322: The truth about the Xianling Sect!

You followed the Black Sea, heading towards the Great Canyon.

The sixty-first year!

You finally returned to the Great Canyon once more, back to the territory of the Immortal Spirit Sect.

Upon seeing the Great Canyon, you headed directly towards the Bronze Divine Statue.

"Zhang Jun! Feng Qi!"

The next second, two familiar figures emerged from the statue.

"Holy smokes! Feng Qi, slap me, am I seeing things?"

Zhang Jun rubbed his eyes in disbelief, seeing you alive before him.

"You're not mistaken, this guy is really still alive!"

Feng Qi slapped Zhang Jun on the shoulder, speaking in shock.

Seeing the two of them somewhat stunned, you decided to state your purpose directly.

You told Zhang Jun that you wanted to meet Li Changfeng.

You told Zhang Jun that you couldn't enter the Immortal Spirit Sect now, or you would be discovered by the Hall Master of the Vanguard Hall immediately.

Zhang Jun and Feng Qi frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"You want to see Elder Li?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Jun told you to wait outside for a bit while he went in to report to Li Changfeng.

You weren't surprised by this.

However, Zhang Jun didn't make you wait long; he came out again shortly after entering the Immortal Spirit Sect.

"Here!"

Zhang Jun handed you a box of Medicinal Pills.

Zhang Jun told you that these were Medicinal Pills given to you by Li Changfeng.

"Elder Li said that as long as you take this Medicinal Pill, you basically won't be discovered by the Hall Master of the Vanguard Hall, as long as you don't appear in front of him."

Seeing this, you unhesitatingly took the Medicinal Pills and gave one to Xuanyuan Tianji.

Immediately after, Zhang Jun led the three of you into the Immortal Spirit Sect.

Throughout the journey into the Immortal Spirit Sect, Zhang Jun's gaze remained fixed on Situ Xiaoyue.

With Zhang Jun's experience, he recognized Situ Xiaoyue's Dragon Clan identity at a glance.

However, what puzzled Zhang Jun was why, after so many years away, you would return with a member of the Dragon Clan.

Soon, Zhang Jun brought you to Pill Peak, where you once again saw the familiar Li Changfeng.

"Elder Li!"

Upon seeing Li Changfeng, you bowed.

"I didn't expect you to actually return alive; I thought you had long since died in the Chaos Void."

Li Changfeng told you that the commotion you caused when you left the Vast Immortal Domain that day even startled him.

Li Changfeng hadn't expected you to escape from the Immortal Sovereign Realm Hall Master of the Vanguard Hall, nor had he expected you to return to the Immortal Spirit Sect alive.

"Elder Li, it seems you've long been aware of the Immortal Spirit Sect's situation!"

"Naturally!"

At this point, Li Changfeng no longer chose to conceal anything.

"Why didn't you say anything before?"

You looked at Li Changfeng, somewhat confused as to why he was so open about it now, when he had remained silent before.

Li Changfeng smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.

"This matter is taboo in the Immortal Spirit Sect!"

Li Changfeng told you that this matter could only be discovered by oneself; once learned from his mouth, you would be purged immediately.

Li Changfeng told you that the reason he gave you Medicinal Pills before was because he valued your talent and believed you would quickly discover this point.

"What a pity! I thought I had misjudged you; your cultivation progress was too small within twenty years, and you didn't discover the truth of the Immortal Spirit Sect."

"However, I found that I hadn't misjudged after all!"

Li Changfeng told you that your return proved his initial judgment was correct.

"So, the Immortal Spirit Sect is actually a Sect controlled by Eerie Creature?"

As soon as you finished speaking, Li Changfeng slowly closed his eyes and nodded heavily.

Li Changfeng told you that the Immortal Spirit Sect was initially a surviving Human Race force, but in the long river of time, some people lost their way.

"What do you mean?"

After hearing Li Changfeng's explanation, you were momentarily confused.

"Why did a perfectly good Immortal Spirit Sect turn out like this?"

"Alas!"

Li Changfeng let out a long sigh.

Immediately after, Li Changfeng told you that the high-ranking members of the Immortal Spirit Sect had fallen!

Li Changfeng told you that the original intention of the Immortal Spirit Sect was to create the last pure land for the Human Race, ensuring that the Human Race would at least have a future.

Li Changfeng told you that over a long period, some high-ranking members of the Immortal Spirit Sect, due to inability to Breakthrough and other reasons, wavered in their beliefs, and the Sect Master began to venture into the Black Sea, falling towards the anomalous.

Li Changfeng told you that at that time, the Sect Master of the Immortal Spirit Sect was only an Immortal King Realm expert, but when he emerged from the Black Sea, he immediately Broke through to the Immortal Sovereign Realm.

"Do you know? When the Sect Master returned, he excitedly told us about his experience; he wanted all of us to enter the Black Sea for a Breakthrough."

Li Changfeng told you that when the Immortal Spirit Sect's Sect Master first returned after Breaking through to Immortal Sovereign, he could still maintain his human appearance, but gradually, as time passed, he noticed that the Sect Master's appearance began to evolve towards the anomalous, towards a monstrous form.

Li Changfeng told you that initially, the Immortal Spirit Sect's Sect Master could maintain his true nature and not prey on the Human Race, but gradually, Li Changfeng discovered that the Sect Master was secretly using Disciples as blood sacrifices.

"Hiss!"

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Situ Xiaoyue couldn't help but gasp.

She grew up in the Primordial Void Realm and had never seen the true Eerie Clan.

All information about Eerie Creature was heard from the Elders in the Primordial Void Realm.

"So... the Sect Master has now Broke through to Immortal Emperor?"

After hearing this, a bad premonition suddenly arose in your heart.

"Not at all! Do you think the Immortal Emperor Realm is that easy to Breakthrough?"

Li Changfeng shook his head.

"What happened next?"

"Later..."

Li Changfeng told you that ever since the Immortal Spirit Sect's Sect Master fell to become an anomalous creature, the high-ranking members of the Immortal Spirit Sect had basically all followed that path.

Li Changfeng told you that although the high-ranking members of the Immortal Spirit Sect had all fallen to become Eerie Creature, there was still a significant difference between them and the Eerie Creature they had seen.

"Difference? What difference?"

"A difference in temperament!"

Li Changfeng told you that although the Sect Master and high-ranking members of the Immortal Spirit Sect had all fallen to become Eerie Creature, they still retained a trace of sanity.

Li Changfeng told you that they instinctively didn't want to harm the Disciples of the Immortal Spirit Sect.

"And me, the only Elder who hasn't fallen!"
