Chapter 1889: One more thing is worse than one less thing
Chen Nanfeng nodded slightly and said, "No matter what, the harvest this time is really beyond my expectations. Although this trip has damaged Elder Chen, for our Tianyi Sect, the harvest is still greater than the loss!"
In fact, some cultivation resources are not bad for Chen Nanfeng. Although the cultivation environment on earth continues to deteriorate, the Tianyi family is great and Chen Nanfeng is not particularly lacking in cultivation resources. However, the harvest brought back by Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou also have precious topaz spirits, which is of great help to Chen Nanfeng. In addition, a skill obtained by Chen Xuan is also very precious. Chen Nanfeng took a brief look and found that it was very helpful to him. These two things alone played a crucial role in his breakthrough in the Nascent Soul Stage.
This time, the Tianyi Gate sent elite forces to the moon. The most important purpose was to find opportunities for Chen Nanfeng to break through the Nascent Soul Stage.
Once Chen Nanfeng becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator, one sect will surpass the top sect and become a transcendent existence that day.
In contrast, it is not unacceptable to lose a mid-stage Golden Elder.
For Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou, all the gains must be given priority to Chen Nanfeng. There is nothing to say, and they will not have any ideas. Moreover, if Chen Nanfeng really can break through the Nascent Soul stage, it will be of great benefit to them, and the rewards from the sect are indispensable.
Especially Xu Yurou, who was originally not particularly outstanding among the disciples of the Qi Refining Stage, just passed the rhythm screening this time. At Xia Rufei's suggestion, another quota was added to Tianyi Sect, so she was able to follow the team to the secret realm of the moon. Now she returned safely and brought back what the leader needed. Her status in the sect naturally improved a lot and her future prospects became very bright.
Chen Nanfeng collected the topaz spirit and the technique with satisfaction, and left the remaining cultivation materials directly to Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou.
Then, Chen Nanfeng said lightly: "Tell me about Elder Chen! What do you think about this?"
Although Chen Xuan, Xia Ruofei and others described the situation of the trial tower in more detail, Chen Nanfeng did not experience it personally, especially during the time when everyone was teleported outside the trial tower, Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou on the scene could have noticed some details, and maybe some clues could be found. So Chen Nanfeng did not rashly express his opinion, but directly asked Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou.
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Father, since we entered the secret realm, we never saw Elder Chen again. Until we finally left the secret realm, we knew that Elder Chen and Elder Mu had both fallen in the trial tower, so the specific details are no longer available... However, according to my analysis, there should be no artificial factors in the death of Elder Chen and Elder Mu... After all, everyone was teleported to different small spaces, and there was no chance to meet..."
Chen Xuan knew that what Chen Nanfeng was most concerned about was nothing more than whether Chen Tianfang's death would be related to other members of the expedition team. If someone really killed Chen Tianfang, the Tianyi Sect would naturally not let it go.
Chen Nanfeng nodded gently, then turned his eyes to Xu Yurou, and said, "Tell me, Yurou!"
Xu Yurou hesitated for a moment, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Chen Nanfeng frowned slightly and said, "You can say whatever you think, especially if you find any suspicious points, just say it outright, everyone analyze it together, don't have any worries."
Xu Yurou hurriedly said, "Yes! The head of the sect... the disciples felt that human factors could not be completely ruled out. Although we were all teleported to different small spaces to complete the task, we don't know whether the other people are the same. After all, it was what they said."
Chen Xuan frowned and said, "What does Yurou mean? Are you saying that someone may have been lying?"
Xu Yurou pondered for a moment and said, "The disciples are not sure, but if the passerby may be teleported to the same small space, the deaths of Elder Chen and Elder Mu cannot be completely eliminated."
Speaking of this, Xu Yurou hesitated for a moment and continued: "Xia Rufei and Ling Qingxue both broke to the eighth floor, and the disciples thought it was a bit too coincidental. With Ling Qingxue's strength, it should be more difficult to directly break to the eighth floor. Could it be... She has always been through the level with Xia Rufei? I noticed a detail. When Xia Rufei left the trial tower, Ling Qingxue did not rush to ask about Xia Rufei's passing. It seemed that she already knew Xia Rufei's passing results. This seemed a bit unreasonable? If my previous assumption was true, then theoretically Elder Chen might be teleported to the same space with others!"
I have to say that Xu Yurou observed very carefully. Perhaps the woman's thoughts were more delicate. The details she noticed were not paid attention to by Chen Xuan, and it was quite close to the facts.
When Chen Nanfeng heard this, a trace of splendor appeared in his eyes and fell into thought.
Chen Xuan pondered for a while and said, "Yu Rou's statement is too much speculation. Ling Qingxue and Xia Rufei are Taoist couples. She is more concerned about Xia Rufei's safety, but she does not pay attention to Xia Rufei's passing grades. This is common sense. And if you carefully study the level settings of the trial tower, you will know that the task design of the trial tower is very exquisite. It is not that the higher the level of cultivation, the greater the success rate of passing the level. Ling Qingxue's ability to pass the eighth level can only show that her ability is relatively comprehensive, and it is impossible to prove that Xia Rufei led her to pass through."
Speaking of this, Chen Xuan paused and continued: "The most important thing is that with the strength of Xia Rufei and Ling Qingxue, even if they are teleported in the same space as Elder Shen, they will not be able to kill Elder Chen at all. If there is any conflict between the two sides, it will definitely be Xia Rufei and Ling Qingxue who die, not Elder Chen!"
After listening to Chen Xuan's analysis, Chen Nanfeng nodded slightly and said, "Xuan'er said something is reasonable, but it is indeed impossible to rule out the situation that Yu Rou said. And theoretically speaking, if Xia Rufei can teleport with Ling Qingxue, then Elder Chen can teleport with others, and this may not be Xia Rufei and Ling Qingxue. What if it is Yang Liu? With intentional arising and unintentional, it is possible that Elder Chen will be caught off guard and be plotted against. Maybe he and Mu Hua from Canglang Sect teleport together, because the two of them had a conflict and finally died together. This is possible."
Chen Xuan said with a wry smile: "Father, these can only be guessed, and you may never get the answer. Unless..."
"Unless Xia Rufei and Ling Qingxue were tortured and confessed," Chen Nanfeng said, "If you can ask whether they were teleported to the same space, you may find new clues..."
After Chen Nanfeng finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "This young man Xia Rufei gives me a mysterious feeling. If it were not necessary, I would not be willing to be an enemy of him... Forget it, let's stop this matter! Even if I found any clues, can I really put all the strength of the sect to avenge Elder Chen?"
Although Chen Tian’s position in Tianyi Sect is important, he is now dead. He fought for a dead man and even risked the sect’s serious damage to his strength to avenge him. In Chen Nanfeng’s opinion, it was not worth the effort and it was completely unnecessary.
Of course, if Chen Tianfang is clear that he was assassinated by someone, even if the loss is huge, he still needs to take action when it is time to take action. The majesty of the first sect in the cultivation world must be there. And if he is still a turtle in this situation, the hearts of the sect will dissipate. A sect without cohesion will not go long.
But now Shen Tianfang is falling in the secret realm, and according to everyone, there is no human factor at all, so Chen Nanfeng naturally chose to go with the flow.
Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou both nodded, and they could also guess that Chen Nanfeng would probably make this decision.
Chen Nanfeng then said, "But what should be investigated should be investigated. We can secretly pay attention to the people who have returned safely this time, except for Xuan'er and Yurou, everyone else is suspected. We must pay attention to the situation of these people. Maybe we can find some clues... I always have a feeling that Elder Chen's death should not be simple."
"I understand, father." Chen Xuan said, "After returning to the sect, I will arrange it and ask a special person to be responsible for finding clues."
Chen Nanfeng nodded and said, "Let's do it first! It's getting late, you all go and rest!"
In addition to Chen Nanfeng's side, the villa where Liu Mansha and Mu Sheng live is also a similar scene.
Of course, there was no loss of personnel in Feihua Valley, so Liu Mansha was not too concerned about the cause of death of Chen Tianfang and Mu Hua. She just asked some details again, and the focus was on the gains of this trip.
Mu Sheng learned in detail about the whole story from Mu Jianfei. Of course, they had no idea about Mu Hua's death.
Fortunately, everyone's gains were very good during this trip, and Liu Mansha and Mu Sheng were also quite satisfied.
...
Obsidian flying boats fly at high speed in the night sky.
Xia Rufei and Ling Qingxue stood on the deck of the flying boat. Ling Qingxue looked at the black night sky and asked, "Ruofei, will Tianyi Sect send someone to follow us, right?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Even if Chen Nanfeng has some doubts, he would not do so obviously! What's more, with the speed of the Obsidian Flying Boat, he can't keep up with them even if he wants to!"
"We must keep our mouths tight when we pass the barrier together!" Ling Qingxue said, "The two major sects have lost the elders. If they know that we can teleport to the same space, they will definitely doubt us!"
Xia Rufei said: "In fact, it is impossible to rule out that the two of them really fell in the mission of the Trial Tower or were killed by someone. In theory, if we can teleport together, the others have the same possibility. However, if they have the ability to kill Chen Tianfang, only Yang Liu and Mu Hua will be Yang Liu and Mu Hua. Unless Chen Tianfang was already injured at the time, the one who died must be Chen Tianfang's opponent."
Ling Qingxue agreed, nodded, and said, "So it's best to end this matter. If we say that monks can be teleported together, things will become very complicated and are likely to cause fire. Ruofei, you must remember, don't let it go."
Xia Rufei nodded with a smile and said, "I know! It's better to have less things than to do more! But if there is really trouble, we are not afraid of things. If anyone dares to mess with us, then be prepared to lose our skin too!"
With Xia Rufei's current strength, he really has the confidence. Even if the Tianyi Sect attacks the entire sect, Xia Rufei is sure to seriously damage the other party.
And if it is a one-on-one fight, even if it faces Chen Nanfeng, with the gilded soft armor and the spiritual power of the Spirit Transformation Realm, Xia Rufei has the confidence to at least escape unstoppable.
Ling Qingxue nodded and asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Go to the capital first! Take Vivi and go directly to Taoyuan Island." Xia Ruofei said, "It has been more than two months since I went to Taoyuan Island, and I don't know how it is happening there now."
"Okay! I haven't seen you for so long, and I miss Vivi too!" Ling Qingxue said, "She must be worried about us every day! Ruofei, if there is a town below, lower the flying boat first. I will send Weiwei a WeChat message and let her come out and wait for us!"
In high altitudes, mobile phones basically have no signal, so if you want to send WeChat, you must lower the height, and it is best to be in urban areas, and in the wilderness, the signal may not be as good as that.
Xia Rufei nodded and said, "No problem! There is a small town ahead, so I'll lower the flying boat first!"
Soon the Obsidian Flying Boat began to slow down, then slowly descended, floating above a wasteland outside the town, just about ten meters above the ground.
After the formation is opened, ordinary people cannot see the Obsidian Flying Boat, so there is no need to worry that such a low height will be discovered by the people in the town.
Ling Qingxue took out her cell phone and called Song Wei directly.
Although it was already late at night, Song Wei, as a cultivator, would wake up quickly if she had a little movement. So, when she opened her eyes and saw that the phone screen showed that Ling Qingxue was calling, she stood up and answered with her phone.
Song Wei stayed in the school dormitory tonight, and the graduate dormitory was a room for two. However, her roommate went out to play with her boyfriend and didn't go back to the dormitory tonight, so she didn't have to worry about what her roommate heard.
"Qingxue! Are you back?" Song Wei asked excitedly.
Ling Qingxue giggled and said, "Yes! Weiwei, we just came back and called you as soon as we landed. I'm afraid you'll be worried!"
Song Wei is really worried these days. You should know that Xia Rufei and Ling Qingxue are going to the moon hundreds of thousands of miles away! The universe is full of various unknown dangers, and there is also a desolate moon. It is terrible to think about it.
The two of them have been away for more than two months. Because Song Wei had not passed the screening of music at all, she could only stay on the earth and wait anxiously. This feeling was naturally quite painful.
"It's good to come back! It's good to come back!" Song Wei murmured, with tears of excitement in her eyes, "Qingxue, just be safe and safe with him. I've been worrying about you every day for more than two months!"
