309: Test Li Changfeng!
Under those circumstances, Ye Wushuang was indeed out of danger, and it was only natural for him to return alive. However, because every Immortal Lord in every previous team had perished, I speculated that Ye Wushuang would encounter problems on his way back.
However, when Zi You told you that Ye Wushuang had returned alive, you suddenly realized that all your previous speculations were wrong.
Perhaps, the time you and Ye Wushuang went out, the destination wasn't very dangerous, and there were no Eerie Creature that could threaten Ye Wushuang, which is why he was able to return alive.
The next second, Zi You told you an unimaginable outcome.
"Ye Wushuang... he defected!"
Zi You told you that after returning to the Immortal Spirit Sect, Ye Wushuang inexplicably injured someone from the Vanguard Hall and left the Immortal Spirit Sect with his Cultivation resources.
Zi You told you that shortly after, the Immortal Spirit Sect issued a proclamation: Ye Wushuang had embezzled Cultivation resources and injured fellow Disciples, and a kill order had been issued for him.
"Ye Wushuang? A traitor?"
You had considered many possibilities, but you never imagined that Ye Wushuang would defect.
"But there's no reason!"
You couldn't think of any reason for Ye Wushuang to become a traitor. Could it be because of those Cultivation resources?
I admit, the quantity of Immortal Stones was considerable, but it was far from enough to make Ye Wushuang defect, unless all the resources from that Secret Realm were added.
There were many resources in that Secret Realm; you only took a small portion in the last simulation.
However, this thought was quickly dismissed by you.
You were very clear that there were thousands of Eerie Creature in that Secret Realm.
Even you, invincible in the Immortal Realm, would have to use Heavens Mandate Protection to escape after entering.
You couldn't imagine how anyone else could come out of there alive.
Even if Wang Jian used his Divine Soul Clone to retrieve a Storage Ring, the Cultivation resources inside wouldn't necessarily be more than what you collected.
Therefore, this idea was quickly dismissed by you.
After much thought, you still couldn't understand why Ye Wushuang would leave the Immortal Spirit Sect.
"Senior Sister, do you believe the Vanguard Hall's statement?"
"I... don't believe it."
Zi You had initially been half-believing, half-doubting, but upon hearing you say this, she immediately knew there was a problem.
At the same time, your gaze swept over everyone present, then settled on Zhuge Qing.
Zhuge Qing gave a helpless smile.
"I don't know either!"
Zhuge Qing told you that after entering the Vast Immortal Domain, he found that the effectiveness of Heavenly Secret Art had significantly decreased, and many things could no longer be divined.
In Zhuge Qing's eyes, your Heavenly Secret Art was more powerful than his, and perhaps only you could divine something.
Hearing this, your eyelids involuntarily twitched.
If Zhuge Qing said the Heavenly Secret Art's effect wasn't good, then your Heavenly Secret Art's effect would naturally also not be good.
The reason you knew so many things was not at all due to the Heavenly Secret Art.
However, you couldn't reveal this matter.
"Ye Wushuang... where would he go..."
Currently, you knew that the truth of all matters could only be known by finding Ye Wushuang.
"I think we should just forget it. How could a dignified Immortal Lord expert like Ye Wushuang bother with people like us?"
Just then, Lin Tian suddenly spoke.
"I'm going back to Cultivate first!"
Ye Chuxue, seeing no outcome, simply returned to continue her Cultivation. She felt that Lin Tian's words made a lot of sense; strength was the ultimate Dao.
Seeing this, you could only give up.
The matter of Ye Wushuang could only be addressed later if you had a chance to meet him outside.
"Senior Sister, besides Ye Wushuang, were there any other unusual situations?"
Zi You furrowed her brow in thought, and soon she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, right!"
"Little Junior Brother, Li Changfeng hasn't sent any Medicinal Pills over for the past few months."
"Li Changfeng isn't sending Medicinal Pills anymore?"
You hadn't expected that Li Changfeng, who had continuously sent you Medicinal Pills for nearly twenty years, would suddenly stop.
Li Changfeng stopped sending Medicinal Pills at this particular time, not earlier or later.
You didn't know if Ye Wushuang's defection was related to Li Changfeng.
You decided to make time in the next couple of days to visit Li Changfeng and inquire about the situation.
You told Zi You that you would look into Li Changfeng's situation.
Afterward, Zi You briefly recounted everyone's situation over the past decade or so.
The next day!
The next morning, you headed towards the Pill Peak where Li Changfeng resided.
Upon arriving at the Pill Peak's main hall, you found Li Changfeng already seated there, as if he knew you were coming.
"This Junior is here specifically to thank Senior for your help over the years!"
Seeing Li Changfeng, you spoke directly and to the point.
Li Changfeng, seeing this, showed a kind smile on his face.
"What? Are you here to seek an explanation?"
"Are you here to ask me why I gave you Medicinal Pills for twenty years, but suddenly stopped recently?"
Seeing that your intention was seen through at a glance, you could only continue to brazenly deny it.
"Immortal King Li is joking!"
You told Li Changfeng that you had been in closed-door Cultivation all these years, and after coming out, you heard that he had continuously given Medicinal Pills for twenty years without interruption, so you came here specifically to thank him.
"Oh? Is that so?"
You smiled and did not continue the topic.
"Immortal King Li, what do you think about Ye Wushuang's matter? Do you know anything about it?"
"Ye Wushuang? I don't know!"
While Li Changfeng was speaking, you kept staring into his eyes.
However, you found that Li Changfeng's tone was steady and there was no ripple in his eyes as he spoke.
Immediately after, you continued to probe Li Changfeng.
You told Li Changfeng that although you had been in closed-door Cultivation all these years, your companions on Peak Number Twelve had told you that every time an Immortal Lord Disciple from the Vanguard Hall led a team out, that Immortal Lord Disciple would perish.
At this point, you stared intently at Li Changfeng and changed the subject.
"Immortal King Li, are you aware of this situation?"
After hearing this, Li Changfeng showed a shocked expression.
"What? What are you talking about? I don't understand?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? How can an Immortal Lord Disciple die after going out?"
You looked at Li Changfeng's expression and found that he seemed genuinely unaware.
However, you were certain that Li Changfeng definitely knew.
At this moment, you didn't know why he was deliberately hiding it.
However, through Li Changfeng's behavior, you had already confirmed some things.
Just as you were about to leave, Li Changfeng suddenly spoke.
"You took twenty years to Breakthrough to the Great Perfection of the Immortal Realm?"
