Chapter 429 Cyprus
The old palace master said, "Then you can stay in the Four Gods Palace for a while. When his injuries are healed, you can confront him face to face."

Sect Leader Chu said, "According to what you said, Wen Gu was injured not long after the magic sword was born, which means it has been quite some time now. If Elder Xiao had done it, and he had used all his strength, Wen Gu would not have been alive. If he had held back, the injury would have healed long ago."

"He has been suppressing his injuries because of the unrest in the capital. That's why I insisted on letting him out after he recovered." The old palace master replied, "Are you dissatisfied with the tea in the Four Gods Palace, the food, and the uncomfortable beds?"

Sect Leader Chu chuckled and said, "I'm just asking all my doubts."

The old palace master said: "If Gu Yingruo and Elder Xiao were to fight for their lives, it is not certain who would survive."

"When Elder Xiao was the same age as him, his achievements were second only to his." said Sect Leader Chu.

"Danchen, please stop talking." Sect Leader Wang drank a sip of tea, stood up and walked to Sect Leader Chu, saying, "Come here, I want to talk to you."

Sect Leader Chu followed Sect Leader Wang out of the hall.

Sect Leader Wang said, "Yang Jiu only accepted two disciples in his life. One is Wen Guying, and the other is Guan Zhongqiu. Guan Zhongqiu violated the sect rules and was expelled from the Four Gods Palace, but Yang Jiu still recognized this disciple in his heart. If he had not died at the hands of the aliens, it is hard to say what would have happened in a hundred or two hundred years. Even if he had been outside as a casual cultivator, with his master and fellow apprentices around, his achievements would not be bad."

Sect Leader Chu glanced at Sect Leader Wang and said nothing.

Sect Leader Wang continued, "Now he only has one disciple left, Wen Guying. Elder Xiao first ruined his chances, then injured him, and you didn't let him recover in peace... Yang Jiu hates you in his heart."

"I just want to find out the truth." Sect Leader Chu replied, "Wen Gu should have the support of the Four Gods Palace, but doesn't Elder Xiao have a sect to back him up?"

Sect Leader Wang said, "Then you can wait in the Four Gods Palace for a few days. I will stay here too. My disciple Jiang Mei and your disciple Liu Yang both disappeared in Yashan County. For a cultivator, a few years or decades of training are nothing. But before Jiang Mei left this time, I told him that this matter involves the fate of the dynasty and he should not interfere too deeply. If he finds something wrong, he should withdraw immediately and try to send back news from time to time. But he... never sent back any news."

Sect Leader Chu seemed to have heard it and said, "Before Liu Yang left the mountain, his master must have told him the same thing."

So, Sect Leader Wang continued, "We, the Four Heavenly Xuan Sects, all rose after the great catastrophe of gods and demons 30,000 years ago. We all inherited the legacy left by the six major sects at that time, and only then did we have what we have today. And now, the catastrophe has risen again. How many people will be left in the Xuan Sect this time?"

Sect Leader Chu didn't say anything.

Sect Leader Wang said, "As long as our three sects of the Four Heavenly Mysteries are not in chaos, the Xuan Sect will not be in chaos. Now the three of us are all here for a while, so we can plan together how to deal with it in the future."

Seeing that Sect Leader Chu was still unmoved, he said, "You also went there at Yan Qingshan. Yang Jiu took a move from Immortal Yun Yi. I saw that move was at least 70% powerful, even if it wasn't his full strength. His injury has healed... What do you think of his current strength?"

"Okay, I'll stay here for three months." said Master Chu.

After the two talked for a few more words, they returned to the main hall.

Sect Leader Chu said to the old Palace Master, "I will be here, waiting for your disciple to come out after his injury is healed."

Master Wang said, "I will also be here for a while."

The old palace master said, "That's great. The three of us haven't been together for two or three hundred years." He said to Sect Leader Chu, "If you don't drink Qingai tea, what do you want to drink? If there's none in the Four Gods Palace, I'll go get it for you right now."

Master Chu picked up the cup, took a sip and said, "That's it."

Li Chuan was relieved when he heard that the three of them had reached an agreement. He looked outside the hall and decided to go out and find some hot food after the crowd dispersed.

At this time, he heard Master Chu calling him again: "Li Chuan." Li Chuan quickly sat up straight and asked: "Master Chu, what do you want to ask me?"

Sect Leader Chu said, "You are the first person to discover the existence of the White Walkers, and the only one who has fought against them twice. The old Palace Master said that you will go to Yashan County with Wen Guying. Have you thought about what to do?"

"How to do it?" Li Chuan first recalled what was involved in the previous question and answer conversation between the old palace master and Sect Leader Chu, in order to avoid any conflicts between them.

Then he said, "Before in the capital, Prince Su had a device in his hand. It might be a magic weapon of the gods. It seems to be very important to them. Now the device is in my hands. I plan to refine it as soon as possible. After refining it, maybe I can get some clues to find the location of the ruins."

This was the message they had already discussed and wanted to pass on to the demon spirit through Master Chu or someone else.

If the evil spirit is really lured to the Four Gods Palace, then it will be possible to find out who is colluding with the remnants of the demon clan.

He went on to say, "Once Taoist Master Wen has recovered from his injury and the magic weapon has been refined, we will go to Yashan County to investigate. At present, the people from the Demon Hunting Division of the Imperial Observatory have already gone there. They may be able to find some clues starting from the secular world..."

"Is the Yuanhuo Mirror repaired?" asked Sect Leader Wang.

"It's fixed." Li Chuan quickly took out the Yuanhuo Mirror from the Zuihong Ring and handed it to Master Wang.

Sect Leader Wang took a look at it and didn't take it. He said, "You keep it. When you see Jiang Mei, you can give it to him."

"Okay." Li Chuan said.

After Li Chuan put away the Yuanhuo Mirror, he found that the three leaders were silent, as if waiting for him to continue.

He originally planned to take things one step at a time after arriving in Yashan County, but now he still managed to say a few more words, "In order to kidnap me, the demon spirit went through so much trouble to use the troupe to deliver the device to Prince Su, so after I arrive in Yashan County, she will definitely show up. We can make some arrangements, and I will be the bait to lure her and the others out."

Li Chuan couldn't think of anything else, so he said, "That's probably it. We'll see how the situation develops when we get to Yashan County."

"You people from the Four Gods Palace are all so casual." Sect Master Chu commented, and then explained in detail, "After the stone tablet that looked like the remains of the demon clan appeared in Heyuan Town, Xuanyue Sect had several disciples go there in addition to Liu Yang. Later, when Liu Yang went to Yashan County, most of them followed him, but there was one disciple who was injured in Heyuan Town and was sent back to Xuanyue Sect."

He took another sip of tea and said, "Her name is Yao Shuang. She was there when the seal of the demon formation outside Yanqing Mountain was repaired. Her attainments in this area should be no less than Jiang Mei's."

"I know her." The old palace master asked, "How did she get hurt?"

Sect Leader Chu replied, "What I heard was that she dug up the stone platform and fell in. She was in a coma after being rescued and only woke up recently."

He said, "I brought her here. When you go to Yashan County, take her with you."

Li Chuan looked at the old palace master.

The old palace master said: "Then let her come and talk about Heyuan Town."

"Okay." said Master Chu.

After a cup of tea, a graceful female nun walked in.
