PNB Chapter 1930 This old thing is more profound than it appears.
Chapter 1930 This old thing is more profound than it appears.
After Yue Wuhen left, Yue Yao remained seated under the lamp.
She didn't move, but just stared at the flickering candlelight, her gaze growing deeper and deeper.
Mingchuan knew about Chiyang.
This was something she hadn't expected.
She learned about Chiyang from her master.
This person is so important that a large part of the reason she came to Tianque City in person this time was to pry this secret out of Mingchuan.
But he was the one who spoke first.
“A deal…” Yueyao murmured, a cold smile playing on her lips, “You dare to ask.”
She stood up, walked to the window, and opened it.
A night breeze blew in, carrying a slight chill.
The area in the east of the city was very quiet. In the distance, a few lights could be faintly seen in the direction of the prison, where guards were patrolling.
Mingchuan is right there.
He was clearly a prisoner, yet he seemed like someone who had set a trap.
This feeling made Yueyao very uncomfortable.
But she had to admit that the person was indeed quite capable.
To be able to walk right up to the edge of Guixu, to be able to survive in this state, and to be able to repeatedly fail—there's no one else like her in the entire Holy Domain!
Unfortunately, this person chose the wrong side!
Outside the window, a dark figure quickly and silently landed in the courtyard.
Yueyao didn't turn around, but simply asked, "You found out?"
The dark figure knelt on one knee, his voice hoarse: "Reporting to the Fairy, we have a clue to the location of the Southern Bright Fire Hell. According to ancient records, it should be deep within the Burning Heaven Sea, southeast of the Holy Domain. That sea is shrouded in flames year-round, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to approach. As for the Blazing Sun..."
He paused, then said, "No records were found."
"No record?"
"Yes. None of the ancient books, fragments, or stone tablets we could find mentioned this name."
Yueyao remained silent for a moment.
The lack of records actually indicates that we've found the right direction.
The fact that the traces could be so thoroughly erased proves precisely that the existence of the Blazing Sun is real, and that it was deliberately hidden.
"Continue the investigation. Also, send people to the Burning Sky Sea to find out the situation there. Don't alert them; just scout ahead without taking any action."
"Yes."
The shadowy figure accepted the order and left.
Yueyao closed the window and sat back down under the lamp.
Mingchuan said he knew where Chiyang was.
If he wasn't lying, then he must live, because only a living Mingchuan can lead her to Chiyang.
But if he lies...
A murderous glint flashed in Yueyao's eyes. She would show him what would happen if he lied to her!
……
Inside the prison, Mingchuan still sat leaning against the stone bed.
After Yueyao left, he opened his eyes and looked at the prison door that had been closed again, the smile on his lips slowly fading away.
On the surface, his conversation just now seemed to show that he was in control of the situation, but in reality, he was walking a tightrope with every step he took.
Yueyao's killing intent was genuine. If it weren't for the fact that this was the Heavenly Prison, and if it weren't for the fact that the Third Prince's men were outside, she really would have made a move.
But that's exactly what Mingchuan is betting on.
In hindsight, he made the right bet.
Next, Yueyao will definitely investigate Chiyang's matter. With Longyin Temple's intelligence network, it won't be long before she finds out the approximate location of the Southern Ming Fire Prison.
She will come back to him and force him to reveal the exact coordinates.
That will be the real showdown.
Mingchuan closed his eyes, quickly calculating the next steps in his mind.
He did know the whereabouts of Chi Yang.
From the information left by Cangming, he pieced together the approximate location: southeast of the Holy Domain, in the Burning Sky Sea, deep within an underwater volcano.
But the question is, what exactly is there? Is Chi Yang alive or dead? Is he insane or lucid?
He didn't know, but he knew that Yueyao's desire to find Chiyang was definitely not for good reasons.
So he had to get there before her, find that person first, or at least figure out what was going on over there.
But he is now trapped in the Heavenly Prison.
The Third Prince's act must continue, Yueyao must keep fishing, and Chiyang's side cannot be ignored.
Lack of separation.
Mingchuan sighed.
"If only I had someone I could trust to go in my place..."
He suddenly stopped.
and many more.
There really is one person I can trust.
……
The main hall of Xuan Shui Yuan.
Chu Huai was meditating, and the Cangming mark between his brows glowed faintly.
Since inheriting the inheritance, he has spent a lot of time every day comprehending the information that floods into his sea of consciousness. It is the accumulation of seventy thousand years of Cangming, enough for him to digest for a long time.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
The communication talisman in my arms was getting warm.
He took it out and saw that it was sent by Mingchuan.
Just one sentence:
"Come to Tianque City. Don't alert anyone."
Chu Huai's pupils contracted slightly.
Mingchuan sent him?
Wasn't he imprisoned in the imperial prison?
But since Mingchuan said that, he must have his reasons.
Chu Huai stood up and walked outside.
Just as I reached the door, I ran into Ah Xiong.
"Chu Huai? Where are you going?"
Chu Huai kept walking: "I have something to do, I need to go out for a bit. Please tell the others for me not to worry."
Ah Xiong was taken aback. Before he could ask anything else, Chu Huai had already walked away.
He stood there, looking in the direction where the figure had disappeared, and scratched his head.
"So mysterious..."
……
Tianque City, the Third Prince's Residence.
The third prince sat in the study, facing Master Huineng.
The two had been talking for a long time.
From Guixu to the Gatekeeper, from Yueyao to Mingchuan, from the situation of the Holy Domain Dynasty to the possible changes to come.
Huineng remained calm throughout, but the Third Prince became increasingly alarmed as he listened.
"Does the master mean that the Chiyang that Yueyao is looking for might not be the original gatekeeper?"
Huineng nodded.
“The message Cangming sent back said that Chiyang claimed to have ‘glimpsed the essence of Guixu.’ There are many interpretations of this statement. One is that he found a way to deal with Guixu, and another…” He paused, “is that he has been corrupted by Guixu.”
The Third Prince's heart sank.
What happens if it's corrupted by the Ruins of Return?
Huineng looked at him with deep eyes.
"It will become something else. No longer a gatekeeper, but a claw of the Void. It will seek out those with weak wills throughout the myriad realms, luring them into the Void to become new nourishment."
"If Yueyao found such a blazing sun..."
He didn't finish speaking, but the Third Prince already understood.
If Yueyao finds the corrupted Blazing Sun, then she isn't looking for help, but rather for a key that can help her unlock the Ruins of Return.
At that time, the entire universe will be plunged into an abyss of no return.
"Then what should we do?" The Third Prince suddenly stood up. "I'll go and release Mingchuan right now, and let him..."
"No rush." Huineng raised his hand to stop him. "Since Benefactor Ming has chosen to stay in prison, he must have his reasons. If we interrupt him rashly, we might ruin his plans."
"But……"
"Your Highness, please calm down." Huineng smiled slightly. "Before I came here, I had already sent people to investigate the situation in the Burning Heaven Sea. If Yueyao really sent people there, we will know very soon."
The Third Prince looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and slowly sat back down in his chair.
This old thing is much more complex than it appears...
