Chapter 311 Ye Tianxin’s Secret
Ye Zhixing was shocked .
Si Wuya had always been careful . Even when some things were obvious, he would always demand evidence . However, this matter regarding Jiang Aijian was different . At this point, even without concrete evidence, he was rather certain Jiang Aijian was the Third Prince .
“During one of the feuds in the palace, the Second Prince torched Jinghe Palace to get rid of those who opposed him . Thousands of lives were burned to cinders, but Liu Chen’s body was never found . He must have managed to escape at that time,” Si Wuya said with his hands on his back .
“Perhaps, he was burned into ashes?” Ye Zhixing wondered .
Si Wuya remained silent . It was possible but improbable .
Jinghe Palace’s Liu Chen was a cultivator, after all . If there had not been a puppet master behind the scene, this would not have been the result .
“Continue the investigation . ”
“Understood . ” Ye Zhixing bowed . “Sect master, Miss Fifth is still looking after the Empress Dowager in the palace and has yet to return to the Evil Sky Pavilion . I’m worried that Mo Li will act against her . ”
“Think of a way to persuade her to return . ”
“But…”
“Don’t swallow your words . ” Si Wuya frowned . When information was lacking, his judgment would not be as accurate .
Ye Zhixing bowed and said, “The Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, had triumphantly returned to the palace . The Second Prince invited him on a hunt at the enclosure in Rongbei as a welcoming gesture . I’m worried that the Empress Dowager and Miss Fifth will head to Rongbei as well . The Emperor has given approval for the Empress Dowager to go out and get some fresh air . ”
“Rongbei is a good place . ” Si Wuya turned to look in Rongbei’s direction . He looked at the sun in the sky and continued to say, “The Second Prince is ambitious . His desire is to rule . Liu Bing has military achievements under his belt, and he’s attracting support . Naturally, the Second Prince is guarded against him . ”
Ye Zhixing remained silent .
Si Wuya said, “Miss Fifth is also a member of the Imperial family…” .
“That’s what I’m worried about . ” “When’s the hunt?”
“When autumn and winter switch . About three months from now . ”
The Fourth Prince, the Third Prince, the Second Prince… and the princess who suddenly reappeared . Everyone was accounted for .
When autumn and winter were mentioned, Si Wuya was slightly filled with emotions . In the Brahman Sea Eight Meridians or above, a cultivator would be almost immune to cold and heat in their surroundings . They would not feel anything during the change of the seasons . However, he had lost his cultivation base . Now that the end of autumn was drawing near, he was beginning to feel the drop in temperature . Si Wuya sighed and said, “If Jiang Aijian is really the Third Prince, he would look out for Fifth Senior Sister . Just to be safe, the Darknet will help . ” “Understood . ” Ye Zhixing cupped his fists and bowed . He respectfully retreated to the side .
At this moment, another gray-robed cultivator flew over .
He fell to one knee and said, “Sect master, Miss Sixth is here…”

Si Wuya appeared to be delighted . He walked out of the secluded hut . He stood outside and looked at the entrance . Perhaps, it was due to the building being located deep in the mountains, a thin layer of fog shrouded the entrance, slightly obscuring his vision .
White clothes, white hair, white shoes, white cape . She held a white umbrella aloft with her jade-like fingers as she walked over . Her steps were neither fast nor slow . She seemed like she was taking a leisurely stroll through the mist and across the field . The dew and impurities seemed unable to touch or taint her . This was Si Wuya’s Sixth Senior Sister, Ye Tianxin . She was also the Evil Sky Pavilion’s sixth disciple . “Si Wuya greets Sixth Senior Sister . ” Si Wuya cupped his fists .
Ye Tianxin looked at Si Wuya . She studied him for a moment before saying, “Seventh Junior Brother, what happened to your cultivation base?”
All this while, Ye Tianxin had been looking for a way to heal her wounds and recover her cultivation base . She had secretly kept an eye on the Evil Sky Pavilion and seldom paid attention to anything else .
Si Wuya smiled helplessly and said, “This is the work of our master’s Binding Mantra . ”
“Hm?” Ye Tianxin frowned slightly .
“It’s a misunderstanding . Eldest Senior Brother and I wanted to destroy the Clarity Sect, but we didn’t expect master to interfere . Out of helplessness, I could only lure master away . And… that’s how I accidentally got hit by master’s mantra . ”
Ye Tianxin’s face remained expressionless . She looked away from the handsome and scholarly Si Wuya and said, “It shouldn’t be difficult for you to undo the mantra with your abilities . ”
“There’s something you don’t know, Sixth Senior Sister… Master has absorbed the barrier’s power . His methods are shocking . Even a Daoist from the Celestial Masters Sect couldn’t undo this mantra . ” Si Wuya shook his head helplessly . Ye Tianxin was slightly stunned . She remembered when she last faced her master . Whether it was due to some Primal Fiend medicine or the barrier’s power, she had personally seen nine leaves under her master’s feet, ‘Did I imagine it?’
When Si Wuya saw Ye Tianxin lost in her thoughts, he called out, “Sixth Senior Sister?”

Ye Tianxin cleared her thoughts and said, “I’m alright . ”
“Since you left the Evil Sky Pavilion, have you recovered your cultivation base?” Si Wuya asked .
“Almost…” Ye Tianxin replied indifferently .
“What are your plans now, senior sister?” Si Wuya asked . Although he had asked it casually, it was a loaded question, and he was keenly interested in her answer . He wanted to know what Ye Tianxin’s relationship with the Evil Sky Pavilion was, especially after the incident with the Five Mice .
Ye Tianxin said, “I’m looking for something that might not even exist…”
Si Wuya smiled and said, “What are you looking for, senior sister? Perhaps, I can help you . ”
“You?”
“That’s right . The Darknet’s information network is spread throughout the lands . There’s no information that I cannot get,” Si Wuya said confidently .
Ye Tianxin studied Si Wuya again . She had not been in close contact with Si Wuya throughout the years since she left the Evil Sky Pavilion . She had heard about the Darknet’s information network as well . She finally said tonelessly, “The thing I’m looking for is called Cheng Huang . ”
“Cheng Huang?” Si Wuya frowned .

Ye Tianxin shook her head and smiled bitterly before she said, “Forget it . I’ll look for it on my own . There’s no need to trouble yourself over it . ”
“Senior sister…” When Si Wuya saw Ye Tianxin was leaving, he quickly walked over and barred her way . He cupped his fists and said, “It’s no trouble at all…”
“Hm?”
“The nation of the Fairfolk, people with white skin and hair, is north of the Dragon Fish . Cheng Huang is shaped like a fox with horns on its back . The person who’s able to ride it is said to be able to live for 2,000 years,” Si Wuya said as though he was reciting from a text he had memorized .
Ye Tianxin regarded Si Wuya with a complicated look in her eyes, “You know about Cheng Huang?” “After Wei Zhuoyan’s death, I ordered my men to investigate the incident at Measure Heaven River . During the investigation, we stumbled upon information on Cheng Huang,” Si Wuya sighed and said, “Apart from that, we found nothing else . ” His meaning was clear . If the Darknet could not find it, how would a single person be able to find it?
“Seventh Junior Brother, do you believe in the existence of the beasts?” Ye Tianxin asked .
“Well…”
The life limit had always been the main stumbling block for human cultivators . There had never been an exception to the life limit .
‘Ride it and live for 2,000 years . Isn’t that equivalent to overcoming the 1,000-year limit? Is that possible?’ Si Wuya asked, “Do you believe in them, Sixth Senior Sister?”
“I do . ” Ye Tianxin’s tone was firm .
This surprised Si Wuya slightly . He did not know where Ye Tianxin’s confidence came from, but her tone and determined gaze showed that she truly believed in it . Perhaps, she believed in it more than most people .
