Chapter 117: Don’t Tell Your Secrets to Others
"What did you say?" Shangqing Zhenren was shocked, "Are you serious?"
"It's absolutely true. Chi Yanzi was dressed in rags when he came here. I guess he had suffered some hardships in the barbarian continent." Zhenren Qianyuan said with a frown, his face full of worry.
The elders were also dignified when they heard this. If the Demon Lord really hid in the Savage Continent, then he was very close. After so many years, with his ability, it would not be difficult for him to make a comeback.
After all, he had fought his way back to the demon world and reclaimed the throne all by himself. But since he could lead the demons, why would he stay in the human world?
Shangqing Zhenren thought for a moment, and then called Han Yang to ask questions.
"Where is Elder Fu Cang?"
Seeing the expressions of his master and the elders, Han Yang wondered if Ling Xiang had gotten into trouble again. Hesitating about how to start, Shang Qing Zhenren saw this and hurriedly said:
"I have to prioritize things, why don't you report it quickly!"
Seeing this, Han Yang hurriedly replied: "Just now, the little nun went down the mountain, saying that she was going to meet an old friend..."
Now no one knows where Bai Wuchang is, and she once invaded the sect during a martial arts performance. If the Demon Lord's goal is really the spiritual incense, how could he allow her to play like this?
"Go down the mountain quickly and find Elder Fu Cang! There must be no mistakes!" ordered Shangqing Zhenren.
Han Yang was about to take the order and leave when Master Donghui suddenly spoke.
"Wait a minute!"
Han Yang looked at the elders on the stage, not knowing what to do, when he saw Master Donghui bow to Master Shangqing and say:
"Master, please don't be so anxious. Listen to me. The demons are indeed taking some actions now, but I think they are still cautious. Otherwise, according to the temperament of the demon lord, he would have attacked the sect long ago."
"Besides, the fairy Tu Mi cast a curse on him back then. I think he collected the life-extending pills because of this curse. Although many years have passed, there is no solution to the curse. Even if he takes over someone else's body, the curse will accompany his soul and he cannot escape. That's why they only sent the White-Faced Shura."
Having said this, he looked at Master Zhao Ming again: "And now the mountain gate formation is still strong, even Bai Wuchang can't do anything to break into the formation, so he had to use a mean trick to enter the formation. Although we still don't know how he did it, but because of this, it seems that even if the Demon Lord has a purpose, Lingxiang should not be a problem."
"What we should do now is to find the thief first to prevent the demons from attacking again. That is the right thing to do."
After hearing Master Donghui's opinion, all the elders fell into deep thought. After a long while, Master Zhaoming spoke:
"Fourth Senior Brother, what you said is not without reason, but there are some things that we must guard against. Back then, we did not expect that the person who came to rescue Master from Fairy Sui Tu Mi would be like this, which caused the sect to suffer such hardships. Now that we know about it, and the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, we should be cautious and careful."
"Of course we should be careful," said Master Chengxin with a frown, "but what Fourth Junior Brother said is not without reason. If we are on high alert now, I am afraid it will alert the enemy and it will be difficult to catch the traitor. In my opinion, it is better to pretend that we don't know what to do. Junior Sister is not in danger anyway. It won't be too late to sort out our own affairs first and then discuss it."
"That's exactly the truth." Master Fuyin echoed, "Lingxiang is not someone who doesn't know the big picture. Even now that she's gone down the mountain, I think she has some plans in mind. To be honest, I'm afraid that we brothers are not as cunning as her. We just need to keep a close eye on her in the future."
After hearing what the elders said, Shangqing Zhenren closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before making a decision.
"In this case, Hanyang, you don't need to look for your junior aunt yet. Just teach your junior brothers and sisters the magic techniques and treat it as if nothing happened. All the junior brothers and sisters should intensify their training to prevent the invasion of the demons."
The elders bowed and said yes, and Han Yang also took the order and left. Immortal Shangqing then instructed Immortal Qianyuan: "Second Junior Brother, come with me to see Taoist Chi Yanzi and ask him about the details of what he has inquired about."
……
Lingxiang was strolling alone in the streets. She hadn't been to Guyang Old Street for a long time, but the shops on both sides were still the same. However, she was now troubled and not in the same mood as she was years ago.
When they reached the south of the city, the neighbors on the road were still as enthusiastic as ever when they saw Lingxiang, and they all greeted her continuously.
"Ah! Xiao Lingxiang! I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought your Youranju was closed!"
"Did Xiao Lingxiang find her ideal husband? Is Youranju no longer doing business?"
... Lingxiang responded all the way, saying that she had encountered a difficult situation while out and couldn't get away, and she just came back to get some things, and she had to go out again.
Upon hearing this, everyone urged her to take care of herself and not to force herself, and Lingxiang agreed to their advice.
Many times, she thought that if she was born in an ordinary family, did not know how to practice, and did not understand the way of Taoism, it would be nice to live a comfortable life like this. But she was born in the Taoist sect after all, and since she knew all the reasons, she could not give up.
After pushing open the door and entering, You Ran Ju was much emptier. After the cleanup during the Lantern Festival, all the tables, chairs and cabinets had been thrown away, and the house was empty, which looked a bit desolate.
"I thought you were so cool, how come you've become so sentimental after just a few months of not seeing you?"
Suddenly someone spoke in the yard, and Lingxiang smiled when she heard it.
"I don't know how a person who was full of resentment could become so cynical." He walked towards the courtyard, "Could it be that you have been enlightened by me and have become so open-minded?"
I saw a man in white lying on the hammock where Lingxiang used to lie in the yard. It was none other than Wu Yuan.
He was swaying comfortably, fiddling with his fluffy tail in his hands, and looked very comfortable.
"Of course, God has been merciful and allowed me to live in this fox form for so many years. If my heart is not as broad as that of a yellow-haired girl, wouldn't I be laughed at if I told others about it?"
"What are you laughing at? You're laughing at a fox with a big tail?" Lingxiang laughed and jumped up, sitting on the water tank in the yard. "The mortal who dares to laugh at you may not have been born yet."
"Whether ordinary people dare to laugh at me or not, I have no way of knowing, but I'm afraid you are the only one who bullies me like this." Wu Yuan smiled, and then said: "I heard from that old guy Chi Yanzi that you are from the Yuanqing Sect. How come your old masters are willing to let you go down the mountain?"
Master?
It seems that Senior Brother Chi Yanzi did not explain it clearly to Wu Yuan.
"Although the Yuanqing Sect is a big sect, there may not be many people who can control me," Lingxiang sat on the edge of the vat and swung her legs lightly, "Who told you that those old antiques in the Yuanqing Sect are my masters? I am a legitimate elder and I have a reputation."
What? Is this what is going on?
Wu Yuan was startled at first, but then his expression became normal: "It seems that I misunderstood. The old man only said half of what he said, and he didn't say who you are."
Lingxiang looked towards Wu Yuan with a smug look on her face, but in just a moment, her expression suddenly changed.
"Get down from my hammock. A big, strong man is sleeping on it with his arms and legs spread out, and it's shaking like that. If I break it, are you going to compensate me with a new one?"
Wu Yuan smiled, put away his tail, jumped off the hammock, walked to Lingxiang and asked, "Since you have gotten me out of that old guy, just tell me the purpose of your trip. Why beat around the bush? It's not like you at all."
Lingxiang smiled when she heard this: "Hey, since you asked so sincerely, I will tell you reluctantly."
"Are you good at the art of transformation?"
Tomorrow’s recommendation, and one more picture today. I hope you will support me.
