Chapter 1060
Chen Xuan and Zhan Xin accepted the capture mission together, and the two mission locations were only about 60,000 li apart.
For Chen Xuan, who possesses astonishing speed, this distance of 60,000 li would only take three days to travel by normal flight.
Nestled amidst towering mountains and a tranquil, secluded paradise facing the vast ocean, lies a secluded haven. Here, verdant hills rise and streams flow gently, a spiritual aura permeating every inch of the space.
In the mountain stream, clear water cascades down the steep cliff, like the Milky Way falling from the sky, with magnificent momentum. The splashing water sprays into the air, forming a layer of misty water vapor.
Bathed in the intense sunlight of the sun, vibrant rainbows appeared amidst the mist, a scene both dreamlike and enchanting. Mythical birds and beasts frolicked and played by the pool below the waterfall, their clear calls adding a touch of life to this tranquil place.
In the distance, nestled in the heart of the mountains, within a vast expanse of space, majestic and ancient palaces rise from the ground.
These palaces, weathered by countless years, possess a mottled surface yet exude a profound aura inherited from ancient times, as if silently recounting past glories, their majestic presence overwhelming.
Inside a rather small hall, two cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm were sitting cross-legged, eyes closed and focused.
Before them were rows of neatly arranged tables, on which were quietly placed wooden plaques, talismans, lamps, and pieces of paper, each seemingly containing a unique aura and exuding a mysterious charm.
"It's truly unexpected that Young Master Qu Ming would die during the God-Slaying Guard's assessment. To this day, Young Master Qu Ge probably still doesn't know about it." A man dressed in red shook his head slightly, his face full of sighs, and said with emotion.
"Because of Young Master Qu Ge, Young Master Qu Ming received treatment comparable to that of a tribe's top genius during his lifetime, and was always protected by a Nascent Soul Daoist. But unexpectedly, he ended up like this."
"Yes, after Young Master Qu Ming's life lamp went out, the clan leader was furious and immediately sent people to investigate the matter." Another short and stout cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm looked around and, seeing that no one else had come to the Life Scroll Pavilion, lowered his voice and said.
"It is said that in this God-Slaying Guardian assessment, not only did our clan's Young Master Qu Ming die, but also Tianxuan Wuyue of the Tianxuan clan."
"What?" Upon hearing this, the man in red's eyes widened in shock.
"Would I lie to you? My uncle told me this himself. There are two murderers. One is an unknown cultivator with the Daoist name Beiming, and the other is a renowned fairy, the Heart-Slaying Fairy of the Heavenly Taiqing Palace." The short, stout man's status in the tribe was clearly higher than that of the man in red beside him, and a hint of smugness unconsciously appeared on his face as he spoke.
"It's no wonder that it was Fairy Zhanxin who made the move." The red-robed cultivator slowly shook his head and sighed, "Qu Ming has always been arrogant and domineering in the tribe because of Young Master Qu Ge's power, but he never expected to fall into her hands."
“Yes, although Qu Ming is insignificant in the eyes of the tribe’s higher-ups, what can we do when he has a genius older brother who can crush his peers?” the short, stout cultivator chimed in. “Even if it weren’t for the sake of the tribe’s reputation, our tribe would definitely take action just because of Young Master Qu Ge.”
Just as the two were quietly speculating about how things would unfold, suddenly, "crack, crack, crack—" six crisp cracking sounds clearly reached their ears.
The two guards of the Life Lamp instinctively thought that a rat had sneaked into the Life Lamp Pavilion and was causing trouble. The red-robed cultivator hurriedly searched around, his eyes scanning every corner like an eagle, but he still couldn't find any trace of it.
