I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 203 exposed it?

The demon beast diagram is currently being refined by the gray-white material, and it turns out to be one of the targets of the people from Wansheng Prefecture.

Xu Ning's heart tightened slightly.

If that group of people really arrives and discovers the location of the monster map, then Gray and White will be in danger.

"The Old Man of Ten Thousand Fields? A painting of a demon beast?"

The others did not notice anything unusual about Xu Ning. However, when they heard the purpose of those people's visit, Mi Xingye and Yuan Cheng both frowned, clearly having never heard of it before.

"good."

Elder Du Yuan said, "We also need to send people to gather information about these people and the treasure. If we can provide them with clues after they arrive here, so that they can return immediately after completing their mission, that would be excellent."

For the people of the seventeen prefectures of Yuanbei, the purpose was not to confront those visitors, but to ensure the safety of the Yuelan Sect.

"I will send my men to keep an eye out for these related messages."

Elder Yuancheng nodded and said.

"There are still some details that have been finalized..."

Elder Qiu Renshan spoke again, giving Mi Xingye and Yuan Cheng some instructions.

Xu Ning stood to the side, listening silently.

Unbeknownst to him, Xu Ning had become a core figure in the Yue Lan Sect.

The secret matters that Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and Mi Xingye discussed were unknown to the other sect elders, but Xu Ning had already learned about them.

"In short, next, you need to unite with the Qianmiao Sect and contact the various sects in Jifeng Prefecture to explain the reasons. Before the people from Wansheng Prefecture arrive, you need to unite Jifeng Prefecture so that they don't split up and be used by the other side at will."

Finally, Elder Qiu Renshan added one more sentence.

"Rest assured, I will personally visit and explain to all the major sects in Jifeng Prefecture."

Mi Xingye said, "Those who can unite, unite; those who cannot, I will work with the Qianmiao Sect to make them obey."

Mi Xingye's tone was domineering.

This incident also presents an opportunity.

Provided that the surrounding neighboring states become allies, the Yue Lan Sect and the Qian Miao Sect can use the pretext of internal integration to expand their influence.

The four-person exchange ended quickly.

Qiu Renshan and Du Yuan went to visit other reclusive elders.

Meanwhile, Yuan Cheng went to set out to find out about the Old Man of Ten Thousand Fields and the Demon Beast Map.

"Xu Ning, your senior brother should be back soon."

After the three left, Mi Xingye also gave Xu Ning some encouragement and then said...

"I imagine that you gained a lot from this trip, Senior Brother."

The reason He Mingye left to travel was because he was stuck in the True Intent Realm and could not make progress. He went out to find an opportunity to advance to the True Domain Realm.

"When your senior brother returns, the two of you must work together as brothers. You two are the foundation and hope of my Yuelan Sect."

Mihoshino's expression was very serious.

At this moment, Mi Xingye had already realized that He Mingye and Xu Ning's talents far surpassed those of their predecessors.

In Mi Xingye's view, the two of them were fully capable of taking on the heavy responsibilities of the sect before they advanced to the Dao Realm.

"Don't worry, Master."

Xu Ning also responded.

After exchanging a few more words, Xu Ning left the sect leader's peak.

Afterwards, Xu Ning went to the sect to find acquaintances such as Le Caiwei, Gu Qinghe, and Ning Xun, and had a brief reunion.

Then, Xu Ning returned to his residence.

He planned to refine the Heartless Pill and some other pills that could provide energy in the coming period of time.

Then, by doing so, I will learn two new secret techniques. After reaching the ninth level, I will inscribe the Dao Realm method and strive to advance to the half-step Dao Realm Grandmaster as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Xu Ning planned to go to the Misty Night Abyss again to see if he could communicate with Gray and White and Void Tiger Lord in the Beast Map and explain the current situation.

……

Several days have passed.

Elder Peak of Valley Scroll.

Recently, Tanijuki has been feeling quite troubled.

His prized disciple, Fang Jie, had lost contact with him for more than half a year.

He was sent to the Bao family, but he did not return after several months.

Gu Juan was worried, so he sent someone to look for him. The message his men brought back was that Fang Jie had already left the Bao family.

After this news was brought back, Tanijuku had a very bad feeling.

Although Fang Jie would travel in the past, he would always explain his destination to himself before leaving.

Fang Jie and Bao Ruyuan are different. In Gu Juanxin's mind, Fang Jie's status is almost second to none.

Fang Jie's sudden disappearance has left Gu Juan feeling uneasy.

Moreover, recently, Mi Xingye's disciple Xu Ning returned. He not only advanced to the True Domain Realm, but also killed Feng Changge of the Illusion Blood Sect, making a name for himself. This further stimulated Gu Juan's nerves.

In order to find out about Fang Jie as soon as possible, Gu Juan has sent his trusted steward to investigate the matter, and there should be results soon.

At this moment, Tanijuki sat quietly in the room.

An old man with gray hair and a thin build came to his Elder Peak.

"Tani-maki".

The old man ignored the disciples serving on Elder Peak and went straight in through the door.

Hearing the noise, Tanijuku opened his eyes and showed a surprised expression after seeing who it was.

"Elder Duan!"

Gu Juan quickly stood up and bowed respectfully as a disciple: "What brings you here?"

Gu Juan is extremely arrogant, and as an elder within the sect, he always has a cold face towards everyone.

However, upon seeing this person, Tani Maki behaved with unusual humility.

The reason for this is that Elder Duan Qinghui in front of them had done Gu Juan a great favor in the past.

Duan Qinghui, like Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan, and others, is a former elder of the Yuelan Sect.

When Gu Juan and Mi Xingye were vying for power, Duan Qinghui tried his best to help Gu Juan and wanted to push Gu Juan to the position of sect leader, but he failed to achieve his goal.

"You still don't know why I've come?"

Duan Qinghui narrowed his eyes slightly and asked a question.

"This disciple does not know."

Gu Juan shook his head.

Since Duan Qinghui stepped down from his position as elder and went into seclusion, he rarely makes a public appearance.

He was not notified beforehand that they were coming here.

"It seems you're a marginal figure within the Yue Lan Sect..."

Duan Qinghui's tone carried a hint of mockery.

"Please enlighten me, Elder Duan."

Tanijuki also had some guesses.

"The seventeen prefectures of Yuanbei may be about to receive uninvited guests. We old folks have been brought back out to deal with any unforeseen circumstances."

Then, Duan Qinghui recounted the whole story of the people from Wansheng Prefecture to Gu Juan.

After hearing this, Gu Juan's face turned ashen, and he couldn't utter a single word.

As an elder of the Yuelan Sect, he was completely unaware of such a major event.

It would be one thing if he himself didn't know, but Yuan Cheng was involved throughout the whole process, and some of the other elders also knew the inside story, which made Gu Juan extremely resentful.

"That's going too far!"

After a long silence, Gu Juan finally spoke in a cold voice.

Just as Duan Qinghui said, he had indeed become a marginal figure in the Yue Lan Sect.

In an instant, the hatred that Gu Juan felt for Mihoshino deepened.

"alright."

Seeing Gu Juan's attitude, Duan Qinghui said, "With a potential crisis looming, we should put aside personal grudges for now. Your struggle with Mi Xingye was settled when he succeeded as sect leader. What we need to see next is the competition among the younger generation."

"Speaking of the younger generation, what about Fang Jie? I haven't seen him in a long time. Has he advanced to the Tongyin Realm?"

Duan Qinghui had a deep impression of Fang Jie. When Gu Juan brought Fang Jie to see him before, he had given Fang Jie many nice things.

However, having been oblivious to the world around him for years, Duan Qinghui was not very aware of what was happening in the outside world.

"Fang Jie has already advanced to the True Intent Realm... but..."

Gu Juan pursed her lips.

Upon hearing that Fang Jie had advanced to the True Intent Realm, Duan Qinghui's eyes lit up with delight. However, noticing something amiss in Gu Juan's tone, he pressed further, "But what?"

"It's just that Fang Jie and I have lost contact for more than half a year."

Tanijuku's voice was low and deep.

"What?"

A cold glint appeared in Duan Qinghui's eyes: "Something happened to him?"

"It's not confirmed yet."

Tani Maki answered truthfully.

Duan Qinghui's face was grim, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Let me know as soon as you have any news."

Duan Qinghui sighed deeply, then said, "I will be staying here for a while from now on."

"Yes……"

Tani-maki responded.

Afterwards, Duan Qinghui left Elder Peak of Gujuan and went to Sect Master Peak, where Qiu Renshan, Du Yuan and others were still waiting for him.

Duan Qinghui left.

Snapped!

No longer suppressing her anger, Gu Juan picked up the teacup and smashed it.

"Yoneshino, do you really think I'm an easy target?"

He was finding it difficult to calm himself down.

"Elder."

Just as I was getting angry, a timid voice came from outside.

"Elder, Deacon Jia has arrived."

The disciple said.

Upon learning the identity of the visitor, Gu Juan forcibly calmed his anger.

This steward, Jia, was the confidant he had previously sent to investigate Fang Jie's disappearance.

"Let him in."

"It's Tanijuku!" he said sternly.

"Greetings, Elder Gu."

Deacon Jia hurried in and bowed to Gu Juan.

He sensed that Gu Juan's mindset seemed a bit off, so he became very cautious.

"Have you found out where Fang Jie is?"

Tani asked, her expression full of concern.

"no."

Deacon Jia said, forcing himself to speak.

Tanijuki felt a wave of disappointment.

"However, Elder Gu, I discovered something rather unusual about the Bao family."

"That's what Deacon Jia said."

"speak."

Gu Juan spoke coldly.

"Before Fang Jie's last contact with the Bao family, Bao Qiuhua, the eldest patriarch of the Bao family, and another patriarch named Bao Xinxian were killed by villains."

Deacon Jia recounted the story.

"Is Bao Qiuhua dead?"

Gu Juan's eyes twitched.

Although he and Bao Qiuhua had not been in contact for a long time, they did have a personal relationship when they were younger.

"Yes."

Deacon Jia continued, "Before the two were killed, an unknown powerful figure did approach the Bao family. Fang Jie tried to pursue them, but failed."

"After interrogating several elders and the clan head of the Bao family, I learned that these two people had gone to Feiyun Prefecture together two years ago. At that time, they went to Feiyun Prefecture to capture a descendant of the Wei family, with the aim of using their blood to unlock the Dao seal."

"Go on."

"It's time," Gu Juan urged.

"After Bao Qiuhua was killed, the Daoyin was stolen, and the descendants of the Wei family were rescued."

Deacon Jia said, "Afterwards, I traced the matter back to its source and went to Yunying City in Feiyun Prefecture to inquire about the Wei family and learned..."

"The descendants of the Wei family returned home safely, accompanied by Xu Ning of Yuelan Sect."
