Chapter 1814: Chapter 1814: Investigating Nan Tingfeng! (5/7)

The fight for the Sun and Moon Token has reached its conclusion.

Basically, all the relic sites have been settled.

Those who obtained the Sun and Moon Token are escorted out by major factions, while those from weaker factions or rogue cultivators often use secret techniques or formations to escape quickly.

The Sun and Moon Token is the sole ticket to enter the Chaos Divine Dynasty, a pass to the Core Land.

The Chaos Divine Dynasty, a force that almost unified the entire Chaos Realm millions of years ago, was established in the golden age of martial arts civilization. This speaks to the immense opportunities it holds within.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the Core Land of the Chaos Divine Dynasty represents the most significant known fortune in the Chaos Realm. A single stroke of luck from it could elevate an individual, bringing prosperity even to their kin and followers.

Naturally, many factions have positioned people outside waiting to steal the Sun and Moon Token.

Despite taking precautions, many rogue cultivators or those tied to weaker factions still end up losing their Tokens to top factions.

There’s no code of honor, nor is there the supposed magnanimity of those in higher positions.

The Chaos Realm is fundamentally a place where the pursuit of profit overshadows everything.

Honor?

Magnanimity?

Ha, what nonsense is that?

However,

After leaving the relic site, Ye Qiubai and the others immediately used the Directional Sky Thunder Escape Talisman to teleport themselves to a pre-arranged teleportation array outside the relic grounds. From there, they activated the teleportation array again to leave the vicinity of the relic.

The meeting point was the current base of operations for the Dark Domain.

Xu Chen was also brought along by Xu Yeming, though throughout the journey, his senses and vision were deliberately obscured, ensuring he wouldn’t learn the exact location of the Dark Domain’s base.

Xu Yeming had only agreed to cooperate with Xu Chen to eliminate the rebels within the Xu Family and Xuanyuan Clan, but ultimately Xu Chen remained a member of the Xu Family.

One of the Dark Domain bases.

Situated in the extreme eastern part of the Cangxuan Continent.

A desolate place surrounded by countless mutated beasts. Anyone venturing within would undoubtedly be attacked by these creatures, serving as natural sentries.

At this moment,

Ye Qiubai and the others had all gathered here.

Liu Ziru, having received word, had arrived ahead of time to join them.

After listening to everyone recount their encounters within their respective relic sites,

Liu Ziru displayed his years of expertise as a Five Star Executor. In mere moments, he summarized the gathered intelligence and integrated it with the known information from the Dark Domain.

"So, it seems our intelligence was correct. Since building Ascension Platforms across various parts of the Chaos Realm, the Immortal Realm has already been preparing for a major operation," Liu Ziru said with a frown.

The Immortal Realm was a target that Lu Changsheng had emphasized keeping a close watch on. While the mastermind behind the scenes might have belittled the Immortal Realm, all current clues pointed to it, leaving no choice but to investigate from there.

"It’s likely that the opening of the Chaos Divine Dynasty’s Core Land will mark the beginning of the Immortal Realm’s plan," he observed, looking at Ye Qiubai and the others. "You all need to prepare as well. Historically, the Immortal Realm rarely makes a move, but when they do, it’s always significant and meticulously planned."

At this moment, Hong Ying interjected, "Uncle Liu, have you heard of someone named Chu Yan?"

"Chu Yan?"

Not only Liu Ziru but even Xu Chen and the others paused in surprise.

Hong Ying then recounted the details concerning Chu Yan.

Mu Wan’er teased with a giggle, "Sister Hong Ying, what’s strange about that? Couldn’t it just be that your charm is too overwhelming, and he’s smitten at first sight?"

Hong Ying shook her head and replied, "His intentions are too obvious."

What kind of person approaches and immediately proposes becoming Taoist companions?

Unless Chu Yan was the type to cultivate dual cultivation techniques or was simply driven by lustful desires for every woman.

Liu Ziru stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Chu Yan... There is a Chu Family in the Cangxuan Continent, though I’ve never heard of a Chu Yan among them."

Ye Qiubai remarked calmly, "We’ll find out soon enough. Since he seized Sister Hong Ying’s Sun and Moon Token, he’ll definitely head to the Core Land."

At the side, Mu Fusheng furrowed his brow and added, "And then there’s Nan Tingfeng."

All the members of The Cottage had managed to secure Sun and Moon Tokens, except Hong Ying, the second senior sister of The Cottage, whose token had been stolen. While Nan Tingfeng had cleverly concealed his strength to enter the relic site, stealing her token was unacceptable!

Discuss rules and fairness now?

When it comes to protecting their own, such issues are non-negotiable.

Beside Mu Fusheng, Jiu Bailu chimed in, "Nan Tingfeng? The Crown Prince of the Nanfeng Divine Dynasty? Though logically, he shouldn’t possess such power. Was it hidden?"

Mu Fusheng pondered for a moment and said, "We’ll investigate him thoroughly later. Somehow, it doesn’t feel quite right."

Jiu Bailu grinned and suggested, "Should I ask my father to help us look into it?"

Mu Fusheng considered this briefly before shaking his head. "It’s not ideal. The Nanfeng Divine Dynasty is one of the three major dynasties of the Mixed Spirit Continent and is deeply entrenched. Investigating might alert them prematurely."

Liu Ziru rolled his eyes from the side, clearly unimpressed but understanding what the young fox Mu Fusheng was implying. With exasperation, he said, "Fine, I’ll have the Dark Domain spy network look into it instead."

Mu Fusheng immediately expressed his gratitude, saying, "Many thanks, Uncle Liu!"

He’d been expecting this.

Liu Ziru could only sigh helplessly.

After wrapping up the discussions,

All eyes turned to Xu Yeming and Xu Chen, who stood with a stony expression beside him.

"Junior Brother Xu, what’s your plan?" Mu Fusheng asked.

Xu Yeming turned to Xu Chen, a faint smile appearing on his face, and said, "Of course, I’ll continue infiltrating the Xu Family, with Xu Chen cooperating with me."

As he spoke, Xu Yeming patted Xu Chen on the shoulder, chuckling, "Isn’t that right?"

Xu Chen frowned, dodging Xu Yeming’s hand, and said, "Let me make it clear: I’m collaborating with you for the sake of the Xu Family. If I find any indication that your actions harm the Xu Family, I’ll expose you immediately."

Xu Yeming shrugged nonchalantly and replied, "That’s entirely up to your judgment."

Ye Qiubai interjected, "Xuanyuan Che has already returned to the Xuanyuan Clan. I’ll be joining him under the guise of an old friend. If I uncover anything, I’ll inform you."

"Xuanyuan Che is working with you too?" Xu Chen’s eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.

Ye Qiubai nodded. "He’s also aware of the traitors within the Xuanyuan Clan and decided to join forces with us."

Xu Chen gave a solemn nod.

The addition of Xuanyuan Che further solidified his belief in the authenticity of this matter.

"All right. I’ll continue monitoring the opening time of the Chaos Divine Dynasty’s Core Land," Liu Ziru said. "For now, proceed with your respective tasks or start preparing yourselves."

Xu Yeming and Xu Chen would head back to the Xu Family.

Hong Ying and Blackie would naturally accompany them as guards, staying in their roles to avoid raising suspicion.

Ye Qiubai would go to the Xuanyuan Clan to meet with Xuanyuan Che.

Mu Fusheng would remain stationed at the rear, coordinating investigations on Nan Tingfeng and Chu Yan through the Dark Domain network.

The others stayed behind to cultivate, focus on preparation, and digest the opportunities gained from the relic expedition.

This trip to the relic had significantly boosted the abilities of The Cottage members!

Only Ning Chenxin remarked, "There’s something I need to investigate."

Within the relic, Ning Chenxin had heard the words of an ancient elder.

Aside from him, there was another Buddhist cultivator who had earned that person’s recognition.

If Ning Chenxin’s guess was correct, that individual should be the former Son of Buddha from the Buddhist Sect...
