Events from thirty thousand years ago are too far in the past; only ancient lineages or long-established powers likely have records of them.
Since the Murong royal family has records of the Fiend Monarch Jinsha, the Great Yan imperial family should also have them.
"Fiend Monarch Jinsha? Alright, I'll look into it if the opportunity arises."
Wang Tianwen agreed. It wasn't a difficult task for him, as the Myriad Immortals Registry had collected a vast number of ancient texts, and as a Vice-Commander, he had access to many of them. Events from tens of thousands of years ago, especially those not involving the imperial family, should not be an issue.
"Tianwen, you just mentioned that Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine are also in Kyoto Market. Do you know where they're staying?"
Wang Changsheng hadn't specifically hidden his identity, so Wang Tianwen naturally found out his whereabouts.
"I just had someone confirm that Great-Grandfather and Great-Grandmother are staying at the Immortals' Gathering Pavilion. Let's go together!"
Soon after, they arrived in front of a green pavilion, its door tightly shut.
Wang Qingling sent a sound transmission talisman, but after the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, there was no response.
"Uncle Nine and Aunt Nine are probably busy. We shouldn't disturb them."
Wang Qingling didn't pay it much mind. She sent another sound transmission talisman, informing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan that they had arrived in Kyoto Market.
Wang Tianwen frowned, turning his head to look in a certain direction. Wang Qiuming followed Wang Tianwen's gaze and saw a teahouse.
On the third floor, by the street-facing window, a guileless-looking young man in a red shirt was drinking tea alone.
Li Feng felt a little nervous. He had been ordered to keep an eye on the residence of the Green Lotus Immortals and dared not follow too closely, fearing he would be discovered.
He knew very well that if a Nascent Soul cultivator discovered him, he would surely die without a burial place.
As he felt uneasy, Wang Tianwen quickly walked up. He approached Li Feng, took out a square token, cupped his hands, and said, "I am Wang Tianwen, Vice-Commander of the Southern Garrison Division of the Myriad Immortals Registry. May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"
Having served in the Myriad Immortals Registry for many years, his observational skills were keen. He noticed that the other party seemed to be staring at Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's residence.
The Myriad Immortals Registry held immense power; even royal families could be investigated by them. The Registry was accountable only to the imperial family.
Li Feng was startled, thinking, "Wang Tianwen? The Wang family's reach has extended to the Central Plains immortal cultivation world?"
"I am Li Feng. The Golden Mirror Cultivator is my master. May I ask what instructions Fellow Daoist Wang has for me?"
Li Feng asked politely. The Myriad Immortals Registry had recently been arresting demonic cultivators everywhere, but since he wasn't one, he had no need to fear.
"I wouldn't dare instruct you. May I ask who Fellow Daoist Li is waiting for here? It's not far from Senior Wang's residence!"
Wang Tianwen spoke with a hidden meaning. He deliberately addressed him as "Senior Wang" to distance himself from the Green Lotus Immortals and lower the other party's guard.
"I am Li Feng. I am here by my master's wife's command, to invite Senior Wang to visit as a guest."
Li Feng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, his expression unchanged.
His heart was pounding. He could only bring up Song Yuning, as claiming to be acting on the Golden Mirror Elder's orders would make it difficult to maintain the lie.
Wang Tianwen suddenly realized. He had heard from colleagues that many high-level cultivators wanted to befriend the Green Lotus Immortals, and they had sent their disciples to stand guard near Wang Changsheng's residence. As soon as Wang Changsheng appeared, these people would send messages to their sect elders.
"I see, then there's no issue."
Wang Tianwen turned to leave. Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief, his entire body relaxing.
Wang Tianwen suddenly stopped, turning to look at Li Feng. Li Feng's expression was normal, and he said with a smile, "What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Wang? Is there anything else?"
"Nothing, you carry on."
Wang Tianwen shook his head and quickly left.
As he passed Wang Changsheng's residence, he sent a sound transmission talisman, inquiring about the Golden Mirror Elder.
Li Feng's behavior was somewhat peculiar, but Wang Tianwen couldn't pinpoint what was amiss. Out of caution, he decided to ask Wang Changsheng about it.
"Aunt Qingling, Uncle Qiuming, I still have a mission to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Wang Tianwen bid farewell to Wang Qingling and Wang Qiuming, and parted ways with them.
Wang Qingling and Wang Qiuming found a place to stay. Since Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were in Kyoto Market, they decided to remain there as well.
Wang Qiuming's cultivation bottleneck had loosened, so he planned to enter seclusion for a period of cultivation. Wang Qingling, on the other hand, intended to engage in beast battles with other high-level cultivators, hoping to resolve her bottleneck through this experience.
South Sea, Five Dragons Sea Region.
On Green Lotus Island, a white streak of light appeared on the horizon, rapidly flying towards the island.
When the white streak of light approached ten li from Green Lotus Island, its speed automatically decreased.
The light retracted, revealing a white flying boat over ten zhang long. The white flying boat shimmered with spiritual light, and dozens of cultivators stood upon it, with Zhang Wuchen at the forefront.
Zhang Wuchen's expression was indifferent. She had never imagined that Wang Changsheng was actually a descendant of the Sea Suppressing Sect, or more precisely, that Wang Changsheng had obtained the Sea Suppressing Ape.
Yellow Dragon Island had a legacy of over a thousand years, with much blood on its hands. Even Zhang Wuchen herself couldn't count how many cultivators she had killed. If someone sought revenge, she truly wouldn't be able to trace them.
The cultivator who killed Yuan Gang possessed a Sea Suppressing Ape. Coincidentally, when True Monarch Yellow Dragon sent his disciples to the Golden Whale Sea Region to gather information, Zhang Wuchen happened to discover them.
She found that the cultivators from Yellow Dragon Island were inquiring whether True Monarch Taihao had appeared on Golden Whale Island. This meant Yellow Dragon Island suspected Wang Changsheng of killing Yuan Gang.
She sent people to investigate the Wang family's past over the years, and discovered that the Wang family initially developed in the Coral Sea Region. Later, their stronghold was attacked, which led them to develop in the Red Moon Sea Region.
Zhang Wuchen expended great effort to finally ascertain that the attackers of the Wang family were from Yellow Dragon Island. Everything now made sense.
Wang Changsheng possessed a Sea Suppressing Ape. He could be a descendant of the Sea Suppressing Sect, or he might have subdued the Sea Suppressing Ape by chance. The former seemed more likely.
When Zhang Wuchen led the assault on the Sea Suppressing Sect's main headquarters back then, she had personally witnessed the two Vice-Sect Masters cooperating. Coincidentally, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were skilled in combined attack techniques.
Among the Sun and Moon Palace cultivators who attacked the Sea Suppressing Sect's main headquarters that year, only Zhang Wuchen was still alive. This meant outsiders had no idea that the Sea Suppressing Sect had developed combined attack techniques.
Zhang Wuchen recalled that the Green Lotus Immortals rarely engaged in combat with others, so outsiders were completely unaware of their divine abilities. Her current journey was to verify her own judgment.
She felt a mixture of surprise and joy. She was surprised that the ally she had tirelessly sought was her own in-law, and joyful that with the help of two Nascent Soul cultivators, her chances of success had increased further.
Soon after, the white flying boat stopped, and Zhang Wuchen sent a sound transmission talisman.
Soon, Wang Mengfen led a team of cultivators out to greet them.
"This junior greets Senior Zhang."
"Dispense with the formalities. I have something to discuss with Fellow Daoist Wang. Please lead us inside first!"
Zhang Wuchen commanded.
Wang Mengfen dared not neglect her, promptly agreed repeatedly, and invited Zhang Wuchen into Green Lotus Island.
