Ling Huaizi said happily: "Yes, Taoist Xuanjian only has one disciple left, Master Maoshen even his disciple died, and he went back alone. He really deserves it!"
Master Linchong said: "We understand this matter. Even if you go to Princess Jingyang and collude with Xia Yunfeng, it is also a serious crime."
Master Lei Lie snorted coldly: "Didn't Taoist Xuanjian say he was going to see Princess Jingyang?
If he doesn’t go, I will go too!”
The immortals talked about the previous fight, and their interest was high. It was noon, and Master Lei Lie held a banquet in Qingtao Cave, where they drank and talked and dispersed in the afternoon.
Lin Xiaodong said goodbye, and Master Lei Lie, Yu Jianhua, Fairy Miaoming, and Miaoweizi all came to see him off.
Master Lei Lie handed over his hand: "Thank you, Taoist Master Lin, for once again saving our Congling immortals."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Master Maoshen and Master Xuanjian came here for me. Master Maoshen was just implicated, but because I broke into the dragon's pond and tiger's den, Lin is very sorry."
Master Lei Lie waved his hand and said, "Taoist Master Lin is out of touch when he says this. It is a great thing to severely injure Taoist Xuanjian and Xia Yunfeng this time!"
Yu Jianhua also saluted Lin Xiaodong and changed his previous attitude: "Thank you, Master Lin, for saving your life. I have offended many people before, so I hope you won't blame me."
Lin Xiaodong returned the courtesy: "Senior Brother Yu, there is no need to be like this. Please bear with me if I have offended you before."
Fairy Miaoming stepped forward and took Lin Xiaodong's arm: "Thank you for saving my father."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Fairy, you don't have to be polite."
Miaoweizi said blankly: "It's a pity that I didn't go there in person and didn't have the opportunity to see the Taoist teachings of Master Lin."
Lin Xiaodong chuckled: "If the fairy is interested, you can come to my Ding'an Palace for exchanges and discussions someday."
Miaoweizi was overjoyed: "That's great!"
Lin Xiaodong cupped his hands and disappeared on the spot.
Master Maoshen originally thought that by immobilizing his spiritual energy, Lin Xiaodong would lose his magic power.
Who knew he had another trick to create something out of nothing, manifesting magic power directly from nothingness.
Master Maoshen's formations and hard plans were all in vain. In this battle, together with Taoist Xuanjian, Lin Xiaodong and the Congling Immortals were able to retreat completely.
On the other hand, Taoist Xuanjian lost Liang Bao, Xu Han, Yuan Qi, Qiu Sheng, Qin Jun, and He Zhaofang.
The Taoist Immortals of Nandan died: Luo Zhengqing, Qin Shaoguang, Jia Guanfang, Mei Ruoji, Yu Feng, Meng Long, Jiang Wenpu, Ren Cunzi, Lu Wenguang, Huang Xingwei, and Xue Dehai.
The cause of the incident was that Lin Xiaodong was passing by Xia Yunfeng, but Huang Xingwei and Xue Dehai refused to do so.
Master Maoshen was knocked unconscious by Master Lei Lie, and he woke up faintly after a long time. His eyes were dull, he was crying and laughing, and he left Changchang Cave and disappeared without a trace.
Coming here full of ambition and leaving madly is just a conspiracy and you will reap the consequences.
This matter spread among the immortals of Dali Kingdom. At dusk that day, the leader of the immortals of Xinnan Road in Buchan Palace, Zhuang Ruoqing of Xialingdong in Yigu Mountain, summoned his eldest disciple Ma Qin.
Ma Qin saluted and asked, "Teacher, why did you call me?"
Zhuang Ruoqing smiled yinly: "Go and invite Empress Jin Qiong to come and say that I have something important to discuss with you."
Ma Qin was puzzled: "What can the teacher discuss with her?"
Zhuang Ruoqing said: "You just go."
Ma Qin took the order to leave the mountain and came to Luodong, Jianleshan Prefecture.
Empress Jin Qiong saw the cloud light and said to Lin Yunying: "Ma Qin is here. Go and pick him up. Don't be rude."
Lin Yunying frowned: "What is he here for?"
Empress Jin Qiong shook her head and did not answer.
Lin Yunying came outside the mountain gate and saw Ma Qin pressing the cloud head.
Lin Yunying looked unkind: "What are you doing here?"
Ma Qin saluted: "My teacher would like to invite your mother-in-law to come to my Xialing Cave to discuss matters. Please inform me."
Lin Yunying didn't move, frowned and asked: "What does your teacher have to discuss with my mother-in-law?"
Ma Qin said: "I don't know about this either."
Lin Yunying crossed her arms and squinted, looked at Ma Qin up and down for a while, and then said, "Just wait, I'll go talk to my mother-in-law."
Ma Qin nodded.
Lin Yunying returned to the door and went to the palace. Empress Jin Qiong asked: "Where are the people?"
Lin Yunying said: "Outside the door, I said that Zhuang Ruoqing wanted to invite you to go."
Empress Jin Qiong raised her head and blinked: "What did he ask me for?"
Lin Yunying said: "I'll just send him away!"
Empress Jin Qiong shook her head: "You go ahead, just tell me I will go later."
Lin Yunying went out again and told Ma Qin, who then said goodbye and returned to the mountain.
Empress Jin Qiong packed her bags and rushed to Xialing Cave with Lin Yunying.
On the way, Lin Yunying said: "Madam, I'm afraid Zhuang Ruoqing is up to no good."
Empress Jin Qiong said quietly: "Good things are going to happen, bad things are going to happen even more."
After a while, the two of them arrived outside Xialing Cave. Ma Qin had been waiting outside the mountain gate and saluted, "I have seen your empress."
Empress Jin Qiong nodded: "Please take me to see your teacher."
Ma Qin took the two of them to the living room. Zhuang Ruoqing came to see them and saluted, "Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."
Empress Jin Qiong returned the favor and took her seat, asking, "Senior brother, please invite my sister here. Is there anything you want to discuss?"
Zhuang Ruoqing looked back at Ma Qin and asked Empress Jin Qiong: "Has my sister heard about Yao Di Dao and Nan Dan Dao's immortals?"
Of course Empress Jin Qiong knew that, and said: "But the battle in Changchang Cave?"
Zhuang Ruoqing nodded vigorously and said with joy: "That's it! Master Maoshen and Taoist Xuanjian tried their best to ambush Master Lei Lie, but they didn't want to steal the chicken but lose the rice. It's really satisfying!"
Empress Jin Qiong lowered her head and thought for a moment, then asked, "What do you think, senior brother, of this matter?"
Zhuang Ruoqing shook his head: "What do you think?
How else can I watch it?
This is a good opportunity for us Xinnan Dao Immortals and even Buchan Palace."
Empress Jin Qiong's heart sank and she asked, "What does senior brother mean?"
Zhuang Ruoqing smacked his lips: "Why don't my sister understand that his Taoism is empty? Isn't it the best time to take advantage of it?"
Empress Jin Qiong took a breath, lowered her head and asked, "Senior Brother, you want to attack Taoist Xuanjian."
Zhuang Ruoqing hummed proudly: "I heard that Taoist Xuanjian was killed by Master Lei Lie, leaving only his master and disciple. How can he still have the strength to oppose us now?
They are killing each other, and we are reaping the benefits, isn't it wonderful?"
Empress Jin Qiong frowned and said worriedly: "However, this move will attract the attention of Princess Jingyang. If it provokes a war between Guang Hanqiu and our Buchan Palace, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Zhuang Ruoqing waved his hand: "My sister is too timid, so what if Guanghan Qiuzhen fights with us?
Yao Di Road has declined to this point, and Shannan Road, Yuankou Road and Nanyu Road have been wary of Guzhu Kingdom all year round, so what is there to fear?"
Empress Jin Qiong rounded the corner and said, "If there is a fight, we won't be able to take advantage. Instead, Xia Yunfeng and Yan Taichun will take advantage."
Zhuang Ruoqing insisted: "Taoist Xuanjian has only an empty shell left. If we don't take action, Master Lei Lie will do the same. This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back!"
Empress Jin Qiong wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhuang Ruoqing: "Sister, this matter has been settled. I will organize the manpower right away. You will have to help me when the time comes!"
Empress Jin Qiong licked her lips and nodded: "Just follow senior brother's arrangements."
Zhuang Ruoqing hugged Empress Jin Qiong's shoulders: "Sister, this is right!"
