They can be shameless, but City Lord Tang still wants it. Seeing an old friend flattering him like this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Cough, cough, I didn't know that Master Gu's alchemy skills were so good before. I'm so ignorant and careless, so I hope you can forgive me.
The old man has prepared a banquet. If Master Gu doesn't mind, please come to my city lord's mansion to have a chat." City lord Tang said to Gu Qingxi sincerely.
"Then I'm sorry." This city lord was quite upright. Gu Qingxi had a good impression of him and nodded.
Under the admiring gaze of everyone in the audience, Gu Qingxi, Xiao Fangqing, Xie Fuzhi and others followed City Lord Tang towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Among the crowd, an old man looked at their departing figures with a pale face. He was Ke Mingjian, the leader of the Taiyi Sect.
He also knew that Taiyi Zong was despised to avenge his kindness, so in order to avoid public anger, he did not appear next to Wei Jide and others.
I thought that Sun Tingxuan was sure of victory, so he had already arranged the manpower in private, thinking that if the Shendan Pavilion refused to withdraw from Fenglan City, he would directly take action and completely break up with the Pianyun Sect.
But what he never expected was that Sun Tingxuan actually lost.
In other words, it was not the Shendan Pavilion that finally left Fenglan City, but the Jade Danfang.
This also means that many years of planning have come to nothing, and all the hard work that Taiyizong has invested in Jade Pill Workshop over the years has been completely wiped out.
"Gu Qingxi, Gu Qingxi!" Ke Mingjian looked at the young and graceful figure from a distance, gnashing his teeth and whispering to himself, his fists clenching.
"Sir Sect Master, this damn girl dares to ruin our sect's plan, do you want me?" Next to her, an old man with a cruel face raised his palm and made a downward gesture.
Ke Mingjian narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a fierce murderous intention.
"Don't be reckless. Although Tang Huaili's cultivation level is not high, Fenglan City has been friends with major sects and families for many years, and Qiu Changtian and others are here. Fenglan City still needs help from Gu Qingxi.
If we act rashly, we will definitely cause public outrage and the losses will outweigh the gains. Even if we want to act, we must not do it in Fenglan City, and we cannot do it in the near future." Another old man said with a gloomy face.
"That's right, a small impatience will ruin a big plan. Let her live for a while first, and then take action after a while." Ke Mingjian took a deep breath and said, loosening his clenched fists, but there was no murderous intent in his eyes.
A little bit of change.
At the same time, in an ancient and majestic palace, three old men whose bodies were engraved with runes were arranging spiritual stones and controlling the formation. The formation was ten feet in diameter, and complex and dense runes covered the entire hall.
As the light patterns of the formation rippled, a spiritual energy that was completely different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged from all directions, slowly rotating and condensing, forming a vague spiritual bead.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy stagnated for a moment, and the condensing spiritual beads also stopped.
The expressions of the three old men changed slightly, and they stared at the spirit bead.
Soon, the spiritual energy began to flow again, spinning and condensing into spiritual beads.
"High Priest, what happened just now?" the slightly younger old man asked hesitantly.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." The old man known as the high priest remained silent, and another old man guessed.
"Do you want to report this to the Lord God?" the former asked.
"The Lord God is currently in retreat, so don't disturb him yet.
If there are still any abnormalities, it's not too late to report it." The high priest pondered for a moment and said.
The three of them continued to operate the formation, but none of them noticed that the incoming spiritual energy was a bit weaker than before, and the condensing spiritual bead was also weaker than before.
The front is a little bleak.
In the elegant living room of the Lord's Mansion of Fenglan City, the faint fragrance of green tea wafts out.
Gu Qingxi sipped the spirit tea in small sips and finally had a moment of peace.
On the way here, Elder Qiu and others were greeted with all kinds of compliments and all kinds of intimacy. To be more precise, they were all flattering and flattering in different ways, just like a thousand ducks quacking in their ears.
, which annoyed her so much that she almost ran away.
"Fellow Taoists, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse." After drinking a cup of spiritual tea, seeing Elder Qiu and others preparing to speak again, Gu Qingxi asked proactively.
"Master Gu, this is a bit strange. We can't explain it. It's best for you to see it yourself." Elder Qiu, Wan Xiangzhen and others looked at each other and said seriously.
"Then let's go." Gu Qingxi stood up.
When it came to business, City Lord Tang stopped being polite and led a few people to a courtyard behind the City Lord's Mansion.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the courtyard, Gu Qingxi felt a faint sense of coldness.
Pushing open the courtyard door, I saw hundreds of young monks lying flat on bamboo couches in the spacious courtyard, their faces blue and gray, their bodies motionless, like cold corpses.
It was dusk, and the afterglow on the horizon was not yet gone, but the yard was full of gloom.
If it weren't for Gu Qingxi's powerful spiritual consciousness and the fact that there was still a glimmer of hope left in these people, he would have almost suspected that he was not walking into the city lord's mansion, but the Yizhuang after the great disaster.
"Elder Qiu, what's going on?" Sun Tingxuan turned his head and asked in surprise.
"This is what we call weird. Since three months ago, some of our disciples have been experiencing strange behaviors one after another. First, their spiritual power dissipated, then they became weak, then they convulsed and fell into coma, and finally ended up like this.< br>
We had previously invited many famous doctors to take a look at alchemy. Some said it was because of obsession, some said it was poisoning, and some said it was evil energy entering the body. However, it was all speculation, and there was no final conclusion and no way to treat it.
Law." Elder Qiu said worriedly.
"Why haven't I heard the news?" Sun Tingxuan was even more surprised.
Although the sects and aristocratic families present here do not have a long history and their heritage is not as good as those of the time-honored sects and aristocratic families, they have risen rapidly in recent years and are at their peak.
If something like this happens to a young junior, there should be some rumors, but he really hasn't heard any rumors.
"These juniors are all core disciples of our various sects and families, and some of them are young sect masters and young family masters. How dare we let out the slightest bit of news." Elder Qiu said with a wry smile.
Only then did Sun Tingxuan realize that the sects and aristocratic families present had risen too fast and their foundations would inevitably be unstable.
If news spreads that the young masters and core disciples of various families have encountered unexpected events, it is likely that other sects and aristocratic families will join forces to suppress them.
It was also because of this reason that they didn't ask for help from him at the beginning. Alchemy Saint's goal was too big, and it was easier for him to fall into the eyes of someone who was interested.
It would be good if he could cure these young disciples, but if he could not, these sects and families would be in big trouble.
"Master Gu, Sun Dansheng, this matter is related to the rise and fall of each of our sects and families.
As long as you two can help us get through this calamity, we will do anything we are told." Elder Qiu said.
Gu Qingxi nodded and walked directly into the courtyard without saying anything else.
If something happened to just one sect or aristocratic family, it might be a coincidence, but with so many sects and aristocratic families having an incident happen at the same time, she would never believe it was an accident, let alone a coincidence.
