Chapter 92: Wuji Xingguan) —— Today's first update! Frantically asking for monthly tickets!

  As the sky gradually darkened towards evening, Wang Kuan paced back and forth in the courtyard, occasionally glancing inside with a growing sense of unease. It had been an hour since his Shifu's sister, Xing Miaozi, went in - why hadn't she come out yet? What was she doing with his Shijie? Although Wang Kuan was filled with doubts, he didn't dare to eavesdrop; he knew exactly what kind of woman this Xing Miaozi was.

  After a while, a cold figure emerged from the inner room. Wang Kuan's expression changed slightly as he said respectfully, "Master Uncle, are you leaving?"

  Xing Miaozi glanced at him faintly and replied softly, "You come back with me too."

  "Master, can't you let your disciple stay for a few more days?" Ever since he saw Xing Miaozi, Wang Kuan had been worried about this issue in his heart. After all, he had sneaked out and was looking for a guilty Master sister. If the Tai Xu Sect found out, he would be punished when he returned.

  "Haven't you made enough trouble?" Xing Miao's jade-like hand lifted, and the slender fingertips shone brightly, instantly forming strands of green silk that bound Wang Kuan.

  Wang Kuan struggled and said anxiously, "Although you are the younger brother of my master, after all, you are not my master. What qualifications do you have to control me?"

  "Before your master went into seclusion, he asked me to take charge of disciplining you."

  Xing Miaozi didn't speak again. As his body shone with a brilliant light, he transformed into a celestial swan and shot straight up into the sky.

  "Master Uncle! Just spare me for a few more days! The people from the Temple are going to kill Master Sister!!"

  Someone has already pleaded for your senior sister's case, and she will be able to return to Tai Xu Sect in a few days.

  "Has Tai Xuan finally forgiven Shifu? But... the ones who are going to get rid of Shifu are the Sanctuary." Wang Kuan suddenly seemed to realize something and said, "Oh no! If the Sanctuary finds out that Tai Xuan has forgiven Shifu, they will take action immediately! Master uncle, hurry up and let me go!" No matter how much Wang Kuan shouted or begged, Xing Miaozi acted as if he hadn't heard anything.

  ……

  Yongyuan City, City Lord's Manor.

  Liu was sitting upright in her chair, listening to Xiao Lian's report.

  "Sister, as you instructed, we have already searched and seized all of the Wei family's treasures. As for... it seems that there are quite a few people who escaped from the Wei household alive, and it would be impossible to investigate clearly in a short period of time." Seeing Liu Feifei frowning and deep in thought, Xiaolian asked out of curiosity, "Sister, what is your intention behind doing this? It was Tang Jing who killed the Wei family. If there's trouble, it should be his problem, why do we need to cover for him? If the master of Wuji Hanguan and Lord Cao return and find out that not only did we not help the Wei family, but also..."

  Willow floated and gazed at the flowers and grass outside, seemingly a bit distracted.

  "Sister... even if that Tang Jing is formidable, can he be more formidable than the Sanctuary? What you're doing... is very dangerous."

  "Is it dangerous?" Liu Piaopiao murmured to herself, as if asking and answering at the same time, "I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong, but that person's aura... really is...". She shook her head and sighed, saying, "I hope this step isn't a mistake."

  At this time, another girl who looked very similar to Xiaolian walked in and said, "Sister, the young master has returned."

  Liu floated up in surprise, stood up, and said with a serious expression, "When did you come back?"

  "It seems like you just got back not long ago."

  "If the Lord of the City has returned, then the Master of the Holy Temple, the Master of the Seven Stars Gate, the Master of the Half Moon Gate, and the Master of the Wuji Hall have also returned?" Liu Piaopiao seemed to be worried about something. Indeed, if these people found out that she had helped the person who killed the Wei family, it would be very bad for her.

  "It should be!"

  As soon as his voice fell, a man immediately walked into the house. The man seemed to be a middle-aged man, wearing brocade clothes and a long gown, with a somewhat gloomy face.

  "Met the master of the big city."

  Xiao Lian and the two of them paid their respects, and the city master nodded, looking at Liu Piaopiao and said, "Liu Mei, we've only been away for about twenty days, how did so many things happen in Yongyang City? That beast Tang Jing actually killed several direct disciples of the Half Moon Gate. He's living a life that's not worth living. Are you also looking to die? And why did you intervene on behalf of that beast surnamed Tang when Elder Xiong Hualang went to Qingyu Gate?"

  "Even if it's Big Brother, Little Sister isn't necessarily determined to help Tang Qing, but this matter is something Little Sister has judged, if Little Sister doesn't stand up for it, who will believe in me as the City Master from now on."

  Liu Piao said with a hint of speculation in her heart, it seemed that the lord of the city was still unaware of the Wei family's affairs.

  "Although that's what was said, but as a result, you've offended the master of the Half Moon Gate. That old thing is already sharp-tongued and has always looked down on us two. Now it's even better, you've thoroughly offended him."

  "Then just leave! What's there to be afraid of?"

  "Liu Mei! Our fox spirit tribe has had a hard time surviving, and it's not easy for us to settle down here. We two have managed to become the masters of this city, and our good days are still long ahead."

  Liu asked, "Lian Ge, what did you guys go to do this time? Why did it take so long?"

  Upon hearing this, the city master furrowed his brow and said with a worried expression, "This is a long story to tell, but it seems that our plan may have changed."

  "What's changed? Haven't we always been pushing and trying to get the Upper Official of Qingyu Gate, Guan Xue, to make a mistake?"

  Liu Piaopiao and the city master had known each other for many years, both of them were refined and cunning. After getting to know Cao Da Ren, they both took on the position of city masters. Liu Piaopiao knew that Cao Da Ren let her become a city master, so she also had to do things for him. At first, she was worried, but later found out that Cao Da Ren only wanted them to secretly manipulate and push Qingyumen's Shangguan men into making mistakes. This wasn't difficult for Liu Piaopiao, as over the years, she had also secretly manipulated many events, causing Shangguan men to make many mistakes.

  Since the investigation revealed that Shangguan Qiyue was once the law enforcement elder of Taixu Sect, Liu Piaopiao began to have some doubts. However, after learning that Cao Daren had the backing of the Holy Temple, she no longer had any worries in her heart. She just couldn't understand why the Holy Temple wanted to kill Shangguan Qiyue and even more so, why they would go through such trouble when a single word could have sufficed.

  Now she heard that the plan had changed again, which made her very puzzled. When she asked, the city master shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about the specific plan either. We'll be told by Lord Cao when we arrive at Wujixing Hall."

  "Are you going now?"

  "Yes! It's urgent." The city master instructed further, "When you arrive at Wuji Hangguan, that old thing at the Half Moon Gate will definitely cause trouble for you. Be careful with your words and actions."

  Inside the city of Yong, the City Master's Mansion is responsible for maintaining the safety of the people's lives within the city, while the Holy Temple is responsible for exorcising demons and evil spirits. As for the Wuji Hanguan, its existence is relatively special, representing the Wuji Sect's jurisdiction over the Seven Star Gate, Half Moon Gate, and Qingyu Gate, such as supervision and auditing. Since the Wuji Hanguan can directly contact the upper sect, its status is quite transcendent, not to mention that being able to work in the Wuji Hanguan are all people of high virtue and prestige within the city.

  At this moment, in the grand hall of Wuji Temple, three people were seated. They were the Master of Sheng Tang, the Master of Qixing Gate and the Master of Banyue Gate. The expressions on their faces didn't seem too good. As soon as they returned from outside, they learned that many things had happened in Yongyang City. Four direct disciples and five elders of Banyue Gate were all killed by a young man named Tang Qing.

  Especially the master of the Half Moon Gate, who is now sitting in a chair with a pale face and heavy breathing. He had just returned and learned about this matter. In his anger, he rushed to the Qingyu Gate, wanting to chop Tang Jing into pieces. However, as soon as he entered the Qingyu Gate, he was stopped by Lei Hong and Ge Fei. He knew that these two were retired elders from the Upper Sect, although they had been invaded by evil spirits, they were still very powerful. Under helplessness, the master of the Half Moon Gate could only return first and ask the master of the Wujixing Hall to take charge for himself.

  Although the one who died this time was a disciple of Banyue Gate, the faces of the master of Sheng Tang and the master of Qixing Gate were not very good either. After all, Meng Jingtong, Zhang Rui, and Guan Ming were all reserve disciples of Wuji Sect, so if the upper sect investigated, they would also have some responsibility.

  "You three came pretty early!"

  The castle owner and Liu Piaopiao walked into the grand hall, and the master of the Half Moon Gate immediately stood up, pointing at Liu Piaopiao and shouting sharply, "You little demon are truly audacious, daring to show your face and help that beast Tang Jing! I think you don't want to stay in Yongyang City anymore!"

  "Gu Men Zhu, the gambling fight was also proposed by Meng Jing and his group. I was just trying to help them as a referee with good intentions. Who would have thought that Tang Qing would be so formidable? As a result of this matter, Xiong Huazhang went to Qingyu Gate. If I didn't step forward, who in the city would still trust me as their City Master?"

  "Master Gu, calm down, Liu Mei didn't mean it!" The city master tried to persuade him.

  This time, five elders and four direct disciples died. The entire Half Moon Gate can be said to have been completely destroyed. This made the master of the Gu Gate furious, pointing at Liu Feifei and scolding her non-stop. However, Liu Feifei was not afraid, arguing with reason and force. Suddenly, a stern and majestic shout came out, stopping their argument.

  "That's enough!"

  Six elderly men appeared, with the first one having white hair and beard, looking slender and wearing a white robe, giving off an otherworldly aura. He was none other than Cui Zhenghe, the master of Wuji Xingguan. The five people behind him were the executives of the pavilion, all of whom were renowned seniors in the city, with high moral standing and prestige. In fact, they were all well-known figures in Yongyang City, especially Master Cui, whose cultivation had reached the realm of Yuan.

  When Master Cui arrived, an invisible pressure spread out, and the city master, the master of the holy temple, and others immediately stood up, bowed their heads in courtesy, and then the master of the Half Moon Gate hastily said, "Master Cui, this time our Half Moon Gate..."

  He had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by the host of Cuiguan, who sat in the great hall and said, "I already know about this matter, let's discuss it later!" As soon as he finished speaking, his slightly dull eyes scanned the great hall and said, "Why haven't Lord Wei and the three family masters arrived yet?"

  An old steward stood up and said, "Boss, I've already sent Li Tao to inform him, but for some reason there's still no news."

  "Master! Something's wrong!" A man rushed into the main hall, sweating profusely, as if he had been frightened by something. Panting heavily, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "The Wei family... everyone in the Wei family is dead... including Jin Gongzi, Duan Gongzi, and the young master of the Wei family. The three masters of the three major families are all dead!"
