Chapter 1165 The Reason Behind!

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Lin Qingyis cell phone suddenly rang in the Peace Factions hall.

The atmosphere there was particularly strained.

Now that the phone rang, everyones faces became even more solemn.

Hiss

Lin Qingyi took out his phone and looked at it. After taking a deep breath, he answered the call very reluctantly.

Faction Leader Lin, long time no see.

A kindly voice could be heard on the phone.

This is Faction Leader Duan from the Duanmen Faction in Dali. We havent seen each other in a long while. Apart from the wine party, it has been several years since we last met. Isnt that right?

Lin Qingyi smiled wryly.

At the wine tasting, Id wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, but Heaven Dew had my undivided attention. Nevertheless, lets talk about former times, shall we?

Lin Qingyi could hear his loud laughter over the phone.

Faction Leader Duan, no worries. If you have anything to ask, just say it. But if not, how about I pay a visit to your place? Lin Qingyi replied.

Good.

On the other end of the phone, Faction Leader Duan answered directly and got to the point. Since youre so direct, Ill be aboveboard with you. To tell you the truth, I want to know if the news exposed by Ma Chunyu, your former elder, was for real?

Do you believe it?

Lin Qingyi burst out laughing and said, Our Peace Faction has always been in harmony with the others, but Ma Chunyu broke our factions rules, so I personally punished him and destroyed his kung fu skill. Why did he say that? It was because he wanted revenge. Why didnt he broadcast its location if the secret land is real? That way, others will soon take my precious land away from me and ruin my factions future development. Then he would perfectly exact his revenge plan, wouldnt he?

Lin Qingyi made up an explanation and said it slowly and placidly

He pretended to be neither nervous nor worried. After a few casual explanations, he hung up the phone indifferently, regardless whether Faction Leader Duan believed him or not.

However, just as he hung up, the other forces called him, one after another.

All the forces in Wulin had the same question, if the tale was true.

Lin Qingyi, filled with anger, could only reply to them one by one: no, all the talk about the secret land was a lie!

To his dismay, it was not easy to explain something away with merely a few words, in Wulin.

Especially when the matter was related to the ancient ruin!

Although all the forces had called Lin Qingyi and heard his denials, none of them believed it.

As the saying goes, theres no smoke without fire.

Everyone thought this secret land was very likely to be real, but Lin Qingyi wanted to keep the public in the dark about it his faction was not willing to share the pie.

Therefore, no one believed Lin Qingyis statement.

On the contrary, after Lin Qingyi denied it with all his might, the various forces increased their efforts to look for Ma Chunyu.

Everyone was very clear about one thing.

Undoubtedly, Ma Chunyu was of utmost importance.

Ma Chunyu alone could confirm whether it was real or not, so they should find him first to confirm it.

While all the forces dedicated themselves to searching for Ma Chunyu, people from the Peace Faction were also fervently looking for him. They were going all out to track down and punish Ma Chunyu, the traitor.

However, in the eyes of all the forces, their actions seemed very suspicious.

If the so-called secret land didnt exist, the Peace Faction didnt need to worry about it at all. They could just let the other forces find him. Why did they have to do it so blatantly themselves?

It was obvious that they were playing tricks: sometimes people would surprisingly believe in the most suspicious deeds.

It was a pity that those wily old birds from each force didnt buy it at all. The Peace Faction failed to deceive them when they glossed over their lies.

Not long after, the various forces found the inn on Mount Hua, according to Ma Chunyus IP location, when he uploaded his hot post. However, he was long gone. Since the last time he appeared on the online forum, Ma Chunyu had never logged on to his account again. Instantly, everyone lost his trail.

After Lin Qingyi received the news, he immediately figured out that Ma Chunyu had planned to fight him to the death at the wine party. However, he did not get the chance, so he chose to expose the secret on the forum.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyi felt even more anxious. No matter what, he must find Ma Chunyu and shut him up before the other forces got to him!

h.e.l.lo?

In the cultivation base in Beijiang, Fang Qiu received a call from He Gaoming.

Master.

As soon as he answered, He Gaoming immediately spoke up, Something big has happened on the Wulin online forum.

Oh?

Fang Qiu was slightly taken aback.

Do you still remember Ma Chunyu?

He Gaoming reminded him, Hes the Peace Factions abandoned elder who lost his kung fu skills. In retaliation and to get his revenge on the Peace Faction, he exposed an astounding piece of news on the forum, saying that the Peace Faction found a secret place in Zangjiang. I wont tell you the details on the phone. Hurry up and go to the forum to have a look.

Alright.

Fang Qiu answered and hung up the phone.

Then, he immediately accessed the Wulin online forum through his phone.

He logged onto the forum.

Ma Chunyus tell-all post was conspicuous on the forums front page with its headline highlighted in red.

Fang Qiu clicked on it to check.

Secret Land, the formation, and an ancient ruin?

After scanning the whole post, Fang Qiu couldnt help frowning slightly.

From this post, this was the first time he had heard of an ancient relic protected by a formation.

He had encountered two ancient ruins, the Great Hand of Destruction and the Great Hand of Formlessness. With each one, he obtained top-level techniques. But he had never come across one where there were ancient formations?

Could there be any formation set up by the ancient talents to protect the relics in this world?

Unlike others, Fang Qiu focused on the formation.

As for the other ancient things, such as techniques or treasures, they existed. After all, the divine sword Fang Qiu had was one of the ancient treasures, and the Great Hand of Destruction and the Great Hand of Formlessness he learned were ancient cultivation methods.

But formations were different.

At least until now, except for the terrain he had comprehended, Fang Qiu had never seen a real formation.

On second thought, the formation that couldnt be opened even with a whole factions power must be excellent and rare.

If he could learn it, wouldnt he be unmatched anywhere in the world?

The whole Wulin was in an uproar!

All the forces, big and small, were at a loss about what to do because they couldnt find Ma Chunyu. Then, a surprising piece of news spread among all the Wulin forces, like a gust of wind.

Ma Chunyu is online!

He Gaoming always paid attention to the Wulin online forum and would inform Fang Qiu of any latest and important news. Among all the Wulin forces, there were people doing the same task as him.

Therefore

As soon as Ma Chunyu logged into the forum, all the forces knew it.

Everyone immediately went online to check it.

They were ready to search for Ma Chunyus IP.

But before they even started, Ma Chunyu updated his secret-revealing post.

I offended John Doe because I have fought with his subordinates and witnessed their formation, which I fancied. I wanted to study it and find an opportunity to break the great formation of the secret land. Thats why I provoked John Doe.

When John Doe came to my faction, Lin Qingyi offered to fight with John Doe. If he lost, he would hand me over; if he won, John Doe would have to agree to one condition: give him information about the formation.

I knew this secret, so Lin Qingyi didnt dare to hand me over to John Doe, let alone allow me to go down the mountain. If I hadnt been smart, I would have died on the mountain long ago!

You can ask John Doe about all this!

There were three short paragraphs in the new post.

The information in the three short paragraphs was overwhelming.

Like a bomb, his words set Wulin on fire again.

So now, it seems everything is out in the open.

Maybe John Doe found an ancient relic, which is how he won his current status. Otherwise, how could his subordinates know any formation?

Now Im more certain that the news is authentic.

Where is Ma Chunyu now?

For a time, there was various news flying around.

All kinds of speculations rose one after another.

When the Wulin forces saw the information, they secretly came to the conclusion that the news was true.

Ma Chunyu was still hiding in the dark.

So, all the forces were no longer satisfied with making phone calls. Instead, they sent out visiting cards to the Peace Faction, saying that they would visit the Peace Faction tomorrow.

This time, Lin Qingyi was in great distress.

The four clans, eight factions, and sixteen sects were all coming.

He could muddle through on the phone, but how could he lie if he came face to face with them? They were leaders of all the forces who were as scheming as him!

Whats going on with this ancient relic? Why does it seem that all the large and small forces are very interested in it? The Wulin forces must have overreacted!

In the cultivation base of Beijiang, Fang Qiu called He Gaoming.

After all, he did not know much about the ancient ruin.

There must be something good.

He Gaoming said, In the ancient ruin, there may be ancient treasures. Of course, everyone wants to get them.

Thats all?

Fang Qiu was stunned and said, Then these people are excessively greedy. They even want to compete for a relic!

You cant say that. If there really is a treasure land, its worth it.

He Gaoming smirked and asked, Master, after all, we have an advantage over them. Whether we can open that ancient relic depends on the Combined Attack that you taught us. Since we hold the upper hand, should we join in?

I dont have any plans for the time being.

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, This thing is of little interest to me!

He Gaoming was speechless.

My master is so unique.

All Wulin people have gravitated toward the ancient relic. But it has no appeal for him at all?

Isnt he too ascetic about the entire matter?

Fang Qiu hung up the phone.

But soon after that, it rang again.

It was Li Ji.

h.e.l.lo?

Fang Qiu answered his call.

Have you heard about the secret land in Zangjiang?

Li Ji got straight to the point.

Yes.

Fang Qiu nodded and said, I dont understand why the secret land that may be an ancient relic has become the main focus of all of Wulin forces. Do you know why?

Because it is the fastest way for them to obtain unprecedented success.

Li Jis voice sounded. Back then, after the Nirvana master discovered and obtained an ancient relic all to himself, he amazed the Wulin world and became invincible!
