I am a villain and have been captured. Why are the fairies asking me to come out?

The guards and servants all recognized Li Qingyao's face. She had no problems all the way to the inner hall, where she saw a young woman who looked somewhat similar to Li Qingyao but was a few years older sitting at a purple wooden table, holding a jade slip with a frown on her face.

The woman at the table was Li Qingxian, Li Qingyao's elder sister, Li Yanze's eldest daughter, the chief of the inner sect of Yaoguang Sect, and the young patriarch of the Li family.

"Sister."

Li Qingyao changed her usual willful and unruly behavior, bowed to her obediently and respectfully, then knelt beside the young woman, quietly waiting for her to finish reading the contents of the jade slip.

After about an incense stick of time, Li Qingxian put down the jade slip in his hand, rubbed his brows, sighed softly, and then looked sideways at the girl sitting next to him: "Sister Yao, what's the important matter that you want to talk to me about?"

"If there's nothing important, can't you come to see your sister?"

Before her elder sister could rush her away like she usually did, Li Qingyao hurriedly said, "Sister, the disciple in charge of the Heavenly Prison told me that yesterday someone claiming to be the Sect Master's first disciple entered Lower Nine Netherworld. Not only did he have the Sect Master's Jade Token, he also had the Sealed Blade that the Sect Master used in the past."

"The master's first disciple..." the woman murmured in a low voice.

Li Yanze is dead, and Yiniao is the only one who is practicing spirit cultivation in Yaoguang Sect. It would be fine if she doesn't accept disciples. But if she does, it will undoubtedly threaten her position as the current chief.

The Li family no longer has a supreme elder, and if they also lose the position of the chief of the inner sect, it will inevitably feel like their days are numbered.

"My father gave her the position of the head of the sect because she was obedient. Humph... When my father was alive, she pretended to be indifferent to worldly affairs. Now that my father died in the Western Regions, this bitch secretly accepted an apprentice and wanted to seize my Li family..."

"enough."

Li Qingxian scolded coldly, "Before my father passed away, he told me that he had handed over the clan order to the headmaster. There is no other spiritual cultivator in the sect except her. In the future, the family will have to rely on the headmaster for protection. Don't go and make a fuss about it and bring trouble to the clan."

After she finished speaking, perhaps because she felt her tone was too harsh, she continued in a soft voice, "You don't have to worry about the sect's power being taken away by the sect leader. All matters in Yaoguang are controlled by the clan's disciples. If Yi Niaoniao wants to do something against the will of the Li family, she must first find something to hold against my Li family and find a reason to clean up the sect from top to bottom. As I am cautious in doing things, I will definitely not give her this excuse. Besides..."

The woman put the jade slip back on the table, looking at the pile of secret letters on the table, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, "My cultivation has now reached the perfection of Yuantai, and there is a family secret place to help me practice. In a few years, I will be able to enter the realm of refining spirits. If the master's disciple wants to be the chief, let him be. As long as I can take over my father's former position, the clan will no longer need to rely on the master to survive, and taking back the clan order is just a matter of words. Before that, don't do anything wrong outside."

She took out a jade token from her sleeve pouch and placed it in her sister's hand. "I brought back a lot of precious herbs and jade from the Western Regions this time. You can pick some from them and try to suppress the head disciple and take my position as soon as possible."

"I will keep your words in mind." Li Qingyao held the jade token that still carried her elder sister's body temperature. She was overjoyed and held back her smile. She opened her big lake-blue eyes and said, "I will work hard to cultivate and live up to my elder sister's reputation!"

The woman nodded and said, "Send someone to bring over the person that the head disciple of the sect leader, whom I saw yesterday, here. I have something to ask him."

……

Outside the gate of Yaoguang Mountain, a tall figure stood with a cane.

Not far in front of him, several Yaoguang disciples wearing Taoist robes were trembling with fear, not daring to look up at the burning eyes.

"It's not the leader, but the chief who comes to see me." Qing Changhuan sneered.

If Fairy Yaoguang still had the ability to come back, this period of time would be enough for her to rush back to the sect, and it would not be the chief of the Li family who came to see him at this moment.

Since she didn't come back, it meant that she was really killed by the people of the Demon Cult in Jiuling Town as the Supreme Elder said. Even her body was taken away. She died and was wiped out from the world.

Even though the Zhenyang Sect was not good at calculating destiny, they had accumulated some instruments for calculating destiny over the years. Without exception, they had calculated a deadly hexagram for Sect Leader Yaoguang. With the endorsement of the Tianji Sect, there was no chance that Yi Niao would survive.

"The leader of a sect is so timid that he dares not meet me." He laughed, "Since Yaoguang is so unbearable, I will go up the mountain to meet your chief!"

Chapter 191: Reality and Falsehood

When Qing Changhuan entered the Yaoguang Sect, a young cultivator of the Ningmai Technique named Wu Chang was also brought from the Lower Jiuyou to Li Qingxian.

Just the palaces and buildings he saw along the way were enough to open Wu Chang's eyes, not to mention seeing Li Qingxian's beautiful and fairy-like appearance.

The young patriarch of the Li family was usually high and mighty, and his words could determine the fate of countless people. A young cultivator like Wu Chang knelt on the ground in fear when they first met, and told him everything he had seen and heard:

"Chief Fairy, a few days ago, I was guarding the mountain trail and accidentally saw a fox-faced boy carrying a girl up the mountain from an uninhabited place. I saw that the girl's face was pale, so I stepped forward to ask, and when I got closer, I found that she was dead..."

Wu Chang trembled, his hair loose and he stared at the ground, speaking with injustice and hatred, "I was guarding the way up the mountain diligently, but was caught by that fox-faced boy and thrown into prison. I don't know what he wanted to do, but he must have had bad intentions. Please help me, Chief!"

When her younger sister Li Qingyao came to visit, the jade slip in Li Qingxian's hand was sent by Qing Changhuan. The content engraved on the jade slip told her that the leader of Yaoguang Sect, Yi Niaoniao, had died at the hands of the Demon Cult.

Of course, she would not easily believe the words of her enemies. The mystery of her father's death was still vivid in her mind, which made Li Qingxian know that the immortal sect would do anything for the sake of profit.

She could not trust the words of Qing Changhuan's family at all.

Yaoguang's magical power has always been good at escaping, and the head of the sect is a spiritual cultivator, so how could he die so easily in the hands of the demon sect? If she rashly took the Li family to join Zhenyang, and the head of the sect came back alive, Qing Changhuan could just abandon the Li family and leave, and she and her family would be doomed.

But now, she heard that the leader's disciples were carrying a girl's body up the mountain...

Is it possible that the leader is really dead?

Li Qingxian's expression kept changing.

As the eldest daughter of Li Yanze, she inherited Elder Li's calm character. After her initial shock, she quickly realized that the news was too simple.

If the sect leader didn't want others to know about this, they could just kill Wu Chang instead of locking him up in the prison...

Such a mysterious trick was used to attract her to send people to investigate, and it was obviously to tell her that the leader was dead.

Considering the intentions of the Zhenyang and Tianji sects, the other party's sinister intentions are obvious.

As the head of the Immortal Sect, he used this despicable means to trick her into leading the Li family to join the Zhenyang Sect so that he would have a reason to take action against the Li family.

Li Qingxian's pretty face was icy cold, she gritted her teeth and whispered: "Yi Niaoniao... Father even gave up the position of the head of the sect to you in the past, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious!"

She used the secret technique of the soul acquired from the Western Regions and inserted a silver needle straight into Wu Chang's fontanelle, which made him speak in confusion.

It turned out that Wu Chang had indeed seen with his own eyes the fox-faced young man carrying the girl up the mountain alone that day, but the girl was not a dead body, but was still breathing, sobbing and calling the disciple's name.

Wu Chang also said that the girl was in a strange state, as if she had been hit by some vicious spell.

As for what was wrong with the girl, no matter what means Li Qingxian used to interrogate him, Wu Chang was completely unable to explain.

"It was eliminated by the master's disciple's spell... I didn't expect that person to be so clumsy and yet act so cautiously."

Li Qingxian felt sarcastic but also a little scared.

If the other party's methods were not too crude, and if it weren't for the fact that as a disciple of Yaoguang he was not very proficient in the secret arts of the soul and could not tamper with too much consciousness, and if he hadn't happened to have obtained the soul-searching witchcraft from the Western Regions, he might have been deceived by him this time, and in order to save the Li family he betrayed Yaoguang and eventually dragged the family into the abyss.

But then again, since the other party is not good at the secret arts of the soul, how can he be sure to deceive her with this little trick?

Li Qingxian didn't believe that the other party, as a disciple of the sect leader, would be so naive. He was so blatant. Maybe he was trying to warn the Li family and let her, Li Qingxian, know that the sect leader was still in the sect, monitoring her every move.

Even though the head of the sect was seriously injured and unable to show up in person for a short period of time, the Li family still didn't dare to have any evil thoughts.

She took a deep breath and used a secret method to check again and again. After confirming that Wu Chang was not lying this time, she ordered people to take him away.

……

Facing the chief disciple of Zhenyang Sect, the people in front of the gate of Yaoguang Mountain did not dare to neglect him and greeted him respectfully with a smile.

With Qing Changhuan's temper, he was too disdainful to make things difficult for these youngsters. However, when he sat down in the water pavilion again, he saw a cold-blooded man in a yin-yang Taoist robe standing beside the railing, leaning against it and overlooking the garden and the water.

"Brother Yu Dao, you came so early."

Qing Changhuan looked a little unhappy.

This attempt to seize Yaoguang Mountain was led by the Zhenyang Sect behind him. Afterwards, some people used this as an excuse to criticize him, and most of the criticism fell on the Zhenyang Sect.

The Tianji Sect said that they were providing support, but they just wanted to take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie from the Zhenyang Sect.

Since he had taken advantage of others, he should have known his limits. However, Yu Qi carried him up the mountain without even saying hello. It was unknown what kind of shady dealings this man had with the Yaoguang Sect before he arrived.

Yu Qi glanced at him sideways and said in a low voice, "Daoyou, why worry so much? I only arrived a moment earlier than you, and I still haven't been able to see Chief Yaoguang."

These words directly expressed what Qing Changhuan was thinking, which made him feel a little relieved, but also made him lose some face.

He is just the second son of the sect master, how can he speak to him like this...

Qing Changhuan stared at him for a while, suppressed his inner anger, sat down beside the stone table, took out a pot of fairy wine and started drinking.

Regardless of whether what Yu Qi said was true or not, he was not worried that the other party would betray him and secretly prevent the Zhenyang Sect from occupying Yaoguang Mountain.

There are only a few immortal mountains in the world. If you take away one of them without the knowledge of other immortal sects, they will surely be envied. The Zhenyang Sect is in urgent need of the immortal mountain to help its disciples practice, so it is willing to bear this infamy. The Tianji Sect already has one immortal mountain, so it is useless to plunder another one. As long as the leader of the Tianji Sect has not gone crazy, he will surely not want to cause trouble for himself.

Even if Yu Qi really met the leader of the Yaoguang Sect and took away some of the benefits that originally belonged to the Zhenyang Sect, as long as it did not touch the Immortal Mountain, it would not be a big deal for Yu Qing Changhuan and the sect behind him.

The news of the two men going up the mountain was quickly passed on to the chief of the inner sect by the disciples at the foot of the mountain.

Not long after, a ray of fairy light flew down from the Li family's ancestral mountain and transformed into a woman in a white robe with gold patterns outside the waterside pavilion.

"My daughter Li Qingxian greets Chief Qing and Master Yu."

Li Qingxian was extremely polite to the two people from major sects.

The backer behind her has fallen, and the Li family is now weak and helpless. If she had not occupied the position of the chief of the Yaoguang Sect, she would not have been qualified to sit across the table from the two people in front of her.

If he wanted to revive the Li family and get rid of the control of other immortal sects and their leaders, he had to enter the realm of spiritual cultivation...

While instructing the maid to serve tea to the distinguished guest, she recalled the news she had just received from Wu Chang.

The sect leader's disciples, or perhaps the sect leader himself, used Wu Chang to pressure her into dealing with the Zhenyang and Tianji sects. In the end, the Li family would bear the blame from the two sects, while the sect leader himself would reap the benefits.

The idea is good, but she, Li Qingxian, is not a weak woman who can be bullied by others.

After a brief exchange of greetings, she sighed sadly:

"I know why you two are here. My father died in battle in the Western Regions, and it is rumored that the leader died at the hands of the Demon Sect. The Yaoguang Sect is guilty of possessing the treasure, and it is difficult for them to defend the fairy mountain. But just now I heard someone report that the fairy leader is blessed by heaven. Although she is seriously injured, her life is temporarily safe. She has now returned to Yaoguang Mountain to recuperate. I am a nobody, so please forgive me for not being able to make a decision for you two."

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she deliberately emphasized the word "seriously injured".

Rather than being caught between the sect leader and the Zhen Yang Sect and being used as a pawn by one side, it would be better to divert the trouble away and let the Zhen Yang Sect deal with the seriously injured sect leader themselves.

As for who wins or loses between the Zhenyang Sect and its leader, it is none of her business.

The Li family will naturally side with whoever the final winner is.

After saying that, she knocked on the table and asked several servants to bring up Wu Chang, who had disheveled hair and was unconscious.

"Tell the two distinguished guests again what you saw that day." She ordered in a cold voice.

Wu Chang was driven by the secret method of the soul, and spoke out the memories in his mind in a stiff tone.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Wu Chang's narration, Qing Changhuan sneered: "I heard that Chief Yaoguang was very smart, but after seeing him today, I find that he is just so-so!"

Before Li Qingxian could answer, he strode forward, held Wu Chang's head, and forcibly drew out a wisp of gray air from the fontanelle, pointing at him and saying, "This person only has three souls and six spirits that are real, and the remaining one spirit is fake. It is obvious that he was cast under a crooked secret method, which took away part of his soul, and used this fake spirit to replace the real one to seduce us."

Qing Changhuan waved his hand, and a scorching flame curtain suddenly floated out of the air. He blended the gray aura into it, and the scene displayed by the flame curtain was exactly what Wu Chang said:

A fox-faced boy carried a seriously injured girl up the mountain. The girl put her arms around his neck and murmured weakly.

Many parts of the fire curtain scene are false and unreal. The fox mask on the boy's face is erratic, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, weird and strange. Even the surrounding woods have only vague outlines, making it difficult to take a closer look. It seems as if it was deliberately fabricated.

Wu Chang only used words to describe what he saw that day, so naturally there was no flaw in his description. However, when Qing Changhuan used a curtain of fire to display the scene, a large part of the falsehood was immediately exposed.

Qing Changhuan didn't even look at Li Qingxian, whose face was turning pale and blue, and turned to Yu Qiyi and bowed: "Brother Yu, please help me, use the Tianji Life Technique to summon the remaining soul of this person from the thief!"

Author's words: The author seems to be not very good at writing villains. Soon the story of the younger sister will begin. The Li sisters are handed over to Yi Niaoniao to be trained into real puppies.

Chapter 192: Three Layers of Disguise

When Li Qingxian was meeting the visitors from Zhenyang and Tianji sects in the garden, four pairs of eyes on the top of Yaoguang Mountain not far away were observing her every move through a layer of water mirror.

In order to prevent others from calculating her whereabouts and life and death, Yi Niao Niao hid her true body in a secret place to meditate and practice. Now curled up in Yan Mobai's arms is a sword spirit girl as big as two palms.

"Hahahahaha..."

Xiao Daoling was eating a piece of bean cake that was particularly big for her. Her fair and tender face was covered with bean cake crumbs. Her cheeks rose and fell as she chewed, and her big amber eyes were shining brightly under the light emitted by the water curtain.

The feeling of lying in the master's warm arms, with him holding her waist, was too comfortable, making the little girl's body soft and limp, and she had no strength at all. She felt the warmth of the big hand holding her waist, and even her voice was soft and gentle: "Master, how did you know that Li Qingxian would bring that person to Qing Changhuan..."

If Li Qingxian did not bring Wu Chang to Qing Changhuan, there would be no way to discover Wu Chang's fake soul. At that time, the Li family would be frightened by the news that Yi Niaoniao was still in the family, and it would be obviously more difficult to make them rebel.

Yan Mobai pinched Xiao Dao Ling's soft waist, causing her to tremble.

"Li Qingxian is not stupid. She doesn't want the Li family to go against the Zhenyang Sect. Instead, the best way is to bring Wu Chang to Qing Changhuan and use his words to bring up Sect Leader Yi. In this way, it is no longer the Li family who refuses the Zhenyang Sect's request, but Sect Leader Yaoguang." Yan Mobai said as he played with the soft little girl, "Besides... Qing Changhuan is not so easy to give up. Even if Li Qingxian doesn't bring Wu Chang here, Qing Changhuan will go find him himself."

Bang!

The sound of a spoon colliding with a porcelain bowl came from somewhere, drowning out the voices coming from the water mirror.

"Yu Luo, speak softly."

"……oh."

The girl sitting next to the leader responded obediently.

"Why can't I fish it out..." She muttered softly, her amethyst eyes full of worry.

The noise just now was the girl trying hard to pick up the crystal balls at the bottom of the bowl, but she couldn't find them.

She repeatedly licked the honey and milk on the spoon, put the spoon full of sweet saliva aside, carefully held the cold bowl of syrup with both hands, stared upward at the water mirror with her big light purple eyes, and at the same time, she held the edge of the bowl with her pink lips and sipped the spirit beast milk with honey in small sips.

I didn't expect there was such a beautiful sister in Yaoguang Sect. Fortunately, she is a bit older and not the type that the leader likes...

She looked at Li Qingxian in the water mirror, and Li Qingxian in the water mirror was also staring at Yu Qi who was using his life magic to summon Wu Chang's seventh soul.

Perhaps he had been instructed by the leader of the Tianji Sect before coming here, Yu Qi followed Qing Changhuan's instructions without saying a word and used the Tianji Life Technique.

He cut his fingertips and drew a yin-yang pattern on the jade table.
