4495 The Identity of Elder Pan Shan

In the God Refining Sect, a blood moon hung in the sky. The shadow of the moon was sparse, and the roars of the corpses could be heard continuously.

Elder Pan Shan strode into a Corpse Cave on the peak of the limestone mountain and sat down cross-legged with Jian Wushuang.

“Elder Pan Shan, is there a reason for your late-night visit?”

Jian Wushuang’s eyes flickered as he spoke.

He had a vague guess about Elder Pan Shan. As for whether his guess was correct, he would have to see why Elder Pan Shan had come to find him so late at night.

Elder Pan Shan looked at Jian Wushuang and asked, “Wushuang, this old man has a few questions to ask you.”

“Elder Pan Shan, please speak.” Jian Wushuang nodded.

“Alright.” Elder Pan Shan acknowledged and pondered for a moment. He then asked, “Wushuang, you’ve heard about the other races in the universe, right?”

“…Yes, I have.” Hearing this, Jian Wushuang’s eyes lit up and he immediately replied.

“Alright. You said that you met those other race members on the way to our sect, and have never known them before. Now, let me ask you, which Star Field did you meet them from?”

“Feng Luo Starfield.”

Jian Wushuang answered without any hesitation.

He had long expected that someone would question him in detail, so he naturally did his homework.

The Feng Luo Starfield was neither too far nor too close to the God Refining Sect. There were not many people here, and it was unlikely that anyone would coincidentally stay in the Feng Luo Starfield.

“Good, then this old master will ask you again, which Star Field do you come from?” Elder Pan Shan nodded and asked again.

Jian Wushuang’s eyes narrowed and he did not answer. Instead, he stared at Elder Pan Shan and asked, “Elder Pan Shan, why did you come here this time? Why don’t you just speak directly, there’s no need to beat around the bush.”

After all, he was not from the Void Universe and could not withstand a detailed interrogation. As for Elder Pan Shan, although he suspected that Pan Shan came from the Divine Power Universe, this matter was of great importance and he could not afford to gamble. If his guess was even the slightest bit wrong, then it was very likely that he would fall short of success and lose everything. He had to be cautious.

“Wushuang, you don’t need to care about what I mean. You just need to answer truthfully,” Elder Pan Shan said emotionlessly.

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang fell silent. After a long while, he took a deep breath and replied, “The Liyang Star Field.”

“The Liyang Star Field?”

Hearing this, Elder Pan Shan laughed and shook his head, “Wushuang, oh Wushuang. The Liyang Starfield and the Feng Luo Starfield are in the South and North of the God Refining Sect. If you came from the Liyang Starfield, how did you meet those other races in the Feng Luo Starfield?”

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang’s eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to speak, Elder Pan Shan continued, “Also, Wushuang, our universe isn’t that big, but it’s not that small either. You didn’t just rely on your talent and closed-door cultivation to become a Star-level Void Warrior. You must have left traces of your growth in the universe, but I have asked around and have never heard of your name, Wushuang.”

“If you still want to argue, I can personally go to the Liyang Starfield and see if there’s anyone who knows you.”

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang slowly narrowed his eyes. His five fingers touched the hilt of the Tarot Divine Sword, and his thumb gently rubbed the hilt of the Tarot Divine Sword.

The sound of a sword rang out.

After a moment, Jian Wushuang seemed to have thought of something. He let go of the hilt of the Tarot Divine Sword and smiled, “Elder Pan Shan, if you have anything to say, just say it.”

Jian Wushuang finally understood. If Elder Pan Shan had really come to expose him, he would not have come alone. The God Refining Sect Master would have led the way and set up an ambush in the surroundings.

However, the divine power he spread out did not detect any signs of an ambush outside.

When Elder Pan Shan heard this, he became silent. He looked at Jian Wushuang for a long time before he said slowly, “You guys were too careless this time. You weren’t careful enough. If the God Refining Sect really had the intention to investigate, you wouldn’t have been able to hide at all.”

Jian Wushuang’s expression did not change, but his heart skipped a beat.

This sentence was already equivalent to a clear indication.

“I know, but it’s an emergency. I don’t have time to plan everything out,” Jian Wushuang replied in a deep voice.

Elder Pan Shan sighed and seemed to understand Jian Wushuang’s dilemma. He replied, “Don’t worry. On the day you joined the sect, I have already taken care of all these things for you. Some time ago, the God Refining Sect sent people to the Liyang Starfield to verify your information. I have also arranged for them to handle everything.”

Pausing for a moment, Elder Pan Shan turned his head and looked through the Corpse Cave into the endless starry sky. It was as if he was looking at another universe from this universe. He seemed to be reminiscing and said in a hoarse voice, “Wushuang, how’s the situation under that starry sky?”

Jian Wushuang did not answer.

Elder Pan Shan did not ask any further. He knew that even at this moment, Jian Wushuang still had a trace of wariness in his heart. This was understandable. After all, from Jian Wushuang’s point of view, he could not rule out the possibility that Pan Shan had played him at his own game and asked him a question in reverse.

However, Elder Pan Shan was mumbling to himself.

“Back then, the seven of us were ordered to come to this universe. We thought that we would be able to investigate the situation of this universe very quickly, but we didn’t expect that our identities were exposed too early, and we were hunted down by the top powers of this universe…”

“Song Feng, Feidu, and the other Fellow Daoists were killed one after another. The Palace Master escaped with his men. I was supposed to die, but. managed to survive and entered the God Refining Sect by accident…”

Jian Wushuang did not interrupt Elder Pan Shan as he spoke slowly. Instead, he listened quietly.

He knew that Pan Shan had been silent for tens of thousands of chaos cycles, and that he had been holding these words back for tens of thousands of chaos cycles. He needed someone to listen to.

Although his words were plain, Jian Wushuang could feel the tragedy, danger, and magnificence of the past.

A moment later.

When Elder Pan Shan finished, he rubbed his eyes and said, “Wushuang, in the past tens of thousands of years, I have never been able to contact my hometown. It’s not good for me to leave so rashly because I know that Lord Cosmos God will definitely send people over again to continue the path that we have yet to complete and the things that we have yet to complete.”

“I’ve been waiting for tens of thousands of chaos cycles, and you’ve finally come.”

“This is the information I’ve gathered in the God Refining Sect over the past tens of thousands of chaos cycles. If you have a way, please pass it on to Lord Cosmos God. This is an extremely important matter, and you must not let anyone else know of it.”

“This was because… I suspect that there are people from this universe in our universe, and they hold high positions!”

After saying that, Elder Pan Shan flipped his right hand and a bamboo tube appeared in his hand. He handed it to Jian Wushuang.
