368: Set off for Tianxing Sect
"The destruction of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls has nothing to do with our Heavenly Star Province. You were the ones who provoked a powerhouse passing through the province!"
"You must have investigated as well; the aura left behind by that person is different from the various Sects of our Heavenly Star Province."
Zhou Haotian spoke again, his tone indifferent and his eyes as calm as water.
Below, Rongcheng Duandao looked at the old man in the sky, his hand unconsciously moving toward the Broken Blade at his waist.
But at that moment, Rongcheng Yiyun shook her head at Rongcheng Duandao. He sighed and slowly moved his hand away from the Broken Blade.
The Rongcheng Clan hated the people of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls to their very bones.
However, Rongcheng Duandao also knew that the current strength of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls was terrifyingly high, not much weaker than the Rongcheng Family during its Peak years.
Once they truly made a move, the consequences would be severe, and it might even lead to the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls hunting them down!
Wu Xiangming's gaze swept across the crowd below, his eyes sinister. Then, he said coldly, "Since this matter happened in the Heavenly Star Province, you cannot distance yourselves from it!"
"My Hall of Ten Thousand Souls will give you three months to provide us with clues about the murderer!"
"If you fail to do so by the deadline, do not blame my Hall of Ten Thousand Souls for not showing respect to the various Sects of your Heavenly Star Province!"
After Wu Xiangming finished speaking, he ignored everyone's reaction. His body gradually faded and vanished in the blink of an eye!
Zhou Haotian's brow furrowed slightly, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes.
He naturally knew who had destroyed the branch of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls in the Heavenly Star Province, but he certainly wouldn't say.
To be honest, others might fear the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls, but he did not.
He was not from the Heavenly Star Province. The reason he came to the Heavenly Star Sect was because one of the founders of the Heavenly Star Sect was an Old Ancestor of the Zhou Family.
He was ordered to stay here for a full hundred years, after which he could return to his Family.
Jiangshan Academy had taken him several decades, and several more decades had passed at the Heavenly Star Sect. Now, only the last few years remained.
The Zhou Family was naturally not as powerful as the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls, but the Zhou Family was backed by the Yu Family, so Zhou Haotian had nothing to fear!
However, just because he wasn't afraid didn't mean others weren't. The heads of the various academies all showed expressions of worry.
Fortunately, the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls' current investigation was targeting the Sects; for the time being, it shouldn't involve the academies.
Ji Wuchang stood at the city gate, personally seeing Gu Sheng out of the city.
"Academy Head, the Ancient Pavilion is now practically non-existent. There's no need for you to venture into danger alone."
"I suspect the internal structure of the Ancient Pavilion has already collapsed. After all, their Grand Elder and Pavilion Master both died here!"
Ji Wuchang spoke to Gu Sheng, a trace of worry appearing in his eyes.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, patted Ji Wuchang's shoulder, and teased, "Wuchang, it seems you have some doubts about my strength!"
"Don't worry, they can't do anything to me. This tumor must be rooted out!"
"They only have themselves to blame for provoking us. It's only natural for us to seek revenge!"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he laughed heartily, a confident expression on his face.
Seeing that the Old Academy Head had put it that way, Ji Wuchang stopped trying to persuade him. He knew the other had already made up his mind.
"Academy Head, take care on your journey!"
Ji Wuchang cupped his fists toward the Old Academy Head, his attitude sincere!
"Cultivate well at the Heavenly Star Sect, and remember to come back to the academy when you have time!"
"I cannot see through your future, but you must remember that the Heavenly Star Sect is even more complex than you imagine. Do not trust others easily!"
"The people behind these individuals are all involved with major powers; it's not as simple as them just being Disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect!"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he waved at Ji Wuchang and then turned to walk into the distance without lingering. His figure soon vanished.
Ji Wuchang sighed and walked toward Zhou Haotian and the others not far away.
Beside Zhou Haotian, a Big Black Bull was pulling a carriage. Zhou Haotian sat on the shafts, while Rongcheng Duandao sat directly on the Big Black Bull's back.
Sitting inside the carriage was naturally Rongcheng Yiyun, and Jiang Qiye stood beside the carriage!
As for Chu Yanran, she had already left on her own.
Seeing Ji Wuchang return, Zhou Haotian, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them and said with a smile, "Let's set off!"
The Big Black Bull moved forward slowly, and the bull-drawn carriage gradually receded on the official road until it disappeared!
Ji Wuchang looked back at Xinglong City, which was now just a small black dot. He knew that he likely wouldn't return to this place in this lifetime.
"System, use eight years of cultivation to Cultivate the Purple Qi Burning Heaven Art!"
[Ding! In the third year of the host's cultivation, your cultivation broke through to the fifth layer of the Soul Splitting Realm!]
[In the eighth year of the host's cultivation, your cultivation broke through to the sixth layer of the Soul Splitting Realm!]
The System's voice sounded, and then a massive amount of spiritual energy surged into Ji Wuchang's Dantian. He hurriedly circulated his Cultivation Technique to absorb this vast spiritual energy.
His cultivation skyrocketed instantly, breaking through two minor Realms in succession, which made him quite delighted.
The reason he chose to break through now was that after arriving at the Heavenly Star Sect, he certainly wouldn't lack Check-in cultivation in the short term.
Breaking through now was better than breaking through multiple times in a row at the Heavenly Star Sect.
Zhou Haotian and Rongcheng Duandao both looked at Ji Wuchang at the same time, their brows furrowing slightly because Ji Wuchang's Breakthrough had occurred without any warning.
However, they were also secretly astonished; Ji Wuchang's Aptitude was somewhat terrifying!
They both came from major families and had extremely sharp eyes. While other things about a person could be concealed, bone age could not.
Ji Wuchang's bone age was only in his early twenties, which was quite frightening!
"System, participate in the flash sale!"
[Ding! flash sale successful. Obtained luck points +200!]
[flash sale successful. Obtained luck points +10!]
[flash sale successful. Obtained one Thousand Illusions Spirit Pupils Experience Card, valid for fifteen breaths. It has been placed in the System space!]
[flash sale successful. Obtained one Transposition Card, a one-time consumable item. Effective within a range of a thousand zhang, can be used against those below the Celestial Phenomenon Realm!]
Having used up all four accumulated flash sales, Ji Wuchang instantly felt refreshed. He then checked the System panel!
[Host: Ji Wuchang]
[Cultivation: Soul Splitting Realm, Sixth Layer]
[root bone: Heaven Rank Low Grade]
[luck points: 5689]
[Special Abilities: Divine Soul Devouring, Puppet Clone Technique]
[System Mission: None]
Looking at his luck points, which was still only a bit over five thousand, he couldn't help but sigh. This luck points was truly difficult to accumulate.
He then checked his System space; he already had several Transposition Cards, so he would have to use them in the future.
Then, he looked at that Reincarnation Dream Experience Card, and a look of heat couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
He decided to use this in the next couple of days; he wondered what he could gain this time!
Ji Wuchang looked up at Rongcheng Duandao and then at Zhou Haotian.
He had a premonition that these two must have reached some kind of deal.
Ji Wuchang didn't know that on a distant mountain Peak, an old man stood, looking gloomily in the direction Ji Wuchang had left.
A look of deep unwillingness appeared in the old man's eyes, but in the end, he could only let out a long breath of turbid air and give up helplessly.
This old man came from the Demonic Path's First-Grade Hall!
