Chapter 1611 - 1608: Su Baili Seeks His Granddaughter
Li Shuya is quite familiar with Ling Shuanghua, who has been leading the Flame Moon Sect for many years, and would not come to disturb his family’s secluded cultivation unless it was an urgent matter.
Moreover, Ling Shuanghua knows that Yang Fei and his family are guests in his home, so she wouldn’t seek him out unless it were a significant issue.
As he sensed the aura of a Divinity Transformation Realm master, a terrifying divine sense simultaneously probed over.
At the same time, Ling Shuanghua anxiously said to Li Shuya, "Old Ancestor, Wangxian..."
Li Shuya’s eyes sharpened, and he interrupted her, transmitting his voice, "I know."
Ling Shuanghua was shocked, and hurriedly transmitted her voice using divine sense, "Old Ancestor, this master from Wangxian Sect seems to be coming for Yang Fei, what should we do?"
Li Shuya transmitted back, "Don’t be tense, let me meet him and discern his intentions."
He flashed his figure towards the mountain gate of Flame Moon Sect.
Ling Shuanghua thought for a moment, but ultimately did not follow.
The visitor is a Divinity Transformation Realm master from Wangxian Sect, and while she is the leader of Flame Moon Sect, her realm is only at the late-stage Nascent Soul. If the Old Ancestor were in seclusion or absent, she would certainly be the one to host the guest, but since the Old Ancestor has gone himself, her presence is unnecessary.
However, even though Wangxian Sect is one of the one-star sects in the Southern Domain cultivation world, with formidable strength, Flame Moon Sect and even the entire Southern South Domain have always been subordinate to Shang Qing Sect. The Divinity Transformation Realm masters of Flame Moon Sect visiting Flame Moon Sect, with the Old Ancestor meeting them in person, could likely cause Shang Qing Sect to be displeased when it circulates.
While Ling Shuanghua privately worried, she glanced again at the array before her.
Yang Fei was inside it at this moment.
Regarding the secrets of Earth and the genetic liquid medicine, over the years, it’s likely Wangxian Sect has already been aware. Now a Divinity Transformation Realm master has appeared here, it’s probably directed at Yang Fei; otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Worrying about Yang Fei being in trouble at Flame Moon Sect or Flame Moon Sect being suspected by Shang Qing Sect, Ling Shuanghua’s heart was shrouded in a layer of anxiety.
"A Daoist friend from Wangxian Sect visiting our humble sect, I, Li, failed to welcome you from afar, please forgive me!"
Li Shuya utilized the Instant Teleportation Technique to arrive at the sect’s mountain gate, cupping his hands to greet the elder wearing a light long robe, whose hair was half-white.
The elder named Su Baili was indeed one of the Divinity Transformation Realm masters from Wangxian Sect.
Just a month and a half ago, he was in seclusion cultivating, yet was hastily awakened by his son, only to learn that his beloved granddaughter, Su Jingshu’s Life Soul Lamp was flickering, evidently encountering an accident, life hanging by a thread.
Soon, the second son of his sect brother came anxiously seeking him, saying his daughter Jiang Xinyun’s Life Soul Lamp was similarly flickering, potentially facing catastrophic perils, but her father had long ventured into the Outer Domain, thus absent. In facing such mighty events, since Jiang Xinyun and Su Jingshu left Wangxian Sect together initially, thus he visited seeking Su Baili’s counsel.
Su Baili dearly loved Su Jingshu, moreover Jiang Xinyun is the granddaughter of his sect brother, two girls were elite among the second generation in Wangxian Sect, extremely loved, especially since leaving the mountain gate was to investigate something important; therefore, upon hearing the news, Su Baili left Wangxian Sect without hesitation to personally investigate the situation of the two girls.
He firstly used the secret technique of blood lineage to locate the roughly whereabouts and routes of activities of Su Jingshu after leaving the sect, then searched all the way, arriving at Lu Family in Qinghe County meeting Lu Jianxing, from whose mouth learning the two girls colluded intending to scheme against Yang Fei of Shang Qing Sect, later because their plot being overheard, the three killed True Monarch Cang Yuan, letting the incident die with no witness.
Afterwards, the two girls left Qinghe County, tracing clues of Earth’s darkness arrived in Southern South Domain, eventually vanished near the region of Flame Moon Sect.
Su Baili according to family bloodline tracking discovered traces of Yang Fei fiercely battling with Mu Qingchuan, felt the timing of his granddaughter’s disappearance was remarkably like the timeline of the battle traces, concluded his granddaughter had certainly gotten embroiled in the fierce battle.
He secretly investigated for several days with no results, thus directly visited Flame Moon Sect.
In his view, his granddaughter and that girl from the Jiang family vanished near Flame Moon Sect, within Flame Moon Sect’s territory occurred such fierce battle, Flame Moon Sect’s senior masters surely know some inside story, therefore came to inquire.
Su Baili seeing Li Shuya emerged personally, immediately smiled, cupping his hands back: "I, Su, have presumptuously visited, didn’t expect to disturb Mr. Li’s secluded cultivation, beg forgiveness."
Li Shuya quickly said: "Daoist Su is too polite, your presence here is indeed an honor for our Flame Moon Sect."
With that, he turned aside, welcoming: "Daoist Su has come a long way, weary from the journey, allow me to fulfill the duties of a host."
Su Baili lightly laughed, waved his hand: "Daoist Li’s kindness, I, Su, appreciate it, but I came this time with urgent inquiries, might trouble you and other Daoist friends from Flame Moon Sect to assist."
Li Shuya’s heart slightly moved.
His concern wasn’t other than the visitor arriving for the secret of Earth, or perhaps knowing Yang Fei is a guest here, coming for Yang Fei.
Yet observing the other’s manner, not seeming to seek trouble, instead asking for help, this sparked Li Shuya’s suspicions, inquiring: "Daoist Su is courteous, what do you need, if I or Flame Moon Sect can assist, certainly will not decline."
Though Flame Moon Sect is subordinate to Shang Qing Sect, Shang Qing Sect and Wangxian Sect do not get along well, yet Wangxian Sect by all means is a reputable sect, belongs to the righteous path; with the visitor seeking help, it is inappropriate to decline it.
Su Baili nodded, straightforwardly said: "I have a granddaughter named Su Jingshu, she together with my brother Jiang Daozu’s granddaughter Jiang Xinyun outside executing tasks, just over a month ago, the Life Soul Lamps of these two flickered, certainly encountered villains assault, hence I have come looking."
Li Shuya startled, his expression changed greatly: "Your granddaughter and Daoist Jiang Daozu’s granddaughter encountered misfortune together?"
Su Baili nodded. Seeing Li Shuya’s shocked expression, his heart sank, could it be Li Shuya’s ignorance of the matter?
If so, that is ill-fated.
As the sole Divinity Transformation Realm master in Flame Moon Sect territory, if even Li Shuya does not know this event, finding his granddaughter timely is unlikely.
"Where did it happen?" Li Shuya immediately asked.
With the visitor’s status and position, personally visiting the sect under Shang Qing Sect’s jurisdiction is sensitive, yet the visitor has come, evidence his granddaughter undoubtedly met misfortune within Flame Moon Sect territory, otherwise he wouldn’t visit.
Su Baili replied: "The last appeared approximate range, within the lands west of your Flame Moon Sect, previously I investigated those regions, discovered traces of fierce cultivator battle, minimally signs of actions from Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, thus I presumed to inquire, regarding whether Daoist Li knows of this battle, or Flame Moon Sect’s Nascent Soul Stage cultivators have clandestinely witnessed this battle?"
