Chapter 104: The Return of Some People

  As for the purpose of this trip, Lu Kang's face turned solemn.

  "On the Dragon Platform, Li Xianweng from Wanshengu Valley met with misfortune. I, Yuè Zōng, am in charge of investigating! As he said this, he paused for a moment and let out a sigh, as if he had encountered some sort of difficulty. 'To be honest, after investigating until today, there are still no significant leads.'"

  Kong Zhan lowered his head, and others couldn't see his expression. Under the shadow, a faint smile that was hard to detect appeared on his face, but it was unclear what he was smiling about.

  "However, although I didn't find out who the murderer was, in the process of investigation, I discovered several extremely strange things that may be related to the Demon Gate!"

  "What's with the Demon Gate?!" Kong Zhuo raised his head, a strange expression appearing on his face. "Isn't the Demon Gate already crippled?"

  "A hundred years can change many things!" Lu Kang had not yet spoken, when Ling Jia Shangren took over, "From the situation of the Longtai Xianhui meeting, the current Demon Gate has recovered some of its vitality. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to kill Li Xianweng of Wanshengu in front of so many cultivators!"

  With one sentence, he directly splashed the water onto Mo Men's body.

  She struggled with her lips for a moment, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn't say it.

  "This time, Road Dao friend came to our Luofu, it is precisely because of the abnormal movement of the Demon Gate!" Ling Jia Shangren's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and the muscles on his face began to tense up, with an air of unprovoked majesty. "During the investigation into the murder of Li Xianweng, the Moon Sect discovered several strongholds of the Demon Gate, which were extremely harmful, so they decided to join forces with our Orthodox Sects to wipe out these Demon Gate strongholds one by one!"

  Chang Yue on the side still didn't think much of it. Although he knew about the three sects of Ri Yue Xing, his understanding of their internal affairs was not as good as Kong Zhao's.

  Three Religions United Orthodox School!

  This sentence actually contains deep meaning, after so many years, the three sects of Ri Yue Xing have been hiding behind the scenes, to say something unpleasant, they all belong to the turtle, and now, they have run to the sun. United Orthodox Sect.

  Is Mount Emei okay?

  It seems like there's something...

  Subconsciously, he raised his head and cast a questioning gaze at Lingga Shangren.

  Instead of a warm welcome, he was met with an icy stare that sent shivers down his spine. Kong Zhuo lowered his head and said, "Since this time is a collaboration between the Three Religions and various Orthodox Sects, any Orthodox Sect can participate, and at the same time, they also have the obligation to let their disciples participate. As one of the six major sects in the world, Luo Fu naturally cannot decline. You, Lu Shibo, came here today specifically to discuss this matter with him!"

  "Me?!"

  With a tone of questioning.

  "Who else but you? You are a disciple of Luo Fu, and also a member of the Moon Sect. This time, with the joint movement, do you think you can hide in peace?" said Ling Jia Shang Ren.

  "No, no, no! Master said with a smile. To eradicate the evil path is a righteous deed that follows the natural order of heaven and earth. How dare I, as a disciple, hide in quietness? Wherever my help is needed, please instruct me!"

  Upon hearing this, Ling Ga and Li Yuanhua exchanged a glance and nodded in satisfaction.

  "This is a very important matter! Because this time, the Three Sects and the Six Great Schools are taking joint action, and it's been so many years since the Three Sects have truly made a public appearance in the cultivation world!"

  Ling Ga's tone suddenly became heavier. Then.

  Everything was automatically ignored by Kong Zhuo until the last sentence, "Because of your extraordinary strength and being a member of the Moon Sect, you have completed one mission, so I'll let you lead three third-generation disciples from other sects to the Southern Wilderness to investigate the Demon Gate's influence and power there!"

  It's very strange to say.

  Three third-generation disciples from other sects?!

  How did this matter get involved with other factions again? Haven't these three sects been learning from others, shrinking their heads into their crotches like turtles for nearly a hundred years?

  But now it seems not to be the time to raise such a question. Kong Zhan just smiled and nodded, without saying anything else.

  The chill of winter has already deepened, in the gloomy sky, leaden clouds hang low, tightly covering the originally small and pitiful sun.

  The north wind was blowing strongly, occasionally bringing a few strands of icy snowflakes.

  It's going to snow!

  Just as Kong Zhuan was leisurely inspecting his gains and losses on Mount Luofu, in the far north, an invisible cold current had quietly formed on the ice field that had not melted for thousands of years. In the near future, it would sweep across the entire Central Plains.

  "Master!" Chen Sen was extremely respectful, standing on the ice plain, his originally cold face showing a rare warmth. In front of him stood a man in white clothes.

  A man in white clothes as white as frost.

  His silver-white hair didn't reveal his age at all, and his face was as young as a primary school student's, making people jealous.

  This person exuded a chilling aura all over his body, as if he had just come out of an ice cellar for thousands of years, without any signs of life.

  "Is everything all right?" The voice was cold, but couldn't conceal the magnetism within, blending with the chilly tone to give people a strange and eerie feeling.

  "Good, but also bad!"

  "It's been thousands of years since we last met, and you've actually learned how to use those bald-headed flying machines!"

  "Disciple dare not!" Chen Sen's face stiffened, and his head hung even lower. "Disciple didn't mean that, disciple meant to say that the cultivation world is still the same as it was several thousand years ago, with little change. The bad meaning refers to... recently, there might be some changes!"

  "What change?!" The man in white turned his head, "What kind of change?"

  "The Conflict Between Demonic Gate and Orthodox Path!"

  "Devil's Gate and the Righteous Path?!" The man in white showed a puzzled expression, "Isn't this matter already settled by the Heavenly Destruction?"

  Chen Sen's mouth twitched twice, and a strange bitter smile appeared on his face. "A hundred years ago, the three sects of Ri Yue Xing abandoned their original stance and joined forces with the Orthodox Sect to expel the Demon Gate!"

  The man in white's face suddenly froze, "Abandoned his stance?"

  "Yes, abandoned his position!"

  "Hehe, haha!" The man in white clothes slightly curled up the corners of his mouth and let out a sound that could barely be called laughter. "If Cang Tian were to hear this news, he would definitely vomit blood!"

  "Senior Qingyuan, didn't you come back with the Master?" Chen Sen hesitated and asked cautiously, looking at the man in white.

  "No, he has his own business, I have mine!" The man in white said, "However, it seems that this time, he's going to cause a lot of trouble for everyone!"

  Everyone

  When he heard these two words, Chen Sen's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

  The man in white closed his eyes, took a light breath, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Chen Sen, "Nowadays, the cultivation world seems to be much worse than before!"

  Chen Sen nodded, "It's already in a state of disarray. The Orthodox Sect and the Demonic Sect, those who have reached the Dao Realm, do not exceed ten people. Even those in the Void Realm are only about one-fifth of what they were a few years ago!"

  "Ten of you, did you count yourself in?"

  "It's all gone!" Chen Sen sighed, "The current cultivation world has completely declined!"

  "Maybe, but that's none of my business!" The white-clothed person's body gradually became fainter, "I still need to stay on this ice field for a while, you go back first!"

  "Yes, Master!" Chen Sen bowed his head and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing on the ice plain.

  Chen Sen disappeared, and the man in white raised an eyebrow.

  "Look at you!"

  "Your apprentice is quite good!" A soft voice rose, and then a short figure appeared beside him.

  The man was wrapped from head to toe in a black robe, with even his face completely covered, leaving only two dark and gloomy eyes exposed.

  "I'm not asking about my disciple, I'm asking about the vast sky!" The man in white robes said coldly. "That thing, Day Moon Star, was created by him, and according to his personality and abilities, it's impossible for him to let his established sect deviate from its principles. But now, his principles have been broken!"

  "What do you want to say?" the man in black said coldly.

  "The heavens are playing tricks!" said the man in white, "And it seems that something big is about to happen!"

  The man in black was taken aback, "Then what do you want to do?!" Suddenly, he seemed to feel that something was wrong and said, "This is unreasonable. If it's really as you say, the three sects have deviated from his principles for a hundred years. That means he came back a hundred years ago and changed the principles he originally set. If so, then a hundred years ago, he would have done everything!"

  "There's another possibility!" The man in white narrowed his eyes.

  "You're saying that the three departures from orthodoxy were also part of the principles he set up back then!"

  "Is it time to abandon our stance?" The man in white chuckled, "That guy from the Azure Sky, he's really thorough, isn't he? It's been a hundred years since the Three Religions abandoned their stances. Looks like even if he hasn't returned yet, his return is already not far off!"

  "That's really interesting!" The man in black said, although his face couldn't be seen clearly, but a thick smile could be heard from his voice, "Returning to this world, it feels really good!"
