"One of us?" Tensei frowned. Since when did he and the Imperial Beast Sect become one of them?
Who was the one who said that?
While Tensei was puzzled, a stooped old man suddenly appeared and stood between Dong Yang and Tensei. He faced Tensei and bowed slightly.
"May I know who you are?" Tensei bowed slightly and returned the greeting.
The old man's face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were shining brightly. He was not in a hurry to answer Tian Chen. Instead, he turned to look at the frozen Dong Yang. He did not do anything, but Dong Yang had already regained his freedom.
Once he regained his freedom, Dong Yang hurriedly bowed and said, "Dong Yang greets the Clan Leader!"
Hearing this, Tensei raised his eyebrows. Clan Leader? Could he be one of the 72 Clan Leaders of the Imperial Palace?
"You may leave first. I have something to say to Master Tensei." The old man's voice was calm but there was an unquestionable tone to it.
Dong Yang did not dare to disobey and hurriedly left.
The old man then bowed to Tensei again and smiled. "Xie Xiao, Clan Leader of the Imperial Palace's Sorrow Hall, greets Uncle-Master! Xie Xiao greets Uncle-Master on behalf of Master! "
Tensei was stunned. This old man was Second Senior Brother's disciple?
Tensei could not see through the old man's cultivation. He seemed to have reached the Martial Sage Realm but lacked the Holy Aura of a Martial Sage. It was obvious that he had not reached the Martial Sage Realm yet. It was strange.
Seeing that Tensei was silent, Xie Xiao smiled and gestured, "Uncle-Master, please follow me."
Tensei did not think too much and followed the old man. His mind was on the Universe Tower. Seeing that Li Xueyan was not cultivating, he asked, "Xueyan, do you know Xie Xiao?"
Li Xueyan looked up and seemed to have just realized that she was in the Universe Tower. She hurriedly said, "Of course I know him. He is the Clan Leader's third disciple. You met him? Let me out quickly. "
"So that's how it is. Let's talk about it later." Tensei said as he collected his thoughts and sized up Xie Xiao.
In a few breaths' time, Xie Xiao led Tensei to the ruined hall. Xie Xiao took out a jade talisman and placed it on the transmission array, smiling as she said, "Martial Uncle, Palace Master Bei has been waiting for you, please!"
Palace Master Bei was, of course, Bei Yidao.
After learning about Xie Xiao's identity from Li Xueyan, Tensei didn't think too much and stepped into the teleportation circle with Xie Xiao. As the teleportation circle was activated, the scenery before them changed again.
After a few breaths, the scenery in front of him stabilized. What he saw was the towering figure of Bei Yidao.
Bei Yidao chuckled and said, "Hehe, you're pretty lucky, kid. You've actually subdued the Demon-Sealing Sect!"
Tensei casually swept a glance at the main hall and also smiled as he said, "Are the Imperial Palace's teleportation arrays built in the main hall?"
Bei Yidao shook his head and smiled, "Where's my good daughter?"
Tensei took out the Yin Yang Pagoda's core and said, "She's cultivating inside. Senior Bei, can I ask you if you can give me the Imperial Palace's three Yin Yang Pagoda?"
Without waiting for Bei Yidao's reply, Xie Xiao hurriedly took out a pagoda and respectfully handed it to Tensei, "Martial Uncle, the three Yin Yang Pagoda are in the hands of my three martial brothers, please accept this one!"
Tensei's eyes lit up, flipping his hand and taking out a jade bottle, he said with a smile, "Since that's the case, you should accept my gift too."
Xie Xiao hurriedly refused, but Bei Yidao teased, "Hall Master Xie Xiao, you can't refuse an elder's gift, why don't you accept it?"
Xie Xiao was speechless and didn't refuse again.
"We'll talk about the other two later. Since you're here, I'm afraid you should follow me to see Li Wen Cheng. His condition is not good!" Bei Yidao put away the teasing expression on his face and turned serious.
Tensei frowned slightly. After Second Martial Brother was poisoned by the Nether Poison, he went into seclusion in the forbidden grounds and no one could enter. Could it be that Bei Yidao had a way to enter?
Walking out of the main hall, Tensei saw snowflakes dancing in the sky and the ground was covered in silver. Tensei couldn't help but be surprised. Where exactly was the Imperial Palace's headquarters located? It was actually a scene of winter!
Bei Yidao stepped into the air, Xie Xiao and Tensei hurriedly followed behind. They flew past a mountain range of palaces and finally stopped in front of a wooden house.
Tensei was even more confused. Didn't Li Xueyan say that Li Wen Cheng went into seclusion in the forbidden grounds? This wooden house obviously couldn't be the forbidden grounds!
In Tensei's confusion, Bei Yidao stretched out his right hand and drew a line with his left hand. Blood gushed out and floated towards the wooden house.
"Others think that the forbidden grounds are closed and can't be entered. They don't know that only my blood can open it. Only Xie Xiao knows about this." Bei Yidao said. The wooden house disappeared and turned into a dark whirlpool.
Bei Yidao heaved a sigh of relief. He looked around and said, "I've seen Saint Shen Yue. She said that you're the only one who can save Li Wencheng. Tianchen, I'm counting on you."
After that, Bei Yidao turned around and stepped into the whirlpool.
Tensei's expression was complicated. Second Martial Brother was the most trustworthy person, but he was poisoned by the Nether Poison. As for the other Martial Brothers, except for Eighth Martial Brother, he didn't know where the others were.
Ten thousand years had passed. He didn't know what would happen when he saw Second Martial Brother again!
What he wanted to know, he didn't know if he could get it from Second Martial Brother.
Calming himself down, Tian Chen took a deep breath and stepped into the vortex. What entered his eyes was a cave that stretched as far as the eye could see, filled with vigorous Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
"Xie Xiao, you stay here." Bei Yidao said casually and led Tensei forward.
After walking for more than ten miles, the front suddenly opened up and turned into an underground hall. In the center of the hall, a beam of light fell from the sky and formed a pillar of light. In the pillar of light, a familiar figure sat cross-legged in the air.
"Second Martial Brother!" Seeing the familiar figure, even though Tensei was prepared, his expression became complicated again.
Bei Yidao didn't disturb him and let Tensei silently stare at Li Wen Cheng in the pillar of light.
After a long time, Tensei took a deep breath again and bowed to the figure in the pillar of light. "Martial Brother, I'm back!"
In the pillar of light, the middle-aged Li Wen Cheng had an ordinary appearance, but his features were clear. However, his face was covered with black Qi, which was faintly emitted.
As if he heard Tensei's voice, Li Wen Cheng's fingers on his knees moved slightly, but he didn't respond further.
"Sigh, the Nether Poison is deep in the soul and can't be cured by divine medicine. Now that the Nether Poison in Brother Wen Cheng has broken out, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on much longer." Bei Yidao shook his head and sighed helplessly.
Tensei clenched his fists and slowly relaxed them after a long time. "Did you find out who poisoned him?"
Bei Yidao shook his head. "I wasn't there at the time, so it was very troublesome to find out. After many twists and turns, the suspects were finally determined to be his three disciples."
"Even the Divine Moon Saint couldn't deduce the culprit. I can't be sure either. After all, the position of Palace Master was forced on me by Brother Wen Cheng many years ago. The three of them have no motive. I really can't think of anything that would make them do it."
Tensei took a deep breath and looked at Second Martial Brother. He murmured, "Save Second Martial Brother and the truth will be revealed!"
