Chapter 640: Chapter 345: They Must Be Dao Companions

In the room, Tantai Xue wore a black Immortal Skirt.

As the sky gradually darkened and twilight swallowed the last sliver of light outside the window, she seemed to meld into the darkness. Only an occasional sigh echoed, sounding exceptionally clear in the empty room.

This transaction had dealt a blow to her spirit. It was completely different from what she had expected. She had anticipated some special item or a clash between experts. She never expected the source to be Jiang Man.

After taking a long time to calm herself, she finally raised her hand and activated the light of the Array. A soft glow spread from her fingertips, illuminating her residence. She narrowed her eyes, taking a moment to adjust.

"Senior, do you think there’s a high probability of this being true?" she asked.

"Low. It’s almost impossible," Tantai Xiaotian said. "Under normal circumstances, that expert from the Ji family shouldn’t have a Dao Companion. Even if she did, it shouldn’t be a Primordial Spirit."

Pausing for a moment, he added, "Furthermore, it shouldn’t be a Primordial Spirit from outside the Immortal Sect region. She is not allowed to leave."

After saying this, Tantai Xiaotian fell silent for a moment before continuing, "But this is all in theory."

"So there is a possibility?" Tantai Xue asked.

"The fact that Zui Fusheng did this means the possibility isn’t small, and quite a few people believe it. That’s why they took action against him," Tantai Xiaotian said helplessly. He seemed somewhat lamentful about the changing situation outside. This was a direction he had never considered.

A moment later, Tantai Xiaotian asked, "Even if this is true and the Evil God’s people killed Jiang Man, that would just be a grudge between the Ji family and the Evil God. It shouldn’t cause turmoil within the Immortal Sects."

Tantai Xue explained, "The letter said that someone is trying to frame the Bai family. Is the Bai family very special?"

Hearing this, Tantai Xiaotian fell silent.

"Senior?" Tantai Xue asked, puzzled.

Tantai Xiaotian sighed and said, "The Bai Family Ancestor has a grudge against the Ji family. Moreover, my current miserable state is all thanks to him. Leaving his strength aside, his ability to track people down is exceedingly rare since ancient times."

Tantai Xue was astonished, suddenly realizing just how complicated this matter was, and how massive the vortex had become.

"Can I still investigate further under these circumstances?" she asked.

Tantai Xiaotian smiled and said, "If it’s fake, then so be it. But if it’s true..."

He did not finish his sentence.

Tantai Xue shivered, a chill shooting up her spine from her tailbone. Would that mean facing the people on the so-called list directly? She didn’t have a deep understanding of what this list entailed, but after hearing that the one who reduced this senior to such a miserable state was also on it, she gained a rough idea.

This world had become unreasonable. How could any random person she encountered possess such a background? Even if none of this had been verified, anyone who dared to step into such a vortex was definitely far from simple.

"However, someone will definitely try to find a way to kill him. I wonder if he knows," Tantai Xiaotian said.

"I’ll remind him next time. As long as we don’t dig deeper into this matter, we shouldn’t get dragged in," Tantai Xue replied.

This world was different from what she had imagined. How did she inexplicably stumble into such a massive vortex? He was clearly just a Primordial Spirit, yet he had suddenly become someone she couldn’t afford to provoke.

Meanwhile, in the ruined temple, the flickering candlelight stretched Jiang Man’s shadow long across the floor.

He sat in front of the altar, examining the letter. The Ling Hua Immortal Spirit within the statue was also extremely curious, leaning halfway out to peek in his direction.

Jiang Man glanced back and said, "How about you deliver it to those big shots instead?"

The Ling Hua Immortal Spirit immediately shrank back, not daring to make a sound.

Only then did Jiang Man open the letter.

*The Array Evil God, titled Wuyou, is the Wuyou Evil God, a high-ranking member of the Ji family from over three hundred years ago.*

*She practices the Heartless Dao and excels in Arrays, fusing them with Evil God Power. Everything she does is to pave the way for her Immortal Dao.*

*She once obtained the Divine Object, the Celestial Heart. She also acquired the ancient land, the shattered Supreme Heart Hall, as well as the Supreme Heartless Skill.*

*This skill takes karmic affinity as its core. She possesses an affinity with the Supreme Skill, so there is indeed a possibility of her achieving Great Success.*

*Her main objective at present seems to be repairing the Supreme Heart Hall, completing the Supreme Skill, and assimilating the Celestial Heart.*

*She is currently in a period of recovery. Her exact strength is unknown, but after the battle at the Wuyun Sect, her condition has likely worsened.*

*She excels at using Arrays to hide. Her general hiding place should be the Tianyuan Mountain Range. However, after the great war over three hundred years ago, the mountain range shifted, making it impossible to pinpoint her exact location.*

*Furthermore, she was one of the core figures who triggered the great war over three hundred years ago. She is a prime assassination target for both the Dao Yi Immortal Sect and the Ji family.*

After reading this, Jiang Man felt surprised. They didn’t clearly state why she was a prime assassination target. As a core figure who triggered the great war, what exactly did she do to cause it?

Jiang Man felt that these people only ever told half the story, saving the rest to charge him again next time. Still, this basic information was enough.

After the letter vanished, Jiang Man looked toward the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit statue and asked, "Do you know about the great war from over three hundred years ago?"

"I do," the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit replied.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised. He immediately asked, "How much do you know? Can you tell me?"

"I can," the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit replied.

Jiang Man was astonished. Whether it was Ting Fengyin, Old Huang, or even the Bai Family Ancestor, none of them had told him the whole story. They all wanted him to wait until his Cultivation was higher before slowly learning about it. He had thought there was some hidden reason behind this. Were they just speaking in riddles?

"Then tell me, what happened over three hundred years ago?" Jiang Man turned to look at the statue.

The Ling Hua Immortal Spirit fell silent for a moment, as if organizing its memories. Then, it spoke.

"I remember it very clearly. That day, a ray of radiant light appeared—a kind of radiant light I couldn’t comprehend no matter how hard I tried. Then, the Immortal Court mobilized countless Immortal Spirits to surround it.

"I thought a fight was about to break out, but before it could, the light suddenly disappeared.

"And then, they started fighting."
