This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

"this one?"

After Cangming left, the elder of Shijian Peak asked with a puzzled look.

The others pursed their lips and left the main hall one by one.

In the end, only Nangong Jue and the two elders from Shijian Peak and Tianjian Peak remained.

The elder of Tianjian Peak sighed and said:

"What else do you want? Didn't the Holy Lord already order me to investigate?"

The elder of Sword Testing Peak said excitedly:

"Investigate? Just investigate? What if it turns out to be him? What if it's not him? How should my Qingyun Sword Sect deal with this? Should we try our best to eliminate him completely, or resolve the feud?"

"The Holy Lord didn't say anything..."

The elder of Tianjian Peak said helplessly:

"The Holy Lord has no time to deal with these matters right now. He is focused on breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm. It is already a rare treat that he showed up today."

The elder of Sword Testing Peak was suddenly startled.

"An Earth Immortal? The Holy Lord is attempting to become an Earth Immortal?"

Elder Tianjian Peak nodded.

"This is no secret. Right now, the most important thing for my Qingyun Holy Sect is the Holy Lord's breakthrough to the Earth Immortal realm. Everything else has to take a backseat."

Upon hearing this, the elder of Sword Testing Peak couldn't help but exclaim excitedly:

"This is incredibly exciting news! If the Holy Lord succeeds, our Azure Cloud Sword Sect will definitely become much stronger, and the other two holy lands will no longer have any chance to compete with us..."

Elder Tianjian Peak nodded.

"So let's not bother him with this matter anymore."

At this point, the elder of Tianjian Peak looked at Nangong Jue, who was still standing, and after pondering for a moment, asked the elder of the Sword Testing Sect:

"Junior Brother Shijian, since Junior Nephew Nangong is so familiar with that person, why don't you lend him to me? It will make it easier for me to investigate."

Shi Jian nodded, then looked at Nangong Jue and gave the instructions:

"Jue'er, from today onwards, you will obey your Uncle-Master Tianjian's orders, do you understand?"

Nangong Jue quickly bowed and said:

"Your disciple obeys."

Shi Jian nodded and cupped his hands in greeting to Elder Chaotianjian:

"I'll leave this matter to you, senior brother. If you need anything, just let me know."

The three parted ways, and Nangong Jue followed the elder of Tianjian Peak and left the sect's main hall.

After making some preparations, they left the Blessed Land of Spiritual Marsh and flew towards the Heavenly Water Marsh.

As Nangong Jue passed over Qingyun City outside the blessed land, he glanced down unintentionally.

Suddenly his gaze froze.

"Master Uncle, that person...that person is over there..."

Nangong Jue pointed to Qingyun City below and exclaimed in surprise.

Elder Tianjian frowned slightly, and without saying a word, he grabbed Nangong Jue and jumped off the flying boat.

They landed behind the person Nangong Jue had designated.

Nangong Jue was overjoyed. He stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and said sternly:

"Li Daoxuan, how dare you come here..."

But when he turned the man over, he discovered that the person in front of him was not Li Daoxuan as he remembered him.

Elder Tianjian glanced at the man and said coldly:

"Just a mortal from the third level of the Heavenly Realm..."

Nangong Jue released his grip, his mind filled with doubt.

He clearly saw it just now, how did it turn into a different person in the blink of an eye?

"Let's go..."

The elder of Tianjian Peak was clearly displeased and, pulling Nangong Jue along, left Qingyun City without looking back.

Watching the two soar away, bearing the tokens of the Azure Cloud Sword Sect, the person who had been disturbed dared not utter a single complaint. Instead, he was beaming with excitement, telling everyone he met that the Holy Sect's envoy knew him...

After Nangong Jue and the other person left, Li Daoxuan was eating noodles with great interest at a noodle stall on the street not far away.

Watching the two walk away, Li Daoxuan chuckled softly and muttered to himself:

"Looks like... I've been exposed... That's good."

Li Daoxuan, who was not actually aware of the situation, didn't really care.

Even if Nangong Jue guessed his identity, finding him would not be an easy task for them.

Li Daoxuan was certain that they would never reveal the news that he possessed a Daoist treasure; no one was willing to share such an opportunity with others.

The Qingyun Sword Sect is no exception.

However, this remains a hidden danger for Chen Xun, who is cultivating on Tianshuize Island.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan casually drew a message talisman on the table, imprinted the words he wanted to say on it, and with a wave of his hand, the talisman turned into a golden light and disappeared.

The talisman was mainly to tell Chen Xun that a master at the Ninth Heaven Realm would come to cause him trouble, and if possible, he should try not to leave the island.

After figuring out his own strength, Li Daoxuan had great confidence in the illusion he had created.

It would be almost impossible for these powerful but mediocre Ninth Heaven experts to see through his talisman array.

Unless it's a celestial being personally involved.

However, surely the Qingyun Sword Sect wouldn't need to send an Earth Immortal to deal with just Chen Xun?

Li Daoxuan smiled, swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and waved to the noodle stall owner.

"Boss, another bowl, please..."

"Okay..."

Qingyun City is very large, larger than any other city Li Daoxuan has ever seen in the world.

In terms of area alone, it is even larger than some of the first-tier cities in the previous life.

Not only is it large, but this town is also full of fantasy elements.

Because it is a town outside the blessed land of the Qingyun Sword Sect, Qingyun City is home to a large number of cultivators.

Some have high cultivation levels, while others have low cultivation levels.

On the contrary, there are far fewer ordinary people.

Because of these martial arts practitioners, many things in this city are different from those in the mortal world.

For example, the towering city walls are hundreds of feet high.

Six statues, each over ten feet tall, stand at the city gate. They appear motionless, but their core functions are constantly in operation.

Once activated, it is comparable to six experts at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm.

The city also has many tall buildings, some tens of meters high. Near the entrance to the blessed land of Lingze, there is a palace that is ten times more luxurious than the imperial palace. It was actually carved out of a mountain.

The foundation is much higher than other buildings.

There are also many mythical birds and beasts, and extraordinary people and people.

This amazed Li Daoxuan, an outsider.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Li Daoxuan left the noodle shop and wandered aimlessly around Qingyun City.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the palace where the Qingyun Sword Sect was stationed in Qingyun City.

Li Daoxuan glanced at them and immediately understood why the five people he had encountered earlier had that military-like, tough aura about them.

It turned out that an army of at least 100,000 people was entrenched in this enormous palace.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. To control such a large territory, one would definitely need a well-organized army.

Although the Qingyun Sword Sect is a sect, in a sense it is no different from the royal court that controls a country.

The difference lies in the fact that the inheritance of martial arts sects is based on respect for the strong, rather than bloodlines.

Li Daoxuan stood in front of the palace for a moment, pondering, before finally turning and leaving.
