Chapter 300: Divining Again

~11 min read 2,153 words

After the group brought the Ice Coffin back to Shuiyue Dongtian, they buried Xuan Zhanglao in the ancestral grounds of the Tong Clan, letting Xuan Zhanglao rest in peace alongside their ancestors.

In the Ci Tang, the group stood before the newly added spirit tablet of Xuan Zhanglao and bowed silently.

The Six Great Elders, having received the news, had also arrived at the Ci Tang with the Spirit Mirror.

Tong Zhan told the Six Great Elders about their discovery beneath Hell Valley.

The Six Great Elders were also very shocked after hearing this; they had not expected that Xuan Zhanglao, who had been missing for so long, was actually beneath Hell Valley.

Moreover, living with him was a mysterious person with high-level martial arts.

At this moment, Tong Zhan had already begun to cast a Dharma seal to make the Spirit Mirror manifest images.

"Spirit Mirror, I command you in the capacity of the Tong Clan Leader: quickly manifest who it was that Xuan Zhanglao lived with beneath Hell Valley all these years.

Who was it that cast magic upon the Ice Coffin containing Xuan Zhanglao?

Furthermore, who erected the stone tablet for Xuan Zhanglao?

Spirit Mirror, manifest quickly!"

Tong Zhan shouted, and the Six Great Elders simultaneously cast Dharma seals toward the Spirit Mirror with their hands.

With the seven of them working together, the Spirit Mirror began to manifest images.

The first scene to appear was the young Yin Zhong placing the young Yin Feng into the Ice Coffin, then casting spells over it for a while, and finally, Yin Zhong leaving.

After seeing this scene, Tong Zhan and the others were incomparably shocked; Dou Dou murmured:

"I never imagined Yin Zhong actually had a daughter; this Ice Coffin was made by Yin Zhong for his daughter.

Then why is it that Xuan Zhanglao is the one lying in this Ice Coffin now, and where did Yin Zhong's daughter go?"

No sooner had Dou Dou finished speaking than the Spirit Mirror began to manifest another scene.

Because of a great flood, an old man discovered an Ice Coffin washed up in a cave.

After the old man opened the Ice Coffin, he found a little girl opening her eyes and smiling at him.

Yinxiu pointed at the old man and said:

"This is Grandpa Xuan."

After hearing this, Tong Zhan said:

"This then explains that the person who lived with Xuan Zhanglao beneath Hell Valley before was Yin Zhong's daughter, Yin Feng.

Then who was the person who was with them later?"

After Tong Zhan finished speaking, the group began to look at the Spirit Mirror again, expecting the Spirit Mirror to provide the answer they wanted.

At this moment, Duan Fengyun, who was still at home teasing Xiao Duantian, suddenly frowned; in the dark, he felt someone was divining him.

There was no need to think; it was definitely that group of people with Tong Zhan using the Spirit Mirror to divine him again, and he certainly would not let Tong Zhan and the others get their wish.

"Tian'er, you play here by yourself for a moment; Daddy is going out for a walk.

I will come back to play with you in a bit!"

"Okay, Daddy!"

Duan Fengyun put down Xiao Duantian and walked alone to the place where the Xuanyuan Sword was kept, using his mind to control the Xuanyuan Sword and having the Xuanyuan Sword block this wave of divination for him.

When the Xuanyuan Sword sensed Duan Fengyun's mind, it began to emit faint rays of light, and its master-protection mode was activated.

At this moment, the Spirit Mirror in Shuiyue Dongtian was manifesting Xuan Zhanglao speaking to a man and a woman in front of him, but there was no sound, nor was there an image of the man and woman opposite him, and then the Spirit Mirror suddenly lost its image.

Seeing this, Tong Zhan cast a Dharma seal again and said:

"Spirit Mirror, manifest quickly! I want to know who the person living with Xuan Zhanglao beneath Hell Valley is!

Spirit Mirror, I command you to manifest quickly!"

But the Spirit Mirror was currently confronting the Xuanyuan Sword from across the air; the old grudge had not yet been avenged, and now that the enemy had appeared again, how could the Spirit Mirror easily give up?

Yet in the end, the Spirit Mirror still lost the battle and tumbled onto the ground with a thud.

Seeing this scene, the Six Great Elders said in surprise:

"How could this happen?

Why would the Spirit Mirror fall for no reason, and why does it stop manifesting at the critical moment?"

Tong Zhan spoke up:

"Do not forget, five years ago, the Spirit Mirror also had this happen."

Tong Xin understood what Tong Zhan meant, and he said:

"Second Brother, do you mean that the man and woman beneath Hell Valley might be the same person who killed Zhao Yun?"

Tong Zhan nodded and said:

"It is very likely. Aside from the matter with Zhao Yun before, the Spirit Mirror has never had a situation like today's.

It must be that person who discovered the Spirit Mirror was divining him, so he blocked the Spirit Mirror from afar.

Looking at it this way, this person's strength is extraordinary."

Tong Xin nodded and said:

"That is true. As soon as the Spirit Mirror is about to show this person, it instantly falls to the ground.

This person is like some kind of taboo, making the Spirit Mirror afraid to divine him.

But since this person could live with Xuan Zhanglao, that means this person should not be a bad person.

Then why would he take action to kill Zhao Yun?"

Tong Zhan suddenly thought of something and said:

"Think about it, these two people left Hell Valley more than five years ago, and Zhao Yun was also killed more than five years ago.

Do you think it could be that when these two people had just walked out of Hell Valley, they ran into Zhao Yun, who had arrived?

Then Zhao Yun wanted these two people to lead the way for her, and it was impossible for these two people to agree, so the two sides fought, and in the end, Zhao Yun was killed by them!"

Tong Zhan considered the two matters together and stated his guess.

Yin Tianxue shook her head and said:

"Tong Zhan, you must not forget that when we saw Zhao Yun back then, she was barely clothed, which means she must have suffered some kind of humiliation at that time.

So I don't think the two people who left Hell Valley could have encountered Zhao Yun while they were leaving Hell Valley.

Because to humiliate another woman in front of a woman, that is something an ordinary person could never do."

Tong Xin also spoke up:

"I agree with Sister-in-law Tianxue's idea; I also feel that these two matters are not that simple."

"Sigh, I originally thought we could solve a mystery from five years ago, but I didn't expect to still be completely in the dark!"

Tong Zhan sighed.

Yin Tianxue patted Tong Zhan on the shoulder and said:

"Since we now know that the person who took action is not a bad person.

Then we don't need to be too deliberate in guarding against him."

Tong Zhan thought about it and it was indeed so; previously they were all worried about whether the person who attacked Zhao Yun would attack them.

But five years have passed, and this person has not taken action again, and through the matter of Xuan Zhanglao, it shows that this person is not a bad person.

Then this person should only have attacked Zhao Yun for some reason.

Having figured it out, the look of Sorrowful Clouds Miserable Pale on Tong Zhan's face finally improved quite a bit.

And Duan Fengyun, feeling that the divination against him had been withdrawn, also withdrew his focus from the Xuanyuan Sword.

He sneered:

"Are these people like Tong Zhan eating too much and finding nothing to do?

Why are they using the Spirit Mirror to divine me for no reason!

Isn't this asking for trouble for the Spirit Mirror? That little mirror of theirs could never be a match for my Xuanyuan Sword."

However, Duan Fengyun is also very puzzled now; why are Tong Zhan and the others divining again for no reason? Could it be that they discovered something?

But now that his cultivation has completely returned, Duan Fengyun has not the slightest bit of fear; just break force with force, and meet soldiers with soldiers and water with earth.

After Duan Fengyun smiled, he turned around and walked back to the room to play with Xiao Duantian.

Time passed in the blink of an eye for half a month; these half a month were calm and peaceful, and nothing happened.

Tong Zhan and Tong Xin spent every day in Shuiyue Dongtian trying every possible way to teach Tong Bo and help Tong Bo recall his memories.

And their efforts were not in vain; with the help of the two of them, Tong Bo had already relearned many things and remembered many things as well.

And Yin Zhong, who relied on his Demon God divine body within the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop, saw his sword casting skills constantly improving, and the relationship between him and Men Jianqiu also warmed up as time passed.

As for Duan Fengyun's side, life was quite comfortable; he had completely handed over the Ririsheng Guild to Wu Tong to manage.

The current Wu Tong no longer had that previous scholarly appearance; due to long-term socializing, he had already become pot-bellied, and he was becoming more and more shrewd.

As the salary Duan Fengyun paid him became higher and higher, Wu Tong became more and more devoted to Duan Fengyun.

Moreover, his wife was also introduced to him by a matchmaker found by Duan Fengyun; now that he has settled down and started a career, the couple is working diligently and conscientiously at the Ririsheng Guild.

Wu Tong is a person who knows how to repay kindness, so he has never considered betraying Duan Fengyun; he has always kept Duan Fengyun's kindness to him in his heart.

And this is also the reason why Duan Fengyun can safely and boldly hand over the Ririsheng Guild to him to look after.

To Duan Fengyun, the Ririsheng Guild was just something he created on a whim in this world; after he leaves, won't this Ririsheng Guild belong to Wu Tong anyway?

As long as Wu Tong has no heart of betrayal toward him, what harm is there in him gifting Wu Tong a fortune?

Of course, during this half month, Duan Fengyun did not visit the Men Family Sword Casting Workshop any less; he had to keep track of how Yin Zhong's sword casting level was doing and when the Nether Sword would be born.

Seeing Yin Zhong's increasingly refined sword casting skills, as well as the growing relationship between Yin Zhong and Men Jianqiu, Duan Fengyun smiled; it seems the good show is about to begin.

And Yueya, who was holding Xiao Duantian, looked into the distance in deep thought; Duan Fengyun knew what day it was today—the death anniversary of Xuan Zhanglao!

Duan Fengyun touched Yueya's head and said:

"Today is Grandpa Xuan's death anniversary; do you miss him very much!"

Yueya nodded and said:

"Yes, Grandpa Xuan has already left me for five years.

I miss him so much; I wonder how he is doing down there?

Brother Qin, why don't we go to Hell Valley to see him!"

Duan Fengyun thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Yueya's request.

Yueya turned to the Xiao Duantian in her arms and said:

"Tian'er, Daddy and Mommy are going out for a while; play with the nannies later, and remember to be obedient."

Duantian nodded sensibly, jumped down directly from Yueya's arms, and ran off to find the nannies.

Duan Fengyun and Yueya, the couple, changed their clothes, bought incense, candles, paper money, and offerings at the market, and then drove their horses toward Hell Valley.

This is the first time in five years that Duan Fengyun has brought Yueya to Hell Valley.

After the two tied up their horses, they came to the edge of the cliff at Hell Valley.

Duan Fengyun pointed to the bottom of the cliff and said:

"Yueya, haven't you always wanted to use the Dragon God Skill?

Let us fly down using the Dragon God Skill now, and let you experience the feeling of the Dragon Soaring Ten Thousand Miles."

After speaking, Duan Fengyun turned directly into a golden dragon shadow and flew down the cliff.

And Yueya, seeing this, smiled and turned into a pink dragon shadow to chase after Duan Fengyun.
