Chapter 2090: Chapter 2090: Yin Yang Heavenly Pool, Nether River Abyss

On Qingcheng Mountain.

Qingcheng Old Daoist stroked his beard as he glanced at Ning Chenxin and the others, saying, "Oh, back already? Is that rascal Han Shouyi out fooling around again?"

Gu You giggled, "You know Senior Brother Han’s nature."

Qingcheng Old Daoist shook his head helplessly, "Fine, let him be. You did really well this time. I didn’t choose the wrong person."

This sentence was directed at Ning Chenxin.

"Master is so biased!" Gu You pouted discontentedly on the side, "Don’t I also deserve a lot of credit?!"

Lu Mingyuan rolled his eyes, "We hadn’t even reached the border before you ran off somewhere. Now you want to take credit?"

Gu You slapped Qu Lv’s shoulder next to him, slightly raised his head, and beamed, "Didn’t I bring Brother Qu over? If it weren’t for me bringing Brother Qu here, Junior Brother Ning would be in danger!"

Ning Chenxin chuckled silently and then cupped his hands towards Gu You, "I must thank Senior Sister Gu for that."

Gu You exclaimed, "See, see, how understanding our little Junior Brother is!" Gu You patted Ning Chenxin’s shoulder in praise, "You’re so much better than some heartless Senior Brothers. Very good, very good! I’ll watch over you here on Qingcheng Mountain!"

"Alright, alright, enough nonsense." Qingcheng Old Daoist flicked Gu You’s forehead in annoyance, then looked towards Qu Lv, "How’s the investigation going?"

Qu Lv shook his head slightly, "The Holy Sect acts clandestinely and cautiously. Although they caused quite a stir this time, their base still hasn’t been revealed."

Ning Chenxin was slightly taken aback, "Senior Brother was already investigating the Holy Sect before this?"

Qu Lv nodded, "Master has long noticed the Holy Sect’s revival, traces of it existed decades ago, but we haven’t managed to catch its tail."

Qingcheng Old Daoist spat lightly, "Hmph, otherwise how could a mere Kuyun Sect old daoist like myself personally go there; the evil cultivators’ incident there was also the doing of the Holy Sect."

Ning Chenxin was about to ask something but suddenly paused.

Qu Lv noticed and asked, "What’s the matter?"

Ning Chenxin asked, "Nether River Abyss... Yin-Yang Heavenly Pool?"

Qingcheng Old Daoist paused, his expression slightly solemn, asking, "As someone from the lower realm, how do you know about these two places?"

...

Meanwhile, at the Surveillance Sanctuary.

As Ye Qiubai and the others returned, the achievements of their mission became known throughout the sanctuary.

For a time, discussions were rife.

Everyone was amazed at how Ye Qiubai and the others managed to handle such a level of mission.

Know that missions of this level were only accessible to inspector-level individuals, not the younger generation of inspectors like Qin Zhao and Yang Shao.

Even as newcomers, they reached such heights, dissipating the disdain the sanctuary held for Ye Qiubai and the others.

In the end, strength is paramount.

People forget your origins when you’re strong...

After reporting the details of the incident, Ye Qiubai and the others returned to their cave residence to rest.

Hong Ying summoned Ye Qiubai, Mu Fusheng, and Jiu Bailu to her cave.

Of course, Chu Yan couldn’t enter as Yang Shao was leading him on a tour.

"Nether River Abyss, Yin-Yang Heavenly Pool?" Xu Yeming frowned, "Who tipped you with this information?"

Hong Ying shook her head, "Seeing how they chose to inform me so discreetly, naturally they wish to keep their identity hidden."

"Didn’t Chu Yan and He Mengshen say before that they were transferred to the six worlds through the Yin-Yang Heavenly Pool?" Mu Fusheng lowered his eyebrows slightly, seemingly contemplating something, and after a moment of thought, pondered, "When your side encountered trouble, the sanctuary intended to send reinforcements... but then, it heard of issues at the Nether River Abyss, deploying considerable force there."

Ye Qiubai added, "The former Crown Prince of Ba Nan Divine Kingdom was ambushed and had his cultivation abolished at the Nether River Abyss."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Bailu frowned, "There seems to be a connection..."

Too strange.

Nether River Abyss, Yin-Yang Heavenly Pool.

The former Crown Prince of Ba Nan Divine Kingdom suffered an ambush there which crippled his cultivation.

This information also originated from Ba Nan Divine Kingdom.

How can these pieces of information be linked together?

Mu Fusheng asked, "Is there any more information?"

Hong Ying replied, "According to the information, the Nether River Abyss is the key to opening the Yin-Yang Heavenly Pool, urging us to go to the Nether River Abyss."

"The information is too scant." Ye Qiubai shook his head, "And we haven’t verified its authenticity."

Mu Fusheng sighed slightly, "Based on my collected information, the Nether River Abyss suppresses a terrifying existence; recklessly going there is very dangerous, which doesn’t quite fit our current plans."

Suddenly.

Ning Chenxin’s voice message came through, "What if it’s related to the Holy Sect?"

Holy Sect?

Everyone was taken aback.

Ning Chenxin continued, "This is just my guess; we have barely interacted with many people since arriving at Fuyao Realm. After handling the Holy Sect issue, we immediately received this information in Ba Nan Divine Kingdom, and this information was specifically directed to Second Senior Sister.

And Second Senior Sister happened to showcase significant strength during this repulsion of the Holy Sect... perhaps the sender trusted you because of your performance in this event; otherwise, I can’t fathom why someone would send this information specifically to Second Senior Sister... Unless the sender is familiar with us, but such a critical place like the Treasure Pavilion, I assume external powers cannot easily infiltrate."

Upon hearing this.

Everyone paused, sinking into silent reflection.

Indeed.

Only Ning Chenxin’s explanation made sense.

Though unproven, it was very reasonable.

"Didn’t Chu Yan and He Mengshen transfer to the six worlds via the Yin-Yang Heavenly Pool? But you know the six worlds are now in a sealed state; the Yin-Yang Heavenly Pool might have a kind of spatial Holy Artifact." Ye Qiubai pondered aloud.

"Should we go then?" Xu Yeming asked.

Mu Fusheng shook his head, "We should refrain from acting rashly; we haven’t confirmed the truthfulness of this information yet. Moreover, whether it’s the terrifying entity suppressed by the Nether River Abyss or the Holy Sect... at our current realm, I’m afraid we can’t confront them head-on.

If we cause another huge commotion now, the Surveillance Sanctuary will inevitably probe our identities thoroughly; this incident likely has various forces investigating it.

Furthermore, we have no valid reason to visit the Nether River Abyss; you must know, our every move is under the sanctuary’s surveillance."

The moment the words ended.

Qin Zhao’s voice rang outside.

"Everyone, it seems rest is not an option; the Hall Master has requested your presence."

Hearing this, Jiu Bailu glanced at Mu Fusheng, who was frozen in expression, and chuckled softly, "Look, a reason delivered right to us?"
