Chapter 790 - 352
Linyuan City.
The rumors about the secret realm in Meteor Fall Valley are becoming increasingly intense, and with the appearance of the Purple Moon Cave projection, it has attracted even more powerful individuals.
Xu Guang and General Wei entered the city, easily sensing the restless atmosphere in the air.
The appearance of the Purple Moon Cave projection proved that there’s an extraordinary secret in Meteor Fall Valley, especially since recently, a Saint from the Tianji Pavilion inferred that the secret realm in Meteor Fall Valley is related to supremacy, causing Linyuan City, the closest city to Meteor Fall Valley, to fall into madness.
In an inn.
"Is there really a supreme inheritance in Meteor Fall Valley?"
"Saint Nie Yu from the Tianji Pavilion spoke with authority; haven’t you seen that several Saints from Penglai Palace have arrived recently?"
"Then next, Meteor Fall Valley will be the stage for Saints? That has nothing to do with us anymore."
An expert of the Second Nirvana was somewhat dejected,
having spent a considerable price to teleport from the Southern Domain, only to hear this news.
The secrets of Meteor Fall Valley have spread, and it’s related to supremacy, even Saints can’t sit still.
Perhaps it won’t be long before even Saints from beyond the heavens have to rush back.
"It’s definitely related to supremacy, but do you know which supreme being it is?"
The realm of supremacy has already become legendary in Hongze; when a supreme being achieves enlightenment, their name is always grand, and their fame and achievements are well-known.
"I’ve heard some gossip related to the successors of Moon God Manor. That person mentioned the supreme is Celestial Venerable Han from the past, Immortal Venerable Han Cuo!"
"Han Cuo?"
Xu Guang hid in the Void Realm, listening to the whispers outside.
Moon God Manor?
Did the Chu Monarch also come out?
The other party released information about Han Cuo, presumably making Meteor Fall Valley even more lively in a bit.
However, Xu Guang had no interest in this. With his understanding of Han Cuo, he no longer had any illusions about this big figure; he was a thoroughly cold-blooded entity.
Even if he really left a secret realm in Meteor Fall Valley, it’s likely not a good thing, possibly even something harmful.
This time, Xu Guang was already quite satisfied with obtaining the inheritance of the Refining Pattern Master in the Fire Domain, intending not to take further risks.
Leaving the tavern, he searched for the message left by Jin Buhuan.
Jin Buhuan was investigating his brother Jin Xiangyang’s death, not knowing if any clues had been found during this period.
Xu Guang pondered.
Three days later.
A somewhat weary Jin Buhuan returned from outside.
With him was a large man of unusual height, standing three meters tall.
"Brother Xu, this is my brother’s sworn brother, Yin Zuo, also an Inner Sect Disciple from Penglai Palace, ranked sixth."
Xu Guang clasped his fists, "Nice to meet Yin Zuo."
Yin Zuo’s voice was very dull, "No need for formalities."
Then, Jin Buhuan spoke about his findings over the period.
"My brother died at the North Sea battlefield of Penglai, which is recorded by Penglai Palace. During this period, I investigated those who had old grievances with my brother. After all, in his lifetime, he ranked thirteenth among the Inner Sect of Penglai Palace, counted as a prominent figure, and inevitably offended many people, but..."
Xu Guang frowned, "No findings?"
Jin Buhuan forced a smile, "It’s hard to investigate; with Brother Yin’s help, I found many people to inquire, but there seem to be no clues. Most of them didn’t appear at the North Sea battlefield; the three names given to me by Mr. Thirteen, although their cultivation improved rapidly after my brother’s death, upon my covert investigation with Brother Yin, they seem unrelated to my brother’s death."
"What about Jin Yu Ming?"
Xu Guang thought of something, speaking up.
Jin Buhuan shook his head, smiling bitterly, "Jin Yu Ming’s father is my uncle. Recently at the guild, he helped someone acquire a broken Holy Artifact, and the exchanged item was given to Jin Yu Ming. At least on the surface, Jin Yu Ming’s improvement seems unrelated to my brother’s death.
Though we share the same bloodline, I can’t use excessive means, otherwise..."
Xu Guang understood, family rules are numerous; some matters cannot be pursued too aggressively.
"Why did your brother go to the North Sea? Whose orders did he receive?"
Xu Guang pondered, identifying a line of investigation, speaking up.
Yin Zuo responded, "Brother Jin told me before going to the North Sea; he received orders from Elder Zhu Wujin. As a Saint, Elder Zhu Wujin likely wouldn’t act against a junior."
Xu Guang also fell silent.
The investigation into Jin Xiangyang’s death seemed to have reached a deadlock.
Many people didn’t go to the North Sea, and the orders were issued by a Saint, making Jin Xiangyang’s death seemingly accidental.
Xu Guang thought of Ling Xiao, whose intelligence system, as a princess of the dynasty, was beyond imagination, possibly revealing other clues.
Jin Buhuan regained composure, speaking.
"By the way, you’ve been quite mighty in Meteor Fall Valley. Both Brother Yin and I heard about your feats, truly remarkable."
"It was only a forced counterattack."
Jin Buhuan smiled, understanding Xu Guang’s temperament. Seeing the other unwilling to elaborate, he didn’t press further.
In the days that followed.
Xu Guang assisted Jin Buhuan in investigating Jin Xiangyang’s death.
No special clues emerged.
However, he encountered Yuhengzi from Linyuan City with Yin Zuo and formed acquaintance.
Linyuan City was now turbulent; Yuhengzi was overwhelmed, and Yin Zuo and Xu Guang helped subdue a Second Nirvana expert, invited by Yuhengzi.
Unexpectedly, he offered a clue.
"So Jin Xiangyang’s brother, Brother Jin... what a pity."
Yuhengzi ranked ninth in the sect, having achieved enlightenment many years before Jin Xiangyang. There was no conflict of interest; rather, when Jin Xiangyang hadn’t joined the Inner Sect, he assisted Yuhengzi with several tasks, leading to acquaintance.
