Zhutian: Starting from being forced to bind

Biyao retorted: "Why can't I sit still?"

"What about the Ghost King Sect?" Lu Xueqi asked, "It's true that Junior Brother Chen promised you, but if the Ghost King Sect strikes first, you can't stop Junior Brother Chen from fighting back, right?"

Bi Yao was speechless at this point. She only hated her own weak strength. If she could control the Ghost King Sect, she would definitely not go against Chen Xi. It seemed that she had to speed up her training.

Because of Chen Xi, the three women formed a united front and worked hard for his ambition. During the three days, the two girls, Lu Xueqi and Biyao, also regarded Kawakami Tomie as a love mentor and liked to tell her everything in their hearts. Gradually, their thoughts became more and more crooked, and sometimes they felt that something seemed to be wrong, but when they thought about it carefully, they inexplicably felt that Tomie's words made sense.

Three days later, Chen Xi shared his insights with the three of them. After Bi Yao memorized them carefully, she had to go back and report to Wan Renwang.

"There's no rush for this." Chen Xi stopped him: "Your father should also be in Liubo Mountain. You might as well go back to your Ghost King Sect's base and wait for him. Don't go to Liubo Mountain."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Bi Yao agreed and also made her own request: "Don't forget what you promised me."

"As I remember, I will definitely not kill your father. I may not be able to beat your father now. As for the others, I can't guarantee it."

"I understand. If someone attacks you, you can fight back. But don't hit those who are on good terms with me too hard."

"I promise you."

"So...I'm leaving?"

"Let's go, I'll take you out."

Bi Yao said goodbye to Kawakami Tomie. She really liked this caring elder sister. When she arrived at Lu Xueqi's place, she turned her head proudly and left.

Even though they were on a united front, Biyao was still unhappy with Lu Xueqi, and vice versa.

Outside the inn, Chen Xi took advantage of Lu Xueqi's absence to say some sweet words to Bi Yao, which made her ears turn red. She fled from here in a panic. If she didn't leave, Bi Yao was afraid that she would not be able to leave.

You Ji, who had been hiding in the city, also left with them. She had not disturbed Bi Yao for the previous three days. She was relieved that the girl was with Chen Xi.

Bi Yao and You Ji returned all the way to Fox Mountain. Chen Xi and the other two also found a guide and headed to Liubo Mountain.

Chapter 287 The Truth about Caomiao Village

In Liubo Mountain, the righteous sect and the evil sect are clearly divided, and it has not yet come to the time for an all-out war, but there are many minor frictions in private.

After Chen Xi and the other two arrived, they immediately reunited with the people from Qingyun Sect. They were all very happy to see each other again, and Tian Ling'er even threw herself directly into Chen Xi's arms.

Actually, they had not been apart for too long, so the suppressed longing had not exploded to this extent. However, as soon as she saw Lu Xueqi, Tian Ling'er felt a strong sense of crisis, so she declared her sovereignty regardless of the consequences.

Junior brother is mine!

What surprised Tian Ling'er was that Lu Xueqi didn't react at all. Her expression was still cold and her eyes were calm.

Could it be that I misunderstood?

Of course, Tian Ling'er didn't know that Lu Xueqi's mentality had changed. She didn't even think about fighting for any status. Although she felt uncomfortable seeing her lover hugging Tian Ling'er, she controlled herself.

Thinking of Junior Sister Tomie's words, Lu Xueqi deeply agreed with them. In order to achieve the ultimate goal, temporary forbearance and concession were necessary.

At Su Ru's call, Tian Ling'er let go of her hand and stood there with a red face, looking at Qi Hao in the distance with disheartened face.

During this period, Qi Hao wanted to poach Chen Xi while she was away, but Tian Ling'er simply ignored him, and the two of them didn't even have a chance to be alone together.

Chen Xi politely greeted his master and mistress, and then met Uncle Cangsong. Then he saw someone he had never seen before. The latter smiled at him and introduced himself, "Junior Brother Chen, nice to meet you. I am Xiao Yicai."

All the people in the Blood Refining Hall were killed, so Xiao Yicai no longer needed to go undercover, and he went straight to Qingyun Sect to meet up with the others.

Chen Xi hurriedly greeted him. No matter what, Xiao Yicai was considered the eldest senior brother of their generation.

Xiao Yicai's mood was also complicated, but he was open-minded and was only thinking about how to strengthen Qingyun Sect. If a more suitable person appeared, he would not mind handing over the position of future headmaster.

Xiao Yicai had no opinion about Chen Xi. He was just better than him and had greater development potential. The two of them had a pleasant meeting.

In addition to the people from Qingyun Sect, people from other sects also came. Most of them were small forces that Chen Xi had never heard of. Among the big forces, Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley were both there.

The people from Fenxiang Valley immediately came to ask Chen Xi and others whether they had seen Li Xun and Yan Hong.

The only person who could answer this question was Kawakami Tomie. She explained the situation at the time: "Senior Brother Li and Senior Sister Yan left in advance because of something, and they didn't tell me where they were going."

Zeng Shushu had said this once before, and the people from Fenxiang Valley kept asking, "Did you encounter this again in your subsequent operations?"

"No." Kawakami Tomie shook her head and said, "We hurried all the way here, and we haven't even heard of Brother Li and Sister Yan, let alone seen them."

The people from Fenxiang Valley bowed and saluted: "Excuse me."

"Nothing." Kawakami Tomie said indifferently, and did not ask any other questions. After all, they were from different sects, and it would be abnormal to care about each other too much.

On the other side, Chen Xi, Tian Buyi and Su Ru gathered together and talked about their experience this time. They mainly talked about their own gains, but also mixed in some personal thoughts.

For the trip to Kongsang Mountain, the people sent by Tianyin Temple were still Fashang and Fashan, while the equally highly anticipated Shadow Guard went to other places for training.

Chen Xi and Shadow Guard had already made contact in private, and the latter became his source of intelligence. The reason was also ready-made. As a monk, Shadow Guard could not bear to see the Qingyun Sect, which was also a righteous sect, being deceived.

At this time, Chen Xi told Tian Buyi all the information he had 'inquired' about: "The Dharma Guard of Tianyin Temple and I hit it off right away and have a good relationship. That's why he told me the truth."

Tian Buyi and Su Ru listened silently, and the more they listened, the more frightened they became. In the end, they stood up in a panic. Is there a traitor in Qingyun Sect? !

"If Master Puzhi hadn't insisted on returning to Tianyin Temple, this matter would have really become an unsolved case. Even now, Tianyin Temple is still hiding the truth, so we have to be on guard."

Tian Buyi pondered for a moment and asked, "Who do you think that man in black is?"

"Anyone who can fight with Master Puzhi must be a cultivator in the Upper Pure Realm, and he must also know the Secret Art of Divine Sword and Lightning Control. After narrowing the scope, there are not many suspects, but if you ask me, I suspect Uncle Cangsong."

"Why?" Tian Buyi asked. In fact, he also had a feeling in his heart that he was Master Cangsong.

"Master, you should know that one of my abilities is specifically for suppressing evil and crooked ways. I call it the Holy Light System, so I have a keen intuition about those things."

"You mean... Senior Brother Cangsong gave you a bad impression?"

"Yes, I had this feeling when I first became a disciple in Yuqing Palace. I didn't think much about it at the time, including during the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition, when Master Cangsong intervened in my competition twice. He was very close to me at the time, and that feeling was even stronger."

"How do you think we should deal with the matter of Caomiao Village?"

"We can't hide it. The more we hide it, the more it will alienate Brother Seven. Let me handle this matter."

"Where's Lin Jingyu?"

"Leave it alone for now, so as not to alert the enemy. We should inform the head teacher as soon as possible. I always feel that Master Cangsong is planning a big game, so it's best to be more cautious."

"Old Seven... he's extremely stubborn. Are you sure?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Seven is a very sentimental person. He grew up in Dazhu Peak, and everyone here is his family. He will not give up on us unless it is absolutely necessary."

"I'm worried that he won't be able to control himself after knowing the truth."

"I'll keep an eye on him. Senior Brother Seven's magic weapon is a bit weird, but I happen to be able to control it."

"What about the matter of Mahavairocana?"

"Just play dumb. As long as Senior Brother Seven doesn't use it in public, does Tianyin Temple dare to announce it to the world?"

"You mean to let Old Seven practice both Buddhism and Taoism?"

"Yes, Master. After I got the Heavenly Book this time, I also discovered that not only Buddhism and Taoism, but even the magic sect's skills can be found in the Heavenly Book."

"You mean..." Tian Buyi was shocked again.

"It is very likely that all the cultivation techniques in this world originated from the Heavenly Book. It is just that different people have different understandings of it, which has led to the current situation."

"If your guess is true, this is a huge event!"

"I am confident that I can prove it, but I need time. It just so happens that Senior Brother Seven is also practicing both Buddhism and Taoism. If I can be sure that he will not defect, I plan to teach him the contents of the Heavenly Book."

"Buddhism and Taoism are dual cultivation, Buddhism and Taoism are dual cultivation." Tian Buyi paced on the spot, muttering to himself, and finally made a decision: "I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll be responsible for talking to the head master brother."

"Yes." Chen Xi bowed and accepted the task.

Su Ru knocked on the table and said, "It's not easy. Control your expression. If Senior Brother Cangsong is really that person, he must be very scheming. If there is anything wrong with you, he will notice it."

"Madam is right." Tian Buyi hurriedly controlled his emotions and made himself look no different from usual.

Seeing her husband recover, Su Ru continued, "Xiao Fan, can he really control it?"

"Yes." Chen Xi assured, "Seventh Senior Brother is not as cowardly and simple as he looks. He just never uses tricks, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any."

"You do know Old Seven."

"Yes, he is my senior brother after all. Even though we don't have much contact on a daily basis, I think I am pretty good at judging people."

"Then tell me, why can't you wait until you get back to tell Old Seven the truth?"

"The sooner I know, the better. I'm afraid someone is whispering something in Senior Brother Seven's ear. People from Tianyin Temple are here too. Who knows if they have evil intentions."

Tian Buyi deeply believed that the other party must have some calculations, otherwise they would not have kept the truth from Qingyun Sect. He said, "You must keep the matter of the Dharma Guard secret and don't put him in an unjust position."

"The disciple understands."

"Then go ahead. I'll leave Lao Qi's affairs to you." Tian Buyi waved his hand: "I'm at ease with you doing the work."

"Yes, the disciple retire."

Chen Xi went to where the disciples of Dazhu Peak were. He first talked with a group of senior brothers for a while, and then extended an invitation: "Seventh Senior Brother, do you have time?"

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Junior Brother, is there something wrong?"

"Well, something happened." Chen Xi bowed to the other brothers and apologized: "Dear brothers, I have something to ask Brother Seven, so..."

Song Daren smiled indifferently: "It's okay, go and do your work, don't worry about us."

"Thank you for your understanding, brother."

Chen Xi took the confused Zhang Xiaofan away from the base. The two flew farther and farther, and found a deserted place, where they stopped.

It's best not to hide anything from Zhang Xiaofan. Just say whatever you think. He hates being lied to the most.

Chen Xi got straight to the point and said, "Seventh Senior Brother, when I was out for training this time, I got some news about the tragedy in Caomiao Village."

Hearing these five words, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes instantly turned red, and he rushed towards Chen Xi: "Junior brother, tell me quickly!"

"Holy Purification!" Chen Xi tapped his fingers lightly, and a holy light enveloped Zhang Xiaofan. The latter let out a scream and fell to the ground in pain.

"Seventh Senior Brother, you have to be careful and don't let the magic weapon in your arms control your mind."

Zhang Xiaofan twitched for a long time before he calmed down, stood up again, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Junior Brother, I couldn't control myself for a moment."

"It's nothing. I don't blame you. It's all because of that thing in your arms. I'll tell you about that thing later. Let's talk about Caomiao Village first."

After Zhang Xiaofan calmed down, he no longer went crazy because of this. Instead, he became more stable: "Thank you, Junior Brother. Please tell me the truth."

During the time that Chen Xi was talking about, Zhang Xiaofan showed signs of being possessed by a demon several times, and was interrupted again and again by the sacred purification technique. Although he suffered a lot, he also avoided being transformed by a demon.

After all the truth was told, Zhang Xiaofan had to believe it even if he was unwilling to do so, as there was too much evidence.

After being hit by several holy purification spells, Zhang Xiaofan sat on the ground weakly, smiled bitterly and said: "Junior brother, I still want to keep the secret. After all, I call him Master, who would have thought..."

Zhang Xiaofan's tears fell down. At this moment, he was not only sad about the deaths of those people in Cao Miao Village, but also felt extremely aggrieved. He was so frustrated that he couldn't even vent.

Zhang Xiaofan's thinking is rather paranoid. Once he makes up his mind about something, he basically cannot back down. Fortunately, Chen Xi's words shifted more of the hatred onto Tianyin Temple. Qingyun Sect was wrong, but not much.

Without the influence of the soul-stealing rod, Zhang Xiaofan was not possessed by the devil and still had his sanity intact, but deep in his heart he still hated the Tianyin Temple and the man from the Qingyun Sect.

"Brother, please tell me, who is that person?"

"Master Cangsong is the most suspicious, but there is no evidence yet."

"That's enough." Zhang Xiaofan knew in his heart that without absolute certainty, his junior brother would not directly name Master Cangsong.

"This is the truth of the matter. If you want revenge, I can help you, but I have two conditions."

"Junior brother, please speak." Zhang Xiaofan didn't care about anything as long as he could get revenge, even if he had to die afterwards.

"First, before Master Cangsong does anything, you have to pretend that you don't know. The sect still needs him to investigate what's going on behind the scenes."

Zhang Xiaofan remained silent.

"If Brother Seven can't do it, or can't perform this scene well, I will have no choice but to send you back to the sect early."

"I will do it well." Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "I will play this scene well."

"Very good, Senior Brother Seven, don't worry about Lin Jingyu. He knows nothing, and Senior Uncle Cangsong has no intention of harming him."

Zhang Xiaofan felt a little more relaxed, as he was also afraid that Lin Jingyu would suffer a loss.

"As for Lin Jingyu, I won't tell him for now. As for the second condition, you must never betray Qingyun Sect."

Zhang Xiaofan looked up in astonishment. Doesn’t his junior brother believe in him?

"Seventh Senior Brother, you know your character very well. You are very paranoid, easily influenced, and have extreme thoughts. When you think wrong about something, it gets out of control. Everyone feels sorry for what happened in Cao Miao Village. Your enemy is only Senior Uncle Cangsong, not the entire Qingyun Sect. It can be said that the sect has not treated you unfairly. Instead, it has nurtured you. You have to acknowledge this favor."

Zhang Xiaofan did not refute and nodded.

"I gained a lot of opportunities during this trip, which will help you improve your strength, but this is an opportunity that belongs to Qingyun Sect. Do you understand what I mean?"

"clear."
