After Master Yinghua left Lin Xiaodong, he continued north and arrived outside the capital city of Changxing.
Changxing City is adjacent to Wenshui in the south. Unlike Shannan Road, it is located in the middle of Dali Kingdom and has four distinct seasons.
It is now the end of winter, and the poplar trees outside the city stretch as far as the eye can see, with dry branches stretching into the blue sky and fallen leaves all over the ground.
The towering city walls were clearly visible in the distance. Master Yinghua stopped and stared, hesitating whether to enter the city and play for a few more days.
Of course she wanted to go back. She couldn't let go of Chen Mengyun and the sect, and she couldn't let villains like Ma Liqun take advantage of them.
But who would have thought that Lin Xiaodong would come to her with a word of comfort, not a word of kindness, and talk about some sect or Shannan Dao.
Master Yinghua was very angry after hearing this. She was almost 200 years old, so she still needed him to talk about these big principles.
She complained in her heart that Lin Xiaodong was not enlightened, and unknowingly, she acted out of a little woman's mind.
It's just that Lin Xiaodong didn't know what she was thinking. When meeting and talking to the Taoist leader, if he didn't talk about the situation in the Taoist sect, how could he still fall in love?
When the cold wind blew, Master Yinghua came back to his senses and walked towards the gate of Changxing City.
Not far away, a few rays of light fell. Master Yinghua frowned and took a closer look. It turned out to be Ma Liqun, Gao Zhengxin, Lu Yuankui and Huang Anyi.
Ma Liqun raised his head and laughed, pointed at Master Yinghua and cursed: "You are a prostitute who is ruining the family. I will come to eliminate the harm for the people today!"
Master Yinghua blushed, flicked his sleeves, glared and shouted, "What did you say?"
Gao Zhengxin pointed at Master Yinghua and grinned fiercely: "Today is the day you die!"
Master Yinghua glanced at Lu Yuankui and asked Ma Liqun: "You actually colluded with people from Anshan Road?"
Ma Liqun said shamelessly: "Lu Yuankui and I have joined forces to get rid of you, a hypocrite!"
Lu Yuankui laughed and said: "Who told you not to allow people from Anshan Road to come to your Shannan Road to collect bellflowers?
For the sake of Anshan Dao Daomen, I will also get rid of you today!"
Master Yinghua understood the interests involved and scolded Ma Liqun through gritted teeth: "You are eating everything inside and outside!"
Ma Liqun's face turned red and white, and he pursed his lips and said: "Don't be so arrogant, I am not your opponent. Someone will deal with you. You are alone today and will die here without anyone noticing!"
Master Yinghua took a deep breath angrily, looked away, and said: "Who said I am a person?
Aren't you coming out yet?"
After her words fell, the air in the open space beside her fluctuated, and Lin Xiaodong appeared out of thin air.
Master Yinghua glanced at Lin Xiaodong, blinked, and lowered his head.
When Ma Liqun saw Lin Xiaodong, he was surprised and asked: "Why are you here?"
Master Yinghua hummed: "Elder Lin is here all the way!"
After hearing this, Ma Liqun scolded: "It is indeed a pair of male thieves and female prostitutes. I thought you came down the mountain because you were too shameless to see people. It turns out that you went elsewhere for a tryst!"
Lin Xiaodong's eyes were filled with fierceness: "You slander me like this, I will take your life today!"
When Lu Yuankui saw Lin Xiaodong, he knew that he could not take advantage. Without saying a word, he waved his sleeve and turned into a white light and slipped away.
Ma Liqun was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Lu Yuankui would sell him out in the blink of an eye. He stamped his feet and wanted to leave.
Lin Xiaodong was about to take action, but Master Yinghua was faster. Yunyan struck out as he wished, hitting Ma Liqun in the back and causing him to fall to the ground.
Master Yinghua stepped forward and said coldly: "You can scold me, but you can collude with Anshan Dao and sell the resources of Shannan Dao, but you can't. Today, I will get rid of you, a treacherous person, for the Shannan Dao Sect!"
Ma Liqun knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Master, have mercy on me! I never dare to do it again!"
Yinghua Zhenren waved his sleeve, and the clouds of smoke fell down as he wished, hitting Ma Liqun in the middle of the door. He was beaten so hard that he fell on his back, his whole body was covered with frost, and he died.
Lin Xiaodong said angrily: "How brave you are to chase me all the way!"
Master Yinghua looked towards the sky and said: "Lu Yuankui is also involved. It seems that he is still determined to be evil."
Lin Xiaodong heard this and hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "Yes, the current situation in Shannan Road is so treacherous that it cannot be separated from the real person!"
Master Yinghua squinted and complained, "Can't you say something else?"
Lin Xiaodong covered his head, said nothing and only blinked.
When Master Yinghua saw him like this, he stamped his feet and turned around to leave.
Lin Xiaodong stretched out his hand towards the back of Master Yinghua: "Master..." Master Yinghua turned back and said with a straight face: "Tell Chen Mengyun that I will go back in a few days."
This tone was completely different from the polite Taoist leader in the past. Without waiting for Lin Xiaodong's reply, he flicked his sleeves and turned into a white light, flying into Changxing City.
Lin Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Master Yinghua had finally changed his mind. He glanced at Ma Liqun's body and the figure disappeared.
On Baotong Mountain, Lin Xiaodong's figure appeared out of thin air and entered the door to find Chen Mengyun.
Seeing Lin Xiaodong coming, Chen Mengyun asked: "How is my teacher?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Your teacher is fine. He is in Changxing City. He said he would be back in a few days."
Chen Mengyun was also relieved: "Great!"
Then, he raised his head tenderly and said sincerely: "Elder Lin, I have worked really hard on you these days."
Lin Xiaodong said lightly: "It doesn't matter, no matter what, this happened because of me."
Before Chen Mengyun could say anything else, Lin Xiaodong left.
A few days later, in the evening, Master Yinghua returned to the mountain as expected.
The disciples all over the mountain cheered and came to the mountain to greet him.
Chen Mengyun was so happy that she cried: "Teacher, you are finally back!"
Master Yinghua touched Chen Mengyun's face lovingly and said, "I have worked hard for you these days. You have done a good job."
Wei Hongyuan said angrily: "Teacher, during the past few days when you were away, people from Liangyiju came to our mountain to cause trouble."
Master Yinghua nodded: "I know everything. Ma Liqun is dead."
Chen Mengyun and others were startled, stared and breathed cold air: "Dead?"
Master Yinghua said gloomily: "Ma Liqun wants to be the leader of the Water Element Sect, and Lu Yuankui wants the bellflowers of our Shannan Road. These two people conspired to kill me. Lu Yuankui ran away, and Ma Liqun has died in my hands."
All the disciples cheered: "Great! This evil thief is finally dead!"
Master Yinghua said to Chen Mengyun: "Let this news go out and say that Ma Liqun colluded with Lu Yuankui and betrayed Shannan Dao, and I have eliminated him."
Chen Mengyun took the order and spread the news of Ma Liqun's death, causing an uproar in Shannan Road.
The crime of colluding with Anshan Road and betraying Shannan Road is indeed well-founded, and he deserves to die.
But Ma Liqun died at this juncture, which inevitably leads people to wonder, is Yinghua avenging his private revenge?
Is it because Ma Liqun threatens Yinghua Zhenren's position in Shannan Road?
Is it because Ma Liqun said something rude?
This news was quite meant to scare the monkeys. Everyone in the Water Element Sect was immediately in danger, and no one dared to gossip about Master Yinghua and Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong persuaded Yinghua to return. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not come to the door again. Since he was far away in Congling, he pretended that the incident did not happen.
