The pottery pot frowned, but the smile on his face remained, but a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes. And the pottery pot was even more angry, with veins popping out on his face.
“It turns out it’s really fellow Taoist Zhuang.”
After all, Tao Hu had a deep understanding of the city, and he gave Zhuang Wudao a clasped fist salute without any unusual expression: "Since Taoist friend is here for Elder Lian Xiao on the orders of Master Li Chen, Tao Hu naturally knows everything he knows and talks about everything. It's just that he has nothing to say.
For the last sentence, please forgive Tao Hu for being confused. How can we start explaining that Elder Lian Xiao is missing and has nothing to do with me, Beining?"
"Does it matter? It's not you who has the final say about what happened to Senior Brother Lian Xiao. How dare you say that Beining has no responsibility?"
Zhuang Wudao had cold eyes and an unruly demeanor. Facing these two powerful men, he looked down at them with disdain. Although Tao Jin was filled with shame and anger, he did not dare to say a word.
This is a real use of power to bully others. The Lichen sect is a large one, and although the Beining Tao sect controls a country, it is insignificant in front of the entire sect of Lichen.
"this--"
Tao Hu's face was ashen. It was known that Zhuang Wudao's good people would not come, and those who came were not good. "Fellow Taoist Zhuang, why don't you go into the royal city to have a chat and let me, Tao Hu, serve you a cup of tea? Tao Hu, you may not know, but I have sixty children in the Tao family."
The rest of the people practiced Taoism in the Lichen Sect, most of them were under the Huangjifeng sect, and there were also two or three people. Mao was a disciple of Xuanling Mountain. Several elders of the Guizong Daoquan and Lifa were also close friends with Tao.
It was not only because he was concerned about his face, but also because he did not want to be humiliated by Zhuang Wudao in public. It was also to remind Zhuang Wudao that Beining had been established in the south of the Zangxuan River for thousands of years, and it was not without roots in the Lichen Sect.
Zhuang Wudao didn't care, and his tone was still stiff: "There's no need to talk here. It's just the same useless nonsense. You can also say less. I just hope that you can say everything you know and say, and you can really do it."
Without waiting for Tao Hu to answer, Zhuang Wudao continued: "First question, there is a battle between Jindan monks on the Zangxuan River in the north. Do you two know about it?"
"informed"
Tao Hu looked deeply at Zhuang Wudao, as if he wanted to keep this son firmly in his heart.
"It's not far from Ningjing. Both of us can sense it. It's right here -"
"Noisy, I just want to ask if you know anything."
Zhuang Wudao waved his sleeves slightly: "Second question, why didn't you two save me? I heard someone said that when you two set off, there had already been a fierce battle over there for half a moment."
Tao Hu's eyes narrowed slightly and his expression became cold. He no longer expected to be able to marry this rising star of the Li Chen Sect.
"At that time, the two of us were in retreat studying a Tongshen Kung Fu method. It was not easy to complete the technique, and it probably took a while.
"oh?"
Zhuang Wudao did not comment, and looked intently at the expressions of the two people, especially Tao Jin: "Senior brother Lian Xiao stayed in Beining for three months before the accident. What are you investigating? It's impossible for you two to know?"
Both the potters and the potters looked solemn and hesitant, but the former replied: "It's because of the demonic cultivator. Elder Lian Xiao seems to have found a clue in our Beining territory, and suspects that there may be demonic cultivators lurking in the cities of Beining. But among them
Neither of us knows the exact details."
"Since I know everything, I know that my senior brother's accident was related to the demonic cultivator. Why didn't you go inside the country to investigate the traces of the demonic cultivator afterward?"
"How do you know I haven't checked it?"
Tao Jin snorted coldly, but couldn't help it anymore and protested loudly: "After that, all the cities in Beining were closed for ten days."
But seeing Zhuang Wudao's sarcastic and playful look on his face, Tao Jin felt guilty for a while. He knew that it was just sealing off the city, which was of no use to demon cultivators. Such a movement was not even a drizzle.
The pottery pot made a sound as he coughed: "Beining built a country based on commerce. If we disturb the people too much, our strength in Beining will be greatly damaged. We are also afraid that the dog will jump over the wall and endanger Lian Xiao's life. Therefore, we both think that we should not make too much noise or make too much noise. But these
For days, the two of us have been trying our best to find out, and we have almost used all the monks in Beining to investigate secretly, and we also asked fellow Taoist Zhuang to give us some insight."
"Really?"
Zhuang Wudao gave a cold look on his face: "But my senior brother Lian Xiao once left a message at the door, saying that you two may have colluded with demon cultivators. There are dozens of countries on both sides of the Zangxuan River that are affected by demons.
The disaster invaded. Senior Brother Lian Xiao only stayed in Beining. Is it for no reason? In my opinion, it is possible that the two of you joined forces with the demon cultivators and failed to cover up the incident after it happened, and jointly planned to attack my senior brother?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Tao Hu Tao Jin's expression changed drastically, and his eyes showed a look of panic. In the royal city, the thoughts of the foundation building monks who were watching here were also shaken.
"Why did Fellow Taoist Zhuang say this?"
Tao Hu bowed deeply and said solemnly: "If Taoist friend has conclusive evidence, there is no need for the Lichen Sect to take action. I, Tao Hu, committed suicide myself. But if it is just speculation, please take back this sentence, Tao Hu, don't do it."
It is a disgrace to the good reputation of our Tao family in Beining."
"I will investigate this matter in detail. Whether it is true or not, I will see for myself in the future."
Zhuang Wudao secretly laughed at himself in his heart, colluding with the demon cultivator, this can be regarded as a thief crying to catch the thief. He, Zhuang Wudao, is the real demon cultivator.
"However, at the moment, the top priority is to find people. After Senior Brother Lian Xiao's failure, I am very dissatisfied with the measures taken in Beining. From today on, all the cities in the thirteen states of Beining will be sealed off for half a year.
Monks are not allowed to enter the country without being interrogated and tested for their true essence. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy. The waterway of the Zangxuan River is prohibited, and all ships must be randomly inspected before they can cross the border."
Tao Hu was stunned and wanted to say something else, but Zhuang Wudao looked over: "Lichen Sect is short of manpower. This matter requires your cooperation in Beining. This can be regarded as making amends for past mistakes."
Tao Hu was so angry that he didn't agree at all. He still tried to redeem himself and said: "I would also like to ask fellow Taoist Zhuang to think twice about how March is too long. Not only I, Beining Country, can't bear it, but the merchants below can also do the same. Can you please consider it at your discretion -
"Which one is more serious, the survival of your country in Beining, or the evil disasters in the north and south of the Zangxuan River? Senior Brother Lian Xiao's whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown. In the eyes of Brother Tao, is he not as good as some businessmen's property?"
Seeing that Tao Hu's vitality was slightly stagnant, Zhuang Wudao waved his sleeves in an extremely overbearing manner: "This matter has been settled, there is no room for you to bargain. I will sit in the Beining Gym to supervise this matter. If so, you Beining
If there is even the slightest excuse and disobedience, if there is any violation of the law, Zhuang will definitely report it to the sect and be severely punished."
As if he was too lazy to talk to these two people anymore, Zhuang Wudao turned around and flew up. But before leaving, Zhuang Wudao sneered again and said in a long voice: "My senior brother's disappearance is the best thing to do.
Don’t let me find out that you are related to your Tao family. Otherwise, I, Zhuang, will kill your whole Tao family and leave no one alive.”
After those words were spoken, Zhuang Wudao no longer lingered and headed straight towards the Ningjing Taoist Hall of the Lichen Sect, Eun Kong Xing.
Seeing Zhuang Wudao's figure moving away, Tao Hu and Tao Jin looked at each other with shock and anger in their eyes. But at this time, they were more helpless.
Until Zhuang Wudao flew three miles away, Tao Jin thought, and immediately an invisible aura enveloped the two figures. Not only did it isolate everyone's spiritual thoughts, but also completely blocked many sight lines.
"Brother Wang, what do you think of this son's words?"
The real Tao Jin is not as strong, arrogant, impulsive and irritable as he showed before, but now he has a thoughtful look in his eyes and a calm temperament.
"This kid is so weird"
"I'm also a little confused, or maybe I have nowhere to start and all the diseases are treated indiscriminately?"
Tao Hu rubbed his chin, also pondering the truth. If he wanted to catch the traces of those demon cultivators and find Lian Xiao's whereabouts, how could this sealing realm investigation be possible?
"Is there no one left in the Lichen Sect? Lian Xiao is missing, so he actually sent such a young man out? Although he is the first person on the list of outstanding talents, after all, he is not even a golden elixir. His behavior today is really overbearing.
As soon as the blockade order is issued, tens of thousands of monks in our Beining Kingdom will be offended by this village. Most of the casual monks are also complaining. "
"This boy became famous at a young age, and his reputation shook the East China Sea. Not only is he the number one talented person, but he is also the second person in the Lichen Sect to have walked on that heavenly path. Lichen is optimistic about it, and everyone wants to flatter him. He is young and energetic.
, it is inevitable to have an arrogant temperament. However, he is not an incompetent person. Just watching the battle at Wuming Mountain, you can tell that this guy does have some skills."
When Tao Jin said this, he still shook his head with doubts on his face: "Anyway, you and I will just sit back and watch with a cold eye. We will find out what this kid wants to do. One day, the mystery will be revealed."
"The answer to the mystery? I don't think there is any answer. Lian Xiao is at the peak of the Golden Core, but in the end he falls into an unpredictable situation. What can Zhuang Wudao do if he is in the foundation building realm?"
"This man is the proud son of heaven. Master Jiefa dares to let him come with confidence, so he is quite sure."
"I'm not optimistic about him. If it were you and me, how could we make such a big fuss from the beginning? Few people have heard about Lian Xiao's disappearance, but Zhuang Wudao wants everyone to know about it. I think the battle at Wuming Mountain
It may not be what this kid did. Either he succeeded by luck, or someone else intervened behind the scenes."
When he said this, Tao Hu's words were already full of sadness: "Is it really necessary to block the entire Beining area like this?"
"The key is that I, Beining, have no choice at all."
Tao Jin frowned deeply: "It seems that Zhuang Wudao came here alone, but as far as I know, since Lian Xiao's incident, Li Chen has become loose on the outside and tight on the inside. With the enshrinements of other countries around him, there are at least ten people around him.
The seven golden elixirs can be mobilized with just one word from this son. If I, Beining, really go against his wishes, I might be in trouble. Fortunately, Brother Wang has worked hard these years and saved a lot of money in the treasury. He managed to support it for half a year.
It's not a difficult thing.
"That's all."
Tao Hu sighed slightly, his eyes full of doubts: "I just don't understand, this Zhuang Wudao, I heard that he has always kept a low profile in Lichen Mountain, and he has done nothing particularly arrogant and domineering. But why is he targeting me, Beining Tao?
Home, so merciless?"
"Perhaps Fellow Taoist Lian Xiao really suspected that I, Beining, was colluding with the Demon Cultivator when he sent a message to the sect. But as for Lian Xiao's suspicion, brother Wang, didn't you say that it has been dealt with properly?"
Tao Jin looked at the pot with a pale face: "Over there——"
Before he finished speaking, Tao Jin saw Tao Hu shaking his head slightly and remaining silent. Even though Tao Jin used magic to cover this place and banned his spiritual thoughts, it was still not a place for conversation.
