Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 243 Rumors
Li Daosheng calmed himself down and stepped into the elegant courtyard.

The woman playing the piano nodded slightly and raised her hand to signal him to sit on the stone bench opposite.

"My name is Li Daosheng. I hope you will forgive me for coming to bother you." Li Daosheng bowed and saluted. Although he was a little confused as to why the white-robed monk and the old man had disappeared, he could only suppress his doubts and deal with the situation of the woman in front of him first.

The woman smiled softly, and her fingers plucked the strings a few more times, producing a few crisp notes. "Sir, please come in. My name is Youruo. I wonder what brings you here?"

Li Daosheng looked at Youruo and decided to test the waters first. "Young lady, you are playing the zither here. It's very quiet around here. I just saw two people and an old man coming this way. I wonder if they are your friends?"

Youruo frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Sir, are you mistaken? No one else has been to this courtyard."

Li Daosheng's heart trembled. It seemed that he had been shaken off by the two men, but he quickly said, "It seems that my eyes are blurry. Sorry to bother you."

After saying that, Li Daosheng was about to leave.

At this moment, Youruo glanced at the back of Li Daosheng's hand in surprise: "Taishang Yunwen? Are you a disciple of Taishang Lihentian?"

Seeing that she knew him, Li Daosheng continued with what she was saying.

"Yes, I am an outer disciple of the Supreme Lihentian Sect. I have been away from the mountain gate for quite some time and am preparing to return."

Youruo gently plucked the strings of her zither, nodded, and said calmly, "No wonder you followed those two. I guess you saw the Tai Shang Lihentian magic weapon in the old man's hand?"

Her words proved that what she had just said was untrue.

Li Daosheng was a little surprised. She seemed to be so confident, but he didn't expect that she could lie without any trace.

"Miss Youruo knows?" He didn't pursue the other party's concealment. After all, this was someone else's territory.

"Who doesn't know about the recent changes in the Supreme Lihen Heaven?"

"Unexpected incident?" Anxiety appeared on Li Daosheng's face, but what he was thinking in his heart was... Did I guess it right?

"It's said that the Supreme Lihen Heaven seems to be shrouded in a mysterious force, but it's not a protective formation. Now, people can only enter but not leave. Strange noises and a pungent smell of blood can be heard from time to time."

Only in, no out...

"We at Duobao Tower have heard this news. As fellow righteous men, we naturally want to know the whole story. That old man picked up a magical weapon from the realm of Taishang Lihentian, so... we want to find out how he got out."

I see……

Li Daosheng nodded, already having some ideas in his mind.

He stood up and bowed to Youruo: "Thank you for telling me this information, young lady. I am very grateful."

Youruo nodded slightly: "You are very polite, sir. If you need anything else, you can come to my courtyard to chat again."

She saw that Li Daosheng wanted to leave, so she didn't try to keep him.

After leaving Youruo's courtyard, Li Daosheng quickened his pace.

He knew very well that such a big thing had happened in Master Su Mo's sect. If he told Master Su Mo rashly, she would definitely be extremely anxious, and the information he currently knew was very limited.

So he decided to ask around for more information.

After all, Youruo said, "Everyone knows about the changes in Taishang Lihentian recently."

I think the news has spread throughout the mountain and sea worlds.

Li Daosheng shuttled through the market town of Yunhe Fairy Island, targeting some monks who seemed to be well-informed.

He first stopped in front of a small stall selling spirit wine. "Brother, it looks like you've been on this fairy island for quite some time. I guess you know a lot of things, right?" Li Daosheng asked with a smile.

The cultivator looked at Li Daosheng and, noticing the outer sect cloud pattern of the Supreme Lihentian on the back of his hand, relaxed his guard a little. "Of course, brother, you are here to inquire about your sect, right?"

Li Daosheng pretended to be stunned and asked, "How did you know?"

The cultivator looked around for a moment, then whispered, "Your Supreme Lihen Heaven is one of the five sacred places of the immortal sect. There are many disciples traveling abroad, so naturally there are more than just one or two who are gathering information. Some have even entered that mysterious barrier and have never emerged."

"Brother, you're an outer disciple, your cultivation is far inferior to those people, so why bother with this? Just hide away. I heard... someone has come to Taishang Lihentian to seek revenge. Inside the barrier, corpses are everywhere, blood and fumes are surging, and everyone inside has died in a miserable state. Black mist also appears from time to time around the mountain gate. Anyone who enters will never return..."

"Coming to seek revenge? There are corpses everywhere?" Li Daosheng asked with a frown.

"Ahem... What I said might not be correct, but there's some truth to it. The corpses strewn all over the ground are just everyone's guess. After all, that blood energy is truly soaring to the sky. If so many people hadn't died, how could there be such a blood energy? What do you think?"

Li Daosheng didn't say anything.

He is not a true disciple of Tai Shang Li Hen Tian, so how would he know about the affairs of the cultivation world?

"Thank you for letting me know, brother. I'll take my leave now."

Li Daosheng bowed, turned around and left, ignoring the man's groaning, as if he had not finished speaking.

At least the fact that something major happened to Tai Shang Lihentian has been confirmed.

Li Daosheng thought about it, and immediately went back to find Master Su Mo.

When he returned to the restaurant, he found that Master Su Mo was looking at her calmly, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Maybe she also heard some rumors.

Li Daosheng came and sat beside her, and told Master Su Mo all the information he had found out on Yunhe Fairy Island.

After hearing this, Master Su Mo's expression became even more solemn: "Blood and energy surge into the sky, a barrier envelops... only in, no out..."

"It can't be true as that person said, that someone came to beat him up, right?" Li Daosheng asked.

Master Su Mo shook his head slightly: "No, it's much more serious than this."

what?
Li Daosheng was a little surprised. Is there anything more serious than someone attacking the mountain gate and killing his disciples?

"I am Daozi, and the place where the Supreme Lihen Heaven is located is the Evil Eye of the Mountain and Sea Realm. One day, an evil weapon was sealed deep underground in the Supreme Lihen Heaven. From your description, I am worried that the evil weapon has appeared in the world."

"The five major immortal sects and sacred places are closely connected. If they were attacked by criminals, fellow Taoists would have come to their aid long ago. Now, the other sects are sitting on their hands, allowing rumors to spread. I'm afraid... they are all waiting for the evil weapon to break through the shackles of Taishang Lihentian so that they can seize this treasure."

Master Su Mo explained the reason.

Li Daosheng was a little surprised. He really came at the right time.

"That evil weapon is so tempting?" Li Daosheng asked.

"Everything born has its own spirit. Although it was born within the evil eye, I don't know what it is exactly. However, the evil energy emanating from the evil eye is enough to affect practitioners. If someone were to take advantage of it, control the evil weapon, and command those invaded by the evil energy, I'm afraid..."

She didn't finish her words, but Li Daosheng already understood.

If the evil spirit can infect practitioners and control evil weapons, it will control those practitioners.

In this world with extremely high combat power, a demon capable of competing with [Thirteenth Moon] will be born.
