Overriding the Heaven

Chu Yan sat at the window.    

Moonlight shone through the window.    

The wind blew gently.    

His eyes looked at the dim lights in the distance and seemed to be thinking about something.    

Naturally, that light came from the Setting Sun Door.    

And right now, he was in a guest room at the Setting Sun Door.    

Moreover, it was a small courtyard that only distinguished guests would be able to stay in.    

The environment was quiet, convenient to travel in, and rich in spirit energy.    

The Setting Sun Door originally arranged separate small courtyards for Chu Yan and Kong Xian.    

However, the two of them proposed to share a room.    

After the commotion in the mine today, the Sunset Door seemed to be purposely trying to curry favor with Chu Yan and Kong Xian.    

After a moment, the door was pushed open.    

Kong Xian walked in with the night breeze.    

"No one is watching us." After entering, Kong Xian spoke out, "However, the Setting Sun Sect is guarded by a celestial mood stage after all. Perhaps they possess some kind of technique or magic treasure that we are not clear about, so they can observe our every word and action.    

So we can't afford to be careless. "    

"Aren't you the Precious Appearance Kingdom's King with a different surname? Do you think they would dare to lay their hands on you? " Chu Yan laughed.    

Knowing that Chu Yan was using his identity to make fun of him, Kong Xian also laughed.    

However, his tone did not sound like he was joking, "But a dog will jump off a wall if they get anxious."    

"You see, you are already saying that they are dogs, and you are not afraid that they will eavesdrop." Chu Yan pointed to his opponent.    

"This is not because I discovered the illusion array you set up." Kong Xian unhappily rolled her eyes at Chu Yan, then walked to Chu Yan's side and sat down.    

Before they came here, Chu Yan and Kong Xian already knew that something was wrong with the Setting Sun Door, and it had to be the high-level celestial mood stage.    

However, what they were unsure of was whether there was a problem with one or two celestial mood stage s, or whether all of them were equally black.    

However, after this afternoon's probing, this matter had almost been made clear.    

At least Sect Leader Cui Derong and Vice Sect Leader Zhang Bo were not clean.    

Logically speaking, since the two biggest figures in a sect had started to do bad things, the remaining people would naturally have their butts covered in feces as well.    

"These few celestial mood stage s of the Setting Sun Sect, I'm afraid they have gone mad." After sitting down, she sighed.    

"Since ancient times, wealth has moved the heart. This saying can also be used on cultivators." Chu Yan said.    

"But right now, I still don't know what their goal is." Kong Xian looked at the cups on the table in front of him, then he took out two of them and placed them side by side.    

He pointed at one of the cups and said, "This is the guy who died talking about the mountain fires and the clan that mysteriously went missing."    

Then he pointed to another cup and said, "This is the Setting Sun Sect's Blood Soul Mystical Ore."    

After pausing for a moment, Kong Xian continued, "We can roughly conclude that there was a problem with the Blood Soul Mystical Ore. This problem caused the higher ups of the Setting Sun Sect to do all those things.    

But what was the Blood Soul Mystical Ore worth for them to do?    

One had to know, their current actions were more than enough to be directly killed by the Heaven's Edge Sect.    

Could he be trying to take possession of the mine? "    

"Of course not." Chu Yan immediately shook his head in denial, "If I had really done this, I would have done it a long time ago.    

Today, when you were bait and lured Zhang Bo out, you didn't notice.    

And I was right behind him, so I kept an eye on his face. "    

"What did you find?" Kong Xian's eyes narrowed.    

After they returned from the mine, they attended the welcoming banquet at the Sunset Gate.    

At the banquet, both parties did not discuss the matter regarding the mine today.    

The two sides seemed to be in harmony, but in reality, they both had their own thoughts.    

As for Chu Yan and Kong Xian, only now did they have time to sit down and exchange the information they had obtained today.    

"He's scared." Chu Yan recalled Zhang Bo's reaction back then, and a cold smile formed on his lips, "He's not afraid that you would lose your way, nor is he afraid that someone would appear in the cave, he's afraid that we would meet that person."    

Kong Xian lowered his head and muttered to himself for a moment, then looked up at Chu Yan and said: "It was all thanks to your plan, that Zhang Bo had exposed himself.    

In fact, I was a little nervous back then, because I could already feel Zhang Bo's killing intent.    

But I have a question. "    

"Go ahead."    

"What is that figure?" When Zhang Bo rushed over there, his speed was very fast. After all, he was using the celestial mood stage's movement technique. Kong Xian asked curiously.    

Chu Yan smiled and did not answer.    

That figure was naturally the human-shaped puppet that Chu Yan had refined before he had come to the Setting Sun Door.    

According to Chu Yan's plan, after they entered the mines, Kong Xian pretended to discover some figures. Without waiting for Zhang Bo to react, she chased after him.    

Then, he would take advantage of the time that Zhang Bo had to chase after Kong Xian to complete the next part of his plan.    

As for why Zhang Bo was unable to catch the humanoid puppet, the reason was naturally much simpler.    

Using the method of pretending to fall, Chu Yan kept it inside his echo loop.    

echo loop could isolate themselves from the outside world and investigate anything. A mere consciousness was naturally nothing difficult.    

And because Zhang Bo had witnessed the existence of the human figure, he believed without a doubt that there were people surviving in the mines.    

As a result, he naturally did not think that Chu Yan and Kong Xian had already planned this out.    

Otherwise, when they were in the mines, with Zhang Bo's strength, it was possible for him to kill Chu Yan and Kong Xian.    

Chu Yan had originally planned to use that humanoid puppet as a shield and a thug.    

He did not expect that before these two effects could be realized, he would use it to scare off the cultivators of the celestial mood stage.    

Seeing that Chu Yan did not say anything, Kong Xian naturally did not ask further.    

After all, every cultivator had their own secrets.    

He was very clear on this point.    

Avoiding this topic, Kong Xian's fingertips tapped gently on the table in a rhythmic manner.    

"Now it seems that there is indeed a secret in the mine.    

But what was this secret, and where was it hidden?    

Right now, everything is just our speculation.    

If there is no conclusive evidence, even if we go back and report this back to the Heaven's Edge Sect, we won't get the rewards.    

The Sunset Martial School could also destroy the evidence after they received the news.    

I'm afraid that when the time comes, we might even be hated by these guys from the Sunset Gate. "    

Kong Xian felt that the matter was a little tricky.    

"This matter, before, I was still a little simplistic.    

I never thought that this mine would be so complicated.    

Even if we ask the celestial mood stage to use its sacred art, I am afraid that there is no way to guarantee that we can completely separate this mine pit and pry into its interior. "    

With that, Kong Xian turned to look at Chu Yan.    

Obviously, he was waiting for Chu Yan's response.    

"What is the secret? We'll know very soon. " While speaking, Chu Yan took out something.    

When Kong Xian saw the object that was about half a foot long, as thick as two fingers, and as black as bamboo, his gaze froze. "This is …"
