837: Jade slip, tortoise shell, departure

Gui Yi felt the coldness emanating from Ji Wuchang. Seeing the other man's eyes, for some reason, he felt a chill throughout his body, as if he were being stared down by a peerless Vicious Beast.

He couldn't help but tense up, then said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ji, to be honest, Revered Master did not explain what is inside. I don't know what's in here either."

"Furthermore, I don't know why Revered Master chose to do this."

"But Revered Master left me with a message to pass on to Fellow Daoist Ji: he only wishes to form a good karmic bond with you and asks for nothing in return!"

After Gui Yi finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, that Storage Ring flew in front of Ji Wuchang.

He then pressed his palms together, slowly retreated a few steps, and only then turned to leave.

Ji Wuchang watched Gui Yi's departing back, his brow furrowing slightly as he reached out to take the Storage Ring.

His Divine Soul swept over the Storage Ring and found a special Seal on it.

Ji Wuchang pondered for a moment before his Divine Soul surged out, causing the Seal to shatter.

His Divine Soul swept through the Storage Ring, and with a thought, a Jade Slip appeared before him.

His Divine Soul poured into the Jade Slip, and the contents within flooded into his mind like a tide.

His eyes instantly brightened. He hadn't expected that the Jade Slip would contain matters related to the clay pot.

According to the information in the Jade Slip, of the three remaining parts of the clay pot, one was with the Yu Family, one was with the Zhan Family, and the final part was with the Ji Family!

The part belonging to the Ji Family had been taken away by clansmen who left; no one knew where they had gone.

However, although the Ji Family had retained that part, the map inside had long since been taken by Zhan Wuyuan. This meant that Zhan Wuyuan had two maps in his possession.

He now held two parts, and Zhan Wuyuan held two parts. Once combined, they could obtain a complete map!

Ji Wuchang stood there lost in thought. Yaoyao had once told him that Zhan Wuyuan's attack on her seemed to be because of a clay pot.

Zhan Wuyuan thought the clay pot was in her hands, which was why he wanted to kill her and seize it.

But he had clearly miscalculated. The item was not in Ji Yaoyao's hands; she had long since handed it over to the Ji Family's Old Ancestor.

Now, combined with the contents of the Jade Slip, many things were starting to connect.

Later, when Zhan Wuyuan failed to get the clay pot and map from Ji Yaoyao, he turned his sights on the Ji Family.

This person was indeed formidable, causing that massive Family to split directly into two, and he successfully obtained another map as he wished.

He had a premonition that this clay pot contained a terrifying secret.

Ji Wuchang thought of Gui Yi, and then of that Revered Master he had never met, and a hint of coldness couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

He didn't know how the other party knew he had the clay pot.

Since they could know he had the clay pot, they could also know he had obtained the Legacy of the three statues.

"Interesting. I'd like to see what you want to gain from me."

Ji Wuchang muttered to himself, his fingers applying a slight pressure. With a 'crack,' the Jade Slip shattered directly, turning into powder.

He then looked into the Storage Ring; there was one more thing inside, a tortoise shell.

On the tortoise shell were countless runes, densely packed and too many to count.

According to the description in the Jade Slip, this tortoise shell contained a special power. If used, one could catch a glimpse of a corner of the future!

Ji Wuchang looked at this tortoise shell, his expression exceptionally solemn.

In the world of cultivation, one type of person was the most terrifying: those who hid in the city or the wilderness, yet knew everything under heaven.

If such people appeared in a Dynasty, they were often the Imperial Preceptor.

His Divine Soul swept over the tortoise shell, checking it carefully. Finding nothing amiss, he finally put the tortoise shell away.

He walked toward the depths of the academy, which was also where the academy's teleportation array was located.

When Ji Wuchang arrived, he found Feng Yuanfu, Qing Banshuang, Qing Bingxia, and others were all there.

Qing Bingxia's face was slightly pale, and her Aura was not as vigorous as before. It seemed her recent battle with Gui Yi had not been easy for her either.

When Gui Yi saw Ji Wuchang, he hurriedly smiled and nodded at him, which greatly surprised both Qing Bingxia and Yuan Ling.

At this moment, Feng Yuanfu and several of the academy's Masters were adjusting the teleportation array. From the relaxed expressions on their faces, one could tell everything was going smoothly.

"Let's go!"

At that moment, Qing Banshuang spoke slowly and took the first step into the teleportation array.

"Little ones, this teleportation array can indeed reach Jiangshan Province, but each of your landing positions might be different!"

"This is the final test from Jiangshan Academy for you. You will need to reach the academy on your own."

"Take these Jade Tokens. Once you reach the academy, show the plaque, and the academy will naturally know your identity!"

Qing Banshuang spoke slowly, and with a wave of her hand, three Jade Tokens appeared before Ji Wuchang, Yuan Ling, and Gui Yi.

The three of them were slightly stunned. They reached out to take the Jade Tokens, their faces showing looks of surprise.

Ji Wuchang glanced at Qing Banshuang and then at Feng Yuanfu, feeling that they were doing this on purpose!

He was right; they were doing this intentionally as a test for them.

The situation in Jiangshan Province was changing drastically. Countless forces had flooded in, causing the province to change completely long ago.

If Jiangshan Academy wanted to remain firmly at the forefront among so many forces, it needed to use special methods to select the strongest combatants.

As the five people entered the teleportation array, light flickered upon it, all the runes lit up, and a Void Realm passage appeared.

In just an instant, the five figures were swallowed by the Void Realm passage and disappeared without a trace!

Watching the five figures depart, Feng Yuanfu's expression was solemn. He knew that this world was about to usher in a terrifyingly bloody era.

Countless forces would be drawn in; some would grow stronger and stronger, while others would completely vanish.

Just then, Feng Yuanfu looked up at the Void Realm, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Old fellow, since you're here, why hide?"

Feng Yuanfu spoke slowly, his Aura climbing steadily as a terrifying Aura rose from his body.

At that moment, the Void Realm cracked open, and two figures appeared.

An old man holding a scepter and a young novice monk—it was exactly those two from the Luo Shen Temple.

As soon as he saw these two, Feng Yuanfu smiled and said, "Old fellow, I knew it was you. Weren't you supposed to leave? Why are you still in Luohe City?"

Feng Yuanfu spoke with a smile.

In the sky, the old man holding the scepter looked at Feng Yuanfu with pitch-black eyes. In his eyes, there were no whites, only black pupils.

Such eyes looked a bit frightening, but Feng Yuanfu had long since become accustomed to them!

"I am indeed leaving. I've come to say a final goodbye. It will likely be difficult to meet again in the future!"

"Old Feng, I'll give you a piece of advice: if you want to live, leave Luohe City soon!"

"Remember my words, otherwise in the future, I can only come here to burn paper for you!"

After the old man finished speaking, his and the young monk's bodies gradually faded and then disappeared without a trace.

Feng Yuanfu's face changed drastically, his expression becoming solemn!
