Chapter 1244: Resolution
Chapter 1244: Resolution
"Good, then let's split into two groups."
"I'll take care of that Yu Xu hermit, and you, Lu Shidi, will handle the Kong Xuan Mountain situation."
A flash of sternness crossed Ge Po's eyes.
Since the Yu Xu hermit and the four from Kong Xuan Mountain had managed to escape alive from Jue Ling Valley, they must have some connection to Huo Lin'er's death.
Of course, the two would first investigate the matter. If they found nothing, they would teach them a lesson, but if they discovered even a thread of involvement, they would see how these people would meet their end.
Kong Xuan Mountain.
The entire mountain range stretched for thousands of miles, with powerful array formations and restrictions set up everywhere, giving the scattered cultivators living in this area a strong sense of security.
Of course, the main reason for this security was the presence of two Yuan Ying True Lords and over twenty Jie Dan True Men, which was the true source of Kong Xuan Mountain's confidence.
In a vast cave mansion.
A one-eyed middle-aged man sat at a wooden table, captivated by a spiritual jade in his hand, playing with it lovingly.
The spiritual jade radiated a brilliant light, projecting layer upon layer of vivid illusions, clearly indicating its extraordinary nature.
"A Six-Grade Qian Huan Jade, I never expected to obtain such a valuable treasure from the Jue Ling Valley trip."
The one-eyed man chuckled, a hint of self-satisfaction in his eyes.
This piece of spiritual jade in his hand was extremely rare, and among Six-Grade treasures, its value was undoubtedly among the highest. Whether he sold it or exchanged it with others, it would bring him a substantial reward.
"Zhang Daoyou, how did you come across this spiritual jade?"
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded in his ear.
The one-eyed man was startled and turned his head, only to see a handsome young man smiling at him.
"Zhang Yi of Kong Xuan Mountain greets the senior! May I ask how I should address you?"
The one-eyed man scanned with his spiritual sense and immediately sensed Lu Xuan's profound and deep aura, akin to a bottomless sea. He quickly realized that the young man before him was a Yuan Ying True Lord and asked with utmost respect.
"Your origins are not something you are qualified to know."
"I didn't even think of notifying the two Yuan Ying cultivators of Kong Xuan Mountain. The area around your cave mansion has been sealed off by my restrictions. Even if you die inside, it will take at least ten days or half a month for anyone to find out."
Lu Xuan said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
His spiritual sense was keen, and he was well aware that the one-eyed man had secretly contacted the two Yuan Ying cultivators of Kong Xuan Mountain the moment he appeared, but Lu Xuan had blocked all communication.
"Answer my questions truthfully, or your life will be at stake."
"Yes, senior! I will speak without reservation!"
The one-eyed man was terrified of angering the mysterious Yuan Ying True Lord before him and immediately expressed his compliance.
"Did you go to Jue Ling Valley a few months ago?"
"Yes, I went with three familiar cultivators from Kong Xuan Mountain."
The one-eyed man replied with a humble expression.
"In Kong Xuan Mountain, did you meet a young child who was proficient in fire-based techniques and sword skills?"
"I think I did, but it was just a brief encounter from a distance, with little interaction."
The one-eyed man's heart skipped a beat, but he maintained his composure.
"You're lying."
Lu Xuan's gaze was sharp.
"It seems I'll have to use some unconventional methods."
Lu Xuan said gently.
The one-eyed man's heart raced with terror, and a fiery red flying sword darted towards Lu Xuan like lightning.
"Huo Shixiong's treasure! Excellent!"
Lu Xuan said coldly, and a large cloud of black mist appeared around the one-eyed man, enveloping him. In an instant, the mist entered his seven apertures and penetrated his sea of consciousness.
When the Eight-Grade 'Nine You Fa Zhi' emerged from the light sphere of the Huang Quan Bu Si Fruit, although he didn't cultivate it, he still learned several auxiliary techniques, one of which was the Soul-Searching Technique.
Lu Xuan grabbed the one-eyed man's head with his empty hand, and immediately, fragmented scenes appeared in his sea of consciousness.
There were those who explored the secret realm, those who cultivated their cultivation techniques, and those who fought with others for treasures.
Among them, a familiar fiery figure flashed through his spiritual sea.
"Senior Brother Huo..."
"You really deserve to die."
Lu Xuan withdrew his divine sense and looked at the middle-aged man with a single eye who had not yet recovered his clarity. With a flick of his sleeve, he instantly captured him.
"The other three also cannot be forgiven."
"Letting you die quickly would be too kind to you."
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
After clearly identifying the four as the main culprits behind Senior Brother Huo's death, Lu Xuan directly sentenced them to death. He planned to take them into his sleeve and torture them thoroughly when he returned.
He repeated the same method, not bothering to conceal his figure. He directly entered the cave dwellings of the other three and, in the blink of an eye, took away three scattered cultivators, breaking through the formation and leaving.
"Who dares..."
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the very center of Kongxuan Mountain.
A burst of white light shot towards a bar, where a Yuan Ying old woman was reading a book.
Immediately, a Yuan Ying old woman transformed into a beam of white light and shot towards them.
The treasures in Kongxuan Mountain lit up, and numerous Jie Dan cultivators gathered around.
"Hmm?"
Before the old woman could finish speaking, Lu Xuan turned around and looked back. Behind him, countless stars rose, swirling in a profound and mysterious trajectory, containing the ultimate essence of the Sword Dao.
When the Yuan Ying old woman saw the Zhou Tian Star Battle Array, her loud shout abruptly stopped, and the surrounding treasures gradually dimmed.
The entire Kongxuan Mountain fell silent, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that the Yuan Ying cultivator of Kongxuan Mountain was so sensible, Lu Xuan didn't make things too difficult. He casually intimidated them and left calmly.
"Senior Huang, what's the background of that person just now?"
A refined cultivator flew out from the shadows and stood beside the Yuan Ying old woman. He was another Yuan Ying Zhenjun of Kongxuan Mountain.
"A 7th-grade sword formation... Do I need to explain its origin? Only those super-large sword sects can casually bring out a 7th-grade sword formation."
"From its appearance, it seems to be the Zhou Tian Star Battle Array of Dongxuan Sword Sect."
The old woman heaved a sigh of relief, her face showing a hint of lingering fear.
"A Yuan Ying Zhenjun from Dongxuan Sword Sect? How did they come to this small place of ours?"
The refined cultivator's heart trembled. The reputation of Dongxuan Sword Sect was truly immense. Even just hearing about it made him, a Yuan Ying scattered cultivator, feel insignificant in comparison.
"It's probably because Kongxuan Mountain offended the sword sect and brought this disaster upon themselves."
The old woman spoke softly.
"Senior Huang, Zhang Daoyou and the other three have all disappeared."
"Should we go and save them?"
A thin cultivator hurriedly approached the two, his face filled with worry.
"How do you plan to save them? Are you going?"
The old woman's expression turned solemn.
Although she had only briefly interacted with Lu Xuan, in that instant, she understood his profound background. Even if she added the Yuan Ying cultivator beside her, they would likely struggle to last a few rounds.
"Their greed clouded their eyes, and they dared to offend the disciples of a major sect. They almost brought disaster to Kongxuan Mountain."
"You all must be more cautious in the future. When competing for treasures, you must be aware of your limits. Don't offend those you shouldn't."
"Otherwise, Kongxuan Mountain will take care of its own affairs, so as not to implicate me."
The old woman glared at the numerous Jie Dan scattered cultivators below and spoke sternly.
"Yes! We will follow your orders, Senior!"
Everyone responded.
Having crawled and fought in the cultivation world for so many years, they naturally understood the implications of this unfamiliar cultivator's intrusion. Therefore, they had no sympathy for the middle-aged man with a single eye and his three companions.
