Upon arriving in the Moon Gazing Region, Tang Yin did not imdiately rush to the Moonlit River Sect.
First and foremost, Tang Yin felt the need for information. He wanted to uncover the Twin Snake Clan’s course of action regarding the Moonlit River Sect following Qian Zhong’s demise, as well as the fate and whereabouts of Qian Zhong’s family.
Even among lower-level cultivators, news of Qian Zhong’s death had undoubtedly spread. The demise of a Law Domain Realm cultivator was a montous event, considering the scarcity of such formidable beings. Naturally, the passing of one of their ranks would have generated significant attention throughout the cultivation world.
However, such information wouldn’t be readily accessible. Despite the widespread awareness of Qian Zhong’s demise across the Bright Yang Continent, it didn’t necessarily imply that all details surrounding his death had been disclosed.
The Twin Snake Clan would likely ensure that classified information remained tightly guarded, only known by powerful mbers of the Rank 8 Organization.
Tang Yin wasn’t overly concerned about the intricate details of Qian Zhong’s demise. He intended to enter an extended period of seclusion once he concluded his tasks involving Qian Zhong’s family and a few other matters that had been occupying his thoughts.
After careful consideration, Tang Yin concluded that the most effective approach to acquire the desired information was to engage in conversation with a Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator associated with the Twin Snake Clan.
Of course, he wouldn’t simply approach and inquire. Tang Yin understood the importance of proper preparation, considering how to establish his identity and devise a strategy to extract the information he needed from the Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator.
Tang Yin donned a luxurious, golden robe that concealed his entire body, adopting the appearance of an unremarkable middle-aged man. With his face altered to appear ordinary and unnoticeable, he appeared as a normal, high-level cultivator. He carefully suppressed his aura, rendering it virtually undetectable.
Using his imnse divine sense, it didn’t take Tang Yin much ti to locate a Rank 6 Organization.
The formidable Rank 6 Organization erged as a modest yet prominent sect, its presence dominating a sprawling expanse of rugged mountain terrain. Towers of intricate design and courtyards of exquisite beauty punctuated the terrain, offering a glimpse into the sect’s dedication to both spiritual cultivation and aesthetic refinent.
The skies above were adorned with the graceful figures of flying cultivators, their movents executed with a captivating elegance that further underscored the sect’s prestige.
Tang Yin quickly approached the mountain range and directed his formidable Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm divine sense into the Sect Protection Formation of the Rank 6 Sect.
"S-Senior, what brings you to our humble sect?" The poor fellow responsible for the Sect Protection Formation was nearly paralyzed with fear as Tang Yin’s powerful divine sense exerted overwhelming pressure on him.
He had only experienced such an imnse divine sense from the Sect Master before! Could it be that the person outside the Sect Protection Formation was of equal stature to the Sect Master?!
"I wish to et with the Sect Master. Can you arrange that?" Tang Yin’s voice was composed and balanced, showing neither arrogance nor servility.
"Of course! I will go right now. Senior, please wait right there for a mont." The disciple relinquished control of the Sect Protection Formation to his colleagues and hurried off to inform the Sect Master.
Tang Yin didn’t have to wait for too long. Two minutes later, the sa disciple returned, accompanied by a handso middle-aged man.
The handso middle-aged man didn’t imdiately welco Tang Yin into the sect. Instead, he extended his vast divine sense outside the Sect Protection Formation.
"Greetings, Fellow Cultivator. I am Hang Chenhao, the Sect Master of the Fleeting Moon Sect. We are affiliated with the Moonlit River Sect and the Twin Snake Clan." Hang Chenhao clasped his hands together in a respectful greeting from a distance.
His words carried an underlying hint of threat. By revealing his na, sect, affiliation with a Rank 8 Organization, and backer, Hang Chenhao was sending a clear ssage to Tang Yin, a warning against any hostile intentions or actions.
"Greetings Sect Master Hang. I am Chen Xuan, a cultivator from a distant Region. I have co here to have a discussion with you." Tang Yin responded courteously, offering a fist salute and providing a fabricated identity and background.
"You’re from a distant Region? In that case, Fellow Cultivator Chen must be here for so information, right?" Hang Chenhao surmised. The arrival of a cultivator of comparable strength from another Region often indicated a quest for knowledge about the local territories and any recent events that had taken place.
"That is correct. I am unfamiliar with the local and neighbouring Regions, I hope Fellow Cultivator Hang could enlighten . Of course, for wasting Fellow Cultivator’s ti, I will make it worth the while. How about it?" Tang Yin enticed. There was no free lunch in the world, this was a common unspoken rule in any part of the world.
After thinking for a mont, Hang Chenhao decided to agree. He would only be disclosing information that was already available and circulating among Principle Step cultivators. As long as this Chen Xuan dug deep enough, he would eventually find it. So why not just give out this information in exchange for so benefits?
"Very well," Hang Chenhao nodded in agreent. "I can share so general information about the neighbouring Regions and recent developnts among the Principle Step cultivators. In return, I would appreciate your generosity for the ti and knowledge shared."
Tang Yin smiled, appreciating Hang Chenhao’s willingness to cooperate. "Of course, Fellow Cultivator Hang. I believe in fair exchange. Your ti and knowledge won’t go unrewarded."
Tang Yin and Hang Chenhao communicated using their divine senses, making their conversation private and beyond the understanding of the onlookers. The disciples around them couldn’t grasp the details of what had been discussed between these two powerful cultivators.
Hang Chenhao withdrew his divine sense and instructed the Sect Protection Formation to create a small opening, allowing Tang Yin to enter.
As Tang Yin entered the Fleeting Moon Sect in a relaxed manner, Hang Chenhao motioned for him to co along. "Please follow , Fellow Cultivator Chen."
Hang Chenhao possessed Mid-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivation, and interestingly, Tang Yin’s divine sense was also at the sa level. In essence, his divine sense matched Hang Chenhao’s in strength.
Hence, even though Tang Yin had hidden his true cultivation level, his strength was inferred from the potency of his divine sense. As a result, Hang Chenhao concluded that Tang Yin was at the Mid-stage of the Principle Manipulation Realm, just like himself.
Both Tang Yin and Hang Chenhao, being at the Mid-stage of the Principle Manipulation Realm, moved with remarkable speed. In the blink of an eye, they reached the Sect Master’s Palace.
Hang Chenhao guided Tang Yin into a lavish room adorned with opulent decorations and top-tier furnishings. They both took their seats on opposite sides of a table with elegant grace.
Hang Chenhao gestured with his hand, summoning two cups and a teapot onto the table from his storage ring. "Fellow Cultivator Chen, this is my Exotic Jade Moon Wine. I invite you to taste it."
Tang Yin smiled and poured himself a cup of the Exotic Jade Moon Wine from the teapot. After a few sips, he felt his Abyss Qi circulating throughout his body a bit more rapidly than usual. "This is good stuff." He remarked.
Hang Chenhao took pride in his Exotic Jade Moon Wine. Every guest he had offered it to thus far had always praised it highly.
"I’m sure you’ve heard the recent news about Senior Qian Zhong’s passing. Even soone of his stature has appreciated my Exotic Jade Moon Wine." Hang Chenhao ntioned with a hint of pride. The brewing of his Exotic Jade Moon Wine required rare and valuable resources, and he wouldn’t offer it to just any cat or dog he t.
"Really?" Tang Yin exclaid in surprise, his eyes glinting with an opportunistic light. "Is it absolutely certain that Senior Qian Zhong has indeed passed away? It’s possible that this news could be a fabricated rumour, strategically designed by his enemies to exploit a vulnerability within the Moonlit River Sect." He voiced his doubts.
"No, that’s not possible," Hang Chenhao countered confidently. "The news of Senior Qian Zhong’s demise was officially confird by the Twin Snake Clan themselves. A power of their magnitude wouldn’t concern itself with the internal squabbles or conflicts among their subordinates." Hang Chenhao waved his hand nonchalantly, dispelling Tang Yin’s ’doubt’.
"Is that so..." A deep invisible light churned deep within Tang Yin’s eyes as he muttered those words.
"Indeed," Hang Chenhao nodded, seemingly satisfied with the conversation’s direction. He took another sip of his wine and leaned back in his chair. "The Twin Snake Clan shared that Senior Qian Zhong had unluckily run into a wandering High-tier Rank 8 Demonic Beast and was slaughtered on the spot. It truly is unfortunate." Hang Chenhao let out a heartfelt sigh, expressing his sympathy for Qian Zhong’s unfortunate fate.
