The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 272: Has the news of his marriage to Meng Qiewei been exposed?

Before they even entered the cell, Jiang Man and his group received the news.

Someone wants to interrogate them.

The monk and the bell were somewhat nervous.

They were somewhat unfamiliar with the Hall of Enforcement.

Especially the Enforcement Hall of the Misty Cloud Sect, they find it extremely difficult to maneuver around them.

After all, this is not the Tianshui Sect.

In particular, they are at a disadvantage as a target.

Therefore, they were unsure whether they could return to Tianshui Sect safely.

Nobody wants their bright future to be ruined.

"Don't worry too much, just tell the truth," Jiang Man reassured them.

These two people weren't involved in anything core, so Jiang Man was certain there wouldn't be any problems.

He felt that the sudden interrogation might be related to the True Man Taihua.

Feng Yin had said that once he came out, Master Taihua would definitely investigate.

I didn't expect it to be in such a hurry.

"Is it okay to just tell the truth?" Lingdang asked with some concern.

Jiang Man nodded: "Tell the truth, don't hide anything, and I think you'll be able to leave soon."

Upon hearing this, the monk Zhenkong nodded and said, "Alright, let's tell the truth."

Jiang Man didn't care; they knew too little.

At most, they know that they are in the early stage of the primordial spirit realm.

It's no big deal.

They had never seen the rest with their own eyes.

Soon, they were led to a large hall.

This main hall is not located on the sect's mountain peak, but inside the mountain itself.

Zhenyue Division.

Jiang Man could guess without asking.

Ren Qian said softly, "Wait here for a while."

He then left.

Soon, a young man came out and looked at Jiang Man and the other two, saying, "Come with me. We'll ask you some questions later. Just keep quiet. It's just a routine inquiry, so don't worry too much."

Jiang Man and the other two nodded.

Follow them inside.

A few moments.

The three entered the main hall, where only a middle-aged man sat at the head of the table.

His expression was calm, but his eyes held a dignified air.

It makes people afraid to look directly.

Jiang Man couldn't determine who the person in front of him was, whether it was a high-ranking official from the Misty Cloud Sect's Zhenyue Division or a high-ranking official from an immortal sect.

"I heard you came out rather early," said Master Taihua, seated at the head of the table. "Why is that?"

At this moment, Chongguang had already quietly left.

He had to leave if they didn't let him stay.

As for what Master Taihua asked, he was neither curious nor interested in knowing.

"An accident," Jiang Man replied respectfully.

"That was indeed an accident. It's rare to see someone leave the Immortal Sect Competition so early," said True Person Taihua softly.

Jiang Man did not speak.

The monks, including the monk Zhenkong, also remained silent.

They felt the atmosphere here was somewhat oppressive.

Even if the other party did not specify who to ask, it still gave them a strange sense of tension.

"Who is this young friend, Vacuum?" Taihua's voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, the monk Zhenkong was immediately taken aback and bowed respectfully, saying, "It is this junior."

"No need to be nervous, I have a few questions for you," Master Taihua said casually. "Have you ever met Shangguan Yang?"

“I’ve seen him before,” Monk Vacuum replied immediately. “We encountered him while exploring the secret realm. Later, we entered the middle path with Jiang Man, and haven’t seen him since.”

"I've heard there are divine objects inside. Have you seen them?" asked Master Taihua.

"No," the monk replied.

Master Taihua nodded, then looked at Lingdang: "So you must be my little friend Lingdang?"

"Yes, it's me, junior," Lingdang said nervously in a low voice.

"Did Vacuum Friend lie?"

"No, no, it's all true. I acted together with Senior Brother Zhenkong and we were never separated."

Master Taihua looked at the two of them and said softly, "Is that so? Then let's stop here. You seem to be in a hurry to leave the Misty Cloud Sect."

"Then let's get going as soon as possible, but don't worry, no one from the Misty Cloud Sect will stop you."

"As for what happened, there's no need to keep it a secret. If your senior brothers are curious, you can tell them."

“It’s not a big deal.

"Go."

Upon hearing this, the monk Zhenkong and Lingdang felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

Salute respectfully.

Then he quietly saw them out.

Jiang Man did not move but remained where he was.

After all, the other party had not yet asked him.

As soon as the monk Zhenkong left the main hall, Chongguang saw them off.

They soon reunited with Ye Jingtian and the others.

“Five of you, come with me. I will escort you out of the Misty Cloud Sect,” Chongguang said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingtian and the others were taken aback.

He had expected to wait here for a long time.

After all, the Enforcement Hall's investigation would not be so quick; any suspicions would require a lengthy investigation and interrogation.

But they hadn't been inside for even half an hour.

Not only that, but someone even offered to take them out.

But no one dared to ask; instead, they nodded.

Soon, Chongguang led the person out of the Misty Cloud Sect and asked softly:
"The five of you belong to the Tianshui Sect, you should know how to get back, right?"

Ye Jingtian and the others respectfully replied, "Yes."

"Go ahead then. Don't worry about the situation at the Misty Cloud Sect. No one will stop you, and Peak Master Bai won't stoop to your level," Chongguang reassured him.

After that, Shigemitsu went back.

Ye Jingtian and the others never understood who this person was, but they certainly dared not linger.

On the way, he looked at the monk Zhenkong, but ultimately chose not to speak.

But the monk with the vacuum of space spoke up, saying, "The important person inside says he can speak."

Mo Xin asked, "Did it involve any classified information?"

“I’m not sure, but there must be a reason why that important person said that,” said the monk Vacuum.

Afterwards, Monk Vacuum told Ye Jingtian and the others everything he knew.

First they encountered Shen Yao and her group, and then they met Shangguan Yang and his group.

In addition, many people began searching for Shangguan Yang and Zhou Qing, but they had been hiding.

During this time, Jiang Man seemed to be severely injured and unable to move.

Upon hearing this, both Ye Jingtian and Mo Xin's pupils contracted.

Ye Jingtian, in particular, thought that the monks, including Vacuum Monk, were involved in a major event, but he never expected it to be such a major event.

The changes at that time and the overwhelming arrival of the immortal sects were anything but ordinary.

But the monks of Vacuum were at the very core of everything.

How dare they let them leave after all this?

He even suspected that the other party wanted to kill him to silence him.

Finally, he sighed and said, "From now on, let's pretend this never happened, and you'll know nothing about it."

Proud people are not to be trifled with; whether they are good or bad, it is easy to get caught up in their affairs and have no control over your own destiny.

Jiang Man stood below the main hall, waiting for the other party to ask questions.

Judging from the appearance, the person in front of me is most likely Master Taihua.

If it were Red Eagle and his group, there shouldn't be only one of them.

They always have three people in their meetings, and with something this big happening, they need all three of them together even more.

But if it is Master Taihua, then no one else is qualified to be here.

“Jiang Man graduated from Yunqian Division at the age of nineteen and entered the sect to complete the Foundation Establishment. He obtained the Golden Core Secret Realm at the age of twenty-two and successfully formed his core in the same year.” True Man Taihua looked at Jiang Man and said softly, “Now it seems that he should have completed the Nascent Soul stage at the age of twenty-seven.”

"It's truly remarkable that you can cultivate so quickly."

"What cultivation level does Shangguan Yang think you have?"

"Late stage of Golden Core," Jiang Man replied truthfully. "Why is he traveling with you?" Master Taihua asked again.

“Because he thinks I’m a genius and can better integrate with divine objects,” Jiang Man replied.

Master Taihua calmly asked, "And then what?"

“I refused, but he planned to take action against me.” Jiang Man looked at the other party and continued, “But I was lucky; I was stronger than him, and he escaped.”

"Did he take the divine object away?" Master Taihua asked casually.

Jiang Man shook his head slightly, then took out a simple box from his person and gently handed it over: "Here."

The moment he saw the box appear, Master Taihua was stunned.

He was not expecting that the situation would be explained so bluntly and that the items would be taken out.

However, as soon as he reached out, the box flew into his hand automatically.

Upon opening the box, a square stone comes into view.

Upon closer inspection, he slowly closed the box and pressed it down under his hand.

His gaze then fell on Jiang Man: "Have you been carrying that thing with you ever since you got it?"

“Yes.” Jiang Man nodded.

Has anything strange happened?

"No."

"Then why did you hand over the items? Didn't you keep them for yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man lowered his head and said, "I don't know how to use it."

He didn't really know how to use it, but the Boundless Stone was automatic.

Master Taihua was also surprised by this reason.

But they did get what they were looking for, in a way he never expected.

I thought it was just asking for clues.

Who would have thought that the other party would just take out something?

There's a sense of absurdity about it.

"What do you want?" asked Master Taihua.

Jiang Man originally wanted to ask for 200,000 spirit resources, but after thinking about that unscrupulous middleman, he said, "It's all up to you, senior."

"Three hundred thousand spirit resources, one high-grade primordial spirit technique, one high-grade primordial spirit spell, seventy-two books on array formations, one primordial spirit level robe, a spirit pet egg, and a Zhenyue Division identity token. From now on, you will be a member of the Zhenyue Division, mainly responsible for communicating with evil gods." Master Taihua looked at Jiang Man and said calmly, "How about it?"

Jiang Man replied without the slightest hesitation: "Thank you, senior."

He has decided that next time he will never make requests himself, but will let the other party make them.

I didn't know anything about it, and I didn't know the market situation.

No wonder Fang Yong was able to sell himself for such a high price.

It's out this time.

However, this time they are truly backed by the Zhenyue Division.

The peak master's blockade had much less effect on him.

Jiang Man then left.

Master Taihua stared at the box in silence for a long time before finally sending out a message using a special method.

This item cannot be carried around and is likely to run into problems along the way; otherwise, he would have taken it and returned directly to the Immortal Sect long ago.

Currently, the only option is for the immortal sects to bring something to seal it.

That afternoon.

Master Taihua received the message.

The solution is inside.

"Place it in an open area, and someone will naturally come to take it?" Master Taihua frowned.

He questioned the veracity of the news.

The Boundless Stone is no ordinary thing; why would it be left in an open space waiting for someone to take it?

Who will take it?
However, after checking several times, he found that the content was not fake.

Master Taihua remained silent for a long time.

Finally, they changed it to a special box and placed it in the center of the main hall.

He sat quietly in the top seat and waited patiently.

Jiang Man returned to his cell.

The burly old ox looked at Jiang Man and said, "I heard you were in a hurry to come back and cultivate, so you were the first to be eliminated?"

Jiang Man took out a small fruit and said, "Old Huang, please have some."

The old ox tried it and frowned.

"Don't you like sour food?" Jiang Man asked.

"Do you like to eat this?" the old ox asked.

Jiang Man casually tossed one into his mouth and said with a smile, "Sweet and sour are both flavors, and none of them are bad. After all, they all have flavor."

"It's interesting that the first and last place are the same."

"Old Huang, you still can't grasp this kind of artistic conception."

The old ox remained silent for a moment, then continued grazing.

"However, I also advanced my primordial spirit this time. I am now in the early stage of primordial spirit." Jiang Man said calmly, looking at the old ox.

The old ox kept its head down, grazing and ignoring everything.

"Old Huang, do you know about the Immeasurable Calamity?" Jiang Man suddenly asked.

"Do you want to touch it?" the old ox replied while grazing.

“I’ve touched it,” Jiang Man replied.

The old ox paused for a moment, then looked up at the person in front of him with disbelief.

"It even took a liking to me and insisted on merging with me. It almost succeeded," Jiang Man said calmly. "It was quite an experience. Little Huang, have you ever experienced anything like this?"

The old ox stared silently at the person before him.

Jiang Man then explained the whole situation.

The old ox asked, "Why are you touching it?"

"Why not touch it?" Jiang Man countered.

The old ox was silent for a moment before saying, "So you still want to take it back?"

Jiang Man nodded: "Right now I'm hesitating about how to write the note. Once I finish writing it, I can get the things back. But it will take some time, since we can't be sure that Master Taihua will receive the message that I will take them."

"If the message hasn't arrived, then there's a big problem."

Since the old ox couldn't get involved in the matter, he stopped mentioning it and instead kindly reminded him: "You should be careful, your marriage to Meng Qiewei has been exposed."

Jiang Man, who hadn't paid much attention at first, suddenly froze, looking at the old ox in disbelief: "Old ox, are you kidding me?"

“Ask your wife; her maid told me,” the old ox said calmly.

Jiang Man couldn't figure out what had happened.

How did it get exposed so quickly?

How can he face Tingfengyin now?

If it's discovered, and the other party gets upset, they might just trigger an immeasurable calamity. Wouldn't that make it impossible for anyone to live?

Just then, Ji Hao arrived.

"There's been some unexpected situation that I need to discuss with you," Ji Hao said with a hint of helplessness. "I didn't anticipate this situation either."

Afterwards, Ji Hao left with his men.

I'm going to explain a bit.

This is a huge problem.

-

At this moment, Qingdai also completed her mission and came to Ji Meng's side.

"How is the situation?" Ji Meng asked.

"Something unexpected has happened." Qingdai immediately recounted the Immortal Sect Competition, then asked in bewilderment, "Why did that person suddenly appear? Is the situation worse?"

He shouldn't be here under normal circumstances, and the immortal sects wouldn't bother him.

In the void, many places need him.

There's no time to concern myself with a grand competition among immortal sects.

The immortal sects have not yet resorted to their true methods.

When the fusion truly reaches its final stage, the methods of the immortal sects will cease.

This would disrupt the fusion and then seal everything away.

Everything was still under control, but then someone appeared who was out of control.

Ji Meng didn't seem to care, but instead asked, "I heard Jiang Man has come out. Has the Ji family completed the test?"

Upon hearing this, Qingdai shook her head and said, "No, I heard that the young master was eliminated, and the Ji family members didn't have time to complete the test."

"Now the news about the son-in-law and daughter is ready to be spread, but it's probably going to be faked, pretending that they've completed the test."

"Some people in the Ji family will probably look down on the son-in-law."

"Even tests must be faked."
