Ye Fei invited the two peak masters Lu Changan and Shi Manrong to the cave to have a drink and talk.
"Haha, it's so satisfying! The 'Master Xiang' who came to Wu Qi Mountain back then to show off his power is now on the wanted list of Lihuo Palace."
Ye Fei was in a happy mood and drank wine to celebrate.
"Are you talking about Xiang Jinglong?"
Lu Changan was startled for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, but it wasn't acting.
More than half a month after returning from Chishuifang City, everything was calm. There was no abnormal reaction from Lihuo Palace, and monks such as Song Wenshu had not come to Wuqi Mountain to investigate.
In order to avoid suspicion, he would not deliberately inquire about it.
Only then did we learn the relevant news.
"That's right! It's Xiang Jinglong! His name is already on the wanted list for the Lihuo Palace sect's mission."
Ye Fei's face turned red and he said firmly.
Back then, Xiang Jinglong came to Xiaodanfeng to eat the King's meal, and he ate for free, which made Ye Fei suffer a lot. It is definitely unrealistic to say that he does not hold any grudges.
"Xiang Jinglong, as a fake elixir master, has committed something and is wanted by Lihuo Palace?"
Shi Manrong said in surprise.
"It is said that this person secretly worked as a robbery cultivator in the past years and did a lot of bullying, murder and treasure grabbing. Among the victims were relatives, friends and descendants of the Lihuo Palace monks. Several cases accumulated and had a bad impact, causing the Lihuo Palace Law Enforcement Hall to
of attention..."
Ye Fei explained the reason.
"Xiang Jinglong is quite famous among casual cultivators and has a bad reputation. This person has become a wanted criminal. I believe many cultivators will applaud him."
Shi Xianzi pursed her lips and smiled, feeling very happy, but she didn't think much about it.
Learn the reason why Xiang Jinglong is wanted.
Lu Changan's eyes flashed slightly, he probably guessed the truth, and felt funny in his heart.
On that day, Xiang Jinglong took action near Chishuifang City without revealing his identity, including the identifiable magic weapon and skill characteristics.
This person even called himself "He" in an attempt to confuse the situation.
As a result, the pot was still not thrown away.
…
As the No. 1 sect in the immortal cultivation world of the Liang Kingdom, Lihuo Palace is a Nascent Soul-level force, and its intelligence network and tracking capabilities are beyond the imagination of ordinary monks.
Even though Xiang Jinglong acted cautiously, he did not reveal any obvious flaws.
But as long as you stay in Chishuifang City for a period of time and leave some traces, you may be investigated by Lihuo Palace, and conclusions can be drawn through analysis.
Of course, Xiang Jinglong is wanted for "old things" he committed in the past.
Only Lu Changan knew that the real reason was that Senior Brother Zhuo's death had caused displeasure among the senior management of Lihuo Palace and they decided to punish him.
Lu Changan has experienced several lives, and this is not the first time he has seen something like this happen.
At certain times, the upper-level forces suddenly took action to punish the "villains", seemingly to eliminate harm for the majority of lower-level monks, and won widespread praise.
In fact, the truth may be that the villains offended the big shots at the top.
Or it may be the result of a game at the top, which decided to target the "villain", find a breakthrough among his past crimes and accusers, convict him, and then implicate the opponent at the top.
The starting point is top-down.
Instead of working from the bottom up, we truly advocate for the victims of the lower-level monks.
Otherwise, Xiang Jinglong, a monk with evil deeds wandering in the gray area, would not be wanted by Lihuo Palace until today.
In the Liang Kingdom’s world of immortality, there is an unspoken rule:
As long as a real-life strong person has not committed a major crime or left behind irrefutable evidence, the sect will not easily arrest him.
After all, a real person is not that easy to find and may cause backlash.
"This Master Xiang probably doesn't know the truth about why he is wanted."
Returning to Xiaogui Peak, Lu Changan looked happy and chuckled.
It’s not that Xiang Jinglong is stupid.
It's that he doesn't know Senior Brother Zhuo's identity or the inside story at all.
You don't even know who you offended.
…
The next few months.
Lu Changan silently paid attention to the situation of Zhenren Xiang being wanted, but he could not show his concern deliberately.
In the meantime, there were various versions of rumors.
Some people say that Xiang Jinglong was seriously injured by the monks of the sect.
Some people also say that Xiang Zhenren concealed his name and hid in the mortal world, or even fled to a neighboring country.
Judging from the rumors alone, Lihuo Palace’s wanted status for Xiang Jinglong is not small.
Until a few days after Lu Changan turned one hundred and twenty-nine years old.
Song Wenshu visited Wuqishan and brought precise news.
Song Wenshu did not come alone.
Next to him was an old man in robes who was as skinny as a stick and had dull eyes.
"Lin...Fellow Daoist Lin?"
"Master Lin?"
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong were surprised. They looked at the old man in robes and recognized his identity from the outline of his face and the dark red spots.
This person is Alchemist Lin Ye, the previous peak master of Xiaodan Peak.
Lu Changan made a brief observation and found that Lin Ye's cultivation had dropped to the early stage of foundation building. His body was damaged, he seemed to have been tortured, and his mind was in a trance.
All in all, it has been more than twenty years since Alchemist Lin Ye left Wuqi Mountain, and he has not been heard from since.
At that time, Master Lin said that he was returning to his hometown to take care of himself.
This situation may have drawn a clear line with the world of immortality, so Lu Changan and Shi Manrong did not explore this matter.
This is the case in the world of immortality. Over the long years, you will encounter countless passers-by.
Even a long-lived person cannot understand the fate and final destination of everyone he knows.
"Lu...fellow Taoist...teacher...teacher Xianzi."
Lin Ye forced a smile on his face, a bit of a giggle, and spoke hesitantly.
"Fellow Daoist Lin was imprisoned by Xiang Jinglong for more than 20 years. He made 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, sighing 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 every brick, tile, plant and tree here.
"Fellow Daoist Song, has your palace captured Xiang Jinglong?"
Lu Changan said in a deep voice.
From the standpoint 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 very difficult to catch a fake elixir master.
But as the ruler of the Liang Kingdom's immortal world, Lihuo Palace insists on the death of a fake elixir monk, and 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 not considered a secret in the sect circles."
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 advanced to the Dan-Jie stage decades ago. During the sect's encirclement and suppression campaign, he fought against several real people alone, and then escaped with serious injuries.
This leader of the remnants of the Demon Cult in the Immortal Realm of the Liang Kingdom, although he had been dormant for many years and was rumored to have fled to other countries, he still left a great reputation in the Liang Kingdom.
Liang Shaotian's eldest disciple "Li Hai", although he did not have the same luck as his master, but 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 beyond that of the same level.
Li Hai once made a big fuss in the "Qingming Secret Realm" 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 level in the middle stage of foundation building, he leapfrogged and killed someone in the late stage of foundation building.
More than forty years have passed, and 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 be getting 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 was annihilated by the sects together and ended in failure.
The outcome of all this was what Lu Changan expected.
Before this, he had always been unfavorable to Liang Shaotian.
The main reason is that the situation in the immortal cultivation world of Liang State and even the surrounding immortal cultivation 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 had great luck, he could not 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 night of 25th, and the plot was stuck... But I couldn't sleep at night. I'll see if I can come up with a code chapter in the early morning. If possible, the update will be tomorrow morning. (The code failed in the early morning)
