Chapter 968: Whole Pill (II)
Great void.
Lu Jiangxian’s divine sense roamed through the void for some time, lingering around the Purple Smoke Gate’s territory.
Ever since he’d gained the ability to travel the great void with his spirit, he had never dared intrude upon the core gates of immortal sects. He mostly observed from a distance. But this recent Purple Mansion Realm breakthrough within the Purple Smoke Gate was the most thorough and complete event he had ever studied.
He had even seen the person from the Underworld involved and caught their entire conversation from afar.
Zipei has fallen.
Contrary to the speculations of many Purple Mansion Realm cultivators, Daoist Master Zipei, Kan Xuyu, was dead and her soul entirely annihilated. There was no reincarnation to speak of!
The Shen Family and the Purple Smoke Gate sending people everywhere to search for Zipei’s reincarnation is likely just for show...
Zipei had been incredibly powerful. A figure with innate Metallic Essence who had disappeared after 'reincarnation'; such ambiguity actually served both the Shen Family and the Purple Smoke Gate well.
The other Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, Daoist Master Zimu, disappeared long ago. If the Purple Smoke Gate wants to maintain its current standing, some schemes and trickery are inevitable.
Yet Lu Jiangxian had observed the entire Underworld ritual from beginning to end and confirmed there was no trace of the True Essence of the Metallic Essence. This meant Daoist Master Zipei had never used that treasure at all!
Where could such a precious item... possibly be?
Lu Jiangxian couldn’t find a clue for now. He could only set the matter aside and keep an eye on it. Instead, another thought rose in his heart.
