Chapter 1794 Mysterious and Unknown Person
The urgent message from Wangxiantai was like a bucket of ice water poured over Mingchuan's head, instantly dispelling the slight elation he had felt from winning two consecutive games.
Demonic abyss?
Su Hongzhen has already been executed, and the Evil Core has also suffered severe damage and gone into hiding. How could there be any lingering poison? And it was during the Grand Competition of Talents held in the Holy Domain?
Mingchuan's gaze swept towards Fairy Yueyao not far away, and he suddenly felt that this matter might be related to her...
It's probably not a coincidence.
He sat back down, closed his eyes and focused his mind, most of his attention was focused on the spirit communication jade talisman, and he was rapidly communicating with Jinman, who was three hundred miles away.
"What exactly happened?"
Jin Man's reply was swift and clear, tinged with unusual seriousness: "This person calls himself Han Li, a rogue cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment. He has won every battle, and his methods are unpredictable. His cultivation technique is cold and vicious, capable of eroding spiritual power and corrupting divine consciousness, somewhat similar to the Soul-Devouring Plague, but even more domineering and direct. Moreover, his fighting style is insane and bloodthirsty, unlike that of ordinary people. Ye Chuhan personally went down to test him, and although he won, his cold spiritual power invaded his meridians, and it took some effort to resolve it."
How could Ye Chuhan be injured by the spiritual power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?!
"Have you investigated its origins?" Mingchuan pressed.
"We investigated, but their origins remain a mystery. They claim to be from the edge of the Western Desert, but the details they provide don't stand up to scrutiny. More importantly..." Jin Man paused, "Lin Ruowei secretly sensed them using the Zixiao Pure Courtyard's secret technique and detected a very subtle chaotic fluctuation deep within their soul, originating from the same source as the Demon Abyss's evil core. Although it was weak and concealed by some method, it was undeniably real."
The mark of the abyss! It has actually been implanted into the soul?
Mingchuan's heart sank.
"Where is he now? How far has the competition progressed?" Mingchuan asked quickly.
"Chu Huai has temporarily calmed him down, citing the need for rest during the sparring session, and arranged for him to stay in a quiet room. The final competition has been postponed. Mu Yaoyao and Chu Huai are keeping an eye on him," Jin Man said. "However, this person's emotions are extremely unstable, and his reaction to the words 'Demon Abyss' is unusually intense. We dare not alert him."
Mingchuan's brain was working at lightning speed.
On Dengyuntai's side, having just won a round in their open and covert struggle against Yueyao, it was a crucial moment to seize the opportunity to gain more benefits and expand their influence.
Suddenly, a spy from the Demon Abyss appeared at Wangxiantai, possessing bizarre strength and unclear motives.
OK……
Fairy Yueyao is definitely planning to cause trouble.
If it really is her, then this person is far too despicable and acts in a disgusting way.
"Should we just take this guy down?" Jin Man asked again.
“No.” Mingchuan decisively rejected the idea. “First, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that he has a direct connection with the Demon Abyss. Relying solely on intuition is not convincing and could easily lead to a counterattack. Second, he appeared in the Wangxiantai Grand Competition under the watchful eyes of everyone. If we hastily take him down, it may cause panic and make the competition fizzle out, which would play right into the hands of some people. Third… I need to know who is behind him and what his purpose is.”
"Then what should we do?" Jinman asked.
"Keep him calm," Mingchuan instructed. "Treat him with the highest level of courtesy and meet all his reasonable requests. Postpone the finals and announce that due to Fellow Daoist Han Li's amazing performance, he has been granted the qualification to directly communicate with the core disciples of the five major sects and has been specially invited to Wanchuan Sect for a discussion. At the same time, have Lin Ruowei, Mu Yaoyao, and Chu Huai take turns contacting him under the guise of sparring and trying to investigate the details of the imprint deep in his soul without disturbing him, especially... whether there are any traces of being manipulated or guided by external forces."
“Okay!” Jinman replied.
“Furthermore,” Mingchuan added, “strengthen vigilance along the route between Wangxiantai and Wanchuan Sect, and secretly dispatch Jizhou to bring back some reliable personnel from Qingyuan Sect. If this person makes any unusual moves, or if anyone tries to provide support or silence him… take him down immediately, at any cost!”
"it is good!"
After cutting off communication with Jinman, Mingchuan slowly opened his eyes, a flash of silver light appearing briefly before his gaze returned to its calm and profound depth.
The exchange of thoughts just now seemed to take a long time, but in reality it only took a moment.
On the Cloud Ascent Platform, the commotion caused by Wan Chuan Sect's two consecutive victories had not yet completely subsided.
The cultivators from the Spirit Realm were triumphant and cheered; the guests from the Holy Realm and other realms, however, had different expressions and whispered among themselves.
Fairy Yueyao had already sat up straight again, her expression returning to its usual indifferent and aloof state, as if the defeat just now had not had much of an impact on her.
However, the coldness and probing in her gaze toward Mingchuan grew even stronger.
"Sect Master Ming," Fairy Yueyao spoke again, her voice revealing neither joy nor anger, "your sect's disciples are indeed extraordinary. Two consecutive victories, the prize should belong to Wanchuan Sect. A steward will present it later."
"Thank you, fairy." Mingchuan bowed slightly.
"However," Fairy Yueyao changed the subject, "the grand event is not over yet, and the sparring has not been fully enjoyed. In the last two rounds, it was your sect that fought. As the host, how can my Longyin Temple only defend and not attack? In this third round, why don't we have my Longyin Temple ask the Wanchuan Sect for some pointers?"
Her tone was deceptive, though seemingly conciliatory.
coming.
Mingchuan sneered in his heart.
Having lost two games in a row, she lost face and even more valuable treasure. How could Yueyao let this go? She was determined to get revenge, and it would be a thunderous strike!
"You flatter me, Fairy." Mingchuan's expression remained unchanged. "Sparring is just for fun, and should stop when the point is reached. However, my disciples have fought two matches and are both exhausted, needing some time to recover. Perhaps... for this third match, I should personally seek guidance from the masters of Longyin Temple?"
He actually volunteered to participate himself!
The entire room fell silent once again!
The people of Lingyu were all eager to see how Mingchuan would beat a dog when it was down.
The group from the Holy Domain, however, immediately tensed up.
Although they are superior to the Spirit Realm, the development of Mingchuan is something they can never figure out, which is very dangerous.
If someone from the Dragon Roar Temple could test this person, they would surely be able to see his true colors!
Fairy Yueyao narrowed her eyes slightly: "Oh? Sect Master Ming is willing to take action personally? That is certainly something to be desired. However... Sect Master's injuries have just healed. If anything were to happen to him because of this, wouldn't it be a failure of my Dragon Roar Temple to entertain him properly?"
"It's nothing." Mingchuan stood up, his black robe fluttering even without wind. "Just stretching my muscles. I wonder which expert Longyin Temple will send to offer guidance?"
He spoke casually, as if he were really just stretching his muscles.
But everyone knew that the third game was the real highlight!
Fairy Yueyao will definitely send out the true elites of Longyin Temple, or even hidden powerhouses, in an effort to achieve a decisive victory and completely reverse the decline!
Mingchuan, having just recovered from serious injuries, possesses profound spatial abilities, but facing a carefully prepared opponent from the Holy Domain Dragon Roar Temple, the outcome is uncertain!
Fairy Yueyao pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled. Her smile was like ice thawing and spring returning to the earth, breathtakingly beautiful, yet it also set off alarm bells in Mingchuan's heart.
"Sect Master Ming's heroic spirit is truly admirable." Fairy Yueyao said softly, "In that case... let me, Yue Wuhen, the Palace Master of the Moon Soul Hall of the Dragon Roar Temple, ask Sect Master Ming for guidance."
Moonless?
The refined-looking foreign affairs steward who just delivered the invitation?
