The Secret of the Storage Bag

“One more question: how do I contact this Cloud Mist Pavilion? What are the requirements to join the Cloud Mist Pavilion?”

After Zhou Yuan made up his mind, he immediately asked the questions on his mind.

Upon hearing him, Chen Ren quickly replied, “Senior, the Cloud Mist Pavilion requires an introduction to join, and those who join need to prepare a gift!”

“As far as I know, if it’s Spirit Stones, it starts from five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!”

“After joining the Cloud Mist Pavilion, you will receive a Cloud Mist Pavilion token. As long as you have a need, the people of the Cloud Mist Pavilion will help.”

Zhou Yuan frowned upon hearing Chen Ren’s words. He felt like it was some kind of pyramid scheme.

“Who is the person in charge of the Cloud Mist Pavilion here in Fanxing City? Can you contact this person?”

Zhou Yuan always felt that this Cloud Mist Pavilion was unreliable, so he wanted to confirm it himself.

Chen Ren quickly said, “Senior, I haven’t met the person in charge of the Cloud Mist Pavilion, nor do I know their name!”

“I used to contact my friend, and if I were to join the Cloud Mist Pavilion later, I would be working under my friend.”

Zhou Yuan nodded expressionlessly upon hearing this. The more he listened, the more it sounded like a pyramid scheme.

However, he knew that no one here knew what a pyramid scheme was; it was just a special form they had developed!

“I can let you go. The other five will temporarily stay here. As long as you can arrange to meet your friend, I will release the five of them.”

“Of course, you can also choose to escape alone, but I will chop the five of them into pieces and feed them to the fish!”

After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a strong gust of wind shot out, directly unsealing Chen Ren’s cultivation.

Chen Ren’s expression was complex. He had already realized that, apart from the veiled woman, the remaining few were terrifyingly powerful.

He must have been blind to dare scheme against them. He admitted defeat this time!

Chen Ren dejectedly cupped his fists towards Zhou Yuan and asked, “Senior, after I arrange to meet him, where should we meet?”

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, then said to Zi Ying beside him, “Fellow Daoist Zi Ying, please make a trip with him and bring that person here.”

Zi Ying nodded slightly upon hearing this, then said to Chen Ren, “Just go, I will follow behind you!”

Chen Ren’s scalp tingled instantly, and he nodded repeatedly.

After Chen Ren left, Zhu Zi brought Bian River over and recounted what he had just extracted from Bian River’s mouth.

What Bian River said was similar to Chen Ren’s account, but less detailed, which indicated that they were not lying.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand, covering the five people with a Space Restriction, isolating them from the outside world.

Leng Qingxue, who was beside him, spoke up when she saw this, “Brother Zhou Yuan, is there something wrong with them?”

Zhou Yuan shook his head slightly, then spoke with a solemn expression, “Qingxue, do you still remember the Piao Miao Sect that Senior Li Gantang mentioned?”

Leng Qingxue was slightly startled, then nodded, a hint of confusion in her eyes, not understanding the connection.

Zhou Yuan slowly said, “I have some connection with the Piao Miao Sect! And the Cloud Mist Pavilion claims to be the original Piao Miao Sect, which is why I need to investigate them!”

“Moreover, I feel that this Cloud Mist Pavilion is very unreliable, somewhat like a scam!”

“Just the three of you should know about this; don’t mention it to anyone until I’ve investigated it thoroughly.”

Zhou Yuan thought of what Li Gantang had said: almost all the top forces in the Xuantian Star Region were now connected to the Piao Miao Sect.

His identity absolutely could not be exposed, otherwise, there would be endless trouble.

To put it bluntly, the Piao Miao Sect had become history, and the major forces did not want the Piao Miao Sect to be resurrected.

It’s like a person who, once accustomed to power and having tasted its benefits, would naturally be unwilling to give it all up suddenly.

Zhou Yuan did not believe that anyone in the Xuantian Star Region would still be loyal to the Piao Miao Sect; if there were, their motives would be significant.

He merely wanted to use the Piao Miao Sect’s name to achieve his own goals.

A new emperor brings new courtiers; the human heart is the most unpredictable!

Leng Qingxue, Chen Wuping, and Zhu Zi all nodded simultaneously, their expressions solemn.

Zhou Yuan not avoiding them when discussing this matter already moved them greatly!

Zhou Yuan sat in a corner of the small courtyard, with three items placed before him: the Piaomiao Arts, Ephemeral Swordplay, and a gleaming longsword!

These three items were left to him by Xuan Chengzi and had long been tossed into a corner of Zhou Yuan’s System space.

If it weren’t for them being left by Xuan Chengzi, these items would have been dealt with by him long ago!

He picked up the Piaomiao Arts, read it from beginning to end again, and then his divine sense swept over it inch by inch, finding no hidden layers.

Then he picked up the Ephemeral Swordplay, also carefully examined it, and still found nothing.

Finally, only the longsword remained; it was just a Magical Artifact.

Zhou Yuan gained nothing from these three items and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Just as he was about to put all three items away, he suddenly saw a line of tiny, ant-sized characters on the back cover of the Piaomiao Arts.

“As long as the holy flame burns, the Piao Miao Sect will not perish!”

Looking at these words, Zhou Yuan frowned slightly, not knowing what they meant!

He put the three items away and placed them back into the storage bag. This storage bag was given to him by Xuan Chengzi and originally contained these very items.

Zhou Yuan put the three items back into the System space. Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly took them out again to examine the storage bag.

Inside the storage bag, there was a passage of text that Zhou Yuan had seen before but always automatically ignored.

At this moment, he seriously looked at the characters.

“The Piao Miao Sect originated from the Upper Realm, the first Sect in the Xuantian Star Region.”

“After its establishment, it remained low-key, and outsiders could not know its true strength!”

“It wasn’t until the great calamity of the Xuantian Star Region, with the invasion of the Extraterritorial Demons, that the Piao Miao Sect’s strength shocked the world!”

“The Piao Miao Sect, with its own power, slew countless Extraterritorial races, saving the Xuantian Star Region from utter destruction.”

“After this battle, the Sect Master disappeared without a trace, and the hearts within the Piao Miao Sect began to waver, subsequently leading to its fragmentation!”

“The lineage of the Piao Miao Sect Master, determined to restore the Piao Miao Sect’s glory, journeyed to the Piao Xue Region and established a Sect!”

“But no one wished to see a powerful Piao Miao Sect again, and various wars continued, weakening the remaining vitality of the Piao Miao Sect with each conflict!”

“We are powerless to reverse the tide. We have sealed our divine origins and buried ourselves deep underground, awaiting the appearance of the Child of Destiny.”

“As long as the holy flame burns, the Piao Miao Sect will not perish!”

“May all of you strive together, gather strength, and restore glory.”

“Piaomiao means drifting with the wind, floating with the water, vast and elusive! The vastness of heaven and earth is all within the realm of Piaomiao!”

“No one can destroy the Piao Miao Sect; it will surely return strong one day!”

Zhou Yuan looked at the words inside the storage bag, his eyes filled with shock.

If he hadn’t heard people repeatedly mention the Piao Miao Sect recently, he would never have thought that so much text was engraved inside this storage bag.

He had a premonition that the Xuantian Star Region would become even more chaotic due to the reappearance of the Piao Miao Sect.
