The first thousand and sixty-eight chapters spies end
Chen Taizhong didn't know what was happening around him. After resting in the mine for more than ten hours, he returned to the Haoran station in anger.
He didn't realize that because of this trip to the mine, he escaped a thorough investigation by the Xiaotian Sect.
Two secret guards of the Xiaotian Sect were killed, and the secret was deceived. It seemed that it was just the death of two immortals, but the Xiaotian Sect knew in its heart that once the souls of these two immortals were searched, it would cause a huge disturbance.
So they immediately sent out manpower to start investigating any suspects who might bring huge losses to the sect. Taking advantage of the presence of the true immortal of the sect in the Netherworld, they had to eliminate the situation as soon as possible.
The priority for investigation is naturally all kinds of big guys. As for the scattered wandering cultivators, you can let them go - they may have the strength to kill two secret guards, but they do not have the ability to cause trouble.
Among them, Chen Taizhong is of course the top priority - not only does this man have extraordinary combat prowess, he is also a member of the sect.
But the worst thing is that Chen Taizhong's whereabouts are too strange. Although this person has a base camp in Haoran, he is often missing and no one knows where he has gone.
That's why the Xiaotian Sect, through connections, entrusted it to Zhubei Gong's Mansion, hoping that they would help and test whether Chen Taizhong was around.
It happened that Zhubei Gong wanted to take away the Fengtungsten produced by the government, and the Grand Duke's mansion was indeed managed on two lines of income and expenditure. It was easy for the Haoran Sect to do it, and there was no need to do it deliberately.
Of course, rules are made by people and broken by people. Since Chen Taizhong showed up at the mine in time, the Duke's Palace must sell this face to him.
This is not to say that Zhubei Gongfu, with the existence of a true immortal, is afraid of Chen Taizhong. In fact, the two sides have no grudges in the past and have no enmity in recent times. If a dispute occurs, even if the Grand Duke's mansion can capture Chen Taizhong, it will have to pay a considerable price.
It's really not worth it to make such an enemy for such a trivial matter. It's enough to test and get the result.
Xiaotian Sect was a little depressed about this result. This meant that they had to look for other more likely suspects.
In fact, the cultivators of Xiaotian Sect believe that Chen Taizhong should have mastered a very fast movement technique. However, even if his movement technique is unparalleled, his cultivation cannot be faked. If Chen Taizhong is really the murderer, he will not be able to do it in time.
Appeared in the Northern Territory.
Even if he can appear in the Northern Territory in time, he will inevitably have overdraft of Qi and blood.
Wei Xiaosheng carried Chen Zhenren in a war boat. He swaggered back to the station. Chen Zhenren released Xiaoyao Palace again, but no one was allowed to enter. At this time, no one was sure whether he was really in Xiaoyao Palace.
The cultivators in the market heard that Master Wei had also become a disciple of Master Chen, and they started talking about it.
One thing that is certain is that these three immortal masters did not become Chen Taizhen's followers willingly on a whim. They all had one reason or another, and they had no choice but to take refuge under Chen Taizhong's banner.
Most wandering cultivators actually don't like to be restrained. Even though Chen Taizhong is famous for being a protector of shortcomings and famous for being tough, since he can be free, why should he be controlled by others?
Therefore, the cultivators in the market had a somewhat contradictory mood. They envied the three masters for having a backer, but also felt that their own free status was more valuable. Because of this, there was no phenomenon of cultivators flocking to Chen Zhenren.
Ming Guangzhi and Li Manxi joined forces to defect to Chen Taizhong, which did not cause much controversy. However, Wei Xiaosheng's defection surprised the practitioners somewhat.
Master Wei is good at making good medicine. He is also low-key and does not sell his body to make quick money. He is favored by many male cultivators - it is because of this that Qiang Gao gets close to her and he does not dare to expose their relationship.
Now she has quietly joined Chen Taizhong's family, which has caused some bad speculations. What's more, she mentioned the legendary fox princess intentionally or unintentionally, which seems to have something to do with it.
Generally speaking, Li Xiaoliu hates such rumors very much, but right now she can't care less, because something even more hateful has happened, "Master Chen, you mean... Bing Yanxia may be a spy?"
"It's not possible, it's 'just'!" Chen Taizhong snorted angrily, "I'm so full that I'm teasing you?"
Li Xiaoliu's chest rose and fell rapidly twice, then she turned around and walked out. A deep roar came from her throat, "I'm going to tear this bastard apart!"
Bing Yanxia is a disciple she values very much. He is about ten years younger than her, and his cultivation level is two levels below hers. He is quite strategic in dealing with situations, and he is also courageous. He is someone she considers to be "worthy of a big responsibility". The pillars of the future.
Now that she learned that he turned out to be a spy, one can imagine the anger in her heart.
"Why are you so restless?" Chen Taizhong snorted dissatisfied, "Stop!"
Li Xiaoliu stopped and turned around to look over. The veins on her forehead were twitching, which showed how angry she was. "What else do you have to say, Master?"
"You didn't have such a bad temper before," Chen Taizhong frowned, "What crime do you plan to use to kill him?"
"First arrest him for torture, and if that doesn't work, search for his soul," Li Xiaoliu replied confidently, "The Iron Blood Hall has no shortage of execution methods. If we can confirm that he is a spy, the rest will be easy to deal with."
Chen Taizhong laughed and said, "You do trust me."
A strange light flashed in Li Xiaoliu's eyes, but she concealed it well, "Even if I can't trust myself, I can trust the real person. Of course, I will allow him to defend himself."
"Haha," Chen Taizhong smiled again, "The person who came into contact with him was the secret guard of Xiaotian Sect. Do you know what the secret guard is?"
"A secret guard of the Xiaotian Sect?" Li Xiaoliu took another breath of cold air upon hearing this, and her expression changed. She had been in the sect much longer than Chen Taizhong, so of course she knew what the sect's secret guards were. "It's not Prince Feng's Mansion?"
"Those two secret guards have been killed by me," Chen Taizhong said slowly. "Before killing them, I searched for their souls and obtained a lot of other information... Do you still insist on dealing with him in a big way now?"
"Why not?" Li Xiaoliu returned to normal after being surprised. She said with a livid face, "Those who betray our sect will be killed without mercy."
"Use your head," Chen Taizhong said impatiently, "I only told you about this matter. If you handle it this way, I will be really disappointed."
"Xiaoliu deserves to die," Li Xiaoliu bowed deeply to Chen Taizhong, took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"I'm just used to the mutual aid between fellow disciples, and I can't tolerate betrayal. The Iron Blood Hall has been fighting in the Fenghuang Realm for seven years, and just to save the disciples who were incompetent, I killed three of them with my own hands... Since I have no friendship with my fellow disciples... Heart, what’s the use of keeping it?”
Chen Taizhong was speechless, and after a long time he sighed softly, "The fight in Fenghuang Realm was also very difficult, but I ask you again, do you think it is appropriate to do this?"
"I would rather never have heard of this shameless villain." Li Xiaoliu obviously understood that what she was doing was inappropriate. She just couldn't turn this corner. "Next time there is another war, I will arrange for him to be on the front line."
She finally chose a safer path - there was no way, Chen Zhenren killed two secret guards, and also searched the souls to get a lot of information. She wanted to act impulsively, but it was really not allowed.
"The main thing is not to let him have the opportunity to involve too many secrets," Chen Taizhong nodded slightly. In fact, he did not rub sand in his eyes, but killing Bing Yanxia now would be a bit troublesome. Li Xiaoliu's countermeasures are not bad.
Just consider that Bing Yanxia's conscience is still intact and give him a decent way to die.
A year later, the foreign slaves sent by Haoran in the mine rebelled, and Bing Yanxia was ordered to support him. He fought hard and refused to retreat, but died outnumbered.
In that rebellion, only two disciples of the Haoran sect died in total. Regarding his death, others described his death as - "Senior Brother Bing was so bloody-minded that he couldn't stop him no matter what. Alas... it's a pity."
Therefore, Bing Yanxia's body was transported back to the sect for a grand burial. A few years later, Li Xiaoliu succeeded in becoming an immortal. She was so happy that she drew her sword and sang, but accidentally hit his tomb. The body turned into fly ash. Others only said that she was happy.
If it is too much, the matter will be ignored.
After arranging this matter, Chen Taizhong waited patiently for the arrival of Jianbao Pavilion.
But this time, Jianbao Pavilion's speed was much slower than he expected.
It was almost two months before the seventh shopkeeper brought someone here again. By this time, Chen Taizhong's health was already in good shape and he would go out for a walk from time to time to show his presence.
This time, the Seventh Shopkeeper came very low-key, actually flying in the physical body, and after entering the territory of the Haoran Sect, they still flew close to the ground. However, unfortunately, they were hit by the patrolling disciples of the Haoran Sect.
The patrolling disciples checked the identity of the visitor and found out that Jianbao Pavilion was quite famous, and some of them knew the seventh shopkeeper.
Not to mention that in the Fenghuang Realm, the Seventh Shopkeeper appeared in the Haoran Sect many times, but this time the Iron Blood Hall disciples were placed in the Netherworld.
They wanted to send a signal to notify the station, but they were stopped by Shopkeeper Seven, "We have big business to discuss here, and we don't want to attract attention. You can just inform Master Chen directly."
Oh my god, how could the seventh shopkeeper of the Western Branch of Dangtang Jianbao Pavilion, Master Tianxian, have ever been so polite to any immortal?
I think back when Chen Taizhong entered the Jianbao Pavilion when he was an immortal, people didn't even bother to pay attention to it.
Unfortunately, the disciples of the Haoran Sect did not know how to cherish it. They felt that they deserved to be treated like this, but they did not make any extra trouble. A Lingxian disciple drove them directly to the Haoran Sect's residence in a spirit boat.
Chen Taizhong happened to be refining the origin of thunder in Xiaoyao Palace. When he knew that the Seventh Shopkeeper was coming, he opened the door of Xiaoyao Palace and let them in.
However, after these people came in, Chen Taizhong immediately felt that something was wrong, so he looked at a middle-aged beardless man and said, "The Peak Jade Immortal...is this another person from Jianbao Pavilion?"
He knew that Bai Fengming was in charge of the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion in the Netherworld now. This person turned out to be the pinnacle Jade Immortal. He must have just arrived recently.
"Lin Xiuxun," Peak Jade Immortal smiled at him and nodded gently, "This transaction is of great significance, and the pavilion sent me personally to show its concern."
