Chapter 1164. Three Questions (1/2)

There was a giant spirit beast that was about 3,000 feet long moving within the star fog of the rank 5 region. This beast looked like a tiger, and it had a single horn more than 100 feet long that emitted a cold glint.

There were more than 30 people sitting on the back of the tiger. They were all calm and were cultivating with their eyes closed. There were men and women among them, and they gave off fluctuations of their cultivation.

There was a man standing beside the tiger with the horn. This man was middle-aged and wore a purple robe that moved without any wind. He had his hands behind his back as he looked at the star fog ahead. No one knew what he was thinking.

There was an old man respectfully standing behind this man, accompanying this middle-aged as they both stared ahead.

The old man softly said, “Sect Master, with the tiger’s current speed, we will arrive on the continent of Mo Luo in one more day.”

These people were the cultivators of the Purple Dao Sect. Normally, it wouldn’t have taken them this long to arrive, but due to the matter of the jade and pill recipe that led to the invasion of the rank 5 region, they had to delay their arrival to the continent of Mo Luo.

After dealing with everything and cooperating with the rank 6 sects, the Purple Dao Sect finally sent people out to the continent of Mo Luo.

The middle-aged man’s gaze fell on the star fog ahead as if he was thinking. After a long time, he nodded and calmly said, “There will finally be an answer for things that need to be settled.”

The old man was startled and didn’t understand the meaning of what the honorable Sect Master had said. In his view this will be a simply trip to the Origin Sect, what answer is there to obtain.

“Sect Master…” The old man was about to speak, but the middle-aged man shook his head and said, “You don’t understand. Chaos will rise, the Cloud Sea will no longer be calm.”

The old man silently pondered.

“In order to get a pill recipe and jade, not only the rank 6, but even rank 7 and 8 sects all sent cultivators. Is it worth it…” The middle-aged man seemed to be talking to himself. There was a sense of worry in him.

The old man whispered, “That pill recipe and jade are worth too much. It is inevitable people would be moved.”

“That pill recipe is an ominous item. The first time it appeared, it caused a calamity in the Cloud Sea. Now this is the second time it has appeared… I just don’t know who took it. The longer it is out there, the greater the calamity will be.” The middle-aged man shook his head and let out a sigh.

The old man hesitated for a bit and whispered, “According to the investigation, it was the Five Poison Sect’s Old Poisonous Woman who took the pill recipe and jade and went into hiding.”

“Don’t underestimate those old monsters of the rank 6 sects!” The middle-aged man faintly smiled.

The old man was startled. After he pondered carefully, he questioned, “Could there be someone else?”

“If it really was the Poisonous Old Woman, why does the Five Poison Sect still exist?” The middle-aged man’s eyes shined with wisdom. He slowly said, “How can that Poisonous Old Woman withstand Shi Luoxing and not be found considering her cultivation level? How would she be able to kill the Clear Flower Sect’s Noble Money while escaping?

“Noble Money was a Nirvana Shatterer cultivator. Who could kill him in the short period of time before the second wave of Clear Flower cultivators arrived?”

The old man gasped and his mind trembled. It took him a long time to recover, and terror filled his eyes.

“The Clear Flower Sect’s Noble Money was killed!” He was evidently unaware of this matter.

“Poisonous Old Woman can’t do this. Only the person who really obtained the jade and recipe could have such strength. That person must have been forced to kill Noble Money. Presumably, when leaving the wild land, that person encountered Noble Money and aroused suspicion and then was forced to attack.” The middle-aged man revealed a look of admiration and pity.

“He has vicious methods, decisive actions, and he cleanly killed Noble Money. Also, before that, this person quickly transferred the target on to the Poisonous Old Woman’s back, creating a layer of fog to gain some time. By doing so, he was able to confuse the rank 6 sects enough to escape their blockade before it was set up. Even if I were to change positions with him, I fear I’d be unable to do all of this.

“More importantly, this person’s scheme is very deep. I don’t know if he has another reason for framing the Poisonous Old Woman. If he really saw through the truth and only then framed the Poisonous Old Woman, then this person’s mind is like a devil’s!” The pity in the middle-aged man’s eyes became even stronger.

The heart of the middle-aged man pounded rapidly. After pondering a bit, he was still somewhat puzzled.

The middle-aged man didn’t turn his head, but he seemed to be able to clearly see the doubt on the old man’s face. He softly said, “If the rank 6 region successfully obtains the jade and recipe, then it will be a good omen. However, if they found the jade and recipe but lost it, then it will be a disaster for them.

“What they need is an explanation! An explanation to the rank 7, 8, or even 9 regions…”

The old man seemed to realize what happened and was filled with disbelief. His chest puffed up and down as he said, “So that’s why they allowed the Five Poison Sect to continue to exist and are also convinced it was the Poisonous Old Woman. Even Noble Money’s death will be seen as the action of a powerful cultivator of the Five Poison Sect!”

The middle-aged man smiled. Then he spoke softly as if he was talking to himself.
