to you," Shen Tianxian said. "I have to go to the Saint Evolving Mansion."
Shen Hao replied respectfully, "Yes, father."
Shen Tianxian got up and walked outside. When he reached the door, he paused and asked, "What do you think of Chang 'an?"
"I don't know. Since ancient times, there have been many powerhouses who suddenly disappeared. As long as they haven't reached the end of their lifespan, they could hide in the Eastern Border and suddenly appear in the Jianghu."
Slowly, Shen Hao said, "We can't judge from this. It must be He Rong or someone else from the Twelve Kings of Hell."
Shen Tianxian didn't say anything. He stood quietly with his hands behind his back.
Shen Hao was silent for a moment before he continued, "Based on the logic of the matter, but … in my heart, I have the same premonition as you."
Shen Tianxian still didn't say anything. He seemed to be thinking.
"However, I'm worried that if we pay too much attention to this, we might overlook other things and make a wrong judgment," Shen Hao said.
Slowly, Shen Tianxian nodded. "Just be careful."
After that, he walked out of the door and disappeared.
Shen Hao sent him off respectfully and returned to the third peak.
He sat in his study and didn't say anything for a long time.
On the table, ink suddenly appeared on the surface of a piece of white paper.
As Shen Hao's eyes flashed, there seemed to be an invisible pencil falling on the paper and sketching.
Two portraits appeared on the left and the middle of the white paper one after another. The right part remained blank.
The portrait of the woman on the left was beautiful and elegant. Her eyes seemed to be shining through the paper.
His gaze seemed gentle, but it faintly revealed sharpness and loneliness.
The middle person was a young girl in her teens. Her facial features looked rather ordinary.
However, his eyes revealed a gaze similar to that of the woman on the left.
However, in comparison, he was less fierce and more calm than the woman.
This calm gaze did not seem to match the girl's appearance in her teens.
Shen Hao's gaze moved and finally fell on the blank right side of the paper. He fell into deep thought.
At the same time, the Azure Dragon School, one of the famous Daoist sects in the Central Plains that was second only to the Tai Qing Palace and the Righteous Sect, had a guest visit.
"Isn't Fellow Daoist Yun going to guard your sect? What brings you here? "
The head of the Azure Dragon School, "Nine Firmaments Imperial Dragon" Hao Ning, received the guests from the Supreme Purity Palace.
The newcomer was the Supreme Purity Palace's elder, Daoist Yun Luo.
After greeting him, Daoist Yun Luo said, "I came here to ask for your help."
"For the Righteous Sect?" Daoist Hao asked.
Daoist Yun Luo shook his head, "The Headmaster personally went to the Righteous Sect. There is no need to trouble Fellow Daoist to help. However, because the Righteous Sect involves too much of our sect's energy, our sect's experts have no time to spare. Therefore, I came to ask for Fellow Daoist's help."
Hao Ning asked, "What do you mean?"
Daoist Yun Luo answered, "Recently, a city called Chang 'an has risen in the Eastern Border. It unified the seven countries of the Eastern Border. Some of our sect's disciples who were traveling outside were lost there."
Hao Ning heard this and was somewhat surprised.
The Eastern Border was barren and lacked powerful cultivators.
Hao Ning did not care much if someone could unify the seven countries of the Eastern Border.
However, if someone from the Supreme Purity Palace was lost there, it meant that the person who unified the Eastern Border was not ordinary.
"I wonder which disciple of your sect was lost in the Eastern Border?" Hao Ning asked.
Daoist Yun Luo answered, "It was Martial Uncle Qing He's last disciple, Junior Gu Song."
Hao Ning nodded slightly.
He had heard of Gu Song. He was a direct disciple of the Supreme Purity Palace who had already cultivated the Nascent Soul.
If even he was lost in the Eastern Border, it meant that the people there were indeed not ordinary people.
"Daoist Yun Luo, do you know the origin of the city lord of Chang 'an?" Hao Ning asked.
Daoist Yun Luo answered, "I'm not sure yet, but it may be related to the Twelve Kings of Hell in the past."
"Twelve Kings of Hell?"
Hao Ning's expression suddenly became serious when he heard these words.
His teacher, who was also the previous Sect Leader of the Azure Dragon School, died in the hands of one of the Twelve Kings of Hell.
"Thirty years ago, they suffered a great calamity, but there may be people who reincarnated and cultivated again." Daoist Yun Luo answered.
Hao Ning said in a low voice, "We must annihilate them completely before they make a comeback."
"We are not sure about the specific truth at the moment. Daoist Brother, please be patient."
Daoist Yun Luo said, "I came here to ask for your help. After we find out the truth of the case together, we will make the next decision."
Hao Ning pondered for a moment, "If it's really the Twelve Kings of Hell, even if they reincarnated and cultivated again, they must not be underestimated."
He found the Azure Dragon School's Elder Tong Kai and told him the whole story. Then, he ordered, "Junior Brother Tong, follow Daoist Yun Luo to find out the truth of Chang 'an. I will start refining the Azure Dragon Hammer in a few days."
Tong Kai bowed solemnly, "Yes, Senior Brother."
Daoist Yun Luo also said, "That's the best."
He exchanged a few more words with Hao Ning and then left. Tong Kai saw him out and followed him on the road.
Hao Ning went to the secret room and looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him. He formed a spell with one hand and pointed at the furnace with the other.
Then, streaks of green light flew into the furnace.
The green furnace fire suddenly burned brightly, illuminating Hao Ning's face with a green color.
…
While Daoist Yun Luo was running around the Azure Dragon School, Monk Zhi Guang and the other two had also arrived at the coastal area of the Eastern Border of the Central Plains.
Here, they saw another disciple of the Third Peak of the Nine Peaks Academy, Qian Haofeng.
"Haofeng, where are they?" Li Yeyu asked Qian Haofeng.
Qian Haofeng nodded, "This way."
He brought Li Yeyu, Monk Zhi Guang, and Master Miao Tong of the Hongping Academy to a small city by the Eastern Border of the Central Plains.
They came to a quiet courtyard in the city.
Li Yeyu nodded at Qian Haofeng. Qian Haofeng then brought Monk Zhi Guang and Miao Tong to the secret room in the back hall.
Li Yeyu himself came to the front hall of the house.
In the front hall, a middle-aged man was waiting.
Although he had been waiting for a long time, the man was still calm.
When he saw Li Yeyu enter, he quickly stood up to welcome him.
"Sit." Li Yeyu gestured for him to rise. After both of them sat down, he looked at the middle-aged man, "You are from the Eastern Border?"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, "I am Ji Hong of the Great Zhou Dynasty of the Eastern Border."
He was the only surviving Eighth Level master in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ji Hong, Prince of Longling, and the younger brother of Ji Fang.
After the royal family of Western Zhou and Western Chu fled to the sea, Ji Hong began to search for the legendary Central Plains.
It was their only hope.
Only a powerful visitor from the Central Plains could defeat Chang 'an.
They had disciples who were killed in Chang 'an, so they naturally wanted revenge.
After that, the Eastern Border would be barren in their eyes and they would look down on it.
The royal family of Western Zhou could make a comeback.
Naturally, there were many obstacles and dangers along the way, but the Western Zhou people had no other choice.
After many efforts, Ji Hong finally made it to the Central Plains alive. Then, he tried his best to find the sect of Monk Faxin, who had once preached in the Western Zhou, and the Immortal of the Tai Qing Palace that Zhang Bining, the sect leader of the Purple City Mountain, had once mentioned.
In the end, he failed to find the Tai Qing Palace and was discovered by the Nine Peaks Academy.
The Nine Peaks Academy was paying attention to the Eastern Border and was overjoyed.
Because of Faxin and his disciple, the Nine Peaks Academy was looking for masters to help and share the risk, so they invited the monks of the Lingguang Temple.
In the front hall, Li Yeyu made sure that Ji Hong couldn't hear the voices from the back hall.
In the back hall, Qian Haofeng told Zen Master Zhi Guang and Miao Tong what he had asked earlier.
"There are no masters in the Eastern Border. Chang 'an only used a few Ninth Level cultivators to wipe out the local forces."
"Then his information is indeed worthless." Zen Master Zhi Guang shook his head.
Many people in Western Zhou knew that Faxin had been to the Central Plains.
Only a few people knew that Master Fa Ning was looking for Faxin and his disciple.
However, the whereabouts of this person who had cultivated the Dharmakaya of Buddhism were unknown, just like Dharma Xin and his disciple.
Chang 'an could suppress Tenth Level cultivators and make it impossible for them to escape.
Li Yeyu and Qian Haofeng didn't hide it from them.
Other than Zhang Zhonghang who was at the Eighth Level, Liao Ping, a Confucian Grandmaster, was also missing.
"This person is still valuable. Later on, we'll go to the Eastern Border. It'll be more convenient with a local guide," Qian Haofeng said.
Zen Master Zhi Guang and Miao Tong nodded. "That's right."
In the front hall, Li Yeyu also nodded to Ji Hong. "I'll go to the Eastern Border with you later."
Ji Hong was overjoyed when he heard the news. He thanked Li Yeyu profusely.
Li Yeyu returned to the back hall. "The most important thing for us to do this time is to investigate Chang 'an's background. Then, we'll report to our teacher and make further plans. What do you think?"
"This is a wise decision. I have no objections," Miao Tong said.
Although Zen Master Zhi Guang was worried about Fa Ning and Faxin, he still nodded. "I also agree with Mr. Li's idea."
Therefore, in order to hide, they didn't bring more people. They set off with Ji Hong in their group of four.
The four Ninth Level cultivators crossed the Huang Sea as if they were walking on flat ground.
Ji Hong was taken care of by them. He didn't have to face as many dangers as before.
They crossed the vast sea and gradually approached the Western Sea of the Eastern Border.
However, when they reached the island where the Western Zhou royal family was hiding, they couldn't find anyone else.
Ji Hong knew that they moved frequently. However, he didn't get any reply even after searching for a few places or trying to contact them.
