Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 50 Undercurrent
Shortly after Lekong passed away and Jingnian Zen Temple was destroyed, another piece of news came from the distant frontier.

This caused the martial arts world in Middle-earth to be shaken once again.

After Ling Donglai traveled to Goguryeo and killed the "Master of Sword" Fu Cailin with three moves, he rushed straight to the Turks without stopping and directly killed a group of Turkic masters including Wu Zun Bi Xuan and Qu Ao.

It turned out that after Ling Donglai killed Fu Cailin, he seemed to intentionally delay the journey so that Bi Xuan could get the news in advance and make preparations early.

In order to protect his own safety, he borrowed two thousand gold wolf guards from the shameless DTZ Khan.

When the Khan heard that Ling Dong had come, in order to protect Bi Xuan, he personally went to invite the "Iron Eagle" Qu Ao and his disciples, who had always been at odds with Bi Xuan, to help.

It was not until Qu Ao led a group of disciples to the Golden Wolf Guard camp and met up with Bi Xuan that Ling Donglai slowly appeared, seemingly seeing that everyone was present.

As soon as Ling Donglai appeared on the scene, he was besieged by Qu Ao, his disciples and the Golden Wolf Guards, but the result was despairing.

Qu Ao and his many disciples, who were highly expected by the Khan, did not play any role in depleting Ling Donglai's physical strength. Instead, they were sent to see Changshengtian one by one by Ling Donglai.

The most elite wolf guards of the Turkic people were even more vulnerable in front of Ling Donglai. With one palm strike, dozens of them exploded and died, and the might was even greater than when Li Gong killed the four bandits alone.

Just when Ling Donglai was killing his way to the central army tent and no one could stop him, Bi Xuan, the patron saint of the grassland people, finally could not sit still anymore.

After seeing what Ling Donglai was capable of, he realized that the human wave tactic was simply ineffective against Ling Donglai, so he walked out of the tent and ordered the Golden Wolf Guards to stop.

He then reached an agreement with Ling Donglai to duel with him in exchange for the survival of the remaining Golden Wolf Guards.

After getting Ling Donglai's promise, he immediately dismissed all the Golden Wolf Guards around him, ordered them to return to the Khan to report, and asked the remaining Golden Wolf Guards to bring a message to the Khan.

As long as Donglai remains in this world, he must not lead his troops to invade the Middle-earth.

After finishing his instructions, he picked up the Moon Wolf Spear "Agushuaia" that had accompanied him in his battles throughout his life, and became a pair of supreme masters alone.

The result is naturally self-evident. Ling Donglai broke his weapon with one move and sent him back to Changshengtian with another.

At this point, Ning Daoqi was the only one left among the three great martial arts masters in the world.

This news naturally made countless martial arts sects happy, and the happiest among them was Cihang Jingzhai.

It was because ever since Li Gong destroyed Jingnian Zen Temple, he had been slow to take action against it, as if he had forgotten about this biggest enemy.

Fan Qinghui was originally happy about this, thinking that as long as he waited until Ling Donglai returned to Middle-earth, he could arrange for him to fight with Li Gong as planned.

But what she didn't expect was that, starting from some unknown time, an undercurrent began to target Cihang Jingzhai.

Many rumors spread like wildfire in the martial arts world, and the subsequent rumors caused an uproar in the martial arts world.
Putting the information of these rumors together, there is only one meaning: Cihang Jingzhai is one of the most hidden branches of the Demon Sect, and at the beginning of its establishment, it reached an agreement with the various factions of the Demon Sect, and the two sides took turns to control the world.

No one believed this rumor at first, as it was just a crude counter-espionage plot by the Demon Sect. However, after the conversation between Li Gong and Shi Feixuan during the battle in Luoyang was revealed, and the story of Shi Feixuan escaping without being fatally injured despite being hunted by the Yinkui Sect was released by someone with ulterior motives, many people began to think carefully about the truth of this rumor.

Some things often cannot stand careful consideration.

People suddenly discovered that Cihang Jingzhai, the leader of the White Path, seemed to have a lot in common with the Yinkui Sect of the Demonic Sect.

For example, both sects are dominated by beautiful women, and the disciples of both sects have the ability to make men die for them.

For example, although there were frequent fights between the two factions, there had never been a large-scale war of killing and conquest. There were occasional fights between the descendants of each generation, but they were all brief and never a life-and-death struggle.

The Huajian Sect, which was also a demonic sect but was destroyed, seemed to have always had a good relationship with Cihang Jingzhai. The deceased Hou Baixi even went boating on the lake with his master Feixuan, who went by the alias Qin Chuan.

Bi Xiuxin even married the famous "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan. Although nominally she was feeding the demon, who says it is not another form of marriage? The relationship between Cihang Jingzhai and the Demon Sect does not seem to be as bad as everyone imagines. It is more like a competitive relationship between the two, rather than a life-and-death enemy like the Demon Sect and Jingnian Zen Temple.

Some even directly questioned why Shi Feixuan was able to escape alone during the battle that day.

At the same time, testimonies from many members of the Luoyang Gang who watched the battle that day and did not want to reveal their identities were also produced.

What he meant was that with Li Gong's ability, it would be easy for him to kill Shi Feixuan, but he let her escape.

At that time, the Demon Sect had already laid a tight net inside and outside Luoyang City, which was the main reason why none of the monks in Jingnian Zen Temple escaped.

However, Master Feixuan had only been hunted down by the current Yinkui Sect successor, Kankan. After escaping after being injured, she never encountered any obstacles again.

You have to know that Shuanglong, Ba Fenghan and the other two fought desperately to snatch a chance of survival from Li Gong.

If Li Gong had not wanted to play around, the three of them would have surely died.

While the Buddhist forces in the south were being slaughtered and blood was flowing like a river, why was it that Cihang Jingzhai, also in the south, was able to remain safe and sound, while the first to be destroyed was the Buddhist leader in the north?

Under the guidance of some people with ulterior motives, all kinds of doubts have put the reputation and status of Cihang Jingzhai in jeopardy.

Many fellow Buddhists also hope that Cihang Jingzhai can provide evidence to prove that it has no connection with the Demonic Sect.

All these forced Fan Qinghui to send people to explain to his fellow Buddhists one by one, saying that this was just a counter-espionage plot by the Demon Sect and asked them not to believe it. However, he could not produce any key evidence, which made people more suspicious.

Why did Fan Qinghui do this?

Because she had no other choice but to deal with it by procrastinating.

It turned out that after learning the content of the conversation with Li Gong that day from Master Feixuan, he was shocked, but knew that he would not speak without purpose, so he immediately entered the sect's collection tower to check the relevant content.

After searching through all the ancient books, he finally found a note written by a local nun. The content of the note shocked Fan Qinghui, because what Li Gong said was indeed true.

In this notebook, in addition to some of Dini's martial arts insights, it also records Dini's own early experiences.

It turns out that when Di Ni, the first ancestor of Cihang Jingzhai, was studying Buddhism in the White Horse Temple, he met Xie Tiao, the first generation "Evil Emperor" of the Demon Sect. The two fell in love, which enabled Di Ni to read "The Great Method of Planting Demons in the Heart of Taoism", but they eventually broke up due to their differences in Buddhism.

Later, Dini became a monk and achieved enlightenment while meditating at the age of forty.

Later he left Buddhism and integrated the skills of Buddhism, Taoism and magic to create the "Bian'an Sword Art", which is the predecessor of "Cihang Sword Canon".

This note was written by Di Ni before he entered the Death Pass. It was to remind his successor that if he wanted to practice the "Cihang Sword Canon" to the realm of Dao Embryo, he must find someone in the Demon Sect who practiced the "Dao Heart Demon Seeding Method". Only under the mutual influence of the Dao Embryo and the Demon Seed, could he enter the realm of Death Pass.

At the end of the book, it points out without hesitation that the origin of sword martial arts comes from "The Great Method of Cultivating Demons in the Dao Heart" and "Random Thoughts on the Demonic Path". It was only because he was too obsessed with the distinction between good and evil in his early years that he missed out on Xie Tiao, which is indeed a great regret in his life.

I hope that those who come after me will appreciate the help Xie Tiao gave me in the past, and secretly lend a helping hand if the Demon Sect is in trouble in the future.

And if Cihang Jingzhai is in trouble, he can find the token of love between him and Xie Tiao that he had hidden under the tower and ask for help from the Demon Sect.

After Fan Qinghui finished reading the letter, he was shocked, but he took out the token from under the tower, an exquisite bronze token, which was the Evil Emperor's token that had been missing for a long time.

Looking at the Evil Emperor's Order in her hand, Fan Qinghui confirmed that the contents of the letter were true. She had no choice but to smile bitterly.

When it comes to the doubts in the martial arts world, apart from keeping silent and appeasing the close sects, the only other option is to refuse to admit it even if you are beaten to death.
