Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

He hadn't had a sip of water or a rest. The task wasn't difficult, but he was just feeling quite tired.

"Qingshui is alright!" Dongfang checked Qingshui's pulse and said happily, "Immortal Zixun's elixir worked, Qingshui's poison is gone!"

"Okay! That's good, that's good!" Shuofeng nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness! You scared me to death!"

Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian held hands, both feeling a bit scared.

0oo is asking for flowers.....

"Is Senior Brother Shuofeng here?" a Changliu disciple asked, bowing outside the hall.

Shuofeng got up and went outside. The two whispered a few words to each other, and then Shuofeng followed the other person away.

"Report to the fourth one, I feel like something's not right there!" Dongfang said. "Qingshui has just escaped danger, what happened to Shuofeng!" Dongfang felt that the last disciple's glance inside was a bit strange, it didn't seem like a simple or easy thing.

"Didn't Shuofeng recently take on the task of escorting Changliu's disciples on their training? Perhaps something's come up in his area; it shouldn't be anything serious."

Ni Mantian said nonchalantly, after all, this is Changliu, and Shuofeng and Qingshui are both disciples of Changliu.

...0

"Yes, Shuofeng has always been low-key and humble. He won't get into any trouble, don't worry!" Hua Qiangu said.

“Yes, Dongfang, don’t think that everything is wrong just because of the poisoning from the light water.” Zixun also advised, after all, the light water incident was, to put it bluntly, Qi Sha’s targeting of Lin Yaoxie.

But Shuofeng is already in his own sect, so what major events could possibly happen? It's best not to worry unnecessarily!

"Sigh, I just have a vague feeling that none of the recent events happened without a reason!" Dongfang explained.

"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Why should we try to guess what a villain is thinking? If you have that much time, hurry up and get me some food. I'm a little hungry!" Lin Yaoxie said.

Even a virtuous person could never predict what will happen next, no matter how many times they think about it. They might as well just eat breakfast.

“The north wind…” Dongfang nodded, but then hesitated.

"Then you can go with Shuofeng!" Lin Yaoxie said impatiently.

This person from the East also has the potential to be talkative.

Shuofeng followed the junior disciple to the front of the Demon Sage Hall. The disciple looked embarrassed and said, "Senior Brother Shuofeng, I think I said something wrong just now." As he spoke, the junior disciple told Shuofeng about his conversation with Demon Sage in detail.

Shuofeng nodded: "Don't worry, it's alright. The problem with the third squad is my responsibility. You answered correctly." The junior disciple breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Chapter 89 Setting Off on the Treasure Hunt

"Report four..." Luo Shiyi came in from outside the door with some food, with Dongfang Huoqing following behind him.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Lin Yaoxie had his eyes closed, letting Ni Mantian and Hua Qiangu each massage one of his arms.

"Reporting to the fourth master, he has punished Junior Brother Shuofeng." Luo Shiyi said anxiously. He had just returned from Mo Yan's place and heard that his junior brother had come with the disciples of the Punishment Department to punish Junior Brother Shuofeng.

"What punishment?" Hua Qiangu asked. Just now, that disciple had indeed hurriedly called Shuofeng away.

"Twenty strokes of the rod, and three days of facing the wall in silence." Luo H looked a little uncomfortable. Twenty strokes of the rod was already a very heavy punishment for a Changliu disciple. After all, it was a disciple from the Department of Punishments who was administering the rods, so it was not just a matter of superficial injuries.

"Mo Yan is serious this time. 240." Lin Yaoxie slowly opened his eyes, gesturing for Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian to go eat some pastries and stop kneading.

"That's always been the way Mo Yan is. He never shows any leniency. Anything involving him is dealt with harshly by him!" Zi Xun complained, adding that she had always looked down on him.

Mo Yan is arrogant but lacks real strength, always making a lot of noise but accomplishing little, and only bullying those weaker than him. He also has a particular fondness for fame and values ​​it highly.

"Heh..." Lin Yaoxie chuckled softly. Mo Yan punished his disciple because of their Changliu incident, which had nothing to do with him. If he were to forcibly interfere, then he would be in the wrong.

“If we’re going to meditate for three days, then Shuofeng won’t be able to participate in the trip to Taibai to find the Illusion Bell!” Dongfang said. He had previously communicated with Lin Yaoxie that there might be some unexpected things going to Taibai, so he didn’t want the girls to go on the adventure. He would go with the men.

But now, if Shuofeng can't go, then only he, Lin Yaoxie, and Luo Shiyi will go, which is too few people and they might not be able to take care of everyone.

"The Illusion Bell?" Zi Xun asked, "There's actually news about the Illusion Bell?"

Dongfang nodded and explained, "According to current intelligence, Huan Siling is at the Taibai Sect. More importantly, this news was released by the Taibai Sect itself, and very openly and legitimately. Huan Siling appeared as the Taibai Sect's most treasured artifact during the sect leader's succession ceremony!"

"The treasure of the Taibai Sect? How dare this old Taoist of Taibai say that!" Zi Xun sneered. "This Illusion Bell doesn't belong to the Taibai Sect at all! What a shameless rogue!"

Zi Xun, being of the same generation as Bai Zi Hua, completely disregarded the other sects.

"When shall we set off?" Hua Qiangu asked, somewhat eager to try out the new artifact she had just heard about.

Lin Yaoxie glanced at her, "What's the rush with your rudimentary skills that you've only just learned?!"

"Haha! I feel like I'm different from before! I want to challenge myself!" Hua Qiangu said shyly. Ever since she started practicing her martial arts, she had been looking for an opportunity to test her progress.

"Really? But you've only recently undergone marrow cleansing. During this time, you shouldn't travel back and forth too much, lest your constitution become unstable, making it more difficult to become stronger in the future!" Lin Yaoxie comforted him. He wasn't afraid of the matter concerning Huan Siling, whether it was true or false, or what kind of conspiracy it was. His only concern was the safety of these girls.

As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Xiao Gu was injured, Qing Shui was poisoned, and she wandered far away. This incident made Lin Yaoxie realize how important these girls were to him. This time, when he was looking for Huan Siling, he didn't want them to come along.

“Yes, although the mild water intoxication has subsided, the body hasn't fully recovered and still needs care,” Dongfang said from the side. “Report Four, what do you think this time…”

Dongfang Huoqing finished speaking halfway and then handed the floor to Lin Yaoxie. To him, these girls were all Fourth Madam! None of them were people he could afford to offend!

"Mantian and Xiaogu, you two stay here to take care of Qingshui and look after each other. We'll be back in three days at most," Lin Yaoxie said.

"Brother Yaoxie, can we go together?" Ni Mantian asked, she didn't want to be separated from Lin Yaoxie at all...

“Mantian, Qingshui hasn’t recovered yet, and Xiaogu’s kung fu isn’t up to par either. Although Changliu is relatively safe for now, I’ll feel more at ease leaving you to take care of them. Besides, we’ll be back from Dahouting by the latest!” Lin Yaoxie comforted him.

Ni Mantian nodded. Since what happened last time, she had matured a lot and no longer threw tantrums like a spoiled princess. She was also more obedient to Lin Yaoxie's orders.

"Alright! Brother Yaoxie." Hua Qiangu patted Tang Bao's head. The little bug, feeling a bit down because it couldn't go out to play with Lin Yaoxie, lay on Hua Qiangu's palm.

"Report four, are we going to Taibai Sect? When do we depart? I'd like to go and prepare my things first?" Luo Shiyi said with some surprise. His mood was quite different from before. He needed time to prepare, to inform his master that they were going to Taibai Sect, and then to arrange the follow-up matters.

"We don't need to prepare anything, do we?" Dongfang said, vaguely sensing that something was wrong. He had just gone to the kitchen to get some pastries when he ran into Luo Shiyi carrying lunch, but...

There was a slightly embarrassed expression on Luo Shiyi's face.

So, he must know his true identity? Did Mo Yan tell him? That's why he seemed a little awkward and spoke to me differently than before?

"Okay, no need to prepare anything! Go tell Mo Yan for me that we're preparing to leave for Taibai Sect on May 5.4th!" Lin Yaoxie said. "Tell him to arrange for someone to take good care of Qingshui and the others in the next few days."

"Yes! Report to the fourth!" Luo nodded, agreed, and quickly withdrew.

“I want to go with you too!” Zi Xun said. Although she wasn’t exactly familiar with the Tai Bai Sect, her current status would make things easier for her in some ways.

"Alright!" Lin Yaoxie readily agreed. Leaving Hua Qiangu and Ni Mantian to take turns caring for Qingshui was no problem at all. However, as a dignified immortal, Zi Xun was definitely not someone he could assign to care for a Changliu disciple. Besides, she had been with everyone before, Taibai, and would surely be of help!

Zi Xun was surprised that Lin Yaoxie agreed so readily.

Chapter Ninety: Nothing at All

"Haha! Reporting for four is a clever plan! Looking at the entire Taibai, how many people can rival the strength of Immortal Zi Xun?" Dongfang joked deliberately.

"Fourth Brother, you said the Illusion Bell is in that brocade box?" Luo Shiyi asked, staring at the endless stream of gift boxes. The four of them had arrived at Taibai Sect yesterday, only to discover that every sect, large and small, had come in full force.

"The enthronement ceremony of Taibai Sect is truly magnificent!" Zixun exclaimed. "Even when Bai Zihua of Changliu Sect ascended the throne, it wasn't this grand and spectacular!"

“If this Illusion Bell were simply placed in a brocade box, then the Taibai Sect would probably be the number one sect in heaven and earth!” Dongfang said, continuing Luo Shiyi’s words.

"Haha, let's just watch patiently." Lin Yaoxie stood in the front row, holding his sword, watching the Taibai Sect's ceremony, which went through one step after another. He rubbed his temples wearily. These rituals were really tedious.

"Huh?" Zi Xun pointed to a thin Taibai disciple standing at the corner and said. She felt that he looked familiar, and she seemed to have seen him before 04.

"This is a member of the Seven Killers!" Zi Xun thought for a long time before she remembered where she had seen this person before.

"The Seven Killers?!" Lin Yaoxie asked. It seems that everyone, whether they should have come or not, has come to the Taibai Sect's succession ceremony! It's quite a lively affair.

"The Seven Killers! I wonder if the Taibai Sect knows about this? I'll go and inform their sect leader!" Luo Ho said, about to go and inform them.

“No need to go! Even if we notify them, they might not have the time to deal with the Seven Killings Sect. Besides, the Seven Killings' people coming are mostly after the same thing as us.” Dongfang Huoqing pulled him back and shook her head.

"They share the same goal as us?!" Luo Shiyi repeated, and after a while nodded, knowing that it was indeed the case. Going to inform Taibai Sect now would only alert them. Qi Sha wouldn't have come alone, so they should just wait and see.

"Hmm, no rush. The Seven Killers don't have much patience. They'll eventually jump out on their own!" Lin Yaoxie said. "Let's watch the show."

"Respect Heaven and Earth, thank the gods and spirits, respect all living beings, thank the demons and monsters..." Lin Yaoxie was tired of hearing the Taibai Sect's long list of honorifics.

"Immortal Zi Xun, Sect Leader Tai Bai invites you..." A disciple of Tai Bai Sect approached Zi Xun and her group, cupped his hands in greeting, and said.

"The former sect leader?" Zi Xun asked, puzzled. The succession ceremony was underway, and their former sect leader of Taibai was indeed going to see them.

"Yes, Master Changliu has ordered that if you have a young hero named Lin Yaoxie by your side, you should invite him to come along," the disciple said respectfully.

"Demon, what do you say?" Zi Xun neither nodded nor made a decision, but instead looked at Lin Demon.

“Since it’s necessary for the plot, let’s go!” Lin Yaoxie said, taking the lead and following the junior disciple of Taibai Sect.

"Eleventh Senior Brother, have you been to Taibai Sect before?" Dongfang followed the disciple onto the winding path.

"Yes, I came here two or three times with my master before. The sect leader is very kind and polite, a rare good person," Luo Shiyi recalled. He was still quite young when he came with his master before.

"I wonder what he wants from us?" Zi Xun muttered to herself.

"It shouldn't be a bad thing!" Luo Shiyi said. "Maybe it's telling us the whereabouts of the Illusion Bell!"

Dongfang Huoqing listened to Luo Shiyi's hypothetical scenario and thought he was still quite naive.

"Whatever it is, we'll just have to make the best of it," Lin Yaoxie said.

"Demon, I've discovered you don't like to use your brain!" Zi Xun said, covering her mouth and secretly laughing.

"Haha, it's not that I don't like using my brain, but there's a saying: don't argue with fools. No matter how hard I try, I just can't figure out what fools are thinking!" Lin Yaoxie said.

"You have quite the nerve!" Zi Xun said. "Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

"Haha, Immortal Zixun, you don't know this. We are the fourth in the Bao family. I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to his strength and his mind, he is truly one of a kind in heaven and earth!" Dongfang Aiqing deliberately interjected.

"You talk too much!" Lin Yaoxie slapped him on the head.

"Immortal Zi Xun, Young Hero Lin..." An old man with a weathered appearance sat cross-legged on a futon. He had no hair and was only wrapped in a cotton shirt. His cheeks had become gaunt due to excessive dryness.

"This one, the Pavilion Master of the Yixiu Pavilion is here too, and there are also disciples of Changliu. It's quite a complete lineup." The old man said, his breathing becoming slightly labored, as if his body had already entered the final stage of life.

"I know you've come here to find the Illusion Bell." The old man gestured to his disciple to hand over a token. "The Illusion Bell won't appear at the enthronement ceremony. Go to the Nine Treasures Pavilion, cough..."

"Master, your health..." The disciple sitting below already had tears in his eyes.

"Heh, with the token, they won't stop you!" The old man was only in the last vestiges of his life. "Go! Go!"

Luo Shiyi quickly took the token, and everyone left the room.

"Esteemed benefactors, would you like to be led to the Nine Treasures Pavilion?" the disciple who led the group here asked, bowing.

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother!" Luo nodded.

"Senior Brother Yi, Bao Si hasn't decided whether to go or not yet!" Dongfang Huoqing said.

Luo Shiyi looked somewhat embarrassed. "Ah, I heard in the news that there were 240 soldiers to block the water and dam the earth, I thought it meant..."
