Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 421 The Vastness of Humanity
In the Valley of Burial Swords, Yun Yi and Feng Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief after removing the Water Mirror spell.

Fortunately, the call was made before the message reached the old master's ears; otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to make amends.

Yun Yi said, "By the way, didn't I give you a brocade pouch before? Give it back."

Feng Mo: "Why is that?"

Yun Yi: "I guess we won't need it."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't the old Celestial Master say he was expelling you from the sect?"

"I'll go back after I've dealt with the Overturning Heaven Gate."

Yun Yi: "In my opinion, we should make this a real show."

Feng Mo was taken aback: "Fake act turned real? Brother Yun, I don't quite understand what you're saying."

Yun Yi pointed out, "Fool, do you really want to be Zhong Wanxin's master and disciple for the rest of your life?!"

Feng Mo suddenly realized what was happening, and then felt a wave of embarrassment, freezing on the spot and speechless.

He was an honest man, and actually took out a brocade pouch from his Sumeru Ring and handed it over, but he was a little curious: "Brother Yun, what exactly did you write inside?"

Yun Yi, however, insisted on keeping everyone in suspense. He burned the brocade pouch completely and said with a smile, "I'm just advising you not to do anything rash. If you find yourself nowhere to go in this vast world, remember to come and find me."

Feng Mo had no doubts about the deception and exclaimed, "I never expected that Brother Yun would have foreseen this day back then."

Yun Yi quickly waved his hand: "I was just joking with you. I just know that the righteous path values ​​propriety, righteousness, integrity and a sense of shame, so I guessed that if you and Zhong Wanxin wanted to get married, there would definitely be many difficulties to overcome. I didn't expect that Jiang Hongye would appear in the middle and make things like this."

Feng Mo let out a long sigh, feeling troubled and fearful.

He asked, "You said before that you were going to take action against the Overturning Heaven Pavilion, when?"

Yun Yi: "It will be soon, but before that, I think you have some things to take care of."

Feng Mo frowned, his face full of worry: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from Brother Yun... My master has never left the Righteous Qi Sect all these years, and I am really worried about her."

Yun Yi thought to himself, "It's a shame you still have the mind to worry about Zhong Wanxin. You should be thinking about how you're going to explain yourself later."

As it turns out, Feng Mo's concerns were entirely correct.

Although Zhong Wanxin was extremely anxious, she was like a headless fly, not knowing where to begin.

Unfortunately, he had spoken rather hastily to the old master earlier, and now he was too ashamed to go back and ask for his advice.

Zhong Wanxin rubbed her forehead, thinking that Feng Mo had always managed all the mundane affairs perfectly, and over the years he had actually turned his master into a "useless person".

She didn't have the bronze mirror that allowed the Celestial Master to contact Feng Mo, because Feng Mo would always pay his respects on time, and she never had to worry about not being able to find her precious disciple.

Her residence was in the same bamboo grove as her apprentice's, and the two had even shared a room when they were children. However, as her apprentice grew up, he insisted on moving out to avoid any appearance of impropriety, and even built his own house.

Zhong Wanxin strolled through the bamboo forest and found Feng Moqing's quiet residence. She looked around the house but found no clues.

As if possessed, she picked up a book from the table, flipped through it randomly, and found that it was a blank page.

But there was a small portrait drawn on it, a woman, and upon closer inspection... wasn't that herself?

Zhong Wanxin murmured, "It does look quite similar."

She then felt it was inappropriate to look through her apprentice's personal belongings, so she quickly closed the book and put it back. At the same time, thinking about the terrible trouble he had caused outside, she became even more worried.

We must find him and Jiang Hongye quickly. If he has really made a grave mistake... I, as his master, must also share the consequences with him.

Zhong Wanxin made up her mind and finally left her Fenglu Gate.

But in this vast world, how easy is it to find someone?

She rode a magical artifact shaped like a hairpin, flying high into the sky. Looking down at the endless mountains and rivers below, a sense of powerlessness gradually welled up in her heart.

"Feng Mo, where are you?"

……

Meanwhile, Murong Xuan used the Great Evolution Escape Talisman to escape from Fumo Peak and headed south without stopping, clearly heading towards Jue Tian Cliff.

Although he moved quickly, his whereabouts could still be found by careful investigation. However, Feng Mo had "killed" Jiang Hongye with a single sword strike, so Lu Ziwei and Yun Yi could only let him leave.

However, there was another person who quietly followed them all the way, and that was Wen Daoxian.

Previously, Yixian Lake was almost destroyed by Po Jun. Wen Daoxian's trip was not only to support Yun Yi, but also to discuss with Brother Yun how to take revenge.

He put away the eye-catching Tianhai Treasure Ship and didn't rush to catch up with Murong Xuan. He simply followed his aura from a distance, hoping to find the lair of Futian Pavilion by following the clues.

Unexpectedly, this journey took thousands of miles, eventually leading them to a towering cliff that seemed to reach the clouds.

This place was deserted, and Wen Daoxian dared not get too close in order to avoid being exposed, and could only let Murong Xuan disappear from his perception.

When Zhao Wuxiang was "replaced" by Yu Wuxia, he mentioned the location of the remaining Heavenly Pillars, so Wen Daoxian also anticipated the plans of the Overturning Heaven Pavilion.

Clearly, the Heavenly Pillar of Jue Tian Cliff is their next target.

Murong Xuan thought he had accomplished a great mission. On the way, he also spread the news that Feng Mo had killed his master. Therefore, he felt quite smug when he returned to Jue Tian Cliff.

He bumped into Huangfu Song and laughed, "The grand plan is complete! Feng Mo will definitely turn against the Righteous Qi Sect, hahaha!"

Huangfusong gave him a look: "Come, come, let me introduce you first. We have a newcomer in our Futian Pavilion named Lan Zhenxin, who is the current leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect of the Demonic Sect."

Lan Zhenxin was peacefully refining Gu in a corner of the mountain, while Zhao Wuxiang was meditating and cultivating beside her.

Lord Po Jun had previously instructed that since the Pavilion Master had not yet returned, there were some things that Lan Zhenxin could not be involved in for the time being, and they could only be put on hold like this for now.

Zhao Wuxiang felt rather embarrassed and depressed. Seeing Huangfu Song being so cautious, he said sarcastically, "How about I take Fairy Lan away from here? So you won't be too embarrassed to speak."

Lan Zhenxin, however, was extremely magnanimous and said with a smile, "Could this be Senior Murong Xuan from the Nine Heavens Cloud Palace? I heard you went to the Demon Extermination Conference when I came, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Murong Xuan and Zhao Wuxiang were old acquaintances, so he wasn't angry with him. Instead, he said to Lan Zhenxin, "Don't worry, Sect Leader Lan. Now that we've joined the Overturning Heaven Pavilion, there's no longer any distinction between good and evil."

"That's good. I was just a little worried that Senior Murong might take action to exorcise the demon."

"Master Lan is joking."

At this moment, several more people approached from inside the mountain, inquiring about the situation outside. Among them was the alchemist who called himself "Immortal Crane Daoist," the person Lan Zhenxin was most wary of on this trip.

Murong Xuan briefly recounted the Demon Extermination Conference, mentioning that Feng Mo and Jiang Hongye had fallen victim to "Lord Tianlang's" divine power, resulting in fratricide—a truly gratifying situation. Lan Zhenxin secretly memorized the name "Lord Tianlang," thinking that among the three Ascended Realm cultivators in the Overturning Heaven Pavilion, the last one had finally revealed his true colors.

Judging from the group's reaction, it seems that Tianlang is not at Jue Tian Cliff, and only Po Jun is guarding this place at the moment.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess the plans of the Futian Pavilion. Now there are only two Heavenly Pillars left in the human world.

The Broken Army is at the Cliff of Absolute Heaven, naturally to be responsible for shattering the Heavenly Pillar there. Therefore, the remaining Heavenly Wolf must be in the Righteous Qi Continent, perhaps already enrolled in the Righteous Qi Sect, searching for that final Heavenly Pillar.

Lan Zhen thought to herself, "It's better if things get chaotic. I don't care what happens if the sky falls. I just want to teach you all a lesson you'll never forget."

However, upon hearing Murong Xuan mention the Demon Extermination Conference, she couldn't help but ask, "I wonder how the Demon Extermination Conference ended, and whether the Demon Sect suffered heavy casualties?"

Murong Xuan said, "Is Sect Leader Lan worried about his own Ten Thousand Poisons Sect? Don't worry, they haven't been involved in the trouble."

Zhao Wuxiang explained from the side, "Sect Leader Lan has a grudge against Yun Yi and wants to ask you about that kid's situation—he must have suffered a lot, right?"

Murong Xuan was fair-skinned and beardless, but his face was slightly dark at this moment. He recalled the young man who had broken through the Four Symbols Sword Formation one after another, and for a moment he did not know where to begin.

Zhao Wuxiang: "What's there to hide? Is he seriously injured? Lan Xianzi and I will go and kick him while he's down!"

Murong Xuan: "Don't go."

"What exactly happened? Explain yourself clearly."

"He used the Four Symbols Sword Formation to refine his Dharma form and made great progress in his cultivation. Even with the help of the Vermilion Bird Formation, I couldn't last even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn in his hands."

In fact, Murong Xuan saved face for himself and did not tell the truth.

To be precise, he only lasted for twenty moves before his Vermilion Bird Dharma Form was torn in two by his opponent, a truly tragic scene.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuxiang wailed repeatedly, "Oh no, oh no, how come Yun Yi just won't die?!"

A hint of hatred flashed in Lan Zhenxin's eyes. "It's alright. I will specially concoct a potent poison for him in the next few days, and it will surely take his life!"

She gritted her teeth when she mentioned Yun Yi, seemingly unconcerned about anything else.

The Crane Taoist was the one who recognized the "Perfect Gu" that day. He had been secretly watching Lan Zhenxin's every move these days, seemingly out of curiosity, but in reality for surveillance.

He asked curiously, "What kind of poison are you planning to concoct?"

Lan Zhenxin said, "I have dealt with Yun Yi a few times. He is extremely cunning. If we want to catch him in a trap, we must use a surprise attack."

The Crane Daoist asked, "Perhaps it could be like the Perfect Gu, seemingly used for healing, thus avoiding the cultivator's intuition."

"Or I could lay down dozens of spices on the cliff of Jue Tian. Simply coming into contact with one or two of them would have no effect on the body, but once he comes into contact with more, he will gradually become poisoned, and by the time he realizes it, he will already be seriously poisoned."

"Such a setup is extremely costly, and it might also accidentally injure our comrades."

"If you are willing to lend a hand, we can work together to turn Jue Tian Cliff into a highly poisonous place. As for accidental injuries, we can simply have everyone take the antidote beforehand."

Upon hearing this, the Crane Taoist raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that he didn't really need to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Instead of keeping a watchful eye on her, it would be better to actually join forces with her, so that I would also have a reason to keep a close eye on Lan Zhenxin.

Therefore, he agreed on the spot. Zhao Wuxiang was very happy to hear this and said repeatedly, "This time, we will definitely make Yun Yi suffer a lot."

……

The story of Feng Mo murdering his master became increasingly bizarre, eventually evolving into the claim that he assassinated the Old Celestial Master, that the Righteous Qi Sect had collapsed and its members were scattered, and that chaos was imminent in the human world.

Zhong Wanxin went to the human town to gather information, and the more she heard, the more chilled she became.

She didn't know where to find Feng Mo, so she could only go to the only place she knew fairly well—Liuxian Inn in Zhengqi Continent… She had bought fine wine here before.

The Pixiu shopkeeper was very easy to talk to when he saw the spirit stone, and immediately gave a detailed account of the Demon Extermination Conference from beginning to end.

After hearing all this, Zhong Wanxin understood perfectly well that Feng Mo was worried about Yun Yi and went to stop Jiang Hongye, which resulted in a conflict between the two.

How could the attack have been so severe, resulting in a fatality?!
Zhong Wanxin thought that, given Feng Mo's personality, having caused such a huge disaster, he would definitely return to the Righteous Qi Sect with Jiang Hongye's corpse to face punishment. Her purpose in going out this time was to stop him outside and see if there was any room for maneuver.

Otherwise, if Feng Mo were to return to the Righteous Qi Sect, he would certainly be severely punished... or even have to atone with his death.

Strangely, Feng Mo has not been seen yet. The Pixiu shopkeeper also said that someone witnessed Feng Mo going to the Burial Sword Valley with members of the Demonic Sect, suggesting that he was going to betray the Righteous Qi Sect and join the Demonic Sect.

That's pure nonsense.

Zhong Wanxin knows her disciple best and knows that Feng Mo would never betray the Righteous Qi Sect. As for the accidental killing of Jiang Hongye, there must have been a reason.

She trusted Feng Mo unconditionally. Even when she witnessed Feng Mo attacking his fellow disciples, her first reaction was that he was acting, or that he had something to hide.

Although Zhong Wanxin was naive and inexperienced, she possessed a clever mind, but she was usually too lazy to worry about such things.

Now, after a little thought, she immediately guessed that the reason Feng Mo hadn't returned to the Righteous Qi Sect was probably because Jiang Hongye wasn't "completely dead" yet.

If the person were truly dead, Feng Mo would surely have offered his apology. But he didn't do that; instead, he went to the Demon Sect, which only suggests that there might be a way to save Jiang Hongye there.

As expected of the person who trusted Feng Mo the most in the world, everyone else thought that Feng Mo had fled to the Demonic Sect out of fear of punishment and betrayed the sect.

Zhong Wanxin immediately guessed her beloved apprentice's true intentions.

At this moment, she had two options. One was to go to Tian Shu Academy first, where someone had seen Feng Mo with Lu Ziwei and others recently. Perhaps she could ask that young teacher Lu for information.

The second option is to head directly to Burial Sword Valley and find Feng Mo to get to the bottom of things.

In the Valley of Burial Swords, Feng Mo was so worried that he wanted to go find Zhong Wanxin, fearing that she had been wronged in the mortal world.

Yun Yi said helplessly, "Please, your master is at the Dao Integration Realm, and she's not some young girl anymore. Why are you so worried?"

Feng Mo remained restless.

Yun Yi: "Isn't the Overturning Heaven Pavilion spreading the news that you killed Jiang Hongye everywhere? I'll go with the flow and have people say that you have betrayed the Righteous Qi Sect and joined the Burial Sword Valley."

Feng Mo: "?"

Yun Yi: "Once your master receives the news, it probably won't be long before he comes here in person."

"what?!"

"Then we'll see how good your acting is. Remember not to give yourself away, because the Overturning Heaven Pavilion is definitely still watching you from the shadows."
