Chapter 26 for details
When he heard the news, Lu Zhao didn't take it to heart, but he quickly realized something was wrong and felt that this matter was related to him.
So he patiently listened to their conversation.
"Let them fight. It's just a matter between the major holy lands anyway, and it won't affect you or me. So what's there to be afraid of?"
"What could be the reason? We can't just start fighting for no reason."
"I don't know the specifics, but I've heard some people say it's because of a small grotto-heaven, which seems to be related to the death of a Yin-Yang Sect disciple."
Lu Zhao was sitting not far away at that moment, and he heard every word of these words.
"It's that Yin-Yang Sect again. You guys are really persistent. It seems I'll have to go back to the Southern Region soon." Lu Zhao clenched his fist.
There are so many cultivators coming and going in the Holy City that news spreads incredibly fast.
At this moment, in the sacred land of Yaochi, the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi flickered slightly.
"Lu Zhao, there are rumors that you are a transformation of the Holy Body, but I know very well that you have nothing to do with the Holy Body. You are just a mortal, yet you possess such strength."
She naturally knew what kind of potential such a mortal body represented.
The young emperor is nothing special. In fact, even within the Four Extremes Realm, the young emperor is far less powerful than this, far surpassing ordinary people.
The Purple Mansion Saintess also had a solemn expression, feeling a tremendous pressure. As for the rumors that Lu Zhao was Ye Fan in disguise, she did not believe it. She had been in contact with Ye Fan and did not have the same feeling as Lu Zhao.
Even someone with a naturally formed Dao embryo doesn't possess such terrifying combat power.
The opponent is just a mortal, yet he is so powerful.
Meanwhile, some old monsters in various holy lands were alarmed: "Find out his identity. If he doesn't belong to a sect, invite him into the sect immediately and directly appoint him as a holy son."
"If the other party is unwilling to join, then try to befriend them as much as possible; if they are already enemies, then resolve the issue as soon as possible."
All the major holy sites followed suit, launching investigations into Lu Zhao.
At this moment, Lu Zhao had already returned to the Southern Region via the inter-domain teleportation array and arrived outside Qingyang Cave Heaven.
He didn't rush in immediately, but instead used his divine sense to investigate.
Qingyang Cave Heaven did not suffer major damage, but several elders were seriously injured and are still in seclusion to heal.
Elder Li Gui, who had especially guided Lu Zhao, suffered numerous broken bones throughout his body, including one arm that had been broken.
If Elder Yaoguang hadn't arrived, the elder who had guided him would surely have died.
Lu Zhao stepped into Qingyang Cave Heaven, immediately attracting the attention of some disciples.
Even some elders noticed that Lu Zhao had returned to Qingyang Cave Heaven.
"Senior brother, you're back?" A fifteen-year-old boy asked, his eyes shining.
Seeing Lu Zhao walk back from outside, he excitedly rushed over.
Even some of the elders rushed out from their secluded retreat.
These days they've been worried that the Yin-Yang Sect might investigate Lu Zhao, which would then implicate him and cause real trouble.
So for a while, they remained silent when questioned.
This led to the Holy Maiden of the Yin-Yang Sect suddenly taking action and severely injuring several elders.
If the sect leader hadn't been prepared in advance, contacting the Yao Guang Holy Land early on and leaving behind some methods to notify them in advance...
Otherwise, the entire Qingyang Cave Heaven would surely be destroyed on that day.
"I'm going to see the elders." Lu Zhao walked towards a large hall.
At this moment, the young disciples followed behind him.
Normally, these young disciples wouldn't have the opportunity to enter.
Because those people were seriously injured, they were afraid that these young disciples would go in and disturb them.
Lu Zhao entered the main hall and found the Qingyang Sect Leader sitting inside. At that moment, the sect leader was using the spiritual herbs that Lu Zhao had given him to brew healing medicine for several elders.
Sensing someone enter the main hall, Sect Leader Qingyang immediately looked up.
"Lu Zhao, when did you arrive?" The Qingyang Sect Leader's expression changed.
He walked up to Lu Zhao and carefully examined him. Finding that Lu Zhao was not in any abnormality, he was completely relieved.
"I just arrived. I heard that the Yin-Yang Sect had insulted our sect, so I came here as soon as possible." Lu Zhao did not hide anything.
"The elders have all pulled through, so you don't need to worry about them now." Sect Leader Qingyang patted Lu Zhao on the shoulder.
And at that moment, several elders also woke up.
They heard Lu Zhao's voice and thus struggled to open their eyes.
"Lu Zhao, cough, we're all fine, don't worry about us. We're a bunch of old bones, it's no loss if we die." Li Gui struggled to get up with one arm, but as he did so, he coughed up a mouthful of scarlet blood.
"Senior, please don't get up. Just lie down and rest." Lu Zhao quickly stepped forward and helped Li Gui lie down again.
At the same time, he quickly probed out with his divine sense and found that Li Gui was indeed seriously injured.
External injuries were secondary; what was truly fatal was his internal injury, with bleeding in multiple internal organs, which would forever prevent him from ever entering the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
In the past, some people had their lifespan extended by using the Yuan Fruit, and they also had a certain chance of entering the Dao Palace.
However, after this injury, that opportunity was completely lost.
"These people really deserve to die. Which members of the Yin-Yang Sect injured you?" Lu Zhao looked at Li Gui and the Qingyang Sect Leader.
"Forget it, the elders of Yaoguang have already intervened, so you don't need to pursue the matter further," said the Qingyang Sect Leader, shaking his head.
"Don't make an enemy of a great sect. Let this matter pass, and don't dwell on it too much," Li Gui advised.
After all, it was the supreme sect of Zhongzhou, and its foundation was too astonishing.
Putting aside other circumstances, any elder of the Yin-Yang Sect could easily crush Lu Zhao; talking about revenge would be tantamount to suicide.
"Seniors, please don't worry. We are just a small grotto-heaven. How could we possibly have the power to attack the Yin-Yang Sect? It was the Holy Son of Yao Guang who made the move," Lu Zhao quickly explained.
Hearing Lu Zhao say this, all the elders relaxed.
After the Qingyang Sect Leader's explanation, Lu Zhao finally understood the cause and effect.
About ten days ago, the Holy Maiden of the Yin-Yang Sect found this place.
Because the last place where the disciples of the Yin-Yang Sect disappeared was here.
So after exploring, she focused on the Qingyang Cave Heaven area because traces of the battle still remained outside Qingyang Cave Heaven.
Some of the battle marks were so horrific that erasing them completely wouldn't be so easy.
They surrounded Qingyang Cave and searched for the whereabouts of the Yin-Yang Sect disciples.
Faced with those traces outside Qingyang Cave Heaven, the people of Qingyang Cave Heaven had no way to refute them.
Despite being questioned by those people, the elders refused to utter a single word.
Ultimately, they angered the Yin-Yang Saintess, leading her to take action herself.
Several elders were injured and nearly died at the hands of the Yin-Yang Saintess.
At the critical moment, Elder Yaoguang arrived, but the Holy Maiden of the Yin-Yang Sect was followed by several elders who were no weaker than Elder Yaoguang.
Both sides had reservations, and this one-sided massacre did not begin.
However, the Yin-Yang Sect took a firm stance, demanding an explanation from Qingyang Cave Heaven, otherwise this matter would affect the relationship between the two major forces.
