True Person Duanyue put his mask back on and turned to clasp his fists toward the swordsman,

“Fellow Daoist Ximen, an old friend has come to visit today, so I can only excuse myself for a while.”

The swordsman was quite open-minded and laughed heartily,

“As expected of an old acquaintance of the Immortal Venerable. To have already entered the Innate Realm at such an age. Once the two of you finish catching up, you must introduce him to me. I won’t disturb you, then.”

After saying that, his figure flashed, and he had already drifted toward the guest rooms of the Daoist temple, without asking even half an unnecessary question.

“This man is a Grandmaster of this world, the Six-Fingered Sword Maniac, Ximen Wuque.” True Person Duanyue turned back around, but his tone had already become urgent,

“Let’s not talk about him first. Long Tao! Why are you in the Dragon-Taboo Realm? I remember during the Grand Competition a year ago…… you were abducted by that unknown existence, and I was there at the time. Later, although I heard True Lord Luohong say that there had been a problem with the sect’s Formation and that you yourself had reappeared…… the matter probably wasn’t that simple, was it?”

Long Tao could only scratch the back of his head and roughly explain what had happened when he and True Person Mingzhu were trapped inside that bizarre Game Board World. Of course…… he definitely did not mention the matter of the two of them having children.

“So that’s what happened…… no wonder the True Lord concealed it. It really does involve internal sect matters. But…… Mingzhu actually reached the Nascent Soul Stage? I’ve only been in this world for a year, yet I actually missed something this major?!”

“True Person, this disciple has an extremely important matter to report.” Long Tao lowered his voice, “Could we…… find somewhere that isn’t easy to eavesdrop on?”

Although he felt Long Tao was being somewhat overly cautious, aside from the Six-Fingered Sword Maniac just now, everyone else here was merely a Menial Disciple recruited by the sect in this world. Who could possibly eavesdrop on them? Even so, True Person Duanyue still led him into a Quiet Chamber.

“No one can eavesdrop here. We can have a proper talk now.”

“Then this disciple will boldly ask first. True Person, I heard the Teleportation Array between the sect and this world has already been destroyed. How did you get here?”

True Person Duanyue had not expected him to strike directly at the key issue with his first question. His expression tightened, and only after pondering for a moment did he answer,

“About a year ago, not long after the Grand Competition where you were abducted, the sect detected something abnormal with the Soul Lamp of the disciple stationed in this world. His life was in grave danger. Just as the sect was preparing to send someone over to investigate…… we discovered that the Teleportation Array’s anchoring had been severed.”

After the Grand Competition? In other words, it was only after Jiang Wuyun Ascended that the problem erupted.

“Because True Lord Ningxu, who discovered this Small World, was in seclusion undergoing the Decline of the Primordial Spirit, the sect could only send me over to take a look and repair the Teleportation Array while I was at it.”

“Why…… did it have to be you?”

Long Tao felt that given the level and rank of this world, the sect should at most have sent a few Late Foundation Establishment disciples, someone like Fang Wuqi, for example. Sending a Golden Core cultivator here would not only be overkill, their cultivation would also be suppressed to the Foundation Establishment level. If something happened, the losses would outweigh the gains.

“Well……” True Person Duanyue gave a bitter smile, “Once the Teleportation Array was severed, trying to relocate this world within the void would be difficult. Even True Lord Ningxu himself might not be able to find it again quickly. The only two things that could still connect the two worlds were the Nether River and the Ruins of Return.”

He shook his head, his tone carrying a trace of self-mockery,

“There’s no need to talk about the Nether River. Our sect isn’t skilled in that area, so the only option was to take the waterways of the Ruins of Return. Back when this world was first discovered, I heard that Martial Dao flourished here. At the time, I also liked looking for trouble when there was none, and insisted on showing off by trying to swim here through the Ruins of Return. As a result, I became the only person in the sect who knew this water route.”

“The…… Ruins of Return!? This…… even for a Golden Core cultivator like you…… traveling through a place like that would still mean almost certain death, wouldn’t it!”

Long Tao’s scalp went numb from hearing this.

All waters of the Myriad Worlds ultimately flowed into the Ruins of Return. In theory, one could indeed travel through there to any world among the Myriad Worlds that contained water, but what normal person would treat a place like that as a road?! If one encountered the violent currents and chaotic whirlpools inside, even a Golden Core cultivator’s body could be torn apart. This was not a joke.

“Sigh…… let’s not talk about it, let’s not talk about it. Anyway…… with my abilities, I could barely make it through. If it had been another Golden Core cultivator, then yes, it really would have been almost certain death. Alright…… I’ve finished explaining my side. Shouldn’t you tell me about yours now? Mingzhu went back, so why did you appear here?”

Long Tao straightened his expression, his face becoming more serious than ever before.

“True Person, what this disciple is about to say may sound somewhat unbelievable, but please make sure you believe me and allow me to finish first.”

“Alright! No matter how bizarre it sounds, I’ll wait until you finish before making any judgment.”

And so Long Tao took several deep breaths and told him, one by one, everything he had investigated since the Old Weaver of Destiny sent him here. Of course…… he temporarily concealed the matter of Saintess Yaxi’s avatar. A Saintess from another sect privately entering a Small World under his own sect’s jurisdiction would also become troublesome if investigated seriously. If it truly could not be hidden later, he would take responsibility for it himself.

After he finished explaining everything, True Person Duanyue remained silent for a long time, merely sitting there quietly as though digesting the overwhelming amount of information.

“I roughly understand.” After a long while, the True Person slowly spoke, “If everything you said is true…… then what has happened in this world has long since exceeded the sect’s original expectations. Especially those seven Divine Swords. We truly never paid much attention to them before, merely treating them as Spirit Artifacts or Magical Artifacts left behind in this world long ago.”

Then he suddenly sighed,

“However…… what I’m currently concerned about is that beggar you encountered in Sword-Humming City. What do you think his identity was?”

Long Tao had originally thought the True Person would care more about the traitor or the Divine Swords, but since he had been asked, he answered honestly,

“My guess…… is that he should have been the other disciple stationed here. He didn’t die at the time, but instead hid in the city under the identity of a beggar.”

“Correct. Judging from the clues you investigated, that should be the case.” True Person Duanyue nodded, “Why he gave you that note can be set aside for now. After all, your appearance itself was an unforeseen variable no one could have predicted. But…… I’ve been in this world for a year. Why has he never come to find me?”

“This…… he didn’t dare? Because he wasn’t sure of your identity? No…… the newly appeared Immortal Venerable was his greatest hope. No matter what, he should have come to find you.”

As Long Tao carefully followed that line of thought, his heart suddenly tightened,

“Right! Because…… that ‘evil Immortal Venerable’ definitely has informants stationed around Nine-Xia Mountain. The moment he appears, he’ll be discovered?”

“Exactly.” True Person Duanyue’s gaze darkened slightly, “If that traitor truly harmed a fellow sect member for the sake of the Divine Swords or some other scheme, then even if he destroyed the Teleportation Array in advance, he would definitely have left other contingencies. If the sect truly had some other way to send someone over again, someone like me, for example, he would certainly find a way to prevent the newly arrived person from understanding the real situation. In fact…… he truly succeeded. If you hadn’t appeared today, I would still be completely in the dark even now.”

As he spoke, Spiritual Light had already faintly appeared in the True Person’s palm, while his gaze shifted toward one of the walls,

“If that traitor truly planted informants throughout this Nine-Xia Mountain, then perhaps……”

Before he even finished speaking, his right hand suddenly pressed toward the wall through empty air.

The wall shattered in response, yet not the slightest sound was produced. A human figure was actually seized through the air and dragged over, suspended in midair under the binding of Spiritual Power, unable to struggle free.

Only then did True Person Duanyue leisurely finish the latter half of his sentence,

“Quite a few of the Menial Disciples in this Daoist temple have long since become completely loyal to him.”

Long Tao stared dumbfounded at the person who had been captured and dragged inside. He was wearing sect disciple robes and was clearly merely a Menial Disciple from the Daoist temple, but…… Long Tao had not noticed anything at all?

Meanwhile, the man was still hanging in midair with an innocent expression, crying out,

“Immortal, Immortal Venerable! Why…… this disciple merely heard that an honored guest had arrived and waited outside to serve tea!”

True Person Duanyue merely looked at him, then smiled and said,

“Oh? I didn’t know that waiting outside to serve tea required using an ‘Eavesdropping Talisman’ and a ‘Concealment Talisman’, neither of which even exists in this world?”

The man’s expression changed abruptly. The previous fear and grievance vanished in an instant, transforming into venom and fanaticism,

“You fake Immortal Venerable! The Master is merely borrowing you to decorate the facade for now! The true Immortal Venerable…… has always been the Master and the Master alone!”

As he spoke, all the meridians throughout his body surged, seemingly intending to shatter his own heart meridians and commit suicide. However, True Person Duanyue merely snapped his fingers, and the man’s body abruptly froze. Even the circulation of his internal force was completely locked down.

“You can’t die yet.” The True Person’s tone was calm, “I still have far too many things to ask you.”

He turned toward Long Tao, his eyes already filled with solemnity,

“Long Tao, it seems what you said was indeed true. This place…… really has fallen into catastrophic chaos. From here on, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to work hard alongside me for a while.”
