Chapter 712: Ingeniously Beyond the Sky
"Is the rough location also uncertain?" the woman asked.
"About that, the rough location is Dark Moon City. Anyway... anyway, he hasn't left yet," Xiao Yun said, pursing her lips.
"..."
Liu Mingyue didn't know what her feelings were, excitement or exhilaration? Or perhaps a bit of slight disappointment. As for where this slight disappointment came from, she wasn't quite sure.
What she was sure of was that Tang Rao was the person she was looking for.
Since he knew about peach blossoms, he must have been to that place. Because only there are there peach blossoms; and only there is it called peach blossoms.
Earth Star...
That place, for the Land of Immortals, too small to be any smaller, too marginal to be any more marginal.
Even, within the lower realm where Earth Star is situated, almost nobody knows about this place.
But why didn't he mention it before? Liu Mingyue wondered in her heart. If Tang Rao came from Earth Star, he definitely would understand the language there.
"Could it be one of the ancient tribes?" Liu Mingyue muttered, Earth Star had a special situation, possibly due to its backwardness, its languages were diverse and there was no unified script.
Thus, sometimes, even across one river, the languages spoken could be entirely different.
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yun looked at Liu Mingyue.
"Nothing, have you found the place?" Liu Mingyue shook her head and looked at Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun pursed her lips and her pretty little nose quickly inhaled air, fluttering her hands as she spoke: "Don't rush, don't rush, I'll figure it out soon."
...
Jade Fragrance Pavilion, in the room adjacent to the one where Tang Rao and his group were, sat a few tough-looking men.
The atmosphere in the room seemed somewhat oppressive.
Hmm, three men were sitting, and one man was kneeling on one knee.
This obviously wasn't a marriage proposal; proposing couldn't be done like this, a man proposing to three other men at the same time, though same-sex love is true love, you can't really play like that.
"Lie Hu, is the intelligence credible?" Among the three seated men, the oldest-looking one spoke, his fingers lightly tapping on the table, his graying temples twitching.
"It can be confirmed, at least a 99% probability," said the man known as Lie Hu, who was the one kneeling.
"What do you think?" The old man with graying temples turned his head, looking toward the two men on his left and right.
"It's worth a try."
"If it's a flower from the Space Treasure, it's worth taking risks."
The two men exchanged glances, nodding their heads.
The old man with graying temples continued to tap his fingers on the table, seemingly unable to make a decision.
"Great Elder, such things are rare and hard to come by," said the man on the left, in his forties and with a commanding presence, clearly accustomed to high positions. His eyes were sharp, and his eyebrows pointed.
"Indeed rare," said the younger man on his right, who had a very scholarly look. At first glance, he looked a bit like He Kaoshan from back in the day, but he was even more profound and restrained.
"Kao Shan Sect... was once a top-level sect," the old man inhaled deeply and said, "I'm afraid of some accidents happening, and after all, Kao Shan Sect is under the jurisdiction of White Elephant Mountain, they wouldn't just sit by idly if things go awry."
"Kao Shan Sect alone can be handled discreetly. Besides, we're only after the Space Treasure, not to destroy the sect. If we handle it cleanly, absolutely nobody would notice," the sharp-eyed man said.
The Great Elder fell into silence, and after a long time, he turned to Lie Hu.
"Lie Hu, what is the situation with the Kao Shan Sect now?" the Great Elder asked.
"He Kaoshan has died. Now a person named Tang Rao has become the Sect Master of Kao Shan Sect. His specific strength is unknown, but he probably isn't even a Heavenly Immortal. He's a cultivator who has only recently ascended from the lower realm," Lie Hu replied.
"In that case... Lie Hu, send someone to probe first. Send a Quintuple Heavenly Immortal to scout the foundation." the Great Elder said.
It's always right to be cautious in everything.
"Yes, Great Elder, I understand," Lie Hu nodded, then stood up, "Then I'll take my leave first."
"Go ahead," the Great Elder waved his hand.
After Lie Hu left the private room, a sharp glint flashed in his cold eyes.
"Click!" The next moment, Lie Hu pushed open the door of the neighboring private room, which was where Tang Rao and the others were.
"Uh, buddy, did you walk into the wrong room?" Lu Jun called out to Lie Hu.
Tang Rao and the others also looked at Lie Hu.
"I didn't." Lie Hu shook his head, looking at Shi Pang.
"So, Lie Hu, is there anything you need?" Shi Pang asked, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Normally, Lie Hu wouldn't be so abrupt unless it was something urgent.
Lie Hu wasted no time, stepping forward and whispering into Shi Pang's ear.
Shi Pang's expression grew increasingly grim.
"I understand, I'll think it over and tell you my decision later. You go ahead first, don't arouse suspicion," Shi Pang nodded and said.
Lie Hu glanced at Tang Rao and the others, then left the room.
"Fatso, what's the matter?" After Lie Hu left, Tang Rao glanced at Shi Pang and asked, noticing his obvious change in expression. Clearly, Shi Pang was in trouble.
"Uh… it's nothing…" Shi Pang shook his head.
"Damn, Xiao Jun, let's go…" Tang Rao immediately stood up.
"No, no, no…" Shi Pang immediately grabbed Tang Rao, "This matter is a bit complicated, mainly because…"
"I've said before, if I'm in trouble you help me, and if you're in trouble, I help you. It hasn't been long and this happens… I know my strength is mediocre, but at least you could tell me, maybe I can help?" Tang Rao said.
"I want you to sit down first, it's not that I don't want to tell you, this matter involves a lot of things."
"One word, to say or not to say."
"I am the president of the Dark Moon Association…" Shi Pang smacked his lips, somewhat helplessly said.
What?
Tang Rao, Lu Jun, and A Ji all stunned for a moment, Shi Pang is the president of the Dark Moon Association? As for the dim-witted, he could never understand these things, just concentrating on drinking and eating.
"This is also a recent thing, I won't elaborate on the process. Anyway, I am now the president of the Dark Moon Association. Inside the association, many people are eyeing my position. They are thinking of killing me all the time. Now, there is a problem that could relate to the life or death of the Dark Moon Association..." Shi Pang spread his hands.
"Let's hear it," Tang Rao sat down.
"It's about the Space Treasure. I don't know from where the news leaked, but in a sect under the jurisdiction of White Elephant Mountain called Kao Shan Sect, there is a Space Treasure. As you know, these things are rare, so the Great Elder of the Dark Moon Association became interested and wants to seize this Space Treasure. Although Kao Shan Sect is weak in strength, it is still under White Elephant Mountain, and our Dark Moon Association belongs to another major power. If this act of snatching becomes public, it could be a fatal blow to the Dark Moon Association," Shi Pang said.
At this moment, Tang Rao's expression was completely astonished...
Damn, this situation, is also quite a coincidence.
