Fentian Valley was far away from the Central Plains and had existed for a thousand years. It guarded the southern borders all year round, preventing wild beasts from invading the Central Plains. It had an excellent reputation and was regarded as a god by the people.
When night fell, a black-robed old man walked into the forbidden area of Fentian Valley. He stood at the corner with his hands by his side and asked a young man in the forbidden area respectfully,
Valley Master, you called for me?"
The black-robed old man who spoke was called Shangguan Ce.
Shangguan Ce was the First Elder of Fentian Valley. He was in the Nascent Soul Stage and his natal magic weapon was the Nine-Turn Dark Ice Spike. It was extremely vicious and powerful.
He was highly regarded by the Valley Master, Bai Yunqing. He was in charge of the sect's discipline for a lifetime. He abhorred evil like an enemy, and was stern and cold. He was very dignified in the Fentian Valley, and the disciples were all afraid of him.
"Elder Shangguan, there are no outsiders here. You can sit down and talk.”
In the forbidden area, Bai Yunqing sat in front of the tea table and said to Shangguan Ce.
He had a head of shiny black hair without a trace of white hair. His skin was delicate and tender. No matter how one looked at him, he did not look like an old monster with profound cultivation. Instead, he looked like a young man who had not lost his innocence.
However, it was this child-like young man who made Shangguan Ce extremely respectful and loyal.
"Yes, Valley Master."
Shangguan Ce nodded respectfully and sat down slowly, listening to the Valley Master's instructions.
This was the forbidden area of Fentian Valley.
There were rows of bookshelves on the ground with jade slips. Some of the jade slips recorded cultivation techniques, while others recorded alchemy and artifact refinement techniques. There were also array formations, and so on.
"The world today is already divided into three. The immortal path, the demonic path, and the Buddhist path are the three pillars.”
"If our Fentian Valley wants to establish ourselves in this world, other than working hard to cultivate and increase our strength, we still have to rely on a hundred-year plan.”
Bai Yunqing sipped his tea as he spoke.
His voice was very calm, but it was filled with majesty and shook people's hearts.
"Valley Master is right!"
Shangguan Ce nodded and said," Looking at the current situation, the future is really worrying. Fortunately, our plan has been gradually implemented. Li Xun is looking for the Mystic Flame Mirror outside. I think there will be results soon.”
" The Mystic Fire Mirror is the essence of all fire," Bai Yunqing said leisurely." It is also the key to controlling the Sky-Burning Formation. The century-long plan of the Fentian Valley is now entirely dependent on this treasure. I only hope that Li Xun will not disappoint me."”
"Valley Master, don't worry." Shangguan Ce said," The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox has been sealed by us for many years. Her two children, Six-Tailed and Three-Tailed, were injured by my Nine-Turn Mystic Ice Spike even though they managed to escape. Li Xun has the array plate that I gave him. It's only a matter of time before he gets the Mystic Fire Mirror back.”
"That's good."
Bai Yunqing nodded.
Suddenly, just as they were talking.
Kacha!
A cracking sound came from the quiet forbidden area.
The sound was very crisp, like glass shattering, a vase shattering, or a jade pendant cracking.
"Yes!"
Bai Yunqing frowned when he heard the strange sound.
If he didn't hear wrongly, it should be a jade slip that had shattered. But why would the jade slip suddenly shatter? Could it be haunted?
"Valley Master, please continue drinking tea. I'll go take a look.”
Shangguan Ce stood up and walked to the rows of bookshelves.
"Alright."
Bai Yunqing nodded and continued to enjoy the spiritual tea.
The jade slips on these bookshelves were all protected by arrays. Unless someone touched them, they would not fall and shatter. Moreover, the jade slips were harder than marble, so it was impossible for them to shatter.
"This!"
A moment later, Shangguan Ce stood in front of a bookshelf, stunned.
The scene in front of him was too shocking. Even a Nascent Soul old monster like Shangguan Ce, who usually did not show his emotions, was surprised at this moment.
"Why are you so panicked?"
Bai Yunqing, who was drinking tea, noticed that something was wrong and immediately asked.
No one knew better than him how shrewd Shangguan Ce was. Something that could shock him like this was definitely no small matter.
"Valley Master, please take a look for yourself."
Shangguan Ce stood in front of a bookshelf.
Such a big thing had happened, it was beyond his expectations. He didn't even know how to tell Bai Yunqing.
Weng!
Bai Yunqing's figure flashed as he teleported to the front of the bookshelf.
When his gaze fell on the bookshelf and saw the shattered jade slip, his face instantly darkened. His eyes were filled with endless anger and hatred.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Looking at the broken jade slip, Bai Yunqing clenched his fists tightly as veins bulged on his forehead.
This was not an ordinary jade slip, but a natal jade slip.
To be more precise, this was Li Xun's natal jade slip and was related to his life. Once the jade slip shattered, it meant that Li Xun, who was thousands of miles away, had been killed! He died!
"Valley Master, please calm down!"
Sensing Bai Yunqing's anger, Shangguan Ce immediately tried to comfort him and suggested rationally,"
"Li Xun's natal jade slip suddenly shattered, which means that he has met with an accident. What we can do now is to investigate the murderer as soon as possible and take revenge for Li Xun! In addition, our hundred-year plan will probably have to be readjusted.”
