Chapter 1624 Loophole

The sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky. High in the sky, a ray of light passed quickly. While walking, it suddenly paused and looked not far away.

"Who is hiding? Why don't you show up yet?"

"You seem to be looking for me? It just so happens that I am also looking for you." A figure appeared in the void, and a monk wearing a robe and a sword appeared.

"It's you." Yuan Jian's pupils shrank suddenly. Although he had not seen the person's true face, he could guess the identity of the person in front of him at a glance. He was the mysterious late Mahayana monk who ambushed Tangning for all these years.

After digging through the iron filings and finding no place, it took no effort to get there. After years of painstaking efforts, he still couldn't find any valuable clues. The target showed up unexpectedly. Yuan Jian didn't feel any joy in his heart. Instead, he had an ominous premonition hanging over him.

"Who is your Excellency?" Yuan Jian looked at the person in front of him warily.

"Aren't you looking for me? I just have time now. I want to know, why are you looking for me?"

"Your Excellency once ambushed Tang Ning in Qingzhou. Although I don't know about your grudges, Tang Ning is also my archenemy. Maybe we can cooperate. What do you think?"

"Haha, I see. I thought you had found clues to my true identity. It seems I have overthought it."

Listening to the sinister laughter of the mysterious man in front of him, Yuan Jian felt increasingly uneasy: "I don't care about your true identity. If you want to deal with Tangning, I am willing to help you unconditionally."

"Okay! Let me borrow something from you first."

"what?"

"Your head."

Before he finished speaking, the world suddenly changed. The originally clear sky turned into an independent space filled with colorful brilliance.

Yuan Jian's pupils shrank suddenly, and the next moment, the space shrank sharply, and colorful thread-like objects tightly wrapped around him.

…………

Donglai County, in the vast valley, high in the sky, a huge object fell from the sky, raising a huge cloud of dust that covered the sky and the sun.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. A man passed by from above. He turned his eyes and saw that there seemed to be a foreign object in the valley below. He looked down until he saw the appearance of the foreign object clearly. The man looked horrified and suddenly took a breath. It was a huge dragon head, and the surrounding area was dyed red with bright red blood.

………

In Cangminghai, the headquarters of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, in a dark room, a burly man pushed open the door and saluted respectfully to the white-haired, boy-faced old man sitting inside: "Master Jiang, what are your instructions to me?"

The old man said calmly: "Tang Ning from Taixuan Sect, what's the latest news?"

"As far as we know, Qingzhou has been peaceful in recent years. Tangning has been staying at the coalition headquarters in Linzi County, Qingzhou. No important news has been sent."

"This person is extremely extraordinary. Your understanding of him is too superficial. You cannot passively investigate past information. You need to take the initiative to understand deeply."

"Yes, I will convey it to the president immediately."

"I just read the investigation file you submitted again, and there is an important loophole that you did not check."

"Please give me your instructions."

"You have only investigated his interpersonal relationships, his internal situation within Taixuan Sect, and his movements in Qingzhou. But there is one place that you have not explored, and that is the World of Artifact Spirits."

"The world of weapon spirits? This subordinate doesn't understand. Please clarify."

The old man said slowly: "Judging from his growth path, before he joined Taixuan Sect, his performance had been mediocre, and his cultivation progress was very slow. After leaving Xingang and joining Taixuan Sect, his life began to change, and his cultivation level His progress is gradually accelerating, and he is no longer inferior to the best in Taixuan Sect. But what really changes him is his transition from integration to Mahayana."

"Before this stage, he went to the spirit world and disappeared there for three to four hundred years. Isn't this worth noting?"

"Before he went to the Artifact Realm, he only had cultivation in the middle stage of Void Refining. Although he showed a certain potential, compared with the rapid development of his cultivation after that, it is still within the normal range."

"After he went to the Artifact Realm, he disappeared for three to four hundred years. His cultivation reached the late stage of Void Refining, and he succeeded in the integration not long after he came back."

"Then he stayed in the Qingzhou Allied Forces for a period of time, disappeared for six hundred years, and then stepped from integration to the Mahayana realm. After four hundred years, he advanced to the middle stage of the Mahayana realm."

"Taken together, what really made him extraordinary was after he went to the Artifact World. This was an important watershed, and you actually ignored this place."

The burly man nodded and said, "I understand."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly: "There is another point worth pondering here. He disappeared for six hundred years when he was in the Mahayana stage. During this period, his wife Liu Ruhan also went to the spirit world and met her teacher. Nangong Muxue has been missing for several years."

The man asked in shock: "What do you mean? Did he go to the Artifact Spirit World during the six hundred years since he disappeared? Did he go to the Artifact Spirit World during the years when his wife and Nangong Muxue disappeared in the Artifact Spirit World? This is unlikely! There is only one spatial passage to and from the Weapon Spirit World, and it is in our hands. How could he go to the Weapon Spirit World quietly? Moreover, the Weapon Spirit World’s spiritual energy is meager and not suitable for cultivation. If he really went to the Weapon Spirit World, How is it possible to break through to the Mahayana realm so quickly?”

"The reason why a secret is a secret is because it contains facts that others cannot imagine. You think it is impossible for him to secretly go to the Spirit World. Do you think it is possible for him to break through from the combination to the Mahayana in 600 years and break through to the middle stage of the Mahayana in 400 years? Compared with this, what is so strange about secretly going to the Spirit World through unknown channels?"

The man was silent, thinking.

"Immediately organize a team to go to the Spirit World to find out where he went and what happened to him during the three or four hundred years he was missing."

"Yes, I will tell the president immediately and organize people to enter the Spirit World."

………

Qingzhou, Linzi County, the headquarters of the coalition forces.

Han Chaoyang pushed the door open in the dimly lit room and bowed respectfully to Han Siyuan who was sitting cross-legged, saying, "Uncle, I just received the latest intelligence about the Mubei coalition. Yuan Jian of the Qingjiao tribe was killed and his head was thrown in a deserted valley outside Donglai County."

Han Siyuan's eyes condensed: "Yuan Jian is dead? Who did it?"

"I don't know yet."

"I know."

"Tang Ning's words against Peacock King Yunfei in the meeting hall have been quietly released. It won't be long before Yunfei knows about this."

Han Siyuan glanced at him and said nothing.

Han Chaoyang retreated silently. He had followed Han Siyuan for many years. He could accurately understand Han Siyuan's intentions with a look or a small movement.

Although Han Siyuan did not ask for this personally, he knew that this was what he expected.

Tang Ning's rapid rise may be a good thing for the entire sect, but it is not the case for him.

Tang Ning's existence, especially his growing reputation in recent years, and his cultivation level being equal to his own, has seriously threatened his position.

Others may not know, but he knows that Han Siyuan has already regarded Tang Ning as a thorn in his side.

Because his position is not solid, in terms of cultivation level, he is only in the middle stage of the Mahayana, and it is a bit of a stretch for him to take over the position of the headmaster of Taixuan Sect.

In terms of prestige, his position in Taixuan Sect is not deeply rooted and difficult to shake.

Tang Ning's rise is like a dazzling comet, and his light has completely overshadowed him.

And the two of them had some grudges in the past. As Tang Ning, who joined the sect halfway, would never support Han Siyuan even if he was not qualified to be the headmaster.

The two of them knew this very well.

By now, he has completely lost the ability to suppress Tang Ning and can only take advantage of the situation to attack.

And this time, it is a great opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation to attack, let Tang Ning and Peacock King fight to the death, no matter who falls, it is in his interest.

The purpose of spreading Tang Ning's words in the meeting hall was to anger the Peacock King, make him hate Tang Ning, and make the two fight to the death, preferably with both sides injured.

………

The sun was shining brightly, the sky was cloudless, and the sea was calm.

Between the lonely islands, a beam of light shot out, revealing Tang Ning's figure.

He flipped his hand, and the purple light of the boundary-breaking bead burst out. The dense runes escaped from the cage like chains and intersected in mid-air.

As time passed, a stable rotating purple light hole was formed.

His figure flashed and entered the inner room, passing through the deep and dark space passage, and came to the independent space inside. Looking around, there was an endless desert.

Tang Ning's eyes swept over and he could see several hidden figures around him. When his figure fell, those figures turned from virtual to real and revealed their true appearance. The person in the lead was Yan Jiuzheng.

"Why are you here? What's the matter?" Yan Jiuzheng looked at him with some vigilance.

"I have something for you to do." Tang Ning was actually worried. He took a big risk coming here alone. After all, they only had a verbal agreement, and this kind of agreement had no binding force at all, not to mention that he had killed Feng Qinghan.

Previously, he brought a large group of strong men from the dead world with him, and he was not afraid of them in terms of strength. Now he was alone. If the other party had bad intentions, he would be outnumbered.

"What's the matter?"

"It's not convenient to talk here. Come out with me." Tang Ning said, and without waiting for his reply, he flashed and drilled into the purple light hole rotating in the sky again.

There is a saying that a person of a thousand gold should not sit in the hall, and a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. He did not want to put himself in danger and risk his life on the innocent speculations of these people, so he left here in a hurry while the space channel was not closed.

If the space channel was closed, it would take a long time for him to open it again. During this period, if the other party had bad intentions, they would have no way to escape in that independent space.

Several people looked at his departing back in surprise and confusion, and looked at each other in bewilderment for a moment.
