I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

The other person was a plain-looking woman with an ordinary face and figure. She was the kind that would be hard to spot in a crowd.

But being so ordinary was a bit strange. Few monks were ugly, especially those at a higher level, who could reshape their features and enhance their temperament. Her ordinary appearance seemed deliberate.

Bai Qianqian would not underestimate the other person just because of the face in front of her. Maybe this was not the person's true appearance.

After all, I work in intelligence. If I don't have the ability to change my appearance, I'd be embarrassed to stay in this line of work.

"Greetings to Her Highness the Saint." Liu Xianglian bowed respectfully to Saint Zi Yang.

"No need for formalities, let's skip all the red tape and talk quickly." In order to avoid exposing the hidden person too early, they had to make their talk short.

Bai Qianqian asked directly, "Do you have any information about Feng Buxuan?"

When this name was mentioned, Liu Xianglian also raised an eyebrow. She said, "This person is indeed suspicious. I noticed him a long time ago."

"But he was very cautious and left almost no loopholes."

After hearing these words, Bai Qianqian felt very disappointed.

No flaws?

Chapter 252: Canary in the Palm

Liu Xianglian's identity in Wanghe Sect is an inner disciple with little presence.

In reality, she possessed Nascent Soul cultivation, but she only displayed the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Her disguise was successful, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hide in Wanghe Sect for decades without anyone noticing anything was amiss with her.

According to her, Feng Buxuan had an excellent reputation within the sect. Not only was he exceptionally capable, but he was also kind. Both the other elders and the disciples praised him highly.

One time, Elder Wu Lingyun and Feng Buxuan took their disciples out to a secret realm for training. On the way, they were surrounded by demon cultivators. Feng Buxuan was the only one left behind to cover their retreat, holding back the besieging demon cultivators and covering everyone's escape.

He was rescued by reinforcements from other sects. Otherwise, he would have died.

Another time, a disciple from a poor family was attacked by a demonic beast while out and about. He survived, but was also severely poisoned. Without a certain elixir to create an antidote, he would have died. Unfortunately, this disciple couldn't afford the elixir.

But when he was desperately waiting to die, Feng Buxuan gave him the elixir, and the disciple was saved.

There are many such stories.

Most people in the sect were very optimistic about Feng Buxuan's character. If the leader of Wanghe Sect was elected by public opinion, he would probably be the one to take the position.

Despite all this, Feng Buxuan was also a deeply devoted man. He had married a woman while still an inner disciple. For a hundred years, they had always treated each other with respect and supported each other, and there had never been any rumors of him having any other affairs with other women.

There are such devoted individuals in the world of immortal cultivation, but they're rare. What man wouldn't seek out more companions after achieving some skill? But he chose to go the other way.

What kind of perfect man is this?

However, his character is so perfect that there is no flaw at all, which makes it seem suspicious.

Just recently, the Holy Son Yuhua came to Wanghe Sect several times, specifically looking for Feng Buxuan.

And each time they stay longer than the last.

As for what they talked about, outsiders have no way of knowing.

When Bai Qianqian heard this, her eyes darkened and she sighed inwardly.

There is no other valuable information.

Zhao Kangping also told her about the meeting between Feng Buxuan and Su Yuelin.

Liu Xianglian mentioned it again, just to confirm what Zhao Kangping said.

But what she wanted was other meaningful information.

"What else do you know about Feng Buxuan?" Bai Qianqian was already a little impatient.

"About two hundred years ago, Feng Buxuan joined the Wanghe Sect. Before that, he was just a casual cultivator, and he didn't seem to be from the Eastern Region. As for other information, it is almost blank." Liu Xianglian has been working in intelligence for so many years, and she has never seen such a tough bone to chew.

This person's origin, his past experiences before joining Wanghe Sect, his connections, and why he came to the Eastern Region are all a mystery.

It was as if he appeared out of thin air.

It’s not that no one has asked him about his past, but the answer he got was always that the past was too painful to recall.

A perfect personality coupled with a blank past makes up Feng Buxuan, the great elder of Wanghe Sect.

It was not without reason that Liu Xianglian said he was suspicious.

In Wanghe Sect, he had risen to the position of Grand Elder through his good character and good relationships. People here didn't delve into his past, but in the Holy Land, it was basically impossible to climb to a high position without a prominent family background and a clean record.

The Holy Land would not dare to reuse a suspicious person like him who could not explain his past clearly.

However, Feng Buxuan is now almost on the verge of becoming the leader of a sect.

Bai Qianqian continued to digest Liu Xianglian's words. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in her mind, and her almond-shaped eyes widened. "Oh, right, didn't you just say that Feng Buxuan and Elder Wu Lingyun of the Wanghe Sect were out leading a team for training and were besieged by demonic cultivators? What was the origin of that group of demonic cultivators? Do you have any information?"

She seemed to have found a firefly in the dark night, desperately chasing after that ray of light, as if that was her last hope.

"Yes, although that group of demon cultivators did not carry any items that could prove their identity, some disciples recognized that they were using the Xue Luomen's skills." Liu Xianglian recalled and said.

In fact, that incident happened more than 20 years ago, and people nowadays have almost forgotten it.

But Liu Xianglian has her own little notebook, in which she has written down all the useful and useless information over the years.

It is not enough to just write it down on paper. When she has nothing to do, she will take it out and read it over and over again.

When Bai Qianqian heard the three words "Xue Luomen", her brows furrowed.

She had learned about the information of this demon sect.

They are a demonic force located in the Western Regions, but they do not seem content to stay in a corner.

The Xue Luomen has been infiltrating into other domains, seemingly trying to restore the glory of their ancestors.

Speaking of which, the Blood Luo Sect has a predecessor, which is a top-level demonic force whose name is not even allowed to be mentioned.

However, that demonic force was destroyed ten thousand years ago. Afterwards, it split into three, becoming three demonic sects, and the Blood Luo Sect was one of them.

The Xueluo Clan has always claimed to be the legitimate heirs of a now-extinct, top-tier demonic power. They often venture into other realms under the guise of recovering ancient treasures or seeking revenge for their ancestors.

There should also be a Blood Luomen stronghold in the Eastern Region, but its exact location is unclear.

If it weren't for the occasional appearance of some demonic cultivators with the characteristics of the Blood Luo Sect in the Eastern Region, everyone might have forgotten about this demonic sect from the Western Region.

It's said that over a hundred years ago, the Xueluo Sect had organized a siege and massacre of Wanghe Sect disciples who were away for training. The Xueluo Sect cultivators who carried out that action were likely from the Eastern Region branch.

Caught off guard, the group of Wanghe Sect disciples were completely wiped out.

It is said that among that group of disciples there were a few promising talents that Wanghe Sect was focusing on cultivating, but they died so easily.

This incident has a great impact on Wanghe Sect. If those outstanding immortal seedlings can grow up smoothly, Wanghe Sect may become more powerful than it is now.

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in this world.

Bai Qianqian remembered that Aunt Jing's family was ransacked because they were involved in the information leak that led to the massacre of Wanghe Sect disciples, which was why the Dongfang family fell into such a state of decline.

Wait, something seems wrong.

Being able to become a saint, Bai Qianqian is naturally not a completely brainless white lotus.

She still has good judgment.

Amidst her complicated thoughts, she seemed to have grasped something.

More than a hundred years ago, the Dongfang family was implicated and their property was ransacked.

More than a hundred years ago, Feng Buxuan married his wife.

More than a hundred years ago, it was the Xue Luo Sect that massacred the Wanghe Sect disciples who were out for training.

More than 20 years ago, Xue Luomen wanted to do the same thing again, but was stopped by Feng Buxuan.

There seems to be some vague connection between all of this.

After becoming the Saint, Bai Qianqian spent a considerable amount of time memorizing information about the vassal forces that had close ties with the Zi Yang Holy Land.

This of course also includes some information about Wanghe Sect, but this information is relatively simplified and cannot be too detailed.

"Do you know which happened earlier, Feng Buxuan's marriage or the incident more than a hundred years ago when the Xue Luo Sect surrounded and killed the disciples of the Wanghe Sect?" Bai Qianqian asked.

Liu Xianglian thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, the Blood Luo Sect's siege and massacre of Wanghe Sect disciples should have happened earlier. The gap between the two events is more than five years, less than six years."

When these words were spoken, it seemed as if they revealed one's age.

Bai Qianqian glanced at Liu Xianglian, who looked only about thirty years old. Yet, she knew something that happened over a hundred years ago, proving she had been in Wanghe Sect for quite some time.

The two chatted for a long time in the back mountain. After talking with Liu Xianglian, Bai Qianqian gained some knowledge.

But the information was fragmentary and she couldn't piece together what she wanted to know.

She was also more certain that Feng Buxuan was indeed a major suspect.

However, it is not easy to convince other people in Wanghe Sect that Feng Buxuan is not as kind as he seems.

She wanted to find Dongfang Jingrou.

The latter has been working as Suzaku for so many years and has been exposed to all kinds of things. Perhaps she can provide some help.

However, Bai Qianqian thought of the unclear relationship between her master uncle and Aunt Jing, and she hesitated again.

……

The area where Wanghe Sect's main peak once stood was now nothing but a scorched earth ruin. Where there once was a high mountain, now only a pile of ash remained, still emitting high temperatures, with some combustible materials still burning.

Fortunately, there were no buildings around the Zongzhu Peak, so the damage was mostly concentrated in that area. The other six peaks were a certain distance away from the Zongzhu Peak, so there was basically no damage.

At this time, a large number of disciples had been summoned to extinguish the remaining embers of the ruins of the Sect Master Peak.

The rest of the disciples who escaped from the sect also returned one after another.

After the turmoil, Wanghe Sect returned to peace again.

The news that Saint Ziyang had promised to provide financial assistance to help Wanghe Sect overcome its difficulties had spread throughout the sect, and everyone was grateful to this Saint from the holy land.

There were even male disciples who had never even seen the Saint, yet they were vying to be her dogs. This situation spread from person to person within the Wanghe Sect.

However, the saint herself was unaware of this.

At this moment, Zhao Kangping had just coaxed Dongfang Jingrou, and they were now heading towards Sunv Peak.

They couldn't stay in Wanghe Sect for long. After Liu Sulan's death, Sunv Peak didn't know what to do.

Whether other peaks will continue to target Sunv Peak remains a question.

Dongfang Jingrou was very worried about her fellow apprentice sisters.

If they cannot deal with Feng Buxuan as soon as possible, Su Nu Peak may be liquidated later.

Dongfang Jingrou was very anxious as she was worried about her fellow junior sisters.

It happened that she was flying back from outside and accidentally looked down.

It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but as soon as she looked she saw a familiar figure.

She was a beautiful woman in luxurious clothes. Surrounded by several maids, she was personally questioning the lost disciples.

It seemed some disciples had heard about the destruction of the sect's treasury and knew their monthly resource allocation was likely gone. Anxiety was spreading among the disciples.

Although Saint Zi Yang promised to fund their sect, it was still unknown when the funds would arrive and how much resources would be available.

The beautiful woman kept speaking well of the Zi Yang Holy Land, asking everyone to relax and return to their respective posts, as the sect would definitely give them an explanation.

He then said other words of encouragement to everyone, but Dongfang Jingrou no longer had the heart to listen.

Seeing the beautiful woman, she stopped flying and hovered in the air.

After flying for a distance, Zhao Kangping found that Dongfang Jingrou had not followed him, so he had to turn back to find her.

Noticing that the woman was gazing at a woman on the ground in a trance, he asked, "Is that your mother?"

Yang Siqin is somewhat similar to her, but she looks thinner and paler, but she is also a woman with charm.

Dongfang Jingrou bit her red lips, clenched her trembling fists tightly, and stared at the woman for a long time without saying a word.

As if hesitating about something.

Zhao Kangping guessed that her mood must be complicated at this moment.

"I think you should still meet her." After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Kangping said.

This made Dongfang Jingrou look at him in some surprise.

Then he gave his reasons: "She is Feng Buxuan's wife now. We are investigating Feng Buxuan, and I think she will be a breakthrough. Maybe we can learn something from her."

Hearing this, Dongfang Jingrou did not argue and seemed to agree.
