Chapter 4779: Phantom Clan

"When did Fellow Daoist Jin become so powerful? He single-handedly killed a Chaos Beast of the same realm?"

A pleasant female voice rang out. Just as the words fell, a graceful woman in a purple dress emerged from a side hall. Her aura was as vast as the sea, indicating she was also a Dao Ancestor.

"Perhaps he had help! Even if he did kill the Chaos Beast, acting so high-profile, isn't he afraid of powerful Chaos Beasts targeting him? Or is Fellow Daoist Jin merely bait, intended to lure out strong Chaos Beasts, or is he a lure set by the Chaos Beasts to trap us?" Du Xin speculated.

"It's hard to say. After so many years, who knows what he's become. By the way, have we still not found Senior Brother Yu after all this time?" The woman in the purple dress said with a frown. Shangguan Qianqian had opened up five fundamental laws.

"If we can't find him, and if Senior Brother Yu were captured by Chaos Beasts, then no large Chaos Beast force has come to trouble us. If he went out on an errand, why hasn't he returned for hundreds of millions of years? Could he be trapped by a powerful restriction?" Du Xin wondered.

"That seems unlikely! Before he disappeared, Senior Brother Yu had opened up five fundamental laws and one supreme fundamental law, solidifying his Dao foundation. With such immense power, could he be trapped by a restriction in the Ancient Immortal Court ruins?" Shangguan Qianqian said.

"It shouldn't be difficult to find Senior Brother Yu. A Dao Ancestor skilled in divination might be able to deduce his location. Wang Qiulin, grandson of Dao Ancestor Taihao, is proficient in divination. I wonder if he has advanced to Dao Ancestor realm yet." Du Xin said. A Dao Ancestor from the Heavenly Artifice Immortal Palace had been missing for hundreds of millions of years, his whereabouts unknown. Du Xin had sent people to search for a long time but found nothing.

"I'll go personally!" Shangguan Qianqian volunteered.

"The Wang family's rise has been too rapid. We don't know if they are being supported by Chaos Beasts. There have been such cases before, so we must be cautious. Let's send someone to investigate the Wang family's background first! We must be careful; the Dao Clan Shangguan family, for instance, had their foothold discovered by Chaos Beasts. A ten-colored Chaos Beast, having opened up seven fundamental laws, personally led the charge and annihilated the Shangguan family." Du Xin's expression became solemn as he finished speaking. Shangguan Qianqian nodded and said, "That would be safer."

Somewhere in the Immortal Realm, amidst a series of rolling verdant mountains, where peaks were high and forests dense, and immortal qi was sparse, high-level immortals rarely stayed.

A streak of green light flew from a distance, stopping with a flicker. The light receded, revealing a handsome young man in a green robe. The young man tapped a green jade pendant on his chest, and a dazzling green light erupted from his body. His physique expanded considerably, his eyes turned green, and his skin was adorned with some natural, silvery-white spirit patterns. A swirling silvery-white marking appeared on his brow, clearly indicating he was not human.

Ripples stirred in the void ahead, revealing a green light gate several yards wide. The young man flew into the gate, which then closed, as if it had never existed. Beyond the green light gate, a massive island floated high in the sky, with towering ancient trees and strangely shaped rocks. The young man landed in a secluded manor, stopping before a hexagonal stone pavilion.

Inside the stone pavilion sat a robust old man in a green robe and a voluptuous woman in a silver dress. Both had swirling silvery-white markings on their brows, instantly revealing them to be of the same race. "Rong Qing, what significant news have you discovered this time?" the green-robed elder asked, his voice booming. "Dao Ancestor Qihong killed a Chaos Beast named Xiao. He paraded its body through several immortal domains and also eliminated some false immortals," Rong Qing reported.

"Dao Ancestor Qihong! He's still alive, and acting so high-profile? Is he fishing? Is he deliberately trying to lure us into contacting him? Or is he trying to entrap and kill Chaos Beasts?" The woman in the silver dress said with a frown.

"It's hard to say. Perhaps it's Zhou Dian luring and killing Chaos Beasts, or perhaps he's trying to send a message to someone and is deliberately making a spectacle." The green-robed elder analyzed. He seemed to recall something and continued, "Is there still no news of Madam Gu?"

"No, I had the outer organizations search, but they couldn't find her, not a single clue. If Senior Gu was captured by Chaos Beasts, we haven't seen a large Chaos Beast force come to trouble our Illusory Charm Clan. Could she be trapped in some forbidden area?" Rong Qing speculated.

"It's hard to say. From the Chaos Era to the present, there have been multiple Great Dao Wars, leaving behind many ancient battlefields. Many super-forces have been annihilated; powerful ones like the Fúlong Sect, the Myriad Sword Palace, and the Dao Clan Gongsun family have all vanished into the river of history. They must have left behind numerous ruins. It's quite possible Madam Gu is trapped in the ruins of a major force or an ancient battlefield." The green-robed elder said.

"Could it be the Ancient Immortal Court ruins?" The woman in the silver dress speculated.

"It's hard to say! If Madam Gu is trapped in the Ancient Immortal Court ruins, that would be a good thing. It seems we need to contact other reclusive forces to see if any Dao Ancestors proficient in divination have emerged among them who could deduce Madam Gu's location." The green-robed elder said in a deep voice.

"Rong Qing, you may go! Continue to inquire about Madam Gu's whereabouts, and also pay attention to the movements of other Dao Ancestors – I mean those who are hidden." The woman in the silver dress instructed. "Yes, Elder Yue." Rong Qing assented, accepted the order, and departed.

Somewhere in the Immortal Realm, in a sea region fraught with lightning and strong gales, thick immortal lightning bolts periodically tore through the sky, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle.

A barren island, ten thousand li in circumference, had sparse vegetation, with most of the island being bare and desolate. A streak of light flew from the distant horizon, stopping with a flicker above the barren island. The light receded, revealing a short, stout old man in a silver robe. Judging by his aura, he was a Dao Ancestor. The silver-robed elder landed on the barren island, his expression respectful.

"How is it? Have you found Kui and Zhan?" A majestic male voice emanated from the barren island. "Reporting, Lord Sha, not yet." The silver-robed elder replied.

"Still can't find them? Rong Lei, are my words no longer effective? Are you taking my orders lightly?" The man's voice grew cold, and the ground of the barren island began to tremble.

"Lord Sha, please calm your anger. Your subordinate has already sent many people to search for them, but indeed found nothing. This time, I came to report significant news: Lord Xiao has been killed by Dao Ancestor Qihong." Rong Lei quickly explained.

"She was killed by Dao Ancestor Qihong? Was it Dao Ancestor Qihong who acted? Or did other Dao Ancestors assist?" The man asked.

"It's unclear. Dao Ancestor Qihong paraded through several immortal domains, displaying Lord Xiao's corpse, killing some immortals who worked for us, and then he left." Rong Lei said.

"That's it? No other news?" The man continued to ask.

"Your subordinate suspects that someone is directing Dao Ancestor Qihong from behind the scenes, and this spectacle is meant to transmit a message or attract our attention." Rong Lei speculated.

"That is not for you to worry about. You have only two tasks: first, to find Kui and Zhan; second, to find Zhou Dian. Next time you come, I expect good news, not this nonsense." The man's voice was icy.

"Yes, Lord Sha, I will attend to it immediately." Rong Lei assented, turned, and left.
