Chapter 522: The Secret of the Holy Tower
"But the disappearance of the Jingxu Temple monks...maybe really related to the Demon Cult."
As soon as Yi Xifeng said this, Zhou Di immediately cheered up. His eyes lit up and he asked:
"Do you know why?"
Yi Xifeng shook his head, and Zhou Di was a little disappointed.
"But three years ago, a missing person also happened."
Zhang Yanshi frowned slightly, and then his eyes lit up. After waking up a few days ago, he asked about many things that had happened during the years of coma, and some things were still fresh in his memory. He looked at Yi Xifeng and said:
"You mean the people of Loulan City?"
Yi Xifeng nodded, Zhou Di frowned and said, "Weren't the people of Loulan City killed by the Endless Wilderness?"
At that time, this incident spread throughout the world, and Zhou Di had naturally heard of it. However, the rumors in the world were that he was killed by Wuwuhuangman. Zhou Di was far away at White Horse Temple, so the news he heard was relatively limited.
Yi Xifeng said: "That matter was not that simple back then. There were too many doubts."
Zhang Yanshi drank the remaining half of the wine glass in front of him in one gulp and said in a deep voice:
"Three days before the Endless Wilderness captured Loulan City, the people in the city had already left. Three days was enough time for them to leave the borders of the countries in the Western Region. However, after the Endless Wilderness captured Loulan City, they did not immediately pursue it. Instead, they After resting for three days, we continued heading south."
"This alone doesn't mean anything, right? After all, they are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, so they might be walking slower." Zhou Di said.
Yi Xifeng took over the topic and continued:
"I've seen that group of old and weak women and children. Their traveling speed is slower than ordinary people, but six days is enough time for them to escape to the Demon Kingdom. To be precise, those old and weak women and children disappeared in the Demon Kingdom, and they are far away from them. The closest one is the place where the demon sect belongs—Xuyou Mountain."
Zhou Di was shocked when he heard about Xuyou Mountain. He said: "I investigated the clues about the monks of Jingxu Temple, and it was at this mountain that the clues were broken!"
The three of them looked at each other, as if they had discovered something terrible. But the clues end here, and everything else is meaningless speculation. You still have to go to Xuyou Mountain to find out what is going on.
…………
"The visit is over, what are your plans next?" Yi Xifeng said after taking a sip of wine.
Zhang Yanshi thought for a while. Elder Zhou Mo just asked him to visit Zuo Jianming, and did not tell him what plans he had after that.
"Go back to the Holy War Hall. The Holy War Hall has been unstable recently. I'm worried that something might happen to Master."
Yi Xifeng frowned slightly. Zhang Yanshi didn't know about the closure of the Holy War Hall. At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Don't tell him."
Yi Xifeng looked at the white-robed guard, nodded slightly in understanding, and said to Zhang Yanshi: "Why don't you follow me to the Floating Tower Kingdom? Captain Hansong happens to be there too."
"oh?"
Zhang Yanshi and Zhou Di's eyes lit up. Zhou Di has never seen Han Song again since we parted ways in Luoye City a few years ago. Zhang Yanshi has been there for more than ten years. When he was in the mountain patrol team, he also received a lot of guidance from Han Song.
The three of them hit it off immediately and decided to leave for the Floating Tower Country tomorrow.
Late at night in the inn, Zhang Yanshi and Zhou Di had already fallen asleep. Yi Xifeng walked out of the room alone. After taking a few steps, a ripple in the space caused the fair young man to disappear.
After the space ripples passed, Yi Xifeng stepped into a void of space. A figure stood quietly in front of him with his back to him.
"Your Holiness." Yi Xifeng bowed his hands.
This person turned around, and it was the white-robed guard who had been following Zhang Yanshi during the day.
"No need to be polite."
Yi Xifeng stopped his hand and stood opposite the Pope. He couldn't help but be confused and asked:
"Isn't the Holy War Hall closed? How did the Pope come out?"
"Your information is quite good. It must be the information given to you by Zhenwu Andian." The Pope looked at Yi Xifeng calmly and said.
Yi Xifeng smiled and did not deny it.
This was not the first time that the two met. He had practiced in the Pagoda of Holy War Hall for a period of time and had many interactions with the pope.
"Lu Zhanyuan didn't rescue you in the Bloodstained Secret Realm, but Lu Ya did."
Yi Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and after a moment's thought, he understood the meaning of his words.
"It seems that the Pope in front of me is just a clone, but the Pope's clone can actually open up space, which is impressive enough." Yi Xifeng thought to himself.
The Pope of the Holy War Church did not say it clearly, and Yi Xifeng did not point it out. He then changed the topic and asked:
"The Pope risked his life to lure the fish out of the water. Now that the fish has emerged, why did the Pope choose to stop?"
The Pope glanced deeply at Yi Xifeng, but soon regained his composure and said:
"Your current level of strength is not enough to touch these. Let's wait until you reach the Chongsheng Realm. Knowing too much will not be good for you."
Yi Xifeng was silent for a moment. Since the other party didn't want to tell him many things, there was no point in asking further.
At this time, the Pope spoke first: "How is the investigation on the remnant spirit going?"
After Yi Xifeng calmed down, he expressed his guess.
"I suspect it is Su Xiaoxian. Su Xiaoxian's identity was unknown when he was picked up by the Qingyun Sect. Moreover, at a young age, his swordsmanship was comparable to that of the elders in his sect. With such a high talent, he is probably the reincarnation of the residual spirit."
"Swordsmanship talent alone doesn't mean much. Your talent is not bad either, and your cultivation has advanced faster than him, and your origins are also unknown. If you say so, you are more like the reincarnation of a residual spirit."
Yi Xifeng's eyes widened, his lips tightened, and he was speechless. After all, the other party was right, and he seemed to be more suspicious. If he didn't know what he was going through, Yi Xifeng would even want to doubt himself.
"I have long said that the broken fragments of the weapon spirit will not exist for long. Now that hundreds of years have passed and it has left the protection of the Holy Tower, I am afraid it has long since dissipated."
Yi Xifeng raised a question in his mind: "But the Pope has left the Holy Tower, isn't he still living well?"
"My power is no longer within the weapon spirit. Just like you, it is all the true essence of heaven and earth." The Pope replied in a deep voice.
Yi Xifeng sighed. He really couldn't produce any strong evidence now. The main reason was that Su Xiaoxian's life experience could not be found. Even if he used the Zhenwu Dark Palace, there was still no clue. It seemed that there was a big hand behind him that eliminated Su Xiaoxian's previous... All traces.
"In another hundred days, the Holy Tower will completely dissipate. Even if the remnant spirit is not dead now, it will disappear together by then."
After leaving these words, ripples were set off in the void again. Yi Xifeng's figure appeared in the inn again, but the Pope's figure had disappeared.
