65: Nangong Li and Liu Yixue's shock

The Heavenly Feather Sect, once glorious and brilliant, revered by all beings in the Eastern Region, was now deserted. All that met the eye were ruins and broken walls, a desolate scene as if from another lifetime.

Suddenly, a sword light streaked across the Void Realm, stopping above the ruins of the Heavenly Feather Sect.

The next moment, the sword light dissipated, and Nangong Li's figure floated down.

"How could this be?"

Witnessing the scene before her, Nangong Li was greatly shaken.

She clearly remembered that three months ago when she returned to visit Ye Fan, the Heavenly Feather Sect was not like this at all.

Why had such a drastic change occurred in just a few months?

"What exactly happened to the Heavenly Feather Sect?"

"Who! Who did this?!"

Nangong Li's emotions fluctuated violently, and her Innate Sword Intent uncontrollably poured out, further devastating the already ruined Heavenly Feather Sect.

Just then, crystalline snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the surrounding temperature rapidly dropped to freezing.

Nangong Li frowned slightly and parted her red lips, "Second Senior Sister, you've come too?"

As soon as her voice fell, ice and snow swirled through the sky, and a figure wrapped in a cerulean frost descended with a flurry of plum blossoms.

The frost dissipated instantly, revealing a graceful figure in a snow-colored flowing immortal dress, appearing opposite Nangong Li.

This was the Sect Master of the Ice and Snow Sect, Liu Yixue, a Cultivator at the Hunyuan Realm Seventh Level, and also Shen Lian's former Second Junior Sister.

She surveyed the desolate scene before her, and a cold voice emerged from her mouth: "What exactly happened to the Heavenly Feather Sect? Why has it become like this?"

As Liu Yixue spoke, her cold eyes were fixed on Nangong Li, as if demanding a proper explanation from her.

Nangong Li: "So Second Senior Sister doesn't know either? I only heard reports from my Disciples that something major happened to the Heavenly Feather Sect,

That's why I rushed here from the Southern Region. I thought Second Senior Sister knew and was just about to ask you.

By the way, Second Senior Sister, did you also hear this news and rush back to the Eastern Region, not caring about the millions of miles of distance?"

Liu Yixue shook her head, "I returned to the Eastern Barrens this time to invite Old Ancestor and Faner,

To attend my wedding with the Young Lord of Yuntian City. I even brought the invitations. I didn't expect to hear about a change in the Heavenly Feather Sect as soon as I entered the Eastern Barrens, so I rushed here to see."

After speaking, she looked around again, closed her eyes to sense for a moment, and then frowned.

"Who could have such a deep grudge against the Heavenly Feather Sect? I sense that the Spiritual Veins and even the earth qi that sustained tens of thousands of Disciples throughout the Sect have all been destroyed."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Li immediately closed her eyes and sensed for a while.

After this investigation, her face also turned pale: "The Heavenly Feather Sect's earth qi has been destroyed? Then Old Ancestor Tianyu and Faner..."

A trace of solemnity also flashed across Liu Yixue's face.

The two looked at each other in silence, still unable to fathom what kind of existence the Heavenly Feather Sect had provoked to end up in such a state.

"We must investigate this thoroughly."

After a moment of silence, the two women spoke almost in unison.

"With such a major event happening to the Heavenly Feather Sect, it's impossible for the various Sects in the Eastern Region to have no news at all. We'll go to nearby Sects to look for clues first."

"The whereabouts of Old Ancestor and Faner also need to be investigated. There couldn't have been no signs of this beforehand."

"Then let's split up. I'll go to the Tianqing Sect to inquire about clues, and you go to the Moon Shadow Sect first."

"Alright."

The two women immediately prepared to search for clues separately.

But just then, a surge of starlight descended from the Void Realm.

"You two needn't make a wasted trip. The three Sect Masters of the Qinglan Sect, Moon Shadow Sect, and Tianqing Sect have already encountered the Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation in the Monster Beast Mountain Range and unfortunately perished."

Amidst the flickering starlight, an ethereal woman slowly appeared.

Her hair was like white snow, she held a Star-Moon Wheel, and when her eyes opened and closed, thousands of starlight seemed to shine.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lian Zhen."

Upon seeing the newcomer's appearance, the two women immediately bowed respectfully.

The woman was entrusted by Old Man Tianji to enter the world and search for the existence that was disrupting the Son of Destiny's fate, and to find a way to eradicate it.

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Lian Zhen! Is what you just said true? The three Sect Masters really perished like that?"

Facing Nangong Li's question, Lian Zhen merely replied indifferently: "The Heavenly Dao Lightning Tribulation descended, affecting a radius of ten thousand li around the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

Let alone the three Sect Masters who were only in the Primordial Chaos Realm, even those at the Immortal Realm Third Level would find it difficult to withstand such a Lightning Tribulation."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Yixue and Nangong Li's expressions subtly changed.

They had once conspired with Zhuang Jinghao, Xu Tianchuan, and Fu Hanqing to harm Shen Chuyun by taking advantage of the Opportunity to Seal the Demonic Beast horde.

Unexpectedly, all three of them had now perished in the Monster Beast Mountain Range... For a moment, a trace of panic and unease flashed in their hearts, but also a hint of relief.

Lian Zhen observed the two of them without a change in expression, naturally aware of their dirty tricks.

However, the Tianji Pavilion only maintains the fate and Luck of the world on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, removing all factors that influence the course of destiny.

As for the disputes between Sects and continents, the Tianji Pavilion does not interfere at all.

"Additionally, I have more bad news for you. According to my deductions, Old Ancestor Tianyu's Divine Soul has been completely destroyed, and she is no longer in this world."

Lian Zhen's words directly stunned Liu Yixue and Nangong Li, leaving them momentarily unable to react.

Old Ancestor Tianyu is dead?

That was Old Ancestor Tianyu! A Peak of the Hunyuan Realm existence!

Before they could digest this shocking news, Lian Zhen delivered another piece of information: "Furthermore, the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce has disbanded.

Its President, Su Yuheng, suffered a complete loss of reputation at the Chamber of Commerce Grand Competition and was injured by Gu Luoqing of the Longevity Chamber of Commerce. She is currently recuperating in the Medicine King Glazed Valley."

"What?!"

The two women were shocked again, never expecting that their Third Senior Sister's (Junior Sister's) Tianxia Chamber of Commerce would end up in such a state?

Nangong Li angrily said, "What a Gu Luoqing! I never thought she would have a day to rise again. Daring to oppose my Junior Sister, I will certainly not let her off."

With that, Nangong Li was about to go settle scores with Gu Luoqing.

"Fifth Junior Sister, calm down."

Liu Yixue softly called out to Nangong Li, stopping her impulsive actions.

"It's not too late to act after we've clarified things."

Then she looked at Lian Zhen again: "Fellow Daoist Lian Zhen, did Gu Luoqing gain some Opportunity? We are all aware of her condition.

Otherwise, with the current strength of the Longevity Chamber of Commerce, without external help, how could it suppress the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce?"

Lian Zhen nodded expressionlessly: "Yes, I only recently discovered that at the Chamber of Commerce Grand Competition,

The Longevity Chamber of Commerce was able to suddenly turn things around because of one person, and you all know this person."

"Who is it?"

"Shen Lian!"

These words, like a bolt of lightning, instantly struck the two women, leaving them utterly scorched.

Nangong Li said with a laugh, "Fellow Daoist Lian Zhen, could you be mistaken? How could it be Shen Lian?"

Liu Yixue also showed a suspicious expression: "Yes, Fellow Daoist Lian Zhen, we all know what kind of trash Shen Lian is. How could he possibly team up with Gu Luoqing to deal with Third Senior Sister?"

Lian Zhen: "It's absolutely true. If you inquire about what happened in the major cities of the Eastern Region Continent during this period, you will find verification.

This is not some obscure secret. Tens of thousands of people at the Chamber of Commerce Grand Competition personally witnessed Shen Lian refining four Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivators from the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce into tribulation crossing pills."

At this, Nangong Li and Liu Yixue were so utterly shocked that they couldn't utter a single word.

It was really Shen Lian?

But wasn't he already a trash?

Why did things turn out this way?
