ninety thousand miles

Chapter 540 Collusion
Zhu Qingyun paused for a moment and said, "If you want to repair the house, you can ask a familiar monk to set up more barrier mechanisms in it. Maybe some monsters will fall into the trap."

"That's right," Li Chuan hadn't thought of this before. He said, "There is a spiritual formation in the backyard. It will be activated when it senses danger. It was also arranged by Master Jiang. This time, the main idea is to build a few more rooms so that when friends come, they can live more spaciously."

"If...if it can be like Goose Master, that is, it looks small from the outside, but you'll find a whole new world inside," Li Chuan thought, and all kinds of ideas came to his mind. "I also want a secret room where I can test some things. I just don't know if Senior Sister Yao can build it. If not, just add a few more rooms and reinforce them to prevent them from leaking in the winter and dripping with rain in the summer."

"Senior Sister Yao?" Zhu Qingyun asked.

"Yes, you know her?" Li Chuan asked.

Zhu Qingyun shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of her. Is she good at repairing houses?"

"Yes, when we were in Yashan County, the demons attacked one day and a row of houses collapsed. Senior Sister Yao raised her hands and they all stood up again. The layout of the houses was exactly the same as before." Li Chuan briefly told Zhu Qingyun about what happened that day. "I have seen many amazing spells, but it is the one about repairing houses that makes me want to learn."

"So you asked her to help you repair the house?" Zhu Qingyun asked.

"No, it was later in the Qinling Secret Realm." Li Chuan mentioned a few more things about the Qinling Secret Realm. He said, "At that time, I thought it was over. I suddenly wanted to wake up in Yunqiao Township and lie on my bed. Then, somehow, I asked Sister Yao to help me repair the house."

At this time, Li Chuan remembered that he had not yet introduced Yao Shuang's identity to Zhu Qingyun. He said, "She is a cultivator from Xuanyue Sect. Besides her, there are also Liu Yang, Taoist Jiang, Master Wukong, Brother Jiang, and my two brothers who came to Beijing this time. Liu Yang is also from Xuanyue Sect. You may have seen him last time in Yanqing Mountain."

Zhu Qingyun had indeed remembered it, and asked, "The one with eight swords on his back?"

"That's him," Li Chuan picked up the book on the table, flipped through a few pages and said, "In addition to recuperating, I have a lot of things to do. In fact, it's more appropriate to stay in the Four Gods Palace, whether it's looking for information or asking for advice, or making a big fuss... But I want to go back in my heart. I have to spend a few days at home anyway, even if I can only sit in the backyard or take a few steps."

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Li Chuan and Zhu Qingyun turned their heads at the same time.

Bo Yiliang walked in, glanced at the two men and said, "I got the tiger demon's confession. My master asked me to bring it to you."

Li Chuan stood up and took the case file handed to him by Bo Yiliang. After flipping through a few pages, he saw the words "Black-Faced King of Xuanshui Mountain" and asked in surprise, "He was originally a demon following the Black Horned King?"

Then he turned back to the first page and sat down to read it carefully.

Bo Yiliang sat down on the other side of the table. After sitting for a while, he said to Zhu Qingyun, "I have also finished interrogating the people you brought back from Tianyun City."

"How?" Zhu Qingyun asked.

Bo Yiliang replied, "The Zhu family is in collusion with the Rock Snake King of Pujintun. Fortunately, the first place we took was Lanshan Pavilion. If we had followed the original plan, the Zhu family would have turned against us halfway through the battle... That would have been fun."

Hearing this, Li Chuan raised his head and asked, "Is the Tianyun Zhu family in contact with the demon?"

Bo Yiliang said: "They all married a girl from a branch family."

"This..." Li Chuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

He heard Zhu Qingyun sneer and say, "First she married an immortal, then a monk, and now she can even marry a monster. It's true that each generation of the Tianyun and Zhu family is getting worse than the previous one."

"Then are we going to attack Puzhintun again?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's still Puzhintun." Zhu Qingyun said.

Bo Yiliang explained: "From the perspective of location, Pujintun is the easiest to attack. As long as we surround the southwest, we can set up a formation and wait for the enemy to come. Besides, the rock snake monster is a loner, so few friends will come to rescue it..."

"You can get married now, so you are not too lonely, right?" Li Chuan couldn't help but say. Bo Yiliang glanced at him and said nothing.

Zhu Qingyun seemed even angrier: "Originally, my master and I planned to spend 40 to 50 years to slowly turn the Zhu family into a branch of the Imperial Observatory, but now it seems that we should just clean it up directly."

"Don't be impulsive..." Li Chuan advised, "The most important thing is to kill the monster."

Zhu Qingyun said: "That's what I'm worried about."

"Because of what happened last time, they were very submissive at first, and I was almost deceived by them. I thought that as long as it was beneficial to exterminating monsters, I could turn a blind eye to some things."

"But... the day before I planned to talk to my grandmother about the monster extermination, I discovered that there were monsters in Tianyun City."

"It's normal for demon cultivators to come in and out of Tianyun City, but those demons have only been in cultivation for one or two hundred years and have just transformed into humans. There was only one with a higher cultivation level. I followed them quietly for a few days, and then..."

"Do you remember the little beggar who inherited the legacy?" Zhu Qingyun asked.

"Remember, what happened to him?" Li Chuan asked.

"Those little demons are going to harm him." Zhu Qingyun said.

"Is he okay?" Li Chuan asked.

"Well, he was very clever. He dodged and even plotted against the monsters." Zhu Qingyun said, "I continued to follow the monsters and found an old servant of the Zhu family waiting for them. I knew that the mastermind behind this was the Zhu family."

"Tianyun City is the territory of the Zhu family. It is difficult to investigate it clearly, and I don't have time. So after finishing other things, I made an excuse that my master wanted to see me for something important, and said that I was short of trusted people in the Imperial Observatory. Then my grandmother asked me to take a few people back."

"Among these people, some were chosen by my grandmother, and some were chosen by me, including the old servant. After I came back, I threw them into the Monster Hunting Department to let them see the consequences of the evil deeds of monsters."

"Then... when will we take action against the Zhu family?" Li Chuan asked.

Zhu Qingyun replied: "It will be after the beginning of spring."

"You, be careful." Li Chuan said.

"Don't worry, I just said it in anger, but those who collude with the monsters must die." Zhu Qingyun said, "And the eldest brother will go with me, but as for Pujintun, all the pressure will be on Master Chang."

She looked at Li Chuan with clear eyes, "When the demon suppression in Pujintun is over, you should also be back from the Cangwu Wilderness, right?"

"It should be about the same." said Li Chuan.

"It's almost time for dinner," Bo Yiliang interrupted. "I asked the shopkeeper to reserve a private room for us. Shall we go over now?"

Li Chuan suddenly felt hungry, and he said, "Okay, I haven't eaten for a long time."

Zhu Qingyun's expression also eased a little. She said, "Let's go. Oh, by the way, call our senior brother. He should have come out from Master."
