However, according to the disciples of the Five Elements Sect, Han Hong and his servants, they were innocent. They found no ancient painting scrolls at all when they entered the cave, only forbidden formations that were forcibly broken everywhere. Before them, they were the first to break into the water mansion.
The team in Dongtian was none other than the Lu sisters’ team! At that time, their team also included Wei Tong and Gu Qing.
This put the head of the Cao family in a difficult position. Seeing that they all spoke the same words and swore to each other, but they had not colluded in advance, no one could tell for sure.
Therefore, the head of the Cao family detained these people and made up his mind to send jade slips to the Lu family. At the same time, the jade slips were also sent to the Wentian Sect and the Yao Sect.
The sect leaders each arrested their disciples Wei Tong and Gu Qing and brought them to justice.
When the jade slips of greetings arrived at the great cultivator family of the Lu family, there was no news, which made everyone in the Cao family feel ashamed, but they did not dare to say anything. As for the jade slips sent to the Wentian Sect, they were also guarded.
Sect Master Tian stood in the way and claimed that Wei Tong had not seen any ancient painting scrolls. He also said that the two rich ladies of the Lu family could testify.
When the jade slips of worship were delivered to the Medicine Sect, the sect leader Zhao Yuan frowned and secretly thought that although Gu Qing was the eldest disciple of his sect, his cultivation level was very limited. How could it be related to the treasure of the Cao Mansion, the ancient painting scroll?
What's the connection? Sect Leader Zhao also specially sent people to Dong Lingze and met with Elder Song and Elder Xuanqing. They both said that they had not seen any trace of Gu Qing these days.
The Medicine Sect has always focused on collecting herbs and refining elixirs. It is the weakest sect among the five major sects around Fengyu Town. It cannot afford to offend the Cao family, so the leader of the Zhao family went to the Cao Mansion in person to pay a visit and only said that he had not found it.
Gu Qing also stated that Gu Qing's cultivation level is too low and it is impossible to seize the Cao family's ancestral treasure of the cave. Please be patient, head of the Cao family.
The head of the Cao family became more and more suspicious that the two richest daughters of the Lu family, who were the most powerful and financially powerful among the Anding monks, were responsible for stealing the ancient painting scrolls. However, without conclusive evidence, he did not dare to point the finger at the Lu family easily.
At this point, the head of the Cao family can only continue to put pressure on the Wentian sect leader, and then send family monks to search for Gu Qing's whereabouts deep in Donglingze.
Gu Qing didn't know about all this, but he could guess that after all, the Cao family had lost a valuable treasure and would not let it go. They would definitely send someone to inspect Donglingze.
Therefore, Gu Qing paid special attention to everything along the way and kept an eye on all the movements along the way.
The demon dragon carried Gu Qing and flew a hundred miles away, leaving the deep mountains and old forests behind.
Everywhere he saw were dense mountains and swamps, mountains connected to mountains, ridges connected to ridges, crisscrossed river networks, and lakes one after another. Gu Qing was riding a demon dragon flying over Xingtou when he suddenly saw a group of people on the edge of a canyon ahead.
Walking around and looking at his clothes, he looks like a servant of the Cao Mansion!
Gu Qing's eyes narrowed, and he immediately pressed down the dragon's head and chased after him. In his opinion, any cultivator walking in Donglingze must be flying around with sword light or flying magic weapon. Only Anding was there.
Only later monks would walk in groups in Donglingze.
Just as the fourth-order demon dragon flew down, the servants of the Cao Mansion in the canyon suddenly raised their heads and saw the flying dragon in the sky. They were surprised and said in confusion:
"Look! The aqua blue demonic dragon! It seems to be very similar to the one the eldest lady mentioned!"
"Ah? It's also the fourth level. Is it really the dragon that haunts the secret realm of Shuifu?"
"You can't go wrong! The whole body is aqua blue, and a demonic dragon like this is very rare around our Fengyu Town!"
When these servants of the Cao family saw the fourth-order demon dragon at first sight, they almost forgot the fear in their hearts, and they all shouted excitedly, as if they were happy that the family master had finally found a clue, although this clue seemed to be the same as in the Shuifu Cave.
The ancient painting scrolls have nothing to do with it.
But in the blink of an eye, when they saw a figure wearing a bamboo hat and a blue shirt standing on top of the demonic dragon, these servants of the Cao family seemed to have seen a sinister spirit, and their faces were full of horror!
"No! The person driving the demon dragon is the blue-shirted monk who killed the Five Elements Sect monks and the Han family monks as the eldest lady said! He is also wearing a bamboo hat, he looks so similar!"
"I heard from the brothers of the Five Elements Sect that this is the way they are dressed. It's absolutely right! Run! The murderous devil is coming!"
All the Cao monks fled in all directions as if they had seen a ghost.
Gu Qing was both angry and amused when he saw it. It was because after the disguise, the influence was even greater. It seemed that the name of the monk in blue was much louder!
"You guys, stop for me!" Gu Qing lowered his voice, pretending to be hoarse and deep, and shouted coldly.
The servants of the Cao Mansion shuddered when they heard the deep and hoarse voice of the blue-shirted monk.
Some of them were so frightened that they didn't even know which leg to take to escape. They shivered and kowtowed in the direction of the demonic dragon.
"Senior, please spare your life! I didn't know that Senior's great driver was passing by here, so we missed him from afar!"
The bolder ones were still running away, how could Gu Qing do as they wished! He immediately activated the demonic dragon to perform the Water Dragon Roar, and the large-scale water-type group attack poured down like a waterfall from the sky, instantly drowning the fleeing servants.
Put them into a state of sluggishness.
Gu Qing stood on the dragon's head, folded his hands, and stared coldly through the gauze of the forbidden bamboo hat at these servants of the Cao Mansion who were soaked like drowned chickens and cried for their fathers and mothers. There were eight people in total, all of them were from the late Anding period.
Most of the monks are from the seventh level of Anding, and there are two old servants among them. It is obvious that their qualifications are too poor. They have been practicing for a long time and have stopped at the late stage of Anding.
The long and narrow shadow of the fourth-order demonic dragon in the sunlight was like a terrifying cloud hanging over the heads of these servants of the Cao Mansion. No one dared to move a step.
An old man in green cloth robes choked on the water and coughed for a long time, but he was an old monk who had experienced strong winds and waves after all. He quickly took the lead and led everyone to kneel in a row, and begged with a grimace: "I am waiting for Xiaoxiu, I admire you senior
His prestige has lasted for a long time! During the battle at the west gate of Fengyu Town, the reputation of my senior spread throughout the entire Fengyu Town. I am already very old, but I am lucky enough to meet my senior today. This life will be well worth it!"
"That's right! Being able to meet my senior is a blessing that I have spent several lifetimes cultivating!"
"It was our reputation that shocked our seniors. We specially made way for you, old man, and we didn't dare to show any slights."
All the servants of the Cao Mansion tried their best to flatter the horse and kept saying New Year greetings to the monk in blue shirt standing on the demon dragon.
Gu Qing coughed solemnly, and said coldly in a hoarse and deep voice: "That's enough! What are you eight doing in Donglingze?"
There was a smarter black and thin monk who got in front of the old man in green and said with a flattering smile: "Reporting to senior, we are here to form a team to practice."
The old man in blue was afraid that the senior in blue would not believe it, so he quickly pointed and said: "Go eastward along this canyon area, and you will enter the East Lingze Grand Canyon. Nowadays, all the monks of the late Anding period from various sects are rushing there.
Go and experience it.”
Gu Qing's heart moved, and he followed the trend of the canyon and looked to the east. Sure enough, he saw that the canyon stretched straight to the end of the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Immediately, Gu Qing's eyes turned around and glanced at the prostrate eight monks of the same level. He sneered: "Team training? Hahaha! Are you coaxing a three-year-old child? Looking at your costumes, are you sent by the Cao Mansion?
Tell me! What's the business of coming to Donglingze? If you dare to tell lies, you'll all be fed to the demon dragon!"
This group of monks were so frightened that they almost wet their pants and kowtowed in the muddy water to apologize: "Yes! Senior, forgive me! Senior's eyes are as bright as fire, and I admire you so much. The young monks were sent by their master to carry out a fatwa to kill in Dongling."
Search for thieves."
Saying that, the thin black monk presented the fatwa and asked the senior in blue to read it to prove that what he said was true and he would never dare to deceive the senior.
Gu Qing ordered the demon dragon to stretch out his claws and take it. He was shocked to see the word "Gu Qing" engraved on the Cao Mansion's death order, but the strokes were very graceful, and it was obviously written by a woman. Gu Qing continued to chase.
A little mana was injected into the killing order, and the shadow of a portrait spread out. It was exactly what he looked like wearing a moon-white satin gown!
What made Gu Qing both angry and funny the most was that a line of small words appeared next to his portrait: "Whoever captures Gu Qing will be rewarded with a hundred thousand spiritual stones! Whoever discovers the ancestral treasures and clues to ancient painting scrolls will be rewarded with spiritual stones."
Three hundred thousand!"
Gu Qing secretly thought to himself: "Needless to say, Miss Cao Yuzhen must have drawn my appearance when she went back, and stamped it on the jade slip of the Cao Mansion's killing order. Fortunately, I changed my disguise today into wearing a hat.
There are blue-shirted monks in bamboo hats, otherwise, these servants of the Cao Mansion, who are greedy for profit when they see me, will not be as afraid of me as they are now!"
In front of these anxious Cao Mansion servants, Gu Qing pretended to be serious and sneered: "Looking for ancient painting scrolls? Haha, I'm afraid you are looking for the wrong person!"
The servants of the Cao Mansion were confused and stared blankly at the senior in blue shirt standing on the demon dragon. They all looked frightened, as if they were afraid that this murderous senior in blue shirt would give them a chance with just a raise of his hand.
No return.
The old man in green said cautiously: "Does the senior know the whereabouts of Gu Qing, the great disciple of the Medicine Sect? I beg the senior to make it clear!"
Everyone woke up and hurriedly smiled at the senior in blue shirt.
Gu Qing's low and hoarse voice said coldly: "You people in the Cao Mansion are all a bunch of losers! In order to hunt down a great disciple of the Medicine Sect, you actually mobilized a large number of troops. How could Gu Qing, a mere minor cultivator in Anding, do this?
Break the forbidden law of Shuifu Cave!"
"Yes! Yes! That's what the seniors taught us! The younger ones are also thinking that it's not like what monk Anding did. It's just a difference between the superiors and the inferiors. We have no choice but to do it. We only hope that our seniors will let us live. We are very grateful!"
All the servants of the Cao Mansion were as silent as a cicada under the demonic dragon of Senior Lan Shi, wishing they could send this evil god away as soon as possible.
In order to obtain the forgiveness of the legendary murderer, the thin black monk flattered and said superfluously: "Senior is right! His analysis is very thorough! Hehe, even if it is not the ancient painting scroll that Gu Qing stole, he
Among the monks who entered Shuifu Cave, we are acting under orders and must hunt down Gu Qing!"
There was a coldness in Gu Qinghan's star-like eyes. If it weren't for the forbidden gauze hat, the thin black monk would have been frightened by this awe-inspiring murderous intention and fell to the ground.
