My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

The spiritual energy of the Canghai Realm collapsed for unknown reasons and disappeared into the world. It was at that time that the boundary river became unstable. Because the disappearance of the spiritual energy affected the production and life of mortals, people in the Canghai Realm were in a state of panic.

The white-robed man appeared at this moment, displaying his powerful abilities. He joined forces with the cultivators of the Canghai Realm, using formations and alchemical cauldrons to sacrifice the humans, demons, and monsters of the Canglan Realm, as well as demonic beasts and spirit beasts. They spared no place where spiritual energy was abundant.

The frequent disappearances of people in the Canglan Realm, the overnight collapse of small sects, and the withering of the Golden Leaf Wutong tree are all due to the sacrifice of the array. All the spiritual energy was transferred to the Canghai Realm to nourish the cultivators there.

Taibai Pavilion was originally a neutral organization that never participated in the struggles between various forces, but instead moved between them by selling information.

However, they have now joined forces with the cultivators of the Canghai Realm to assist them in completing the sacrifice and to erase information that is detrimental to the cultivators of the Canghai Realm. It is hard to imagine how they persuaded Taibai Pavilion to work for them.

Lu Ze and Kong Lianghe were spies planted in the Lu family by Taibai Pavilion. They worked with the cultivators of Taibai Pavilion to gradually take over the Lu family.

The reason why the Golden Leaf Wutong withered and died was all designed by the two of them. An extra item in the fertilizer, together with the formation, absorbed and transmitted spiritual energy, sending the spiritual energy to the Canghai Realm.

"There is something I have been hiding from you all."

Ji Daoyun's divine sense swept over everyone, observing their expressions. "The two sect leaders should know that I went to Yingzhou to see the state of the boundary river before. I told Daoist Yuchen that the boundary river was full of spatial rifts and gales, and it would be difficult to attempt to cross the river without the cultivation of the Refining Void Realm or even the Dao Integration Realm."

In fact, that's not all. The border river is shrouded in a fog that never dissipates, and within the fog, dozens of chains intertwine to block the sky above the river, with one end of each chain disappearing into the water.

It is likely that someone is deliberately blocking the boundary river, preventing the Canglan and Canghai realms from communicating and understanding each other's situations.

Therefore, I suspect that the reason the Canghai Realm is so insane and disregards human ethics is perhaps because the White-Robed Man is deliberately instigating them to kill each other.

No one knows how to break the strange alchemy cauldron and formation. The white-robed man is behind the scenes and is very likely the mastermind behind this situation. Their identities are a mystery, and they must have been planning this for a long time.

The situation regarding Lu Xiyan's coma finally took a turn for the better. The reason Lu Xiyan encountered that indescribable monster was all Lu Ze's doing—

The monster's owner was Lu Ze. Ji Daoyun saw the monster's nest in the courtyard of the box, but he couldn't find any trace of the monster.

The demonic beast sighting in Youlin County was deliberately orchestrated by the people of Taibai Pavilion. They set up an illusion that a mortal would naturally be unable to detect, which is why the old man couldn't clearly describe what the demonic beast looked like. Later, he died without providing any evidence, thus allowing cultivators to search for the demonic beast's tracks and shifting their attention and focus.

The disappearance of Gu Xiaonan and others was also the work of the disciples of Taibai Pavilion. Not only is Shiren Sect investigating the matter of Kaitian Gate, but they have also been searching for the whereabouts of Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying.

Two years ago, Ruan Luo and her companion disappeared from the Western Barbarian Divine Continent. Taibai Pavilion has been secretly searching for them, believing that Ruan Luo and her companion possess secrets about them.

Tai Bai Xie learned that Ruan Luo and her companion had appeared in the Yaoxiang Secret Realm and then went to Yicheng to successfully become disciples of the Shiren Sect. He had been waiting for an opportunity for them to leave the Shiren Sect.

Kong Lianghe recognized Luo Hanying the moment he saw her. The so-called assassins ordered by Lu Yanxin were actually directed by Kong Lianghe and Lu Ze.

Soul-searching techniques are not omnipotent; not everything can be traced back to a person's memory. For example, when Yue Shu touched the figure of the white-robed man, her head suddenly exploded, and her primordial spirit was also tragically obliterated.

Taibai Pavilion was extremely cautious to prevent its members from being tortured into revealing their secrets. Therefore, they even placed a seal within their own sea of ​​consciousness. If anyone were to touch their core through this sea of ​​consciousness, or if a traitor within the organization were to utter something they shouldn't, the seal in their sea of ​​consciousness would be triggered, destroying their primordial spirit to prevent future trouble.

As things gradually became clear and were exposed to everyone, Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying listened to the clanging system notifications in their minds, unsure whether to let go or hold on.

The decay that had been hidden beneath the lush greenery of the Canglan Realm was now emitting a foul stench, and with Ji Daoyun's words, the mask of so-called peace and tranquility was torn away.

From that day on, everyone in the cultivation world lived in fear, not knowing whether they would be the next victim.

The message from the Blade Sect caused panic, but it also made them finally confront the conspiracy targeting the Azure Realm.

Large and small sects banded together for mutual support, facing this battle together;

More cultivators entered the world to save people, using their meager strength to relieve suffering and distress, and thus all the schemes went from being hidden to being revealed.

Everyone was worried. The Lu family was purging and replacing its own members, and ordered people to appease Lu Ze and Kong Lianghe, pretending not to know their identities, leaving the matter to be dealt with later.

Lan Shihai showed the scene he saw in the box courtyard, which was very different from what Ji Daoyun saw. Different spells led to different spaces, no wonder Lu Ze was so calm and collected as to put his secret under their noses.

After everyone dispersed from the council hall, Bai Yize couldn't help but speak first: "Junior Uncle, what should we do now?"

"We are now heading to Tonghua Town, Tongshui County."

Ji Daoyun explained, "As you just saw, there is a thousand-year-old tree in Tonghua Town, and it is suspected that there are treasures buried under the tree."

We must go and find out for ourselves; perhaps the purpose of Taibai Pavilion and Canghai Realm truly lies there.

Luo Hanying belatedly realized what was happening and called out to Ji Daoyun, "Wait, wait, is there really no problem? Isn't it just that Taibai Pavilion mentioned there was a shadowy figure in Tonghua Town?"

Are they deliberately trying to get us to go? Could there be a trap there? Don't we need to prepare anything?

Even if it's a trap, we have to jump in.

Ji Daoyun knew that Luo Hanying might not be the only one who thought his decision was problematic, so he voiced his thoughts.

"Firstly, Taibai Pavilion deliberately led us there. We are currently pretending not to know anything, so naturally we have to go and find out what's going on."

Secondly, the content of the scroll shows that the Canghai cultivators did indeed intend to perform a sacrifice in Tonghua Town, and we cannot sit idly by.

As for what preparations you want to make, what else can we prepare? We haven't needed any additional preparations since we left the Shiren Sect.

Ji Daoyun led his men away from the Lu family on swords and weapons, heading straight for Tonghua Town.
