Chapter 3797: Honesty

When she heard him mention the Space-purging Ancestor’s death, the Flying Leaf Ancestor was overcome with deep sorrow. “Just recently, the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master went missing for no reason. We suspected that an extremely powerful and mysterious expert killed them, which was why our Energy-devouring Furnace and Heaven-locking Chains ended up in the hands of others. Now, in order to retrieve these two high quality god artifacts, senior brother Space-purging has met a terrible end soon after leaving the sect. Senior brother Transcension, do you think senior brother Space-purging was killed by the mysterious expert?”

The Transcension Ancestor’s eyes flickered with uncertainty. He did not say anything.

“However, there is something that perplexes me. What grievances does that mysterious expert have with our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment? Why were they so vicious against senior brother Space-purging. If it’s just for the sake of two high quality god artifacts, that would be completely unnecessary. At most, we’ll just give up on the Energy-devouring Furnace and the Heaven-locking Chains. The two high quality god artifacts may be precious, but they are not comparable to senior brother Space-purging,” the Flying Leaf Ancestor said sadly.

“Junior sister Flying Leaf, tell me about the situation over these in detail,” said the Transcension Ancestor.

Afterwards, the Flying Leaf Ancestor told him everything that she saw.

The Transcension Ancestor sank into his thoughts. After quite a while, he slowly said, “According to what you’ve said, it should be a treasure of startling power or a supreme formation at an extremely high level.”

“That’s because if the enemy was a powerful Immortal Exalt, why would they lie in hiding? Junior brother Space-purging grasps the Laws of Space. Fleeing is his specialty, yet in the end, he could not even escape and was slain so quickly. Even the greatest expert of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, the Warring Old Freak, probably can’t accomplish such a feat.”

“Senior brother Transcension, what do we do now?” the Flying Leaf Ancestor asked.

“Although I suspect that the mysterious expert who killed junior brother Space-purging is the same mysterious figure that saved the Immortal Rising City, I’m not on the Hall Brilliance Heaven currently, so we can only set aside junior brother Space-purging’s death for now,” said the Transcension Ancestor.

“Don’t tell me we’re not going to be avenging him?” The Flying Leaf Ancestor refused to accept that.

“Of course, we’ll avenge him. We’ll talk about this once I finish forging the primary banner of the Fiend Soul Banners. Hasn’t the Warring Old Freak gathered a bunch of people and is currently searching across the entire Hall Brilliance Heaven for clues regarding the Fiend Soul Banner? We can shift all the attention over to the mysterious figure and say that he is the greatest suspect. The Warring Old Freak will definitely get to the bottom of this person’s identity, and we’ll be able to learn their identity through this. I’d like to see exactly who they are,” the Transcension Ancestor said frigidly.

“Leave this to me, senior brother Transcension.” Coldness flashed through the Flying Leaf Ancestor’s eyes. Her suspicions that the mysterious expert who killed the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master was actually the murderer of the Space-purging Ancestor grew deeper.

“Through these various signs, we’ve already discovered that a mysterious expert stands behind these smaller organisations. All of their actions are actually in service of the mysterious expert. Unfortunately, we’ve tried everything that we can, but we haven’t been able to find out who it is behind them, nor have we found any connections to the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment.”

“So many of the Immortal Exalts of the Hall Brilliance Heaven have gathered together. With your exceptional abilities, you’ve actually found nothing?” Jian Chen furrowed his brows. He was uncertain inside. When the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt extracted this information, he did not encounter any particularly great difficulties.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu nodded. “That’s the situation. We’ve tried everything that we can. We even used soul-searching techniques, but we’ve still found nothing. All of these people have had a vicious demonic secret technique planted in their souls. Once their souls are searched, they’ll ignite automatically and perish in just a few seconds.”

“Even the greatest expert of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, senior Warring, is powerless over this.”

Jian Chen fell silent.

“There’s something else important that you should know, fellow. Some people suspect that the same person is behind the Void-perceiving Ancestor and the Wukun Master’s disappearance as the Space-purging Ancestor’s death. They believe that the vicious demonic artifact also originates from that person,” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu said sternly.

“In other words, they’ll come and find me very soon?” Jian Chen said softly. That was indeed troublesome.

“When it comes to these major issues of principle, I won’t be able to cover for you any further. Please forgive me, fellow.” Immortal Exalt Tan Yu clasped his fist apologetically.

“When that actually happens, you only need to tell the truth,” Jian Chen said. He was also aware that by then, if Immortal Exalt Tan Yu tried to keep this hidden, the Immortal Rising City would definitely face criticism. It could even be used by those with ulterior motives to go after the city.

Immortal Exalt Tan Yu did not ask Jian Chen about the details of killing the Space-purging Ancestor. He left in a hurry after telling him some news.

With Immortal Exalt Tan Yu’s departure, Jian Chen immediately sent a wisp of his soul inside the Primeval Divine Hall. He found the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt and asked him about this.
