Chapter 1444 The Suspicious Case of the Holy Merchant
The scene of the immortal replenishment fell into an eerie silence for an instant.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to speak first.
After a long time, someone asked weakly: "Brother Dao, the news we got, that the World-Transcending Mysterious Coffin... is fake, right?"
After everyone heard this, they all looked at Dao Yuan at a loss.
Dao Yuan, who had always behaved very calmly, had a flash of panic in his eyes at this moment. However, he still coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't get confused! Maybe, the mysterious coffin was just used by the two immortals Xiyi.
Even if we tried to cover it up, we might still be in the same place. We..."
Before he finished speaking, a panicked voice interrupted him: "How is it possible? It's obviously a fake mysterious coffin, but it can actually save the world?!"
As this person spoke, he flew quickly towards the location where the mysterious coffin was originally located, regardless of everything.
It was Nangong Hongzhao who had previously confirmed the authenticity of the mysterious coffin!
"Oops!" The expressions of all the new Immortal Hunters changed. If it is true as Dao Yuan judged, then Nangong Hongzhao's move will most likely make him face the two true immortals, and his life will be destroyed on the spot.
It will also expose everyone else who is hiding in secret.
Everyone wanted to stop Nangong Hongzhao's reckless behavior.
However, this person's figure was erratic and his speed was unimaginably fast. He arrived at his destination in the blink of an eye.
Everyone's breath suddenly suffocated.
Fortunately, the expected tragic scene did not happen.
However, everyone's expressions did not become relaxed because of this. On the contrary, they became even more dejected.
"The Xuanshi Coffin is really missing."
"With them disappearing together, there are two other Xiyi True Immortals."
The seriousness of the matter was obviously beyond the control of these new Immortal Hunters. So Dao Yuan decisively chose to report the matter through Dao Online.
And the reaction on the other side of the Taoist network was somewhat beyond his imagination.
"What? The fairy bait is missing? This is impossible!"
"In Dao Network's observation, it is clearly still in the same place!"
"Where's Yan Xuantai! Why didn't he contact me?"
The furious voice spread through the ripples of the Tao network from the center of the distant Shuo Xing Sea to everyone's ears.
By the time the last word came out, the owner of the voice had truly arrived.
But he was a short old man no more than three feet tall.
His silver beard and hair were even longer than his body. They were entangled at his feet like flowing clouds.
The old man's face was gloomy and terrifying, and his eyes swept over everyone.
This group of new Immortal Hunters all lowered their heads subconsciously, not daring to look at the old man.
"This is..."
Li Fan also felt the power of the old man in front of him.
Along with the old man's breathing, the invisible strings between heaven and earth send out corresponding fluctuations. This tunnel network even becomes clearer and more stable because of the arrival of the old man.
In Ma Tiande's memory, he had seen this old man from afar.
The old man presided over the meeting when he got the job of network operator.
"Shuo Xinghai Governing Council, one of the board elders, Nangong Fusheng."
I saw Nangong Fusheng teleporting to the original location of the Immortal Bai Xuan coffin. Looking at Nangong Hongzhao who was still there, whispering incoherently, Nangong Fusheng angrily yelled, "Trash!"
With one slap, Nangong Hongzhao flew away.
Allowing him to fly uncontrollably in the sea of stars, Nangong Fusheng's furious mood gradually calmed down and he looked around carefully.
Circle after circle of ripples radiated out with Nangong Fusheng as the center.
The Xianshou people who were watching from a distance felt that the whole world had turned into a violent sea. The rolling, roaring and howling waves seemed to be able to completely engulf them at any time. They could only rely on the power of the Dao Network with difficulty.
Keep your body in good shape.
The ripples of the Tao network are endless.
In the end, it ends with Nangong regaining his sainthood and pulling out a black spike with colorful flowing light from the void in his right hand.
After the spike was taken out, Nangong Fusheng was not angry but smiled: "Yan Xuantai, what a trick! You can actually deceive the network and hide the truth!"
The new Immortal Hunters were also staring intently at the black colorful spikes in Nangong Fusheng's hands.
Eyes flashing.
In their previous understanding, the Tao Network was equivalent to the great avenue of heaven and earth. The power of heaven and earth was unmatched in the world. They could only find ways to control it.
But now, they are on their first mission after officially joining the Immortal Hunter organization.
Then I met someone who could deceive the Dao Network.
There was even a golden cicada's escape from its shell in full view of the public.
"Who is this Yan Xuantai?"
Doubts inevitably arise in everyone's mind.
The fake mysterious coffin actually ran away with the two true immortals who had been regarded as prey. Moreover, there was a faint shadow of conspiracy from people within the Shuoxing Sea Immortal Hunting Organization.
This is no small matter.
Soon, in addition to Nangong Fusheng, three other monks arrived one after another.
Even though they concealed their figures, they also restrained their power. But their arrival still seemed to set off a storm in the tunnel network. The new Immortal Hunters could only tremble. When asked, they did not dare to hide anything.
, all told truthfully.
"Go back first."
"I don't think this matter is that simple."
Nangong Fusheng said to the three figures in a deep voice, without any intention of being secretive in front of everyone.
Silver beard and hair, windless and long.
Wrapping up all the immortal hunters.
When he was about to leave, Li Fan vaguely heard Nangong Hongzhao's anxious shouting from outside the silver-haired package: "Third uncle, wait for me!"
Silver hair shrouded and spread out.
In just the blink of an eye, everyone was brought back to the center of Shuo Xing Sea.
They were taken into dark cubicles for a second questioning.
Since they were indeed newbies who didn't know anything about it, there wasn't too much embarrassment in the organization. After just a few routine questions, it was over.
However, they had no intention of letting them go. They just kept them in countless dark compartments like death rows.
Although everyone's freedom of movement is not restricted, it is limited to this area.
Unable to leave.
The endless darkness gradually swallowed up everyone's hearts and minds.
At first, the new Immortal Hunters were still hopeful. They felt that their imprisonment would soon end.
But as day goes by, the organization seems to have completely forgotten about them. Since they were placed here, there has been no sound at all.
Slowly, everyone's mentality also changed.
"I understand. Hunting true immortals and missing mysterious coffins are all part of the immortal hunting assessment. We are still in the assessment! I must cheer up and not be depressed!"
"I thought I had a great future, but something like this happened to me. I'm afraid my whole life will be wasted."
"Xuan Coffin disappeared with the two true immortals. For such a big thing, someone must be responsible. Could it be that they just use us as the scapegoat?"
…
Most people live in panic all day long.
Only those who can remain calm under such circumstances are truly geniuses.
Li Fan felt the three strands of sword intent next to him that had never been cut off, and nodded slightly.
"Jin Changyue has been cultivating this sword intention since he was imprisoned. He was imprisoned for no reason, suffered unjust injustice, and the hostility in his heart grew naturally. But this is the best time to cultivate the sword with his intention."
"However, in order for this sword intention to be fully realized, it needs someone to sacrifice the sword."
Except for Jin Changyue, Dao Yuan is also considered calm. Except for some fluctuations in his aura at the beginning, the rest of the time, he is like a hidden dragon in the abyss, quietly dormant, waiting for the opportunity.
Li Fan naturally did not have any impatience in his heart. However, he still hid his clumsiness and kept pretending to show anxiety and despair.
In fact, he kept thinking about the scene where the two Immortals Xiyi activated the World-Transcending Mysterious Coffin and left.
The Xuanyin recited by the two Immortals Xiyi slowly faded in Li Fan's memory with the passage of time. Even the inscription on the Transformation Stone was the same.
Li Fan could only repeat it over and over again to deepen his impression.
But the general trend that eventually faded away completely cannot be changed.
Li Fan also tried to directly use the miniature Tao network in his spiritual mind to reflect the fluctuations at that time.
However, the shocks in the great avenues of heaven and earth caused by Xuanyin are all within the Xuan coffin.
Li Fan only observed from a distance through the Taoist network and could not accurately record it.
"That mysterious coffin is said to be fake, but it is actually real."
"Other than the inability to survive, it is almost the same as a real mysterious coffin..."
Li Fan thought of what Nangong Hongzhao had said before, and his heart moved.
Although Nangong Hongzhao was not brought back by Nangong Fusheng before, a few days later, he was still thrown into the black prison here.
However, he did not show anxiety or worry. Instead, he looked as if he had failed at something, showing a dejected look.
These days, I just lie lazily on the ground.
Close your eyes and fall asleep.
Li Fan quietly came over.
"Brother Nangong, there is something I have been holding back for a long time."
"It's like it's stuck in your throat, no matter how unhappy you are!"
Perhaps it was the performance of "Ma Tiande" before that barely left a positive impression in Nangong Hongzhao's mind.
Nangong Hongzhao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Fan lightly.
Then he didn't say anything and continued to close his mouth.
Li Fan knew that since he didn't explicitly refuse, he agreed.
Immediately, another message was sent to ask: "What happened to the fake mysterious coffin that suddenly turned real? Does Brother Nangong know the inside story?"
Nangong Hongzhao said angrily: "Didn't you see that I was treated like trash and swept out of the country? How can I know the inside story?"
Li Fan quickly comforted him: "Brother Nangong, don't say that. He is the elder Nangong of the council. How many people want to be swept away like this, but they don't have the qualifications."
Hearing this, Nangong Hongzhao opened his eyes again.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at it again, and said thoughtfully: "I almost forgot, you were originally a Dao Network operator, and you are considered to be from the Autonomous Council. No wonder you know how powerful my third uncle is."
Li Fan nodded repeatedly: "That is, that is."
Seeing that Nangong Hongzhao's attitude gradually softened, Li Fan quickly got to the point: "I have nothing to do these days, thinking about it. There are several possibilities for this fake coffin."
"First, the fake coffin is an imitation of the real coffin. Except for certain necessary conditions, it is no different from the real world-transcending coffin. And the two immortals Xiyi who came from afar to the sea of stars just mastered this necessity
Conditions. Therefore, it is logical to use the mysterious coffin to escape to other worlds."
"But there's one thing that doesn't make sense about this guess. It's just used as bait to trap real immortals. As long as it looks like it, it doesn't have to be so real. So, I guessed that Yan Xuantai did something secretly.
They may have resorted to a trick to replace the fake coffin with another one that is closer to the real coffin. They lurked inside, waiting for the two Immortals Xiyi to enter, tell them the whole story, and then escape with them."
"But..." Li Fan paused.
"This Yan Xuantai, I don't know who he is. He was sent to secretly monitor and protect the new Immortal Hunter's first hunt. His identity and status should not be much higher than such a small thing. But he actually mastered it.
With such a treasure?"
"Moreover, there is that black colorful spike that can deceive the Taoist network. I can't guess what I'm thinking!" Li Fan sighed.
"Seeing that we may be locked up here and never get ahead, Brother Nangong, can you help me clarify my doubts? Don't worry, I will never tell anyone." Li Fan vowed.
After a long silence, Nangong Hongzhao's subtle voice came: "Your thoughts are quite careful. Some of them coincide with what I guessed. It's just that I know some inside stories that you don't know."
"It's not a secret. It doesn't hurt to tell you. That Yan Xuantai originally joined the Immortal Hunters as a member of the [Saint Shang]. A hundred years ago, the entire Saint Shang suddenly disappeared from the Shuo Xing Sea. Only the remaining
Some remnants, abandoned sons."
"I thought that he had already settled the dispute with Shengshang. But I never thought..." Nangong Hongzhao snorted coldly,
"Speaking of which, Holy Shang was one of the founders of Immortal Hunting. And many of the techniques for catching immortals were proactively provided by them. Moreover, members of Holy Shang did not like fighting and power. They only aimed at catching immortals, so
He had a transcendent status in the original Immortal Hunter organization. After Saint Shang suddenly left without saying goodbye, not knowing his whereabouts. Yan Xuantai, as the abandoned son of Saint Shang, was not overly difficult. He was even assigned an important position...
"
After Li Fan heard the word [Saint Shang], his heart moved slightly.
He continued to ask: "According to what you said, Brother Nangong, the Holy Merchant was already a hundred years ago. Over the past hundred years, our Taoist net technique has improved a lot. Even though Yan Xuantai is a Holy Merchant, he is actually able to deceive
Daowang's method? Is it possible that the Holy Shang is so far ahead of us? Or..."
Li Fan seemed to realize something, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Is it possible that Yan Xuantai secretly regained contact with Shengshang recently and found a way to escape?"
"But, this doesn't make sense. Unless, the fake coffin is not escaping to other worlds, but to another star sea. Where is the Saint Merchant?"
Nangong Hongzhao shook his head slightly: "This is not something I can know. The matter is complicated and confusing. Yan Xuantai is withdrawn by nature and often acts alone. It is somewhat difficult to investigate."
"But don't worry. We will never be imprisoned until death. We will be released when the general result of the matter is reached." Nangong Hongzhao comforted him kindly.
