"I won't be seeing you off …"
Tang Jianming would never have a good attitude towards these people who had brought 'disaster' to the Tang Sect … Even if both sides had reached a friendly agreement, he would not be able to completely let go of this grudge!
The ground around them was littered with the corpses of the Tang Sect disciples. If it was anyone else, they would not have a good attitude.
"Let's go!"
Xuan Yuan did not mind. He immediately waved his hand and sped out of the Tang Sect's valley.
Qin Fang mounted the Windbreaker Wolf King and rode on its body. He turned into a gust of wind and sped away at an extremely fast speed … As a wind-type spirit beast king, the Windbreaker Wolf King's advantage in speed was simply too terrifying.
Even though it was carrying a living person like Qin Fang, it did not change much.
Babose followed behind Qin Fang. He did not care about the three elders of Kunlun. In his eyes, there was only Qin Fang, his master …
The other two old men of the Kunlun Three Elders brought up the rear in order to prevent the Tang Sect from playing any tricks … With these two middle stage Supreme-Being experts, even Tang Jianming could not hope to sneak attack them.
Of course, such a thing did not happen. Qin Fang and the rest of the group of five people and one beast quickly rushed out of the Tang Sect's valley.
It was only when they reached Jian Qingfeng and Tang Xin's camp that they were completely safe.
"Qin Fang …"
When she saw Qin Fang appear, Tang Xin almost immediately screamed. Then, she threw herself into Qin Fang's arms and immediately searched Qin Fang's body. At the same time, she asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
She was checking Qin Fang's body to see if there were any wounds or internal injuries …
"I'm fine!
I'm completely fine … "
Qin Fang gently stroked Tang Xin's hair and replied with a smile, "It's all thanks to the three elders that the Tang Sect did not do anything to me …"
"Many thanks to the three elders for saving me …"
At this time, Qin Fang naturally expressed his gratitude to the three elders of Kunlun.
"You're going overboard with your words …"
Old Daoist Xuan Yuan smiled and waved his hand. "Originally, we thought that we'd have a big fight and then take him away from the Tang Sect … Who would have thought that although you're young, you'd be so strong!
Even if we don't make a move, I believe you still have a way to escape! "
This was inevitable. Otherwise, Qin Fang wouldn't have been able to slaughter so wantonly in the Tang Sect's headquarters … Only he had the confidence to do such a thing.
If it were anyone else, even if they were Utmost Exalted experts, they wouldn't dare to be so ruthless.
But Qin Fang did just that …
"I was young and impetuous, so I didn't think too much at that time!"
Qin Fang also expressed somewhat embarrassedly.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore … This place is far too close to the Tang Sect's headquarters, so it's best that we leave as soon as possible!
What if a few more old monsters like Tang Jianming appear from the Tang Sect? We'll be in real trouble … "
Daoist Xuan Yuan said solemnly.
"Let's go …"
Qin Fang naturally wouldn't object to it. Although the journey to the Tang Sect this time was extremely dangerous, it still ended well in the end …
Tang Xin was rescued, so the enmity with the Tang Sect could be temporarily set aside. Most importantly, Qin Fang's strength had increased tremendously. He had condensed the Sovereign's Body and stepped into the half-step Utmost Exalted realm!
As for obtaining the Heavenly Starlock …
The group immediately left the campsite and quickly rushed towards the outskirts of the mountain …
Qin Fang and the rest used their qinggong to travel quickly. Tang Xin's strength was slightly weaker, but she had the Windbreaker Wolf King as her mount. Her speed was even faster than the rest, so Qin Fang didn't have to worry about her.
When they entered the mountain, Qin Fang and Jian Qingfeng had walked for close to two days …
But now, they only needed to find a direction to leave the mountain. With the strength and speed of this group of people, they only needed half a day to arrive!
Of course, they would have to spend the night in the mountain.
It wasn't that they couldn't walk on the mountain …
It was that the mountain was filled with all kinds of dangers. Traps, wild beasts, and the like were not something these Supremes would care about. The most terrifying thing was the miasma that filled the mountain. If they weren't careful, they could fall into it.
Qin Fang wasn't afraid of the miasma, but the others might not be …
However, spending the night in the mountain wasn't a big problem.
They just needed to choose a relatively safe area. For example … on the peak of a mountain.
Moreover, the three elders of Kunlun did have some things to ask Qin Fang …
"Qin brat, there are some things that we old men have to ask …"
When night fell, Tang Xin went to rest. Jian Qingfeng was sent out by the three elders to keep watch. The three old men ran over to Qin Fang's side. Daoist Xuan Yuan said hesitantly.
"You want to ask about the Heavenly Starlock?"
Before Daoist Xuan Yuan could speak, Qin Fang had already guessed it.
"That's right …"
Daoist Xuan Yuan did not deny it. With his strength and status, unless it was a very important matter, he would not reveal such an expression and emotion. The main thing was that the Heavenly Starlock was indeed important, so he had to pay attention to it.
"The Heavenly Starlock is a secret treasure of the Heavenly Star Mansion, and the mansion …"
When he mentioned the mansion, Daoist Xuan Yuan was still a little hesitant … Although Qin Fang knew about the Heavenly Starlock and even took the initiative to ask for it, Qin Fang might not know much about the mansion.
After all, even an old man like him only slowly remembered it after his junior brother reminded him …
The legend of the Heavenly Star Mansion was too old. Moreover, it was once a taboo in the martial arts world, so it was slowly forgotten by people!
"How about this, I'll tell you everything in detail …"
Qin Fang thought for a moment but still felt that it was better for everyone to talk about it.
"This is the news I got from Tang Mingyuan …"
Qin Fang also spoke tirelessly. When he mentioned Tang Mingyuan, he noticed the doubts of Daoist Xuan Yuan and the others, so he also briefly explained, "Tang Mingyuan is an elder of the Tang Sect. He has some grudges with me, and then … You know what happened!"
With that said, Daoist Xuan Yuan and the other old men naturally understood what was going on.
They knew that this matter was because Qin Fang had killed a few Tang Sect disciples … Originally, this was only a small matter. Which sect's disciples did not suffer casualties when they traveled outside?
However, if the person who died was an elder of the Tang Sect, and an elder of the Tang family's direct line of descent, it would be more serious … It was no wonder that Tang Ao, the sect master, would make a fuss over nothing and torment Qin Fang.
Of course, they were probably regretting it to death now …
For the sake of an elder whose strength was only at the Grandmaster level, he had caused the entire Tang Sect to lose a Supreme-Being expert, three Half-Supreme-Being experts, and dozens of Grandmaster and Grandmaster level experts … as well as the Mountain Guardian Divine Beast, Howling Firmament Wolf, who was at the peak of the Spirit Beast King level.
No matter who lost such a deal, they would have suffered a huge loss …
But now, they could only grit their teeth and swallow their grievances!
"I've also heard of the legend of the Heavenly Star Lock. Some people say that this black stone lock is the key to opening the Heavenly Star Mansion's secret. Some people also say that the stone lock itself hides the Heavenly Star Mansion's biggest secret … All kinds of legends have been circulating for many years, and there are also many versions!"
The martial arts world was a big dye vat. All kinds of news were spread by many people and soon became all kinds of versions. Perhaps some of them were true, and perhaps all of them were false. Now that so many years had passed, no one could say for sure.
"But it's more of a taboo …"
It was indeed a taboo. Many people had once died in that bloody storm … Some coveted the Heavenly Star Lock, some spoke nonsense, and some had secrets that no one knew.
In short, it was a past that people could not bear to look back on …
"I don't know how much of a sensation the Heavenly Star Mansion caused in the martial arts world back then, but there's one thing I know … The origin of the Heavenly Star Mansion!"
At this point, Qin Fang paused as if he was hesitating whether to say it or not.
"The origin of the Heavenly Star Mansion?
Do you really know? "
Sure enough, after hearing this, even an old man like Elder Xuanyuan could not remain calm. He immediately slammed the table and stood up to ask.
"Yes, I do know …"
Qin Fang nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
Then, looking at the anxious gazes and expressions of Elder Xuanyuan and the other two old men, Qin Fang could only speak.
"Penglai …"
Qin Fang only said two words!
When he said these two words, Qin Fang seemed to have used up all his strength …
"Penglai?"
Hearing these two words, Daoist Xuan Yuan's eyes widened in surprise. At the same time, he was extremely excited … It was as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His originally calm face immediately became a lot redder due to the rush of blood.
"You're saying … The Heavenly Star Mansion came from the Penglai Secret Realm?"
Old Daoist Xuan Yuan asked in disbelief.
The legend of the Penglai Secret Realm had a history of thousands of years in Long Province …
Other than Xu Fu who was lucky enough to enter the Penglai Secret Realm back then, no one else was so lucky … Similarly, after Xu Fu entered the Penglai Secret Realm, he never appeared in the world again.
No one had ever heard of anyone coming out of the Penglai Secret Realm …
Now that Qin Fang said this, it was no wonder that Elder Xuanyuan had such a big reaction!
"I don't have very good evidence to prove this, but it should be close …"
Although Qin Fang's words were not so resolute and decisive, in fact, he was already convinced of this point.
Nonetheless, it was not convenient for Qin Fang to reveal the various reasons.
This was because he could not explain it clearly …
He could not say that when he was in the Tang Sect, the mission of the secret realm map in his hand actually had a reaction … There were a total of four secret realm maps. Qin Fang had obtained three of them, and he had found the whereabouts of the other one. In the future, the map of the entire Penglai Secret Realm would be completed.
Initially, Qin Fang did not know where the map came from …
After all, only those who had truly entered the Penglai Secret Realm could draw such a map!
Or perhaps … only those who came out of the Penglai Secret Region would have a complete map of the Penglai Secret Region.
Qin Fang hadn't figured it out all the time.
It was not until he received the hint of the Heavenly Star Lock that he felt that his eyes were suddenly enlightened …
"The Heavenly Star Lock … It doesn't hide the secret of the Heavenly Star Mansion, but the secret of the Penglai Secret Realm, one of the Three Great Secret Realms!
This is because the people from the Heavenly Star Mansion came from the Penglai Secret Realm … "
When the hint appeared, Qin Fang was stunned!
Fortunately, he was quick-witted, and he happened to have such a good opportunity. Qin Fang immediately played along …
This was also the reason why Qin Fang suddenly proposed to exchange the Heavenly Star Lock …
As for how he knew that the Heavenly Star Lock was in the hands of the Tang Sect, Qin Fang really did not know.
Whether it was Tang Jianming and the other disciples of the Tang Sect who were puzzled and suspected that the core higher-ups of the Tang Sect had colluded with Qin Fang to leak such an important secret, or that Elder Xuanyuan and the others were also puzzled about how Qin Fang knew about this secret …
Now, Qin Fang gave an answer that could not be considered an answer … He knew it from Tang Mingyuan.
What the truth was was no longer important.
Tang Mingyuan had been dead for a long time, and there was no evidence. Who could refute Qin Fang's reason?
Moreover, it was not important at all. Now, it could be ignored …
"Penglai, Penglai …"
"I really didn't expect this …"
"It's too surprising …"
The 3 old men were very excited … If this spread out, it would definitely cause a huge commotion in the martial arts world.
The Penglai Secret Realm was the only secret realm where humans had been confirmed to exist for so many years …
Among the Three Great Secret Realms, the Penglai Secret Realm was the smallest, but it was also the least dangerous. In particular, there were humans inside, which was what many large sects yearned for.
It was said that the unexpected appearance of the small island in the southeast attracted the attention of all the sects in the martial arts world …
Not only did some small sects send powerhouses to explore the secret, but even a large sect like the Kunlun Sect had also sent people over … Once a bigger loophole appeared in the secret realm's formation, the powerhouses from the outside world would definitely be able to enter the Penglai Secret Realm.
Now, the cultivation environment on Earth was getting worse and worse. Even a large sect like the Kunlun Sect was having a hard time …
If they couldn't find a better place to practice, then the Kunlun Sect would definitely decline further.
A few years or a dozen years might not be a problem, but what if it was a few decades or a hundred years?
That was hard to say …
"Grandmasters, actually … I want this Heavenly Star Lock to open the Penglai Secret Realm!"
Noticing the emotional fluctuations of the 3 old men, Qin Fang revealed a shocking piece of information …
