Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1049 Deceit
The reddish color of the setting sun was still dancing in the sky. The demon in gorgeous clothes turned around, hugged his cloak warmly, and looked at the real person on the side:

"Master Chi, can this be considered a demon?"

Chi Buzi also looked at him, his expression seemed calm and even matter-of-fact, and said:

"He appears to be powerful but is actually weak, despicable and incompetent, and is nothing more than an evil demon."

The monster laughed and said:

"Isn't that just right? My follower only used his magical powers to influence the woman, and all his actions came from his heart, from that one bright sun of evil. In my opinion, that is enough."

"There is such a use. Minghuang has no time to take care of things. He can help."

"Minghuang... is that Li Zhouwei..."

Chi Buzi felt quite strange and suspicious. The monster looked calm and looked at him carefully. He said:

"The clear pond in Chenghai holds the green white dragon, and the tripod is in shape."

Chi Buzi took a sip of wine and replied:
"So you are the White Dragon Prince... I am Chi Buzi, a casual cultivator."

Of course Chi Buzi had heard of his name. Ding Jiao was a genius of the White Dragon clan, a descendant of the Dragon King. He had pure and noble bloodline and was one of the most noble species of the Chi clan!
Dragons are lustful and extremely ruthless. It is difficult for them to have children among the same clan or even among siblings. Instead, they have many children with various monsters, most of whom are treated as slaves... and only a few with pure bloodlines are qualified to be dragon children... For example, the water monster king Naxu is a noble monster perch, also the son of the Beihai Dragon King, but he calls the offspring born to a dragon like Ding Jiao his master!

'What's more, he is a descendant of Dongfang You, and a direct descendant of the Dragon Lord. If the Dragon's pursuit of truth is successful, his status will surely rise, and he will most likely be a person on the golden throne in the future!'

The immortal slowly withdrew his gaze, made a subtle swallowing motion, and replied:
"I think he is just a pitiful villain. The Mingyang fruit position has affected Li Zhouwei and his descendants. This is an unquestionable fact. Why bother to do this?"

The Dragon King shook his head, looking puzzled:
"This is not simple. According to Taoism, Minghuang is favored by the fruit position, so he is naturally born with a bright face. However, he is scheming, hypocritical, and not bound by supernatural powers. Who knows what he is like? My elders always feel that he has more human nature than gold nature, and it is difficult for him to achieve Taoism..."

"They tried to test him, but failed. But they didn't have to test him directly."

The Dragon King laughed and said:
"What the father keeps silent about will surely be spoken out by his innocent, young son. All sons in the world bear their father's secrets and will speak them out without realizing it, thus making their father aware of his own ugliness - this is what you monks call the Yang Ji sin."

"It would be better to test Li Jiangnian. If he really has the same evil as Mingyang, then how could his father not have it too?"

Chi Buzi remained silent, but he was puzzled:
"The Dragon Element is testing Li Zhouwei to determine the possibility of Mingyang. This move is indeed brilliant, but what does it have to do with me? First of all, I will not take the position of Mingyang, and secondly, I have nothing to do with the Li family. Why are you telling me this? It's as if I am a member of the Li family..."

Ding Jiao shook his head and said:

"But my father still doesn't like it. He always feels that... after he ascends the throne... he is a true monarch, how can he allow himself to be plotted against? He is too uncontrollable... But I am different."

The pair of light blue eyes flickered, and Ding Jiao smiled:
"I am certain that the prophecy will come true, and I also think that my dragon clan needs to join forces with these True Lords..."

Hearing this, Chi Buzi finally became a little gloomy and said:
"Oh?"

Ding Jiao said calmly:

"However...my father and I both agree with the Great Immortal's decision."

Chi Buzi felt cold in his heart when he heard this, but he smiled:
"Agree? How can I not agree? Not to mention you dragons, even Lu Shui agrees very much... who wouldn't agree if it could bring out the golden nature of that feathered serpent? It's just that no one cares about me... I will naturally die quietly on the side, do you think I should agree too! "

The Dragon King stared at him quietly, as if he could see the emotion in his eyes. He sighed and replied:

"There are some things that Li Zhouwei can't get away from, and he may not be able to contact the people behind him. It's not easy for me to talk to him... But it's the same if I talk to you, Chi Buzi."

He turned his head, his light blue dragon eyes staring at Chi Buzi quietly:
"Great Master, am I right?"

Chi Buzi narrowed his eyes suddenly, and a strong doubt emerged in his heart, but his nature of being good at disguise made him look gloomy. He said nothing, took a sip of wine, and whispered:

"I am confused. How does the Dragon King see this?"

His words made Ding Jiao smile slightly, and he leaned forward, very calmly:

"Back then, you were only in the middle stage of Purple Mansion, and you were still trapped in the hands of Lord Du, unable to act independently. But you took advantage of his retreat and went to Moon Lake. Since then, your personality has changed drastically. You have traveled through the seas, often behaved abnormally, and for no reason you crossed the Purple Mansion—for no reason at all!"

His smile gradually faded, and he replied:

"Master Du may not know these things, but I, the Dragon Clan, know them very well. Without a big shot from my Dragon Clan to handle the details for you, do you think Master Du is Bai Cheng's True Lord? Do you think you have the life to live to this day?"

Ding Jiao's eyes were cold, revealing a bit of shock, and the unfinished words were already very clear:

"You went to great lengths to visit Penglai, holding the [Xuan Dan Tai Yin Bai Yue Gui Zhi] that appeared out of nowhere, forging that cave, and fooling Chun Yi Dao around - we saw it all, and we cleaned up the mess for you!"

"It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go. Our Lord Du has never hesitated!"

Chi Buzi lowered his head and squinted his eyes. His mind was clearly shaking like a mountain and cracking like an earth. Yet, his mind was blank, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss. He thought to himself:

'Me? What have I done?'

Ding Jiao's attitude didn't seem like he was deceiving him. As a descendant of the Dragon King, there was no need for him to use such unfounded nonsense to deceive him. Either the Dragon King in front of him had misunderstood something... or... the dragon clan had really covered up some mistake for him and didn't let Lu Shui know!

'Why didn't I know anything about this!'

But no matter how confused he was by the other party's words, no matter how hard he racked his brains, Chi Buzi remained calm. Ding Jiao smiled and said:

"Which family in the world can produce the [Xuandan Taiyin White Laurel Branch]?"

"The technique was given to you by Master Xuan An, right? It was on the Moon Watching Lake, under Qing Yiyuan's guidance, that you suddenly woke up, gained unknown benefits, and went out to the world!"

"Xuan An... who is this sir..."

Chi Buzi was completely confused by the name and didn't know how to answer him. He simply lowered his head and eyes, saying nothing, revealing a complicated expression.

Ding Jiao waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't answer, he said in a flat tone:
"Don't worry. Now that Wei Xuanyin has handed the [Xinyou Luze Seal] to you, it represents the affirmation of Zhixuanxie and even Luoxia Mountain. With us as a guarantee, even if Lushui finds out something, he will not kill you."

He smiled with a hint of interest and replied:

"But you are in Luchi, and Lushui is full of suspicion. How can you protect Lushui from colluding with your plan, and how can you let the fox tribe contact you... It is something that He has to solve himself."

Chi Buzi was such a great man that after hearing these two sentences, he suddenly had an idea in his mind:
'First... this Lord Xuan An must be the True Lord behind the Fox Clan...'

"And Moon Lake... must belong to this True Lord's territory. That's why Ding Jiao regards me as this True Lord's man, whether it's a misunderstanding or the truth..."

'The so-called Li family also has the shadow of this True Lord behind it - at least this True Lord hopes that Li Zhouwei will become a Taoist! And as a Great True Lord who represents his interests, I am used as a mouthpiece by the Dragon Clan!'

'That is to say, in Long's eyes, Li Zhouwei and I have a very close relationship. Li Jiangnian may be involved in some transactions and some proofs between the two True Lords. I am similar to a representative of someone, so they invited me to watch such a good show! '

The previous doubts suddenly disappeared, and Chi Buzi finally understood the reason why Ding Jiao came to see him specially. However, when he discovered this hidden truth, Chi Buzi was shocked, and then he realized another situation - no matter what, he must now be the man of this so-called Zhenjun Xuan'an!

He raised his eyebrows and said softly:

"Dragon King, don't worry about this matter."

Ding Jiao just smiled, but Chi Buzi's ambition suddenly expanded and filled his entire heart in an instant.

What is the fundamental reason why Chi Buzi doesn't trust the dragon element? It's because the other party doesn't need him, and he doesn't have enough background to negotiate with the other party! If he can really borrow the background of the real master, it will be impossible to make the fake play real, but it will not be difficult to surrender... He still has a chance!
'The most urgent task is to find out the situation of this Master Xuan An!'

His mind worked like lightning, he withdrew his hand, with an inexplicable look on his face, and replied:
"In that case, the noble lord already knew that I wanted to repair the water in the palace."

His response was very appropriate. Ding Jiao laughed and replied:

"How could I not know? The water in the palace belongs to Qingxuan. In this world, how many people have the ability to touch it?"

These words made Chi Buzi feel awe-inspiring again.

Ding Jiao stopped laughing and saw that he still didn't answer, so he sighed in his heart:
"Xuan An is in poor condition indeed... There is [Qing Yi Yuan Xin Yi] in Wangyue Lake, which none of the adults can predict, but Lord Tang is personally guarding the lake! Qing Yu was sent to lure the Si family into the lake for a while, and then the Si family was exiled and exterminated... The defense is solid..."

His mind raced, but Chi Buzi raised his eyebrows, shook his head wisely, and said calmly:

"So that's how it is. Senior Zeng Zan's trip today is not without reason. It was the Crown Prince who allowed me to play this role."

Ding Jiao laughed and replied:
"Zeng Zan is close to Black Dragon, so this thing is allowed to you by Guang Gu."

Speaking of Guang Fou, Ding Jiao did not have too many complaints. Unlike his father, the Dragon King Beihai, this White Dragon Prince was more ambitious and driven. Although he did not like the Black Dragon clan, he still had some good feelings towards Guang Fou. He also hoped that more True Lords would get closer to the Dragon clan. However, it was difficult to disobey his father's orders... otherwise he would not have volunteered today to come and test Li Jiangnian!
Chi Buzi's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at him quietly, while Ding Jiao said softly:

"Lord Xuan An was willing to take out the [Xuandan Taiyin White Moon Cinnamon Branch] and hand it over to Chun Yi. My dragon clan was delighted to see this. When Lord Xuan An heard about this, he was also very impressed... He said that Lord Xuan An finally saw the situation clearly and made sacrifices, and no longer wanted to hold on to the so-called white..."

Chi Buzi frowned and took the opportunity to whisper:
"I am not clear about this matter. Please give me some advice."

Ding Jiao frowned and said earnestly:
"When [Xie Xun] died while trying to attain the Dao, it had already proven that there might be something wrong with the position of Taiyin, but everyone was still wary of him. I don't know which True Lord specially wrote a book [Taiyin Seeking Mystery Method] and secretly inserted it into the inheritance of the Pure One Dao... He forged [Xie Xun's] will and secretly deceived them."

"This [Taiyin Seeking Mystery] is a good way to break through. In fact, all the secret arts also point directly to the root of Taiyin. It combines the life of the seeker with the spiritual objects of [Taiyin Remaining Position] in order to respond to the main position and explore the true and false of the master of the fruit position from the mist of Taiyin..."

"It's hard to tell whether the fruit position is real or fake, but the master of Taiyin back then left a trick to lock up a remaining position, making it bright, so that future generations can ascend to the throne... It was this trick that allowed Qiu Xuan's secret method to take advantage of it."

The Dragon King flicked his sleeves lightly and whispered:
"The spiritual object [Taiyin Seeking Mysterious Method] can greatly advance the speculations of the True Lords about Taiyin. Wait for the spiritual object [Xuan Dan Taiyin White Moon Cinnamon Branch] to sense Taixu and find out the truth. Perhaps the position of Taiyin will be settled."

The sky gradually darkened. Chi Buzi sat in his seat and said quietly:

"Then what are you waiting for, my Lords? What do the Dragons need?"

Ding Jiao answered quietly:
"When the world is at peace, the True Qi is achieved, the True Dragon appears, Mingyang is defeated, the Supreme Witch returns to his position, and the matters in the hands of the various families are resolved, and all the adults return to their positions, [Donghuatian] will be able to fall. The mystery of Yin and Yang that has troubled us until now must have a result. As for you..."

"Can the real person wait until then?"

Ding Jiao whispered:
“As for us… I don’t know how the master will arrange for you, but my master hopes… the great master will be convinced by this role, and his magical powers will be perfect. As a trump card of our dragon clan, we will intervene in Jiangbei at the critical moment!”

The monster looked at him deeply and said calmly:

"This is to help you, to help him, and to help us."

Chi Buzi remained silent for a long time. The person in front of him had already disappeared like the wind. The huge beast sank silently into the seabed, and the huge palace that was shining in the night also disappeared into the sea without leaving any trace.

"Xuan An... I need to investigate carefully..."

The bright moon hung high in the sky, shining down. Chi Buzi looked at the empty sea, and the emotions in his heart gradually faded. He stared deeply at the ebb and flow of the tide:

"But Lushui...are you really ignoring me?"

'Why would a person like him indulge me like this... He doesn't even care that I join the dragon camp, nor does he mind that there might be an enemy of the True Lord level in the future...'

'Is this possible?'

He slowly raised his head and looked towards the bright moon:
"Or... Ding Jiao and Long Shu are also deceiving me. They are as sure as Lu Shui that... I will not succeed."
