Journey to the head

Lu Qian was panting heavily, and the extremely severe pain made his body curl up involuntarily. He tried hard to raise his sleeves to wipe the blood from his mouth, but the sleeves were already covered with blood plasma.

Since I entered the Tao, have I ever been treated like this?

In the sect, he is the most respected leader among more than a thousand disciples. He has the ultimate authority within the framework of the sect rules. As long as he wants, he can decide life and death with just a thought.

In Cangzhou, he is the famous and powerful Tian Yuanzi. He has made a great reputation through battles and markets. He is recognized as a first-class figure among the Jindan. A decision he makes may shake the northwest at any time.

But now, all these glories have become a joke. In front of Chang Qingzi, he is just a fish on the chopping board, an ant that can be kneaded at will!

How embarrassing, how humiliating, and how powerless
I have to admit that the current situation is completely out of my control. In the past, even when I was displaced and started from humble beginnings, the direction of things was always under my control and within my calculations. Even when disaster struck, I had a plan to deal with it.

But now, he had come to the Fairy Cave to cooperate with the investigation, but was directly involved in the internal struggle of Taiyi Paradise. He was like a fragile insect caught in the fight between two tigers. The mere aftermath of the air wave could crush him into powder!
Too weak, too powerless.

Lu Qian lowered his head again, hiding his eyes. The resentment, humiliation and anger were burning in his heart, almost burning him out.

My future should not be ruined here, I must find a way to leave.

I will become stronger little by little, and lead the Yunshan Sect to the top of this world step by step!
Today’s humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold!
But now Lu Qian took a deep breath, suppressed the severe pain, stayed awake, and used his consciousness as fast as lightning to reason and calculate.

How can we avoid this disaster?

Either he serves Changqingzi's faction as a dog and gives false testimony to frame Master Heming; or he stands on Master Heming's side, fights to the end with gritted teeth, refuses to accept any threats, and pushes the fate of himself and the Yunshan sect into the abyss.

The key is to choose to support Master Heming. Will there be any reward?

First of all, we must clearly realize that myself and the Yunshan Sect are just insignificant ants in the eyes of Taiyi Paradise. True Lord Heming only looks up to me, a Jindan from the lower realm, because of various past events, and that's all.

Even if he takes the initiative to stand on the side of Master Heming, what choice will he make when facing the angry Changqingzi faction?

Or maybe this can't be considered as taking sides. I just told the truth about the arrest of Tan Yunxing. Master Heming may not be very grateful.

Even if I wanted to tell the elders about my current tragic experience, sue Changqingzi's faction, and help Master Heming suppress them, it would be useless.

Because Chang Qingzi would never give me a chance. When the Elders' Council brought me to trial, he only needed to feed me a magical medicine, and my injuries would be healed immediately. Then I would change into a new set of clothes, and there would be no signs of abuse or injury.

Words are not enough. Do you think the Council of Elders will believe in a golden elixir from the lower world or the Changqingzi faction?
In addition, the Elders' Council of Taiyi Paradise is not clear about whether it will reward or punish me. If Taiyi Paradise finally decides to punish me for teaching my disciples improperly and causing a disaster, I'm afraid True Lord Heming will be eager to cut off all ties with me.

Even if everything goes well, Heming Zhenjun is loyal enough to protect himself from Changqingzi's faction. But you can't be a thief for a thousand days. Can Heming Zhenjun stay in Yunshan Sect all day? As long as he is distracted, Changqingzi's faction can wipe out Yunshan Sect with just a little move!
"Have you thought it over?" Chang Qingzi grabbed Lu Qian again, and seeing that he was covered in blood, he held him far away with a look of disgust on his face. "If you insist on challenging my patience, it will only be ten or a hundred times more painful than it is now."

"I have ten thousand ways to torture a tiny Jindan like you."

Lu Qian looked at Chang Qingzi coldly, and made many calculations in his mind at that moment.

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and laughed: "Ha, I don't have the habit of being a dog for others!"

My Yunshan Sect and I have had enough of the feeling of having our life and death controlled by others!

After rebelling against the Xuanguang Sect, the Yunshan Sect was no longer at the mercy of others!
What's more, if you really join Changqingzi's side, you won't even be treated as a dog. It would be ok to just throw you away after use. The only thing you're afraid of is falling into endless coercion and never being able to turn over.

Besides, if Chang Qingzi stands on his side and frames He Ming Zhen Jun, won’t He Ming Zhen Jun be angry and punish Lu Qian and Yunshan Sect afterwards?
So I absolutely cannot agree to Changqingzi!

Chang Qingzi was stunned for a moment. He did not expect to get such an answer. He stretched out his hand and clenched it, and the golden thread net in Lu Qian's body tightened even more.

"How ridiculous! You are just an ant. It is your blessing to be my dog! How many people dream of being my dog ​​but still can't do it!"

Lu Qian's face was pale and his breath was weak: "Then please find someone else."

Chang Qingzi was so angry that he laughed. His eyes were full of cruelty: "It seems that the suffering I have given you is not enough."

Lu Qian forced a smile and said, "The Elders' Council will summon me soon. I advise you to give me some time to clean up the mess so as to avoid any mistakes."

Looking at Lu Qian who refused to give in and refused to yield, Chang Qingzi's face looked extremely ugly.

"Very good, you are such a fool, if you don't accept my toast, I will punish you."

"It is true that I cannot kill you now, but after you are questioned, I will let you and your Yunshan Sect know what true purgatory is."

"The pain you are feeling now is just an appetizer."

He waved his hand lightly, and the golden net began to vibrate and tighten at an extremely slow speed. The pain made Lu Qian unable to suppress his screams, and his body curled up completely.

Now that I have made my choice, I must stick to it.

I have one last resort.
After this return, I will no longer care about being exposed and will directly hide all the monks of the sect into the Yuan Pin Pearl! Before the crisis is completely resolved, no one can step into the world again.

If Heming Zhenjun can protect me for a while, I will take the Yuanpin Pearl to seek shelter with him. If Heming Zhenjun is unwilling to accept me, I will take the Yuanpin Pearl to Xianyun Islands to find Hai Shuangyao.

There are many experts on the Xianyun Islands, and it is a place where the powerful offshore dragon clan lives together. Taiyi Paradise has no control over that place, so perhaps it can avoid being hunted down by the Changqingzi faction.

I can even take the Yuan Pin Pearl to seek refuge with the underground blind snake clan! Perhaps with the help of the underground hundreds of clans, the underground demon clan holy city, the fifth heavenly monarch's heavenly entrance and other cover, I can avoid it for a while.

However, by doing so, the foundation that the Yunshan Sect had worked so hard to build was completely destroyed, and its development came to a complete standstill. Moreover, since there were no spiritual veins in the pearl, it was difficult for the disciples to practice, and if delayed for too long it would even affect their cultivation.

How unwilling it is, but as long as you can survive, there is still hope.

One day, the Yunshan Sect will revive.

"What? Lu Qian was taken away by Changqingzi?!" Master Heming shouted angrily.

Chang Qingzi took Lu Qian away without any cover-up, because he knew that this floating island was the core of the core of Taiyi Paradise, the most important power center, with many restrictions, and it was impossible to search.

As long as Lu Qian is hidden in some corner, he will be extremely difficult to find unless Chang Qingzi comes out on his own initiative.

Therefore, Master Heming did not waste his energy looking for Lu Qian, but went directly to find Changqingzi's master, Master Liuxu.

If this matter was not instructed by True Lord Liuxu, he would not believe it even if you kill him!

After the initial report was made to the Council of Elders, the Council of Elders arranged for relevant personnel to come to Cangzhou to inquire. It must be that the Six Void Master used his power and means to send Chang Qingzi to replace the original inquiring personnel, and took Lu Qian away directly in front of everyone.

Zhenjun Heming didn't know at first. After a while, he saw that Zhenjun Miaomiao Xuanjun, Qiancheng Lingjun and Zhenren Chiyu had finished their inquiries, but Lu Qian had not responded yet. He asked one more question and finally found out.

He suppressed his anger and went to find Liuxu Zhenjun. But the other party seemed to have guessed that he would come, and had already set up a tea table in the courtyard and brewed immortal tea, looking leisurely and contented. Heming Zhenjun pushed away the teacup he handed over and snorted coldly: "Put away your hypocritical tricks. I think our relationship is not good enough for us to sit down and drink tea around the stove."

It's not just bad, it's simply an enemy.

The master of Liuxu Zhenjun was also one of the Seven Azure Dragons, and he was at odds with the master of Heming Zhenjun. Naturally, there was hostility and competition between Liuxu Zhenjun and Heming Zhenjun.

In addition, True Lord Heming was very dissatisfied with the way True Lord Liuxu behaved, and conflicts between the two had occurred more than once or twice.

This time when Lu Qian was taken away by Changqingzi, True Lord Heming had already guessed True Lord Liuxu's intention, and his heart was chilled.

True Lord Liuxu took back the teacup without any concern and said with a smile, "Since you are not here to taste tea, what else can you do for me, Senior Brother Heming?"

Heming Zhenjun said bluntly: "Don't pretend! You know it in your heart! I warn you, even if you throw dirty water on my head, it will not reduce your guilt. On the contrary, you will be guilty of persecuting the monks in the lower world!"

It turned out that Taiyi Le Tu governed Cangzhou by combining the "garrison system" with the "patrol system".

Although Taiyi Paradise is usually high above and roaming in the void, and Hedao Immortal Lord is looking for the opportunity to become an immortal and ascend to heaven in the endless void, and does not pay attention to the petty quarrels and conquests within Cangzhou, they must always maintain surveillance to prevent the occurrence of a war involving more than a dozen states, or a vicious incident that causes the deaths of billions of mortals, or an incident involving the Heavenly Lord.

Taiyi Paradise divides the entire Yuheng Continent's ninety-nine states into four parts, each of which is supervised by four "garrison envoys" on a daily basis. Four "patrol envoys" are responsible for patrolling back and forth and handling emergencies.

Cangzhou, which was being wreaked havoc by the Sixth Heavenly Lord's minions this time, is within the jurisdiction of the "garrison commander" Liuxu Zhenjun.

Such a huge change has occurred, and it also involves the Sixth Heavenly Lord. Naturally, Liuxu Zhenjun cannot escape the crime of negligence and dereliction of duty.

Although it is difficult for the garrison commander to detect in advance the means of the Heavenly Sovereign, rules are rules and someone has to take the blame. If it really happens, the garrison commander can only blame himself for his bad luck.

But when True Lord Liuxu found out that the person who handled the matter happened to be the "Patrol Envoy" True Lord Heming, he came up with his own plans and plans.

It’s okay for me to be punished, but you, Master Heming, must also accept your punishment!

"Brother Heming, what are you talking about?" Six Void True Lord said slowly, "I never said I would evade responsibility. If the punishment is imposed, I will bear it all. But merits and demerits will be determined. I don't know whether you have failed in your duties. I will know when I hear you at the elders' meeting."

"Besides, how could I persecute the monks in the lower realm? My disciple Chang Qingzi politely invited Lu Qian to leave, ensuring that he felt at home and warm. You can't talk nonsense."

"We are so polite to Lu Qian, so he will tell you the truth. But don't be too surprised if he doesn't meet your expectations."

True Lord Heming's face darkened. He certainly knew what True Lord Liuxu meant.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly sneered and said, "Junior Brother Liuxu, I'm kind enough to tell you this. This Lu Qian is no ordinary golden elixir. If you are really polite, it's fine. But if you torture him, you might end up shooting yourself in the foot!"

True Lord Liuxu paused holding the teacup and raised his eyebrows: "Oh? He is just a small lower realm Jindan, what does he have to do with it?"

Zhenjun Heming smiled, and suddenly he sat down calmly, took a teacup and filled it gently.

"So Junior Brother Liuxu didn't know?"

"Even the Council of Elders was almost deceived by the token of the Curse Kingdom Heavenly Monarch and almost handed over Cangzhou. It was Lu Qian who was clear and pointed to the key points and exposed the true face of the forbidden religion. It was he who speculated the Sixth Heavenly Monarch!"

"If it were just this, it would be fine. The key point is that the forbidden sect used a pseudo-immortal method to trap the cultivators of Cangzhou. Even I couldn't move the space blockade. In the end, I had to use the palm of the universe to forcibly break it."

“But Lu Qian can move in this pseudo-immortal technique!”

With a bang, the tea stove on the table was knocked over by Liuxu Zhenjun who suddenly stood up. He widened his eyes and shouted, "This is impossible!"

Heming Zhenjun played with the teacup in his hand, admiring his pale face: "Tell me, who is this Jindan who knows so much about the secrets of the Heavenly Monarch and has the means to surpass the pseudo-immortal methods?"

True Lord Liuxu glared at True Lord Heming, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Don't try to intimidate me, I——"

Ding ding ding three bells rang!
The faces of the two True Lords changed drastically!

Because the sound of the bell represents - the Immortal King is calling urgently!

The two of them hurriedly got up and flew to the hall on top of the floating island. The Immortal King urgently summoned all the True Lords in the cave heaven to come and listen to the announcement.

When they arrived, they saw a person sitting at the top of the hall.

The man was not tall and seemed to be in his eighties. His hair and beard were white but his face was as rosy as a baby's. The silver beard on his lower jaw was particularly thick and was tied up in front of his chest.

He exuded an indescribable mysterious aura. When you looked closely, it seemed as if he had disappeared from this world, but inadvertently, you felt that he had merged into everything and was omnipresent.

As if he exists and does not exist, as if he lives and dies, this is the Immortal Lord Hedao!
There are three Hedao Immortal Lords in Taiyi Paradise. Two of them wander in the void all year round, and one stays in the cave.

The one in front of you is the Immortal Lord Taogu who is staying behind this time!
Everyone bowed and paid homage, but Taogu Immortal Lord waved his hands randomly and said, "No need to bow!"

His voice was shrill and thin, and his behavior was nothing like the graceful and steady immortal king one imagined. Instead, he seemed irritable and childish.

Taogu Immortal Lord twisted his silver beard and asked loudly, "Who among you brought up a Jindan cultivator named Lu Qian from the lower realm?"

The hall suddenly fell silent. No one could have imagined that the Immortal King urgently summoned him to ask about a golden elixir from the lower realm!
Heming Zhenjun and Liuxu Zhenjun were even more shocked. It was not until Taogu Xianjun impatiently patted the armrest and asked again that Heming Zhenjun hurriedly replied: "Ancestor, I brought him up."

Taogu Immortal Lord asked anxiously: "What about the others?"

True Lord Heming turned to look at True Lord Liuxu, who felt something was wrong and walked out with his head held high: "Grandmaster, I am asking about that Lu Qian."

Taogu Immortal Lord jumped up from his chair and said, "What are you asking? Take me there now!"

True Lord Liuxu felt his whole body go cold. Before he could utter a word, he was captured in the palm of Immortal Lord Taogu and taken away together with True Lord Heming.

"Where, you tell me!"

How could True Lord Liuxu dare to disobey and told him a location.

They only felt a flash before their eyes, and they were brought into the stone chamber by Taogu Immortal Lord.

They could clearly see that Chang Qingzi was holding a long whip high up and hitting Lu Qian, who was already covered in blood and completely unconscious!

boom!
The incomparable force directly destroyed the entire stone chamber, and the entire floating island began to tremble!
Chang Qingzi was crushed into blood foam by a finger!
Taogu Immortal Lord directly grabbed Changqingzi's soul and shouted sternly: "How dare you bully our distinguished guest!"

"Do you know that he has someone above him?" (End of this chapter)
