Chapter 831 Reason
"I'm not petty. You really screwed me over in the past!" A fierce look flashed in Li Ming's eyes, but it was gone in a flash and no one saw it at the moment.

The old Taoist Miao Lingzi must have had bad intentions when he taught him the "Return to Zhen Sutra", but his crime was not punishable by death. He had gained a lot of benefits from this old Taoist priest. Moreover, he had actually protected him in Jiulian City. It would not be good to go too far. Just give him a slight punishment. He would settle the score with him when his true identity was revealed in the future!
Miao Lingzi, who was in a dishevel, was pulled up by Fang Ming and others. Miao Lingzi patted the burnt ash on his body, and even his beard and eyebrows fell off. He looked like a burnt egg.

Li Ming then said in a cold voice: "Daoyou deserted in the face of battle. This is a small punishment but a big warning."

How could Miao Lingzi not know that, judging from the situation just now, Li Ming could easily take his life. Now he was just playing a trick on him, which was already merciful enough.

On the contrary, Mu Qingcheng was quite indignant and shouted, "Senior, are you going to bully us just because you have a high level of cultivation?"

Seeing this, Li Ming laughed out loud, but before he could say anything, Miao Lingzi had already spoken.

"Qingcheng, stop being so presumptuous! It was my uncle who was wrong in the first place."

He suddenly sighed, pressed down Mu Qingcheng, who seemed to be extremely angry, and shook his head at Mu Qingcheng, with even a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Ming said, "Fellow Daoist, you have fled thousands of miles overnight. Not only did you not enter the deep mountains or swamps, but you went the other way and went straight into the Central Nine Provinces. What a plan!"

Miao Lingzi smiled bitterly and said, "So what? My friend saw through me at once."

He was also curious about how Li Ming had tracked him for thousands of miles and was able to catch up with him after being delayed for several days by Zhuge Wuyi.

Although for some reasons, his speed was not fast among the supernatural powers, but Li Ming's appearance still surprised him.

Li Ming smiled faintly. He knew Miao Lingzi's doubts, but he didn't directly explain. Fang Ming's luck was far superior to ordinary people. He had planted a method on him and used his spiritual eyes to identify the direction, so he arrived quickly. Instead, he said lightly: "There is no wall that is impenetrable. Although your plan is brilliant, you can't escape the will of heaven."

There was an unfathomable meaning in his eyes, which made Miao Lingzi's heart tremble.

The word "Tianxin" aroused people's imagination, and Miao Lingzi's face showed even more bitterness. Now it seems that Li Ming's strength and wisdom far exceeded his expectations, and he really had no secrets in front of him.

"You are right, fellow Daoist." Miao Lingzi said sincerely. Although he felt a little unwilling in his heart, he also understood that he was indeed in the wrong.

Li Ming waved his hand, signaling Miao Lingzi that there was no need to do this: "Let the past be the past. I came to you today for another matter."

Miao Lingzi was startled, then asked, "Oh? Please tell me, fellow Daoist."

Li Ming pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, you wouldn't come to Xue Long for no reason, would you? Young Fellow Fang Ming once told me some information, but I think you know more about it yourself, so I wanted to ask you in person. As long as you can give me a satisfactory answer, I won't make things difficult for you."

Miao Lingzi's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He then glanced at Fang Ming, but he also knew that Fang Ming had no choice but to bow and said, "I will tell you everything I know."

Li Ming nodded. "In that case, I must first ask you how you came to know about the Myriad Demons Pearl." Miao Lingzi pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "I won't hide it from you. This is a secret of our sect. My senior brother was traveling back then and happened to come across this place. However, the divine object possessed a spirit and refused to submit to the human race, so he left on his own. My senior brother also picked up Yu'er at that time."

Miao Lingzi's words were similar to what old man Qian Huan said when he transformed into him. Li Ming did not interrupt him but just listened quietly.

Then he asked, "Is this matter also known to Elder Qianhuan?"

Miao Lingzi pondered for a moment and sighed, "I was incompetent and was captured by the thieves. Although I was not tortured, I had no choice but to reveal some of the truth in order to save my nephew's life."

Li Ming nodded. The reason why Old Man Qianhuan could play the role of other people in various ways was not only because of his magical powers, but also because of his excellent acting skills. If he could not check people's luck, he might have been deceived by him.

During the previous battle, he appeared as Miao Lingzi. The love shown to Ming Si Yuer by him did not seem fake at all. What he said also came from Miao Lingzi himself, but the beginning and the end were cut out.

Now Miao Lingzi's content was more detailed and some details were added, but Li Ming keenly discovered the doubts.

"If what you said is true, could it be possible that this Miss Yu'er is connected to this divine weapon?"

"This..." Miao Lingzi wanted to get away with it, but Li Ming insisted and kept asking. Thinking about recent events, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Fellow Daoist, you have a keen eye. It is indeed true. Yu'er was originally a jade egg, but a little life force within her was not yet extinguished. My senior brother brought her back to the sect and took good care of her. But one day, the egg broke, and instead of giving birth to a divine bird, a baby girl emerged."

Miao Lingzi shook his head repeatedly, took a deep breath, and said, "Only four or five people in the entire Xuanzhen Sect knew about this. They claimed that Yu'er was an orphan brought back by my senior brother, and even deliberately spread rumors about her being an illegitimate daughter. They also made Yu'er become my disciple, regardless of the rumors within the sect, just to protect Yu'er."

"Jade eggs?" Li Mingruo nodded thoughtfully.

"and after?"

Seeing Li Ming's questioning, Miao Lingzi, who was also single, cooperated very well.

"Later, Yu'er showed extraordinary talent, but she seemed like a perfect person. As time went by, I stopped caring about this matter and treated Yu'er as my own daughter. Unfortunately, the sect encountered a disaster, and I hurriedly took only Qingcheng and Yu'er to escape. We spent a lot of time hiding from the authorities, and unfortunately, Yu'er was captured by the bad guys and almost..."

Hearing this, Li Ming naturally knew that Miao Lingzi was talking about the Jade Tooth Thief, so he nodded.

"So you stimulated her physique, causing her to grow rapidly and become what she is now. You were worried about other problems that might arise later, so after you cultivated your magical powers, you immediately headed to Yunzhou, hoping to find the Myriad Demons Pearl. Perhaps that would solve Miss Yu'er's problem?"

Miao Lingzi didn't refute, but nodded and said, "It's a pity that my skills are not as good as others, and I became a burden. I almost got into trouble. Fortunately, my fellow Taoist helped me. I am so grateful for your kindness and cannot repay you!"
