My Master Knows It All

1118: Chapter 287_4 1118: Chapter 287_4 He paused for a moment, then, upon realizing that everyone around was paying attention to him, he continued slowly, “In our group, a total of ten people entered the Sky-reaching Formation.

Although it’s true that the ten people who entered the Sky-reaching Formation cannot leave temporarily because of the Rainbow Bridge, the other ninety of us did not enter the formation, and we recognized all ten who did.

Apart from Xiang Ziyu, the identities of the other nine have been carefully investigated by everyone.

Among them, Xiang Ziyu is the most peculiar; no one has ever heard of his sect, the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Furthermore, there has been discussion that of the other nine people, aside from Huo Fanqi, it seems none had the strength to trigger the Rainbow Bridge.”

Someone nearby overheard and immediately shook their head, “Just because of this, you conclude that it was Xiang Ziyu who triggered the Rainbow Bridge?

That seems rather arbitrary.”

“Of course not for this reason alone.

You haven’t been to the Sky-reaching Formation, you wouldn’t know.

I also found out later that Xiang Ziyu even defeated Huo Fanqi during their competition.

He could be more talented than Huo Fanqi.

That’s why many people speculate that the one who triggered the Rainbow Bridge was Xiang Ziyu.”

“But there’s also a possibility that Huo Fanqi triggered the Rainbow Bridge.”

“Yeah, it can’t just be said to be Xiang Ziyu.”

The person who had attempted the challenge shook their head helplessly, “In any case, many people, even those from the Great Teachings, say it’s unlikely to be Huo Fanqi.”

Bei Yan, listening to the discussions of the crowd, quietly set up a soundproofing Divine Skill around them.

This type of Divine Skill didn’t require too much mana, so it wouldn’t directly attract the Wind Fire Heavenly Tribulation.

Once the people around could no longer hear him, he looked proudly at his senior and junior sisters and said, “How about that?

I told you, the one who triggered the Rainbow Bridge must be Third Senior Brother.

You’ve heard now too; he really went and even passed the first barrier.

Do you remember what I said before?

I said that the Rainbow Bridge wouldn’t end so simply and that Third Senior Brother would surely cause trouble.

Look, he really did—it’s still ongoing.

Knowing Third Senior Brother’s character, who knows how long the Rainbow Bridge will last.”

“Why are you so certain, the one who triggered the Rainbow Bridge is Third Senior Brother and not Master?” Ling Xi blurted out, then suddenly gasped, whispering, “Master is looking for me.”

With nothing else to do, Cao Zhen, who had been waiting behind, hadn’t contacted his disciple Ling Xi recently, so he used the China Cloud to get in touch with her.

He had just reminded a few people not to cause trouble recently when Ling Xi hurriedly asked, “Master, where are you now?

Are you in the Sky-reaching Formation?”

“Not at all, your master is not in the Sky-reaching Formation.

The one in the formation is your Third Junior Brother.

You should have heard about the Rainbow Bridge by now.

The one who triggered the Rainbow Bridge is Xiang Ziyu.

Moreover, I estimate that it will take a very long while before the little guy can leave the Rainbow Bridge since he, having nothing better to do, self-detonated a Golden Core.

Currently, he’s still recovering in the Sky-reaching Formation; I feel he might want to cultivate.

And his image, well, his Xu Ying hasn’t attacked him yet; it’s waiting for him to recover fully before attacking.

Your Third Junior Brother will surely use this time to cultivate, so who knows how long it will take for him to come out.”

“Really, it’s Third Junior Brother.” Ling Xi looked back at Little Bei Yan, realizing the one who knew Third Junior Brother best was Fourth Junior Brother; everything was just as he had said.

“Then Master, if you’re not in the Sky-reaching Formation, where are you now?

Or, did you come out from the earlier batch of Sky-reaching Formation?”

Cao Zhen chuckled, “Your master did not enter the Sky-reaching Formation, but currently, I am inside the Cloud Reaching Sect.”

Ling Xi grew curious, “Then Master, how did you enter the Cloud Reaching Sect?”

“Previously, someone was looking for a player of the zither for a performance during the festival.

Your master went, and then they had chosen your master, which naturally led to my entry into the Cloud Reaching Sect.”

“Ah?

Master, you’re going to perform too?

Master, when will you perform?”

“At the very end, as the grand finale.”

“Grand finale?” Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, then snapped to realization, exclaiming, “Isn’t the final performance by Immortal Bi Yue?

Master, you…”

“That’s right, it’s to accompany her,” Cao Zhen reminded.

“Master called to check on you all.

Seeing that you’re all fine has put my mind at ease.

For now, don’t worry about your master.

It’s you who should be taking this opportunity at the festival to gather information—about the Eastern Province, the major powers, especially those of the Demonic Path, and their views on the Eastern Wasteland and its connections to the Central Five Provinces.

Of course, you’ll need to inquire subtly.”

Upon her master’s reminder, Ling Xi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, “Master, today we saw a Great Teaching called Void Breaking Sect.

We don’t know if the Void Breaking Sect has any connection with the Void Breaking Sect.

Mainly because that person’s opponent was too weak, it didn’t bring out his true strength, and we couldn’t tell whether he used the Divine Skills of Void Breaking Sect.”
