669: Chapter 667 Mission: Discover the truth about the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Completed!

Chu Xuan had previously used [Thought Thread] to probe some of Zhou Fan's memory images.

Among them was the discovery by Zhou Fan that he could use his own lightning-attracting trait to kill Specters.

Furthermore, he could use this to rapidly increase his strength.

Thus, courting death, he went to a certain hazardous location to actively search for any potentially existing Specters.

As a result, he encountered a powerful Specter and almost perished.

Just at the critical moment, Qi Mingzhen appeared and fought the Specter to a standstill, and at the crucial moment, Zhou Fan appeared to break the deadlock.

However, listening to what Qi Mingzhen said now, it was obvious that Zhou Fan's encounter with danger back then was also part of a pre-arranged design.

"There is no need to elaborate on Zhou Fan's extraordinary aspects; he was chosen and nurtured by the Four Sects as the Child of Luck. It's just a pity that this person is too overly compassionate, lacking ruthlessness and decisiveness in his actions, and has a rather soft personality."

Qi Mingzhen shook his head and sighed: "Zhou Fan's growth speed is naturally fast enough in the eyes of his peers, practically out of reach, but in the eyes of the Four Sects, it was still too slow, so they simply abandoned him and chose someone else."

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "So the next one is your youngest son, Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun?"

"My son? That is simply not the real Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun!"

Qi Mingzhen smiled coldly: "Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun was originally the Four Great Sects' means to coerce me, making me obediently listen to them, acting equivalent to a hostage..."

"Yet no one knew that before I sent my youngest son away, I had already left behind a trace of consciousness through the Longitudinal Observation Technique so I could probe the situation at any time."

"Not long after that, after my youngest son was sent to a Secret Realm of the Cangyun Sect, my Divine Ability failed ever since."

"Not long ago, when that Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun appeared, I didn't sense any spiritual imprint left behind by me within the other party's body back then. Even if the imprint had vanished due to too much time passing, there should still be some traces left..."

Speaking to this point, Qi Mingzhen's eyes were practically spitting fire.

"Later, I fortuitously obtained a chance to go to the Secret Realm of the Cangyun Sect. Upon entering it, I quickly obtained a faint, elusive sense, until I finally found the remains of a young child."

At some unknown time, Qi Mingzhen's eye sockets had become bloodshot, and he clenched his teeth tightly:

"My real son had long ago died in an accident, and the Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun who appeared later was merely a substitute that the Four Great Sects found from somewhere unknown, whom they had raised ever since."

"In the latest secret order given to me by the Four Great Sects, it was to use the pretext of healing and secluded cultivation to leave everything to that Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun, and help him increase his prestige and fame..."

"Thus, I simply took this opportunity to leave in order to seek a new way out."

"At the same time, I also left a wisp of my consciousness on Fei'er to monitor the movements of that Young Alliance Leader Qi Yun at any time."

"Chu Xuan, when I saw you, I knew that my opportunity had come!"

Qi Mingzhen stared intently at Chu Xuan with burning eyes and asked once more: "Can I trust you?"

"Haven't you already made your choice?" Chu Xuan's expression remained as usual:

"If you didn't trust me, how could you appear before me?"

"That's right, I have nowhere else to go and can only choose to trust you." Qi Mingzhen sighed looking up at the sky.

A moment later, he looked at Chu Xuan again and said solemnly: "Friend from afar, I don't know what your specific purpose is in coming here, but I can tell that you are not a demon, and you are an enemy rather than a friend to the Four Great Sects. This point alone is already enough."

"It is impossible for you to oppose the Four Great Sects through the influence of the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

"During this period of time, the reason the Heavenly Dao Alliance has been able to occupy the advantage and capture cities and territory is because the Four Great Sects have not arranged for powerful experts to come out, and moreover, the Great Cang Dynasty is also actively contracting its sphere of influence, so what has been plundered are basically remote and sparsely populated places."

"To deal with the Four Great Sects, there is only one way!" Qi Mingzhen's words paused once more, as if he wanted to see a look of anticipation on Chu Xuan's face.

However, Chu Xuan at this moment remained indifferent and silent.

He was checking the System messages.

Just a moment ago, the progress of the second task had reached Perfection.

[Exclusive Task (Two): Explore the truth of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, 100% progress has been achieved.]

[Your rule fragment + 2, Current: 12]

The task of exploring the truth of the Heavenly Dao Alliance was completed, which finally resolved a matter on Chu Xuan's mind.

Only then did Chu Xuan raise his head to look at Qi Mingzhen and say: "You just said there is only one way to deal with the Four Great Sects?"

Qi Mingzhen nodded: "That's right, to annihilate the Four Great Sects, either one possesses sufficient strength oneself, or one has helpers with sufficiently powerful strength."

"The former is too difficult. The Shengyuan Realm experts among the Four Sects are long-established experts who became famous long ago, all just a hair's breadth away from breaking through another level. How difficult is it to surpass them?"

"Then there is only taking the second path: finding helpers who are strong enough."

Qi Mingzhen said solemnly: "Go to the Forbidden Land and invite a True spirit to assist; the Four Sects can be destroyed!"

Chu Xuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows again: "Make it clearer."

Qi Mingzhen said: "To be precise, it is the ancient Tianxing Sea Area! That place has continuous tides, and within it is an incomparably terrifying existence. Not long ago, I reached a deal with it; as long as enough World Luck can be provided, it can make a move once."

Tianxing Sea Area?

Hearing these four words, Chu Xuan's gaze abruptly contracted.

"A True spirit?" Chu Xuan couldn't help feeling a movement in his heart and asked again: "What kind of True spirit?"

"I failed to observe its full appearance, but it should be an extremely massive species, because just a small shadow of it beneath the sea was already more than a hundred zhang in size."

"Could it be that Immortal Longevity Turtle?" Chu Xuan felt a movement in his heart and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

Afterwards, his emotions calmed down, and he looked at Qi Mingzhen and asked: "You already know the method, why didn't you do it yourself instead of coming to find me?"

Qi Mingzhen shook his head and said: "That True spirit seems to be tainted by some kind of bizarre power, sometimes sober and sometimes in Confusion. With my strength, I cannot get too close at all right now, let alone deliver enough Luck."

"But you are different. Your strength is far above mine, and you will definitely be able to handle it." Amidst his words, Qi Mingzhen raised his hand and took out a jade medallion emitting brilliant golden light.

He raised the jade medallion and said with a composed expression: "Most of the Luck I once intercepted is condensed within this jade medallion. If it can be turned to my own use, my strength will definitely increase by a huge margin."

"But if I want to match the Shengyuan Realm of the Four Sects, it is still far from enough!"

"Now, all these forces of Luck are completely given to you... I hope you won't live up to this trust of mine."

Amidst the words, the jade medallion had already arrived before Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan raised his hand to take it, and immediately a System prompt sounded.

[An ordinary jade medallion containing a portion of the Luck power of the Cangyun World, fully recycled by the System, can yield 1.85 units of World Origin.]
