Chapter 777: Arrival

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The expressions on many faces were notably grave.

They had not anticipated that three of their own Void Returning Divine Lords, including one who had reached the Celestial Radiance stage, would fall at the same time.

If the fall of two cultivators in the Dharma Form stage was unexpected, then the demise of Senior Brother Gui Ming, who was in the Celestial Radiance stage, was outright shocking.

What exactly had happened that could cause the simultaneous demise of three Void Returning Divine Lords?

As everyone was speculating in their minds, suddenly, three exceptionally powerful presences appeared before everyone in the Elders’ Hall.

These three figures were none other than three mighty beings of the Seethrough stage.

The Void Returning elders immediately stood up and bowed.

“Greetings, Senior Brothers!”

The three Seethrough cultivators nodded.

At that moment, one of the men clad in black spoke:

“We have a rough idea about the deaths of Junior Brother Gui Ming and the others.

They likely perished in a conflict with others.”

“What? They died at the hands of other cultivators?”

Upon hearing the man in black’s words, all the elders present were taken aback and then filled with anger.

“Who could possess such audacity to slay the elders of our Five Elements Heavenly Sect?”

“We must find them and avenge Senior Brother Gui Ming and the others!”

“Yes, we must find the culprit and seek revenge for Senior Brother Gui Ming and the others!”

Seeing the reaction of the elders present, the man in black simply raised his hand slightly.

In an instant, the previously noisy Elders’ Hall became quiet once again.

The man in black continued, “This matter, I will investigate the site of Junior Brother Gui Ming and the others’ demise along with Senior Brother Lie Kong.

Rest assured, their deaths will not be in vain.

Since the other party had the courage to kill the elders of our Five Elements Heavenly Sect, they should also be prepared to face our wrath.

That’s all for now. Brothers and sisters, be extra cautious when you go out from now on. If you encounter any unpredictable dangers, prioritize your own safety above all.”

After finishing, the man in black and the other two Seethrough powerhouses disappeared from the Elders’ Hall.

Some time later.

The man in black and another man in a blue robe appeared at the site where Gui Ming and the others had fallen.

“Lie Kong, the task ahead now falls to you,” said the man in black, turning towards the man in the blue robe.

The man in the blue robe nodded.

Soon, it seemed as if the flow of time was swirling in his eyes.

Scenes began to gradually emerge in his vision.

However, just as these scenes reached their most critical point, something seemed to obstruct and abrupt him, causing the scenes to immediately start blurring.

In the end, they began to shatter.

The man in the blue robe let out a muffled grunt.

The man in black immediately looked at him and asked,

“Lie Kong, did something happen?”

The expression on the face of the man in the blue robe turned rather ugly as he nodded.

“The other party appears to have the ability to interfere with investigations and spying. When I traced back to the battle scenes, I encountered severe interference, which even caused some backlash against me.”

“What?”

The pupils of the man in black instantly narrowed.

He was fully aware of the implications of what the man in the blue robe had just said.

Didn’t this mean that with their ability, it was utterly impossible for them to find the murderer of Gui Ming and the other two right now?

“Let me try again,” said the man in the blue robe, clearly unwilling to give up.

He began to trace back the scenes once more.

Yet, the result was the same as before.

When the scenes were traced back to the critical moment, they immediately began to shake violently and blur, preventing the man in the blue robe from seeing the contents clearly and even affecting his Primordial Spirit to some extent.

“Still no good?”

The man in black obviously saw the outcome as well.

The two exchanged a glance instinctively.

“We have no choice but to report this to the sect master or the supreme elders and ask them to conduct a comprehensive investigation,” said the man in the blue robe.

“Yes, it seems that’s the only option left,” the man in black replied with a hint of helplessness.

A few months later.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had traversed many distances, from the outskirts of the Myriad Dao Immortal City all the way to a towering ice mountain in the far north snow plains.

This mountain, marked on the map as Mount Dao Spirit, was unexpectedly a majestic ice mountain.

“Who would have thought that this so-called Mount Dao Spirit would actually be such a towering ice mountain,” Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but exclaim, looking around at the harsh environment.

Jiang Chengxuan also nodded slightly in agreement.

“I just wonder when exactly the Immortal Peak cave abode mentioned in the map will open.

Do we have to keep waiting here?”

Shen Ruyan thought for a moment and said, “The environment around here might be harsh, but the Primordial Spiritual Qi is rich and relatively pure.

How about we wait here for a few years?

After that time, if the Immortal Peak cave abode appears, we can explore it.

If it doesn’t open, we can choose to leave. What do you think?” Shen Ruyan suggested.

Jiang Chengxuan nodded at Shen Ruyan’s words.

“Sure.”

Thus, the couple set about carving out a temporary cave abode for themselves.

And so, they waited, which indeed turned out to be several years.

On this day.

The couple was cultivating in their temporary cave abode when suddenly, several streaks of light flashed across the sky in the distance.

Judging by their aura, they were also Void Returning Divine Lords.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately came out of their seclusion and went to the entrance of their temporary cave abode.

Soon, those streaks of light landed not far from where Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan stood.

Looking up, they saw several individuals dressed in the attire of the Qian family.

Without a doubt, these individuals were from the super family, the Qian family.

The cultivators of the Qian family had also seen Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.

One of the Qian family’s cultivators, a woman in a goose-yellow dress with an oval face and exquisitely beautiful features, stepped forward with a smile and greeted Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan:

“My name is Qian Mengchen of the Qian family. May I know how to address the two fellow daoists?

You must also be here to enter the Immortal Peak cave abode, right?”

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s hearts skipped a beat.

They exchanged glances.

Shen Ruyan then smiled and replied, “So, you are Fairy Mengchen of the Qian family. My name is Shen Ruyan, from the Thunderclap Valley, and this is my husband, Jiang Chengxuan, from the Haoran Sect.”
