Chapter 839: Searching for Bones Across Thousands of Miles
Before the formal retreat, Gu Xuanzhan sent a message to Gu Changning, telling him not to disturb him unless there was a matter of life and death in the Gu family.
Gu Shi Ning also understood the seriousness of the matter. After receiving the news, he even designated the area of more than ten miles around Gu Xuanzhan's cave as a temporary restricted area, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
While Gu Xuanzhan was practicing to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, Luo Yan, a Nascent Soul cultivator from Haoran Sect, came to the South China Sea.
At this time, she had already stabilized her Nascent Soul stage. Even if she fought with other Nascent Soul cultivators at this time, her stage would not fall.
But this time, she came to the South China Sea mainly to find He Rong's remains.
At this time, four years and nine months had passed since He Rong's death.
However, to this day, the whereabouts of He Rong's remains are still unknown.
Since He Rong's death, disciples of Haoran Sect have been searching for his body. Thousands of disciples have been sent to the South China Sea to search for He Rong's body, but unfortunately, they all returned empty-handed.
Haoran Sect also had no idea how He Rong was killed.
Although Haoran Sect's power in the South China Sea is still not as strong as that of the Qin Family or the Heavenly Beast Sect, it is stronger than some newly established Yuanying forces. However, after a long investigation, no clues have been found, which is really suspicious.
Luo Yan has not come to the South China Sea many times. Every time she came to the South China Sea, she went with He Rong.
In fact, the couple rarely acted separately, but she didn't expect...
Luo Yan looked at the endless sea area of the South China Sea, her eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
After a long time, she slowly exhaled and took out a sea map.
This is a full map of all the sea areas in the South China Sea, among which the Gushan Sea Area and Wandie Sea Area are densely marked.
The above records the results of the exploration of the disciples of Haoran Sect. The target she came to this time was those sea areas that had not been explored.
At this moment, she was in the Tongguan Sea Area.
Haoran Sect had no power in the Tongguan Sea Area, so it had not explored this sea area.
She took out a small bottle and an ancient lamp, opened the bottle, and poured a drop of blood on the ancient lamp.
Then, she put away the bottle, pointed at the ancient lamp, and uttered an obscure spell.
The surging true essence flowed out of her body and entered the ancient lamp. Finally, Luo Yan's fingertips passed across her palm, and a stream of blood turned into lamp oil and fell on the ancient lamp.
Then, the drop of blood turned into a wick, and suddenly turned into a flame and lit up.
Luo Yan looked at the flame carefully, but the light in her eyes went out little by little.
This is the secret technique she found in the Tiandao Peak of Haoran Sect. It can find the approximate direction of the owner of the blood essence within ten thousand miles. However, this secret technique consumes a lot of true essence and may even damage the vitality of the cultivator. If it is not necessary, no one is willing to use this secret technique.
Before this, this secret technique has been shelved. She practiced this secret technique specifically to find He Rong's body.
However, looking at the appearance of the flame now, He Rong's body is not nearby.
Luo Yan closed her eyes, stood in the air, and was silent for a long time before escaping in a certain direction.
And just after Luo Yan escaped for less than a quarter of an hour, her expression suddenly changed.
She looked up and saw that there seemed to be a continent in the distance, flying towards her direction at a high speed!
That speed was even twice as fast as her, a Yuanying cultivator!
She took a rough look with her spiritual sense, but found that her spiritual sense could not penetrate the island at all, let alone find out what was going on above.
Luo Yan put her hands on her waist and fled to the side.
But what she didn't expect was that the island suddenly stopped when it came near her.
Luo Yan looked at the island very vigilantly, and the spirit sword on her waist faintly exuded a fighting spirit.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came to Luo Yan's ears,
"Isn't this fellow Daoist Luo?
You have just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, how come you are here?"
Hearing this, this person seemed to be familiar with her.
Luo Yan frowned slightly, and suddenly a light flashed in her mind, and she remembered who this person was,
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Gu. I came here this time to find the remains of my deceased husband."
The person who spoke to her was not someone else, but Gu Changhuan.
Gu Changhuan had just controlled the ruins of the entire Shangqing Academy to fly out of the deep sea, and met Luo Yan. It was really a bit unexpected that he stopped to ask this question.
However, from what Luo Yan said, has He Rong actually fallen?
What is going on?
Gu Changhuan frowned and said:
"I didn't know that Daoyou He had such an accident;
Madam He, please accept my condolences;
I am also a friend of Daoyou He and Madam He, and I don't know what I can do for you to express my condolences."
When Luo Yan heard this, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes. She bowed and said with a sad voice:
"I didn't dare to trouble Senior Gu;
It's just that my husband has been dead for more than four years, and his remains have not been found yet! I still don't know who the murderer is!
I am very sad, and I hope Senior Gu can lend a hand to help me find my husband's body;
I will be grateful to you and will never forget your kindness in my life!"
In the ruins of Shangqing Academy, Gu Changhuan sighed and said:
"Madam, please go to the island to talk first!"
Of course, he knows how to find people;
But most spells can only find living people and living things;
It is much more difficult to find dead bodies.
If Luo Yan can have He Rong's blood or hair, it will be much easier to find people.
Hearing this, Luo Yan smiled faintly, thanked him, and flew to the island.
Gu Changhuan opened the formation, and Gu Qingzhong and Gu Qingqing brought Luo Yan to Gu Changhuan.
Seeing Gu Changhuan, Luo Yan's eyes flashed with some reminiscence, and she saluted Gu Changhuan.
Gu Changhuan waved his hand and asked her to sit down, and asked:
"Excuse me;
It's just that this news is really a bit sudden;
I remember that a few years ago, I went to the Meteorite Sea with fellow Daoist He Rong to help the Liu family clear out the Zerg;
At that time, he was still fine, why did he suddenly die?"
Luo Yan sat down on the futon, heard the words and smiled miserably, and then told the cause and effect of He Rong's death.
However, after hearing this, Gu Changhuan frowned.
So, what kind of accident did He Rong encounter when he challenged a strong enemy?
Gu Changhuan thought so, and sighed in his heart.
After a while, he sorted out his thoughts and asked:
"I wonder if Madam He has the blood, hair, personal belongings of Fellow Daoist He?
Although I know some tracking techniques, I also need a certain medium to trace the source."
Hearing this, Luo Yan's eyes lit up and nodded repeatedly,
"Yes!"
