Chapter 709: Liu Xingchen Comes Knocking....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Early the next morning, Bi Zhu and Qiao Yi were walking on the road to the Blackheaven Sect.
The Grand Earth Emperor had already appeared, and the Xuanyuan Sword had been claimed by the same person.
As long as they protected the Sun Moon Peak, all other problems would be resolved.
The Blackheaven Sect could slowly relax.
It was also time for the other major sects to leave.
“When should we leave?” Qiao Yi asked.
“Every sect has a chance to get close to the Sun Moon Peak, and that’s where opportunities lie. Getting close to the Grand Earth Emperor and the Xuanyuan Sword allows us to achieve more things. We naturally can’t miss that,” Bi Zhu said with a smile as she took confident steps forward.
The major sects would take their own sweet time, so it would probably be another couple of months before they could leave.
“Princess, you don’t seem to want to go to the Sun Moon Peak,” Qiao Yi said.
“Yes. I told you last night that I received a letter, so I need to deliver that,” Bi Zhu said as she walked along the edge of a bridge.
“Princess, that is quite dangerous,” Qiao Yi said in warning.
The princess had always been like this since she was a child.
She was in her early three hundred, but she was always so young at heart.
“How can the number one talent of the royal family be afraid of this?” Bi Zhu said as she swayed along the edge of the bridge.
Qiao Yi thought about it and then asked about the matter of the cultivation technique.
“The Heaven Bestowing Technique? Wasn’t that something you obtained yourself, Auntie Qiao?” Bi Zhu looked at her. “Do you remember what we did when the Xuanyuan Sword appeared? I can exchange that for the technique.”
“So, that was what you meant when you said it was something that would affect me…” Qiao Yi understood.
“Of course.” Bi Zhu nodded.
After a short while, the two of them arrived at the Sunset Immortal Sect.
“I have an important matter to discuss with Senior Sister Yan Shang. Please inform her, ” Bi Zhu said to the guard at the entrance.
After waiting for a moment, someone led her inside.
In the courtyard, Yan Shang sat in the pavilion. She was accompanied by Junior Sister Liu.
“This person was recruited by an elder into the Blackheaven Sect. She is only an inner sect disciple, but she is acquainted with many people and holds a relatively high status,” Junior Sister Liu whispered.
“Yes, I’ve heard of her a little and seen her a couple of times too. But we haven’t talked much. I don’t know why she is here,” Yan Shang said with a slight nod.
She didn’t quite understand.
Yan Shang chuckled.
After a while, Bi Zhu approached from a distance.
“Hello, Senior Sisters,” she said in greeting. She smiled at them and appeared very friendly.
This put the two at ease, as it didn’t seem like this person was hostile.
Yan Shang stood up and politely said, “Junior Sister Bi Zhu, what brings you here?”
“It’s just a small matter, so I came over for a visit,” Bi Zhu said with a smile.
“Please, have a seat,” Yan Shang said.
The three of them sat under the pavilion and talked casually.
Qiao Yi stood behind Bi Zhu and waited for her instructions.
She felt like she had no right to sit down with such formidable cultivators. Besides, the cultivation realm of the Sunset Immortal Sect’s disciples made her uneasy.
She realized that she was weaker than just about anyone she met. She rarely encountered such situations before. Now, it seemed that the strength of the royal family was indeed insufficient compared to these sects.
After talking for a while, Junior Sister Liu curiously asked, “Did you forget why you came here, Junior Sister Bi Zhu?”
“No… it’s just that I don’t know how to say it,” Bi Zhu said sheepishly.
“You can tell us without hesitation,” Yan Shang said.
“The situation is like this. Last night, when I went out, I met someone. The person asked for my help with something and said that after completing the task, they would give me a magical treasure. But I suspect they might be playing a prank on me. However, the person appeared to be quite powerful, so I couldn’t refuse. That’s why I came to find you, Senior Sister Yan Shang,” Bi Zhu said sincerely.
“What exactly is the matter?” Yan Shang asked.
“They asked me to deliver a letter. This letter is to be delivered to you in person,” said Bi Zhu as she took out the letter. “There’s a powerful curse on it, and only you can open it. If anyone else opens it, they will die on the spot. That’s what the person said.”
Junior Sister Liu was surprised and wanted to examine the letter, but Yan Shang stopped her. “Indeed, it is cursed. Junior Sister Liu, you mustn’t touch it.”
Yan Shang took the envelope and inspected it. It appeared ordinary, but the hidden curse was undeniable.
“What kind of person asked you to deliver such a letter to me?” Yan Shang asked.
“I don’t know. I couldn’t see their faces clearly, but their aura was quite strong,” Bi Zhu said as she looked at the envelope.
After a moment of hesitation, she put away the envelope.
“Senior Sister, this is probably some tactic from a pursuer. You should be careful,” said Junior Sister Liu.
Yan Shang nodded. “I will.”
Sometime later, Bi Zhu stood up to bid farewell to them.
Yan Shang told her that if she encountered that person again, she could inform her immediately to at least ensure her own safety.
Bi Zhu expressed her gratitude and left with Qiao Yi.
Once Bi Zhu left, Yan Shang also returned with Junior Sister Liu.
In the afternoon, the sunlight was bright and warm.
There was no one else in the pavilion now, except for Yan Shang.
She slowly took out the envelope and opened it. There was a folded piece of paper inside.
Yan Shang put down the envelope and began to unfold the paper.
She narrowed her eyes.
Her hand on the paper tightened and tore the letter a little.
There was only one sentence on it: “This is the third gift. Good morning, Miss
Feng Hua.”
Yan Shang slowly placed the paper on the table.
She frowned. Many thoughts whirled in her mind.
At that point, the paper on the table had started to burn. In just a moment, it turned to ashes.
Jiang Hao woke up from his meditation.
There were still many tasks waiting for him in the Spirit Herb Garden.
He needed to go quickly to handle the issues in the Spirit Herb Garden. Otherwise, things would become more troublesome, and his master would blame him.
However, as soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he froze.
Three people were standing outside the gate, and the one leading them was Liu Xingchen. Jiang Hao hadn’t seen him in so long.
At that moment, his aura wasn’t blood-red, nor did he possess the aura of a True Dragon or the mystique sorcerer. This was the real Liu Xingchen.
“Junior Brother Jiang, it’s been a while.”
“It has indeed been a while,” Jiang Hao said. He couldn’t understand why Liu
Xingchen was here with these people.
“Do you know Senior Brother Qian Chen?” Liu Xingchen asked.
Jiang Hao was taken aback.
Had the Law Enforcement Hall finally found time to deal with Senior Brother Qian Chen’s matter?
Senior Brother Qian Chen had not only betrayed the sect but had also disregarded all the rules of the sect. He had acted recklessly and humiliated the sect.
So, no matter where he went, he couldn’t escape the Heavenly Note Sect.
Even if he were dead, this matter wouldn’t be easily resolved, and all those involved would suffer.
Jiang Hao sighed. Liu Xingchen had come to find him.
‘Yes, 1 do.”
Since members of the Law Enforcement Hall had come with him, it meant they had evidence.
Moreover, this kind of matter didn’t care about evidence. They could investigate as they pleased. Asking him about Qian Chen was just a formality they were fulfilling.
“I heard he approached you,” Liu Xingchen said.
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.
Liu Xingchen smiled. “In that case, Junior Brother Jiang, we’ll have to trouble you to come with us..”
