627: Chapter 627 Deep Within the Lin Yuan Sect

Meanwhile.

Western Middle Domain.

Linyuan Sect.

Inside an ancient Immortal Cave in the deepest part of the Sect.

Two Gray-robed Old Men sat cross-legged on meditation cushions.

Their aura was very strange; they appeared to have no aura at all, yet upon careful perception, one would feel they were unfathomable, as if they had merged with heaven and earth.

One of the old men had a hunched figure, thin as a skeleton, with a sinister expression that made one shudder.

The other old man was tall and sturdy, with an imposing manner that did not require anger to be intimidating.

They were none other than Immortal Xuan Gu and Immortal Die Yan.

"Is it dead? That ant that was spying on us just now!"

Immortal Xuan Gu suddenly opened his eyes, his tone cold.

His cheeks were incredibly gaunt, and within his deep, sunken eye sockets were a pair of heart-palpitating gray eyeballs, faintly revealing phantoms of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which made one's hair stand on end.

"I'm not sure. I only released a wisp of Immortal Sense just now, and it nearly alarmed the will of the heavenly dao of the Haomiao Realm, so I didn't continue to investigate!"

Immortal Die Yan slowly opened his eyes and shook his head slightly, appearing somewhat helpless.

Immortal Xuan Gu: "Damn it, how did he find the location of our Linyuan Sect?"

Immortal Die Yan: "It seems he followed the spatial channel of the teleportation array and investigated all the way here!"

"What? Then hasn't the altar that the Master ordered us to set up been exposed!"

"That's not necessarily true. The dao law patterns on those altars are not something an Immortal Cultivator can spy upon. As long as one stares directly at those patterns, they will be enveloped by their aura and suffer a backlash. Unless one is an Immortal, they simply cannot withstand it."

"Even the Immortal Slaves dare not spy on or stare directly at that altar! They walk around it!"

Immortal Die Yan pondered for a moment and said with certainty.

"And that person just now, whose Divine Sense strength is close to Mahayana Peak, could not possibly withstand the backlash of those dao law patterns."

"This means that before he discovered that altar, the altar had already self-destructed."

"That's good! If it were exposed and affected the Master's grand plan, we would be in trouble!"

Immortal Xuan Gu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"By the way, from which location did that ant initiate the spying?"

"It seems to be the Xu Family Ancestral Land in the Western Middle Domain!"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Die Yan frowned. For some reason, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"That place, it seems to be Lord Zhao's responsibility, right?"

"Lord Zhao? How does he do things? The teleportation array hidden in the Xu Family was actually discovered by someone?"

A flash of displeasure crossed Immortal Xuan Gu's eyes, and his voice was slightly cold.

"No, this matter is likely not that simple!"

Immortal Die Yan's expression was grave, his brows locked tight.

Every location where they implemented the Master's grand plan had extremely powerful illusion arrays set up.

Although the power did not reach Immortal Rank to avoid attracting the attention of the Haomiao Realm's will of the heavenly dao, it was not something that current Cultivators of the Haomiao Realm could discover.

After all, they had already purged the Mahayana Peak Realm Cultivators of the Haomiao Realm once.

Logically, there shouldn't be any leaks!

Could something have happened to Lord Zhao?

"Die Yan, what do you mean?"

Immortal Xuan Gu turned his head to look at Immortal Die Yan beside him, somewhat puzzled.

"Exactly what I said!"

Immortal Die Yan lowered his voice and then added another sentence.

"Xuan Gu, hurry up and contact Lord Zhao to ask about his current situation!"

"You're right!" Immortal Xuan Gu nodded slightly, his tone unfriendly. "I'll go ask him right now! How did he do things? How could such a problem occur!"

Immediately, he stretched out a withered hand and grabbed at the Void Realm.

A gray light flashed.

An white jade tablet appeared in Immortal Xuan Gu's hand.

This was the Restriction jade tablet for controlling all the Immortal Slaves, including Lord Zhao.

Although Lord Zhao was an Immortal Slave, his master was not them, but the high-level officials of Jiyuan Palace, who were also high-ranking Immortals.

Therefore, they could not directly control these Immortal Slaves, but could only control them through this Immortal Slave jade tablet.

To contact Lord Zhao, using this Immortal Slave jade tablet was the fastest way.

One could communicate directly through the Immortal Slave contract.

Subsequently, a gray light flashed on Immortal Xuan Gu's hand, directly activating the Immortal Slave jade tablet.

The Immortal Slave jade tablet instantly transformed into a page emitting white light.

The names of many people were written on the page.

Each name corresponded to an Immortal Slave.

Through this page, one could track every Immortal Slave.

"Let me see, Lord Zhao... hmm? This is... what is going on?"

Immortal Xuan Gu's expression changed drastically as he looked at a certain part of the page.

He saw that among the many names flashing with dazzling spiritual light, only the two characters for Lord Zhao had become extremely dim.

"Dead? Only after an Immortal Slave dies will his name dim!"

Immortal Xuan Gu was filled with disbelief and stood up directly, his eyes wide, but he had not misread it.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Doesn't Lord Zhao have the Immortal Talisman we bestowed upon him? In the Haomiao Realm, who could possibly withstand an Immortal Talisman?"

At this moment, Immortal Die Yan remembered something.

"Have you forgotten why the Master sent us to the Lower Realm?"

Originally, they did not need to do this kind of thankless and troublesome task.

But it was precisely because the previous Immortal sent to the Haomiao Realm had died that it was their turn to do this mission.

The person who could kill an Immortal must also be an Immortal.

Therefore, it was very likely that an Immortal was hiding within the Haomiao Realm!

Otherwise, how did the previous Immortal who came to the Lower Realm die?

"You mean, the person who made a move to finish off Lord Zhao is an Immortal?"

"But the person spying here just now didn't seem to be an Immortal, right?"

Immortal Xuan Gu was even more puzzled.

"Right, we can look at Lord Zhao's memories before he died, so we can know what exactly happened!"

After an Immortal Slave dies, through the Immortal Slave contract, some images seen before death would be transmitted back, so they could also use this to see exactly who finished off Lord Zhao.

"Come out!" Immortal Xuan Gu immediately acted, directly reaching out his hand and grabbing gently.

The remnants of Lord Zhao's Divine Soul in the Immortal Slave jade tablet flew out.

Following that, this trace of weak Divine Soul instantly became even more illusory, and then bloomed with dazzling light, transforming into a light screen.

It vividly displayed the scene of Lord Zhao fighting with someone.

The scene was not long.

It was only a few dozen breaths, and it was intermittent.

After watching it, the expressions of Immortal Xuan Gu and Immortal Die Yan both became incomparably grave.

"This person is definitely the Mahayana Cultivator who was spying here just now! I didn't expect him to be able to withstand an Immortal Talisman!"

Immortal Die Yan said in a serious tone.

"It's just some images, so I can't tell what means he used, but what is certain is that this person is not simple, and definitely not just a Cultivator from an ordinary Cultivation Family!"

"And this person's words are a bit interesting. Could it be that there is really another Immortal Realm faction hidden within the Haomiao Realm?"

"This would explain why the Immortal sent by our Jiyuan Palace last time died in the Haomiao Realm!"
