I picked up the scattered attributes

At that time, no one could have imagined that this seemingly beautiful love story was actually a carefully planned scheme!

Taigong Si was born to his father late in life, so he doted on his only daughter. Even when she entered a state of seclusion and refused to leave until she broke through to a higher realm, he still left behind two jade talismans.

He gave one to his wife and one to his daughter.

Then the jade talisman in his daughter's hand went through many twists and turns, passing through her husband's hands, and finally fell into the hands of a traitor in Guanglingxuan, becoming a trump card.

The ghost woman Qiaoman was probably a pawn planted at that time.

Then, several years ago, the Hun Tian Fruit Tree appeared, causing a stir among many forces, both openly and secretly.

However, the key to unlock the restriction eventually fell into the hands of Guanglingxuan, and was then handed over by the old master of the pavilion to Yao Wenhua, who was entrusted with its safekeeping.

Whether it was their envy of the effects of the Hun Tian Fruit or their collusion with external forces to prevent the old master from continuing to live longer, an unprecedented conspiracy was about to erupt.

If he hadn't met Feng Xia, he probably wouldn't have even had the chance to uncover the truth.

Even so, the jade talisman obtained from the divine master Taigong Si still became a deadly soul-snatching talisman, slowly descending upon the unsuspecting old master.

This is almost an unsolvable, vicious deadlock!

"Damn it...you all deserve to die!"

Yao Wenhua gritted his teeth so hard that blood flowed from his mouth, but he seemed oblivious to the pain. His eyes burned with rage as he stared unblinkingly at the three-headed monster bird.

The strange birds felt a chill run down their spines under his gaze and involuntarily took a few steps back. Then, they stretched their necks and shrieked in unison, "What are you looking at! What are you yelling about! You're already facing death. Confess the whereabouts of the key, and you might die a little easier. Otherwise..."

It glanced at Yao Wenhua with a sinister look and sneered, "That Taigong Si is also a major obstacle. The officials invited him to set up the dungeon array, but he refused without hesitation and even cursed the officials out!"

"Heh heh, if it weren't for the support of those big shots and the resources provided by Guanglingxuan, how could he have advanced to the level of a Divine Master? What an ungrateful wretch!"

"You...you guys, could it be—"

Yao Wenhua's mouth gaped open once again.

He suddenly realized a huge problem.

In this operation against the old master, the divine master Taigong Si undoubtedly played the role of an accomplice. In fact, this highly respected old man was probably completely unaware of many of the sordid matters!

Once the truth came out, and he realized that he had emerged from seclusion to extend the life of the old master, he ended up wielding the final blade, pushing his old friend into the abyss of death...

For Taigong Si, this blow was probably no less than the collapse of the sky and the sinking of the earth!

"When he learns of this news, his expression will surely be quite interesting. I wonder if his Dao heart can withstand such an impact?"

Yao Wenhua trembled uncontrollably, as if he had fallen into an ice cave that had stood for millennia.

"You bastards...you'll all die a horrible death!"

"Go ahead and curse, curse all you want. This is the only time you can curse. Before long, you'll be able to curse from the afterlife..."

Upon seeing Yao Wenhua's appearance, the three-headed strange bird was overjoyed and began to mock him with a playful tone.

That is at this moment.

Yao Wenhua's clenched fingers suddenly tore off a large chunk of flesh with his fingernails!

He lowered his voice, speaking in a hushed tone only he could hear, and said, word by word, "You... will absolutely not get what you want!"

"Ok?"

Feng Xia, far away in Qiming City, suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation.

……

Chapter 0822

Nine Yang Star, Yang Kong Great Marsh.

"what?"

Having just activated the sect's foundation-laying order and established the mountain gate for the Nine Yang Star branch of Thousand Autumn Valley, Feng Xia suddenly paused in his movements, his eyebrows involuntarily rising.

Just a moment ago, he clearly felt a strange fluctuation.

"It seems to be inside my spatial ring—"

His divine sense swept across the area and he immediately noticed that a large pile of jade slips in his spatial ring were inexplicably vibrating violently!

Feng Xia frowned deeply, then gently raised his hand and waved it, causing the jade slips to fall in front of him.

Boom——

This moment.

They seemed to have broken free from some kind of restraint, transforming from inanimate objects into living beings. Without any magical power to activate them, they flew into the air on their own, dazzling in their brilliance, like butterflies or strange runes, mysterious and profound, dancing and weaving into a magnificent net!

To be more precise...

It was an extremely mysterious formation, layer upon layer of void condensed, and finally transformed into the shape of a small sapling, lush and green, exuding a vibrant and rich vitality, and silently fell before Feng Xia's eyes.

"This is--"

Even in the summer, one couldn't help but be taken aback by this scene.

That huge pile of jade slips contained intelligence gathered for him by Guanglingxuan. He had been flipping through them frequently lately, but he hadn't discovered that there were such mysteries hidden within them!

"Yes, each jade slip is only engraved with a tiny array pattern. When they are separated, they are simply regarded as patterns on the jade slip or natural textures."

Unless there is an extremely special need, no one would insist that every jade slip has the same pattern.

Therefore, even Feng Xia had overlooked the past before this.

"Now, there must be an external force, like some kind of signal, that has brought these jade slips together and finally condensed them into this sapling."

Feng Xia gazed at the verdant sapling, its vibrant life force forming a stark contrast with the intense heat of the distant Yangkong Marsh.

It's hard to imagine that this sapling isn't a physical entity, but rather something constructed from array patterns!

"Such skills are already divine, no less than mine!"

Feng Xia couldn't help but secretly praise him in her heart.

Since many of the jade slips were sent by Guanglingxuan, the most likely person to have done this is Yao Wenhua.

"I initially thought his eagerness to return to headquarters was reckless, but it turns out he did make some preparations. I just don't know what special meaning this sapling... has?"

A few days ago, when he went to the Yao residence, Yao Wenhua's wife told him that Yao Wenhua had gone to headquarters and would return safely within a few days.

In retrospect, it seems more like an excuse, a pretext to temporarily appease oneself.

At the same time, it may also be conveying a message to Fengxia: if he does not return for a long time, or returns too late, he may have encountered a big problem!

"If we're talking about some major trouble... could it be that the Hun Tian Fruit has already fallen into enemy hands?"

"Hmm, that's probably unlikely."

"Guanglingxuan's actions suggest that they have stored the Hun Tian Fruit elsewhere. Without special means, it would be almost impossible to obtain the Hun Tian Fruit."

"So what exactly is Yao Wenhua trying to tell me by pulling this stunt?"

Feng Xia rubbed his temples, his eyes gradually narrowing as he looked at the sapling: "Could it be that this thing..."

His thoughts paused for a moment.

"Is this the key to unlocking the location of the Hun Tian Fruit?"

This possibility is not nonexistent!

Based on this line of reasoning, it is likely that Yao Wenhua had already encountered a great death situation in Guanglingxuan. In despair, he handed the key to unlock the Hun Tian Fruit to Feng Xia, an outsider!

"The line of reasoning makes sense, but there's one point that we just can't get around."

Feng Xia's thoughts quickly became clear: "Why didn't Guanglingxuan immediately send the Hun Tian Fruit to the old master after obtaining it?"

Just how bad was the old master of Guangling Pavilion's condition that he couldn't even do this much and could only watch helplessly as the turmoil unfolded?

In Feng Xia's opinion, if Guangling Sanren had eaten and wiped the Hun Tian Fruit clean from the beginning, there wouldn't have been so many problems later.

Once he advances to the True God Realm, he will be able to suppress all chaos completely.

However, it does not.

He chose the most troublesome and dangerous path.

If he is not careful, both he and the entire Guangling Pavilion will be doomed!

"It's not nice to say it like this, but this old master seems to be a bit of a troublemaker... hmm?"

Just then, Feng Xia sensed something and turned around, only to see several panicked figures stumbling and rolling over.

"Yes! There's a problem!"

"There's something there... no, there's someone there!"

"What a terrifying guy!"

Feng Xia frowned silently, coughed, and a strange spiritual wave spread out, calming the restless minds of the group.

Whether it was Daoist Ziyang, who was a demigod, or the few with the weakest cultivation, at this moment, their faces all showed the same panic and disarray, and their appearance was extremely disheveled!

...How the hell did you manage to cultivate to the Bridge Heaven Realm?

A long-held suspicion resurfaced in Feng Xia's mind:

Although the concept of "Dao Xin" has always existed, it seems that from ancient times to the present, very few people have really paid attention to it.
