She is Jianxiu

Chapter 1287

Taiyuan Taoist Sect, Jingyetan.

The sky was full of rosy clouds and the sun was shining. It was already past noon, the morning mist had dissipated and water vapor was in the air.

A maid in a silk dress opened a beaded curtain, and three or four monks in gorgeous clothes with handsome figures walked inside with solemn expressions.

In the middle of the main hall stands a copper alchemy furnace with an image of thousands of people hearing the truth engraved on the top. The ears on both sides of the furnace are shaped like animal heads with angry eyes and open mouths, and every detail is clearly visible. Dozens of boys can be seen sitting upright next to the alchemy furnace. Those who are slightly closer to the front are fanning themselves slowly with cattail leaves fans in their hands. There are also people reciting scriptures and meditating with their heads bowed. Everything is in order as far as the eye can see, and no one dares to look around or be distracted.

Even if someone walked in, these boys would not move at all, as if they were unaware and just went about their business. They were all extremely obedient.

Because of the presence of these people, when you walk into the hall, you can hear the sound of whispering and reciting, which is as uniform as if one person is speaking, so it does not feel chaotic.

After entering the hall, these people sat on both sides. They did not talk to each other, but only nodded to each other. Then they closed their eyes and rested, nodding slowly along with the sound of scriptures chanting in the hall.

About half an hour later, eight maids carrying incense burners walked out slowly from the inner room. These people immediately opened their eyes, stood up from their seats, bowed their heads, and worshipped the newcomers in unison.

But the fragrant wind arrived before the hem of his clothes. He had to wait until the eight maids lined up on the steps before he stepped into the outer hall with his wide sleeves. Judging from his figure, he must be a tall and straight man. Looking at his face, one cannot help but say that he was beautiful and handsome. He wore a red five-treasure scarf on his head, a water cloud-patterned crane cloak of the same color, and a pair of black shoes with jade dragons and pearls. His attire was extraordinary, which made him look more solemn and majestic.

After calling the four people in front of him to stand up, the phoenix-eyed woman on the left bowed and said, "Ancestor, Zuo Hongcan returned to the sect with all the disciples yesterday. Then he hurried to Heyuanqiu to pay a visit to the sect leader. I think it was about the matter of Jienan Tianhai."

Perhaps because of the mention of this important event, the expressions on the four people's faces were not relaxed.

Xiao Fu looked down, raised his fingers slightly, and moved them, knocking twice, and said, "The headmaster has already made arrangements for this matter, so don't worry about it."

The phoenix-eyed woman paused for a moment, but did not dare to speak again, so she nodded and retreated to her seat. Then she saw the young man with red lips and white teeth and flying eyebrows step forward, bowed and asked Xiao Fu: "My grandson is ignorant, but I don't know why the ancestor is unwilling to go to Tianhai. I thought that if the ancestor goes, my Xiao family can also take the lead and see what Zhao Yan is up to!"

Although this young man looks young, he actually has the cultivation of Dongxu. It's just that his experience is a bit shallow and his foundation is insufficient. He can only be regarded as the lowest among the four. Logically, he should not have the say. However, he is the direct great-great-grandson of Xiao Fu, the only one left in this generation, so he is closer to him in terms of blood relationship, which is the envy of others and a blessing from nature.

Sure enough, Xiao Fu did not frown after hearing this, but just closed his eyes, his tone was not happy or angry: "Zhuo'er is still young, and has only been in this area for a few hundred years. He is really reckless when dealing with things."

The young man was not annoyed at all. He smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "My ancestor is right."

The other three people remained calm. Seeing the boy's fawning attitude, they couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts. However, because Xiao Fu was here, no one dared to show it. "Now that we don't know the inside story of the change in Tianhai, it's not good to go there rashly," Xiao Fu looked at him, then straightened up, and said, "You must know that the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance has been in the South for a long time, and has won over many cultivators in the name of swordsmanship. Let's not talk about Liang Yanchong. Xi Zhenshi and Cheng Xueying are not good people. Even if we rush over, it is impossible to seize the initiative from these two people. In addition, although the head of this generation has prestige, he is not from the six clans after all. Once he wants to do something big, he will be alone. He still needs to discuss with our six clans. By then, why worry about not having the opportunity for our clan to take action?"

He spoke his mind, and when he talked about Shi Rucheng, he showed little respect. He smiled faintly, raised his eyebrows and said, "However, if the headmaster is sincere enough, I can go there. It's a pity that he has the wrong idea and holds on to what he has in his hands too tightly. In this case, why should I sell him good things?"

After hearing this, they immediately understood what was going on. They knew that Shi Rucheng was still unwilling to take out the Book of Life and Death Merits to share with the six clans. Therefore, not only Xiao Fu, but the other clans also chose to remain in place.

As for Xi Ze, although he was raised by the Zhou family and ascended to heaven, he has been estranged from the six clans since he joined the sect leader. It is clear that his actions this time were definitely not instructed by the Zhou clan.

  Then there is no need to worry about anything else!

Xiao Zhuo rolled his eyes, then pretended to be suddenly enlightened, complimented the old ancestor on his wisdom, and then sat back happily, ignoring the looks from others.

At this time, the white-haired old man on the right stood up at the same time. His eyelids trembled, as if he was not very energetic. His body was hunched forward, as if he was in his twilight years. He lowered his head and said to Xiao Fu, "Grandmaster, I am also worried that the change in Tianhai is related to the Golden Crow under the formation. After all, this kind of strange phenomenon has never happened before. I am afraid that something went wrong with the formation. Although the Zhouyuan Formation Sect has been killed, there are more people who know how to break the formation than just Taiyuan. What if Zhaoyan has changed his mind, or if he has already known the arrangement of the ancestor."

He pursed his lips, without raising his eyelids, and said calmly: "It's not impossible that he wants to fight to the death with me."

Xiao Fu nodded after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Your concerns are reasonable, but the master's long-term plan is beyond our ability to guess. If it is really Zhao Yan who secretly broke the formation, then he will be guilty of the crime of all living beings in the world, and should be punished by all races. The master also mentioned this matter. I think if our sect wants to succeed, we really can't avoid Zhao Yan. For everything, let's wait for the master's explanation."

He thought that if Huanyuan hadn't been spying outside, the blame for this strange phenomenon in Tianhai would have fallen on Zhao Yan even if it was unfounded. Moreover, with the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance established by Taiyi Jinxian here, how could the loss of Tianhai not be Zhao Yan's fault for dereliction of duty?

I actually hope this matter is really related to Zhao Yan.

While all the fairy mountains in the north were alarmed by the strange changes in the sky and sea, Zhao Yu was able to find peace.

Since she had already refined the Three Yin Swords, she had not encountered any major bottlenecks in condensing the Earth Soul. However, it would take many years to accumulate these things, which could not be considered an easy task.

Just looking at the fact that it took her a full 120 years to finally break through, you can understand how difficult it was.

People here don't know the change of seasons, but they know that their realm is rising. Zhao Yu opened his eyes in peace, and it seemed like only a blink of an eye had passed. One must concentrate his mind to know the changes of time.
