Lingxuan Pavilion makes a living by selling information. It is not a super first-class sect, but its status is not lower than that of a super first-class sect.
The channels through which they obtain information are very wide.
All major super first-class sects cooperate with Lingxuan Pavilion.
The higher the price, the more precious the information. As long as you can afford the price, there is no information that Lingxuan Pavilion cannot find out.
"A thousand years ago, there was an elder from the Gongsun family who quietly sneaked into Chiyue City and successfully escaped alive. However, this man was already stupid. The Gongsun family should know some clues about Chiyue City."
The butler put down the cup and continued.
Liu Wuxie and Yuan Fengnan looked at each other and saw a trace of enthusiasm in each other's eyes.
They looked through a large number of clues, some of which were hearsay, and some of which were random guesses without any real evidence.
They were overjoyed to hear that someone had walked out of Chiyue City alive.
"Leave the Gongsun family immediately."
Yuan Fengnan didn't hesitate at all. He pulled Liu Wuxie and left Yuan's house without having time to clean up.
Time was urgent, so they found this person as soon as possible and asked about the situation in Chiyue City.
With lightning speed all the way, Yuan Fengnan came out of the Immortal Emperor's Domain, wrapping Liu Wuxie and moving forward.
Ningchi and Xia Ru have returned to Baguio Palace.
After finishing things here, Yuan Fengnan promised that he would personally send Liu Wuxie back.
After sleeping in the open air for a day, we finally arrived at the territory of the Gongsun family.
The Gongsun family is not a super first-class sect. It has a similar status to the Yuan family. They are both first-class families.
The Gongsun family seemed to have anticipated Yuan Fengnan's arrival.
Recently, the Yuan family's investigation into Chiyue City has been widely circulated, and the Gongsun family received the news a few days ago.
Welcoming Liu Wuxie and Yuan Fennan into the main hall, the head of the Gongsun family is an elder in his seventies, and his actual age is at least five thousand years old.
Why is the head of the Gongsun family looking so old when he is at the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm at this age and in the prime of life?
The development of the Gongsun family has not been satisfactory in recent years, and there is a vague tendency to fall into the second-rate family.
They each sat down, and two servants brought them tea.
"I have taken the liberty to come here, and I would like to invite Haihan, the head of the Gongsun family."
Yuan Fengnan made a haha.
Normally, you need to make an appointment in advance to visit a family. Most family owners are in retreat all year round and do not have time to receive guests.
"The visit of the head of the Yuan family has brought great glory to the Gongsun family. We are not happy enough."
The head of the Gongsun family also laughed. The two of them had only heard of each other and rarely interacted with each other.
This time at the Yuan family's wedding banquet, the Gongsun family only sent two elders to the banquet.
"Master Gongsun, let me tell you the truth. We came here to ask for something."
Time was urgent, so Yuan Fengnan abandoned those polite words and went straight to the point.
"You're late!"
The head of the Gongsun family shook his head, showing a hint of helplessness.
"I'm late?"
Liu Wuxie and Yuan Fengnan felt a thump in their hearts and had a bad premonition.
"The person you want to see was killed just last night."
After the head of the Gongsun family finished speaking, there was a strong murderous aura in his eyes.
The killer actually sneaked into their Gongsun family and killed the elders of the Gongsun family.
Although he became stupid, he was also the elder of the Gongsun family, and he was assassinated without anyone noticing. No wonder the head of the Gongsun family was so angry.
Liu Wuxie frowned. There must be someone like the Yuan family who found Lingxuan Pavilion and bought the news.
This led to taking one step ahead of the Yuan family, killing people, and preventing the Yuan family from gathering more clues about Chiyue City.
"Master Gongsun, can you take us to see it?"
Liu Wuxie stood up. Since he was assassinated last night, he probably hadn't been buried yet. He wanted to see who did it.
"You two, come with me!"
The head of the Gongsun family stood up, led the two of them out of the main hall, and walked towards the Gongsun family ancestral hall.
At this moment, slight sobbing can still be heard in the ancestral hall.
The elder who went to Chiyue City had a high status in the Gongsun family and had many heirs.
This assassination made the Gongsun family extremely angry, and all the clan members clamored to find the murderer.
The ancestral hall is filled with spiritual flags, and a large number of wreaths are placed on both sides of the ancestral hall door, with elegiac couplets written on them.
In the center of the ancestral hall, there is a coffin with the lid not closed.
Lying in the coffin was a skinny old man, who looked quite old.
Seeing the head of the family, the clansmen kneeling on both sides of the ancestral hall stood up one after another and came forward to salute.
When they saw Liu Wuxie and Yuan Fengnan, many clan members showed doubts.
Liu Wuxie and Yuan Fengnan stepped into the ancestral hall and bowed three times to the coffin in the middle. This was a sign of respect for the deceased.
Yuan Fengnan took the incense stick handed by the family next to him, and after praying three times, he inserted the incense stick into the incense burner with a solemn look on his face.
"Master Gongsun, can I see Senior Lu?" Liu Wuxie asked the master Gongsun.
The old man lying in the coffin is called Gongsun Lu. He was also very famous in the immortal world at that time. This man liked to travel to all kinds of rare places in the world.
No one expected that he would end up in Chiyue City.
The head of the Gongsun family nodded and signaled that Liu Wuxie could step forward, but he was not allowed to move the body of the deceased.
After death, moving the body is disrespectful to the deceased.
Liu Wuxie naturally knew this.
Walking to the edge of the coffin, his eyes fell on Gongsun Lu's body.
It can be described as skinny, which proves that Gongsun Lu has been tortured a lot over the years.
Gongsun Lu became stupid after he came back, and because Chiyue City was too mysterious, the Gongsun family issued a hush-hush order, prohibiting any discussion of information about Chiyue City.
Therefore, few outsiders knew that Gongsun Lu had entered Chiyue City.
Liu Wuxie didn't think so. Entering Chiyue City was not a shameful thing, so why did the head of the Gongsun family hide it for nearly a thousand years?
Quietly using his ghost eyes, Gongsun Lu's body gradually turned transparent, and every inch of blood vessels in his body appeared in Liu Wuxie's sight.
There was a sword mark on his neck. His throat was sealed with a sword, and he couldn't even scream.
Only top killers can do this.
Liu Wuxie initially suspected that Zhixuan's killer was responsible, and quickly eliminated Zhixuan.
The master who killed Gongsun Lu obviously intended to blame Zhixuan.
The long sword used by Yi Zhixuan is so thin that the wound is almost invisible.
Although the wound on Gongsun Lu's neck was very small, one could clearly feel that there was still a hint of sword energy in the wound.
He used the sword energy to burst out, forming a blade and cutting Gongsun Lu's neck.
His eyes were still looking at him, but there seemed to be nothing strange inside Gongsun Lu. Why did he become stupid after coming out of Chiyue City?
The problem must arise in the sea of souls.
The ghost eyes went straight to Gongsun Lu's soul sea. Even though the man was dead, the soul sea still had a faint residual warmth.
He didn't dare to search for souls in front of the Gongsun family, so he could only use ghost eyes and spiritual power to check.
The ghost eyes wandered in the sea of Gongsun Lu's soul. Liu Wuxie became more and more shocked as he looked at it. Gongsun Lu's sea of soul actually grew many insects.
This kind of bug cannot be seen with normal vision.
The two divine eyes were activated at the same time, and only then could a clue be seen.
Liu Wuxie seemed to understand why people who entered Chiyue City became stupid. It turned out that the soul sea was eroded by mysterious species, causing the soul sea to become chaotic and look stupid.
As long as you find a way to crack this bug, you can enter Chiyue City.
After so many years, someone should have discovered the existence of bugs, but no one has been able to crack it yet.
The bugs are so small that they are almost invisible. They flow with Gongsun Lu's memory.
Don't dare to sacrifice the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Cauldron easily. Even the Immortal Emperor Realm can't do anything about this kind of insect. Once it is contained in the Heaven-Swallowing Divine Cauldron and enters your own soul sea, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Liu Wuxie would never try it unless absolutely necessary.
After checking about the tea time, he looked back.
Staring at a dead person for a long time is also disrespectful to the family.
"Let's go out."
After looking away, Liu Wuxie said to Yuan Fengnan and the head of the Gongsun family.
The three of them returned to the main hall.
"Master Gongsun, was Senior Gongsun Lu already crazy before he came back?"
Liu Wuxie's eyes fell on the face of the Gongsun family master.
The person is dead and cannot speak.
The head of the Gongsun family must know what happened to Gongsun Lu during his lifetime, and hopes to find some useful clues.
Since Gongsun Lu can successfully return to the Gongsun family, it proves that he was still conscious before leaving Chiyue City.
If you are unconscious, how can you return safely?
"When I came back, I was crazy and often said things we couldn't understand."
The head of the Gongsun family did not hide it.
When Gongsun Lu came back, his consciousness was sometimes confused and sometimes stupid. Occasionally he would recognize one or two people.
As time passed, less than three days after returning to the family, I fell completely into a state of stupidity.
"What did you say?"
Yuan Fengnan asked impatiently.
"He just said water, a lot of water."
The head of the Gongsun family imitated Gongsun Lu's tone and repeated the words he had often said over the years.
"water?"
Liu Wuxie frowned.
Suddenly, his eyebrows condensed.
The insects in Gongsun Lu's sea of souls, if you look closely, are very similar to water flow, flowing with memories.
Could it be that the water Gongsun Lu pointed to was the insects that appeared in the sea of souls?
Even he has never seen such a rare insect, and it is estimated that the head of the Gongsun family and Yuan Fengnan may not know about it.
"Besides this, is there nothing else?"
Yuan Fengnan continued to ask.
"there is none left!"
The head of the Gongsun family shook his head.
Over the years, he has tried various methods, but he has been unable to solve the mystery of Chiyue City.
There was a hint of disappointment on Yuan Fengnan's face.
"Thank you very much, Master Gongsun. If you need anything in the future, just ask, our Yuan family will never refuse."
Yuan Fengnan stood up and hugged the head of the Gongsun family.
Since there are no other valuable clues, we can only leave.
"I won't send you two away."
The head of the Gongsun family stood up, hugged the two of them, and asked the housekeeper to send them out.
"Farewell!"
Holding fists in return, the two of them left the hall.
After leaving the gate of Gongsun's house, Yuan Fengnan took Liu Wuxie and flew into the distance.
After flying to the mountains, Liu Wuxie suddenly stopped.
"Wuxie, is there anything else?"
Yuan Fengnan stopped and asked Liu Wuxie.
"The head of the Gongsun family has hidden a lot of things from us. I plan to go deep into the ancestral hall at night."
Liu Wuxie looked at the Gongsun family in the distance. He could feel that the head of the Gongsun family had many unspeakable secrets and seemed unwilling to mention them in front of them.
"Did you find any clues?"
Yuan Fengnan asked immediately.
Sneaking into a first-class family in the middle of the night, once discovered, the consequences are unimaginable.
The shame is a small matter, and it will be difficult for the Yuan family and Baguio Palace to raise their heads in the fairy world in the future. Therefore, Yuan Fengnan needs to ask clearly whether it is worth taking this risk.
