Lu Changan and Shi Manrong were both invited to Huanglong Mountain.
In recent years, Lu Changan has had a good relationship with the Huanglongshan family, at least that's how it seems to outsiders.
Shi Xianzi had worked closely with Huanglongshan before, and even met and talked with Huanglongshan.
The funeral is an important ceremonial event in the world of immortality, especially for Master Jiedan, who has many people coming to pay homage.
If the relationship is still okay, if you don't go, it will look impersonal.
"Man Rong is going to make a trip to purchase resources. The number of people in Huanglong Fairy City has increased dramatically recently, and the auction specifications in the near future will be higher than usual."
"Chang'an can decide on its own. Even if you don't want to go, Huanglongshan will not blame you."
Shi Manrong knew Lu Changan's concerns.
Huang Long’s funeral may have twists and turns.
For example, the enemies in Huanglong Mountain took the opportunity to attack.
If you go by invitation, it feels a bit like "helping out".
However, Lu Changan and Lu Changan are outsiders after all. As long as they don't help Huanglongshan to force their way forward, they won't cause any trouble.
Master Huanglong had a wide network of contacts, and there were many invitees to the funeral, including some monks from the sect, and he had a good relationship with Huanglong Mountain.
"Since Man Rong is going, I might as well go together and take care of each other. However, we need to understand the situation in Huanglong Mountain beforehand."
Lu Changan nodded.
If Shi Manrong didn't want to go, he would probably find an excuse to refuse and go to worship later.
But he was in Wuqi Mountain, where he went to learn from the fairy, and he had received "favor" from Huanglong Mountain, so he didn't even dare to go to a mere funeral, which would make him appear cold-tempered.
If Huang Longshan survives the difficulties, there may be prejudice against him in the future, and the outside world's reputation for him will be greatly reduced.
There are many vassal monks in Wuqi Mountain who are well-informed.
The peak master ordered to go down, and soon someone would send over the compiled information.
"One year before the death of Master Huanglong, it was rumored that he had been bedridden and never left Huanglong Mountain."
"Ji Yifeng, the great disciple of Zhenren Huanglong, has visited Master's old friends and some powerful forces in the past two years, but has received many rejections."
"Half a month ago, the 'Master Sanhu' came to Huanglong Fairy City again. It is suspected that he was hired, which may be detrimental to Huanglong Mountain."
…
While Lu Changan was sorting out information, Wu Qishan received an uninvited guest.
A false elixir-level spiritual pressure descended from the sky filled with dark clouds.
"The peak master of Wuqi Mountain, come out and meet me!"
A fierce-looking bald man in a purple shirt landed between the three main peaks, his voice as deep as a bell.
"Fake Dan real person!"
"He Yuanwu! The fourth disciple of Zhenren Huanglong, why did he go to Wuqi Mountain..."
The vassal monks on Wuqi Mountain were frightened. Facing the menacing Master He, they hid in the corner and did not dare to say a word.
He Yuanwu has a reputation for being vicious and bullying. He is not the kind of person who is easy to deal with.
"I've met Master He."
Lu Changan, Shi Manrong, and Ye Fei, the three peak masters, came out to see the ceremony.
"Which gust of wind blew Master He here? If Master He has any orders, please go to the main peak to discuss them."
Shi Manrong looked dignified and said with a slight smile.
In the past, she cooperated with Huang Longshan and dealt with He Yuanwu.
"No need."
He Yuanwu's eyes scanned the three peak masters lightly, pausing briefly on Shi Manrong and Lu Changan. As for Ye Fei, he was basically ignored.
"He is here to warn you that it is best not to go to Huanglong Mountain to attend the funeral. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
This sentence is a sound transmission.
The tone was domineering, with no hidden warning or threat.
Hearing this, Shi Manrong's expression changed, but he did not dare to disobey directly.
"He Yuanwu is a good man."
Lu Changan was overjoyed.
He didn't particularly want to join in the fun at Huanglong Mountain, it was better to do less than to do more.
But I can't find a reasonable excuse.
At this moment, He Yuanwu came to threaten him, which was exactly what Lu Changan wanted.
"I dare to ask Master He, is it possible that something unexpected will happen to Huanglong Mountain?"
Lu Changan raised his hands and asked respectfully.
He had also dealt with He Yuanwu before, to be precise, he had fought against him.
However, he was Junior Brother Cheng at that time.
On the surface, it was the first time for Lu Changan and He Yuanwu to deal with each other.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, don't ask any more questions!"
He Yuanwu glanced at Lu Changan coldly, and his figure flew away with a gust of black wind and flying sand.
…
Send this evil spirit away.
The three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain looked ugly.
The three of them had a small gathering at Xiaogui Peak and were dissatisfied with He Yuanwu's behavior.
"For more than ten years after Fu Xuemei formed the elixir, He Yuanwu kept his tail between his legs and did not dare to come to the Huanglong Mountain area. Now, after the death of Master Huanglong, he has jumped out unscrupulously."
Shi Manrong had a sarcastic look on his face.
"As a traitor to Huanglong Mountain, he is probably more afraid of the development of Huanglong Mountain led by Fu Xuemei than other forces."
It is not difficult for Lu Changan to imagine that he and Master Xianzi were not the only monks that He Yuanwu secretly tried to obstruct.
The monks targeted were probably casual cultivators.
"Fairy Master, we might as well wait until the situation stabilizes and we can pay homage in the future."
Lu Changan transmitted the message.
"That's all."
Master Shixianzi sighed, and did not dare to antagonize the real person He Yuanwu. If he was resented, the consequences would be unpredictable.
On the same day, Lu Changan sent a letter to Huanglongshan to express his condolences.
He claimed that he was threatened by a certain fake alchemist and would not dare to go to Huanglong Mountain in the short term.
Doing it this way is in line with his character and hard to find fault with.
The relationship between Lu Changan and Huang Longshan has only improved in recent years, and there is no real friendship or interest.
The world of cultivating immortals is in a hot and cold state.
Lu Changfang was born in a foreign country, he didn't add insult to injury, and he was already better than many monks.
…
Ten days later.
Shocking news came from Huanglong Fairy City.
Lu Changan opened a letter from Zheng Centipede, his face was moved, and his mood was slightly ups and downs.
According to the letter, the number of monks from all walks of life who came to attend the funeral of Master Huang Long was less than one-third of the number expected.
Among them, only two Master Jie Dan came, and less than ten Master Fake Dan came.
With the hundreds of years of connections that Master Huang Long had, the high-level monks only came so far, which was beyond Lu Changan's expectation.
That's all.
At the funeral, there was another detail that made people think deeply.
None of the major sects in the Liang Kingdom sent any high-level monks to express their condolences.
Lihuo Palace only sent a foundation-building monk to attend the funeral.
For other sects, at most one fake elixir representative will come.
"The Huanglong Mountain line is over!"
Halfway through the letter, Lu Changan felt awe-struck and had already guessed the subsequent development of the matter.
The reality is more cruel than expected.
As stated in the letter.
Before his death, Master Huanglong made arrangements for his funeral and took the initiative to give up a considerable part of the interests of Huanglong Fairy City.
The various forces in Huanglong Immortal City should have no objections.
After all, there is still a real person in Huanglong Mountain, and the Earth Dragon Beast also retains its strength at the early stage of the third level.
If you can make money by being harmonious, you will get benefits for free, and no one is willing to fight with each other.
However.
In the second half of the funeral, the former hostile forces in Huanglong Mountain, mostly those with personal grievances, launched a collective attack.
Without the protection of the sect's senior leaders, the Huanglong Mountain lineage was isolated and helpless, facing two or three times the number of enemies.
Among the monks who came to attend the funeral, only a few were willing to fight to the death. Most of them saw that the situation was not right and took the opportunity to leave.
"Ji Yifeng, the great disciple of Master Huanglong, used his secret technique in a chaotic battle, dragging down several fake elixir masters, and died of overdraft..."
"The Earth Dragon Beast tried its best to block the real person in the middle stage of the pill formation. His life and death are unknown. There are also rumors that he was killed by the real person's magic weapon."
"Under the best cover of the Huanglong Mountain group, Fu Xuemei was seriously injured and escaped from the Huanglong Immortal City. Her whereabouts are unknown. The hostile monks did not form an organized pursuit."
"At dawn the next day, the law enforcement monks from Lihuo Palace arrived. They upheld justice, were responsible for mediation, and temporarily 'taken over' Huanglong Mountain to maintain order in Huanglong Fairy City and eradicate the evildoers and looters."
…
"Lihuo Palace came just in time."
After reading the letter, Lu Changan felt as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.
Huanglongshan is willing to give up his interests, and in ordinary times, everything can be peaceful.
However, the Liang Zongmen expedition failed and suffered heavy losses.
Especially the Lihuo Palace suffered the greatest losses.
The interests of Huanglong Mountain may not be valued by the sect in its heyday, or there is no need for it to affect its reputation.
Now, by eating this piece of meat, the "injured body" of Lihuo Palace can also replenish a mouthful of blood.
The only good news is.
As the supreme ruler of the Liang Kingdom's immortal world, Lihuo Palace still wanted to have a little face and did not end up personally.
As long as the sect shows an attitude and sits idly by, Huanglong Mountain will fall into isolation, and some people will take advantage of it.
Of course, Huanglong Mountain has made too many enemies during its past centuries of strength and prosperity, and now it is facing backlash, which is also an important reason.
The next night, the cave in Xiaopanfeng.
Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi had just finished communicating,
"Why are you here again?"
He gently caressed a section of the snowy and smooth back with his palm, and suddenly frowned slightly.
At this moment, a familiar aura of fake elixir real people quickly broke into Wu Qi Mountain.
"Master He! How can you break into the main peak without permission!"
Ye Fei's shocked and angry voice came.
There was a roar, and Xiao Danfeng's formation had not yet reached its peak, but was violently broken by a punch filled with the power of He Yuanwu's Dan.
"He Yuanwu, stop!"
By the time Lu Changan and Shi Manrong got dressed and rushed to the scene, it was already too late.
Ye Fei was lifted up in the air like a chicken by He Yuanwu.
"Master He, why do you want to capture Ye Fei?"
Facing the powerful He Yuanwu, Lu Changan and Shi Manrong did not dare to get too close and kept their distance in negotiations.
"I have no intention of killing Medicine Master Ye, I just took him away temporarily for a few days."
He Yuanwu said calmly and had no intention of taking action against Lu Changan and the other two.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong are stronger, and the cave has a quasi-third-level formation, making it much more difficult to attack.
"Why, it's me again..."
Ye Fei was restrained, with a bitter expression on his face.
In Xiaodanfeng, similar situations have not happened once or twice.
"Master He, can you tell me the reason for doing this?"
Lu Changan always felt that He Yuanwu had some intention in doing this.
"Nothing to do with you."
He Yuanwu didn't want to explain, so he left a message before leaving:
"Wu Qishan had better not take in any outsiders during these two days, especially those who are seriously injured."
After saying that, he stepped on the light and quickly left Wuqi Mountain.
Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi looked at each other, looking helpless.
"Is there something wrong with Xiaodanfeng's feng shui?"
Lu Changan observed the terrain, thinking about what happened in the past, his expression looked strange.
As for Ye Fei, what he can do is let the rock rat remember his personal scent and think of a solution later.
He Yuanwu wanted to continue to live in the Liang Kingdom so that he would not take Ye Fei away openly and murder his life afterwards.
Judging from his experience and intuition, Ye Fei should not be in danger of his life. At most, he would lose money or suffer a little pain.
In order to analyze the reasons.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong came to Xiaodanfeng to check the situation at the scene.
The update on the 13th will be very late, but you can watch it the next morning. (It will most likely be postponed to daytime)
