Night quietly fell. Lu Chen looked at the sky outside and saw that it was almost time for Feng Xing to meet him. He then quietly flew out of the Devil Sect.

The Devil Sect's Lu Chen directly teleported to the top of Star-Moon Mountain that Feng Xing had indicated.

"You came on time." As soon as Lu Chen arrived at the top of Star-Moon Peak, he heard an unfamiliar voice coming from the darkness.

"Senior has requested to meet with me. How could junior dare to come late? However, can senior possibly meet with me in person?" Lu Chen said indifferently. However, he was also secretly on guard against any sudden attacks from the Feng Xing Assembly.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Feng Xing seemed to hesitate a little, but there was no movement. Lu Chen had originally planned to walk up directly, but when he heard the sound of footsteps, he saw a person walking out from the forest in the east.

Lu Chen looked warily at the person walking towards him and made his preparations to take out his own life treasure at any time.

When Feng Xing walked out of the forest, he saw Lu Chen looking at him blandly. However, he could still feel the hostility coming from Lu Chen and helplessly said, "There's no need for you to be so hostile towards me, right?"

"Senior, you are overthinking it. Junior is merely being cautious." Lu Chen said indifferently.

However, it was very easy for Feng Xing to understand the hidden meaning behind Lu Chen's words: "I don't know you, and I'm not familiar with you either, so how could there be no enmity between us?"

Feng Xing knew that under the same circumstances, he would be full of hostility, so he no longer tried to keep up the suspense. "Actually, my surname is Ling."

"Surnamed Ling?" Lu Chen was stunned. He didn't understand what Feng Xing's words meant. What did they have to do with calling him out so late?

Seeing the puzzled look on Lu Chen's face, Feng Xing sighed and said, "Don't you know that the Cloudsoaring sect's Sect Leaders are all surnamed Ling?"

"Could it be that you want to say that you are a member of the Cloudsoaring sect, or are you related to the Cloudsoaring sect's Sect Master? Even if your surname is Ling, there are no small number of people in the Sky Dragon Continent with the surname Ling … Could it be that everyone is related to the Cloudsoaring sect? " Lu Chen said indifferently, but the expression on his face clearly showed that he didn't believe what Feng Xing said.

"I know it's difficult to make you believe my words, so why did you come here today?" Feng Xing said with some distress.

It's because Senior's words' is a guest but not a relative ', half a month, three stars. I think that Senior already recognized that I am not the real Heaven Punisher Cliff, which is why he said that I am a guest and not a relative, indicating that I am not a person of the Devil Sect itself. That 'Moon Half Three Stars Heaven' line told me to meet you at the summit of the Moon and Stars Mountain at midnight because the Moon Star Mountain has a special name for it. However, I find it strange that since you had seen through my disguise back then, why didn't you expose me? "Lu Chen asked.

Feng Xing didn't answer Lu Chen's question. Instead, he looked up at the sky and said, "Since you're a member of the Cloudsoaring sect, then do you know about what happened in the Cloudsoaring sect ten thousand years ago?"

"I only know that the Lingyun Sect was the largest cultivation sect on the Sky Dragon Continent ten thousand years ago. Back then, when the Lingyun Order appeared, it was said that the Lingyun School was at its peak, however, it seemed that Yun Tian had taken advantage of the time when Sect Master Ling Ba was in seclusion to bribe a disciple of his to inflict heavy injuries on Ling Ba, and incite the other subsidiary sects to retaliate."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Feng Xing sneered, "Do you also think that what happened at that time was done by Yun Tian?"

Lu Chen didn't know why Feng Xing asked such a question, but he still replied, "Junior doesn't think it was done by Yun Tian."

Although Lu Chen wanted to ask Yun Tian why he had done that, after meeting him for a while, Lu Chen understood that Yun Tian was not someone who could do such a despicable thing. Furthermore, to Lu Chen, even if he pursued the matter of 10,000 years ago, it would be meaningless to let it go.

"Oh? Why do you believe that Yun Tian didn't do it? After all, many of the higher ups of the Cloudsoaring sect have a deep grudge against the Cloud Sky Sect. " Feng Xing seemed to be surprised by Lu Chen's reply.

"By instinct." Lu Chen said indifferently. Senior doesn't seem to have answered my question. " Lu Chen said.

"My surname is Ling, and my real name is Ling Fengxing. I am the grandson of Sect Master Ling Ba." Feng Xing said lightly.

Lu Chen looked at Feng Xing in surprise, but didn't say anything as he quietly listened to Feng Xing.

"Ten thousand years ago, my grandfather, Ling Ba, took over the position of head of the Lingyun Sect and my grandfather led the Lingyun Sect to the peak. Right now, the Devil Sect, Intense Flaming Sect, Golden Buddha Academy, Qian Yuan, and the Confucius Courtyard are actually not subordinate sects of the Lingyun Sect, but different sub-schools formed from different systems of cultivation in the Lingyun Sect. When I was young, I was not willing to grow up under the glory of my grandfather. Furthermore, since I was young, I was quite interested in the cultivation system of the Devil Sect. Thus, I left behind a letter and stealthily ran over to the Chen Province to participate in that year's Devil Sect's preliminaries. Afterwards, my grandfather found out that I had run to the Devil Sect and wanted to bring me back to the Lingyun Sect without alerting anyone, but I didn't want to go back to the sect no matter what. My grandfather could only tell me to be careful and return to the Lingyun Sect. Over the next few decades, I would normally run back to the Cloudsoaring sect to celebrate New Year with my grandfather without telling them anything. Furthermore, I came back when no one else knew about my existence, so basically no one in the Cloudsoaring sect knew about me. And the only people who know that I exist are my grandfather's two disciples, Yun Tian and Jin Cong, who disappeared later on. " Feng Xing paused for a moment before continuing, "I remember that I just broke through into the Aurous Core stage at the time of my grandfather's accident, so I wanted to go to the Northern Frontier to monitor the movements of the foreign forces. On my way to the Northern Frontier, I passed by the Lingyun Sect to share my breakthrough with my grandfather before I left hurriedly. At that time, my grandfather had already died, and the Devil Sect's several sects had all left the Cloudsoaring sect. The news that I hastily ran back to the Devil Sect was that my grandfather had been killed by Yun Tian bribing the disciples beside him, and I wanted to return to the Lingyun Sect to learn the truth, but before I could return to the Lingyun Sect, I was being hunted down, so I had no choice but to stay in the Devil Sect. Two years after the incident in the Lingyun Sect, I received news that Yun Tian had established the Cloud Sky Sect himself. After saying that, Feng Xing looked meaningfully at Lu Chen.

"Senior, then do you think this matter has anything to do with Yun Tian?" Lu Chen asked.

"Although I've never really liked Yun Tian and have always been jealous of my grandfather's favoritism towards him, I've never doubted him. This is because after I reached the Nascent Soul stage, when I went to the Cloud Sky Sect to visit him, looking at his calm and clear eyes, I believed him. I also know that my grandfather has always been like his father in his heart. Also, my grandfather's cultivation was already at the peak of the late stage of Soul Formation and Yun Tian was only at the early stage of Soul Formation, so he wasn't my grandfather's match at all. Feng Xing said calmly.

Lu Chen was silent for a moment. Although he had guessed that Ling Ba's cultivation was already very high back then, he did not expect that he had already reached the Great Perfection Stage. Hence, another doubt appeared in Lu Chen's mind: "Senior, if it's really like you said, Sect Leader Ling Ba was already at the Great Perfection Stage, then why hasn't he ascended?"

Feng Xing's expression dimmed when he heard Lu Chen's words, "It's for the Cloudsoaring sect. It's also for waiting for my cultivation to reach such a high level. After my father was killed by someone, my grandfather had always protected me with everything he had, even though I, the successor to the Cloudsoaring sect, should have cultivated the orthodox Floating Wind Sword Technique and let me go to the Devil Sect. In fact, my grandfather had always wanted Yun Tian to take over the Cloudsoaring sect. From this perspective, I can't think of a reason for Yun Tian to rebel against my grandfather. " Feng Xing said.

Moreover, at first, he didn't feel anything, but after hearing what Feng Xing said, he felt a trace of unease in his heart. At first, he had thought that the events of ten thousand years ago were caused by someone else, but it was none of his business, but now, Lu Chen believed that this matter would affect his future plans. Moreover, Lu Chen had a feeling that there was a pair of eyes watching him.

"Then, Senior, are you telling me these things to remind me that everything isn't that simple?" Lu Chen asked.

"That's right. I know that you came to the Devil Sect this time to subdue the former glory of the Lingyun Sect, but I suggest that you investigate everything that happened ten thousand years ago before doing that. Otherwise, you won't be able to do it that smoothly." Feng Xing said.

Lu Chen knew Feng Xing's words made a lot of sense, so he decided to temporarily give up on his current plan and ask Yun Tian what had happened ten thousand years ago, to find out the truth of what had happened ten thousand years ago. And for some reason, Lu Chen had a feeling that it would be easy to reclaim the Golden Buddha and the Confucian Academies after finding out the truth about 10,000 years ago.

After thinking it through, Lu Chen discovered that he had been out for a long time. He apologetically said to Feng Xing, "Senior, I've already been out for a long time. It's not good for me to stay and take my leave."

"Lu Chen, you've been calling me senior the entire time, but you're still not willing to call me by my surname? You still don't believe me?" Seeing Lu Chen turn around, Feng Xing asked.

"Senior, you're overthinking it. I'm just afraid that if I meet you again, I'll make a mistake." With that, Lu Chen teleported away.

Feng Xing silently looked at Lu Chen's back for a long time before tears silently flowed down his face, "Grandpa, I'll come and find you when I find out the truth."

After a long while, Feng Xing wiped away the tears on his face. Feeling the spirit energy constantly being drained from his body, he bitterly smiled and returned to Devil's Punishment Peak.
