You. "Master!
Master! "
Seeing Song Yifei wailing in the ruins of Mingyuan City, Guhan did not know what to say. Perhaps the best thing to do at this time was to let Song Yifei continue to cry until she had vented all the grief in her heart.
In fact, Guhan had long known that Mingyuan City had been destroyed. When he discovered that the black crystal was most likely Sect Leader Tongtian's divine sense, Guhan immediately rushed to Mingyuan City, intending to completely destroy the black crystal.
By the time Gu Han arrived, it was already too late. Mingyuan City had already been destroyed, and Sword Emperor Mingyuan had completely disappeared without a trace. There was no trace of his existence.
However, Guhan did not tell Song Yifei about this, because he knew that once Song Yifei knew about this, she would immediately return to Mingyuan City, and Guhan would have to go to Yuzhang City to save her. In this case, Song Yifei, who had left his side, was likely to be in great danger.
Therefore, Guhan finally decided to hide this from Song Yifei, or never told her that he had gone to Mingyuan City, and deliberately asked Song Yifei to accompany him. He had repeatedly dispelled Song Yifei's idea of returning to Mingyuan City to coordinate with the Nine-Deaths Lifeless Sword and ascend to the throne. It was not until the reconstruction of Yan Jing City was on the right track and all the humans had successfully returned to Yan Jing City that Song Yifei once again strongly requested to return to Mingyuan City that Guhan had no choice but to agree to her request. However, this time, Guhan accompanied Song Yifei to Mingyuan City and pretended that he had just discovered that Mingyuan City had been destroyed.
Sure enough, when she saw that Mingyuan City had been completely destroyed and that there were only human skeletons left in the city, Song Yifei burst into tears and collapsed in an instant.
As for Gu Han, he silently waited by Song Yifei's side until Song Yifei's tears were about to dry before he gently hugged her body and let Song Yifei fall asleep in his embrace.
"I want to avenge Master!
Guhan, I want to avenge Master! "
After Song Yifei woke up again, she did not continue to cry, but she frantically shouted that she wanted to avenge her Master.
Seeing Song Yifei's crazy look, Guhan could not help but sigh and say, "Calm down, your Master is probably not dead yet!"
"Guhan, what do you mean?
My Master is really not dead? "Song Yifei immediately became extremely happy when she heard this. She grabbed Guhan's arm and asked nervously.
"Yes!"
Gu Han nodded and said, "After all, your master is an Emperor Sword sword wielder. After an Emperor Sword sword wielder dies, they must ascend to the heavens. The entire China region can see the pillar of light that is produced when they ascend to the heavens.
This hasn't changed in the past 1000 years, so if your master dies, then there will definitely be a light pillar of ascension.
But we didn't see such a pillar of light appear from the beginning to the end. "
"Also, look at the scene. There are almost no signs of an intense fight. All the human corpses were crushed in an instant.
However, the core of Mingyuan City, the Mingyuan Tower, is still in perfect condition.
I have sensed it nearby, and there is no residual power of Jiandi's level. This means that your Master did not fight with the culprit. It is very likely that she left the Mingyuan Tower and followed the culprit.
I'm guessing that the reason why the culprit destroyed Mingyuan City was to obtain your master, and your master is extremely useful to the culprit. So, I'm guessing that the culprit hasn't killed your master yet, but wants to use her! "
Guhan analyzed calmly. This analysis made Song Yifei quickly calm down, and he was no longer in a crazy state.
In reality, Guhan was not telling the whole truth, or rather, he was only telling the half-truth.
Once an Emperor Sword sword wielder died, there would indeed be an Ascension Light Pillar. Moreover, the Ascension Light Pillar could indeed be seen clearly in all of China.
However, the problem was that if the culprit did not kill Mingyuan Jiandi in Mingyuan City and brought him to the void, or to Europe or America to kill him, the people of China would not be able to see the light pillar of Mingyuan Jiandi's ascension.
As for why the Dark Iris Pagoda was unscathed, it could be explained by the Dark Iris Sword Emperor coming out of his own accord to surrender. The other explanation was that the Dark Iris Sword Emperor was simply too powerful. He was so powerful that the Dark Iris Sword Emperor didn't even have the ability to resist before he was killed.
Guhan did not doubt the Tongtian Sect's strength. In the Seize the Throne of the Nine States, Guhan had experienced it once.
Even if Guhan succeeded in ascending to the throne, Guhan did not have more than a 1% chance of defeating the Tongtian Sect, let alone Mingyuan Jiandi.
"Gu Han, you're so smart, you must know who the person who took my master away is. Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?
Where can we go to save Master? "
Song Yifei looked at Guhan with a pleading gaze. Guhan nodded with a serious expression. "I can guess that there are only three forces in the world that can take your master away without a sound.
One is the Heavenly Court, the other is Mountain Paradise, and the last is the Tongtian Sect.
"It can't be Mountain Paradise or the Heavenly Court. They have a good relationship with my master. Even if their leaders want to defeat my master, they will have to put in a lot of effort.
My master has fought with them before. Without more than a day, they won't be able to hurt my master at all … It must be the Tongtian Sect. It must be the Tongtian Sect. Has he been resurrected? "
Song Yifei said in terror. She had already learned the origin of the Great Apocalypse from Guhan. She also knew that the Tongtian Sect was the mastermind behind all this. She also knew that the Tongtian Sect had been freed from the seal of the Seamless Corridor and was now preparing to be resurrected.
"I guess it's him too!"
Guhan sighed. "There's something I haven't told you yet. I'm 80% sure that the black crystal in my master's hand is the divine sense of the Tongtian Sect.
For so many years, he has been absorbing the filth in Yuan Kou's body to strengthen himself. I think he has almost recovered by now. That's why he jumped out and kidnapped your master. Your master probably never dreamed that he would be captured by the black crystal that he had guarded all his life. I'm afraid that's why your master didn't even have time to resist. "
"Then what should we do … The Tongtian Sect is so powerful. We are no match for him at all. Guhan, your Genesis Sword Seed has been used to save Ling. We …" Song Yifei said while trembling.
"The situation isn't that bad. I think the Tongtian Sect hasn't recovered all his strength yet. Otherwise, he can jump out and challenge the whole world openly. There's no need for him to hide in some place and continue to hide in the dark.
So I think the Tongtian Sect must be secretly accumulating his strength. He doesn't have the power to challenge the whole world yet. This is our chance to defeat him. As long as we can find the Tongtian Sect in time, we might be able to defeat him without becoming a Saint. At that time, we can also save your master! "Guhan let out a long sigh.
"Really!"
Hearing Guhan's words, Song Yifei instantly regained hope. He began to imagine the moment when he and his master would be reunited.
However, Song Yifei soon became depressed again. He said in pain and depression, "But who knows where the Tongtian Sect is hiding now?
The earth is so big, and he's so powerful. If he wants to hide, how can we find him? "
"That's true!"
Guhan nodded. Although he agreed with Song Yifei, he said at the same time, "As long as you do something, you will definitely leave a trace.
It's only a trace the size of a quark, but it's still a trace.
So I think the Tongtian Sect can't hide himself completely. There must be some clues left in this world! "
"Then, should we search through the ruins of Mingyuan City again?
See if we can find any clues? "Song Yifei said immediately.
"There's no need for that. The Tongtian Sect wouldn't leave any clues for us in Mingyuan City.
However, no matter how cunning, calm, and intelligent the Tongtian Sect is, he can't get rid of the shackles of human nature.
Most importantly, he must be full of feelings for his hometown, just like how I am full of feelings for Yuzhang City. "
"That's why I know that after the Tongtian Sect is resurrected, he will definitely go to his previous home.
He will definitely go there. Even if it's just to take a look, he will definitely show up there!
We will definitely be able to find clues there! "Gu Han said with certainty.
"Where is the Tongtian Sect's home?" Song Yifei was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.
"It's in the Aquamarine Palace of the Penglai Immortal Island!" Guhan recalled all the stories he had seen in the illusion of the Jiuzhou Martial Arts Competition.
…
Speaking of Penglai, the Chinese people's first reaction was probably Penglai City in Shandong Province.
However, for Guhan, who was familiar with ancient Chinese mythology, it was impossible for the ruins of Penglai City to be the Penglai Island where the Tongtian Sect's Aquamarine Palace was located. After all, it was called an island. How could it appear on land? Penglai City was just a name given by later generations based on the legends of Penglai.
According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there were a total of five immortal mountains in the sea. They were Dai Yu, Yuanjiao, Fangzhang, Yingzhou, and Penglai.
Among them, Dai Yu and Yuanjiao were nowhere to be found in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. However, according to the records in the Sage relics, these two islands had been destroyed during the Great Dragon and Phoenix War. At that time, there was only Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, who was a Saint, and Sect Leader Tongtian was only an Emperor Sword sword wielder.
After that, there were only three islands left in the sea: Fangzhang, Yingzhou, and Penglai.
