Chapter 1193: Leling Prince

After several days and nights, three months had passed since Master Zhao Yu and his apprentice arrived at Wuquan Mountain.

After Guo Wu came down the mountain, he told everyone that a fairy had descended from the deserted mountain, causing panic among the villagers. They all thought that some fairy master had come to the area, and they didn't know how much money and grain they should collect as tribute to worship the fairy. They also said that it would be fine if they only wanted money and grain, but if they wanted people like the Ten Perfections Sect did, there would really be not many people left in the nearby villages and towns.

Sure enough, after two days, several Taoists came down from the mountain, claiming to be disciples of the Xiyue Sect of Wuquan Mountain. They said that the original Shiquan Sect was just a group of bandits who did evil, not some Taoist gods or immortals. Now it was the leader of his Xiyue Sect who took action and killed all the evildoers. He told the surrounding villages and towns not to worry and to just live on farming and weaving as before.

In the eyes of these secular people, there was not much difference between the Shiquan Sect and the Xiyue Sect. It was like the emperor had changed and the people below had to live their lives. The people below also accepted this result calmly. However, later on, they gradually saw the difference of the Xiyue Sect.

For example, the people of this sect do not collect money and grain, nor do they forcibly abduct people. If the people living at the foot of the mountain are injured or sick, they can ask the Taoist to treat them. It can be said that the medicine works immediately and there is no failure. More importantly, since the Xiyue Sect has been stationed in the wild mountain area, wild beasts are rarely seen. The hunters in the village used to be extremely afraid of tigers and wolves in the mountains, but now they dare to go up the mountain in groups and often return with a full load.

Over time, people living at the foot of the mountain also began to call the barren mountain Wuquan Mountain, and the Xiyue Sect became increasingly popular and famous.

The news was then passed on to the Leling Marquis' Mansion in the county town through the hands of the local county magistrate.

Although Chu Tang, the Marquis of Leling, was only a collateral relative of the ruler of Shaoyun, they had been friends since childhood. Therefore, after he was crowned, he was given the relatively rich Leling as his fiefdom. Although he could not be said to have a harmonious government over the past 20 years, he did not make many mistakes and was considered a ruler who maintained the status quo. However, in the past two years, there were many evil cultivators causing chaos in the fiefdom. After he suppressed one place, another one came. Among them, the Ten Perfect Sect was the most stubborn. No matter how many times he asked monks to go, he was unable to completely eradicate this sect.

After several unsuccessful raids, many monks became afraid and refused to go forward no matter what.

Chu Tang secretly resented these Taoists for being strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They often boasted about their magical powers in the mansion on weekdays, but became cowards when it came to using them. They all came up with excuses to shirk their responsibilities, but at the same time they were afraid that if the Ten Perfect Sect was not eliminated for a long time, the court would call them to account, and they would be to blame.

On this day, the eldest son of Leling Marquis returned from Huaijing, and he hurried to pay a visit to his father first. As he was currently studying in the capital, he could not leave immediately after receiving his father's letter. Therefore, when he arrived home, it was already a month after the letter was opened. Therefore, he did not know about the recent changes in Leling County, and was still worried and uneasy.

He walked into the house quickly, with a worried look on his face and an extremely anxious tone, saying, "Father, why didn't you tell me earlier about the rebellion of the Ten Perfect Sect? I'm in the capital, so I can ask the Taoist priest of the Zhu Xuan Sect to help, so as to prevent the evil cultivator from causing trouble and causing the court to blame you!"

Because he was anxious, he did not notice that Leling Hou did not look sad at all when he entered the room. Instead, he frowned after hearing these words and said, "Nonsense! The people of Zhu Xuan Sect cannot be easily persuaded. If you open your mouth to them, you don't know how much trouble you will suffer!"

  Chu Tang couldn't bear to make his son worry, so he waved him forward again, pointing to the memorial unfolded on the table and said: "My son, there is no need to worry too much. Leling is blessed by God, and now the immortal master has taken action to wipe out the evil people of the Ten Perfect Sect. Your father's major worries are all gone." The prince stepped forward and grabbed the memorial and read it. In addition to the fact that the Ten Perfect Sect was wiped out, it also mentioned that the person who took action was from a sect on the mountain called Xiyue Sect. The monks in the sect are not only kind-hearted, but also have powerful magical powers. Not to mention that the sect leader can also fly in the clouds and travel in the sky, which is not comparable to ordinary Taoists!

"When I was young, I once studied with the king. Fortunately, I saw the elders of Zhuxuan Sect come here on clouds. If the head of Xiyue Sect is really as described in the memorial, his cultivation must be extremely profound, even not inferior to the elders of Zhuxuan Sect. I would like to meet such a person."

Chu Tang put his hands behind his back and sighed. When he talked about Zhu Xuan Sect, his eyes suddenly became gloomy and it was impossible to tell what he was feeling.

The prince of Leling Marquis has been in the capital for a long time, so how could he not know how powerful the Zhuxuan Sect is? Even the princes and princesses have to be humble in front of them, let alone a little prince like him. Chu Xun knew his father's thoughts very well, and immediately clenched his fists and said in a firm tone: "Let the child go to see the leader of the Xiyue Sect first to find out whether the rumors are true or not. If the other party is really that kind of person, it won't be too late for father to introduce him to the capital."

Chu Tang was deeply moved. He raised his hand and patted the young man on the shoulder. He then whispered a few instructions, asking him to select a few carts of treasures from the warehouse and prepare them so as not to displease the leader of the Xiyue Sect.

Two days later, Zhao Yu was sitting quietly in the attic on the top of the mountain. Suddenly, he had an idea and opened his eyes and passed down a command.

Qin Yuke understood the command immediately after reading it, and then he summoned all the monks in the sect to come forward and give them some instructions. Then he stood up, straightened his clothes, and after thinking for a while, he took a horsehair whisk in his hand, looking like a Taoist priest in the temple, with a less sharp edge and a more refined and detached demeanor.

Afterwards, Fang sat upright on the lotus throne again, waiting for someone to come.

At the foot of Wuquan Mountain, Chu Xun, the son of Marquis of Leling, had been traveling day and night, but the mountain road was rugged, and he was leading a carriage pulled by four big horses and five or six carriages loaded with treasures, so he was stopped at the foot of the mountain and didn't know what to do.

However, he stopped at this time and sent people to nearby villages to inquire about this sect. The results they obtained were mostly consistent with what was said in the memorial, but no villager had actually seen the sect leader being able to ride on clouds and fly in the air. They only said that this was said by someone in the Xiyue Sect.

Not long after the servant who went to inquire came back, two figures came down the mountain. Chu Xun looked at them secretly and saw that they were a man and a woman. The man was thirty years old and had a goatee under his chin, while the woman was much younger, but very thin, to the point of being emaciated. Therefore, although they were both dressed formally, they still lacked some dignity compared to the disciples of Zhu Xuan School.

If the two knew what Chu Xun was thinking, they would definitely cry out that it was injustice, because they both came from independent cultivator backgrounds, and could not compare with the foundation of Zhu Xuan Sect. They were ordered to come and pick someone up today, and they also had the magic weapons given by their superiors with them. Otherwise, with their abilities, they would not be much better than ordinary cultivators.
