Daluo Town.
When Li Fei brought Ning Qingman here, the Mountain Protection Array of the Daluo Sect had already closed, and the Daluo Sect was no longer in seclusion.
Tai Yu was officially appointed as the State Preceptor of the Great Lan Dynasty, and the Daluo Sect began to reclaim its forr authority.
Daluo Town was lively at this mont, as many youths flocked from all directions, hoping to join the Daluo Sect.
After Tai Yu was appointed as the State Preceptor, the first thing he did upon returning to the sect was announce the end of the sect's seclusion, and the second was to publicly recruit disciples.
Disciples of the Daluo Sect are selected from children aged seven or eight. Although it's hard to determine their cultivation aptitude at this age, they can lay a foundation, strengthen their muscles and bones, learn martial arts, and take elixirs to cleanse themselves.
When they reach adulthood, they can then incorporate an implant, making their cultivation much more effective.
This is the advantage of being a Great Sect Disciple.
The reputation of the Daluo Sect had previously been ruined by Qing Xu; even with public recruitnt, few dared to send their children here.
However, things are different now. With the news spreading, not only from Ming Province but parents from seven or eight surrounding provinces brought their children to participate in the examination, hoping to join the Daluo Sect.
Daluo Town was almost overcrowded, and Li Fei and Ning Qingman didn't enter the town but waited in the forest on the outskirts.
Monts later, a white streak crossed the sky, unnoticed by others, landing outside Daluo Town.
"Greetings, State Preceptor."
"Greetings, Tai Yu Master."
Li Fei and Ning Qingman saluted Tai Yu, who was wearing a Daoist robe.
Tai Yu did not co alone; he brought a dark-skinned youth, Chaganbayar.
After returning the salute, Tai Yu pushed Chaganbayar forward, sending him before Li Fei.
Chaganbayar looked utterly hopeless, unable to move.
Since that day when Ye Ze'an set him up and exposed him before Qing Ding, he had been imprisoned by the Daluo Sect until Tai Yu brought him out alone, presenting him to Li Fei.
Li Fei looked at this Grassland Pride, sowhat impressed by Ye Ze'an's thods.
The other party had set a perfect trap for the Buddhists while simultaneously probing Chaganbayar's identity.
"Speak, are you Qilian Guanshi or the Nether River Ancestor?"
Li Fei asked.
"....I am neither the Nether River Ancestor nor Qilian Guanshi; I just possess parts of their mory."
Chaganbayar knew that there was no point in hiding anymore, so he revealed his identity.
But he knew that once he revealed his true identity, he would be dead for sure. So during this period, he had already crafted a story for himself.
Li Fei: "Tell , what's the full story?"
Having promised to hand over the Forget River Tao Principle to Tai Yu, the origin of the Forget River needed to be clarified by Tai Yu.
"After the battle at Cuiqing City, the Nether River Ancestor targeted the princes and dukes of the Western Continent..."
Chaganbayar began to recount the various upheavals, describing how he encountered Qilian Guanshi's ruthless attack and how he planted a key counterasure that ultimately led to his victory.
He continued until he possessed Chaganbayar, then changed his narrative:
"At that ti, Qilian Guanshi was being hunted by the 'Demon Spear,' severely injured, and in order to survive, he used the Reincarnation Dao Principle to reincarnate, like rebirth onto , while preserving the Forget River Dao Principle.
I carried a portion of Qi Fortune that happened to originate from the Nether River Ancestor, so when Qilian Guanshi attempted reincarnation on , he triggered the Nether River Ancestor's Yin Soul. After their struggle, both perished, and I inherited most of the Nether River Ancestor's mory and part of Qilian Guanshi's."
Most of what Chaganbayar said was true; the details didn't seem fabricated, only the most crucial parts contained lies.
He knew that if he was rely a grassland youth who inherited parts of the Nether River Ancestor and Qilian Guanshi's mories, he might still have a chance to survive.
Otherwise, he was certainly dead!
After listening to Chaganbayar's account, Li Fei finally understood how the Forget River Tao Principle was preserved.
The conditions were indeed harsh, requiring the Reincarnation Dao Principle's cooperation, and since the Nether River Ancestor hadn't completely fallen, but was refined into a Yin Soul.
Thus, there was an opportunity to preserve an individual Dao Principle.
If soone refines this Dao Principle in the future, when that person dies, the Forget River will similarly dissipate.
Li Fei looked at Tai Yu:
"What does the State Preceptor think?"
Tai Yu fell into contemplation.
If Chaganbayar rely inherited mories from both, he is, in fact, innocent. He not only carries Qi Fortune but also possesses the mories of a Peak Strong Person, providing promising prospects as the most suitable successor of the Forget River Dao Principle.
If trained with care, he is bound to beco a True Monarch in the future!
But if Chaganbayar is lying, and is actually the reincarnation of either the Nether River Ancestor or Qilian Guanshi, then keeping him in the Daluo Sect poses a trendous hidden threat.
The risks and benefits of this matter correlate.
Currently, Chaganbayar is nominally a disciple of the Daluo Sect, and Li Fei has agreed to hand over the Forget River Dao Principle to Tai Yu, so Chaganbayar's fate should be decided by Tai Yu.
Tai Yu looked at Li Fei:
"Does the Duke have a way to verify his truthfulness?"
Li Fei: "I do have a thod."
"Oh?"
"Chaganbayar, I need you to open your heart thoroughly to , and I will cast magic to explore your subconscious."
Li Fei said.
He possessed the magic of the Nightmare Sect, and as long as the target is willing to open their heart completely, he could discover all secrets deep within their inner being.
Chaganbayar's expression froze, but he could only agree through gritted teeth.
