Chapter 2365: Trying to Fish in Troubled Waters

Hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, Huang Lao fell silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"You don't need to worry about this matter; just remember one thing: there's nothing going on lately, so it's best not to go out."

Saying this, his voice paused slightly, then he added another sentence.

"This is a good opportunity; quickly break through the Ancient Immortal Realm."

Ye Zhangqing and the other two have now reached perfect cultivation in the Immortal Venerable Realm and can begin to assault the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Although it's a breakthrough of a major realm, given Ye Zhangqing and the other two's talent, it shouldn't be difficult; as long as they accumulate enough, it's almost a matter of course.

Now He Yingqin seems to have gone mad; this is also a good opportunity to let Ye Zhangqing and the others calm down and properly assault the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Huang Lao didn't want to say more about this, so Ye Zhangqing didn't continue to ask.

However, he had some suspicions in his heart and felt it was likely correct.

After all, how many people in the entire Immortal Realm could slaughter an immortal city?

If we don't count the Heavenly Palace, there are fewer than two.

Moreover, as the guardian of the Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Palace shouldn't be committing such slaughter of an immortal city.

In that case, the number of suspects would be even smaller.

However, even though he had some suspicions, Ye Zhangqing didn't expose them, after all this matter was beyond their abilities.

Even if he exposed it, what could he do?

Ye Zhangqing knows when to advance and retreat; this is not easy. Huang Lao, without further words, piloted the immortal boat and headed straight for Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng.

On the other side, the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Miao Cuihua also rushed straight to the White Maple Immortal Valley.

Actually, the incident at the White Maple Immortal Valley has a greater impact than that of the Green Pine Immortal City.

If it had happened at another time, the destruction of the White Maple Immortal Valley would not have caused such a commotion.

However, the Green Pine Immortal City had just been slaughtered, and only a few days later the White Maple Immortal Valley was also slaughtered, forcing people to link the two incidents.

After all, how could there be such a coincidence in this world?

At this time, all the major immortal sects and immortal races around the White Maple Immortal Valley were already feeling insecure.

The Protecting Sect Grand Formation was also kept open at all times without regard to cost.

Even so, they still lacked confidence.

First the Green Pine Immortal City, then the White Maple Immortal Valley—who knows when it will be their turn?

These people are utterly ruthless; whenever they strike, they leave no chickens or dogs alive, and are extremely vicious.

The Heavenly Family Ancestor and his companion have seen many sects' Protecting Sect Grand Formations fully activated along the way.

His face looked grim, and he sighed helplessly.

"The Immortal Realm is truly in chaos; what exactly does that old thing want to do?"

Miao Cuihua replied lightly.

"Let's first go to the White Maple Immortal Valley to see; talking about this now is useless."

Right now the two of them are just anxiously waiting here, which isn't very meaningful; everything will have to wait until they reach the White Maple Immortal Valley.

At least they need to confirm whether these two incidents were caused by the same person.

Hearing this, the Heavenly Family Ancestor nodded silently, having nothing more to say; that's all he could do.

The two traveled quickly; across ten thousand li, in just a few Shíchén, they had already arrived.

At this time, many people had gathered in the White Maple Immortal Valley, all from the major powers nearby.

They came here naturally to find some clues, to know who destroyed the White Maple Immortal Valley, so they could feel at ease.

The Heavenly Family Ancestor and Miao Cuihua appeared, this time without hiding their appearances.

Consequently, they were immediately recognized; upon seeing the Heavenly Family Ancestor and his companion appear, all the cultivators present were startled, then hurriedly offered respectful salutations.

The appearance of the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Miao Cuihua here was, for them, naturally good news.

At least it calmed the minds of many; with two Present Era's Strongest arriving, even without saying more, they could likely deter the mastermind behind this.

Even if the mastermind is reckless, would he really dare to act again in front of two Present Era's Strongest?

Faced with the respectful salutations of many cultivators, the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Miao Cuihua showed little change in expression.

After a slight nod, he had everyone retreat, so as not to destroy any clues possibly left at the scene.

Although the crowd was somewhat reluctant, since they hadn't seen the desired outcome with their own eyes, they still felt uneasy.

But because it was the order of the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Miao Cuihua, nobody dared to oppose, so they ultimately withdrew obediently.

After driving the crowd away, the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Miao Cuihua began to investigate inside the White Maple Immortal Valley.

Merely upon entering the White Maple Immortal Valley, the two sensed something was wrong.

The remaining broken walls and ruins were completely different from those of the Green Pine Immortal City, with a great difference.

First, the ruins of the White Maple Immortal Valley look more like they were formed after being wildly bombarded by cultivators.

Unlike the Green Pine Immortal City, which was entirely reduced to nothingness, leaving not even a trace of debris.

However, the situation in the White Maple Immortal Valley is completely different; ruins of buildings can be seen everywhere.

Although the disciples and elders of the White Maple Immortal Valley have also vanished, as if they had been forcibly refined, the two scenes are fundamentally not the same.

Besides that, there is no white mist on the ruins of the White Maple Immortal Valley.

On the ground of the Green Pine Immortal City, the white mist has been continuously spreading, never ceasing.

But the White Maple Immortal Valley lacks this white mist; it merely suffered a great fire.

The possibilities for this fire are many; it would be normal for someone to have set it deliberately.

Therefore, as soon as the two entered the White Maple Immortal Valley, they frowned; after walking around, they could finally determine that the White Maple Immortal Valley and the Green Pine Immortal City were definitely not the work of the same group.

Because within the White Maple Immortal Valley, there was not even a trace of the aura left by the Blood Refining Grand Formation.

The White Maple Immortal Valley was not destroyed by the Blood Refining Grand Formation refining its inhabitants; the one who destroyed the White Maple Immortal Valley does not know the Blood Refining Grand Formation.

It's eighty percent likely they found out about the Green Pine Immortal City incident, knew its impact on the Immortal Realm, then, for some other ulterior motive, wanted to fish in troubled waters, and so they moved to destroy White Maple Immortal Valley.

Surely, the impact of the Green Pine Immortal City incident on the Immortal Realm is far more complicated than it appears on the surface.

Once this matter came to light, it quickly caused some people to develop different thoughts.

After all, in the Immortal Realm, the grudges and entanglements among the major powers are so tangled they cannot be sorted out; in peaceful times, because of various considerations, everyone is relatively restrained and dare not act overly excessively.

But with the emergence of the Green Pine Immortal City incident, the situation became different.

Anyway, after taking action, they could also push the blame onto the group that destroyed Green Pine Immortal City.

Having a scapegoat and being able to settle a grudge that has lasted many years— isn't that killing two birds with one stone? Why not do it?

But doing this left the Heavenly Family's Old Ancestor and Miao Cuihua feeling very dissatisfied in their hearts.
