Chapter 1725: Mirage Sect

~11 min read 2,120 words

He Lingchuan couldn't help but dig his ears. The mirror's scream was too harsh. This Haoyuan Gold Mirror had a great background, so his own broken mirror saw it as if he saw the idol he had been secretly in love with for a thousand years.

"Haoyuan Gold Mirror, the model of our generation!" The mirror's tongue was almost knotted. "It has many, many, many, many wonderful uses, I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

He Lingchuan flicked his finger on his chest, interrupting its chatter.

Too noisy! He had serious business to talk about here.

Lu Jing walked up and bowed respectfully to the black-robed man in the middle: "Sect Master Xiao, the foreign guests have been brought!"

Sect Master Xiao turned his head. He was thin, tall, with three strands of beard under his chin, and a red mole on the tail of his eyebrow. Sure enough, he had the appearance of an immortal style. He Lingchuan knew that this Sect Master's real name was Xiao Wencheng, Daoist name True Person Yuanyu, one of the direct disciples of True Person Qianhuan.

This is an out-and-out immortal who can set up a tablet in the temple and receive incense.

Even his indifference in expression and gaze was very consistent with He Lingchuan's imagination of an immortal.

His gaze swept over He Lingchuan and Zhu Xiuer, sharp as if to pierce people from inside to outside.

Very aggressive, making people very uncomfortable.

This kind of gaze from a superior, He Lingchuan had not experienced for a long, long time.

Lu Jing looked at the situation and brought out the following: "These people say they are guests from Lingshan, and they also showed a token."

He Lingchuan took out the tridacna bell again. Sect Master Xiao took it personally, touched it carefully for a good while, and then gave an "um": "Sure enough, it is the object of the Immortal Venerable."

Is this bell Qianhuan's? He Lingchuan took the opportunity to pick up the conversation: "Qianhuan Immortal Venerable has never come out of the world. Lingshan is worried, so they asked me to come in and ask what happened."

Qianhuan Immortal Venerable has been skipping work for too long. Not only do other true immortals have complaints, but Lingshan is also worried that something happened to him. Sect Master Xiao, as the number one person under Qianhuan, knew the stakes here. "How to address?"

He Lingchuan introduced himself and the three of them casually, and then went straight to the point, putting on a business-like appearance: "May I ask where Qianhuan Immortal Venerable is?"

Sect Master Xiao looked at the people behind him and ordered: "You all go down first."

Everyone, including Lu Jing and others, exited the quiet room, leaving only five people.

"I saw Wang Xingyi last time, he was about the same age as you." Sect Master Xiao turned half around, "Sixty years have passed, and even he has become a National Teacher. How is he doing recently?"

The Soul-Sucking Mirror said "yo": "Good guy, he raised his generation at once."

This is called "arrogance."

He Lingchuan was very familiar with the routines of officialdom, superiors, and human feelings, and brought it back to the theme in two sentences:

"Sorry, I am not from the Mou Kingdom, and I haven't seen National Teacher Wang for two years, but he always writes to me; he should be fine, just worried about Qianhuan Immortal Venerable."

Sect Master Xiao pointed to the mirror: "Do you know who is on the sea?"

"The perspective is too far." He Lingchuan was also observing the mirror surface, "Can it be zoomed in?"

As soon as He Lingchuan finished speaking, the mirror surface of the Haoyuan Gold Mirror suddenly zoomed in, and at the same time focused on the largest and most luxurious ship in the fleet.

Oh, this mirror is so spiritual, it understood what he was saying at once, and even found the flagship of the fleet.

After the picture was zoomed in, He Lingchuan could see the gray sails flapping in the wind, the patches on the sails, the guards and sailors on the deck, and that familiar face—

Bai Ziqi really came.

"Tiangong Cloud Envoy, Bai Ziqi." He Lingchuan pointed to him, "He has been tracking the whereabouts of Qianhuan Immortal Venerable, and Lingshan has sent people to intercept him several times, but all failed."

Sect Master Xiao asked: "Tracking the Immortal Venerable? How is he tracking?"

"Spirit-gathering array on Bai Mao Mountain."

Sect Master Xiao frowned: "What Bai Mao Mountain?"

"Oh, this is the current name; 160 or 170 years ago, that place was called Dragon Head Mountain, the place where the legendary Dragon God fell!" Seeing the change in the other side's face, He Lingchuan told the story even more eloquently, "Nearly a year ago, Lingshan suddenly discovered that the Upside-Down Heaven and Earth Array on Dragon Head Mountain revealed its traces, and the camouflage of the giant fern wood disappeared. When they were about to arrest, Bai Ziqi broke through and fled, and also killed many of our people!"

Good guy! Dong Rui, who was listening from the side, couldn't help scratching his nose.

Did He Lingchuan lie? No. Every word was true. But he removed the most critical factor, and then put the events before and after together, it sounded as if Bai Ziqi was the culprit who destroyed the spirit-gathering array!

This ability to shift blame is becoming more and more sophisticated.

Xiao Wencheng and several people behind him looked at each other, their faces gloomy: "The spirit-gathering array failed, it turned out to be their ghost!"

They have had a hard time in the past half year.

He Lingchuan looked over, and Xiao Wencheng introduced him: "This is Elder Xu, Elder Liu, Elder Jin..."

He Lingchuan clasped his fists in salute, and these few people opposite all nodded.

Elder Xu took the conversation: "Before we brothers followed the Immortal Venerable into the Upside-Down Sea, that spirit-gathering array was set up by our own hands!"

He Lingchuan suddenly realized.

These few people opposite are indeed immortals!

No wonder they are arrogant to mortals.

Lu Jing is a disciple recruited by the Mirage Sect on Silver Pearl Island, while these few are the confidants of True Person Qianhuan, the immortals who have been following him for countless years! Even if He Lingchuan and others have a title of Lingshan Special Envoy, Xiao Wencheng and others still cast a condescending gaze—

Immortals and mortals are different, strength is respected.

"It's strange, if this guy only discovered the Heaven and Earth Array on Dragon Head Mountain, how could he deduce the correct position of the Upside-Down Sea?" Xiao Wencheng frowned, "This array must be compared positively and negatively to be accurately positioned."

He Lingchuan didn't change his face: "Tiangong has endless means, I'm afraid I have to ask him personally to get the answer."

Elder Xu took the conversation again: "Maybe both arrays were discovered by them. Tiangong also has some forces on the Flash Gold Plain. Hey, did you forget, Lingshan knows some news earlier than us!"

He had thick eyebrows and a round face, and his nose was a bit red, looking irritable.

Xiao Wencheng turned around and looked at the fleet and Bai Ziqi in the mirror, his eyes full of deep thought.

Elder Xu couldn't help but say: "Why talk so much? Just try their weight!"

He Lingchuan saw that he reached his hand directly into the Haoyuan Gold Mirror! Not only reaching into the mirror, but also stirring it a few times, the action was no different from scattering eggs, and he hummed: "Waves come!"

The mirror surface rippled, as if it were water surface stirred.

He Lingchuan also noticed that the turquoise stone inlaid on the top of the silver edge turned red quickly as Elder Xu moved.

Until the mirror surface returned to calm, how did that sentence go?

Smooth as a mirror!

Yes, until the picture was clearly displayed again, He Lingchuan and the three discovered that the originally calm sea in the mirror was already surging, and waves were pushing high in the distance, pushing toward Bai Ziqi's fleet! He Lingchuan, who was watching the battle in front of the mirror, had a slightly changed face. What was shown in the mirror was reality, this was a real tsunami!

Yes, it can no longer be called big waves, but a tsunami!

The most terrifying thing is that before the tsunami arrived, the sea surface where the fleet was located dropped rapidly, and even the seawater and the fleet were sucked toward the big tide directly in front!

Bai Ziqi's flagship, although large and luxurious, was like a toy boat in a water tank in front of such heavenly power, and it would overturn if it was lifted gently.

The Soul-Sucking Mirror in He Lingchuan's arms exclaimed: "Good, good, good, this Canglang technique is really amazing, but it can only be cast through the Haoyuan Gold Mirror!"

He Lingchuan had also seen the name of the Canglang technique in the new divine ability catalog given by Panlong City, and there was another name called "Adding fuel to the fire

Judging by the expressions of the immortals, they truly did not know.

How many years had it been since these old fellows left the Upside-Down Sea? Were they perhaps not paying much attention to the human nations on the Flash Gold Plain?

Before the immortals of the Illusion Sect could digest this news, He Lingchuan dropped another bombshell: "Furthermore, the Yao Nation has just been destroyed; that country no longer exists on the Flash Gold Plain."

Xiao Wencheng was finally startled: "The Yao Nation is destroyed? Who defeated it?"

"It was too disobedient, so the Tiangong and Beijia instigated a coup and slaughtered the entire royal family. There is no new king yet, and the former territory of the Yao Nation is currently being fought over by various heroes." Having said this, He Lingchuan shifted the topic. "Before the Yao King died, he released a giant Yin Serpent hidden beneath the Jade Spring Palace, and the Heavenly Gods dispatched two divine descents."

"Divine descents?" Xiao Wencheng became even more focused. "Are they avatars of Miao Zhantian?"

"It doesn't seem so, but I don't know the specifics." He Lingchuan added, "We speculate, could this be an external dharma image of the Thousand Illusion Immortal Venerable?"

He had already seen that the reason the Illusion Sect was concerned about the Yao Nation was likely this Yin Serpent.

Sure enough, Xiao Wencheng nodded: "Correct, that is indeed the Immortal Venerable's dharma image, lent to the ruler of the Yao Nation about sixty years ago."

Would an ancient great immortal live together with mortals? Bai Seventeen found it hard to imagine. It felt as if Miaozhantian lived next door to his house, which was particularly unreal.

Dong Rui and Zhu Xiuer exchanged glances. *Huh*, the guy surnamed He actually guessed it right.

After the coup in the Yao Palace, they had discussed why the giant serpent dharma image was hiding in the Yao King's palace.

Zhu Xiuer was an ancient great demon, and Dong Rui was a demon puppet master; they unanimously agreed that it couldn't be because the previous Yao King accidentally picked up an inner core on the side of the road and could then control the giant serpent.

Neither the Yao King nor his son possessed profound cultivation; thinking they could fully control an immortal's dharma image with just an inner core was pure wishful thinking.

The giant serpent had obediently stayed under the Jade Spring Palace for decades without coming out to cause trouble; the only logical explanation was that it was purely voluntary, not forced.

Who could make it voluntarily stay in a mortal palace? There were many possibilities, but the greatest one was its true master.

He Lingchuan, having guessed correctly, still had to put on a look of surprise: "Why is that?"

Xiao Wencheng waved his hand and asked first: "What was the outcome of that battle?"

With the Immortal Venerable's dharma image entering the fray, they were naturally concerned about the result.

"Of the two avatars that descended, one died and one was heavily injured, but the giant serpent also transformed into a white bird and flew north." Dong Rui made a sound of surprise. "Logically speaking, the giant serpent should return to the Upside-Down Sea, right? How come your sect doesn't know?"

The immortals behind didn't even blink, as if they hadn't heard, and certainly had no intention of answering.

Dong Rui hadn't been treated with such contempt in a long time, and he cursed incessantly to himself.
