"The Fortune Point has barely changed!"

"Have I really been targeted by the Blood Domain Divine Sect?"

Jiang Feng’s expression changed abruptly.

Supposedly, if the Blood Domain Divine Sect was after Huang Li, investigating his past in the Central Earth, they’d surely follow the clues and notice Jiang Feng as well.

They might ignore the identity of the Great Zhou Guardian Master, but the Qinglong Cauldron and Dragon Bone Bow, these two Innate Magical Treasures, would never escape the Blood Domain Divine Sect’s attention.

Conversely, if they investigated Huang Li and truly didn’t notice Jiang Feng, then Jiang Feng had, unknowingly, dodged two waves of danger—one from the Blood Domain Divine Sect revealing the truth to Huang Li, and another from their covetous desire for the two Innate Magical Treasures.

"Where exactly did the problem arise?"

"By the Blood Domain Divine Sect’s tactics, if they know about my grudge with Huang Li, they should seize the opportunity in the Main Hall to expose it and provoke a fight between me and Huang Li."

"So do they know of my existence, or not?"

"If they’re clueless, that’s fine; if they know and pretend not to, then there’s a secret involved."

"Could it be... No, it’s definitely because of the Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron."

"Or perhaps my identity as a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master!"

The more Jiang Feng considered it, the more alarmed he became.

"Only Changyun, Xiang Pangyun, and the Sect Leader know that I’ve become a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master. Changyun is always by my side, so he’s unlikely to betray me. Xiang Pangyun isn’t in Cyan Cloud Sect, he’s still in the Central Earth. Could the problem lie with him?"

Jiang Feng had never suspected Lin Tianlin.

Lin Tianlin is the Sect Leader of Cyan Cloud Sect, who gave both the Golden Dragon Armor and Sea Stabilizing Pearl to him, just to ensure his safety. Even if someone leaked a secret, it couldn’t be Lin Tianlin.

So if the Fourth-Grade Talisman Master identity was exposed,

then the problem lies either with Changyun or Xiang Pangyun.

And since Xiang Pangyun is still in Central Earth, he seems the most suspicious, except that he led the team that wiped out Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall, personally ordered by Lin Tianlin. Lin Tianlin trusted him to leave Cyan Cloud Sect without fear of a leak. Thus, Xiang Pangyun is probably not the culprit either.

So if anyone is dubious, it’s Changyun.

If Changyun is clean,

then the problem must be with the Qinglong Cauldron and Dragon Bone Bow.

"I’ll go see the Sect Leader."

Jiang Feng left his cave residence, summoned the Flying Ship, and flew towards Cyan Cloud Peak.

"Brother Jiang, where are you headed?"

Changyun stood at his cave entrance pondering, saw Jiang Feng suddenly emerge and fly away on his ship, and couldn’t help but ask.

"I need to discuss something with the Sect Leader."

Jiang Feng answered truthfully.

Changyun frowned, thought for a moment, then returned to his cave.

"Sect Leader!"

When Jiang Feng arrived at the Cyan Cloud Peak Main Hall, Huang Li, Wu Jingming, and the others were already gone, leaving only Lin Tianlin and a few sect Elders in council.

The crowd saw him enter; all except Lin Tianlin frowned. Even though Jiang Feng was a First-Grade Talisman Master, his status higher than an official disciple, he still shouldn’t barge into the Main Hall, especially during council.

"I have urgent business to report to the Sect Leader."

Jiang Feng realized he’d been rash.

"Wait at the entrance!"

Lin Tianlin commanded, calm and authoritative.

"Yes!"

Jiang Feng withdrew with a humble bow.

He knew Lin Tianlin was protecting him.

Two hours passed.

The council ended, and the Elders left the Main Hall. Seeing Jiang Feng waiting outside, looking humble, they found it curious but didn’t ask.

Half an hour more went by.

Everyone was gone.

Lin Tianlin finally summoned Jiang Feng in.

Jiang Feng approached Lin Tianlin, who waved his hand, casting a light screen that enveloped them both.

"What have you discovered?"

Lin Tianlin seemed to know Jiang Feng’s purpose.

"If the Divine Sect can learn about Huang Li’s past, they could easily investigate me too. If they did, they’d know I’m now in the Cyan Cloud Sect, yet they keep it secret. I suspect it has something to do with the two things I possess."

Jiang Feng spoke seriously.

As he spoke, he took out the Dragon Bone Bow and Qinglong Cauldron.

Lin Tianlin showed no surprise at the sight of the artifacts.

Half a year ago, he’d learned from Xiang Pangyun’s message that the Innate Magical Treasure, Qinglong Cauldron, left in the Dragon Capital Underground Palace by the ancestors, was now in Jiang Feng’s hands.

If someone else held them, they’d naturally need to be reclaimed.

But now Jiang Feng is a Fourth-Grade Talisman Master of the Cyan Cloud Sect, a member of the sect, so Lin Tianlin considered the treasures in Jiang Feng’s hands as being in the sect’s hands, and played ignorant.

He was equally aware of the Dragon Bone Bow in Jiang Feng’s possession.

Back in the Central Earth Continent, Jiang Feng used both the Qinglong Cauldron and Dragon Bone Bow in battles frequently; it was impossible for them to go unnoticed.

"I’ve only ever seen records of these treasures in ancient books. To think I would see them with my own eyes today."

Lin Tianlin sighed with emotion.

His hand couldn’t help but touch the Qinglong Cauldron, then he was irresistibly drawn to pick up the Dragon Bone Bow.

As the Sect Leader of Cyan Cloud Sect,

his strength was deep and unfathomable.

Although both treasures had been refined by Jiang Feng, he could still easily lift them.

"Sect Leader, you..."

Jiang Feng was shocked inside.

Lin Tianlin said he’d only seen the Qinglong Cauldron and Dragon Bone Bow in the ancient books before. Did that mean his present cultivation had not yet reached two hundred years?
