Chapter 1699: Illusion Sect
He Lingchuan couldn't help but pick his ears; the scream in the mirror was too harsh.
Does this Haoyuan Golden Mirror have a great origin? When my broken mirror saw it, it was like seeing the idol I had secretly loved for thousands of years.
"Haoyuan Golden Mirror is a role model for our generation!" Mirror's tongue was almost tied. "It has so many wonderful uses. I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."
He Lingchuan snapped his fingers on its chest, interrupting its chattering.
What a noise! He wants to discuss serious matters.
Lu Jing stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the black-robed man in the middle: "Master Xiao, here comes the outsider!"
Sect Leader Xiao turned around. He had a thin face, a tall stature, three whiskers under his chin, and a red mole at the end of his eyebrow. He really looked like an immortal. He Lingchuan knew that the Sect Leader's real name was Xiao Wencheng, and his Taoist name was Master Yu, and he was one of Master Qianhuan's direct disciples.
This person is truly an immortal, and he can have an altar tablet set up in the temple and receive incense offerings.
Even the indifference in his expression and gaze were consistent with He Lingchuan's imagination of an immortal.
His eyes swept across He Lingchuan and Aunt Zhu, so sharp that it seemed to penetrate them from the inside out.
It's very invasive and makes people feel uncomfortable.
He Lingchuan had not experienced this kind of gaze from a superior for a long time.
Lu Jing observed his expression and seamlessly introduced the following: "These people said they were visitors from Lingshan and also showed their tokens."
He Lingchuan took out the giant clam bell again. Sect Leader Xiao took it personally and rubbed it carefully for a while before he hummed, "It is indeed a thing of the Immortal Lord."
Is this bell Qian Huan's? He Lingchuan replied at the right time: "Qian Huan Immortal Venerable has never appeared in the world, Lingshan is worried, so he asked me to come in and find out the truth."
Qian Huan Zhenren had been absent from work for too long. Not only did the other Zhenxians complain, Lingshan was also worried that something might happen to him. As the top leader under Qian Huan, Sect Leader Xiao knew the pros and cons of this. "What's your name?"
He Lingchuan casually introduced the three of them, and then went straight to the point, acting as if he was doing business: "Excuse me, where is the Immortal Venerable Qianhuan?"
Sect Leader Xiao looked at the people behind him and ordered, "You go down first."
Everyone, including Lu Jing, left the quiet room, and only five people stayed.
"The last time I saw Wang Xingyi, he was about your age." Sect Leader Xiao half-turned sideways. "A decade has passed, and even he has become the Imperial Master. How is he doing now?"
The soul-catching mirror made a sound: "Good fellow, you have elevated your seniority in an instant."
This is called "arrogance".
He Lingchuan was very familiar with the routines of officialdom, superiors and subordinates, and human relationships, and he got back to the point in just two sentences:
"I'm sorry, I'm not from Mu country. Master Wang Guo and I haven't seen each other for two years, but he always writes to me. He should be fine, but he's worried about Immortal Venerable Qianhuan."
Sect Leader Xiao pointed at the mirror and said, "Do you know who is on the sea?"
"The viewing angle is too far." He Lingchuan was also observing the mirror, "Can it be enlarged?"
As soon as He Lingchuan finished speaking, the mirror of the Haoyuan Golden Mirror suddenly enlarged and focused on the largest and most luxurious ship in the fleet.
Oh, this mirror is so smart. I immediately understood what he was talking about and could even find the fleet’s main ship.
After the picture was enlarged, He Lingchuan could see the gray sails rustling in the wind, the patches on the sails, the guards and sailors on the deck, and the familiar face -
Bai Ziqi came as expected.
"The Cloud Envoy of the Heavenly Palace, Bai Ziqi." He Lingchuan pointed at him, "He has been tracking the whereabouts of Master Qianhuan. Lingshan has sent people to snipe him several times, but they all failed."
Sect Leader Xiao asked, "Tracking the Immortal Venerable? How does he track him?"
"The great spirit gathering formation of Baimao Mountain."
Sect Leader Xiao frowned: "What White Hair Mountain?"
"Oh, that's the name now. One hundred and sixty or seventy years ago, that place was called Longshou Mountain, the legendary place where the Dragon God fell!" Seeing the change in the opposite face, He Lingchuan continued, "Nearly a year ago, Lingshan suddenly discovered that the inverted Tiangang formation on Longshou Mountain had revealed its presence, and the giant fern tree's disguise had disappeared. When they were about to capture him, Bai Ziqi broke through and killed quite a few of us!"
Good guy! Dong Rui, who was standing next to him, couldn't help scratching his nose.
Did He Lingchuan lie? No, every word was true. But he left out the most crucial factor and put the previous and subsequent events together, making it sound as if Bai Ziqi was the culprit who destroyed the spirit gathering formation!
His skill of passing the buck is becoming more and more perfect.
The people behind Xiao Wencheng looked at each other, their faces full of dark clouds: "The spirit gathering formation failed, it turns out that they are the ones who did it!"
They have had a very hard life over the past six months.
He Lingchuan looked over when he heard the voice, and Xiao Wencheng introduced them to him: "This is Elder Xu, Elder Liu, Elder Jin..."
He Lingchuan clasped his fists as a gesture of greeting, and the people opposite him all nodded.
Elder Xu continued, "Before more than a dozen of us brothers followed the Immortal Lord into the Upside-Down Sea, we set up the Spirit Gathering Formation ourselves!"
He Lingchuan suddenly realized.
These people in front of me are indeed immortals!
No wonder he is arrogant towards mortals.
Lu Jing is the disciple recruited by Huan Zong on Yinzhu Island, and these few are the confidants of Zhenren Qianhuan, and are the immortals who have been following him for countless years!
Even though He Lingchuan and others were given the title of Lingshan Special Envoy, Xiao Wencheng and others still looked down upon them.
There is a difference between immortals and mortals, and strength is what is respected.
"What's strange is that if this Bai only found the Tiangang Formation on Longshou Mountain, how could he deduce the correct location of the Upside-Down Sea?" Xiao Wencheng frowned, "This formation must be compared positively and negatively to accurately locate it."
He Lingchuan remained calm and said, "The Heavenly Palace has endless tricks. I'm afraid I'll have to ask him in person to get the answer."
Elder Xu continued, "Maybe they have discovered both formations. The Heavenly Palace also has some forces in the Shining Gold Plain. Hey, have you forgotten that the Heavenly Palace knew some news about Lingshan earlier than us!"
He has thick eyebrows, a round face, a slightly red nose, and looks like he has a bad temper.
Xiao Wencheng turned around and looked at the fleet and Bai Ziqi in the mirror, his eyes filled with deep thought.
Elder Xu couldn't help but say, "There are only a few ships and a few people. We can just send people to kill them all. What are you hesitating about, Brother Master?"
"He dares to track down the Immortal Venerable, could he be unprepared?"
Elder Xu laughed and said, "What kind of place is this? Discipline them so that they can never come back! Senior brother is too cautious."
Xiao Wencheng ignored him and asked He Lingchuan: "How much do you know about this person?"
"Bai Ziqi is smart and capable, has a good eye for detail, and is loyal to the Heavenly Palace. He is deeply loved by Saint Lingxu. Among the several Duyun envoys, he has the greatest hope of taking over the position of chief envoy and becoming the first person in charge of the Heavenly Palace." This was not nonsense from He Lingchuan, but something Wang Xingyi told him.
Of course, the people who know Bai Ziqi best are his enemies.
Wang Xingyi also gave him a piece of gossip. Bai Ziqi had done a lot of important things, which led to the fact that Du Yun's master had never been very fond of this capable general. However, the old man had been in poor health in the past two years, and his attitude towards Bai Ziqi had improved a little.
Xiao Wencheng let out a long "Oh": "An important figure in the Heavenly Palace."
Not number one yet, but almost there.
He Lingchuan heard the murderous intent in his tone, and then continued: "He didn't have so many people when he came from Yao Country. This large group of people should have been borrowed from later."
As soon as he mentioned Yao Kingdom, everyone understood. Elder Jin interrupted: "Yao Kingdom is the territory of Kshatriya Heaven. Will it lend its people to the Heavenly Palace under the Lingxu Gods?"
"The Yao Kingdom changed its beliefs a long time ago, and the whole nation served Miaozhantian. Don't you know? This happened more than 150 years ago."
Judging from the expressions of the immortals, it is really unclear.
How many years has it been since these old guys went out to the Upside-Down Sea?
Aren’t they also paying too much attention to the human kingdom on the Golden Plains?
Before the immortals of the Illusion Sect could digest this news, He Lingchuan dropped the next bombshell:
"And the Yao Kingdom has just been destroyed. There is no such country in the Shining Gold Plains anymore."
Xiao Wencheng was finally surprised: "The Yao Kingdom was destroyed? Who defeated it?"
"It was too disobedient, so the Heavenly Palace and Beijia launched a coup and massacred the royal family. There is no new king yet, and the former Yao Kingdom is still being fought over by many heroes." He Lingchuan said here, and then changed the subject, "Before King Yao died, he released a giant Yin Viper hidden under the Yuquan Palace, and the gods sent out two gods."
"God descends?" Xiao Wencheng focused more, "Is it Miao Zhantian's clone?"
"It seems not, but I don't know the details." He Lingchuan said, "We speculate that this could be the Dharma image of Immortal Venerable Qianhuan?"
He has already figured out that the reason why the Huan Sect is paying attention to the Yao Kingdom is probably because of this Yin Viper.
Sure enough, Xiao Wencheng nodded: "Yes, that is the Immortal Venerable Dharma Image, which was loaned to the monarch of Yao Kingdom about sixty years ago."
However, after the Immortal Venerable returned to the Upside-Down Sea, he did not mention the matter of Yao Kingdom converting to Miaozhantian.
Dong Rui and Aunt Zhu looked at each other. Wow, the guy named He really guessed it right.
After the incident in Yao Palace, they discussed the reason why the giant snake Dharmadhatu was hiding in Yao Palace.
Aunt Zhu is an ancient demon, and Dong Rui is a demon puppet master. They all agree that it is impossible that the previous generation of King Yao could control the giant snake just because he accidentally picked up the inner elixir on the roadside.
Neither Yao Wang nor his son possess profound cultivation. It is wishful thinking for them to completely control the immortal form with just an inner elixir.
The giant viper has been staying quietly under Yuquan Palace for decades without coming out to cause trouble. The only explanation is that it did so voluntarily and not under duress.
Who could have made it stay in the mortal palace voluntarily? There are many possibilities, but the most likely possibility is its original form.
He Lingchuan, who had guessed correctly, still acted surprised: "Why is that?"
Xiao Wencheng waved his hand and asked first: "How was the outcome of that battle?"
When the Immortal Lord’s Dharma image goes into battle, they are of course concerned about the outcome.
"One of the two avatars of the gods died and the other was seriously injured, but the giant snake also turned into a white bird and flew north." Dong Rui exclaimed, "Logically, the giant snake should return to the Upside-Down Sea, right? How come your sect doesn't know about this?"
The immortals behind didn't even blink, as if they didn't hear anything, and had no intention of answering.
Dong Rui hadn't been treated with such contempt for a long time, and he cursed in his heart.
