Wu Shattered Star River

At Destiny Mountain, Mu Qingchen hurried into the back mountain.

Underneath an old tree in the back mountain's old Taoist temple, Zheng Yi Dao Ren was alone, drinking tea and playing chess.

Seeing Mu Qingchen rushing in, he said sternly, "Qingchen, you are now the young sect leader, not a child anymore. A young sect leader should have the demeanor and composure of one."

Mu Qingchen, though lectured, didn't pay it any mind. She urgently asked, "Grand Ancestor, Jiang Han was ambushed and captured by the Dark Dao? Do you know about this?"

"I know!"

Zheng Yi Dao Ren said calmly, "Before he set off for the Island of Life, he came to Destiny Mountain once and asked me to divine his future. I foresaw that he would face a great calamity this time."

"Ah?"

Mu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then said, "Since you knew he would face a calamity, why didn't you warn him?"

"Why are you so anxious?"

Zheng Yi Dao Ren looked at Mu Qingchen with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and said, "Have you fallen for Jiang Han? Are you worried about him? Do you want to marry into the Jiang family?"

"What are you talking about?"

Mu Qingchen's fair face instantly turned as red as blood. She glared at Zheng Yi Dao Ren and said, "Grand Ancestor, Jiang Han and I are just friends. Is it wrong for me to ask about a friend in trouble? You, you…"

"Heh heh!"

Seeing Mu Qingchen so flustered, Zheng Yi Dao Ren stroked his long beard and smiled. "I told him at the time, but he still chose to go. Don't worry too much, he shouldn't die this time. Although there is misfortune, it is not a fatal calamity."

"Uh…"

A look of disbelief appeared on Mu Qingchen's face as she asked, "He was captured by the experts of the Dark Dao and is probably already inside. Who can save him now? Even if the Pei family's Clan King personally led a team to rescue him, it would be too late, right?"

Zheng Yi Dao Ren shook his head and said, "It cannot be said, it cannot be spoken!"

Mu Qingchen knew that too many secrets of heaven could not be revealed. She turned her eyes and asked, "How did the Dark Dao set up the arrangement at the Eternal Life Heaven? Could it be that the Gate of Life and the Dark Dao have joined forces? Has the Gate of Life taken a side?"

"Heh heh!"

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Yi Dao Ren's mouth. He said, "That old fox Yu Tianxiu likes to bet on both sides. This time, it seems like he didn't get involved, but Yu Tianyi was bought off. He even issued a notice to deal with Yu Tianyi, but it's likely that he tacitly approved it."

"Heh heh!"

Zheng Yi Dao Ren said with a smile, "It's too early to talk about taking a side now, the situation hasn't completely clarified yet, but I have already started making arrangements. You will know later!"

"Arrangements?"

Mu Qingchen's eyes narrowed slightly as she said, "Jiang Han is the chess piece you laid out, right? Am I also a chess piece?"

Zheng Yi Dao Ren picked up a white chess piece and said, "All living beings are like chess pieces, who isn't a chess piece? Do you think I can be a chess player?"

Mu Qingchen seemed thoughtful. She looked up at the sky above her head and said, "Then are those eight above chess players?"

Zheng Yi Dao Ren threw the white piece into the chess container and said, "Half of them, perhaps. Don't ask so much, go cultivate. If there are any developments on Jiang Han's side, I will have someone notify you."

"Half?"

Mu Qingchen's eyes narrowed slightly, then she didn't ask anything more. She bowed and retreated.

After Mu Qingchen left, Zheng Yi Dao Ren sighed slightly and said, "This great change, everyone is looking for a way out. One wrong step, and it could be eternal damnation. But Yu Tianxiu, you may have made the wrong choice this time…"

…

The news of Jiang Han's capture spread to Destiny Mountain, and naturally also to the Light Assembly.

The news came from the Gate of Life. Yu Tianxiu personally spoke to the Pei family's Clan King, saying that he had not disciplined his subordinates strictly, and a traitor had emerged. Yu Tianyi was bought off by the Dark Dao and secretly helped the Kan Clan set up a plan to capture Jiang Han.

Yu Tianxiu had already dealt with Yu Tianyi, revoking all his positions and imprisoning him for ten thousand years.

In addition, Yu Tianxiu also arranged for the巡天使 (Patrol Emissary) to descend to the lower realm to severely punish the Yema Clan. He also said that he had sent a message to the Dark Dao, trying to preserve Jiang Han's life…

Yu Tianxiu was very skillful.

For the sake of one Jiang Han, he dealt with a Dao Ancestor Realm Ninth Level expert, and personally sent a letter expressing his apology. He seemed to have done everything perfectly.

However, after receiving the news, the Pei family's Clan King sneered. Such a big matter, he didn't believe that Yu Tianyi dared to make the decision on his own? If he really made the decision on his own, wouldn't that be no different from betraying the Gate of Life?

If it was a betrayal, why didn't Yu Tianyi escape to the Dark Dao? Moreover, the punishment was only imprisonment for ten thousand years? All major forces treat traitors with zero tolerance.

However, since Yu Tianxiu had completely distanced himself from the matter and put on a good show, the Pei family's Clan King couldn't say anything.

He summoned Ancestor Xu and asked about the specific situation. After asking, he said, "Tianxu, how was this plan set up? Where do you think the problem lies?"

Ancestor Xu had no reason to harm Jiang Han, so he consulted with Ancestor Xu.

Ancestor Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Clan King, do you suspect Tianfan?"

The Pei family's Clan King didn't call Ancestor Fan to discuss, and asking where the problem lies indicates that he suspected Ancestor Fan.

After all, Jiang Han went to the Eternal Life Heaven because of a piece of information. This information was spread by Du Yun and verified by Ancestor Fan. Now, Du Yun and Ancestor Fan are both suspects.

The Dark Dao doesn't have a heaven-defying expert like Zheng Yi Dao Ren who can divine the secrets of heaven. How could the Dark Dao have known in advance that Jiang Han would go to the Eternal Life Heaven?

They had to set up a plan, communicate with Yu Tianyi, and contact the Yema Clan.

If the Dark Dao couldn't foresee the future, then there was only one possibility: the information from the Eternal Life Heaven was part of the Dark Dao's plan. Then, Du Yun and Ancestor Fan were both suspects.

The Pei family's Clan King said, "I'm not suspecting. Before the matter is investigated clearly, we must be cautious."

Ancestor Xu said, "I think Tianfan should be fine. He has no reason to betray. The problem should be with Du Yun."

"Du Yun should be an internal spy. In addition, Du Yun's memory may have been modified by an expert, so Ancestor Fan explored his memory and found that there was indeed this information in his memory…"

"I remember that there is a clan in the Dark Dao called the Night Soul Clan. Their Clan King has the ability to modify memories?"

"Feng Yu!"

The Pei family's Clan King shouted in a deep voice, "Go bring Du Yun here, and be careful not to let him die!"

"Yes!"

A shadow flashed and floated out of the palace. The Pei family's Clan King and Ancestor Xu waited silently in the hall, both pondering the matter.

After a moment, the shadow returned, bringing back a corpse.

He threw the corpse into the hall and said respectfully, "Clan King, he was already dead when I arrived, and he died by self-detonating his soul!"

"Hmm?"

A cold light flashed in the Pei family's Clan King's eyes. He stood up, walked to the front of the corpse, and reached out his hand to cover the corpse's head to sense it.

After a moment, he snorted coldly and said, "A soul imprint should have been planted in his soul. Summon… Tianfan!"

"How did he explore Du Yun's soul in the first place? He couldn't even detect the imprint planted in Du Yun's soul? This king needs an explanation!"

Ancestor Xu's expression became solemn. His eyes flickered, and a question arose in his heart.

Could it be that Ancestor Fan really has a problem?
