After returning to the Mountain God's Gate, when the giant saw me return, he quickly asked: ”How is it, Jushi, the White Jade Gate …”

”Success.”

”That's good!” The giant heaved a sigh of relief. He finally felt relieved.

”Eh, where is Nanshan?”

”Him? ”I also don't know. He comes and goes like a ghost all day long.”

Daoist Nan Shan is an alchemist, so he's not around any time. He must have gone to pick herbs. I'm not in a hurry, so I waited at the Mountain God School. I usually come back once a day.

After a few days, the Southern Mountain's Daoist finally returned with a smile as bright as the sun. It was unknown which sect he had gone to steal some good herbs. When I told him to help us enter the Sky Sect, he agreed without a second thought. That surprised me.

In the Sky Sect, the grand protective magical formation didn't usually activate. It was unknown whether it was because it was a little troublesome or because it had absolute confidence in itself, and it was not afraid of being attacked by anyone. What I need the help of the Daoist of South Mountain is to use the formation to hide my body.

The Southern Mountain's Daoist also didn't find it troublesome. He gathered his spiritual power and scattered it all over my body. He said that he had already used his spiritual power to set up a formation, but it could only last for an hour. Then, he also used his beard to form a complicated array formation and quietly left. No one knew where he went or what he was doing.

An hour should be enough.

After arriving at the thirteenth peak, I didn't reminisce about my old residence. Instead, I flew up and arrived at Qiu Xuan's residence on the peak of the thirteenth peak. He's always been the one looking for me. I don't know how to find him, but when I first came to the summit, he said that he was usually here when he had nothing to do.

Qiu Xuan wasn't a person who liked liveliness; his emotions were all hidden deep within his heart, making it hard for others to know. I had asked him about his experiences, but even if he hadn't said it, I wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. With this kind of killing intent, it could be concealed extremely well. The depth of his scheming was not any less than Qiu Xi's.

I admire Qiu Xuan very much. Perhaps he also appreciates me, but we both know that we can only work together. We aren't friends, nor are we suitable to be friends.

Friend, I won't betray you. My friend is only A'Hu.

His residence, which I came here for once, is a simple and crude thatched cottage.

The door was closed and I walked in quietly. Before I could open the door, it opened on its own.

”Come in.”

Qiu Xuan is indeed here, he can even find me! The Great Deception Illusion could conceal my aura, and the South Mountain array formation could hide my figure. Right now, mine is completely invisible, so how did he discover me?

Qiu Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed. Without even opening his eyes, he resembled an old monk sitting still, as a faint aura emanated from him, as deep as a serene lake and as vast as a river.

”I knew you wouldn't die.”

Qiu Xuan's eyes slowly opened and a ray of sword light shot out. When I met his gaze, I immediately felt a wave of pain and quickly closed my eyes to move away. At the same time, I was shocked, just what cultivation level is Qiu Xuan at? Unexpectedly, I've always underestimated him!

”White Fox Jushi, Chen Ziming, Zhang Fugui. Your identity is truly complicated.”

He pointed his finger countless times, and I don't need to remember everything. I only need to remember one point, and if I want to materialize, I will withdraw that bit of spiritual power. The array will naturally be broken, and if I want to become invisible again, I can replenish that bit of spiritual power.

”This time, I think we're not talking about my identity.” I smiled and said, ”I have already completed the joint effort of the three great sects. The power now is almost enough to overturn the Sky Sect. As for you, it's about time for me to witness your power.”

Qiu Xuan is an extremely intelligent person. He has been in the Sky Sect for dozens of years, so he must have had his own background and eyes. Although the three great sects are working together very quickly, I believe that they won't be able to hide it from him.

”My strength? When the fight starts, I will reveal myself. But even I know about the alliance between the three great sects, Qiu Xi and Ling Xuan definitely won't know about it. Are you that confident that the Sky Sect will fall into this trap? ”

”Tricked?” No, what I have done, is not to deceive, but to scheme, to scheme! In these three years, the Sky Sect didn't dare to move against any of the other three sects. If he dared to move against the three sects, then the war would be brought forward! But, do you know the power behind the Sky Sect? ”

Qiu Xuan stood up and walked out of the house. There was a peach tree outside the house, and it was filled with spirit energy. Although it was not the season for peach blossoms to bloom, it was still filled with flowers and the fragrance filled the room. The fragrance also attracted a lot of butterflies dancing in the air. If it wasn't for the fact that there was only a single peach tree, then it would be a place filled with life and death.

It's a pity that Qiu Xuan is the same as me, not a happy person. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, in front of us right now, it's no different from a barren mountain of rocks. But what surprises me is, Qiu Xuan's eyes revealed a rare trace of tenderness as she looked at the butterflies dancing in the sky.

Butterfly, the sword technique he passed down to me was also called 'Falling Butterfly'. What was the relationship between the butterfly and Qiu Xi?

”The power behind the Sky Sect is called the Empyrean Terminus Sect, and it is also another Celestial Sect.” Qiu Xuan slowly spoke, and the tenderness in his eyes instantly dispersed. Once again, it became as deep as the depths of hell.

”In that case, the Celestial Sect of Wonders is the chess piece that the Empyrean Terminus Sect placed under the ground. If this chess piece is pulled out, would the Empyrean Terminus Sect dare to pursue this matter?”

Qiu Xuan shook his head. ”That might not be the case. Moreover, the strength of the Empyrean Terminus Sect is much greater than what you can imagine.” With the strength of the three great sects together with us, we can't say for sure whether we'll be able to win this war. ”

”Then tell me, once I enter the fake heaven, is it possible to kill Qiu Xi?”

”It was because Qiu Xi was not the same as now. The Sky Sect changed tremendously in the past two years. Even my power was on the verge of collapse.”
