Chapter 240 Five Mountains Sect, Bamboo Mountain Seven Treasures! [Request for Monthly Votes!]_3
True Master Flying Eagle spoke in a somber tone, not saying much, "Everyone, please watch."
As he spoke.
Holding the Returning Light Divine Mirror, he illuminated the deserted island. The scenes that appeared, albeit blurred, showed everything from Sikong Qinglian and Lu Qingfeng's arrival, entering the cave dwelling, breaking the Array, and their clash over the treasure, to their eventual escape.
Although the faces and figures of the two figures were unclear, the Geng Jia Transformation Sky Brilliance Divine Needle unmistakably exposed Sikong Qinglian's identity, coupled with the encounter of the Black and White Dual Truth, it thus became clear who both individuals were.
The crowd watched.
Until Lu Qingfeng plunged into the sea and Sikong Qinglian escaped from the deserted island, then the images disappeared.
"So, there was no third person on the island; it turns out it was Rain Mountain Pavilion Master who battled with Sikong Qinglian!"
Green Cloud True Man displayed a trace of surprise on her face.
She and Lei Yi had sensed the battle from afar, originally thinking it was some True Master battling with Sikong Qinglian, while Lu Qingfeng was merely an onlooker or aligned with Sikong Qinglian.
Unexpectedly, it was the two of them fighting each other.
As for why, when they arrived, the two seemed to be allies, apparently due to an agreement reached in the cave dwelling after their conflict.
"This Rain Mountain Pavilion Master—"
"His mastery of the Array is profound, capable of matching Sikong Qinglian in the Spirit Void Fusion Realm, this individual's talent is truly startling!"
Zhu Lingzi also exclaimed, his eyes showing admiration.
"The treasure in the cave dwelling emitted a light from the Five Yangs, likely one of the Bamboo Mountain Seven Treasures, the Five Yang Sword, which now is in the hands of Rain Mountain Pavilion Master. As for the hundred stone pillars—"
Wu Gong looked at True Master Flying Eagle, "Can it be clearer?"
Although Lei Yi and Green Cloud True Man provided enough information to allow True Master Flying Eagle to derive a relatively complete visual sequence with the Returning Light Divine Mirror.
Still, the images were blurry, and everything relied on guessing.
Like the two hazy figures, if not for Black and White Dual Truth having seen it, everyone could only deduce Sikong Qinglian's identity from the Geng Jia Transformation Sky Brilliance Divine Needle, not figuring out Lu Qingfeng's identity.
The Five Yang Sword emitted intense heat, its radiant light flickered, recognizable by those who know.
But other scenes were extremely vague and hard to guess.
Upon hearing this, True Master Flying Eagle shook his head, "Sikong Qinglian was clearly cautious and obscured the traces. Being able to trace the complete sequence already hasn't been easy, this is all we can do."
His skill in glowing light trace was known in the Bamboo Mountain Sea Domain.
Sikong Qinglian was naturally no exception, having been well-prepared early on. It was only bad luck that she encountered Black and White Dual Truth, otherwise, if Sikong Qinglian had intentionally obscured the tracing, even if True Master Flying Eagle had gone, it would have been very difficult to retrieve such a complete trace.
"Sikong Qinglian."
"Indeed it's her temperament."
Wu Gong shook his head.
Having dealt with Sikong Qinglian for many years, Wu Gong understood quite well this Yv Mountain Island True Master who controls the Geng Jia Transformation Sky Brilliance Divine Needle.
However.
The issue capable of causing Sikong Qinglian and Lu Qingfeng to fallout and later reconcile over those hundred stone pillars surely wouldn't be simple. While guesses about the Five Yang Sword still held an eight or nine parts certainty, the multiple conjectures regarding these hundred stone pillars were completely baseless.
Zhu Lingzi also showed a hint of regret, "Among the Seven Treasures left by Bamboo Mountain Sect, the Dutian Xuanming Strategy is hidden in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion. The other Five Treasures each have their place; now that the Five Yang Sword has appeared, assembling the Six Treasures and opening the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion is imminent. It's a pity this Five Yang Sword appeared within our Five Mountains Sect realm, yet was seized by Yv Mountain Island."
Zhu Lingzi shook his head.
If they could have obtained the Five Yang Sword, their Five Mountains Sect would have had more leverage in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion.
"The Mud Plow Pearl is in my possession."
"The Hundred Ghosts Sect has the Hundred Ghosts Locking Yin Robe."
"Kongzhu Sect holds the Seven Treasures Green Bamboo Staff."
"Although Yv Mountain Island is a gathering of Loose Cultivators, they have taken the Five Yang Sword, the Geng Jia Transformation Sky Brilliance Divine Needle, and the Qianyan Fire Bamboo Sword."
Wu Gong calculated with his fingers.
The Bamboo Mountain Six Treasures, already each found their owners.
Just waiting for the Six Treasures to come together, they can locate Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion, beginning the inheritance of the Bamboo Mountain Sect.
"In Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion, hidden is the Dutian Xuanming Strategy, the first and most precious of the Seven Treasures. Besides this, the Four Great Array Maps outside of the Five Mountains True Form Map are also within the Immortal Mansion; if assembled, our Five Mountains Sect could definitely become the foremost Immortal Sect in the Bamboo Mountain Sea Domain, and even soon afterward, potentially ascend to be a side door Immortal Sect!"
Lei Yi's eyes shone, somewhat impatient.
Beside him, True Master Flying Eagle squinted and said, "The Five Yang Sword is now in Rain Mountain Pavilion Master's hands, and for some reason, Rain Mountain Pavilion Master and Sikong Qinglian are in cahoots. At this moment, he probably already occupies the fourteenth seat of Yv Mountain Island. With his Array and Water Technique expertise, trying to snatch the Five Yang Sword isn't realistic. We should prepare early, call back the True Masters who are away, and discuss a plan to enter Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion."
Wu Gong, Zhu Lingzi looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.
