Chapter 1021 Cave Mansion
Chu Liezhao laughed and said, "You've activated the secret technique once, can you activate it again?"

Li Miaotan also stared at him with suspicion, wary of his unusual movements.

She couldn't believe that a great Venerable One, a seventh-level Venerable One, would surrender and beg for mercy so readily.

Although a seventh-level Venerable is afraid of death, he is even more afraid of death than a lower-level Venerable.

However, the Seventh-Rank Venerable was even more proud and arrogant, and could not tolerate any damage to his dignity. He would rather die standing than live kneeling.

Lei Gang said in a deep voice, "I believe this news is worth my life."

Chu Liezhao laughed and said, "I'd like to hear what kind of news could be worth the life of a seventh-level Venerable."

Lei Gang said, "The disciples of Jade Kunlun Palace and Zixiao Jade Pavilion have discovered a cave that may contain spiritual treasures."

Chu Liezhao was taken aback and turned to look at Li Miaotan.

Li Miaotan frowned slightly: "Another new cave dwelling has appeared? Whose cave dwelling is it?"

Lei Gang shook his head: "We can only find out this much. We can't find out any more details... This cave is very likely related to spiritual treasures, otherwise the two sects wouldn't be so concerned."

The four major sects frequently engaged in open and covert struggles, and planting spies was common, so they were very vigilant.

It's too difficult for this kind of nail to get into the core layer, and even if it does, it can't get into the very core.

The mole planted in the Purple Cloud Jade Pavilion, deducing this information from the smallest details, had already reached its limit.

“A cave dwelling…” Chu Liezhao laughed, “If there are spiritual treasures… but ordinary cave dwellings can’t produce spiritual treasures.”

The wondrous uses of magical treasures are fully embodied in the Swift Light Sword.

Of course, he also had the enhancement of the Spirit Abyss Cleansing Record, and with the Swift Light Sword, he was able to unleash such amazing power.

Both the Heavenly Illusion Pavilion and the Heavenly Concealment Pearl have endless uses and amazing power.

His ability to kill Wen Siming with a single blow was due to the combined effect of his two magical treasures, which made it so easy for him to succeed.

Although he has enough spiritual treasures now, he still has Chu Zhiyuan and Leng Tieya.

You can never have too many magical treasures; each one has its own unique wonders.

Especially Chu Zhiyuan, he can't stay hidden in the Demon Subduing Palace all day long to cultivate, he also needs to go out for a walk.

With the protection of a spiritual treasure, it is even more secure.

Lei Gang said, "When the disciples of Zixiao Jade Pavilion were being chased by the disciples of Jade Kunlun Palace, they accidentally discovered this cave. The disciples of Jade Kunlun Palace also saw it and sent back messages. The two sects quickly decided to excavate the cave together, keeping the news extremely secret... If it were an ordinary cave, they wouldn't be so concerned."

"Keep it a secret..." Li Miaotan shook her head.

Are the four major sects trying to keep secrets from each other?

Whether it's the four major sects of Yuanzhen or the four major sects of the Phoenix Dynasty, they are all intertwined and interconnected.

Lei Gang said, "This time they kept the information very secret. Only our sect knows about it. The other two sects don't know, and I estimate that the other three sects of Phoenix don't know either."

Li Miaotan frowned slightly.

She pondered and recalled the attitudes of the ten venerable ones, trying to catch any clues from their subtle expressions and verbal interactions.

Chu Liezhao said, "It seems that the secrecy this time was very successful."

Based on his judgment, Fengtian Palace was unfathomable, and the other three sects were unaware of it.

They were all elders guarding the villa, and had extremely high access to information.

The sect knew, and so did they; how could they not show jealousy and dissatisfaction?

Lei Gang said, "Can this news save my life?"

A single magical treasure is worth more than the life of a great venerable one.

Chu Lie Zhao said, "Please!"

Lei Gang didn't leave immediately: "You really want to let me go?"

Chu Liezhao said, "Keeping promises is also part of my cultivation philosophy."

The cost of dealing with Lei Gang was too high, so Lei Gang never showed any hatred or murderous intent.

More importantly, Lei Gang is a straightforward and honest person, so there's no need to be too wary of him.

He went back and boasted about his power, thus intimidating the various sects of Yuanzhen.

Even if Emperor Yuanzhen wanted to take action, there was no one he could send.

Establishing authority requires not only from the Five Phoenix Sects, but also from the Four Yuanzhen Sects and Emperor Yuanzhen.

It can save a lot of trouble.

Maybe things will become quiet from now on.

Lei Gang nodded slowly: "No wonder you've progressed so quickly and your cultivation is so high."

Everyone knows that the princes of the Jade Emperor Dynasty practice the Infinite Light Sutra.

To make rapid progress, one must align with the principles of the Infinite Light Sutra and cultivate a luminous state of mind.

The deeper the connection, the faster the progress, and the higher the level.

Chu Lie Zhao attained the status of a Venerable One, and his state of mind was naturally bright and flawless.

This is why Lei Gang readily shared the information without any haggling.

He believed that Chu Liezhao was a sincere person and would not renege on his promise. Moreover, Chu Liezhao's reputation for integrity had already spread far and wide.

Li Miaotan snorted, "Mr. Lei, aren't you leaving yet?"

Lei Gang said, "Since Your Highness is so benevolent, then I will also give you a reminder."

"What?" Li Miaotan asked.

Lei Gang said, "That Purple Night Spirit Sword won't be so easy to seize."

Li Miaotan looked down at the short sword in her hand, her slender fingers stroking the blade with obvious delight.

Lei Gang laughed and said, "This Purple Cloud Divine Sword is different from ordinary spiritual weapons; it can automatically return."

Li Miaotan frowned slightly: "So you'll break free and run back on your own?"

"Yes," Lei Gang said. "This sword was once taken by an elder of our sect, but he ran back to it, which was a waste of effort."

Chu Liezhao asked, "What if we refine it in time?"

“Its refining method is unique,” ​​Lei Gang said. “It is so secret that only the Pavilion Master probably knows it. Even Wen Siming didn’t know it before. Old Wen could only activate it once.”

Li Miaotan snorted, "Then let's sever its connection with the Pavilion Master of Zixiao Jade Pavilion."

Lei Gang said, "That Pavilion Master is at the Ninth Rank; unless the Spirit Venerable intervenes, we'll have to wait."

The Spirit Lord would never intervene over such a trivial matter.

The Spirit Lord would not even appear unless the court faced a life-or-death crisis.

They don't even exist in this world; they're probably in some other realm.

Li Miaotan frowned slightly and looked at Chu Liezhao.

Before she obtained the Purple Cloud Divine Sword, before she examined it closely, and before Chu Liezhao gave it to her, she wouldn't have been so anxious about losing it.

Now that Chu Liezhao has given it to her, she is examining it closely and can't put it down.

But then you say you'll gain something only to lose it again?
It is harder to accept to gain something and then lose it again than to have never had it at all.

Chu Liezhao asked, "Does Mr. Lei have a brilliant solution?"

Lei Gang shook his head and said, "If there really were a way, it would already belong to our sect."

Chu Liezhao said, "Afterwards, didn't your clan properly study any countermeasures?"

He felt that if it were him, he would definitely try his best to find a solution.

Tianli Snow Peak is also a top-tier sect, and naturally it operates in the same way. It would never be willing to encounter the same situation again.

Lei Gang said, "We've studied it, but there's been no progress. We can only cut it with brute force; there's no other way, but we don't have that brute force."

"Yes, I understand." Chu Liezhao sighed, "The spiritual power of a Ninth-Rank Venerable is indeed very difficult to sever."

He clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lei. Please excuse me for not seeing you off further."

Lei Gang said, "Then I'm leaving!"

He clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned around, and drifted away.

Li Miaotan stared at his retreating figure, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "Is there really no other way?"

She also found it difficult.

Chu Liezhao said, "Why don't we ask the Emperor if he has any ideas, or Fengtian Palace? We are not like Tianli Snow Peak."

Tianli Snow Peak may be helpless, but the Phoenix Emperor might not be, and there's also Fengtian Palace, which is superior to Tianli Snow Peak.

He felt that if the Imperial Palace had a Nine-Turn Venerable, then Fengtian Palace should also have one.

It surpasses even the Purple Cloud Jade Pavilion; it might very well be able to wear down the spiritual power within the sword.

Li Miaotan immediately perked up and smiled: "That's right, find Father Emperor."

She immediately frowned slightly: "Then where is the cave? Shall we find it ourselves?"

Chu Liezhao pondered.

Finally, he slowly said, "Let's not trouble the Emperor with this matter; let's try it ourselves."

“Okay.” Li Miaotan nodded readily.

She also felt it was best not to alarm others about the matter of the cave dwelling, otherwise she and Chu Liezhao would have nothing to do with it.

Even if the emperor managed to seize the Lingbao, he wouldn't give it to them.

Given Chu Liezhao's abilities, he might very well be able to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

Chu Liezhao drew a portal of light, and the two stepped into it and disappeared without a trace.

The next moment they returned to the Prince Consort's residence.

Li Miaotan went directly to the palace.

She was racing against time, fearing that the Purple Night Divine Sword would leave on its own.

Chu Liezhao paced back and forth in the courtyard, pondering how to find out the location of the cave.

The most satisfying thing would be to enter the cave a step ahead and clear it out completely.
