Chapter 323 Silencing
Shang Jianfei suddenly said, "Now that young friend Chen is here, this person is yours to take care of." After saying that, he returned to the courtyard and went back to his work.

It's clear they don't want to get involved in this.

Since Chen Ming has already broken through to the Divine Treasure Realm, people of the same level as him should address him as "young friend" to show their respect.

Chen Ming waved his hand, using his magic to isolate the surroundings, and stared at Pan Zhiyuan, who was dressed in black robes, "Tell me, what are the origins of those two people?"

Pan Zhiyuan said in a deep voice, "Are you sure you really want to know?"

"I'm really curious. You, the Governor of Jiangzhou, a high-ranking official, and a member of the Six Doors, would actually collude with foreign powers to deal with a mere First Rank official like me. Why would you do that?"

Yu Haitang's aura had fallen below the first rank, and she appeared very weak. It was clear that using a divine object to forcibly enhance her cultivation had taken a heavy toll on her.

Pan Zhiyuan glanced at Chen Ming, saw the Yang God floating above his head, and the magical artifact in the Yang God's hand that made his heart pound, and said, "I am merely acting under orders."

"On whose orders were you acting?"

"I can't say." Pan Zhiyuan shook his head, his voice carrying a certain solemnity.

can not say?
Chen Ming pondered, "Could it be a high-ranking member of the Six Doors?"

Pan Zhiyuan remained silent, seemingly acquiescing.

Chen Ming was also a member of the Six Doors in red robes. He knew that in the Six Doors, besides the Hall Master, there were six senior members in red robes who held great power.

These six individuals are all experts at the fifth level of the Divine Realm. They rarely show their faces, but all the red-clad figures within the Six Doors must pledge allegiance to them.

Chen Ming was an exception because of his special status as a confidant of the emperor. Because of this, he was effectively outside the core of the Six Doors' power structure.

This Pan Zhiyuan belongs to the Wang faction. It is said that the old red-robed official surnamed Wang was born into a collateral branch of the Yu family. He changed his name and entered the Six Doors. As a member of a prestigious family, he was able to hold a high position in the Six Doors, which shows his ability and strength.

The only person who could command Pan Zhiyuan and make him so secretive was the one he served.

Chen Ming then asked, "What are the origins of those two people?"

Pan Zhiyuan said, "Those two were experts from Southern Chu. They committed serious crimes in Southern Chu and fled to our Great Jin. Later, they were captured and brought under someone's command."

Then, Chen Ming asked many more questions.

Pan Zhiyuan answered almost every question, appearing very cooperative.

Finally, Chen Ming finished asking his questions and looked at Yu Haitang beside him.

Yu Haitang shook her head, indicating that she had nothing more to ask.

"you can go now."

Then, Chen Ming withdrew his magic and signaled to Pan Zhiyuan that he could leave.

Pan Zhiyuan was surprised that he would actually let him go. He bowed to him and said, "Thank you for sparing my life, Young Master Chen. I will never be your enemy in the future."

After saying that, he flew away and quickly disappeared.

Chen Ming watched him leave, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Afterwards, he went to the Zhenhai Prince's Mansion to talk with Shang Jianfei.

While trimming the flowers and plants in the yard, Shang Jianfei asked, "You just let him go like that?"

Chen Ming said, "We can't just kill him. He's a Red Robe member of the Six Doors; killing him would cause even more trouble."

Shang Jianfei sighed, "I never imagined that the little guy who had just reached the sixth rank a few years ago would now have a cultivation level above mine. He's truly a force to be reckoned with."

"I am so fortunate to have been able to achieve what I have today because of the kindness of my predecessors who passed on their skills to me."

"Don't flatter me, kid. It won't be long before your deeds become the talk of the town. Who knows, you might even get an invitation to the Sendai Gathering in two years."

"The Sendai Gathering? What's that?"

Shang Jianfei explained, "This Sendai Gathering is hosted by the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven, and it is held every twenty years. It invites the most powerful experts in the Divine Treasure Realm to participate, and the winners have the opportunity to enter the Immortal Mansion. The next Sendai Gathering will be held in two years."

A celestial abode.

That should be the highest-level secret realm.

I have no idea what it looks like inside.

However, Chen Ming was puzzled, "What exactly is the purpose of the First Pavilion Under Heaven holding such a Sendai Gathering?"

"You ask me? How would I know? Twenty years ago, they invited me too, but something happened, and I was seriously injured, so I couldn't go." Just then, a familiar voice came from outside, "Master, is Senior Brother Chen inside?"

It's Huo Qianqian.

She actually became Shang Jianfei's apprentice?

Chen Ming said, "Junior Sister Huo, it's been a long time."

Huo Qianqian walked into the courtyard, looked at him, and exclaimed excitedly, "Senior brother, it really is you..."

Chen Ming laughed, "I'm not dead, why are you crying?"

……

After Pan Zhiyuan had fled for several dozen miles, he was relieved to see that Chen Ming was not chasing after him. It seemed that Chen Ming still had reservations and dared not kill him, the governor of Jiangzhou.

However, this mission failed, and it would be difficult to explain to his superiors when he returned. Moreover, he had exposed that person's secret.

No matter what, Yu Haitang is of the Yu family bloodline. It would be very ugly if this matter were brought to the forefront.

As Pan Zhiyuan was pondering this, he suddenly sensed something was amiss. A person suddenly appeared before him, and a sense of unease arose within him. He demanded, "Who are you?"

The man, dressed in a black robe, did not speak, but simply raised his hand.

The next second, Pan Zhiyuan felt a terrifying pressure. His pupils contracted, "Divine Treasure Five—"

Before the thought could even finish, he was plunged into complete darkness.

He never imagined that he would encounter such a powerful figure in this place, who would suddenly attack him. He died without ever knowing what had happened.

Such a promising expert at the Divine Realm, and the highest-ranking official of the Great Jin Dynasty in Jiangzhou, died without a complete corpse.

……

At that moment, Chen Ming was catching up with his family and friends when a thought suddenly struck him, and a smile appeared on his face.

That man in black robes was the manifestation of the "Mysterious Soul Pearl".

He couldn't kill Pan Zhiyuan himself, lest he incur retaliation from the Six Doors. That didn't mean he would let him go. Therefore, he sent an avatar formed from the "Mysterious Soul Pearl" to kill Pan Zhiyuan and silence him.

Afterwards, even the Six Doors couldn't trace him back to him, perfect.

Next, Chen Ming stayed in Qingfeng City for a while, with his elder brother Chen Rui, sister-in-law Wei, his nephew, niece, and his toddler who could already walk...

He also missed Chunxiang, Xiaxiang, Qiuxiang, Dongxiang, and others quite a bit after not seeing them for so long.

However, he did not stay for long, leaving after half a month, saying he was going to travel the world.

Chen Ming's first stop was Jiangzhou City.

Changqing Hall.

Old Sun is still the same as before, with almost no change.

"You've finally arrived." Old Sun wasn't surprised to see him. "You've come to retrieve that thing, haven't you?"

Chen Ming sighed, "If I could, I really wouldn't want this hot potato."

Unfortunately, he had no choice.

In order to obtain the subsequent techniques of the Five Elements True Skill, he had no choice but to venture into the suspected tomb of the Longevity Emperor.

Old Sun went into the inner room, took out the wooden box, and placed it in front of him, saying, "Here you go."

"Thank you."

Chen Ming took the box. "Senior, is there anything else you would like to tell this junior?"

Old Sun said with a sigh, "With this box in your hands, my mission is complete. Take care of yourself."

"Take care, senior."

After Chen Ming finished speaking, he bowed, picked up the box, and left.
