Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 663 Jiang Zhengchu

Xianyin Palace.

The decoration here is extremely exquisite. Unlike the dim candlelight in the Confucius Hall, the lights here are bright, and the pearls are embedded in the walls, making it as bright as daylight.

Fairy Yaoguang lowered her eyes and held her breath, quietly looking at the light in her hand.

Not long after, a Jindan cultivator came in, bowed respectfully to her, and presented her with a jade scroll.

"Fairy, here are the records of the magical powers of Tao Xianxu, Li Jianyi and other Taoist disciples. Uncle Hanzhi specially asked me to bring them to you for you to see."

Yaoguang remained expressionless upon hearing this. She lifted her hands slightly, opened the scroll and began to read it attentively.

These are all the magical skills that Tao Xianxu and others have displayed in recent years. Although they can't help her too much, they can allow him to understand them in advance and have a way to deal with them.

After a long time, she nodded slightly, her eyes moving, as if she was thinking about something.

Suddenly, she asked softly, "Are there any records of Chen Mu?"

"Chen Mu?" The Jindan cultivator was startled, but then he remembered who this person was: "Is it that Senior Beiyuan?"

Yaoguang nodded.

The Jindan cultivator looked troubled and shook his head, saying, "Master Hanzhi didn't mention this person..."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Fairy, not to mention that this person will not participate in the sword fight, even if he really did participate, considering his origin in Beiyuan, he is not sure that he would win a good place. Why did you ask him?"

Yaoguang didn't answer, just waved her hand and let him go.

Then he lowered his eyes again and looked at the scroll, without moving for a long time.

In fact, she herself didn't know why she asked such a question for some unknown reason. She just felt that Chen Mu was quite mysterious, as if he appeared out of thin air...

At the same time, in the Black and White Palace.

Ao Yi sat upright in the quiet room, a water-colored token appeared in his hand from time to time, and his expression was quite conflicted.

The next moment, her eyes moved, and she immediately put away the token and looked outside.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Senior Sister Ao, Junior Brother requests to see you."

Ao Yi stood up and waved his sleeves. The closed door opened quietly, revealing a tall figure.

This man was wearing a Taoist robe embroidered with yin-yang fish. He had an imposing bearing, handsome appearance, and outstanding demeanor. He was like a mountain or an abyss. He was just standing there, but he gave people a feeling of being detached from the world.

Ao Yi extended his hand and chuckled, "The sword fight is about to begin. Junior Brother Tao, why are you coming to me instead of calming your mind and breathing?"

Tao Xianxu smiled casually, without any hesitation, and said directly: "Junior brother, I came here to ask you about the matter of Chen Mu in Beiyuan."

Ao Yi's heart moved. Without showing it, he poured the tea and asked, "Junior brother, how can you be sure that I know that person?"

Tao Xianxu said, "I see that man has practiced the Dragon Palace Thunder Technique. Is it possible that Senior Sister doesn't know him?"

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly and stared closely at Ao Yi's reaction.

Ao Yi knew what he was guessing about and replied unmoved, "Of course I know him, but his hand grenade technique was learned from my Seventh Sister of the Dragon Palace, so it has nothing to do with me."

"That's right..."

Tao Xianxu pretended to smile, shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "I was thinking of asking Senior Sister about his hidden methods, but since Senior Sister is not familiar with him, I have no choice but to give up."

Ao Yi's eyes flickered, and he smiled faintly: "Junior brother is a top candidate, so there is no need to ask others for their trump cards..."

Tao Xianxu replied, "Thank you for your trust, Senior Sister. I will take my leave now."

He bowed his head, turned and left the room, then walked straight out of the black and white palace and headed towards the southeast corner without stopping.

Not long after, he arrived in front of a palace that was as magnificent as the Black and White Palace. After a pause, he strode in. A monk wearing a jade crown was already waiting in the palace. When he saw Tao Xianxu enter, his expression brightened and he hurried to greet him.

"Junior Brother Tao, how is it?"

Tao Xianxu bowed his hands first, then said truthfully: "Brother Jiang, Sister Ao didn't know Chen Mu. She just said they were unfamiliar with each other and didn't have a deep conversation. I felt it was abrupt, so I didn't ask further..."

"Not familiar... humph!"

The Jade Crowned Monk snorted coldly.

Tao Xianxu's heart was moved. After considering it for a while, he asked, "Brother, do you have any grudge against that monk from Beiyuan?"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Crowned Monk's face showed an unnatural expression, and he said vaguely: "There is some hatred, but it is not very urgent..."

The monk with jade crown was none other than Jiang Zhengchu, who had intended to kill Chen Mu back then!

Tao Xianxu frowned slightly. Although he intuitively felt that the situation was not that simple, he was not a person who would meddle in other people's business. So he nodded casually and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Before leaving, he paused, turned back, and advised, "Brother Jiang, you and Sister Ao...even though you are in name only, you shouldn't be too distant from each other in public, otherwise someone will always mention it."

Jiang Zhengchu's face darkened, and he could not express his pain in words.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Tao Xianxu sighed, shook his head, and turned away...

After he left, the hall returned to silence. Jiang Zhengchu was silent for a long time, and suddenly picked up the teacup beside him and threw it heavily to the ground!

Although he is a direct descendant of the Runan Jiang family and has outstanding talents, he is no match for his elder brother. Knowing that his future in cultivation in the clan is bleak, he tries every means to obtain the approval of the ancestor and becomes a disciple of the Black and White Taoist Palace.

As his realm grew, he also realized the strength of the Runan Jiang family. If he could grasp power, he would have countless opportunities. Under this temptation, he gradually developed the idea of ​​seizing the power.

But it is not easy to seize the Dao. Not only must he surpass the Daoist son of the clan in cultivation, he must also have a strong foundation behind him, enough to attract the attention of the elders and make them willing to change the Daoist son.

The former is relatively simple, but the latter is extremely difficult. There are only a few people in the world who can be valued by the Jiang family of Runan.

Just when he thought that there was no chance for them in this life, he happened to learn that Ao Yi wanted to get married.

As a fellow disciple, he knew that this was a great opportunity, so he immediately found Ao Yi and expressed his admiration for him.

But what he didn't expect was that Ao Yi was the same as him, doing this only to strengthen his own foundation.

The two looked so much alike that, with the approval of their elders, they hit it off and made an agreement. This is how the marriage proposal in the Langya Sea came about...

After the success, he was indeed valued by the elders of the clan. After he broke through the Nascent Soul stage, he was invited back to the clan and made a lot of profit.

Later, he took this opportunity to gain the support of many elders in the clan and firmly sat on the position of the Taoist son of the Jiang family.

To be honest, many people now know about the agreement between him and Ao Yi.

As he has firmly established himself as the Daozi, his mentality has also changed and he no longer cares too much about such a contractual identity.

However, the variable, Chen Mu, became a thorn in his heart...

After all, on the surface, Ao Yi is the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. Once this matter is made public, the Jiang family will become a laughing stock in Zhongzhou.

This is something he cannot accept...

"Only if this person dies can this matter be resolved."

"That way, even if the agreement between Ao Yi and me is made public, it won't become a topic of conversation for others. It might even become a good story..."

Jiang Zhengchu's eyes moved, and he gradually made up his mind.
