Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

'What is the origin of this foundation?'

"It actually made Palace Master Zhang smile?"

All the cultivators who knew Zhang Haiyun knew that he had always been jealous of men who were more handsome than him, which made the current situation even more strange.

******

Behind Zhang Haiyun, there were five female cultivators following closely, all of whom were of outstanding appearance.

One of the women avoided the other's gaze, as if she didn't want to meet Anle and the others.

Jiang Junliang didn't even look at her, his face was cold and indifferent, as if they were strangers.

"Ah, isn't this Brother Jiang?"

Zhang Haiyun smiled and said, "Long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"I miss you so much, Xiaoman, don't you think so?"

The one whose name was called was the female cultivator who avoided my gaze. She could only nod awkwardly: "Yes."

Jiang Junliang remained calm and said solemnly, "Palace Master Zhang, the Great Tai Divine Dynasty has sent a group of monks to sneak into Xuyuan in an attempt to use this place as a stepping stone to go deeper into the main city of Taixu."

"Please ask Palace Master Zhang to pass this news to the Palace Masters of other branch palaces as soon as possible. This is a serious matter. I hope Palace Master Zhang will not delay it because of personal grudges."

Hearing this, Zhang Haiyun frowned: "Is this true?"

He was silent for a moment, as if in deep thought.

Anle thought Zhang Haiyun would change his attitude, but he didn't expect his next sentence to be -

"So, where's the evidence?"

Zhang Haiyun stared at Jiang Junliang with deep eyes and said calmly: "Words are not enough. Brother Jiang, you don't think that such empty words can convince me, right?"

Jiang Junliang's face darkened: "Those cultivators of the Great Tai Dynasty all exploded their golden elixirs before they died, leaving no trace of their bodies. I have no evidence."

Hearing this, Zhang Haiyun sighed.

"Friend Jiang, I understand your desire to retaliate against me, but the matter has already passed. There is no need to come up with such a clumsy lie, right?"

At this moment, Ye Ling'er suddenly displayed the aura of a Nascent Soul, full of oppression, and her powerful aura made everyone look sideways.

Zhang Haiyun couldn't help but look surprised.

Ye Linger said in a deep voice: "I am the second disciple of Elder Gu Shanshan. I can guarantee with my life that Daoist Jiang is not lying!"

"Elder Gu..."

Zhang Haiyun's face slightly changed color, but he quickly returned to normal and said seriously, "I understand."

"However, as Daoist Jiang said, this matter is of great importance. Even I cannot jump to conclusions. I need to verify it myself before I can pass on the news."

"Otherwise, I can't bear this crime with my small body."

Ye Ling'er frowned and was about to speak, but then she thought that what Zhang Haiyun said made sense, so she just shut up.

"However, in order to avoid causing unrest among the people, I ask all Taoist friends not to spread this news to others for the time being."

Zhang Haiyun said gently: "You must be very tired after traveling so far. I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you..."

******

After this, Zhang Haiyun showed great kindness.

Not only did he prepare a sumptuous and delicious banquet, he also ordered people to take Anle and the other three to enjoy the artificial hot springs in the fortress. Finally, he arranged a place for them to rest and invited them to stay in the Qinghan branch hall for a while.

Not to mention Ye Ling'er, even An Le could not find any fault with this series of arrangements.

Before resting, the four of them met again in Anle's room.

After setting up the soundproofing array, Cheng Yuemei spoke first: "I see, Palace Master Zhang... doesn't seem to be a bad guy?"

At the banquet just now, Ye Ling'er ate very happily. Now she touched her belly and said, "It's really good that they are willing to give me delicious food."

But she changed the subject and said seriously: "But I feel...he is definitely not a good person!"

"The way he looks at me is also weird..."

Anle looked at Ye Ling'er in surprise. He thought that his senior sister was overwhelmed by Zhang Haiyun's food offensive, but unexpectedly she was unusually sober.

If you think about it carefully, although Second Sister is straightforward, she is never stupid. She also has a unique mysterious intuition that allows her to judge the malice and kindness of others.

Ye Ling'er's judgment is consistent with Anle's idea.

During the conversation just now, Zhang Haiyun always gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.

He doubted that the other party would ever pass on the news.

"By the way, Senior Sister, are you not getting fatter?"

Anle looked at Ye Ling'er and asked in surprise.

After the banquet that night, Ye Linger, who had eaten who knows how much animal meat and spiritual fruits, became plump again, and her figure began to become fuller.

"Eh? Is there any?"

Ye Ling'er pinched the flesh around her waist and said in surprise, "Really?"

“Is my meat finally coming back?”

"No, I have to work harder and eat more tonight."

If an ordinary woman heard this news, she would probably feel like the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. Only Ye Ling'er would react like this.

For her, gaining weight also means a recovery in strength.

This is my last leave this month! I will start the horror update mode from now on!

I think I've been too lazy recently, so I'll take a day off and adjust myself today. Starting tomorrow until the end of this month, I'll update 6000 words a day!

If you can’t do it, dress up as a woman and apologize!

Chapter 181 Foundation building is complete!

Qinghan branch hall.

In the largest and most special room.

The layout here is even more luxurious. The floor is made of the finest golden jade agarwood, and one inch of it can be sold for several medium-quality spirit stones. The wall material is like jade, which constantly purifies the air and absorbs spiritual energy. There is also a large bed in the room that can accommodate several people sleeping together, which is enough to show the daily luxury of the owner of the room.

Zhang Haiyun was leaning on the big bed, with two beautiful female cultivators beside him.

Jiang Junliang’s former Taoist partner, Shen Man, was also among them.

She frowned and asked softly, "Shouldn't we pass this information to other branches?"

Zhang Haiyun shook his head: "Not to mention that the authenticity of this information has not been verified yet, even if it is true, I will not spread it."

Shen Man said worriedly: "But if this happens, it might cause a lot of casualties, right?"

"Xiao Man, you are too naive."

Zhang Haiyun said: "How can there be no deaths in war?"

"But at least I can reduce the number of deaths of my colleagues in the Qinghan Branch Hall."

The fact that Zhang Haiyun chose to conceal the news temporarily had nothing to do with Jiang Junliang, but was mainly due to his selfish motives.

It is conceivable that after he passed on this information, the higher-ups would certainly ask the Qinghan Branch to search for and eliminate the monks of the Datai Divine Dynasty in the periphery. Such an action would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous, and would cause losses to the Qinghan Branch's manpower, and would also consume a lot of supplies.

If it were a new hall master, he might not care about the casualties of his subordinates.

But for Zhang Haiyun, he has already regarded this branch temple as his own property, and most of the monks here are his loyal and capable subordinates.

This is like the military towns in some remote areas in ancient times, which nominally belonged to the imperial court, but in fact were used as private armies by local generals.

How could Zhang Haiyun be willing to devote himself to a war that has no benefits but only disadvantages?

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to be the local emperor here, and was unwilling to assume the responsibility of guarding the sect.

"It's enough for us to live a carefree life. Why should we worry about such a small matter?"

As he spoke, Zhang Haiyun hugged the beauty beside him and grinned.

He looked at the gorgeous room in front of him, his face full of satisfaction: "I have been conquering for my whole life, can't I enjoy myself?"

Shen Man still looked a little worried: "What if someone from the Great Tai Dynasty attacks us..."

"Oh, if they know what's good for them, they can stay away from us. But if they really dare to come, we will make sure they never come back!"

"And I can get some military merit for free."

Zhang Haiyun's confidence is not without reason. He has served in the Qinghan branch for decades. With his superb attainments in magic arrays, this place has been built to be impregnable.

Unless a Spiritual Transformation Realm Master comes in person, even if several Nascent Soul Realms attack for several days, it is impossible to penetrate the defense of the fortress.

And if other branches of Taixu Palace were attacked, perhaps he could take this opportunity to annex their resources and monks.

"By the way, have their identities been checked out?"

Zhang Haiyun asked another female cultivator next to him.

Although the Qinghan Branch Hall is far away from the Taixu Palace, it is not without means of communication with the outside world. It can even communicate directly with the monks in the world through complicated and mysterious rituals.

However, the price to pay is not small.

If it weren't for the supernatural powers displayed by Anle, Zhang Haiyun would not have been so careful to verify their identities.

“It’s basically clear.”

The female cultivator replied, "Cheng Yuemei is just an ordinary Jindan in the Lingzi Palace. Her master and strength are ordinary. There is no need to pay too much attention to her."

"Jiang Junliang is originally from the Jiang family..."

Zhang Haiyun frowned: "I know everything about him, no need to say more, just get to the point."

"Ye Ling'er and Anle are both disciples of the Spiritualization Elder Gu Shanshan. As for Anle..."

After listening to the information summarized by the female cultivator, Zhang Haiyun was somewhat surprised: "He is not a descendant of an aristocratic family, but just a casual cultivator who just entered the Taixu Palace this year?"

"They didn't have any sect or faction before. Doesn't that mean they have no roots at all?"

Zhang Haiyun's expression was not very good.

He had seen Anle's awe-inspiring aura and his outstanding talent, and thought that he had some powerful backer, so he temporarily gave in. But... just like this?

The direct disciple of Elder Huashen sounds impressive, but he cannot scare others in this remote and poor branch temple.

"I overestimated him."

The female cultivator continued, “I heard that he seems to have some rift with a young master of the Xia family.”

Zhang Haiyun nodded, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "I understand."

"And his senior sister is rare to see..."

However, Zhang Haiyun did not notice that in the corner of the room, there was a pair of black and white eyes staring at him coldly.

******

Not long after.

A figure in red quietly returned to Anle's room and repeated everything she had heard and seen.

"Sure enough."

Anle was not surprised by Zhang Haiyun's attitude.

Although he disguised himself very well, his selfishness in his bones was obvious.

Confirming this in advance will undoubtedly facilitate Anle's next actions.

"It's probably unrealistic to leave here as soon as possible... He might stop us with various excuses."

"It is not wise to confront head-on."

"We still have to test it out in the simulation first..."

After a brief thought, Anle smiled and thanked the woman in red.

"It's all thanks to you."

After Xiao Xiaohong became able to communicate normally like an ordinary person, she had a natural advantage in eavesdropping on intelligence.
