Chapter 94: The Undercurrent Temporarily Stops, Old Stories in Shengjing [Two-in-One Reading Request]

Not only Tang Hao and the other two were stunned, Feng Mingyang himself was also extremely surprised.

During the more than ten years that he traveled in the Cangnan Region, he did make many friends, but there were very few female cultivators.

As for the person in front of him, he looked at Bai Jue carefully. Even though he couldn't see her face, he had no impression of her graceful demeanor.

"Who is Taoist Fellow Taoist?"

Just as he was wondering, he saw the other party wave his hand, isolating the surrounding area, and not only blocking the spiritual consciousness, but also all sights.

Only myself, this female cultivator, and... Tang Hao are left?
Feng Mingyang looked at Tang Hao with a little surprise, and was attracted by the action of the female cultivator taking off half of her mask.

Looking at that charming face that could be both happy and angry, bright and stunning, his eyes widened slightly, with a hint of surprise and delight: "Fellow Daoist Bai Jue?"

Long-lost memories suddenly came to my mind, and I didn’t expect that more than a hundred years had passed.

"It's me. I didn't expect that when we meet again, you have already reached the Nascent Soul stage." Bai Jue smiled lightly and nodded slightly.

Then he asked curiously, "However, you should be the head of the clan now, why did you come to Cangnan?"

As she spoke, she glanced around: "It seems he's still alone."

"I am no longer a member of the clan." Feng Mingyang looked a little disappointed, and glanced at Tang Hao subtly.

Then he said, "Several decades ago, our ancestor passed away unexpectedly, and the Jiliang clan took power. He also wanted to marry my sister off to another clan, but Mingyue was unwilling, and so was I. So I took her away from the clan and lived in seclusion elsewhere."

"Another power grab?" Tang Hao's face was a little strange. "These clansmen are quite obsessed with power."

I've been staying with Bai Jue these past few days, and I've heard her talk about things in the Northern Territory. There are also sects there. Apart from that, the clans are also equally strong, and are not much weaker than the sects.

Bai Jue suddenly understood what he said and said in surprise, "You dote on your sister so much, yet you are willing to abandon her and come here alone..."

"Ahem, Sister Jue." Tang Hao coughed lightly and tugged at her cloak.

Turning his head in surprise, Bai Jue's eyes flashed with confusion: "What's wrong?"

Feng Mingyang tilted his head, and couldn't help but feel surprised: "When did Bai Jue become so gentle, and Tang Hao called her sister, are they really siblings? Impossible, impossible."

When thinking about this, he couldn't help but glance at Tang Hao's butt, but was noticed by the other party, and immediately coughed in embarrassment.

Lian changed the subject and said, "My sister disappeared in Shengjing, Dongling Kingdom, seventeen years ago. I am here to look for her."

"Missing? Feng Mingyue has also reached the Jindan stage, right? Your clan's bloodline is the best at speed, and it should be difficult for an ordinary Yuanying to catch her." Bai Jue couldn't help but frown.

Sighing, Feng Mingyang nodded and said, "She had already broken through to the late Jindan stage at that time and wanted to travel, so I agreed. But... I've been investigating everywhere over the years and it seems to be the work of the Hehuan Sect."

"No wonder you appear here today."

Tang Hao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see Bai Jue's mouth twitching, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"It's a pity that the Holy Maiden Hehuan escaped, and I don't know where the old man in the Nascent Soul stage has gone to hide." Feng Mingyang shook his head with a look of regret.

Bai Jue was about to take out the Nascent Soul that she had sealed, but suddenly his expression changed and he glanced outside the barrier, giving up his original plan.

He put on the mask again and said quickly, "I'll give it to you later." Then he waved his hand to disperse the barrier.

Feng Mingyang was a little confused, but since the other party said so, he had no choice but to nod.

Tang Hao ordered the nine women to kill the enemy at that time, but he himself did not take any action. Naturally, he was very concerned about the situation in the sky and knew that the old man had been killed by Bai Jue.

Hearing this, his eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself with a slight sense of unease: 'Will Bai Jue also ask for a thank-you gift from him...?'

He suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and turned around, only to see the uncle and nephew of the Cao family, along with a group of law enforcement monks from Dongliu Xiancheng, already waiting on the side.

Seeing the barrier disappear, Cao Moyu glanced at Tang Hao, nodded slightly, and then bowed his head in greeting: "I am Cao Moyu of the Qinghua Sect. I am honored to be the guardian of Dongliu Immortal City. I am honored to meet Master Bai Jue."

After Bai Jue responded, Cao Moyu said with admiration, "I just heard that Your Excellency killed the Nascent Soul Demon of the Hehuan Sect with his own strength. I am deeply impressed and have come to see you."

Hearing this, Feng Mingyang's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Bai Jue with joy. Only then did he understand the meaning of the other party's words and couldn't help but show gratitude on his face.

"When Master was preparing that old demon, if he had obtained some information about the [Hehuan Sect]'s forces, or other valuable information, our sect would be willing to pay a high price for it. I hope Master will agree."

After the pleasantries, Cao Moyu revealed his true purpose.

Bai Jue nodded slightly and replied with a simple word: "Yes."

Cao Moyu was naturally overjoyed. He did not expect that the master would agree so easily. After thanking him repeatedly, he apologized and prepared to deal with the rebellion in Cangyun City.

Cangyun City was built very recently and is not actually affiliated with the Qinghua Sect. It is essentially a small force where immortals and mortals live together.

But it is within the territory of Dongliu after all. Since some people here are colluding with the demon monks and want to establish a stronghold here, Cao Moyu, as the guardian of Dongliu, naturally has the responsibility.

Tang Hao will definitely stay here and pay attention to the subsequent development of the matter. After all, Lao Luo is deeply involved with Cangyun City. No matter what the final result is, it will have a significant impact on it.

If he doesn't leave, Bai Jue won't leave either.

Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, although Feng Mingyang was eager to get follow-up clues, he had to suppress his anxiety.

Just now, when Tang Hao and the other two were communicating alone, Cao Moyu had already understood the situation here and knew who was the mastermind here.

Sheng Xiong took the healing pill and woke up slowly.

"Clan leader Sheng, I, Cao Moyu, the guardian of Dongliu, have ordered my son Sheng Qi to collude with the demon cultivators and intend to bring this place under the control of the Demon Sect. Are you aware of this?"

Looking at Sheng Xiong who was supported by Sheng Yan and stood up tremblingly, Cao Moyu spoke expressionlessly.

"I have to say, regardless of whether the sect's leaders act condescendingly or not, they still maintain a self-disciplined and respectful demeanor." Tang Hao thought to himself upon seeing this.

Sheng Xiong reluctantly bowed his head and said, "I had no knowledge of this before. I never imagined that this rebellious son would actually collude with the Demon Sect and do such a cruel and insane thing as killing his loved ones."

"Even if the garrison commander hasn't arrived yet, I'm still going to clean up the mess. Since you've asked, I'll leave this rebellious son in your care."

After taking a last glance at Sheng Qi who was being escorted by the law enforcement monks, Sheng Xiong closed his eyes full of disappointment and refused to look at him again.

He was already seriously injured, and now he seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit. He instantly looked much older, with a hunched back, like a dead tree.

"My dear father, if you hadn't been so autocratic, how could I have done such a rebellious thing?" Sheng Qi's hair was disheveled, he knelt on the ground, still roaring with his neck stiff.

Sheng Xiong closed his eyes tightly and said nothing, but Luo Kedi couldn't help but ask, "You've already been the young clan leader for a long time, and it's only been ten years since the clan leader abdicated. Can't you wait?"

In the past, he and Sheng Qi had a very good relationship, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were as close as brothers.

But ever since Shan Xing traveled here, took a fancy to Sheng Yan, and made a marriage contract with her, everything changed unknowingly. The clan leader obstructed him, his brothers betrayed him, and even his Yan'er began to distance herself from him.

"Ha, ha, young clan leader? I was originally thinking the same thing." Sheng Qi sneered, "But this old man actually planned to let Sheng Yan's child inherit the position of clan leader. Where does that leave me?"

He raised his gaze to look at Sheng Yan: "Just because you awakened your bloodline, should I be abandoned like a worn-out shoe? Why? I won't accept this."

"So, you forcibly drew my blood and wanted to kill me?" Sheng Yan couldn't believe it, looking at her brother who once doted on her so much.

Scenes from the past kept flashing through my mind.

When they were children, her brother never wanted to spend the delicious food and fun things on himself, but gave them all to her.

When she was older, she was naughty and ran out to play. Her brother helped her to cover up, but was whipped by her father and her back was covered with wounds.

Later, together with Zizhu, they got in the way between him and Brother Sheng, and the four of them ran to every corner of Cangyun City.

Sheng Yan's tears flowed like broken strings. Was all this fake?

The tears gradually became frosty. In the end, before they could slide down her face, they turned into ice beads and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. The black ice blood seemed to freeze her heart.

This scene made everyone present look sideways.

Sheng Yan's eyes dimmed and turned cold as she looked at Sheng Qi.

He pronounced the sentence in a cold voice: "Sheng Qi, you colluded with the Demon Sect, killed your sister, and slaughtered your own clan members. From today on, you will be stripped of your position as Young Clan Leader and imprisoned in the clan prison to be frozen forever." He paused, glanced at Cao Moyu beside him, and said, "If you can still survive."

Just now, Sheng Xiong had clearly stated that he wanted Sheng Yan to inherit the position of clan leader, and the clan elders present had no objection to this.

Even though the ceremony has not yet been held, with the support of everyone, her verdict on Sheng Qi will be resolutely carried out.

Cao Moyu raised his eyebrows and looked at the little girl with interest, then his gaze swept over Tang Hao, Bai Jue and others.

After a moment's hesitation, he said to her, "I will spare his life, Patriarch Sheng."

"Thank you for guarding us!" Sheng Yan quickly bowed her head in gratitude.

Sheng Qi knew that he was doomed to die, and he scoffed at Sheng Yan's verdict.

Upon hearing this, his expression changed drastically, as if the so-called ice punishment was something more terrifying than death.

He struggled frantically, screaming at the top of his lungs: "Sheng Yan, you can't do this to me, I'm your brother, you..."

"It's so noisy." Cao Lezhi frowned, and with a flicker of light, he pointed his finger at his throat.

Sheng Qi suddenly became speechless and could only make a humming sound in his throat.

"Thank you for everything, Lord Guardian." Sheng Yan bowed slightly to Cao Moyu, then supported Sheng Xiong and said, "Father, I will take you back to rest."

After saying that, she walked out of the ancestral hall. Luo Kedi wanted to follow her, but when he saw Shan Xing who was already beside her, he stopped with a gloomy expression.

"Alas!" Seeing this, Tang Hao took Lao Luo's arm and said, "Brother, let's go back too."

Cao Moyu originally wanted to ask the three people about some situations, but when he noticed Bai Jue following closely beside Tang Hao, he felt confused and gave up his original plan.

"Forget it, with so many people who experienced it, it doesn't matter who I ask."

They returned to the Luo family, and Feng Mingyang followed them at their invitation.

Afterwards, Luo Ke Di and Jiang Shen Yin went back to their rooms to rest.

Looking at Bai Jue and Feng Mingyang who were obviously ready to continue their unfinished business and had no intention of taking a rest, Tang Hao was unable to move for a moment and walked hesitantly.

Seeing this, Bai Jue pursed his red lips, amusement appeared on his face, and he said, "Brother, come along. You probably haven't seen a cultivator's Nascent Soul yet, so this is a good opportunity to take a look."

"Okay, okay. To be honest with you, Sister Jue, I'm really curious." Tang Hao had just walked halfway and was hesitant when he heard the words. He immediately ran back happily, "That's right, let's not disturb Senior Feng, okay?"

Feng Mingyang looked at this and that with a strange look on his face. He coughed lightly and said, "Of course you're welcome. Fellow Daoist Tang and I have only been apart for a few days and now we've met again. It can be said that we have a deep bond."

Seeing the two people's fake politeness, Bai Jue raised the corners of his lips and waved his hand to block off a corner of the courtyard.

Tang Hao noticed that, unlike before, there was a moon-like streak of light inside the barrier, moving back and forth along the edge, looking like a dream.

After making all the arrangements, Bai Jue took out a jade box.

After opening it, a tiny baby about four inches in size with a peach-pink glow all over its body appeared.

The baby's body was slightly blurry, and his entire body was bound by silk threads flowing with moonlight, with occasional thin needles made of moonlight inserted in them.

After carefully examining the baby's face, Feng Mingyang found that it was indeed about 50% similar to the old man in his memory. There was no doubt that it was him. He nodded with a smile on his face.

Bai Jue put his fingers together and the Yuehua needle disintegrated and dissipated. The baby's eyelids trembled and he regained consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, he first saw a young man he didn't recognize, leaning over and looking at him curiously.

As his eyes shifted slightly, two nightmarish figures came into his sight.

"Dao, fellow Daoist, please spare my life. I will serve you like a slave..." The old man's Yuanying voice was childish and crisp, with a trembling cry.

Seeing him doing this again, Bai Jue immediately stopped him, "Stop!"

The baby suddenly shuddered and pursed his lips tightly, not daring to make any sound.

Raising his chin towards Feng Ming, Bai Jue indicated that he could ask any questions he had.

His eyes spun around, and the old man's Nascent Soul scanned the space between the two. He took the initiative to say, "Fellow Daoist, feel free to ask whatever you want to know. I will tell you everything I know."

After first glancing at Bai Jue with gratitude, Feng Mingyang took a deep breath, stared at the baby, and said, "Tell me the whereabouts of the owner of the Thousand Butterflies Soul-Guiding Pillow."

[Thousand Butterflies Soul-Guiding Pillow]?
The old man's Nascent Soul expression changed, and he sighed, "I didn't expect it to be this. When I captured that female cultivator, I knew it was not good. Now it really is..."

Noticing Feng Mingyang's impatient expression, he dared not say any more nonsense and immediately told him everything that had happened.

"In that case, this old man has been used by someone, and the person behind the scenes is really scheming." Tang Hao couldn't help but say after hearing this.

Bai Jue also nodded and said, "The other party is probably interested in Feng Mingyue's bloodline and wants to use her as the mother to give birth to an heir to improve the family bloodline qualifications."

Feng Mingyue traveled to Shengjing, Dongling Kingdom, and inadvertently revealed that she was from a clan in the Northern Territory.

Someone deliberately publicized this matter in brothels and other places, attracting the attention of the [Hehuan Sect].

The old man was hiding in Shengjing at the time. When he received the news, he immediately became interested.

They set up an ambush when Feng Mingyue was leaving, and captured her with serious injuries.

The old man originally imprisoned her in a stronghold, preparing to make her into jade face makeup.

As a result, another industry he was in charge of was attacked. When he returned after dealing with it, he found that the stronghold had been destroyed and Feng Mingyue had naturally disappeared.

After some investigation, the old man realized that he had been used and had fallen into a trap.

The old man's words echoed repeatedly in Feng Mingyang's mind.

His teeth were grinding, veins popped out on his face, his body was shaking uncontrollably, and the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator was uncontrollably released.

Tang Hao, who was protected by Bai Jue, swallowed his saliva subconsciously, looked at Feng Mingyang who was in a frenzy, and then glanced at the unmoving Yue Hua Pi Lian and the barrier, and sighed: "My sister Jue is really strong."

After a while, Feng Mingyang finally calmed down.

He said goodbye to the two of them, "I will be leaving for Shengjing soon. I hope we will meet again someday."

After learning about the remains of the stronghold and related information from the old man, he was naturally anxious and didn't want to wait a moment longer.

"Go ahead." Bai Jue understood very well and nodded slightly.

After leaving behind two jade talismans for communication, Feng Mingyang nodded to them, then flew into the sky, transformed into a beam of light, and headed towards Shengjing, Dongling Kingdom.

After sealing the old man's Nascent Soul again and putting it away, Bai Jue shook his head and sighed.

Tang Hao looked at her and spoke hesitantly, "Sister Jue, are you just going to let Feng Mingyang go like this?"

"What else?" Bai Jue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked back.

Tang Hao rubbed his knuckles with his hands tucked into his sleeves and said with a light cough, "Aren't you going to accept his thank-you gift?"

"Brother, do you want me to accept it?" Bai Jue stared into his eyes and asked again.

Tang Hao looked at her for a moment, then couldn't help but look away, muttering to himself, "Is it me who's asking the question?"

Looking at his expression, Bai Jue's lips curled up into a triumphant smile, and she said softly, "Sister only asked you for a thank you gift."

Really?

When Tang Hao heard this, he felt his heart skip a beat and turned around abruptly.

But I felt a cold fragrance coming towards me, and the touch of flower petals on my lips again.
