My Master Knows It All

1121: Chapter 288 1121: Chapter 288 Elder Blue, acting on the orders of the Sect Hierarch, investigated the two individuals temporarily added to the Five Sounds Sect’s musical accompaniment team and found that both seemed to be problematic, especially Cao Zhen from the Hundred Peaks Sect; she was completely baffled by him.

“Sect Hierarch, among the ten people who entered our Cloud Reaching Sect’s Sky-reaching Formation, there’s one named Xiang Ziyu,” she reported, “who also claims to be from the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Furthermore, I’ve looked into it; among the ten, the talents of eight can only be described as mediocre—they couldn’t possibly be the ones to activate the Rainbow Bridge.

The remaining two, one of them is Huo Fanqi from the Sacred Flower Sect.”

“Huo Fanqi?” The Cloud Reaching Sect Hierarch lightly raised an eyebrow and mused, “The name sounds familiar, as if I’ve heard it somewhere…

Sacred Flower Sect, Huo Fanshu?”

“That’s right, Huo Fanqi is one of the Three Flowers Immortals of the Sacred Flower Sect, the brother of Immortal Zi Hua.

However, I’ve also looked into Huo Fanqi.

Although his talent is indeed good, there is still a gap before one could say he could trigger the Rainbow Bridge.

So, the person who should trigger the Rainbow Bridge is supposed to be that individual who claims to come from the Hundred Peaks Sect, Xiang Ziyu.”

“The Hundred Peaks Sect again?” The Cloud Reaching Sect Hierarch was also somewhat confused.

If these people from the Hundred Peaks Sect really wanted to cause trouble in their Cloud Reaching Sect, they should be keeping a low profile.

But now, not one of them was inconspicuous.

“Anyway, continue to monitor them,” the Cloud Reaching Sect Hierarch instructed, paused slightly, and then added, “And as for the Five Sounds Sect, they’re nearing their Sect Tribulation.

When the time comes…

never mind, we will discuss this matter after the grand assembly concludes.”

The Cloud Reaching Sect Hierarch gave a few more instructions and then returned to the grand assembly.

After all, it was their Cloud Reaching Sect’s grand event, and it would be inappropriate for him to be absent for too long.

Cao Zhen had been waiting in the back all this time.

After about four hours, Wu Se reminded him, “Alright, Master Cao, it’s our turn to perform.”

He then followed the others toward the front.

At this moment, on the great platform above, the voices of the attendees of the grand assembly had quieted down considerably.

“This is it, the grand finale.”

“Immortal Bi Yue is finally about to perform.”

“Keep your voice down and listen…”

“Listen to what?

Our main focus is to watch.

The music is just the icing on the cake…”

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, a few voices carried over.

Suddenly, in the void, the graceful figure of Immortal Bi Yue appeared.

Zhu Peng couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing this soaring figure, “She’s truly beautiful.”

Ling Xi and the others also looked toward Immortal Bi Yue.

They had seen Immortal Bi Yue’s Enlightenment projection before, but seeing the actual Immortal Bi Yue now, they still felt a sense of awe.

Even as women, they gazed at Immortal Bi Yue for a long while before they finally remembered Cao Zhen and began to search for him in the crowd.

Despite the distance and the multitude of musicians, they easily spotted Cao Zhen, who was at the center of the group of accompanying musicians.

Cao Zhen wasn’t playing with all his might; he was simply accompanying with everyone else, and hardly anyone paid special attention to him—nearly all the focus was on Immortal Bi Yue.

For a moment, who knows how many were enchanted by the sight.

After a long while, only when Immortal Bi Yue’s dance had ended did the crowd come back to their senses, exclaiming in wonder.

“I can’t believe it; I never thought a dance could be so exquisite!”

“This isn’t a dance humans could possess!”

“Such beauty, and the dance even more so!”

“To have witnessed Immortal Bi Yue’s dance is truly a journey not wasted.”

Immortal Bi Yue’s dance was the final highlight, but only after the dance did the grand assembly truly begin.

Cao Zhen didn’t need to do anything more, but several members of the Five Sounds Sect had departed to the edges of the assembly to continue their performances.

Many in the crowd continued their conversations while looking toward the members of the Five Sounds Sect.

“Truly worthy of the Cloud Reaching Sect, their grand assembly managed to invite members of the Five Sounds Sect to play continuously!”

“While it’s common for sects specializing in Musical Rhythm to be invited to perform at various grand assemblies, being able to invite the Five Sounds Sect is no small feat.”

“Yes, after all, the Five Sounds Sect is a Great Teaching, and it’s normal for them to perform a few pieces at the assembly, but to play continuously…

that task is often left to those rhythm-centric sects.”

“It just shows the Cloud Reaching Sect’s influence.”

“It’s not just about the Cloud Reaching Sect’s influence,” someone in the crowd spoke softly, “The Five Sounds Sect’s Heavenly Tribulation is approaching, and now they must be eager to be on good terms with the major sects.

They’re putting in so much effort at this assembly because they are likely to invite the Cloud Reaching Sect to help when the time comes.”

“Speaking of which, the Five Sounds Sect is quite unlucky to face their Sect Tribulation during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth.”

“Yes, at that time, it’s likely that the members of the Demonic Path will also take action.

Even if the Five Sounds Sect successfully goes through its Tribulation, it’s not necessarily safe.”

“That’s why the Five Sounds Sect must be preparing.

Besides inviting top experts to help with the Tribulation, they would certainly invite members from the major sects to help deter the Demonic Path outside their sect.”

Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, and others listened to the conversations around them and quickly grasped the situation in the Eastern Province.
