Chapter 958 Goodbye Lan Caiyi
Chapter 958 Goodbye Lan Caiyi
About a cup of tea later, Han Yifeng finally briefly recounted the whole story.
After listening to this, Lu Chen felt a sigh in his heart. He didn't expect that the old guy Sang Duanyang would be so sinister.
It turns out that this old fellow, Sang Duanyang, is one of the most respected elders of Taixu Sect on the surface. He appears to be amiable, but he actually has a deep heart behind the scenes.
Han Yifeng revealed in his narration that although Taixu Sect was not a big sect in Qingyun Realm, it was once glorious, but now it is in decline.
And Sang Duanyang has always been eyeing the sect's most precious treasure - the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crystal Jade.
Legend has it that wearing this item can not only consolidate the practitioner's foundation, but also give the holder the power to resonate with heaven and earth.
However, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crystal Jade does not exist in isolation. It is inextricably linked to another legendary treasure, the Chaos Green Lotus.
According to ancient books of the Taixu Sect, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crystal Jade is the key to unlocking a mysterious space, and in that mysterious space, there is a high possibility that the Chaos Green Lotus, one of the ten spiritual roots, exists.
It’s a pity that before the sect leader passed away, he passed the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crystal Jade to Han Yifeng.
Sang Duanyang accidentally discovered a secret scroll about the relationship between the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crystal Jade and the Chaos Green Lotus.
He realized that if he could combine the two into one, he would not only be able to restore the former glory of the Taixu Sect, but he would also be able to reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world. But his ambitions went far beyond that.
So, Sang Duanyang began to act in secret, using his position and connections in the sect to gradually eliminate all people or things that might hinder his plans.
In order to ensure his own success, he also secretly cultivated a force that was completely loyal to him. These people were hidden in every corner of the sect and became pawns for him to realize his dream.
After everything was ready, they took advantage of Han Yifeng's absence to frame him and forced him to hand over the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crystal Jade.
Han Yifeng naturally would not allow himself to be bullied, so he fought a fierce battle with him.
He also relied on his own strength to prevent Sang Duanyang's evil plan from succeeding.
In the end, Sang Duanyang used despicable means and threatened Han Yifeng to hand over the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crystal Jade with the lives of hundreds of disciples in the sect.
He had no choice but to do as he was told and planned to return to the sect to expose Sang Duanyang's despicable tactics.
However, Han Yifeng held back and only gave Sang Duanyang half of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crystal Jade.
Unexpectedly, Sang Duanyang directly threatened Han Yifeng again, asking him to come to the Haoyue Mountains to find the mysterious space according to his own requirements.
He also said that if the Chaos Green Lotus was found, he would split it equally with them.
Han Yifeng naturally had his own plan at this time, so he agreed to Sang Duanyang's request.
This is what happened before, but no one expected that Lu Chen would be a variable in the end, which made both of their plans fail.
After a brief thought, Lu Chen saw that the other party did not know the news of the other ten spiritual roots, so he directly ordered Han Yifeng and Sang Duanyang.
They took out the half jade token in their hands again and successfully opened a space portal that was shining with strange runes.
This portal was like a bridge connecting two worlds, slowly leading them out of this mysterious space full of unknowns and dangers.
As for the lives of those people, Lu Chen did not intervene personally.
After all, if they hadn't accidentally brought themselves into this space.
There is no way I could possibly have the chance to obtain the legendary Chaos Green Lotus.
The cycle of cause and effect brought about by this coincidence has come to a perfect end here.
However, recalling what Han Yifeng had said, Lu Chen thought to himself:
Sang Duanyang was seriously injured, and I'm afraid he won't have a good ending.
Just as his thoughts were flying, Lu Chen suddenly felt a flash of light and shadow in front of his eyes.
When his vision became clear again, he found himself at the foot of the majestic mountain again.
Looking up, the familiar scenery around him was in sight, indicating that he was still in the Haoyue Mountains.
However, the formation passage from before had now disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
At this moment, Lu Chen was worried about Li Aotian and Lan Caiyi, and did not dare to stay any longer.
Then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant like lightning, the speed was so fast that it was astonishing.
Lu Chen planned to first find a nearby cultivator to inquire about the details so that he could find the two of them as soon as possible.
Not long after, relying on his powerful spiritual sense, Lu Chen finally locked onto a young cultivator in the early stage of Earth Immortal.
This young monk was originally strolling leisurely on a mountain path when he suddenly felt a strong and mysterious aura enveloping him. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.
Lu Chen stepped forward quickly and asked in a gentle voice: "My fellow Taoist, I have something to ask you. Could you tell me something?"
The young monk felt the powerful aura emanating from Lu Chen and was immediately shocked. He nodded tremblingly and said:
"Please ask, Immortal, I will tell you everything I know!"
After a brief conversation, Lu Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that he had actually heard news about Lan Caiyi and Li Aotian from this young cultivator.
However, when Lu Chen heard about their current situation, his mood suddenly sank.
It turned out that Lan Caiyi and Li Aotian were in danger at this time and the situation was precarious.
Lu Chen couldn't help but frown upon hearing this, and his face became even more worried. He quickly asked, "Where are they now?"
The young monk raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to the distance, and said in a trembling voice: "It's... in a valley about 50 kilometers ahead.
If you, Immortal, go there quickly now, there may still be a chance to rescue them."
After saying this, the young cultivator was already sweating profusely, obviously shocked by the aura emanating from Lu Chen.
Lu Chen felt the fear of the young cultivator. He sighed softly and restrained the pressure that he inadvertently exuded.
He then said some words of thanks, and then turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the direction the young monk pointed.
The long journey of fifty kilometers was only a dozen breaths away for Lu Chen who possessed the Chaos Void Shuttle Technique.
However, at this moment, he was extremely anxious, as if a raging fire was burning in his heart. Every second seemed to be infinitely stretched for him, and time became abnormally slow.
Finally, after speeding all the way at lightning speed, Lu Chen arrived at the valley.
But the moment he stepped into the sky above the valley, the scene he saw made his heart suddenly stop beating.
Li Aotian was seen vigorously waving the sword in his hand, which was shining with cold light, and engaging in a thrilling life-and-death battle with a group of men in black who were dressed in black and had ferocious faces.
Every time Li Aotian swung his sword, it was accompanied by a resolute roar and a tremendous burst of power, but even so, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was already exhausted and tired at this moment.
Looking at the other side, Lan Caiyi was being closely guarded by two loyal monks behind her.
The two men's faces were as pale as paper, their breathing was almost weak, and their bodies were covered with shocking scars.
These scars undoubtedly witnessed the painful price they paid to protect Lan Caiyi...
