Chapter 225 Clues, Find the Jade Pendant
Chapter 225 Clues, Find the Jade Pendant
When everyone returned to Zijing Valley, Zijing Zhenren said with a serious face, "Li'er, what exactly happened? Back then, your furnace suddenly exploded while you were refining the elixir, and you died for no apparent reason. Now, you've been reborn. Tell me in detail what you've been through over the past few years."
After saying that, he turned to Fu Zhen and said, "And you, Xing'er. When you were trying to find the truth behind Li'er's death, you suddenly disappeared. I couldn't find any trace of you anywhere."
Talking about this, Guan Yueli and Fu Zhen looked at each other, and then Guan Yueli said seriously: "Master, this is a long story."
Then she told her master about her journey to Earth.
After hearing this, Zijing Zhenren was surprised: "Is there such a magical place in this world?"
Guan Yueli nodded: "Yes, Master, actually I am not originally from the world of cultivation. I accidentally entered the world of cultivation from Earth."
Zijing Zhenren was even more surprised: "Huh? Really? Li'er is from Earth?"
Guan Yueli continued, "I came back this time not only to investigate the truth of what happened back then, but also to rescue my father, who was abducted to the world of cultivation."
Fu Zhen said seriously, "Master, when Xiao Li'er died, we suspected there was something fishy going on within the sect, someone trying to harm Xiao Li'er, but we couldn't figure out what their intentions were. Now, I wonder if it's because of Xiao Li'er's background?"
Zijing Zhenren stroked his beard and paced back and forth. "It's possible. Over the years, I've suspected that something went wrong within the sect. With Li'er's abilities, it's impossible for a mistake to cause an explosion. After Xing'er disappeared, I've been investigating everywhere, and I did find some clues."
Fu Zhen quickly asked, "Master, do you have any suspects?"
Zijing Zhenren sighed, "Alas, I really hope that I am wrong. The mastermind behind this might be your senior brother."
Fu Zhen frowned: "Big Brother? Is it really him?"
Guan Yueli's heart trembled for a moment, and she frowned, "Big Brother? He really has the ability to do something without me noticing."
Zijing Zhenren's eyes were filled with regret. "Before, I wanted to find him to ask clearly, but he suddenly left the valley at night and has not returned since. Tianying is extremely powerful. With his current strength, even I may not be his opponent."
The atmosphere was solemn and everyone was lost in thought.
After a while, Zijing Zhenren slowly said, "No matter what, Tianying is currently the most suspicious, but we can't easily draw conclusions without solid evidence."
Guan Yueli raised her head, her eyes flashing: "Master, what should we do next?"
Zijing Zhenren pondered for a moment and said, "Don't alert the enemy yet. Investigate secretly. Li'er, you and your second senior brother have just returned. First, familiarize yourself with the situation in the valley and see if there is anything unusual."
Guan Yueli and Fu Zhen nodded in agreement.
That night, in Guan Yueli's room.
Guan Yueli, Shen Weixun and Fu Zhen sat together, discussing in low voices.
Fu Zhen frowned and said, "Xiao Li'er, do you believe what Master said? Is Senior Brother really the mastermind behind this?"
Guan Yueli frowned and didn't say anything rashly.
After a while, she said solemnly, "I don't know. Although all the signs point to him, I can't figure out what his purpose is in harming me? How does my background affect him?"
Shen Weixun pondered for a moment: "Perhaps we can find out the daily whereabouts of the eldest brother and the people he contacts, and see if we can find some clues."
Guan Yueli nodded: "Well, I won't make a conclusion easily before I meet him."
The three of them were having a heated discussion when suddenly, a ray of light came in from the window.
Fu Zhen intercepted it immediately. It turned out to be a guiding butterfly made of a talisman paper.
The three of them looked at each other and decided to go and take a look.
Fu Zhen let go of the guiding butterfly, and the guiding butterfly flew away again with a flash.
Several people followed closely.
After leaving the Bauhinia Valley, the guide butterfly flew all the way north.
There is a small valley to the north, and there are many valleys around it, and the terrain is steep.
Bauhinia Valley is the largest one, surrounded by countless small valleys, which are like stars surrounding the moon, surrounding Bauhinia Valley in the middle.
The three of them followed closely behind the guide butterfly and rushed towards the valley.
After arriving in the valley, they carefully surveyed the scene.
Fu Zhen walked in front to lead the way, while Shen Weixun stood in front of Guan Yueli and warned her, "Be careful."
Shen Weixun pointed to some footprints on the ground and said, "Looking at the size and depth of these footprints, more than one person has been here."
Suddenly, Guan Yueli found a broken jade pendant with Xi Hanyun's name engraved on it: "This is my father's jade pendant!"
Fu Zhen's face was solemn: "It seems that your father has indeed been here."
At this moment, Guan Yueli felt a faint breath floating around.
She closed her eyes, sensed carefully, and then walked in one direction.
Deep in the valley, they discovered a hidden cave.
Guan Yueli said softly: "This breath comes from here."
The three of them walked cautiously into the cave, which was filled with a strange mist.
Fu Zhen looked around vigilantly: "Be careful, there might be a trap."
They walked forward slowly, and suddenly, a dark shadow passed by behind them.
Shen Weixun turned around quickly, but saw nothing.
Guan Yueli's heart tightened: "Everyone be careful, this is not a simple matter."
Continuing deeper into the cave, they found some strange runes and a huge sarcophagus.
Fu Zhen looked at the sarcophagus: "What is this?"
Guan Yueli approached the sarcophagus, which was covered with intricate patterns: "This seems to be a seal."
Just as they were about to conduct further research, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out from the cave.
"Hahahaha, you guys are finally here!"
The three of them stood back to back in an instant, looking around vigilantly.
A figure slowly walked out of the darkness, and with the dim light, they could see the person's attire.
The man was wrapped in a huge black cloak with a big hood on his head, which tightly covered his face, making it difficult to see clearly.
This person's outfit is exactly the same as the one who attacked Shen Weixun.
His voice was converted and it was impossible to tell who it belonged to. It sounded hoarse and harsh.
Fu Zhen sneered: "Humph, you coward, since you dare to show yourself, don't even think about getting out alive."
The black-robed man didn't care and snorted coldly: "Just you? And, don't you want to know the whereabouts of your father?"
Guan Yueli could feel that the man in black robe was staring at her with a pair of sinister eyes.
Guan Yueli exuded a chilling coldness, her voice cold and sinister: "You're looking for death!"
Shen Weixun stood silently beside Guan Yueli, the darkness in his eyes like thick ink.
The man in black robes said no more to them, but waved his hand. Suddenly, a dozen more men in black robes dressed in the same way appeared outside the cave.
"Haha, just enjoy the hospitality of us black-robed people!"
