Chapter 1322
by“Ai. In fact, the old bastard Qian Tong is not the kind of person who likes to fight with others. It’s just that the Red Candle Fruit Meat is of great significance. If it can really help him advance to the Void King Realm, then my Shadow Moon Palace will become the number one force on the Dark Star. Even the Star Emperor Mountain cannot compare with my Shadow Moon Palace. Although this hope is very slim, it is still a hope after all. The old bastard Qian will think like this, and Feng Zhen will naturally think so too. In this way, the conflict broke out. The internal situation of the Shadow Moon Palace is now like a storm is about to come, and it is in chaos.” Fei Zhitu said with some distress, “If this matter is not handled properly, my Shadow Moon Palace will be seriously injured at the least, and it is not impossible to perish at the worst！”
“So serious？” Yang Kai’s face changed slightly.
“The elders and managers of the two factions of Qian Tong and Feng Zhen have had a long-standing grudge. They have always been suppressed by the Palace Master, so there has been no major chaos. But this time, the Palace Master is also powerless. In fact, if the Palace Master were not too old, it would be most suitable for him to take the Red Candle Fruit Meat. It’s just that the Palace Master is reluctant to waste the medicinal effect of the Red Candle Fruit Meat, so he didn’t use it. If there is really an internal war in my Shadow Moon Palace, hehe, kid, do you understand what it means that there are no eggs under the overturned nest?
The corner of Yang Kai’s eye twitched. How could he not understand what Fei Zhitu wanted to say？ If the Shadow Moon Palace really fell apart, then Dragon Cave Mountain would bear the brunt. After all, Dragon Cave Mountain was still within the territory of the Shadow Moon Palace. What would happen when that time came, no one could say for sure.
But very quickly, Yang Kai’s expression became indifferent. He stared at Fei Zhitu and said, “Senior doesn’t need to say such terrifying things. The kid just wants to know now, which faction are you from？”
“Me？” Fei Zhitu raised his brows and couldn’t help but laugh loudly. He slowly said, “This city lord precisely because he was tired of scheming against others, that’s why he asked the Palace Master to send him to Tianyun City to be the lord of this city. Which faction do you think I am from？”
Yang Kai nodded slightly and said with a faint smile, “I heard that senior’s words are full of concern and worry for Elder Qian. I thought you were in the same group as Elder Qian.”
“Bullshit！ That old bastard Qian Tong…” Fei Zhitu snorted coldly. It seemed that he wanted to scold something, but after saying half of it, he didn’t continue. He waved his hand and said, “Forget it. Anyway, I owed Qian Tong a not small favor before, so this time I want to return it to him！”
“What does this have to do with me？” Yang Kai couldn’t help but frown. “Why did senior call the junior here in the middle of the night？”
Fei Zhitu stared at Yang Kai, his face solemn, and said, “Qian Tong is in trouble！”
Yang Kai’s eyes shrank.
“You don’t seem like an ungrateful person. Your Dragon Cave Mountain has been able to develop steadily in recent years, and Qian Tong can be regarded as having made great contributions. Don’t think that he didn’t take care of you. If it weren’t for him sitting in Tianyun City, you would probably have been eaten until there was not even a bone left. A few young people don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth and actually learn from others to occupy the mountain as king. Humph, it’s really confusing.
“Let’s not mention the matter of our Dragon Cave Mountain for the time being. City Lord Fei, you’d better tell me about Elder Qian. If there is anything I can really help with, I will naturally not refuse.” Yang Kai said indifferently. There are some things that don’t need to be reminded by others, and he also knows it well. The reason why Dragon Cave Mountain has been so stable in recent years is indeed mostly due to Qian Tong’s care. However, when it was said by Fei Zhitu like this, he was still a little unhappy, and his tone immediately cooled down.
Fei Zhitu didn’t seem to mind either and said, “What I’m going to tell you next, not many people know. This matter is of great importance and must not be leaked out.”
After admonishing Yang Kai for a while, he immediately began to speak in detail.
After listening to Fei Zhitu’s explanation, Yang Kai finally learned that Qian Tong had been missing for nearly half a year. Calculating the time, it was almost when he and Yang Yan set off for the Glazed Sect that Qian Tong had disappeared.
As for where he has gone, there are different opinions. Some say he is in a life-and-death seclusion to comprehend secret techniques. Others say he went out to seek opportunities and encountered misfortune. There are even those who say that he doesn’t want the Shadow Moon Palace to fall apart, so he has gone into hiding.
But no matter which statement it is, no one can confirm it.
However, at a time when the Shadow Moon Palace is precarious and the disputes within the palace are in full swing, his disappearance is really puzzling. It is precisely because he disappeared at such a critical juncture that the Feng Zhen faction has become more and more audacious. Now in the Shadow Moon Palace, although there are still several elders who can join forces to contend with Feng Zhen, without a key figure like Qian Tong, they have already fallen into a disadvantageous position.
If Qian Tong doesn’t come back within a certain period of time, the consequences will definitely be disastrous.
And this time, Ma Xinyuan and others joined forces with the Xie family to deal with Dragon Cave Mountain, which is also the last test of the Feng Zhen action against Qian Tong, to see if he is really hiding and take the opportunity to deal with Dragon Cave Mountain to force him to show up. Although a Void Return Stage the cultivator of the Xie family died in the test result, it should be very satisfying for the Feng Zhenfaction.
Qian Tong didn’t show up from beginning to end, which is enough to show that something must have happened to him and he has no time to spare.
Once this result is passed back, presumably the Feng Zhen faction will definitely have a big move.
“Then where is Elder Qian now？” Yang Kai asked with a frown.
“In an ancient ruin！” Fei Zhitu replied in a deep voice.
“Ancient ruin！” Yang Kai’s eyes lit up.
“That’s right, but whether he’s alive or dead, I don’t know.” Fei Zhitu sighed softly. “The last time I received his message was half a month ago. He used this thing to convey the message.”
As he spoke, Fei Zhitu flicked his finger, and a milky white light spot suddenly emerged from the tip of his finger and flew directly towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai reached out his hand and directly caught the milky white light spot in the palm of his hand. Looking closely, he couldn’t help but marvel, because this milky white light spot was actually a kind of bug like a snow silkworm, only one inch long, with a white and round body, and the tiny blood vessels inside could be faintly seen.
But when Yang Kai swept his spiritual sense across the body of this strange bug, a message suddenly came out from the inside and went straight to Yang Kai’s mind.
Yang Kai’s expression changed in surprise, and he quickly calmed down and listened quietly.
That message was indeed left by Qian Tong in the body of this bug. Through perception, Yang Kai immediately understood Qian Tong’s situation.
Indeed, as Fei Zhitu said, Qian Tong was trapped in an ancient ruin and couldn’t get out. He had no choice but to let this bug bring his distress message to Tianyun City and ask Fei Zhitu for help.
This insect is called a Resting Insect. It is one of the ancient xenopies. It doesn’t have much use, only suitable for sending messages. Because it can ignore all barriers and restrictions, it is very convenient to use. And although it looks bloated, it is extremely fast when it moves.” Fei Zhitu explained after Yang Kai finished his exploration.
Yang Kai nodded slightly, a hint of solemnity flashing across his face, and returned the Resting Insect to Fei Zhitu.
Judging from the exploration just now, Qian Tong’s condition is not optimistic. The message left in the Resting Insect seems to have been left after being injured. After such a long time, I don’t know how he is doing.
“City Lord Fei, may I ask, why did Elder Qian go to explore the ancient ruins at such a critical moment? Yang Kai asked puzzled.
Fei Zhitu snorted coldly： “How would I know what he was thinking？”
After a pause, he continued, “But I guess he doesn’t want the conflict within the Shadowmoon Palace to really break out, so he wants to find a new balance point to stabilize the current situation. You know, he had a very good personal relationship with Master Grimm before. With the prestige and connections of Master Grimm, he was able to completely suppress that Feng Zhen. But now that Master Grimm has passed away, and on the other side, there is still a Void Grade Alchemist. Naturally, the balance no longer exists. That ancient ruin was discovered by Master Grimm before, and the reason why the master was able to become a Void Grade Artifact Refiner was also thanks to that ruin. Qian Tong went to explore the ruin at this time, nothing more than hoping that another person could take this opportunity to break through his own bottleneck and reach the level of a Void Grade Artifact Refiner. Once that person successfully reaches the level of a Void Grade Artifact Refiner, then the initiative will once again be in Qian Tong’s hands. Oh, I forgot to tell you, Qian Tong also brought a person with him. That person is a Saint King Grade Artifact Refiner and can be regarded as the successor of Master Grimm.”
“Then Elder Qian can be regarded as having painstaking efforts.” A hint of admiration couldn’t help but emerge on Yang Kai’s face.
“Youdaoplaceholder0 efforts?” Fei Zhitu sneered and said disdain, “I think he is full and has nothing better to do. Originally, with his means and connections, as long as he is ruthless, even without Master Grimm, he can completely make that Feng Zhen unable to live or die. But he deliberately chooses to take a long way around and explore some ancient ruin. Isn’t this just full?
Yang Kai chuckled and said, “It seems that City Lord Fei and Elder Qian have a very good relationship.”
“The relationship between this city lord and him doesn’t need your evaluation！” Fei Zhitu’s face turned cold. “The reason I called you here this time is to ask you to help me fish Qian Tong out of that ancient ruin, lest he really die of old age in there.”
“What virtue and ability does this junior have to be able to help in this matter? Please, City Lord Fei, make your words clearer. Since that ancient ruin can trap Qian Tong, with my meager cultivation base running in there, wouldn’t it be courting death?”
“You are quite cautious. Alright, then this city lord will make it clear, otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t feel at ease. It’s not your strength that I fancy. You are indeed extraordinary. A mere Saint King Third-Order Realm can actually deal with among so many Void Returning experts. However, it’s also because of relying on external forces. Most likely, you also relied on the power of the secret treasure and that to take that blow from me With your strength going in there will indeed only be a hindrance. However… your spirit is not bad. I want to borrow its power.
Yang Kai pouted. Only then did he understand why Fei Zhitu specifically called him here late at night. It turned out that he only fancied the spirit.
“In that ancient ruin, there is an ice path, which is extremely dangerous. Your spirit doesn’t seem to have been born from ordinary flames. Even my Blue Jade Bowl can’t refine its flames. If it opens the way, this city lord can lead people to easily pass through that ice path.”
