But Duan Gujin didn't find more clues from the wreckage of those large ships. He exhaled a breath of murky air, his mind whirling rapidly, wondering if all the people from the Holy Land had perished.

Just as he was wandering around nearby cities to gather information, he came across a useful piece of intelligence.

"So the people from the Holy Land are not dead, they encountered an attack from a giant Xuan Turtle in the sea!"

Hearing this news, Duan Gujin involuntarily took a sharp breath.

He remembered that in his previous life, while fleeing, he encountered a giant Xuan Turtle on his journey.

He was extremely terrified at the time and used the techniques from the Netherworld Treasure Book to conceal his life aura so the giant Xuan Turtle would not discover him.

"So the people from the Holy Land encountered that giant Xuan Turtle!"

Duan Gujin took a sharp breath again, as in his previous life, he had encountered an exceptionally large Xuan Turtle in the sea.

He guessed that the giant Xuan Turtle was very likely the same one he had encountered in his previous life, since, in this world, Xuan Turtles of such enormous size were rare.

"What about that light pillar?"

Duan Gujin originally wanted to investigate that light pillar, but despite his efforts, he was unable to gather more information.

For instance, Duan Gujin couldn't find out where the people from the Holy Land had gone.

Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of murky air, pondered for a while, and then decided to return to the Green Cloud Sect.

However, just as he was preparing to leave, a voice came from behind him.

"Excuse me, friend ahead, are you by any chance looking for that light pillar?"

Duan Gujin's expression changed slightly, and he quickly turned around to see a young man greeting him.

The young man seemed to be in his thirties and emanated the aura of a Martial Monarch Third Level.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he said, "Yes, I am a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect. I intended to find the light pillar that appeared over the East Sea, but so far, I haven't gathered much information, so I can only return to the Green Cloud Sect!"

He disclosed his intentions to the young man in front of him because many Martial Artists from Qiankun Continent had entered the cities along the East Coast.

They came here because they heard about an extremely bizarre light pillar on the East Coast, and many believed it to be a treasure of inestimable value.

Thus, many people entered the cities along the East Coast to see if they could find any valuable information.

Duan Gujin judged that this young man was just an adventurer, like those he had seen in those cities.

"Oh, I see! I am a student of Qiankun Royal Academy!" the young man hurriedly introduced himself.

The Qiankun Royal Academy, run by Qiankun Country, the most powerful nation in Qiankun Continent, is slightly less powerful than the Green Cloud Sect but is still a significant force in Qiankun Continent.

"It's a pleasure! It's a pleasure!"

Duan Gujin's eyes twinkled; he knew he was wearing the garb of an Inner Sect Disciple of the Green Cloud Sect and that the young man in front of him would definitely recognize him.

The reason he wanted to engage in conversation with this young man was to see if he could extract some valuable information from him.

"It's a pleasure! It's a pleasure! My name is Jiang Qichen, may I ask how to address you?"

"My name is Duan Gujin!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they exchanged names and some information.

Duan Gujin didn't expect that Jiang Qichen would tell him about the intelligence concerning that light pillar from the Qiankun Royal Academy.

"Isn't this inappropriate? This is your Qiankun Royal Academy's intelligence?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, he was pondering whether this person in front of him was reliable.

"What I told you isn't exactly top-secret intelligence, it's okay!"

Jiang Qichen said lightly.

"Oh, so that's it!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, he was somewhat suspicious of Jiang Qichen.

"The Qiankun Royal Academy has learned that the light pillar nearly reappears above the ocean every other day, and each time it does, a giant Xuan Turtle also appears! The upper echelons of the Royal Academy speculate that the giant Xuan Turtle is targeting that light pillar!"

Hearing Jiang Qichen's words, Duan Gujin gasped.

If it were someone else, they might doubt whether the intelligence shared by Jiang Qichen was true.

But Duan Gujin, in his past life and previously, had already witnessed the giant Xuan Turtle's appearance with his own eyes, his mind raced, and he believed that the intelligence Jiang Qichen provided was likely true.

"That's right! The high-level officials of the Green Cloud Sect think the same!"

Duan Gujin said this because he wanted to get more intelligence from Jiang Qichen.

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Jiang Qichen only felt a slight shock inside, but when he thought of the Green Cloud Sect, a power not to be underestimated, he figured that their intelligence might be exactly the same as what the Qiankun Royal Academy had discovered.

"Do you guys in the Green Cloud Sect have any special intelligence?"

Jiang Qichen asked.

"I once rode a fishing boat alone to chase that beam of light, and on the way, I saw the giant Xuan Turtle!"

Duan Gujin was now telling Jiang Qichen about his encounter with the giant Xuan Turtle in his past life.

"At that time I was extremely scared, to survive, I concealed my life aura, doing everything possible to avoid being discovered by the giant Xuan Turtle. Lastly, I was really lucky, the giant Xuan Turtle just circled around near me and then left, it probably didn't notice my presence!"

"You are really lucky! I heard people from the Holy Land also saw that giant Xuan Turtle, they were attacked by the giant Xuan Turtle, and all their large ships were destroyed! The shell of the giant Xuan Turtle is extremely hard, no matter how the people from the Holy Land attacked, they couldn't injure the giant Xuan Turtle! Fortunately, the giant Xuan Turtle didn't intend to harm those people from the Holy Land, after destroying their ships, everybody immediately dispersed and escaped."

Hearing Jiang Qichen talk about what happened to the people in the Holy Land after encountering the giant Xuan Turtle, Duan Gujin judged that the Qiankun Royal Academy must be exchanging intelligence with the Holy Land.

Otherwise, an ordinary disciple of the Qiankun Royal Academy wouldn't possibly know about the Holy Land's encounter.

"Could it be that the giant Xuan Turtle doesn't like to attack the Human Clan?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, he was somewhat puzzled about what the giant Xuan Turtle ultimately wanted to do.

"Perhaps the giant Xuan Turtle is in a hurry to find that light pillar! The people from the Holy Land said, after destroying all their ships, it quickly swam towards the location from where that light pillar was emitted!"

Jiang Qichen said.

"Oh!"

"So how has your Qiankun Royal Academy decided to find that light pillar?"

Duan Gujin asked tentatively.

"We decided to disperse our forces, and our people discovered that as long as we conceal our Qi, we won't be detected by the giant Xuan Turtle!"

Jiang Qichen replied.
