Seeing Liang Yan's reaction, Li Xiran and Bai Qingruo were curious, and also released their spiritual consciousness, through the layers of white clouds, and landed on a small mountain below.
Only the sounds of fighting could be heard faintly in the woods in the mountains, magic weapons and spells collided in the woods, and a powerful sword aura crisscrossed the woods.
"There are people fighting below, and their cultivation levels are not weak!" Bai Qingruo frowned.
"Yes, one of them seems to have formed a formation, but I can't detect it with my spiritual sense!" Li Xiran's face showed a hint of curiosity.
Before the two women could talk to each other, Liang Yan had already flicked his sleeves, lowered his escaping light, and fell into the forest at the heart of the mountain.
After a moment, everyone fell down and got closer. Only then did Li Xiran see clearly that there were five monks in the forest.
Four of them are women, dressed as Taoist nuns, with their hair tied up in a bun and white Taoist robes. Although they are dressed delicately and elegantly, there is an evil spirit between their eyebrows, and they have a feeling that strangers should not approach them.
These four Taoist nuns were all in the early stage of Tongxuan. At this time, they stood in the four directions of east, south, west and north, forming a formation, trapping a young man in the middle.
The young man who was besieged was wearing a set of blue Confucian robes and a moiré-patterned scarf. Although he was not tall, he looked slender.
"Why is it Cang Yueming?"
Seeing this person's appearance, Li Xiran recognized him instantly. After all, he was in the same batch of people who participated in the selection of city disciples in Wushuang City, and Li Xiran also had some impressions of him.
During the fifty years that Liang Yan was in charge of Bihai Palace, Cang Yueming got an opportunity in a secret realm and successfully broke through to the early stage of Tongxuan. Later, he petitioned the master of Yunjin Palace and transferred himself to Bihai Palace. He was already Liang
Yan's subordinates.
Judging from his current cultivation level, he is probably not far from the next bottleneck.
"Those Taoist nuns, if I remember correctly, should be Su Xinzhai, one of the nine major sects. How could they besiege Cang Yueming?" Li Xiran looked at the fierce fight in the forest with some confusion.
"I don't know, let's take a look first and then talk." Liang Yan looked thoughtful.
He had been away from Wushuang Realm for ten years, and when he came back, he encountered this kind of thing, and he was also a little curious in his heart.
In fact, he had a good impression of Cang Yueming. This person was upright and upright, and he inherited the Confucian lineage. Although his behavior was a bit pedantic, his righteousness was still quite admirable.
After Liang Yan pressed the escape light, he landed in the woods. With his current cultivation level, as long as he didn't take the initiative to show up, the monks in the forest wouldn't be able to find him.
At this time, the fighting in the forest has reached an intense level. Cang Yueming's swordsmanship is unique. Mo Xuan's sword is like a brush, splashing ink in mid-air to compose poems, which is indescribably free and unrestrained.
The four Taoist nuns all used orthodox Taoist techniques. The four of them cooperated tacitly, advancing and retreating at the same time. The green light flowed, connecting each other's auras, forming a powerful formation.
Although Cang Yueming was a sword cultivator and his methods were not weak, after all, he was one against four. Under the joint attack of these four monks of the same realm, he was gradually at a disadvantage.
Suddenly, while he was concentrating on the enemy, a Taoist nun behind saw the opportunity, brushed the dust in her hand, and a green light flashed, hitting Cang Yueming's back.
boom!
There was a muffled sound, and Cang Yueming's body-protecting spiritual light spontaneously unfolded, blocking the opponent's blow for him, but he himself was still knocked away by the powerful force and retreated dozens of feet away.
"Do you Su Xinzhai still want to kill people and silence them?!" Cang Yueming's face was slightly pale, but his momentum was not weak, and he scolded sternly.
The four Taoist nuns came from the air and surrounded him again. One of the older Taoist nuns slapped him in the face and said calmly: "My fellow Taoist is a monk from Wushuang City. How can we dare to harm you? I just want to ask you to return to Su."
Xinzhai, drink a cup of tea and cultivate yourself for a few days. After everything is over here, I will send you fellow Taoist back to Wushuang City."
"Drinking tea? To put it nicely, you don't want to put Cang under house arrest to prevent what you have done from spreading!"
When Cang Yueming said this, he snorted coldly and said: "Although Xuanguang Villa is guilty, their sect has been destroyed, and the sect leader and a group of elders have also been executed. The Lord of Linghu City has already issued a strict order. The matter ends here and cannot be continued.
If we investigate further, why do you Su Xin Zhai have to be so aggressive that you slaughter everyone in your house?!"
After listening to Cang Yueming's question, the Taoist nun's expression remained calm, and she only said coldly: "Xuanguan Villa has a deep grudge against us, Su Xinzhai. Now that their sect has been destroyed, aren't we allowed to take revenge?"
"But what's wrong with the Sima family? It's just that some members of the family once studied Taoism under Xuanguang Villa and have been outer disciples for decades. Just because of this, you are going to massacre everyone in the family?"
"Hmph, cutting the grass without eradicating the root will cause harm to the people for thousands of years! You also know what Xuanguang Villa did, and it almost overturned our Wushuang Domain. The Sima Family and Xuanguang Villa have a close relationship. We, Su Xinzhai, are trying to eliminate demons and protect the Tao!
"
The middle-aged Taoist nun had an arrogant expression on her face, and she didn't seem to have any regrets about the massacre.
"Bullshit demon slayers and guardians. In the final analysis, it's just that you have taken a fancy to the spiritual veins of the Sima family and want to take it for yourself, but you find these high-sounding excuses!"
Cang Yueming did not buy the middle-aged Taoist nun's blame at all, but rebuked: "The ancestors of Su Xin Zhai all took it as their own duty to save the world and save people, but it was only passed down to your sect leader Yun Suyi that it became a cold and murderous sect.
, don’t you have any sense of shame?”
"Be bold!"
The middle-aged Taoist nun's eyebrows were raised with an evil look on her face, and she yelled angrily: "How can you call the sect leader by his name? And we, Su Xinzhai, are doing things, and it's not your turn to point fingers at them!"
As soon as she finished speaking, another Taoist nun next to her also said: "Senior sister, there is no need to talk nonsense, give this person some color to tell him to shut up!"
"Okay, let's complete the 'Cloud Clothes Four Symbols Array'!"
The leading middle-aged Taoist nun said no more and gave a sharp shout. The four of them formed a formation at the same time, and their magic power penetrated, creating a white cloud.
The clouds and mist shrouded Cang Yueming in the middle, rolling and flowing erratically. After a moment, four spiritual beasts condensed from the white clouds pounced out and attacked Cang Yueming at the same time.
"So fast!"
This was Cang Yueming's first feeling.
The spiritual beasts that appeared in the clouds and mist were not entities, but evolved from formations. They were extremely fast and had strange traces. Even with Zhenjun Tongxuan's divine sense, it was difficult to capture the location of these "cloud beasts".
Cang Yueming's face was solemn, and she did not dare to neglect. The sword technique in her hand changed, and the Mo Xuan Sword turned from offense to defense, turning into an ink mark, and pointed upwards at the "cloud beast" closest to her.
However, just as his flying sword hit the opponent, he was held down by the claws of the "cloud beast". He could not move forward or retreat. He was actually imprisoned in place.
"how come?!"
Cang Yueming's face changed slightly. Although his Confucian swordsmanship was good at maneuvering, the sharpness of the sword should not be underestimated. Since he advanced to the Tongxuan realm, very few monks of the same level could catch his flying sword.
The "cloud beasts" in the formation formed by the four people in front of them seem to have the magical ability to overcome hardness with softness. Even the flying swords of sword cultivators can be entangled by them!
"'Yunyi Four Symbols Formation'. The monks of Su Xin Zhai are very good at it!"
Seeing that his flying sword was trapped by the opponent, and three "cloud beasts" came out of the formation, Cang Yueming turned pale, secretly thinking that he was no match for these Taoist nuns today, and he might not be able to save those cultivation families.
At this moment, a sword energy suddenly came out from the forest, and gently circled the four "cloud beasts", instantly cutting the magical powers evolved from these formations into powder!
"Who is hiding in the dark and making a sneak attack?"
In the clouds and mist, the Taoist nun's frightened and angry voice came.
But before she could continue to speak, the sword energy was lifted out of thin air, and the surrounding clouds and fog were blown away. The surrounding sky was clear and clear, and there was no longer any smoke or dust.
Plop!
After the clouds and fog dissipated, there were sounds from all around, and the four Taoist nuns from Su Xin Zhai were seen sitting on the ground, with disheveled hair and vomiting blood. They all looked seriously injured.
The leading middle-aged Taoist nun looked horrified. She struggled to stand up despite her injuries. She looked around, raised her hands and said, "Master, why do you want to interfere with our Su Xin Zhai affairs? Can you show up to see me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in gray clothes walked out of the woods.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged Taoist nun looked wary.
When there was a Taoist discussion on Cangnan Mountain, these four Taoist nuns were ordered to guard the sect's home base in Su Xinzhai. They did not follow them to Cangnan Mountain, so they did not know Liang Yan.
But Cang Yueming recognized the person at a glance, with surprise and excitement in his eyes.
"Palace Master Liang!"
"Palace Master Liang?" Hearing Cang Yueming's address, the middle-aged Taoist nun frowned, as if remembering something, and said suddenly: "So you are the newly promoted palace master of Bihai Palace in Wushuang City?"
"That's right." Liang Yan nodded and said calmly.
The middle-aged Taoist nun confirmed his identity, with a trace of imperceptible disdain flashing in her eyes, but she concealed her expression quite well. She nodded and said loudly: "I am Su Xinzhai Lin Cuiyu. I have seen Bihai Palace."
Palace Master! I don’t know if it’s the Palace Master who’s arrived, but I’m not expecting you from afar, but I’m looking forward to Haihan!”
Although her words were polite, Liang Yan could tell that she didn't have much respect in her heart, and instead was a little contemptuous of him.
In fact, there is a reason for this. You must know that sixty years ago, Liang Yan took the position of the Palace Master of Bihai Palace with his cultivation in the middle stage of Tongxuan. It was entirely due to the support of Linghu Bai, but his own strength was hard to convince.
Public.
Moreover, when Liang Yan was discussing Taoism in Cangnan Mountain, he absorbed the fortune of the eight major sects. Although the eight major sects did not dare to do anything to him afterwards due to Linghu Bai's majesty, the disciples in the sect all held grudges in their hearts, and they were always there in private.
I want to make fun of the youngest "Palace Master" of Bihai Palace in history.
If any of the palace masters from the other four palaces came here, Lin Cuiyu would be obedient and would not even dare to show off. But only the palace master of Bihai Palace, in her eyes, is just a monk of the same generation who has a slightly higher level of cultivation than herself.
That's all, there isn't much respect at all.
Liang Yan had a clear mind and could probably guess some of Lin Cuiyu's thoughts, but he didn't care and just said lightly: "Lin Cuiyu, why did you attack my monks in Wushuang City?"
"This" Lin Cuiyu showed hesitation on his face, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Cang Yueming has interfered in the private affairs of our sect. Sect Master Yun has an order and wants to invite Cang Yueming to return to the sect to find out the situation."
After Liang Yan heard this, he raised his brows and showed a look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
"Oh? Yun Suyi is so powerful that even people from my Wushuang City dare to take her?"
Unlike Cang Yueming, he is the Palace Master of Bihai Palace. Although he is not mature enough, he can still call Yun Suyi by his real name. Lin Cuiyu did not feel disgusted after hearing this, but just explained: "Palace Master Liang does not know something, this matter involves us
The sect's grievances are not within the jurisdiction of Wushuang City. Please follow me back to the sect, fellow Taoist Cang. If it is found that this matter has nothing to do with him, we Su Xinzhai will definitely send him back to Wushuang City unscathed.
Come to apologize”
"Palace Master Liang!"
Before Lin Cuiyu could finish her words, Cang Yueming interrupted her: "Don't listen to her nonsense. Su Xinzhai violated the city lord's order and secretly attacked several major cultivation families under the pretext of revenge on the Xuanguang Villa.
Stealing their resources. Among them, the Sima family was slaughtered overnight, but Su Xinzhai didn't know how to stop, and now he pointed the butcher knife at the Wei family and the Zhu family here. It was because I received the Zhu family's message for help,
I wanted to go back to Wushuang City to report the matter, but they sent someone to stop me."
Cang Yueming finished speaking in one breath, giving Liang Yan a general understanding of the whole matter.
In fact, he doesn't care about the rights and wrongs of these so-called sect grievances, but the point is, according to the information revealed in Cang Yueming's words, Su Xinzhai seems to have violated Linghu Bai's city master's order!
As the palace lord of the Bihai Palace in Wushuang City, I couldn't sit back and watch when I knew someone was violating the city lord's order.
"What exactly is going on? Please tell me in detail." Liang Yan sent a message to Cang Yueming.
After hearing this, Cang Yueming did not hesitate and immediately told Liang Yan the situation of Wushuang Domain in recent years.
Back then, during the discussion on Taoism in Cangnan Mountain, Xuanguang Villa colluded with foreign enemies and was suppressed by Linghu Bai. The sect leader and seven elders were beaten to death by him, and the remaining disciples were all scattered. From then on, there was no such sect as Xuanguang Villa in the Wushuang Domain.
The nine major sects also became eight major sects.
Afterwards, the major forces divided up the resources of Xuanguan Villa, Wushuang City took half, and the eight major factions divided up the remaining half.
In order to stabilize the situation in the Wushuang Domain and prevent the matter from spreading further, Linghu Bai issued an order. The matter ended here. Even if there were fish that slipped through the net or families or sects close to Xuanguang Villa, they were not allowed to take action against them again.
Originally, this matter would have ended here, but Su Xinzhai was not satisfied with what he had already obtained, and turned his attention to several major cultivation families that had good relations with Xuanguang Villa, hoping to take this opportunity to get it from them.
In order to plunder resources, the Sima family was massacred.
"I see. Since you have violated the city lord's order, you guys should come back to Wushuang City with me to apologize."
Liang Yan's face was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. He just reached out and grabbed the air, and a white light came out, drawing Lin Cuiyu and four others in front of him.
