Overriding the Heaven

Because he did not expect Chu Yan to give such an answer.    

It was very different from what he had imagined.    

"Why do you say that?" Kong Xian asked doubtfully.    

"To be able to exterminate a cultivator clan and to completely erase all traces of it, this must be something that only the cultivators of the celestial mood stage could do."    

And what you said just now, those cultivators of the clan don't even acknowledge the existence of the upper echelons of the clan.    

I think it's not that they don't admit it, but — I don't remember. " Chu Yan said.    

"Don't remember?" Kong Xian's gaze froze for a moment before revealing a pensive expression.    

It was very obvious that after hearing Chu Yan's words, he seemed to have thought of something.    

"Yes." Chu Yan looked at Kong Xian, and directly answered: "This is not impossible, as their memories were erased by others. Thus, from the start, he did not remember that such people had ever existed in his own clan.    

If not for the fact that Precious Appearance Kingdom had recorded the identities of all the cultivators, these people would probably have disappeared forever.    

From the extent of what we have done, the cultivators that have managed to do so are not only stronger than us, but also more daring.    

I think it's impossible to deal with someone like this with just the two of us. "    

At the moment, Chu Yan was not joking with Kong Xian.    

Even though he knew that he possessed strength beyond his level, and that he also had such a powerful killing tool behind the Gates of Hell.    

However, the most important thing for a person was to have self-awareness.    

He absolutely could not have any small strength and thus, he had no idea where he was.    

So Chu Yan knew very well that if he were to go all out right now, he still had a certain amount of confidence in dealing with cultivators within the Earth Origin Stage.    

But to deal with the celestial mood stage, that was definitely impossible.    

The one behind the Gates of Hell might be powerful enough to ignore celestial mood stage.    

But that was not Chu Yan's own strength.    

He was not going to casually bet his life on this unstable factor.    

Kong Xian fell into deep thought.    

After a long while, he gave a deep glance at Chu Yan, and said: "Your words just now gave me some other inspiration. But first, listen to what I have to say.    

Actually, I already thought that it might not even be one person doing this, but a group of people.    

And my attitude is the same as yours, just based on our strength alone, we will definitely not be able to deal with the celestial mood stage.    

As for the manor, I can only send my subordinates to investigate in private.    

To use the power of the Duke Palaces in order to deal with these enemies whose identities have yet to be found out, that is simply impossible. "    

"Then what do you mean?" Hearing Kong Xian's explanation, Chu Yan immediately became suspicious.    

Kong Xian smiled and said, "First, listen to what I have to say. The few cultivation clans I mentioned just now all have one thing in common."    

"What is it?" Chu Yan asked.    

"They —" A light flashed across Kong Xian's eyes. "They are all within the area of the Setting Sun Sect."    

After hearing that, information immediately surfaced in Chu Yan's mind.    

Through his previous understanding, he already knew that the sects in Precious Appearance Kingdom have different levels.    

From low to high, they were divided into sects, sects, and sects.    

In fact, there were similar divisions within the Yunao Kingdom s, just that they were not as strict.    

The biggest sect in the Precious Appearance Kingdom is the Heaven's Edge Sect.    

And only the Heaven's Edge Sect s could be called a "sect".    

And all the other sects within the borders of the Precious Appearance Kingdom can be collectively called the subordinate sects of the Heaven's Edge Sect.    

The Setting Sun Door was naturally one of them.    

There were many duties for the subordinate sects, including selecting talent, recommending it to the Heaven's Edge Sect, paying various resources to the Heaven's Edge Sect every year, and so on.    

For example, some sects had rare minerals within their territories.    

Thus, most of the ores mined by the sects would have to be handed over to the Heaven's Edge Sect, only then would the smaller portion be able to stay behind.    

To put it simply, the Heaven's Edge Sect was like a huge clan, and these subordinate sects were like stewards that the Heaven's Edge Sect had assigned to various places, working specifically for the Heaven's Edge Sect.    

Upon recalling this piece of information, Kong Xian's voice once again rang out.    

At this moment, his face carried a hint of a smile that was barely discernible: "About half a year ago, the Setting Sun Sect reported to the Heaven's Edge Sect that all the Blood Soul Mystical Ore under their jurisdiction have been completely extracted.    

However, Heaven's Edge Sect had yet to send anyone to check it out.    

Acceptance, and then when I return to report, I would be able to obtain a hundred Merit Point. "    

As Kong Xian spoke, he made a gesture: "You and I will go together, we will split it equally, and each person will have fifty Merit Point."    

"You said that you were able to obtain the Merit Point's mission so easily, you mean this?" Chu Yan frowned slightly.    

If it was just for examination and acceptance, it would be very easy.    

If they were to go to the Setting Sun Sect, then their identity would be Upper Sect Disciple.    

In the world of cultivators, levels were extremely strict.    

Even the celestial mood stage of the Setting Sun Sect had to be polite when they saw Upper Sect Disciple like them.    

However, the expression on Kong Xian's face showed that this quest was definitely not as simple as it looked on the surface.    

Connecting with what Kong Xian said before, a thought suddenly flashed through Chu Yan's mind.    

He instantly raised his head and looked at Kong Xian. "You suspect that the mountain fire had something to do with the Setting Sun Sect. They're hiding something?"    

"Whether this is the case or not, we'll know once we ask." Kong Xian waved his hand and the flowing sea suddenly parted once more, revealing the large hole.    

The two of them walked over to the man with bandages all over his body.    

Kong Xian continued, "Before you came, I didn't even ask this person a single question and didn't allow anyone to talk to him. Now we can ask. "    

Chu Yan lowered his head and looked at the fellow who was wrapped in bandages.    

He could feel that this person was nearing the end of his life. Even his single eye was dull and cloudy, like a bean-sized candle flame that could be extinguished at any time.    

It was only because of some kind of obsession that he had been able to hang on to this last breath, stubbornly refusing to die.    

Lowering her body, Kong Xian whispered into his ear, "Is the mountain fire you're talking about related to the Setting Sun Sect?"    

The moment he heard those words, Chu Yan clearly saw the person's murky eyes suddenly shine with a miraculous light.    

This expression was filled with fear, despair, anger, and grief.    

Kong Xian also saw the look in his eyes.    

He looked towards Chu Yan and nodded slightly.    

"Alright, I understand. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and tell the world the truth." Kong Xian whispered into the man's ear.    

At this moment, this person's body suddenly tensed up.    

Even though he was tightly bound by the bandage, it could still be seen that he was trembling violently.    

Light flashed in his eyes, as if it was the last rays of light before it was extinguished completely without any signs of life.    

Chu Yan saw, at this moment, that at the corner of this person's eyes, a tear was slowly flowing.
