Heaven Resisting Peak was really weak. He knew his own strength very well. He could scare ordinary people, but if he were to face a real Saint Realm expert, he would be exposed at any moment.
But if that was all, Imperial Heaven Peak would not be so scared. In fact, even Third Aunt did not know how much Imperial Heaven Peak feared Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly in the depths of his heart.
He was afraid of being bullied when he was young!
He was really bullied to the point that he was traumatized. Even though he saw Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly again after so many years, that fear did not lessen at all. Instead, it grew stronger as time passed.
When Imperial Heaven Peak first saw Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly, his footsteps were unsteady. Of course, it was not because he was tired, but because he was scared out of his wits.
… …
Half an hour later.
"Cousin, I've told you everything I know. Can I leave now?" Imperial Heaven Peak asked with a face full of anticipation.
He did not want to stay a moment longer, especially in such a gloomy place like the tomb. The past half an hour felt like a year, and it was incomparably torturous.
Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly waved her hand. "Go, but don't tell your mother. If she asks about our whereabouts, just say you don't know."
"Understood." Imperial Heaven Peak hurriedly left.
Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly turned around and asked Su Chen, "What do you think?"
"Imperial Heaven Peak's information seems very complicated, but it can be summarized into two points.
First, the direct cause of the Imperial Heaven Clan's disaster was the appearance of a traitor, allowing the enemy to easily invade the Immortal Dojo.
Second, this traitor is not your Third Aunt. It should be someone else. "
The reason was very simple. Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly's Third Aunt was not in the Boundless Sky Realm half a year ago. Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly and Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly returned after hearing the news. At that time, Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly had not been buried yet. It was Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly's Third Aunt who took the pressure to retrieve Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly's corpse and buried it in the Imperial Heaven Clan's tomb. Then, she took the opportunity to make Imperial Heaven Dream Butterfly the new head of the clan.
Third Aunt was indeed a vicious woman. She lured Meng Die back so that she could make Meng Die the scapegoat. However, that was that. She had no reason to frame the Yutian Clan, nor did she have the ability to do so.
Meng Die nodded, "I think so too. Although Third Aunt isn't a good person, she's still half a member of the Heavenly Clan. She wouldn't betray the Heavenly Clan. It looks like we'll have to investigate this thoroughly. I need to understand the battle half a year ago in detail and find the real traitor."
"We can give the Boundless Sky Realm to the Spiritual Mountain, but the Heavenly Imperial Clan cannot be destroyed like this. If we don't find the traitor, the Heavenly Imperial Clan might not be able to preserve what little bloodline they have left," she said in a serious tone.
Just now, the Heaven Commanding Peak had revealed another piece of information.
Currently, Meng Die was not the only direct descendant of the Heavenly Clan.
Other than her, there were also two severely injured elders and three children under the age of ten. One of them was still in swaddling clothes, crying piteously for food.
Including Meng Die, there were a total of six people in the direct bloodline of the Immortal Clan.
"I plan on meeting them first," said Meng Die.
"I feel like we should deal with your third aunt before that. Otherwise, she'll be a hindrance to our operation," said Su Chen.
Meng Die thought about it and agreed, "Then let's go to the treasury first. Doesn't Third Aunt like money? I'll just give her enough. The Immortal Clan's enormous wealth will be devoured by the Spiritual Mountain sooner or later. Why don't we squander it all before that happens?"
On the fifth floor of the Boundless Sky Pagoda, in the Ancient Garden.
The flowers and plants here were all unique specimens left behind from the Ancient Era. It was impossible to find any traces of them in the outside world. They were breathtaking and stunning.
The Ancient Garden was also one of the cultivation grounds of the Immortal Clan. The plants here had the ability to purify spiritual qi. After being purified, the spiritual qi would be incomparably pure and suitable for the human body to absorb.
To cultivators, the purity of spiritual qi could directly affect their cultivation progress. No matter how dense spiritual qi was, it was not suitable for cultivation. Forcefully absorbing it would only damage the meridians and sea of consciousness. On the other hand, the purer the spiritual qi, the more beneficial it was for breaking through bottlenecks.
If it was in the past, the Ancient Garden would be filled with many disciples who came to cultivate in seclusion. It would definitely be bustling with noise and excitement. However, the Immortal Clan had suffered so much damage that no one was in the mood to cultivate in seclusion. The entire Ancient Garden was extremely quiet. Not a single sound could be heard.
"The Immortal Treasury is where the Immortal Clan has accumulated their wealth for millions of years. However, apart from the direct descendants, no one knows the exact location of the treasury. Third Aunt definitely doesn't know either. Otherwise, she would have left long ago after taking away the treasures in the treasury."
"The treasury is here?" asked Su Chen.
If they could control the Immortal Clan's wealth, then they really would have a certain amount of initiative in their next operation.
At the end of the day, all the factions had their eyes on the Immortal Clan. Their goal was the Immortal Clan's wealth.
Meng Die said, "Of course the treasury isn't here. However, the entrance to the treasury is here. As for where exactly it is, we still have to look for it. I only came here once with my father when I was young, so I don't really remember."
Su Chen nodded.
The two of them were not in a hurry. They held hands and strolled around the Ancient Garden leisurely. Meng Die saw some familiar places and talked about some interesting stories from when she was young.
Su Chen thought of Ye Changshu and Immortal Feng's fear of Meng Die and couldn't help but ask, "Did you like to bully people when you were young?"
Meng Die's face turned slightly red. She said somewhat awkwardly, "My mother taught me since I was young that I had to fight for everything. If I couldn't win, then I had to snatch. If I couldn't snatch, then I had to fight. If I couldn't fight, then I had to call for help. Under my mother's teachings, I was raised to be very barbaric and violent when I was young. Furthermore, my father was the head of the Immortal Clan. All the children around me were afraid of me.
Cough cough … She really was a child king.
Compared to the quiet and elegant Miss Meng Die now, it was a huge contrast.
"Auntie … How did she pass away?" asked Su Chen.
He wanted to know more about Meng Die's past.
Meng Die didn't mind telling Su Chen her secret.
Her eyes sank into her memories. She murmured, "When I was twelve, my mother fell seriously ill due to an accident. Back then, the Immortal Clan did everything they could to no avail. My father could only bring my mother and I to Spiritual Mountain. We didn't go there to study, but to treat my mother's illness. After we arrived at Spiritual Mountain, my mother's illness improved. However, she didn't make it past two years … The seeds of conflict between my father and Ye Guihong were planted long ago …"
