Du Hui shook his head and said, "I don't know. When they first came by, we met."
Bai Yu and Jin Ling looked at him with skepticism.
They also didn't know how Xiang Yuncong died, and now that Du Hui said he didn't know, they couldn't guess either.
"By the way, since you two just arrived here and haven't met anyone from the Flame Moon Sect, how do you know Xiang Yuncong is dead?" Du Hui asked curiously.
Bai Yu stared into Du Hui's eyes and said, "My master sensed that Junior Brother Xiang Yuncong has already fallen, so he specially sent us siblings to investigate. Just over an hour ago, we discovered the burial place of Junior Brother Xiang Yuncong's corpse."
Du Hui was shocked. Master Li Yang already knew that Xiang Yuncong was dead?
And specially sent Bai Yu and Jin Ling here to investigate?
Wait a minute.
It's said that Master Li Yang and Xiang Yuncong were secretly dao companions; he died, and Master Li Yang would surely be very heartbroken and seek revenge for him.
But this Core Formation Master did not come to Earth in person, which means the teleportation channel still has realm restrictions.
Also, sending Bai Yu and Jin Ling here is definitely not to confirm whether Xiang Yuncong is dead, but for the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner.
Du Hui suddenly understood the whole story and said to the two, "Xiang Yuncong was a prominent disciple of the Flame Moon Sect with unlimited future prospects, but unexpectedly fell in this small world. Do you two know who murdered him? Although there are Foundation Establishment experts on Earth, they are not many, and their strength is not strong. Could it be that Xiang Yuncong was killed for his treasure?"
Bai Yu and Jin Ling harbored this suspicion as well, and hearing Du Hui say it made them believe more firmly that Xiang Yuncong was ambushed by other sect or aristocratic family experts who came with him.
Even the possibility that it was an acquaintance from the Flame Moon Sect who committed the crime is quite high.
After all, the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner is a Spirit Treasure level item, and having it enables one to stand undefeated among the same realm.
With such a treasure, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator on Earth couldn't kill Xiang Yuncong; only a successful ambush by an acquaintance had higher chances.
However, everything requires evidence, and without conclusive proof, they dare not simply speculate.
Bai Yu said, "This matter requires investigation to confirm. Daoist Du Hui, we siblings have other matters to attend to, and we urgently need to see other disciples from our sect, so we won't disturb you. Farewell."
Du Hui cupped his hands and said, "Please go ahead."
"Farewell."
The two cupped their fists in salute to Du Hui, then Bai Yu drove the Spirit Boat away into the distance.
At the same time, Du Hui sent a warning into the Mountain Protection Array and quickly flew into the array.
Within the array, Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, Helian Zhan, Wang Chunyang, and the six from Lingxiao Sect sensed Du Hui's warning instantly.
This warning can only be sensed by Foundation Establishment cultivators.
When Du Hui returned to the array, the others rushed out too.
Yang Fei asked, "What's wrong?"
Du Hui quickly explained the situation.
Everyone was shocked, and Lu Chen exclaimed, "How is it possible? We clearly didn't sense any abnormality in the world; how could a third group have come?"
Du Hui said, "It's likely only Bai Yu and Jin Ling came this time. They probably used a Spirit Boat."
Ye Wuya nodded and said, "Yes, the movement generated by a Spirit Boat's teleportation is minimal, and we are so far from the teleport channel that we probably couldn't sense it."
Yang Fei's eyes flashed with a sharp light and asked, "How long has it been since they left?"
Du Hui said, "Not far, they went that way."
"Chase them."
Yang Fei shouted loudly.
Du Hui hurriedly said, "Daoist Yang, they are driving a Spirit Boat, we can't catch up. When I was talking to them, they were always standing on the Spirit Boat, so I didn't directly call you out to act."
Qin Yanyang said, "Go start the Spirit Ship."
"Yes, the Spirit Ship should be able to catch up."
Lu Chen immediately said, "I'll go start it."
Yang Fei reminded him, "First activate the array to conceal our aura; we'll follow behind them, and it's best not to let them find us."
Lu Chen nodded and quickly left.
Soon, the Spirit Ship started, and everyone boarded it.
After leaving the Mountain Protection Array, the Spirit Ship chased in the direction Bai Yu and Jin Ling left.
However, after chasing for thirty minutes, they still couldn't find any trace of the other party.
Ye Wuya frowned and asked, "Junior Brother Du, are you sure they went this way?"
"Yes." Du Hui curiously said, "Our speed should be faster than a Spirit Boat, so why haven't we found them for so long?"
Yang Fei said, "Return."
Everyone was startled, and Lu Chen immediately steered the Spirit Ship to turn back towards White Jade City.
A cup of tea's time later, on the way back, under the dense forest, Bai Yu and Jin Ling stopped the Spirit Boat under a large tree, surrounded by a giant bell.
Mixed Element Bell.
Master Li Yang's second precious artifact.
The Mixed Element Bell not only has strong defensive capabilities but also conceals the Spirit Boat and Bai Yu and Jin Ling's presence completely.
Watching the Spirit Ship return overhead towards White Jade City, Bai Yu's eyes were sharp and cold as he said, "It turns out that the people of Lingxiao Sect indeed have issues."
Jin Ling nodded and said, "This Spirit Ship belongs to the Great Dao Sect, and now it's in the hands of Lingxiao Sect. Could it be that Xiang Yuncong was harmed by people from Lingxiao Sect?"
Bai Yu nodded and said, "It's highly possible."
Jin Ling took a deep breath and said, "Could it be that the people from the Great Dao Sect, Flame Moon Sect, and the other three major cultivation families were all wiped out by the Lingxiao Sect people?"
Bai Yu frowned, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Lingxiao Sect only came with eight people. The second group that came here had eighteen people, so the Lingxiao Sect people couldn't have annihilated them all."
Jin Ling nodded silently and said, "Yes. If so, where are they?"
Bai Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but we must find them. We don't know how far away they are, and before we left, our master only gave us three communication talismans. The distance these talismans can transmit information is fifty miles. If we use them recklessly and they are too far away to see them, it would be a waste."
Jin Ling said, "Yes, let's not use them yet. This place is too close to the Lingxiao Sect disciples' camp. If the people from the Great Dao Sect and the Flame Moon Sect want to find a place to camp, they would also go a bit farther. Let's go farther first."
"Let's go." Bai Yu put away the Mixed Element Bell and drove the Spirit Boat to the left.
On the other side, after Yang Fei and the others returned to White Jade City, they didn't find that Spirit Boat. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief but also frowned.
Qin Yanyang said, "It looks like those two have sensed something wrong and are hiding."
Everyone nodded.
"Forget it, capturing those two alone is impossible now. But even if they meet with other enemies, they can't threaten us, so we won't worry about them." Yang Fei was unrestrained and didn't feel dejected for having taken a fruitless trip.
Bai Yu drove the Spirit Boat around the White Jade City Peak, noticing that the farther from White Jade City, the thinner the spiritual energy. He pondered for a while and returned to the vicinity of Xiang Yuncong's burial site to use a communication talisman.
His judgment was indeed correct.
Shortly after using this communication talisman, in a nearby cave, Wu You, Zhuo Donglai, and Zhou Hao felt a stir in their hearts. Their eyes lit up, and they exclaimed with joy simultaneously, "The sect people have arrived."
