Seeing the anger of the crowd rising like a river, Yangzi felt slightly embarrassed as he realized he would not have another chance to speak. He was unsure how to continue, but at that moment, Duan Changfeng, the Master of Taiyi Tower, raised his hand in the air, signaling everyone to calm down, and gave him an encouraging look.
Yangzi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Reflecting on what he had witnessed that day, he bit his lip and said, "If the commotion this time was caused by a master from the Divine Martial Realm, then I wouldn't be able to guess much. However, if it was an extraordinary performance by a Xuanwu Practitioner, I can think of a possibility!"
"Oh?" Duan Changfeng was somewhat surprised because even he could not fathom what exactly had happened outside Ning Cang City. This elder who had just returned from Yue Ma Plain seemed to have unique insights.
Regardless of whether Yangzi was seeking attention or not, for the sake of the future development of the sect, Duan Changfeng maintained his composure as the Master of Taiyi Tower and kindly said, "Since you have a different perspective, feel free to speak your mind. Even if you're wrong, I won't hold it against you!"
Yangzi had been waiting for such a promise. If he guessed incorrectly and was accused of making baseless claims within the sect, it would not be pleasant! He then solemnly shared with Duan Changfeng and everyone else about that night.
That night was when he was rescued from danger by Ye Feng and others. Afterwards, it became a source of shame for Taiyi Tower. However, sharing it now clearly carried a different meaning!
After briefly recounting the events, the elders displayed expressions of disbelief; they clearly found Yangzi's words hard to accept! Only Duan Changfeng furrowed his brow and murmured something. He did not know that at that very moment, the leader of Azure Thunder Sect had also been informed about that name by his subordinates!
The strength of that Heavenly Mechanism Sect disciple once again caught the attention of Heavenly Level Sect. Duan Changfeng could see no lies in Yangzi's expression; perhaps there were some embellishments in his account, but this disciple was undoubtedly real! Could it be that he was the instigator behind the commotion outside the city?
"Master of Taiyi Tower, this is merely my speculation; however, I believe there is a significant possibility. Please keep this in mind!" Yangzi emphasized again, fearing that he might lose Duan Changfeng's trust.
Duan Changfeng nodded and surveyed the elders before calmly saying, "What do you all think?"
Seeing the Master of Taiyi Tower ask for their opinions, the elders showed expressions of difficulty. They wanted to reprimand Yangzi for his reckless words; however, since Duan Changfeng had already stated he would not blame him beforehand, it would be inappropriate for them to voice any objections now.
Watching everyone fall silent, Duan Changfeng sighed inwardly. He understood their thoughts well; it was precisely because no one dared to speak up that Taiyi Tower appeared ineffective. Over the years, despite Heavenly Mechanism Sect's decline, it still remained at the top among the three major sects of Sky Abyss Empire!
Meanwhile, the leader of Azure Thunder Sect was doing everything possible with a determination to become number one in the world. Only Taiyi Tower continued to remain obscure and in a subordinate position! To be fair, wasn't this related to his own incompetence as the sect leader?
At this moment, a potential new master from Divine Martial Realm appeared—if not that, then certainly an extremely promising expert from Xuanwu Realm—who might even be a youth under twenty years old according to his subordinates' reports. This was rare for the entire Eastern Continent!
If we could gather information in advance, not to mention winning over and establishing a good relationship with this kid, if anything were to happen, we could help each other! Never underestimate the influence of a Divine Martial Realm warrior on the entire continent!
Looking at the world, there are definitely no more than fifty experts from the Divine Martial Realm available! Compared to the thousands of warriors, these fifty are truly rare and exceptional! How can we ignore that?
"Alright, since everyone doesn't have any better suggestions, I will issue an order. From tonight onwards, we must closely monitor the movements of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect disciples. If there is any unusual activity, you must report it to me immediately, especially regarding the individual Elder Yang mentioned!" Duan Changfeng thought for a moment and said.
After these words were spoken, the expressions of the elders visibly changed. Duan Changfeng observed them and continued, "I think this matter should be entrusted to Elder Yang to handle fully. Remember, investigate but do not alert anyone from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect; otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself!"
Once this was said, even if the elders were reluctant to agree, they had no choice. They knew very well that although the sect leader was usually amiable, once an order was given, no one could reverse it, let alone resist!
"Understood!" Despite their unwillingness, the elders responded in unison.
Duan Changfeng nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to dismiss the meeting. The elders left with heavy hearts, leaving only Yangzi behind. After everyone dispersed, he approached Master of Taiyi Tower and whispered something in his ear.
Duan Changfeng's expression fluctuated before finally curling into a strange smile. The moonlight outside became increasingly clear-minded as dawn approached. No one knew what secret these two were discussing!
At this moment, the most bustling place was not Taiyi Tower but within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. The sect leader Sky Whirlwind personally arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, startling all the Hall Masters who were puzzled and completely unaware of the shock from both Azure Thunder Sect and Taiyi Tower!
"Tell me about the situation outside the city; who knows anything?" Sky Whirlwind, this Divine Martial Realm expert, sometimes didn't carry himself like a sect leader!
However, all the Hall Masters were used to it and still adhered to their etiquette by bowing to him. Sky Whirlwind impatiently waved his sleeve, and everyone sat down to discuss calmly.
The first to speak was the hot-tempered Feng Zhengyang. He immediately said, "Sect Leader, I suspect it might be envoys from Qin Yuan Empire visiting; perhaps there was some misunderstanding that led to a conflict outside the city!"
This guess was completely off-base! Sky Whirlwind felt a headache coming on; he thought to himself that there should be some logic here—the envoys from Qin Empire wouldn't arrive until at least two days later. How could what happened last night possibly be related to them?
Qianjizi also stood up and refuted Feng Zhengyang's viewpoint, making Feng Zhengyang fume with anger. However, in this regard, Qianjizi was an authority; his skills in divination were not limited to foresight but included many other miraculous abilities!
He looked at the Sect Leader, his expression quite serious as he said, "I believe this matter is closely related to the royal family. Everyone present understands the situation; surely you all know about the secrets fifty miles outside the city, where the Dark Exchange is located! Those who have been to the Dark Exchange should be aware of who is guarding it!"
"Are you saying it's Chifeng?" Sky Whirlwind understood and glanced meaningfully at Qianjizi as he spoke.
Qianjizi nodded. The expressions of the Hall Masters had changed dramatically. Everyone present was a Martial Saint, and as he mentioned, no one could claim to have never visited the Dark Exchange to acquire items, especially Alchemists and Refiners! Therefore, when this Exchange was brought up, everyone's faces turned grim.
After all, this was not a glorious matter. As for how Qianjizi knew that Chifeng was the guardian of the Exchange, anyone who had reached the level of Martial Saint and visited would inevitably have a keen sense for the aura of a strong individual.
The Dark Exchange might be able to evade the Current Majesty's eyes, but it could never escape the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, as everyone here had their own secrets.
"Chifeng has been entrenched in the Xuanwu Realm's peak for many years. Everyone is speculating that he is very likely the greatest candidate for the newly promoted Divine Martial Realm of the Sky Abyss Empire. Coupled with the recent disturbances, it’s not hard to guess its source!" Qianjizi continued.
Upon hearing this, Sky Whirlwind nodded in agreement. However, at that moment, he noticed that Guang Jingfu's expression was somewhat different. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Alchemist Guild Master, do you have any objections?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guang Jingfu trembled slightly, turning his head away with an awkward expression that left everyone puzzled.
Only Sky Whirlwind sensed something amiss; he continued to watch Guang Jingfu closely, seemingly trying to discern something from his eyes.
Guang Jingfu felt uncomfortable under his gaze but still dared not reveal his inner thoughts. After all, he wasn't sure about this matter either. He had sent his apprentice to the Dark Exchange to buy materials but hadn’t expected any trouble!
Although he couldn't believe Ye Feng could cause such a commotion! Normally, there were no issues at the Dark Exchange, yet today when he went there, such a disturbance erupted—how could that not raise suspicions?
However, this suspicion was something he absolutely could not let the Sect Leader know. The reason was simple: leaders of major Sects were generally wary of their disciples visiting the Dark Exchange. Even though they were aware of its existence, they understood that most items there were illicit goods!
Almost all major Sects adhered to righteousness; as righteous individuals, it was clearly inappropriate to visit such a den of thieves. As for the royal family, they probably turned a blind eye—after all, who would dare challenge such a powerful backing behind the Exchange?
"Sect Leader, I have no objections; I just think Old Master's statement is very accurate. Yes, indeed! It must be related to Chifeng!" Guang Jingfu quickly deflected.
The Hall Master did not notice anything unusual about this guy, but Sky Whirlwind's gaze told him that this person was definitely lying. He revealed a chilling smile and walked up to Guang Jingfu, leaning down to say, "I called you all here because I hope everyone can speak openly. Old Guang, don't let me down!"
Guang Jingfu felt like crying; where was he supposed to start? Gritting his teeth, he insisted, "Master, please don't make it hard for me. I'm not the Divination Master; I can't guess as accurately as Old Master. You should ask him instead!" After saying this, he turned his head away, determined not to speak.
The other Hall Masters sensed the strangeness between the two but, due to Sky Whirlwind's status, no one dared to say anything.
Qianjizi furrowed his brow as if he noticed something. At that moment, Sky Whirlwind did not make any further unusual moves; he simply cast a deep glance at Guang Jingfu before returning to his seat and calmly said:
"Let's put this matter to rest. You don't need to take it too seriously. Just go with the flow. Whether or not Chifeng has glimpsed a new realm, we should focus on our own responsibilities. Recently, there have been quite a few incidents involving the Heavenly Mechanism Sect; you all need to bear with it!"
First, there was the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons incident with the trial students, then Yue Ma Plain. Sky Whirlwind was indeed correct; the Heavenly Mechanism Sect seemed to be having a streak of bad luck or something—things were just not going well!
Seeing that the Master had said this, although surprised by his uncharacteristic behavior, everyone was even more puzzled as to why he would hastily conclude such a matter; after all, this was significant!
Qianjizi did not speak further; he silently acknowledged the Master's words and was the first to leave the Martial Arts Arena. Following him, Feng Zhengyang also shook his arms in frustration and left angrily. Everyone else dispersed as well.
Guang Jingfu harbored ulterior motives and was the last to leave, leaving behind Sky Whirlwind. No one noticed that his expression after everyone had departed was rather strange!
