Chapter 139: Transformation God Realm Flees in Terror
The purpose of this trip was achieved, but Xu Xing and Yuan Jun did not leave immediately.
Following Jiang Yuqi, the two arrived at the display stand where the mask gifted by the Pavilion Lord of Listening Rain Pavilion was placed.
"Before the Righteous Path Alliance was founded, the Holy Emperor once held a position at Listening Rain Pavilion. Even back then, his business philosophy was very advanced, which significantly increased Listening Rain Pavilion's revenue..."
Listening Rain Pavilion was a force similar to a merchant association. Before being incorporated into the Righteous Path Alliance, its main business was buying and selling heavenly treasures, Magical Artifacts, elixirs, cultivation techniques, and divine abilities.
Even the now-famous Net Moon Flying Sword on the Central Continent was not worthy of carrying the shoes of the former Listening Rain Pavilion.
According to Jiang Yuqi, after Yuan joined Listening Rain Pavilion, in less than half a year, he revitalized a struggling shop of Listening Rain Pavilion with his advanced business philosophy, grew it, and eventually received an audience with the Pavilion Lord of Listening Rain Pavilion.
"I've heard about this," Yuan Jun explained. "When Yuan took over that shop at Listening Rain Pavilion, his cultivation was already considerable. Many juniors from our Sects were also friends with him, not to mention the hidden assistance from Ling Zu's Disciple."
"The reason that generation's Pavilion Lord of Listening Rain Pavilion met with Yuan should also have taken this into consideration."
His business philosophy might have been one aspect, but Yuan's extensive network was also an important factor.
At this moment, Jiang Yuqi continued her explanation.
"Later, due to an accident, the Holy Emperor and the Pavilion Lord of Listening Rain Pavilion mistakenly entered a dangerous Mystic Realm. Fortunately, they eventually emerged safely."
"After coming out of the Mystic Realm, the Pavilion Lord of Listening Rain Pavilion gifted the mask he had always worn to the Holy Emperor."
"But it was also after that, that the Holy Emperor left Listening Rain Pavilion."
This story sounded surprisingly familiar.
Yuan Jun continued to explain to Xu Xing.
"It was also after coming out of that Mystic Realm that that generation's Pavilion Lord of Listening Rain Pavilion had some conflicts with Ling Zu's Disciple."
"Emm..." Xu Xing pondered for two seconds. "If I'm not mistaken, that generation's Pavilion Lord of Listening Rain Pavilion should have been a woman."
"That's right," Yuan Jun paused, then used a very strange tone. "Dao Brother is quite insightful at this moment."
"Huh?"
Yuan Jun gently turned her head, not replying.
Huh?
...
...
As noon approached, the front hall of the main hall gradually became more crowded.
Jishi Valley, Shenji Lianbao Pavilion, Lingyin Workshop, plus the Body Cultivator from Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect who was already inside, except for the drunk Xiu from Hehuan Sect who should still be recovering from his injuries, all the viewing envoys from the Immortal Sects had appeared here.
Since only the front hall was open to the public, after seeing all the exhibits, Xu Xing and Yuan Jun left the main hall.
"I'm very happy to be your guide," Jiang Yuqi stood in front of the two, smiling.
"Thank you for your trouble," Xu Xing nodded slightly.
"It is my honor to let more people know about the deeds of the Holy Emperor."
"By the way, who is Jiang Yujiu?" Before parting, Xu Xing casually asked.
Jiang Yuqi paused: "Little Jiu... she is my granddaughter."
...
You named your granddaughter that?
...The cultivation world truly has everything.
............
In the evening, at the residence arranged by the Righteous Path Alliance.
Xu Xing stood alone by the window, holding the red jade in his hand.
The dim yellow light spilled over the entire city, making it hard to distinguish whether this was on land or under the sea.
Through this red jade, he had confirmed the locations where Yuan had specifically left items.
Not many, only three places.
One is extremely far away, in one of the most dangerous places on the entire Central Continent - Clear Ruins.
Considering that Yuan's bookshelf contained many materials about Clear Ruins, this was not surprising.
Another place, although not as far as the first, was not too close either - Lingyin Workshop.
It was normal for several Dao Friends to recommend him to go there.
Perhaps it was also related to Ling Zu's Disciple.
And the last place...
It was in this highest council city of the Righteous Path Alliance, within that Council Speaker's Tower!
However, its specific location was blocked by an extremely strict, high-level defense.
"Looks Li Ke I'll have to find a time to go there."
Naturally, Xu Xing couldn't just ignore the things left by his Old friend.
Moreover, according to the system of the Righteous Path Alliance, members of the highest council can only be Combined Dao, and the Chairman is required to be above Combined Dao.
After he gets the things, he will leave, and they won't be able to discover it.
Suddenly, Xu Xing's heart moved, and his gaze fell towards the distance.
That was a towering dark golden high tower, which appeared even more solemn and majestic under the dim yellow light - the Council Speaker's Tower!
But what Xu Xing noticed was not these, but the trace of aura that leaked out.
He hadn't noticed it before.
Tracing the source upwards, he felt that beneath the high tower, several profound and majestic auras were interwoven Li Ke a net, seemingly connected Li Ke a deep sea. The combined terrifying power had far exceeded Combined Dao, and was even faintly above Li Ke and other Star Region Overseers.
"Are they also trying?" Xu Xing said softly.
He was not surprised; it was normal for cultivators to pursue higher Realms.
Below the Seven Great Immortal Sects, the founders of some major Sects of the Righteous Path were originally from their era, and it was indeed possible for them to touch that boundary now.
"I hope they succeed."
If another Dao Friend who has crossed that threshold can appear in the Human Clan, it would naturally be for the better.
Their importance is far beyond what Combined Dao can compare to.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Xing no longer disturbed them.
Shortly after he withdrew his gaze, a terrified voice suddenly came.
"No! I don't want to go to the Starry Sky!"
Following the sound, a streak of long rainbow swept across the sky.
Within the long rainbow was a Transformation God Realm cultivator dressed in luxurious clothes, but with a face full of terror.
Behind him followed several streams of light, also in the Transformation God Realm.
Several white-gold chains constructed of runes were thrown out from the hands of those Transformation God Realm cultivators behind him, Li Ke swimming dragons, rippling with tidal spiritual power in the void, wrapping towards the Transformation God Realm cultivator with a terrified expression.
Clang clang clang!
The chains rattled. The grade of the white-gold rune chains was not low, at least not something a Transformation God Realm cultivator could compare to.
In less than a minute, the chains caught up with the fleeing Transformation God Realm cultivator.
The foremost chain wrapped around his waist, and the remaining chains followed suit, binding his limbs.
Each rune was Li Ke a small insect, wriggling and entering his body, and his entire aura began to drop rapidly as the runes poured in.
"Ah!!!"
A scream echoed through the sky.
His face was contorted, appearing extremely painful.
Ten seconds later!
A Transformation God Realm cultivator, his aura had weakened under the effect of those runes to the point of being Li Ke a Mortal with no cultivation at all.
At this moment, he was dying, seemingly without even the strength to scream.
The white-gold chains continued to wrap around him until he was completely covered from head to toe before stopping.
Then, several cultivators, also in the Transformation God Realm, each holding a chain, hoisted him in mid-air.
Carrying him Li Ke this, they flew towards the Council Speaker's Tower in the center of the city.
Looking from afar, it was as if a predator had wrapped its prey in a cocoon and was taking it back to its nest.
