Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 1340: Chapter 25 Arrangement_2 Chapter 1340: Chapter 25 Arrangement_2 In his mind, he involuntarily recalled the image of the young figure that had dealt him an immense blow earlier.

But quickly, Yang Que’s eyes flashed with a touch of calmness.

“You’re the same.”

He then descended toward the Imperial Capital below, but before he had landed, he slightly turned his head to look into the distance.

“A Sound Transmission Talisman?”

A streak of light was speeding toward him from the distant sky.

It was indeed a specially made Sound Transmission Talisman.

As soon as his Spiritual Sense entered, Yang Que frowned:

“The losses of the five sects are quite substantial.”

“Was that cultivator skilled in illusions, the Deputy Sect Master from the Fenglin Continent’s primitive Demonic Sect?”

“It seems the cultivators of Fenglin Continent are in cahoots with those heretical Evil Gods.

Well, after I accomplish my mission, I’ll first sweep away the heretical Evil Gods, and then clean up Fenglin Continent as well.”

Thinking this.

...

The cultivators in the Imperial Capital below sensed his aura and flew up to him.

A white-haired elderly man with a Nascent Soul Perfect stared at Yang Que with immense respect and said:

“Nine Line Duke.”

The title, Nine Line Duke, was Yang Que’s honorary title, and almost the highest noble rank an outsider could achieve in the Qian dynasty.

Yang Que nodded slightly:

“How’s everything?

Nothing problematic while I was away, I hope?”

The white-haired elder chuckled:

“Who would dare to touch a tiger’s whiskers even if the Nine Line Duke isn’t in the Imperial Capital?”

Yang Que hesitated, then asked:

“Have any overseas cultivators come here?”

“Overseas cultivators?”

The white-haired elder hesitated, then shook his head:

“No, our sent people saw none.”

Yang Que frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked:

“What about the Eighth Prince?”

The white-haired elder showed a troubled expression:

“He is still hiding in the palace.

The palace is protected; we can’t break in.”

Yang Que snorted:

“Stubborn and foolish, I had hoped to give him some dignity…

Never mind him, he’ll run out of supplies eventually with only what’s in his Storage Treasure.

Now, go do two things.”

The white-haired elder quickly responded, “Please instruct me, Nine Line Duke.”

Yang Que did not stand on ceremony, saying straightaway:

“The first thing is to immediately send someone to check on the state of the five sects.

I’ve received news that their high-ranking members suffered heavy losses.

We can’t miss this opportunity.

Also notify all cultivators of Qian that I intend to re-establish the orthodox power of Qian, and thereby widely invite chivalrous heroes from all over…”

The elder perked up immediately, “It is about time you did so, Nine Line Duke.

Your call alone will surely rally the towns under heaven!”

Yang Que didn’t care for the flattery and continued:

“The second thing, dispatch men immediately to thoroughly investigate the roots of that heresy that started rising more than a hundred years ago.

This task is even more important than the former!”

Seeing how serious Yang Que’s expression was, the white-haired elder also took on a solemn tone:

“I’ll arrange it immediately.”

Yang Que nodded.

As he watched the backs of the white-haired elder and a group of cultivators hastily leaving, he slightly raised his head to gaze at the Dragon Transformation Pool in mid-air.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable.

…

“Before Hall Master Guan left, he just told us he’d be back shortly after his departure, but unexpectedly, he didn’t return.”

Wanxiang Sect.

Zhen Boen narrated the last scene he saw of Guan Ao with a grave expression.

Wang Ba furrowed his brows.

Beside him, Qu Shentong’s face also showed deep contemplation as he asked:

“Did he say anything else besides that?”

Zhen Boen shook his head:

“No, he seemed to be prepared to return, so he didn’t leave any other messages.”

Wang Ba and Qu Shentong exchanged a heavy look, evidently, there had been some unforeseen sudden incident that prevented Guan Ao from returning in time.

And the implications of what might keep someone of Guan Ao’s near Immortal Ascension strength from returning were indeed fodder for serious contemplation.

Wang Ba furrowed his eyebrows and then said:

“Based on the information we have, it’s most likely that the True Spirit associated with the Dragon Pool acted, either suddenly abducting Hall Master Guan or deceitfully lured him away, preventing him from even sending us a message…

I was careless not to foresee the Dragon Pool True Spirit acting so decisively.

I ask the Sect Master to punish me.”

Qu Shentong slightly shook his head:

“The Deputy Sect Master’s intention was also for the sake of the sect, and those disciples who went did indeed greatly benefit and gained substantially.

Now, our priority is to determine where exactly Hall Master Guan is—whether he has been captured in the Dragon Pool or if it’s something else.”

Wang Ba said solemnly:

“I’ll continue investigations in Huangji Continent.”

Qu Shentong nodded, advising:

“Hall Master Guan’s soul lamp is still lit; there’s no need to panic…

If something feels wrong, come back immediately.”

The two quickly settled on a plan.

However, just as Wang Ba was about to employ the Minor Complete Heaven Escape Divine Skill to depart, he suddenly heard Pang Xiu’s voice calling for him.

After seeking a brief confirmation from Qu Shentong, he hurriedly alighted in the Myriad Library.

Jiang Yi, a bald-headed female cultivator in a Daoist robe, was waiting for Wang Ba with a somewhat solemn expression.

As soon as she saw him, she immediately said something which surprised Wang Ba:

“Your previous guess was not wrong, but your disciple’s Immortal Ascension Inheritance is not problematic.

The real issue is with the Nascent Soul Inheritances that the other disciples brought back—those that came without any restrictions.”

“In these inheritance cultivation methods, I have discovered a commonality.”

Wang Ba’s expression turned serious, vaguely guessing something but still asked:

“What is it?”

Jiang Yi’sexpression was grave:

“A defect in the cultivation method that can stimulate Nascent Soul cultivators to explode with enough power in a very short time to make an Immortal Ascension breakthrough.”
