Peerless Taoist

These chess pieces were unimportant, but if someone with the intention found out who was hiding behind them, the consequences would be unimaginable.    

"It doesn't matter. I set those people up indirectly. They definitely won't find out who we are."    

Jiang Qifeng waved his hand. His face regained its calmness. "However, we can't let our guard down. With these chess pieces removed, the Five Official Kings will definitely be stricter in monitoring the Imperial Residence. If we want to do something in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. "    

If these words were to spread outside, no one would have thought that the dignified chief consecrate of the Imperial Residence would actually be the mastermind behind the evil cultivators' concealment.    

This was the so-called "darkness under the lamp."    

"So what? Just let them investigate. The fourth realm will be finished sooner or later. We might as well take this opportunity to leave." Jiang Hongspider didn't think much of it. An ear-piercing, hoarse voice came from beneath his aged face.    

The black-robed man next to him remained unmoved. He stood guard in all directions. They were all men of sacrifice trained by the Jiang family. They wouldn't reveal any secrets.    

"Alright, I was a bit hesitant at first. After all, the Fifth Prince treats me well. However, since this hidden chess move has been exposed, there is no need for our Jiang family to continue staying in the Fourth Realm. " An evil light flashed across Jiang Qifeng's eyes.    

There was a silver plate hanging on his waist. The patterns were somewhat similar to the Life King Gold Medallion, but the material was worlds apart.    

On the silver plate, a few words were carved in the language of the Ghost Region - Bear Pass Guard.    

The Ten Thousand Mile Bear Pass was an important defensive line of the fourth realm. It was also the backbone of the defensive line against the Yan Family.    

Jiang Qifeng had volunteered himself, so the Fifth Prince could not refuse. In the end, this important role of guarding the pass had still fallen into Jiang Qifeng's hands.    

"In the Nether Realm, strength is everything. Fifth Official King, you are muddle-headed now, listening to slanderous words. Then you can't blame me. " Jiang Qifeng revealed a cold smile.    

...    

A strict screening was being carried out in the Duke of Xianyu's residence.    

The elite cultivators sent out by the Fourth Underworld were conducting an investigation on the members of the Duke's Estate one by one. This had started early in the morning, and the entire Duke's Estate was bustling with noise and prosperity.    

However, none of this affected Lu Yu.    

In the backyard of the prince's mansion, Lu Yu's Life Soul Lamp was placed all over the place, and the entire room was filled with specks of starlight.    

Fate was like a string, shuttling back and forth in the long river of time and space. It was an endless profound mystery, an endless depth, and it revealed the most profound Great Dao between the heavens and the earth.    

The lamp was to search for clues about the Ark of Destiny.    

The lantern walked and stopped, and then it quietly descended when it found a vessel. When it saw that it wasn't the person it was looking for, it drifted away once more.    

This continued for a full five days, and finally, there was a result.    

In the darkness, the endless threads of fate gathered at one point. They were covered by the hazy fog, but a slender figure still vaguely appeared.    

"Nianqiu..."    

Lu Yu saw the outline of the figure and immediately recognized it.    

This was the youngest disciple he had taken in in in his previous life, Pang Nianqiu!    

At this moment, Pang Nianqiu's soul was like a small boat in the vast ocean, rising and falling, with the possibility of being lifted at any time.    

This meant that the situation Pang Nianqiu was facing right now was extremely dangerous, with the risk of losing his life at any moment.    

Lu Yu let out a long sigh. Although he wanted to help, the effect of the Life Soul Lamp was still quite limited.    

He could only investigate life and death, but he could not investigate any traces.    

This was the limitation of the Life Soul Lamp, but it just so happened that the Scroll of Changing could not calculate Nian Qiu's general location.
