Chapter 15 The Truth Revealed

In the end, Daoist Ziyun summoned Ye Sanfu, and the reality was just as Chen Xiao had guessed.

The one who had given the Hunkun Bracelet to Li Miaozhen before was not the real Ye Sanfu. At that time, he was busy with other matters, and there were disciples who could testify.

"Alright, that's all for you. You may leave."

Daoist Ziyun waved his hand, dismissing Ye Sanfu.

A look of confusion appeared in Ye Sanfu's eyes, with obvious doubts. He clearly wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to. In the end, he had no choice but to respectfully withdraw.

He didn't dare to ask, but that didn't mean Li Miaozhen didn't dare: "Master, Holy Son, what exactly is going on? If that person just now wasn't Steward Ye, then who was he?"

"Miaozhen, you're not young anymore, it's time to mature. Some things, you shouldn't ask about. It's best to pretend they never happened."

Daoist Ziyun said cryptically.

"But, Master, I..."

Li Miaozhen frowned, wanting to say something more.

Daoist Ziyun's almond eyes widened, and she said in a clear, cold voice, "I said, don't ask about this matter anymore. If there's nothing else, leave!"

"Okay..."

Li Miaozhen pouted aggrievedly, then muttered, "What about Holy Son, Senior Brother?"

"The Holy Son and I have other things to discuss. You go first."

Daoist Ziyun asked Li Miaozhen to leave for the third time. Li Miaozhen didn't dare to say any more nonsense, and reluctantly muttered, "Oh, this disciple understands."

After saying that, she withdrew.

However, after Li Miaozhen left, Chen Xiao asked with a smile, "There's no need to make it sound so mysterious, right? It doesn't seem like a big deal."

Daoist Ziyun's expression suddenly turned a little unpleasant, and she said reproachfully, "I'm just too lazy to waste my breath on her... Besides, this little girl's look in your eyes is a little strange."

Chen Xiao's heart tightened, and he explained awkwardly, "She's probably just infatuated with her Holy Son, Senior Brother. It has nothing to do with me."

Saying so, Chen Xiao secretly complained in his heart: "Alas, this damned charm of mine!"

"Hmph, I've raised her myself, I know her best. Just by looking at her eyes, I know what she's thinking."

Daoist Ziyun said in a clear, cold voice, making Chen Xiao even more guilty.

Fortunately, Daoist Ziyun didn't continue to talk about this matter.

Because she was confident that Li Miaozhen had no competitiveness compared to her.

"What do you think about this matter?"

Daoist Ziyun stopped digressing and returned to the topic.

This happened to suit Chen Xiao's wishes. He held out four fingers and said lightly, "After looking at it, I only see four words—making a mystery!"

"You mean to say that Chen Sihai is making a mystery?"

Daoist Ziyun asked.

"Yes!"

Chen Xiao nodded. "The purpose of his visit this time is just to have us go to the Immortal Emperor Temple to find the things he left behind... There's no need for him to make it so complicated, impersonating Ye Sanfu and controlling Li Miaozhen."

"All he's doing is creating a mystery, plunging us into a fog, thereby enhancing his sense of mystery, and making us wary of him psychologically."

Daoist Ziyun hadn't thought of this, but recalling Chen Xiao's angry appearance just now, it seemed very different from now.

At this moment, Chen Xiao had regained his calm, reason, and even a hint of cunning.

"You weren't as calm just now."

Daoist Ziyun casually remarked.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly: "Because while he was confusing me, I was also confusing him. The persona I'm projecting in front of him is that as soon as I see him, I'll fly into a rage and lose my mind..."

Hearing this, Daoist Ziyun couldn't help but rub her forehead: "The game between you father and son is really dazzling!"

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at Daoist Ziyun, who covered her mouth and laughed, her body shaking.

"Stop laughing, let's go to the Immortal Emperor Temple."

Chen Xiao said unhappily.

"Huh? You're really going? Chen Sihai clearly has no good intentions, why listen to him?"

Daoist Ziyun asked in confusion.

"No matter what his intentions are, we have to go and see what he left behind."

Chen Xiao said seriously.

"Well, that makes sense. Give me your hand!"

As she spoke, Daoist Ziyun stretched out her slender jade hand to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao put his hand over, and the two held hands tightly. In the next second, a stream of light flashed, and the two disappeared into the main hall.

Chen Xiao only felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes. When he regained his vision, he saw a temple that was grand but dilapidated.

The high-quality blue bricks and green tiles showed its glory, but the weeds growing on the walls indicated that no one had cleaned it for a long time, and it was even rarely visited.

"Is this the Immortal Emperor Temple? Why is it so dilapidated?"

Chen Xiao asked in confusion.

Daoist Ziyun shook her head helplessly: "Without popularity, it will naturally slowly decay."

"But isn't this the Immortal Emperor Temple of the Eternal Immortal Emperor?"

Chen Xiao asked in confusion.

"That's right, the Immortal Emperor refers to the Eternal Immortal Emperor."

Daoist Ziyun nodded, affirming Chen Xiao's statement.

"Then why is there no popularity, no one to clean it? Aren't the Heaven, Earth, and Human Sects all descendants of the Eternal Immortal Emperor?"

Chen Xiao asked in confusion.

"We are indeed descendants of the Eternal Immortal Emperor, but I think there's one thing you should be very clear about, right?"

Daoist Ziyun suddenly asked seriously.

"What is it?"

Chen Xiao asked.

"The Eternal Immortal Emperor has already fallen."

Daoist Ziyun said with a sigh. After leaving these words, she walked towards the willow tree.

Chen Xiao suddenly understood.

The purpose of people building temples and worshiping statues is to pray for blessings and to receive protection.

But the Eternal Immortal Emperor has fallen, which means that his disciples and grandchildren can no longer receive protection and blessings from him.

Therefore, being able to build a temple for him is already benevolent and righteous. As for worship, it's best to save it, mainly depending on personal mood.

Humans are so realistic, always putting practicality first.

If you are useless, even if you were once a supreme Immortal Emperor, it is useless.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao also sighed helplessly, just like Daoist Ziyun.

Then, he followed Daoist Ziyun's footsteps and walked towards the willow forest.

"The third big willow tree from the left, this is the one!"

Daoist Ziyun pointed to a willow tree and said.

This willow tree was extremely thick, and its trunk required at least three people to hug it, indicating that it must have been around for many years.

However, this kind of ancient willow tree does not receive much respect.

After all, this is the Immortal Concealment Realm, where even humans can live for more than six hundred years.

A mere big willow tree that has lived for hundreds of years is nothing.

There was fresh soil next to the tree, indicating that someone had dug something here not long ago.

Chen Xiao coldly complained, "This work is pretty rough!"

Then he took out the Yitian Sword and began to dig.

The Yitian Sword vibrated, making a buzzing sound like a mobile phone.

Obviously, possessing its own consciousness, it could not accept doing this kind of rough work! It was buzzing and protesting!

I am the dignified Yitian Sword, and you're using me to dig a hole? It's outrageous! It's too damaging to the position of a magic weapon!

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao was the master, and its protest was invalid.

But fortunately, Chen Xiao didn't use it to dig for too long, and its position didn't receive too much damage.

After digging about three feet deep, Chen Xiao found what he was looking for.

What Chen Sihai left behind was a brocade box.

Chen Xiao took out the brocade box, blew away the floating soil on it, and opened the lid.

Inside was a jade bracelet that was so red it was almost black, and it was no different from the jade bracelet that was worn on Li Miaozhen's hand and controlled her before.

Chen Xiao and Daoist Ziyun exchanged glances.

Daoist Ziyun curled her lips and snorted coldly, "Hmph, as I expected, this Chen Sihai really has no good intentions. Is this his so-called method?"

Chen Sihai's purpose was clear at a glance.

His so-called method of obtaining the approval of the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man was to have Chen Xiao wear the jade bracelet and then be controlled by him...

And then, he would naturally have a way to gain the approval of the three books.

After all, he had already had a successful experience.

"Hehe, this bastard really has a good plan!"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao put away the Hunkun Bracelet.

Seeing this scene, Daoist Ziyun couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why are you putting this bracelet away? You're really planning to be controlled by him to open the Holy Treasure Platform?"

Chen Xiao said ambiguously, "I'm determined to get the God-Slaying Sword. If it really comes to that, this may not be a bad solution."

Daoist Ziyun frowned: "The Holy Treasure Platform is in the Treasure Pavilion, and even I can't go in with you. Since he gave you the jade bracelet, I'm afraid he has a way to abduct you after you get the God-Slaying Sword!"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly: "I understand what he means. He's just provoking me. This is an open scheme. He's seeing if I dare to accept this challenge!"

"Anyway, unless it's absolutely necessary, you must not wear the jade bracelet. I think that Chen Sihai is too strange!"

Daoist Ziyun pouted, and there was even a bit of a young woman's posture in her words.

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly: "Ziyun, have you forgotten something? You and I became Daoist partners in order to cooperate, and the purpose of our cooperation is to overthrow those who are holding high positions in the Immortal Concealment Realm and doing nothing, those who do not resist. If we can't even bear this little risk, I don't think I'm qualified to be your partner!"

"That was before, not now!"

After saying that, Daoist Ziyun suddenly threw herself into Chen Xiao's arms, buried her head in Chen Xiao's chest, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't care about cooperation or no cooperation, and I don't want to care about resisting or not resisting... Now, I only hope that you can live safely!"
