Long Weijiang turned his head to look at the Young Master, and Jiang Chen immediately fixed his gaze on the Young Master's face.
"It was because Zhan saved me back then that I brought him by my side. Later, I found out he was an Ancient Martial Artist, and a legendary Soul Warrior. When I asked him, he only said he was from the ancient sect Yunpiao Sect and didn't say anything else."
The Young Master smiled bitterly: "Our conversations were quite in sync, so we started playing around together. Later, because the three of us often appeared together, we got the title of the Three Young Masters!"
Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment; the title of the Three Young Masters came about so casually, something he hadn't expected!
Gently furrowing his brow, Jiang Chen asked again, "So, does that mean you haven't been to Yunpiao Sect either?"
"No!" The Young Master shook his head lightly.
Jiang Chen blinked and turned to Supreme Hu Sha, cautiously saying: "Supreme Hu Sha, do you... know where Yunpiao Sect is?"
"Haha!" Supreme Hu Sha couldn't help but laugh: "You kid issued a challenge, saying you'd seek guidance at noon on Monday, yet you don't even know where their sect is? Where are you going to challenge them the day after tomorrow?"
"I..." Jiang Chen was at a loss for words. He glanced at the Young Master and his companion and said in an exasperated tone: "Do you know or not? If you know, just say, I'd appreciate that!"
"Haha!"
"Haha..."
Seeing Jiang Chen's awkward situation, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Making Jiang Chen flustered nowadays is no easy feat, especially since he dug this hole himself!
"Actually, you've been to Yunpiao Sect, you just didn't realize," Supreme Hu Sha said with a gentle smile.
Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, and asked in surprise, "I've been there?!"
"To be precise, you've been at the gate of their sect, but didn't know there was a sect there!" Supreme Hu Sha smiled slightly and then his expression darkened a little: "Back then, to investigate Yunpiao Sect, we in the Flame Dragon Group lost several elite members!"
Jiang Chen said helplessly, "Supreme Hu Sha, can you stop keeping me in suspense?"
"Alright!"
Supreme Hu Sha took a breath and said softly, "The sect of Yunpiao Sect is in the mountain range where Elixir Valley is located, less than a hundred kilometers from Elixir Valley, and just a few miles from the battlefield where Dragon Saint Senior and others fought. However, the mountain where their sect is located is shrouded by a large formation. If you don't look carefully, you won't find it. It's as if that mountain doesn't exist!"
Jiang Chen froze for a moment, his brows furrowed once again: "So, during the two battles at Elixir Valley back then, Yunpiao Sect could have detected it all, but they chose to stand by?"
"You could say that!"
Supreme Hu Sha nodded lightly: "We've never acted against Yunpiao Sect, not only due to potential dangers but also because they have been staying within that mountain gate all these years. Apart from Young Master Zhan being responsible for procuring supplies, only one person named Ling Piaofeng left that mountain peak not long ago! They haven't disturbed anyone else or disrupted the Secular World!"
"If that's the case..."
Jiang Chen gently furrowed his brow: "Then I can't use force to storm their gate? After all, they haven't hurt anyone, and it's unclear whether they are waiting for an era to arrive or preparing to usher in one!"
Supreme Hu Sha smiled wryly: "That's what makes them tricky; we have no reason to move against them!"
"Now we do!"
Jiang Chen softly said, "The day after tomorrow, I'll go and probe. Since I can't use force, I'll just visit them. The conflict exists, so let's use this as a pretext to at least gauge their attitude!"
"That works, but..." Supreme Hu Sha showed a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Jiang Chen smiled and waved his hand: "I heard from Old Master Song that for the future of Flame Dragon, it's inconvenient for the Flame Dragon Group to intervene in the matter of Yunpiao Sect. It's alright; I'll find others to come with me."
"Sorry!" Supreme Hu Sha apologized sincerely.
Jiang Chen lightly shook his head with a smile.
After discussing for a while longer, Supreme Hu Sha, the Young Master, and others left one after another.
Jiang Chen pondered for a long time, making call after call.
...
Monday.
At the old site of Elixir Valley in the Warrior Mountain Range, Qianxing Province.
Jiang Chen, Flame Tiger, Ying Zi, Leng Ming, Mi Jiaro, Xi'er, Tai Shang Huang, Yue Tianzheng, Zhou Wanchen, Wu Qianxun were resting in the valley.
At this time, Elixir Valley had become a ruin, and all the corpses had been thoroughly cleaned up by the Flame Dragon Group, as leaving so many corpses here could lead to outbreaks of epidemics.
"Mr. Jiang, is Yunpiao Sect really a sect left over from before the end of Ancient Martial times?!" Tai Shang Huang queried softly, still somewhat in disbelief despite having confirmed it.
Jiang Chen helplessly nodded: "It really is!"
"This... then it's very strange! Why are there no records of them throughout all the dynasties? Only when Flame Dragon was founded and during Flame Dragon Group's massive sweep were they discovered?! Have they always been hiding?" Emperor Taiji couldn't understand.
Jiang Chen froze briefly, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes: "Right! How did I overlook this? They couldn't have been hiding since before the end of Ancient Martial times without being discovered, right? This..."
Furrowing his brow deeply, Jiang Chen said solemnly: "This is a big question. It seems, once we reach Yunpiao Sect, a thorough investigation is needed!"
Whoosh!
A figure swiftly leapt into Elixir Valley.
"Young Master, I'm back!" Spirit You approached Jiang Chen, speaking with meaningful intent.
After Jiang Chen refined the Unification Elixir, Spirit You had gone back to Unchanging Valley and only now returned upon receiving Jiang Chen's call to join them.
Jiang Chen nodded lightly: "Good!"
Looking up at the sky, Jiang Chen nodded towards it, glanced around, and softly called: "Let's go, and see what Yunpiao Sect intends to do!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Everyone moved as one and leapt towards the outside of the valley.
In the sky over a thousand meters high, an old man had been watching from above. He saluted towards Jiang Chen when he nodded to the sky, and upon seeing Jiang Chen and the others leave, he vanished in a flash.
...
In front of a cliff in the Warrior Mountain Range.
Swish, swish, swish!
Jiang Chen, Flame Tiger, Spirit You, Ying Zi, Mi Jiaro, Leng Ming, and Wu Qianxun leapt to the edge of the cliff.
"Huh? According to the address given by Supreme Hu Sha, this is the place, right?" Flame Tiger looked at the cliff with puzzlement.
In front of them lay a bottomless chasm, with its opposite side out of sight.
Buzz!
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and tentatively extended a wisp of Soul Power.
This wisp of Soul Power probed towards the outside of the chasm.
Immediately, a peculiar sound arose.
...

PS: Many brothers have tagged themselves with 'Zhiwu':
Zhiwu is cool, Su Ran of the Zhiwu family, Great Zhiwu flows awesomely, Zhiwu is my male god, Zhiwu Zhiwu loves Zhiwu...
Can I say that these names made me laugh silly?
Hahahaha...
Suddenly, I feel so cool and awesome!
However... hmm, still just an ordinary author writing books.
But I still hope more brothers join the Zhiwu family...
Come up with a name that flatters me more, hehehehe...
