Hidden moth

Chapter 295 Tomorrow's Events Are Yesterday's Events

But these two were strangers that He Kao had never dealt with before. How could they have such obvious malicious intentions? He Kao had never stolen any vegetables from their home.

Although he had never dealt with them, He Kao knew who these two people were. There were records of this man and woman in the materials compiled by the clan hall.

They had also moved into Zhima Apartment around New Year's Day, claiming to be working in Qiyuan but never actually going to work. Mei Wenhua had even noted in the materials that these two individuals were suspected of possessing cultivation, at least at the third level.

However, there is no record of these two people in the disciple list of the Shu sect, which shows that they are wandering cultivators of unknown origin.

Combined with the fact that these two people were inexplicably hostile to He Kao and also had a bit of fear in their hearts, they should know He Kao's identity and that he was probably from the Xiao Alliance...

They concealed their expressions very well, with almost no flaws, but He Kao detected and locked onto the source of their unintentional emotional fluctuations through the use of magic weapons.

He Kao suddenly remembered that Elder Li Xiuyuan had also participated in the creation of the pendant, endowing it with the magical power of invigorating the divine. Wouldn't the magical power of a sixth-rank illusionist be much more useful than this magical pendant?

No wonder Li Xiuyuan was the primary target of Xiaomeng’s ambush and assassination.

Elder Li was, after all, a sixth-rank cultivator, so Xiaomeng sent out a magician, a physician, and six fifth-rank cultivators to set up the formation. They thought this powerful lineup was foolproof, but in the end...

Xiaomeng has already lost an alchemist and an illusionist this time. If Geng Yanxin, Jiao Bi De, and the unknown disciple of Danqiu Master are included, there are a total of nine fifth-level sorcerers, which can be said to be a serious blow to its vitality.

Especially since the plot to murder Li Xiuyuan failed, Xiaomeng lost an illusionist instead. This was a heavy loss for the "hidden front". All I can say is - they deserved it!
If the Zongfa Hall didn't take action, it would be fine. But if they did, they would beat Xiaomeng to a pulp. He Kao even wondered if this was another promotion ceremony designed by Old Man Jiang. If he didn't advance, it would be fine. But if he did, would he have a chance of breaking through to the eighth level?

I have to say that He Kao’s inner drama has always been quite rich.

He Kao didn't care what ill intentions the man and woman had towards him. What he cared about most now was whether Mei Guyu was safe.

The Xiaomeng's action has failed. In contrast, the Shumen's operation to close the net has just begun. Those who have been targeted by the Zongfa Hall and have had their information registered will be screened and dealt with one by one by Li Xiuyuan and Mei Wenhua.

The battle between Happy Valley and Xianhu Cave Heaven actually just ended a few hours ago. Only one Fabre from Xiaomeng escaped. It seems that the man and woman still don’t know what happened. They actually dare to hang around here!
Early the next morning, the newly opened Meishan Noodle House was doing very good business. By the way, after Mei Wenhua bought the store, he changed the sign to "Meishan Noodle House".

The store decoration has not changed, the noodle shop is still a noodle shop, and many people don’t even know what the original sign was.

Boss Mei wasn't in the shop today, and no one knew what he was busy with. When He Kao passed by, he saw Li Xiuyuan sitting inside eating noodles. He was leaning against the easel at the table, and across from him sat a young woman, another new face.

How come he has such a good relationship with girls? He Kao even suspected that Elder Li had another identity in the secular world, and that he was really just an old rogue artist.

Such an obvious "weakness" is easy to be exploited. For example, Xiaomeng could try to arrange for some unsuspecting girls to find opportunities to approach Elder Li and gather intelligence...

Thinking this in his mind, He Kao went to work as usual.

The sea in Qiyuan was calm that day, and it seemed that nothing had happened, but in places invisible to ordinary people, undercurrents were surging.

Elder Li had appeared openly in Qiyuan early in the morning, and the news quickly reached Fabre's ears. However, Fabre was not surprised because he had just met him the night before.

Fabre always thought that the person he met yesterday was Li Xiuyuan. What really surprised him was that Mei Guyu had not lost his magical powers.

Therefore, her coming to Qiyuan and the related rumors must be a trap.

After an emergency communication among the top leaders of Xiaomeng, they thought of another possibility, that is, Mei Guyu had successfully broken through and was promoted to a seventh-level great alchemist.

Therefore, they had to quickly inform their men to evacuate Qiyuan, or at least not to provoke Mei Guyu again. Especially since Xiaomeng had just suffered such a heavy loss, they really couldn't afford to provoke Meihuaxian, not to mention that there was also Li Xiuyuan in Qiyuan.

Those who work for Xiaomeng are also raised or bribed at a price. Even if they are tools, they cannot be cannon fodder meaninglessly.

What surprised Fabre even more was that Jiao Bi De, a very important contact of Xiaomeng in the East Country, had disappeared. On the same night of the incident, this person also disappeared!

This made Fabre break out in a cold sweat. His first reaction was not that Jiao Bi De was captured by the Shumen, because he did not think that Jiao Bi De would be exposed. Then it meant that this person betrayed Xiaomeng and defected to the Shumen!
Jiao Bi De's betrayal of the Shumen not only meant that the "downline" he was responsible for could not be contacted temporarily, but also meant that the Xiaomeng's plan to ambush Li Xiuyuan and Mei Guyu in Qiyuan was leaked in advance.

No wonder they fell into the trap of the Shumen and suffered heavy losses. It turned out to be the traitor Jiao Bi De...

Fabre thought he had found the truth. He was shocked and angry, but also felt a little relieved. Fortunately, Jiaobid did not know about Xiaomeng's plan to attack Xianhu Dongtian. That was information only known by the members of the Supreme Conference.

Fabre had already fled overseas at this time. He was crazy about wanting to know the situation in the Xianhu Cave. As long as the operation there was successful, the losses of the Xiaomeng could be completely compensated.

According to the undercover reports, the plan to capture Xianhu Cave Heaven is proceeding smoothly. The outside world is unaware of what's happening there. Perhaps no news is the best news. However, the Xiao Alliance's operation in Qiyuan has failed, and they haven't "captured" Li Xiuyuan and Mei Guyu as they hoped. This news must be reported to Danqiu Lord immediately, who must immediately loot everything of value and depart Xianhu Cave Heaven as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the Shumen would notice something was wrong and would probably block the door, and Master Danqiu would have lost this very important bargaining chip.

But the only way to convey the message to Xianhu Cave Heaven at the moment is to send someone in. If the door is open, go in directly. If the door is closed, "knock on the door" and let the person in charge of the array hub inside let them in.

However, those who are qualified to knock on the door must be high-level sorcerers of Danding Sect.

Fabre waited a day before finally deciding to send a fourth-rank gardener to knock on the door and deliver the message. This gardener had been lurking in Dandingmen for five or six years and had even settled in Xianhu Village.

Although this chess piece is important, this matter is more important... So Xiaomeng sent another one.

The gardener disappeared without a trace, and no feedback was sent back. The leaders of Xiaomeng had a very ominous premonition, but no one knew the situation in Xianhu Cave, and they were almost going crazy with anxiety.

The elders were incredibly patient, perhaps delayed by the restoration of the Ancestral Hall, and remained in the Immortal Pot Cave for three full days. Only after everything outside had been arranged did Elder Gu open the portal and emerge.

Only Gu Chun made a public appearance. As for Guo Qianhuai and Jiang Daozhen, they may have left quietly or are still hiding in the Xianhu Cave.

The sect's cave heaven cannot be left unattended, and it is said that it was the lay Buddhist Xianrui who had regained his status as a deacon and took over the core of the formation.

Hadn't she already resigned? Why was she back? Even if Xianrui was back, what about Geng Yanxin? Why did she still need to take over Dongtian?

However, everyone soon stopped questioning this because the Patriarchal Hall issued a notice that caused a tsunami-like shock. The content of the notice was very long, and a brief introduction is as follows:

There is a sorcerer organization that calls itself the "Xiaoyaoke Alliance". They use the inheritance rules established by their ancestors to send people into the sorcery sect to lurk. Geng Yanxin is one of them.

Geng Yanxin took advantage of the opportunity of being the deacon and taking turns to be in charge of the cave to secretly send the Xiaomeng masters carrying magical weapons into the Xianhu Cave, attempting to seize and plunder the blessed land of the cave.

However, the clan's Dharma Hall had already seen through the conspiracy. With the help of Mr. Xianrui, the geomancer thwarted the action. Not only did he eliminate the scum, but he also recovered the Danding Sect's sacred artifact, the Eight Diagrams Purple Gold Furnace, which had been lost for a thousand years.

At the same time, in order to divert the attention of the Zongfa Hall, Xiaomeng gathered a group of experts and launched a surprise attack on Elder Mei, the head of the Danding Sect who was in seclusion practicing.

Elder Mei was already alert and repelled the enemy with his magic sword...

Seeing this, He Kao felt two words: exquisite! Every word in the announcement was the truth, clearly telling all the disciples of the Shu Sect what had happened. However, the information that Xiaomeng wanted to know the most was not mentioned at all.

For example, how the Zongfatang discovered the conspiracy, what exactly happened in the Xianhu Cave, the whereabouts of Jiaobide, etc., none of these were mentioned.

If you only look at the content of the announcement, it seems that the ones who dealt with Geng Yanxin and Master Danqiu and his apprentice in Xianhu Cave were Gu Chun and Xiong Rui, and the other three old men had nothing to do with it at all.

Did Xirui participate? Actually, she was helping.

There is another very important content in the announcement: Elder Mei, the head of the Danding Sect, left Fengwei Township four months ago and chose a place to practice in seclusion. The Zongfa Hall specially issued a gag order to prevent him from being disturbed.

However, someone violated the gag order and leaked the news. Not only was it known to the Xiaomeng and deliberately spread, but many disciples of the Shumen and Zhiyuanke also knew about it. Many people went to the place where Elder Mei was in seclusion with various purposes.

Not to mention Elder Mei, even an ordinary disciple of the magic sect should not disturb others' practice like this, so the clan law hall decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The clan hall issued an order that anyone who had heard or spread the relevant news should immediately report it to the head of the direct branch and the clan hall's information office, clearly stating who they heard it from, what the specific content was, and who they told it to.

Since the gag order was only issued to the level of the sect's deacon, other sect disciples might not be aware of the inside story, so their actions did not constitute a violation of the gag order. As long as they did not do anything out of line and reported it proactively, the clan law hall would not impose any punishment.

Some people heard the news and headed to the city where Elder Mei was in seclusion with various purposes. Elder Li had already led people to conduct a detailed investigation and had obtained a list of names.

However, as long as they do not have any malicious words or actions and take the initiative to report and explain themselves, the clan hall can reduce or even exempt them from punishment, or they only need to receive instructions.

However, if you know about it but don't report it and it is discovered by the clan hall, the punishment will be increased!
In He Kao's opinion, the most interesting point in the announcement was that the clan law hall's gag order was still valid, and the scope was expanded from the deacons to all disciples of the sect.

From the date of this announcement, all disciples of the sect are prohibited from inquiring about or spreading the news of where Elder Mei is practicing in seclusion.
