Chapter 455 remains unrecorded; the one being sought.
On Jingu Island, the mountains stand tall and majestic.
At its summit, the Wanghaitai (Viewing the Sea Platform) was built, suspended in mid-air, offering panoramic views of the vast sea and the beautiful clouds.
At this moment, two streaks of light flashed like shooting stars and suddenly stopped in front of the Wanghaitai, revealing the figures of Chu Lengyu and Danzhu.
Tang, the magistrate, was already waiting there.
Upon seeing the two arrive, he stepped forward, bowed to Chu Lengyu, and said with a smile and earnestness: "Fellow Daoist, today's events were truly a misunderstanding, and the entire Myriad Star Alliance is deeply sorry for this. We must thank you for your help in vanquishing the demon and saving our disciples."
Tang's words revealed his desire to minimize the problem and resolve it peacefully.
After all, grudges and entanglements often have far-reaching consequences. For him, now that Jingu Island is under the spotlight, it would be best to let this matter go easily.
Chu Lengyu understood the unspoken meaning. From the moment the formation was not activated, she knew that Master Tang's attitude was that he did not want to be her enemy.
The other party didn't mention the Demon Clan, the Wei Family, or the Law of Heaven and Earth, only waiting for her to name her price.
She said softly, "Master Tang, you are too kind. Today's events were indeed a misunderstanding. Moreover, the fake 'Master Qingsong' is the real culprit. If he hadn't done evil, this whole mess wouldn't have happened."
"Fellow Daoist is absolutely right. Our alliance will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and will never let any villain escape justice." Upon hearing this, Master Tang nodded repeatedly, his expression resolute.
After a brief conversation, the atmosphere gradually eased.
To express their apology and sincerity, the Wanxing Alliance prepared a generous compensation for Chu Lengyu.
She didn't refuse, nodded slightly, and gladly accepted it.
A moment later, Chu Lengyu's figure gracefully appeared, carrying the compensation from the Myriad Stars Alliance, and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the void, leaving only Danzhu and Master Tang standing on the Sea-Viewing Platform, watching her depart.
As for the remnant soul of "Master Qingsong" that might exist in the landscape scroll, it was carefully preserved by the Wanxing Alliance for future detailed investigation.
After confirming that she had indeed left, Danzhu handed over the landscape scroll in her hand and asked in a low voice, "Could she be the person you're looking for?"
Although they didn't have much contact, as a spirit, she was able to sense things that ordinary people couldn't perceive.
This mysterious "Fellow Daoist Xia" is quite impressive.
Master Tang took the scroll, his gaze deep, a leisurely smile playing on his lips: "Who knows? Let's take another look."
People are like the water in a stream, flowing in and out until they reach the ocean, where there are no more waves. (Note: From the internet, not original content)
No matter what kind of genius or hero he is, once he falls into the vastness of this starry world, he will be reduced to a mere mortal and pale in comparison.
When he chose to join the Myriad Stars Alliance, he wanted to find someone truly worthy of his attention in this most bustling and prosperous place.
Over the years, I've only managed to find one or two close friends.
Tang opened the scroll and saw a dim soul rushing around in the landscape painting, like a headless fly, anxiously searching for a way out.
However, Master Tang ignored this divine soul.
He reached out and gently probed into the painting, his fingers piercing the boundary between reality and illusion, and suddenly pulled out a hazy wisp of smoke from the "river" in the painting.
The smoke twisted and struggled, emitting a mournful wail; it was none other than the "Master Qingsong," who thought he had hidden himself perfectly.
"Impossible! Who are you!" he screamed repeatedly, his heart filled with disbelief and horror.
He couldn't understand how someone could find his hiding place so easily and break his parasitic Five Elements technique, which was his only means of survival!
In his memory, wasn't this Master Tang always rumored to be young, shallow, opportunistic, and only holding a good position because of a mysterious master, without any real ability?
However, at this moment, the strength and methods displayed by Master Tang filled him with unprecedented fear.
Tang, the Commander, looked at the struggling demon in his hands with a cruel smile on his face: "Heh, it's a parasitic race, isn't it?"
The parasite knew something was wrong and hurriedly tried to call for help, only to be shocked to find that its methods were no longer usable.
……
With the return of the elders of the Thousand Mist Sect, order was restored, and the chaotic situation on the island gradually subsided.
The panicked cultivators, as if waking from a dream, gradually recovered from their shock and began to discuss among themselves.
Many others with shallower cultivation levels exclaimed and screamed, gesturing exaggeratedly at the enormous hand that had blotted out the sky, as if they had witnessed a god descending.
"Did you see that? That enormous Dharma image blotted out the sky, it was terrifying!" a cultivator exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly with his hands as if trying to recreate the power of that giant hand.
"Yes, I've never seen such terrifying power in my life. Just who is that senior?" Another cultivator asked, his face filled with shock and awe.
On the dock, the monks chatted amongst themselves, discussing everything that had just happened.
Meanwhile, Chu Lengyu, disguised as a disciple, had quietly returned to the Hundred Swords Pavilion team. Amid the chaos, the whereabouts of a Foundation Establishment disciple went unnoticed.
The members of the Hundred Swords Pavilion finally recovered from their shock, feeling both relieved and slightly fearful.
"That was terrifying. I almost thought we were all doomed from that scene," a disciple of the Hundred Swords Pavilion said, still shaken by the experience.
"Yes, even the arena's protective array couldn't hold. Luckily, the elder intervened in time, otherwise we might have really been in trouble." Another disciple nodded in agreement, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Alright, everyone, don't panic." An elder from the Hundred Swords Pavilion immediately reassured everyone, calming them down.
The elder's gaze lingered on Chu Lengyu for a moment longer. Chu Lengyu had not yet returned when the chaos occurred, which worried him greatly.
Senior Sister Zhao couldn't help but offer a few words of advice to Chu Lengyu.
Although she now has great faith in Junior Sister Chu's abilities, she, as the senior sister, still cannot neglect to remind her of things that need to be reminded.
After giving her detailed and repetitive instructions, Senior Sister Zhao sighed and said, "If you encounter something like this again, Junior Sister, you should find a safe place to hide as soon as possible. Don't come looking for us. When those senior experts fight, sinking islands is commonplace for them. They won't care about our lives."
After saying that, she muttered, "But where did that senior come from? He didn't give Qianlan Sect any face at all and started fighting right here. But that Dharma Image is really powerful. I really want to learn from him..."
The other disciples were also discussing and speculating.
Chu Lengyu smiled upon hearing this but remained silent.
At this moment, chaos reigned at the dock, and the disorderly situation had already attracted the attention of the Myriad Star Alliance.
Upon hearing the news, the members of the Myriad Star Alliance sprang into action, quickly lining up at various points along the dock to maintain order and conduct thorough searches to prevent any remaining demonic forces from taking advantage of the situation and causing further chaos.
Although the members of the Hundred Swords Pavilion were also frightened, fortunately they did not suffer any substantial losses.
The fairy boat moored on the dock was still intact, which put everyone at ease.
If this immortal ship is damaged, the sect leader will be heartbroken.
The elder stepped forward and tentatively asked if he could take the opportunity to leave, but the person from the Myriad Stars Alliance shook his head and denied his request.
Chaos reigned at the dock, with some taking advantage of the chaos to rob, kill, and sabotage the celestial ships, causing numerous problems. In such a situation, how could anyone easily leave?
Seeing this, the elder understood that there was no hope of leaving at this moment, so he could only sigh helplessly and turn to leave.
Just then, a person of even higher rank flew down from the sky and landed on the ground.
He stopped the Hundred Swords Pavilion elder who was about to leave, and said earnestly, "I apologize, fellow Daoist. The situation is not yet completely stable, and there have been many oversights. Please forgive us. After our investigation, there is nothing suspicious about the Hundred Swords Pavilion. You may leave now."
His voice carried a sincere apology, which made people feel good about him.
Upon hearing this, the elder felt a great weight lifted from his heart. He quickly clasped his hands in gratitude and said, "Thank you for your care, Myriad Star Alliance. We will take our leave now and will not disturb you any longer."
After saying this, he decisively turned around and led the Hundred Swords Pavilion members away from the chaotic dock, fearing that any further delay would cause further complications.
The Myriad Star Alliance and the Thousand Mist Sect are wealthy and powerful; they wouldn't even bat an eye if they sank the entire Golden Gu Island.
However, the Hundred Swords Pavilion is different. They are a small and insignificant organization, and every resource they possess is extremely precious and cannot afford to be lost.
This immortal ship serves not only as a symbol of the sect on ordinary days, but also needs to be rented out to others in its spare time to earn rental income, making it an important asset of the Hundred Swords Pavilion.
Of course, people are the most important thing.
The group from Baijian Pavilion walked through the dock, their figures attracting considerable attention.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators quickly made way, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Passersby began to inquire about what kind of sect the Hundred Swords Pavilion was, that even the Myriad Stars Alliance treated it with such courtesy.
Although this matter has come to a temporary end, the turmoil in the world has never truly subsided.
On Jingu Island, the winds rise and the waves surge, seemingly foreshadowing that the future remains uncertain.
