Taoist Miaochi nodded his head, but he closed his eyes slightly, as though he was sensing his surroundings. A moment later, he opened his eyes and said with slight helplessness, “A chaotic battle broke out here, and more than just one person died, it looks like they have all turned into ashes. Unfortunately, this is a lightning swamp area, and there was once a large area of lightning that fell here, so I was unable to sense any more news.
The cultivator with the purple jade nodded his head dejectedly and said, “It must be a desperate move by Senior Brother Miao Huang.”
At this time, the Taoist Miaochi clapped his hands and shouted, “Aiyo, this is bad. Amazing! Junior Brother, let’s quickly go to the Thunder Lake.”
Taoist Miao Yong’s expression changed, as if he had realized something bad, and exclaimed: “Senior Brother, you’re saying …. “It can’t be?”
At this time, Taoist Miaochi’s face had turned ugly, he was not in the mood to reply to Taoist Miao Yong. All he had to do was to fly in the direction of the lightning lake, and when Taoist Miao Yong saw this, he immediately followed.
Moments later, the two of them arrived at the bank of the lightning lake.
Taoist Miaochi instructed: “Junior brother, please wait here for a moment. I will go to the Three Purities Sect first to investigate, I hope it is not the worst case scenario.”
Taoist Miao Yong shook the cloak behind him and said, “I’ll go with senior brother. With the Lightning Splitting Cloak, I can go down as well.”
Lightning appeared above the lightning lake, but it was a wonderful lake and a wonderful lake. The two Daoists returned from the path of the thunder lagoon.
At this moment, the two of them were suspended above the lake, neither of them said anything. However, their expressions were abnormally ugly. It was obvious that the two of them knew what had happened on the other side of the thunder lagoon.
“Something must have gone wrong with the Three Purities Sect. Brother Miao Huang must have been ambushed there.”
Taoist Miao Yong said worriedly: “The situation around the thunder well has changed a lot. The Three Purities Sect will definitely notice it, maybe the secret of the thunder well will be leaked.”
Taoist Miaochi sighed, and said solemnly: “It has already been leaked out when junior brother Miao Huang was ambushed. The Three Purities Sect is under our control, and even Dao Realm cultivators have been dealt with secretly fohousand years, so how could they possibly harm junior brother Miao Huang? We just do not know if the Three Purities Sect exposed the existence of the lightning well, or if some foreign powers found it.”
Taoist Miao Yong was startled, and asked: “Then, do I need to head out of this region immediately?”
With that, he waved his hand down and said: “If it really is impossible, then there is no need for the Three Purities Sect to exist. As long as the Three Purities Sect is eradicated, the dead will naturally not reveal the secrets of the thunder well.
“Of course we have to makrip to the alien Qiongtian Realm immediately!”
The Taoist Miaochi’s expression was heavy, obviously he was pessimistic and pessimistic about the secret of the Thunder Well. He said: “I hope Junior Brother Miao Huang and the Alien Cultivator that killed him outside the Thunder Well will both die, otherwise our sect will give up on the secret of the Thunder Well Passage and get into the Palace first.”
Taoist Miao Yong was startled, opened his mouth, and in the end still let out a dejected sigh.
The two Daoists from the Violet Firmament Pavilion wandered around in the lightning lake for a while longer until they still couldn’t find anything.
Huzhou’s Qian Hu Hai’s eyes were fixed on the water.
Early in the morning, Taoist Jiangxin and his disciples were waiting on the surface of the lake outside the water prison for the inspection of the newly assigned waters of the sect.
“Junior Sister Xia, I didn’t think that the Sect would actually send you here!”
A large boat broke through the water mist on the surface of the lake and headed towards Taoist Jiangxin. Before the disciples could clearly see who was on the boat, Taoist Jiangxin had already laughed and said.
A clear shadow appeared at the bow of the ship, and a clear voice rang out beside everyone’s ears, “Thank you for waiting for a long time, Senior Jiang. This time, I was even responsible for escorting a group of prisoners to the border with senior brother, but was delayed for a moment because of this.”
Taoist Jiangxin laughed, the fat on his huge body trembled. “It’s fine, I just happened to have built that water prison not long ago, there are still a lot of empty cells inside, brother’s cell is really unworthy of its name!”
Taoist Xia Yuan floated up, and stepped onto the surface of the water as she arrived in front of Taoist Jiangxin. She faintly sighed: “Even though senior has fixed sea anchor, you are still trapped here because of this. In the entire sect, perhaps only senior would still be able to be optimistic under such circumstances.”
Taoist Jiangxin laughed after hearing that, and said: “Junior sister, your words are too serious. Brother being able to obtain the fixed sea anchor is already an achievement of the sect’s seniors, moreover, even though I am not free here, I can still focus most of my energy on cultivation. Amongst my fellow disciples in the sect, Brother is the first to advance his Qingyun Realm right? “Junior is currently only at the Rui Qi stage, you can say that she is still far behind.”
Taoist Xia Yuan smiled and said: “Senior Brother, I believe I am impressed by your talent.”
“Let’s not talk about this anymore.”
Taoist Jiangxin waved his hand, then instructed the sect disciples behind him: “You bastards, what are you doing here, aren’t you going to the ship to help your Junior Master’s disciples take those alien people to the water prison?”
A few disciples of the Flying School all acknowledged and brought down their sealed cultivation from the boat. Afterwards, they came to the nearby lake and directly sank all the cultivators into the lake.
The two Daoists looked at the bustling activity of the disciples before Taoist Xia Yuan opened her mouth to speak: “I have been sent by the sect to scout the surrounding waters of the Thousand-Lake Sea. Senior has been here for a long time, is there anything I can remind you of?”
The Taoist Jiangxin thought for a moment when he heard this, then said: “The Thousand Lake Sea Eye is extremely important, and in the recent years since it has been completely occupied by our sect, the various sects in the Huzhou have all expressed their complaints. Although brother can rely on the might of the fixed sea anchor, the sects have never stopped coveting this place, but because they fear our sect’s power, in order to hide our identity, we have to take over this place recently. We must prevent these people from using underhanded methods, and only if we meet someone who wants to be heavily punished, will we make these people fear.”
Taoist Xia Yuan was very serious about Taoist Jiangxin’s suggestion, and from her tone, she could feel that the situation in the water surrounding the Thousand-Lake Sea did not seem to be too good.
After he finished listening to Taoist Jiangxin’s words, the Taoist Xia Yuan snorted coldly and said, “These sects are all short-sighted people and can only see the heavenly and earthly treasures that are being nurtured in the eyes of Qian Hu Sea. They don’t know that there might be a great calamity coming from the eyes of the sea at any time, and the sect is occupying this place to protect them as well.”
When Taoist Jiangxin heard this, he laughed bitterly and said, “I’m afraid the situation is getting worse now. According to brother’s investigation, the sects in the surrounding waters are not the only ones that are roaming around the Huzhou, there seem to be some foreign powers paying attention to this place. This is also why brother would suggest the sects to send Dao Realm cultivators to scout the Thousand-lake waters.
Taoist Xia Yuan laughed when she heard this: “From Senior Brother’s tone, you seem to be looking down on Junior Sister.”
Taoist Jiangxin immediately smiled apologetically: “How dare you.”
Taoist Xia Yuan looked at the disciples who were following him and guarding Seawater Prison and asked: “I heard that senior actually accepted an honorary disciple. I wonder which junior actually managed to get senior brother’s attention?”
Taoist Jiangxin’s eyes flashed, “Haha” laughed, and said: “What kind of choice do you have, he is just the son of an old friend, now that he brought a keepsake to our house, we can take him in as an honorary disciple, it can be considered as saying that to an old friend.”
After saying that, the Taoist Jiangxin called out to a young cultivator who had just thrown a Alien Cultivator into the water prison: “Qingyang, Qingyang, come over and greet your Martial Aunt Xia.”
When the cultivator heard Taoist Jiangxin’s summons, he immediately walked over and bowed respectfully to Taoist Xia Yuan and said: “Disciple Yu Qingyang greets Martial Aunt Xia.”
Taoist Xia Yuan’s gaze sized up the slim and slender young cultivator in front of him, and encouraged him. “Since I have the honor of being under Senior Brother Jiang’s tutelage, I can’t slack off normally.”
Although the Taoist Xia Yuan was a woman, she was much more dignified than the Joy Heaven Sect of the Taoist Jiangxin. With just a single sentence, she gave off a temperament that would cause people’s hearts to turn.
Hearing this, Yu Qingyang hurriedly agreed.
Taoist Xia Yuan nodded her head. She was just an honorary disciple of Gangli Accumulation Realm, and there was even a favor for her. Naturally, she did not care too much about Qingyang, so her words of encouragement were only for the sake of her fellow senior brother.
Seeing that, the Taoist Jiangxin asked again: “Oh yes, I have been in charge of the Thousand Lake Valley for all these years, but I wonder if there are any new developments in the sect?”
Taoist Xia Yuan shook her head and said: “The inside of the sect is still the same. If there’s any change, it’s because the entire sect seems to have taken quite a bit of care in nurturing and roping in famous formation masters in the cultivation world.”
Taoist Jiangxin’s usually smiling and fat face turned serious for a moment before he said: “Is it because of the matter of Jiu Si ascending to the Immortal Realm and Yang Junshan a few years ago?”
The Taoist Xia Yuan shook her head hesitantly, and said uncertainly: “I heard that the various sects and immortal palaces have been monitoring the Western Mountain ever since they started. However, I can feel that the motive behind their actions is not simple.”
The Taoist Jiangxin asked curiously: “Junior sister, you mean to say, what they are concerned about is not the possibility that Yang Junshan could set up an immortal formation to block the Haotian’s mirror’s light?”
The Taoist Xia Yuan did not directly answer Taoist Jiangxin’s question, but instead said, “The sect has increased the frequency of repairing, maintaining and strengthening sect’s great protective formation, and this matter does not only seem to be done by our sect. The other top sects seem to be doing the same thing, could it be that a great formation grandmaster with attainments like Taoist Yang is able to cultivate it through these methods?”
“That’s true, looks like the motive for the various powers to pay attention to Taoist Yang is not simple!”
Then, he suddenly thought of something, and jokingly said: “Speaking of Taoist Yang, I’m afraid that the seniors of the sect are now extremely regretful. Brother, I remember that at that time, the Dongliu Grandmaster held Taoist Yang in quitigh regard, and even wanted to pair up with Junior Sister and Taoist Yang. Unfortunately, at that time, Taoist Yang and the family behind him weren’t even part of the sect yet, but when he mentioned this matter, it was rejected by the seniors without hesitation.
