Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints -
Chapter 880 - 547: Questions to the Spirit in the Cold Palace, The Secret Likeness of the Spirit Mirror (Two-in-One for Monthly Passes and Subscriptions)
Lanling Island, atop the pure white snowy mountains, a huge palace stood in isolation.
The palace was built entirely from Profound Cold Steel, radiating bursts of chill, yet it also exuded a desolate majesty.
It resembled a Profound Cold Beast crouching over the territory, overlooking the entire island with indifference.
This palace was none other than Lanling Palace, the sleeping quarters of the real person of Lanling.
Tianliu True Person and others arrived at the island and headed straight to Lanling Palace. However, as expected, the real person of Lanling was indeed not on the island in seclusion.
Even Profound Ice Palace was searched thoroughly, finding nothing but relatives; no trace was left behind.
At this moment, countless Purple Mansion cultivators were converging towards Lanling Palace.
Few cultivators dared to truly defy the orders of the Coral Alliance; carrying the label of betrayal meant one could hardly move a step in the Coral Sea Domain.
Unless you drift endlessly upon the sea, forget about using any of the Transmission Formations on the islands within the Coral Alliance, and with many True Persons on your trail, hardly any cultivators could escape.
This was even more terrifying than the Eastern Domain; after all, in the Eastern Domain, you just need to flee one nation of immortal cultivation. But in the vast Southern Sea with few islands, without Transmission Formations, it's exceedingly difficult to escape.
Unless you genuinely wish to seclude yourself for a long time on an island, waiting out the period.
But cultivators in the Purple Mansion or Golden Core stage clearly cannot outlast it.
All Purple Mansion cultivators began to assemble inside Lanling Palace; within a short span of three days, nearly a hundred Purple Mansion cultivators had appeared.
Most of them wore the distinct Profound Cold robes unique to the Lanling archipelago, and they were sturdier than cultivators from other sea domains.
However, unlike their usual high and mighty demeanor, they all appeared uneasy at this moment.
After all, they were facing Tianliu True Person, Yunli True Person, and Red Leaf True Person, who represented the legitimate authority of the Coral Alliance.
Beside them was Lin Shiming, the current Golden Core of Lin Family, in charge of Lianyun Island.
Especially the Purple Mansion cultivators from White Ice Island, one of the external islands of Lanling Island, kept their heads very low.
Over the years, they had engaged in ceaseless strife with the forces affiliated with Lianyun Island. The scene that unfolded earlier was the same they had experienced, only they believed those Demonic Beasts weren't from a beast tide.
They were Spirit Beasts bred by the Lin Family.
They were not betraying the Coral Alliance; they were simply retaliating against the forces affiliated with Lianyun Island, which had first encroached on White Ice Island.
This was something that must not be brought up now, and certainly not by them.
As the last of the Purple Mansion cultivators arrived, the one responsible for roll call bowed to Tianliu True Person as a sign.
"Do you know me?" Tianliu True Person stepped forward, holding the Elder's token from Yunli True Person in her hand.
This was also approved by the latter; over the past few days, they had come to realize just how resolute and decisive Tianliu True Person could be in her actions.
"Naturally, we recognize you, senior Tianliu. We juniors are wholeheartedly devoted to the Coral Alliance and have never been involved in collusion. We will certainly cooperate fully with senior Tianliu's thorough investigation!" A hermit from amongst the top ten late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators was the first to speak up.
Others also voiced their agreement.
Most of those present had not yet been involved in any wrongdoing or had not had the chance to betray.
At this moment, they naturally expressed their willingness to cooperate fully and draw clear lines with the real person of Lanling.
"Very well. Now answer me one question, where is the real person of Lanling in seclusion, and where is the real person of Profound Ice in seclusion?" Tianliu True Person asked sternly.
At the same time, an Inquiry Spirit Talisman floated above the hall.
At this moment, it was as if it fell upon their very hearts.
Everyone's expression changed at once, and they all fell silent.
Tianliu True Person made no attempt to hide her seriousness; precisely because she did not hide it, the situation was severe.
Otherwise, even if Tianliu True Person was a top-five expert of the Coral Alliance, she wouldn't have such unchecked brazenness!
No one wanted to speak under the Inquiry Spirit Talisman.
Finally, under Tianliu True Person's gaze, they began to answer one by one.
All answers were uncertain, a result that did not surprise Lin Shiming and the others.
If someone had a clear answer, that would indeed be a problem.
However, Tianliu True Person's questions did not end there.
The first question was simply to lower everyone's defenses and make them less resistant to the Inquiry Spirit Talisman.
Only to see Tianliu True Person once again speak up:
"Very good, no one lied on the first question, and I am very satisfied!"
"Now, who needs to be contacted when a major incident occurs on Lanling Island? And who is actually able to contact the real person of Lanling?" Tianliu True Person asked again.
As these words came out, everyone's faces changed once again.
By asking that, it was clear there were those who could make contact, even if it meant reaching the secondary contact person.
Lin Shiming also scanned the crowd, but these Purple Mansion cultivators all seemed incredibly experienced; their expressions hardly varied.
Again, there were voices of ignorance.
Just as Lin Shiming thought there would be no gains, another voice rang out:
"Contact Madame Xin, response to senior Tianliu!" a Purple Mansion cultivator of considerable years spoke up, and his expression darkened.
He knew that after saying this, unless the real person of Lanling was dead, he and his family would either have to hide in the Tianliu archipelago or live in anonymity from that day forward.
Once his statement was made, all Purple Mansion cultivators turned their gaze towards one of the only two female Purple Mansion cultivators in the crowd.
This female cultivator wore a lanhua (orchid-patterned) dress, exuding nobility and elegance.
But one must remember, Madame Xin was the wife of the former island lord of Lanling Island, hence the name Madame Xin.
There was a general sense of commiseration among the people.
Yet at this moment, the body of Madame Xin began to tremble slightly!
The next moment, with two thunderous boom sounds!
It seemed as if the willow trees in the sky had moved.
