Chapter 150: Thick Mist

Chapter 150: Layers of Mist

Thinking that a Golden Immortal Cultivator had made a move, Ouyang Tianchen felt somewhat perplexed.

The Golden Immortal Cultivators in the Jian Sea Area were few in number.

In the entire sea area,

The Golden Immortal Cultivators on the surface would not exceed fifty people.

Even if there were some hidden, it was estimated that there wouldn't be too many.

As for the Golden Immortal Cultivators of the Dao Saint Sect, there were only Lian Zhengyu and Song Heguang.

Among them, Lian Zhengyu was stationed in the Sect and almost never went out.

As for Song Heguang, who guarded the market, he had already gone to the Heavenly Palace Sea Domain two thousand years ago and had not yet returned.

If Song Heguang were still in the market, Ouyang Lihe and the others would not have chosen to act.

They weren't so foolish as to intercept Disciples of the Dao Saint Sect right under the nose of a Golden Immortal Cultivator.

So, the question arises:

If it wasn't a Golden Immortal Cultivator from the Dao Saint Sect, then who killed Ouyang Lishan and Ouyang Lihe?

Ouyang Tianchen felt as if a thick mist enveloped him, preventing him from seeing the truth of the matter clearly.

Standing in the main hall, he pondered silently for a long time before asking Ouyang Tianwu, who was beside him,

"Tianwu, what do you think of this matter?"

With so many True Immortals perishing at once, the matter naturally couldn't be left at that.

But the problem was, they needed to know who did it.

Currently, they were allied with the Qian Family and preparing to make a move against the Dao Saint Sect.

Now, a new enemy suddenly appeared, which made him hesitate.

If they didn't clarify the situation, how could they dare to easily act against the Dao Saint Sect?

What if, while they were fighting to the death, someone else stole their home? Wouldn't that be a joke?

He needed to figure out whether this suddenly appearing Golden Immortal was a lone wolf or from another force.

If he was from another force,

For example, a Golden Immortal from the Nine Immortals Sect.

Then things would be difficult.

That would mean that this incident might be a warning from the Nine Immortals Sect to them.

Telling them not to act against the Dao Saint Sect anymore.

But was that really the case?

Ouyang Tianchen did not jump to conclusions easily.

Ouyang Tianwu, standing by, naturally understood the Family Head's meaning.

However, the incident was sudden, and he couldn't figure out the key points either.

After a long while of consideration, he slowly said,

"There are several possibilities for this matter."

"The first possibility is that the Dao Saint Sect might have a hidden Golden Immortal Cultivator, and this time it was their hidden Golden Immortal who made the move."

"The second possibility is that a Golden Immortal Cultivator from another sea area happened to pass by the scene of the incident and intervened."

"The last possibility is that other forces in the Jian Sea Area have already intervened in this matter."

"As for whether it's the Nine Immortals Sect or the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, that's hard to say."

"Even the Qian Family is a possibility."

After listening to Ouyang Tianwu's analysis,

Ouyang Tianchen slowly sat down in his chair, his fingers gently tapping the table.

He had to admit that Ouyang Tianwu's analysis was very reasonable.

If it was the first possibility, then it would be easy to handle.

The Dao Saint Sect originally had only two Golden Immortals; even if there was one more Golden Immortal, it wouldn't matter.

They could just use this as an excuse to destroy the Dao Saint Sect in one fell swoop.

As for the second possibility, that also didn't matter much.

A passing Golden Immortal Cultivator wouldn't always meddle in affairs and might have already left the Jian Sea Area.

Even if the other party hadn't left and still wanted to meddle, it wouldn't matter.

They weren't afraid of one more Golden Immortal Cultivator.

What they feared was the third possibility.

If other forces intervened, then things would be difficult.

And in Ouyang Tianchen's view, this was the most likely possibility.

The reason was simple:

Other forces did not want the Ouyang Family to take advantage of the Dao Saint Sect's destruction to grow stronger.

As for which force made the move, they could investigate slowly later.

A Golden Immortal Cultivator making a move couldn't leave no traces.

As long as they investigated carefully, they would eventually find out.

However, before clarifying the matter,

They were indeed not suitable to act against the Dao Saint Sect again.

Doing so would not only allow others to take advantage but also easily put the Ouyang Family in danger.

Thinking of this,

Ouyang Tianchen immediately stood up and said to Ouyang Tianwu,

"Immediately activate the hidden agents in other forces to thoroughly investigate this matter."

"Especially to find out the movements of those Golden Immortal Cultivators during this period."

"In addition, before the matter is clarified, temporarily do not act against the Dao Saint Sect anymore."

"Yes, Family Head."

Hearing Ouyang Tianchen's words, Ouyang Tianwu gently breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that the Family Head would be irrational and act against the Dao Saint Sect out of hatred.

If they did that, they would very likely fall into someone else's trap.

Now it seemed that Ouyang Tianchen's mind was still very clear.

He had not lost his reason due to anger.

…

The Ouyang Family suddenly lost more than ten True Immortal Cultivators.

This caused a huge uproar throughout the Jian Sea Area.

Especially the demise of Ouyang Lishan, which astonished everyone.

Everyone knew that to kill Ouyang Lishan in a short time,

A Golden Immortal Cultivator must have made the move.

There was no unwritten rule in the Immortal Realm that high-level Cultivators should not attack low-level Cultivators.

One could only say that Ouyang Lishan was unlucky to have run into the muzzle of some Golden Immortal big shot.

With the propagation of those with ulterior motives, the course of events gradually surfaced.

Ouyang Lishan and Ouyang Lihe led people to intercept Xie Mingyuan, who was returning to the Sect.

As a result, Xie Mingyuan returned to the market, while Ouyang Lishan and the others all perished.

After the news spread, Xie Mingyuan was caught in a huge vortex.

Everyone's attention was focused on him.

Everyone was very curious as to which Golden Immortal Cultivator was helping Xie Mingyuan.

Or, perhaps, the whole thing was a trap from the beginning.

Xie Mingyuan spread rumors of his return to the Sect, luring Ouyang Lishan and others to act.

Then, a Golden Immortal Cultivator hidden nearby killed Ouyang Lishan and the others in one fell swoop.

It was a simple but very effective trap.

As for which Golden Immortal made the move, perhaps only Xie Mingyuan knew.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Xie Mingyuan was a ruthless person.

He used himself as bait and killed two Core Disciples of the Ouyang Family in one fell swoop.

In addition, he also killed more than ten True Immortals.

It had been a long time since such a ruthless person appeared in the Jian Sea Area.

Everyone wanted to find Xie Mingyuan to inquire about the situation.

Unfortunately, ever since he returned to the market, Xie Mingyuan had stayed in his Immortal Cave and never left.

Even if everyone was curious, they had no way of knowing the answer.

However, when everyone passed by Xie Mingyuan's Immortal Cave, they would quietly glance inside.

The Ouyang Family even sent a Golden Immortal Cultivator to monitor the Immortal Cave for a long time.

As long as Xie Mingyuan dared to leave the market, he would be captured in one fell swoop.

They thought that as long as Xie Mingyuan was captured, the course of events would become very clear.

However, they were destined to be disappointed.

Xie Mingyuan had no intention of coming out at all.

Let alone leaving the market, he didn't even step out of the Immortal Cave's door by half a step.

Xie Mingyuan naturally understood that he was in the center of a vortex, and going out now would be seeking death.

Because he was the one who spread the news himself.

To cover for Zhang Yuhe, he deliberately spread the news.

Making everyone believe that he had teamed up with a certain Golden Immortal Cultivator to trick the Ouyang Family.

This way, no one would associate the matter with Zhang Yuhe.

Xie Mingyuan thought highly of this Junior Brother who had just Ascended to the Immortal Realm.

He believed that as long as Zhang Yuhe was given enough time, he would definitely grow into a formidable figure.

At that time, what would a small Ouyang Family count for?

Everything he did was to buy time for Zhang Yuhe.
