That passage contained a great deal of information, and Chen Xiao managed to catch some of it.

So, he asked, "What specific conflicts led to the disintegration of the Three Sects? I don't know if it's convenient for you to reveal that?"

The Zī Wēi Dao Lord smiled knowingly, as if saying, 'I knew you'd ask me that.'

"There are some things I don't know if you've heard of."

"What is Dao Lord referring to?"

Chen Xiao asked. He had heard a lot of things, and he didn't know which one Zī Wēi was referring to.

"Five hundred years ago, during the great tribulation, the human race cultivators adopted a policy of non-resistance, even joining the Celestials and turning against the clans of the Nine Provinces in order to curry favor with the Celestials. I don't know if you've heard of this?"

Zī Wēi Dao Lord asked.

Chen Xiao didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "I've heard of it. I don't know if it's true or false?"

Tushan Che had told him about this, but given Tushan Che's identity, Chen Xiao wasn't sure if the other party had embellished the incident.

Zī Wēi Dao Lord seemed to see through Chen Xiao, nodding slightly and saying, "If viewed from the perspective of a demon cultivator, that is indeed the case."

"It's just... alas, never mind. The debate about this has never stopped in the past five hundred years, and I can't explain it to you in a few words."

Zī Wēi Dao Lord suddenly sighed, "You just need to know one thing: the Immortal Sect is not a monolith. Our Earth Sect opposes this kind of compromising approach."

'Compromising approach' was the most peaceful term Zī Wēi Dao Lord could think of. In reality, what he wanted to say was eking out a living!

"So, when I said to you just now that I took a liking to you, I wasn't joking, because in my opinion, you are the one who can break the deadlock!"

As he spoke, Zī Wēi Dao Lord stared intently at Chen Xiao, as if waiting for Chen Xiao's reaction.

Chen Xiao nodded, "Yes, I understand Dao Lord's meaning. I came to the Immortal Hidden Realm this time for the God-Slaying Sword. When I get the God-Slaying Sword and collect the five Holy Relics, perhaps the answers to some unknown problems will be revealed."

Zī Wēi Dao Lord nodded, "So, during this Heavenly Pride Battle, I will do my best to help you get the God-Slaying Sword, but you must be extra careful, because the Heaven Sect and the Human Sect won't be as friendly to you as my Earth Sect."

Chen Xiao nodded, "I understand."

"For thousands of years, you have been the greatest hope of the Nine Provinces, and the last hope of the Nine Provinces. The burden on your shoulders is heavy."

Zī Wēi Dao Lord said calmly, although his face was serious, he was still alluring.

Chen Xiao turned his head to one side, deliberately not looking at this tempting juicy peach.

The two fell into silence, and the atmosphere was a little dull.

Chen Xiao suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Zī Wēi Dao Lord, who exactly is the White-Clad Sorcerer Group?"

"If you don't mind, you can just call me Zī Wēi from now on."

Zī Wēi Dao Lord smiled sweetly, then shook her head, "The White-Clad Sorcerer Group? I've never heard of them."

Zī Wēi Dao Lord's second half of the sentence shocked Chen Xiao even more than the first half.

So much so that Chen Xiao, for a moment, couldn't even bother to think about Zī Wēi Dao Lord's ambiguous attitude towards him.

"What? You've never heard of the White-Clad Sorcerer Group? In the Heavenly Pride Battle fifty years ago, it was the White-Clad Sorcerer Group that obtained the recognition of the Three Books, opened the Holy Treasure Platform, and obtained the Yin-Yang Jade!"

Chen Xiao's expression was exaggerated and extremely puzzled, "Zī Wēi, don't you remember this?"

Zī Wēi Dao Lord's face showed a look of bitter contemplation, muttering, "The White-Clad Sorcerer Group, opening the Holy Treasure Platform, obtaining the Yin-Yang Jade..."

"I remember opening the Holy Treasure Platform and obtaining the Yin-Yang Jade, but I have no impression of the White-Clad Sorcerer Group at all. I've never heard of them."

Zī Wēi Dao Lord said with a frown.

"Then, in your impression, who obtained the Yin-Yang Jade?"

Chen Xiao pressed.

Zī Wēi Dao Lord smiled bitterly and said, "There's a problem, there's a problem with my memory. When I think of this question, my mind is just a fog, and I can't remember at all."

Chen Xiao was shocked and stunned. Seeing the people lying on the ground, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that the Earth Sect Dao Lord had her memory erased?

Hmm?

Then, how strong would that person have to be? Even the Earth Sect Dao Lord fell for his trick.

No, he must have used special means!

If he really had such powerful absolute strength, he would definitely not be hiding in a gutter.

The White-Clad Sorcerer Group, Chen Sihai... what kind of secrets are hidden in this person?

Chen Xiao was very sure that the White-Clad Sorcerer Group and Chen Sihai were real, after all, he had seen them with his own eyes.

The Earth Sect Dao Lord also thought of this possibility. She was slightly moved and said, "Could it be that my memory has been erased?"

Chen Xiao nodded, "That's very likely."

Speaking of this, he suddenly asked suspiciously, "By the way, this was told to me by Zhang Longhu of the True Martial Sect. Why was your memory about the White-Clad Sorcerer Group erased, but his wasn't?"

"Zhang Longhu actually remembers this... It's easy to know the answer to this question. Just ask him directly!"

Zī Wēi Dao Lord said bluntly.

"Yes, that's what I intend to do!"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao took out the Judge's Pen.

He wrote quickly on the ground, "Zī Wēi and I are in the True Martial Sect!"

However, there was no shimmering light, and the two were not teleported to the True Martial Sect.

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned. This Judge's Pen can be used in the Underworld, it can also be used in the secular world, but it can't be used in the Immortal Hidden Realm?

Zī Wēi smiled slightly and said, "Silly boy, teleportation treasures like the Judge's Pen don't work in the Immortal Hidden Realm. The Immortal Hidden Realm has its own rules!"

As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed Chen Xiao's hand and said, "I'll take you there."

Holding her soft hand, Chen Xiao's mind swayed. What soft little hands, smooth and delicate, making people not want to let go.

Then, Chen Xiao only felt a flash of light in front of him. After the scenery changed, the two were already in the main hall of the True Martial Sect.

"Who's there? How dare you break into my True Martial Sect? Don't you want to live anymore... Zī, Zī Wēi Dao Lord? Why is it you?"

A middle-aged Daoist priest shouted at Chen Xiao and Zī Wēi, his eyes full of shock when he recognized Zī Wēi Dao Lord.

Especially when he saw Zī Wēi Dao Lord's hand being held by a strange man, his eyes even burned with raging fire.

It was the fire of jealousy, the fire of gossip.

Zī Wēi Dao Lord put on a straight face and quietly pulled her hand out of Chen Xiao's.

When there were outsiders present, she was still very dignified and solemn, although still alluring, still exuding the fragrance of a ripe peach.

"Where's Zhang Longhu? Quickly call him out and have him come to see me!"

To distract the other party from the 'hand-holding' incident, Chen Xiao shouted.

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged Daoist priest asked.

"Don't you remember me? Can't you recognize my appearance, can't you even recognize my voice?"

This middle-aged Daoist priest was precisely Zhang Longhu's junior brother, the master of Holy Son Li Beiwu.

However, the middle-aged Daoist priest looked blank after hearing Chen Xiao's words, shaking his head and saying, "I've never seen you, and I've never heard your voice."

Chen Xiao paused, then said, "A few days ago, someone took away 500,000 spirit stones from your True Martial Sect, you should remember that, right?"

When the middle-aged Daoist priest heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and shouted, "So, you're the one who emptied our True Martial Sect's warehouse!"

He was furious, and judging by his appearance, if Zī Wēi Dao Lord wasn't present, he would have attacked Chen Xiao!

"Zī Wēi Dao Lord, you, how could you be with such a villain!"

The middle-aged Daoist priest sighed with a puzzled look on his face.

Zī Wēi Dao Lord frowned and glanced at Chen Xiao, "Stealing spirit stones?"

Chen Xiao spread his hands, "I didn't steal them, Zhang Longhu gave them to me personally."

Chen Xiao didn't steal them... he painstakingly scammed them, how could that be called stealing?

"Our sect leader gave them to you personally? Then tell me, when did our sect leader give them to you?"

The middle-aged Daoist priest asked.

"It was the day before yesterday!"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "At that time, the elders of your True Martial Sect were all there, they can testify!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

When the middle-aged Daoist priest heard Chen Xiao's words, he immediately became angry, "Boy, don't talk nonsense, our sect leader disappeared a decade ago, how could he have given you 500,000 spirit stones the day before yesterday? Purely nonsense!"

Seeing the middle-aged Daoist priest's determined look, Chen Xiao was slightly stunned, and he suddenly thought of something.

Zī Wēi Dao Lord said, "If that's the case, then I'll trouble Junior Brother Lin to invite all the elders out."

"As you command, Zī Wēi Dao Lord!"

Hearing Zī Wēi Dao Lord address him as Junior Brother Lin, the middle-aged Daoist priest surnamed Lin was immediately filled with honor. He obviously didn't expect that the dignified Earth Sect Dao Lord would actually remember his surname.

Immediately afterwards, several elders of the True Martial Sect were invited out. Like the middle-aged Daoist priest surnamed Lin, they all had no impression of Chen Xiao, and they also said that the sect leader, Zhang Longhu, had been missing for about ten days.

Chen Xiao and Zī Wēi Dao Lord all looked at each other, and they both thought of the same possibility.

"Do you have any other clues?"

Zī Wēi Dao Lord asked.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Longhu said at the time that Jiao Lian of the Heavenly Lotus Sect told him my identity."

"Let's go, let's find Jiao Lian!"

Zī Wēi Dao Lord didn't even think about it, she grabbed Chen Xiao's hand, and with a thought, she turned into a ray of light and disappeared in place.

Leaving only a group of True Martial Sect elders, looking at each other in place...

The next moment, Chen Xiao and Zī Wēi Dao Lord appeared in the Heavenly Lotus Sect.

Qinglian Dao Lord was naturally shocked to see Chen Xiao, and she was even more shocked when she saw Zī Wēi Dao Lord next to Chen Xiao.

Finally, noticing that the two were holding hands, she was so shocked that she almost screamed.

"Heavenly Lotus Sect disciple Qinglian, pays respect to Zī Wēi Dao Lord!"

After regaining her senses, Qinglian said very respectfully. Although she was also a Dao Lord and Zī Wēi was also a Dao Lord, she could only regard herself as a disciple in front of Zī Wēi.

Without waiting for Zī Wēi Dao Lord to reply, Chen Xiao waved his hand and said, "Qinglian Dao Lord, go and call Jiao Lian over here for me!"
