Starting Cultivation During a Trip-Chapter 290 - 166: Secrets Within the Imprisoned Immortal Temple! Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang
Jiang Lai’s call came unexpectedly, but when Zhang Fan heard that ethereal and familiar voice, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are you? Are you safe?" Zhang Fan hurriedly asked.
The reason he worked so hard to capture Hai Pig was precisely to find Jiang Lai’s whereabouts!
"I’m currently... inside the Imprisoned Immortal Temple, temporarily safe."
Jiang Lai’s voice was intermittent, accompanied by "zzzz" sounds, clearly indicating that the signal over there wasn’t very good, as if it could be interrupted at any moment.
"Imprisoned Immortal Temple? How did you end up there?" Zhang Fan froze for a moment.
He had learned from the guide Lin Jianyue that the Imprisoned Immortal Temple was merely a legend of Luoxia Mountain; no one could verify it, and no one could find it.
He also thought it was just a tactic by Luoxia Town to attract tourists.
Jiang Lai actually entered that Daoist temple!? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Not long ago... Imprisoned Immortal Temple..."
Jiang Lai’s voice was choppy, but Zhang Fan managed to grasp the gist...
Not long ago, the commotion in Qilu City was notably big, especially with Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang, the brothers from Laojun Mountain, defeated by a young man named Zhao Jie Xuan, all because of the Imprisoned Immortal Temple’s appearance.
At that time, Jiang Lai was also present, ultimately benefiting and entering that Daoist temple.
According to Jiang Lai, the Imprisoned Immortal Temple is a crucial place for the Wuwei Sect, with Hai Pig responsible for guarding the outskirts. Now that Zhang Fan dealt with Hai Pig, Jiang Lai seized the opportunity to make a phone call.
"Are you safe now?"
Zhang Fan’s heart, just settled, got tense again. Since the Imprisoned Immortal Temple is so important to the Wuwei Sect, Jiang Lai entering it is tantamount to plunging into a mire!?
"Temporarily safe... there are people from the Daoist Sect among the Thirteen Zodiacs..."
At this moment, Jiang Lai revealed a bombshell, surprising Zhang Fan.
Nearby, the Liu Brothers exchanged glances, unsure what incredible news their Brother Fan had heard that made him so startled.
"Who is it?" Zhang Fan couldn’t help but ask.
"I don’t know." Jiang Lai whispered.
After entering the Imprisoned Immortal Temple, she indeed received guidance, allowing her to conceal her form and remain temporarily safe. The other party hadn’t truly shown themselves, but various clues led Jiang Lai to speculate.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan fell silent.
Since Dragon Tiger Red Moon ten years ago, Wuwei Sect’s activities have become increasingly frequent, with significant infiltration into the Daoist Sect.
The He Family of those who came forward, Shen Family of Refining Talisman, even the Observatory of Profound Mystery, and Match-3 Puzzle, all were infiltrated and meddled by the Wuwei Sect.
Wuwei Sect’s infiltration is everywhere; after all, their specialty is Primordial Spirit Possession. Even if they can’t bring you into the same camp, they can turn you into one of them.
Bai Buran remarked that the current situation is likely worse than imagined. Even within the Daoist Alliance and among the high levels of the world’s Ten Great Taoist Sects, there may be people from the Wuwei Sect.
Since that’s the case, while the Wuwei Sect can infiltrate the Daoist Sect, the Daoist Sect can also infiltrate the Wuwei Sect.
It’s just that Zhang Fan did not anticipate that the Daoist Sect could have such an extensive reach, with a skilled master directly infiltrating the Thirteen Zodiacs.
Such skill, patience, and endurance are indeed beyond ordinary imagination.
"Can you get out now?" Zhang Fan hurriedly asked.
Zzz... zzz... zzz...
A burst of static came from the phone, drowning out Jiang Lai’s voice; clearly, the signal where the Imprisoned Immortal Temple is located is extremely poor.
Previously, with Hai Pig King Tao hidden in Luoxia Town, there must have been methods to interfere with the magnetic field and block signals, since the Primordial Spirit is a massive magnetic source.
Now that Zhang Fan dealt with him, Jiang Lai was able to make a call, but it still wasn’t stable.
"I can’t for now; there’s only a path visible on the fifteenth of each month when the moon is full..."
After some interference, Jiang Lai’s voice came through again.
At the time of day and night transition, when the celestial energy is at its peak, the path to the Imprisoned Immortal Temple appears on Luoxia Mountain. Only those with Primordial Spirit Observation and fate can find it and enter that ancient Daoist temple.
"Fifteenth!?" Zhang Fan looked at the time, and it’s eight days until the next fifteenth.
"Protect yourself inside and wait for me; I’ll definitely get you out." Zhang Fan said firmly.
The other end of the phone was silent, with no response.
"Did you hear me?" Zhang Fan called out anxiously: "Damn signal!"
"I heard."
Jiang Lai’s voice came through.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan felt slightly relieved.
"What’s inside the Imprisoned Immortal Temple?" Zhang Fan asked casually.
"The... Three Corpses..."
Zzz... zzz... zzz...
After some jarring static, the signal abruptly cut off, and there was no response from Jiang Lai’s side.
"Hello... hello..."
Looking at the disconnected call, Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows and fell into silence.
"Imprisoned Immortal Temple..."
"Brother Fan, what should we do now?"
At this moment, Liu Xingtui’s voice brought Zhang Fan’s thoughts back.
"I’m afraid we’ll have to stay in Luoxia Town for a few days." Zhang Fan said solemnly.
Seeing that it’s eight days until the next full moon, Zhang Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit agitated; delays could bring changes. Especially since he just brutally dealt with Hai Pig, who knows if he’s dead or if the Wuwei Sect will get wind of it?
These are all variables!
"Dao Brother... Dao Brother..."
Just then, an urgent shouting came from the night, and Zhang Fan looked up to see Wei Qingsong leading a group of about twenty people.
Even from a distance, Wei Qingsong ordered the others to stay put and wisely walked over himself.
"Brother Wei arrived just in time." Zhang Fan said lightly.
