After the battle with Chasing Famine, Qin Yu had asked Ye Kong to inquire about Sheng Yifan of the Exalted Immortal Sect and secretly keep an eye on him. Once the time was right, Ye Kong would be controlled.
Back then, Qin Yu had heard rumors about Sheng Yifan on his way to the Flying Dragon Ancient City. It was said that Sheng Yifan had obtained a great fortune and learned a great ability.
Qin Yu guessed that Sheng Yifan's great ability was very likely related to Wang Ziqian. Back then, Wang Ziqian and Liu Tianming had died suddenly in the Flying Dragon Ancient City, cutting off all clues about the golden iron scroll.
Now that Sheng Yifan had suddenly obtained a great ability, Qin Yu guessed that it might be related to the golden iron scroll. Although it was just a guess, Qin Yu wanted to check it out. After all, it was the only clue.
In a mountain range three hundred miles north of Zhulu City, Qin Yu took out the black robe he had obtained from the corpse of the Heaven Burying Awl in the Primordial Battlefield. Although there was a hole in the back of the black robe, the power of the laws on it was extremely rich.
Although Qin Yu couldn't feel it back then, he could now clearly feel the terror of the laws on it. Even though the palm had made a hole in it, it hadn't completely destroyed the laws on it.
It was no wonder that Chen Gou and Tang Daozi of the Little Sumeru Heaven were scared half to death when they saw the black robe.
"There's still some time before the quota contest. Let's see if I can study the laws on the black robe!"
Qin Yu thought. He had forgotten about it back then. Now that he took out the black robe again and discovered the laws on it, Qin Yu couldn't help but be a little tempted.
Qin Yu planned to study the laws on the black robe properly after he arrived at the land of fortune. It would be best if he could repair the black hole on it.
He put on the black robe again and returned to the appearance of the mysterious expert in the Causal Daoist's space.
After Qin Yu donned the black robe, Ye Kong's gaze towards Qin Yu was filled with shock. It was as though he had never thought that Qin Yu would actually possess such a terrifying black robe. Although the black robe was already damaged, the aura it emitted caused Ye Kong to feel incomparably fearful.
Qin Yu might not know yet. When he was in the Dao Realm, he couldn't see anything special about the black robe. When he was in the Immortal Realm, he could feel that the robe was extraordinary. However, what he didn't know was that when he was in the Sage Realm, he had a different feeling when he saw the robe.
"Here!"
While Qin Yu was pondering, Ye Kong waved his right hand, and removed the Concealment Enchantment that had shrouded the front. However, he saw a vulture-like black-robed youth sitting cross-legged in a light curtain.
As though he had sensed Qin Yu and Ye Kong, the black-robed youth suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards Qin Yu. When he saw the black robe that Qin Yu was wearing, the black-robed youth's pupils involuntarily contracted. Although he concealed it well, it didn't escape Qin Yu's eyes.
Qin Yu just happened to pounce on the black-robed youth. He narrowed his eyes and directly entered the light curtain, landing in front of the black-robed youth. After carefully sizing up the black-robed youth, Qin Yu said indifferently, "You're called Sheng Yifan, right?
Do you know why I brought you here? "
"Why?" The black-robed youth, Sheng Yifan, asked in a low voice.
"Hand it over," Qin Yu said indifferently.
"Hand over what?" Sheng Yifan's face revealed a puzzled expression.
"On account of the fact that we both escaped from that place, don't force me to attack you!" Qin Yu said in a hoarse voice.
Seeing that Sheng Yifan was still expressionless, Qin Yu calmly said, "This old man will remind you once. The golden iron scroll has ten breaths of time. If you don't give this old man an answer, this old man will personally examine all of your memories."
Sheng Yifan's expression finally changed. He looked at Qin Yu with uncertainty. Sheng Yifan took a deep breath and said, "Senior … that metal scroll is not in my hands."
"Who has it?" Qin Yu narrowed his eyes. His mind was racing as he tried to figure it out.
Seeing Sheng Yifan's expression, Qin Yu seemed to have thought of something. He stared at Sheng Yifan with sparkling eyes and said, "I remember that you are called Chen Gou, right?"
Sheng Yifan's body trembled violently. He looked at Qin Yu in horror and said, "Senior … I …"
"That metal scroll is in your master's hands?" Qin Yu had a smile on his face.
This was really a pleasant surprise.
At first, Qin Yu guessed that Sheng Yifan had taken a fancy to Wang Ziqian's golden metal scroll and wanted to silence him. However, he did not expect Sheng Yifan to be an "acquaintance".
From the change in Sheng Yifan's eyes when he first saw him, Qin Yu guessed Sheng Yifan's true identity. That was because Sheng Yifan recognized him at first sight. More accurately, he recognized his black robes.
Although many people had seen the black robes in the past, not many people were as frightened as Sheng Yifan when he saw them.
Hence, Qin Yu immediately thought of Chen Gou and Tang Daozi. From Sheng Yifan's expression, Qin Yu felt that it was more likely that Sheng Yifan was the Chen Clan's young master. The Immortal Demon Sacred Sect's young master, Chen Gou, was more likely.
That was because when Chen Gou had stared at him in the Primordial Battlefield, Qin Yu had shouted at him to stop. At that time, Tang Daozi had brought Chen Gou to apologize to Qin Yu.
That was why Chen Gou had been so afraid of Qin Yu ever since. That was why he'd felt fear at first sight of the black robes.
When he thought of this, Qin Yu could more or less guess the whole story. It seemed that Wang Ziqian and Liu Tianming hadn't lied to him. There really was a mysterious person present, and that mysterious person was most likely Tang Daozi!
Sensing that someone was looking for him, Tang Daozi had killed Wang Ziqian and Liu Tianming to prevent future trouble.
If he hadn't accidentally overheard about Sheng Yifan's story, his plan would've been flawless. He would never have known who had taken the golden metal scroll.
"Your master is in the Exalted Immortal Sect?" Qin Yu stared at the pale-faced Sheng Yifan — no, Chen Gou.
Chen Gou took a deep breath and looked deeply into Qin Yu's eyes. "Senior, my master isn't in the Exalted Immortal Sect right now. He only stayed for a short while before leaving. He said he was going to travel the nine immortal realms!"
Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was enough that he had concrete information about the golden metal scroll.
As for Tang Daozi …
As long as he was in the Nine Immortal Realms, Qin Yu was confident that he could find him!
Suppressing his thoughts, Qin Yu stared at Chen Gou. "This old man believes in you!
If you meet your master one day, tell him to return the iron scroll to this old man, and I'll let bygones be bygones! "
With that, Qin Yu turned and left, Ye Kong close behind.
As for whether Chen Gou was telling the truth or not, Qin Yu didn't intend to pursue the matter now. After all, so what if Tang Daozi was in the Exalted Immortal Sect?
Was he supposed to go to the Exalted Immortal Sect now?
Besides, he couldn't do anything to Chen Gou right now. Only by using Chen Gou would he be able to lure Tang Daozi out, whether he was in Zhulu City or the Exalted Immortal Sect …
