Chapter 180: Great Satisfaction
One month later.
Wuqi Mountain, Xiaodan Peak.
Ye Fei invited the two peak masters Lu Changan and Shi Manrong to the cave to drink and chat.
"Haha, it's really gratifying! The 'Xiang Zhenren' who came to Wuqi Mountain to show off his power is now on the wanted list of Lihuo Palace."
Ye Fei was in a good mood and drank to celebrate.
"Are you talking about Xiang Jinglong?"
Lu Changan was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, but he was not acting.
More than half a month after returning from Chishui Market, everything was calm. There was no abnormal reaction in Lihuo Palace, and Song Wenshu and other cultivators had never come to Wuqi Mountain to investigate.
In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't deliberately inquire.
It was not until this time that he learned the relevant news.
"That's right! It's Xiang Jinglong! His name has been added to the wanted list of Lihuo Palace's sect mission."
Ye Fei's face was flushed and he said with certainty.
Back then, Xiang Jinglong came to Xiaodan Peak to eat a free meal, which made Ye Fei feel bad. It would be unrealistic to say that he didn't hold a grudge.
"As a fake Dan Zhenren, what did Xiang Jinglong do to be wanted by Lihuo Palace?"
Shi Manrong was surprised.
"It is said that this person secretly worked as a robber in the past, and did a lot of bullying, killing and stealing. Among the victims were relatives and friends of Lihuo Palace cultivators. The accumulation of several cases had a bad impact, which attracted the attention of Lihuo Palace Law Enforcement Hall..."
Ye Fei explained the reason.
"Xiang Jinglong is quite famous among casual cultivators, but his reputation is not good. This person has become a wanted criminal, and I believe many cultivators will applaud."
Master Fairy pursed her lips and smiled, feeling very happy, but she didn't think too much about it.
Learned the reason why Xiang Jinglong was wanted.
Lu Changan's eyes flickered slightly, and he probably guessed the truth, and he was amused.
That day, Xiang Jinglong made a move near Chishuifang City without revealing his identity, including the recognizable magic weapon and skills.
This person even called himself "He Mou" to try to confuse people.
As a result, he still didn't get rid of the blame.
...
As the first sect in Liangguo's cultivation world and a Yuanying-level force, Lihuo Palace's intelligence network and tracking capabilities are beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.
Even if Xiang Jinglong acted cautiously and didn't reveal obvious flaws.
But as long as he stayed in Chishuifang City for a period of time and left some traces, he might be investigated by Lihuo Palace and draw conclusions through analysis.
Of course, Xiang Jinglong was wanted, on the surface, for the "old things" he had committed in the past.
Only Lu Changan knew that the real reason was the death of Senior Brother Zhuo, which caused displeasure to the high-level officials of Lihuo Palace and decided to punish him.
Lu Changan had experienced several lives, and it was not the first time he had seen such things.
Sometimes, the upper-level forces suddenly took action to punish the "evildoers", seemingly to eliminate harm for the vast number of lower-level cultivators and win praise.
In fact, the truth may be that the evildoers offended the big figures of the upper level.
Or it was the result of the upper-level game, and they decided to take the "evildoer" as the first move, find a breakthrough in his past crimes and accusers, convict him, and then implicate the upper-level opponents.
The starting point is from top to bottom.
Rather than from bottom to top, to truly redress the grievances of the lower-level cultivators.
Otherwise, Xiang Jinglong, a cultivator who wanders in the gray area, would not be wanted by Lihuo Palace until today.
In the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, there is an unspoken rule:
As long as the real-level strongman has not committed a major crime or left ironclad evidence, the sect often will not easily want him.
After all, it is not so easy to want a real person, and it may lead to backlash.
"This Xiang Zhenren, I am afraid he doesn't know the truth about being wanted."
Back at Xiaogui Peak, Lu Changan looked happy and chuckled.
It's not that Xiang Jinglong is stupid.
It's that he doesn't know the identity of Brother Zhuo and the inside story.
He doesn't even know who he offended.
...
The next few months.
Lu Changan quietly paid attention to the situation of Master Xiang being wanted, but he could not show that he was paying attention.
During this period, there were various versions of rumors.
Some people said that Xiang Jinglong was seriously injured by the sect monks.
Others said that Master Xiang hid his identity and hid in the secular world, or even fled to a neighboring country.
Judging from the rumors alone, the Lihuo Palace’s efforts to wanted Xiang Jinglong were not small.
Until a few days after Lu Changan turned 129 years old.
Song Wenshu visited Wu Qishan and brought accurate news.
Song Wenshu did not come alone.
He was followed by a skinny old man in a long robe with dull eyes.
"Lin... Fellow Daoist Lin?"
"Master Lin?"
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong were surprised and looked at the old man in the long robe. They recognized his identity from the other's facial contours and dark red spots.
This person was Master Lin Ye, the previous master of Xiaodan Peak.
Lu Changan made a simple observation and found that Lin Ye's cultivation had fallen to the initial stage of foundation building. His body was damaged and he was suspected to have been tortured. His mind was a little dazed.
Counting it, it had been more than 20 years since Master Lin Ye left Wuqi Mountain and lost contact with him afterwards.
At that time, Master Lin said that he had returned to his hometown to live out his life.
This situation may be a clear line with the world of immortal cultivation, so Lu Changan and Master Manrong did not explore it.
This is the case in the world of immortal cultivation. You will meet countless passers-by in the long years.
Even if you are a long-lived person, it is impossible to see through the fate and final destination of everyone you know.
"Lu... Daoist friend... Master... Master Fairy."
Lin Ye forced a smile on his face, a little silly, and spoke hesitantly.
"Fellow Daoist Lin was imprisoned by Xiang Jinglong for more than 20 years. He refined elixirs day and night, suffered torture, and planted various restrictions. His sea of consciousness was damaged, leaving some sequelae in his sanity..."
Song Wenshu secretly sent a message to explain the situation.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong looked at each other and sighed in sympathy.
After communication, Lu Changan initially judged that Lin Ye only had the IQ of a three or four-year-old child.
His memory is incomplete and confusing, but he has deep feelings for Wu Qishan and has a deep impression on Lu Changan and Shi Manrong.
"After Lin Ye was rescued, he was unconscious and asked to come to Wuqi Mountain..."
Song Wenshu added.
Lu Changan nodded and prepared to invite Song Wenshu to the cave in Xiaogui Peak.
"Little Danfeng..."
Lin Ye murmured, staring at the highest mountain on the other side, refusing to move.
…
Not long after.
The three peak masters, Song Wenshu and Lin Ye, took their seats in the cave of Xiaodan Peak.
After arriving at Xiaodan Peak, Lin Ye had a peaceful expression, immersed in the bricks, tiles, plants and trees here.
"Fellow Daoist Song, has your palace captured Xiang Jinglong?"
Lu Changan said in a deep voice.
From the position at this time, it is reasonable and reasonable to inquire about Xiang Jinglong's situation.
"...We set up a dragnet and seriously injured Xiang Jinglong and forced him into a desperate situation. However, at the critical moment, an accident happened."
Song Wenshu sighed.
"What accident happened?"
The three peak masters couldn't help but be curious.
If it were other sects, it would be difficult to catch a fake elixir master.
But Lihuo Palace, as the master of the immortal cultivation world in Liang Kingdom, if it insists on the death of a fake elixir monk, the latter will hardly be spared.
"If there are secrets involved, Brother Song doesn't have to tell them."
Seeing Song Wen's hesitation in writing, Lu Changan smiled.
"This matter is no longer a secret in the sect circle."
Song Wenshu hesitated and told the truth.
"That guy Xiang Jinglong, in order to escape for his life, actually colluded with the remnants of the Demon Sect. At the border of Liang Kingdom, this man was rescued by Liang Shaotian's eldest disciple 'Li Hai'."
"Remnants of the Demon Sect! Liang Shaotian's great disciple?"
Three peak figures.
Liang Shaotian had been promoted to the Core Formation stage decades ago. During the sect's encirclement and suppression campaign, he fought against several real people alone, but was seriously injured and escaped.
This leader of the remnants of the Demon Cult in the Immortal Realm of Liang Kingdom, although he has been dormant for many years and is rumored to have fled to other countries, he has left a great reputation in Liang Kingdom.
Liang Shaotian's eldest disciple "Li Hai", although he did not have the same luck as his master, as a genius with earth spirit roots, he received the powerful inheritance of the demonic path taught by his master, and his strength was far higher than that of the same level.
Li Hai once made a big fuss in the "Secret Realm of Qingming" to wash away the shame of his master Liang Shaotian and killed "Xia Fan", the grandson of the law enforcement elder of Lihuo Palace.
It was also in that battle that Li Hai became famous in one battle. With his peak cultivation in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he leapfrogged and killed someone in the later stage of Foundation Establishment.
More than 40 years have passed. This demon genius with earthly roots has advanced to the Danjie stage and rescued Xiang Jinglong at the border of Liang Kingdom.
"Liang Shaotian, Li Hai, Xiang Jinglong..."
Thinking that these people might get together, Lu Changan couldn't help but feel weird.
"Regarding this matter, you should not publicize it to the outside world."
Song Wenshu instructed.
The failure to apprehend Xiang Jinglong, and the provocative intervention of the remnants of the Demon Cult, damaged the prestige of Lihuo Palace.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Song, we are not talkative people."
Ye Fei solemnly promised.
Everyone present understood that this matter was not a secret at all from the upper levels and could not be kept secret for long.
The news about the remnants of the demon sect gave Lu Changan a sign of a stormy and troubled future.
Back then, Liang Shaotian wanted to revive the Xuanyin Demon Sect and establish a secret stronghold, but the sects jointly destroyed it and ended in failure.
The outcome of all this was what Lu Changan had expected.
Before this, he had always been unfavorable to Liang Shaotian.
The main reason is that the situation in the Immortal Cultivating World of Liang State and even the surrounding Immortal Cultivating Countries decades ago was very stable.
There is no soil for the rise of demonic religion at all.
Even though Liang Shaotian was extremely talented and very lucky, he still couldn't fight against the general trend.
"Now, we are facing troubled times..."
Lu Changan knew that he might have to retract his previous idea of not being optimistic about Liang Shaotian's great revival.
If the war between neighboring countries to cultivate immortals cannot be ended in a short period of time, the remnants of the demon sect in Liang will have an opportunity to rise that has not been seen in hundreds of years.
There was no update on the evening of the 25th, and the plot was stuck. . But I couldn't sleep at night for the past few days, so I wanted to see if I could come up with a chapter of code after midnight. An update will be tomorrow morning if I can. . (Failed to code in the early morning)
