Chapter 445 331: Misdirection

Hearing the name Li Qingxuan, the drunken middle-aged man instantly stopped shouting and turned to look at Han Yuan.

"Are you calling me?" The middle-aged man pointed at himself.

"Are you Elder Li Qingxuan?" Han Yuan asked again.

"No... I'm not him!"

"I'm not that failure, Li Qingxuan!"

"He couldn't save anyone."

The middle-aged man shook his head frantically.

Seeing him like this, Han Yuan fell silent.

He was reminded of another friend of his, Zhang Cang.

They were both men who had shouldered the burden of saving the world. When they failed, the pressure they put on themselves was enough to crush them.

It seemed Li Qingxuan had truly been crushed.

Seeing Han Yuan remain quiet, the middle-aged man fell silent as well.

They stood in silence for a long time.

The middle-aged man finally spoke. "Alright, spit it out... What do you want from me?"

Han Yuan said, "Elder Li, I've come to ask you about the Nautical Chart that leads to the Immortal Sect's island."

Li Qingxuan paused, then frowned. "Is the Immortal Sect Organization preparing to open that evil gate again?"

Han Yuan shook his head. "No... They don't know the Immortal Sect's location yet. They're looking for the Nautical Chart."

Hearing this, Li Qingxuan sneered. "Then you've all been fooled. Fooled by the Immortal Sect Organization... How could they possibly not know the location of the Immortal Sect's island!"

"With just a tiny piece of Source Seed Shredded Meat, they can sense the island's location."

Han Yuan looked stunned. "That's impossible... Then why is the Immortal Sect Organization going to such great lengths to find the Nautical Chart?"

Li Qingxuan took a deep breath. "They don't want to find the Nautical Chart. They want to destroy it."

"That way, you'll never be able to find the island."

Han Yuan's eyes glinted at this answer.

'Li Qingxuan has no reason to lie to me.'

'So the Immortal Sect Organization has always had a way to get to the island; they're just waiting for the right moment.'

'And their desire to destroy the Nautical Chart now means that moment might be here!'

Han Yuan immediately expressed his thanks. "Thank you for telling me, Elder!"

"Don't thank me... What's the use of thanking a failure..."

Li Qingxuan waved his hand dismissively.

Then, he raised his right index finger and tapped it lightly in Han Yuan's direction.

Instantly, the information of a Nautical Chart flooded Han Yuan's mind.

"The Nautical Chart is yours now."

"I hope you don't follow my old path... young man."

Li Qingxuan's expression turned serious.

"Don't worry, Elder." Han Yuan nodded, then asked, "Elder Li, do you have any idea what kind of being created the Bronze Immortal Sect?"

Li Qingxuan replied gravely, "I don't know the answer to that question."

"But I know where to find it!"

Han Yuan said reflexively, "Glazed Island?!"

Li Qingxuan gave Han Yuan a surprised look and smiled. "It seems you do know a few things."

Han Yuan replied, "I know Glazed Island is the origin of the Immortal Sect Organization."

"Beyond that, I don't know much else."

Li Qingxuan thought for a moment, then said softly, "Back then, I had two choices... Go to Glazed Island, or go to the island of the Immortal Sect... I chose the latter..."

"Just in case, my original self left a wisp of a Divine Fragment in this gourd... which is the me you see now."

"So I don't know what happened to my original self in there... and I'll never have the chance to set foot on Glazed Island."

"Young man, if you get the chance, you must go to Glazed Island."

Li Qingxuan said earnestly.

"Don't worry, Elder. I will."

Han Yuan said.

"Then I can rest easy..."

Li Qingxuan smiled at Han Yuan.

「The next moment.」

Han Yuan's mind swam, and he found himself back in the main hall of the Treasure Pavilion.

"Palace Master Han... Any luck?"

Seeing Han Yuan open his eyes, Liang Ze couldn't help but ask.

Han Yuan nodded. "I now know where the Immortal Sect's island and Glazed Island are."

"During my conversation with a Divine Fragment of Li Qingxuan just now, he suggested we pay a visit to Glazed Island."

"On top of that, there's bad news."

"Elder Li said that the Immortal Sect Organization has always been able to find the location of the Immortal Sect's island... Their goal this time was simply to destroy the Cyan Jade Gourd, which would have left us with no way of finding the island."

Ling Yunzi and Liang Ze were stunned to hear this.

They had never imagined this was the Immortal Sect Organization's true goal.

"In that case, Wooden Snake's last words were also meant to mislead us."

"He wanted us to investigate whether the Immortal Sect Organization had other ways of locating the Immortal Sect's island."

"But in reality, they already had a method and just wanted to waste our time."

Liang Ze sneered.

'That Wooden Snake really was a master of manipulation, laying a trap for them even in his final moments.'

"In any case, I've told you everything... I can only give you the Nautical Chart to Glazed Island. As for the one leading to the Bronze Immortal Sect, I can't give it to you yet."

"After all, I don't know if the Great Li Royal Family and the Celestial Net Department still have traitors in their midst."

"I'll contact the Profound Celestial Alliance, arrange a meeting with Li Baozhou, and give the Nautical Chart for the Bronze Immortal Sect to him."

Han Yuan said quietly.

'This was the best method he could think of.'

'Even if the Immortal Sect Organization had a way to locate the island, it was still best not to let a chart like this get leaked.'

Ling Yunzi and Liang Ze didn't object when they heard the name Li Baozhou.

After all, his name was indeed one they could trust.

And with Han Yuan's strength, the Nautical Chart would be safe with him for the time being.
