Chapter 89 He Xinyuan

  At 11:00 am, a flight from Beihai Province to Donghai City in Liaohai Province landed at the airport. The plane came to a stop and the first-class cabin door opened. A man in his late fifties stepped out of the plane and walked down slowly, followed by two men in their forties.

  All three of them were dressed in plain Western suits, looking extraordinary and dignified. At first glance, they absolutely looked like high-ranking executives of a large corporation.

  One of them was 1.7 meters tall, slightly thin, but walked with a steady pace, straight waist, especially those eyes, deep pupils, making people look at him and can't help but sink in. These three were none other than He Xiannian, the current leader of the Shanyue Sect, as well as Wang Yuanfeng and Zhen Bilon, both high-ranking members of the sect.

  He Xiannian and his two companions were here for the Southeast Treasure Appraisal Conference, but Shangjiang City did not have an airport, so they could only arrive in Liaohe City first.

  Three people got off the plane, and a black Audi car not far away opened its door. Li Chuanhe rushed out of the car to greet them: "He Shixiong, Wang Shidi, Zhen Shidi."

  "Brother Li!"

  Seeing Li Chuanhe's appearance, He Xiannian's face changed drastically. He grabbed Li Chuanhe's arm and exclaimed in surprise: "How could you become like this after just a few months of not seeing each other, younger brother?"

  Liqian River is now more haggard than two days ago, his whole person has shrunk a circle. Although he hasn't left the house for the past two days, his life isn't easy either. After falling asleep, nightmares haunt him, and when he wakes up to eat, food is tasteless. The bitterness in his heart may only be understood by Chen Xuanmin.

  Just now on the way to the airport, Li Chuanhe was cautious and even set up a formation before getting in the car, but still almost had an accident.

  Hearing He Xiyuan's concern, Li Chuanhe let out a long sigh and said bitterly: "It's a long story, Master He. Let's talk about it on the carriage."

  "Alright." He Xiannian nodded and got on the car with Li Chuanhe, only to furrow his brow slightly afterwards: "Looking at Young Master Li's appearance, there seems to be some inauspicious aura surrounding him. Has he been to any eerie places recently?"

  "I won't deceive you, Brother He," said Li Chuanhe with a bitter smile. "I've fallen prey to the evil spirit of reversal."

  "What, Reverse Yin Entanglement?" He Xiannian exclaimed, his face revealing a hint of anger, and coldly said: "Who has such a big nerve, actually disregarding the face of my Shānluán Sect, using Reverse Yin Entanglement on my junior brother. This is completely not putting my Shānluán Sect in their eyes."

  "It's Jiuxuan Gate." Li Chuan River Road.

  "Jiuxuan Gate!" He Xiayan exclaimed again, but this time he was much calmer. After a long pause, he said: "Did Li Shidi provoke Jiuxuan Gate?"

  "I suppose so."

  In front of He Xiannian, Li Chuanhe dared not conceal anything and simply told the story: "Brother He, Shangjiang City has always been my territory. I have operated here for many years and only then gained my current prestige. Ningyuan is a newcomer, so naturally I was unwilling to let him share a piece of the pie, that's why..."

  "You're confused, little brother."

  He Xiannian sighed and said, "You and that Ningyuan thing, let's not talk about it for now. But you absolutely shouldn't have used the Xuanmen secret method on the Jiang family father and son just to compete with him in a battle of wits. The Jiuxuanmen has the responsibility of supervising all Xuanmen sects. Your use of Xuanmen techniques on the Jiang family father and son is a violation of the Five Precepts of the Xuanmen. He Zhenghui taking action against you was also justified."

  "This..."

  Li Chuan's face changed greatly, he had always thought that the Nine Mysteries Gate was slightly inferior, and Ning Yuan was young, but he had overlooked the position of the Nine Mysteries Gate in the Jianghu. Since ancient times, the Nine Mysteries Gate has always had the responsibility of supervising the various factions of the Xuanmen, its status is transcendent, and it is feared by the various factions of the Jianghu.

  It is precisely because of this great righteousness that the Jiuxuanmen has always occupied the moral high ground, and even if it occasionally takes action to punish its own people, it leaves others speechless.

  When He Xinyan said this, Li Chuan River suddenly realized that his actions against the Jiang family father and son had indeed violated the five precepts of the Mystic Sect. Even if this matter were to be brought up at the Southeast Treasure Appraisal Convention, their Shanjian Sect would not have a leg to stand on.

  With this realization, Li Chuan River's last shred of hope and calmness completely disappeared. He hastily grabbed He Xiayun's hand and begged: "He Shixiong, you must help me! The reversal of yin and yang is a powerful curse that only He Zhengyun himself can lift. If not, almost no one in the Jianghu can save me."

  "Hmm!"

  He Xiannian coldly snorted, "Lei Shidi, I repeatedly warned you not to provoke the Xuanmen sect in Shangjiang City, but you went and provoked the Jiuxuanmen instead. Now that the Qingping Daoist of the Jiuxuanmen has passed away, it's a sensitive time. What are you doing, rushing into the muzzle? Don't you know the meaning of 'killing the chicken to scare the monkey'?"

  Li Chuan's face changed again, and he stammered: "He Shixiong, now that the Jiuxuan Gate is weak, do you really dare to offend our Shanjian Sect?"

  "A camel that has died of starvation is still bigger than a horse. Although Qingping Dao people have ascended to immortality, many fellow practitioners in the Jianghu community have received great kindness from him in the past and will not ignore Jiu Xuan Men. At this time, Jiu Xuan Men also needs to find someone to establish its authority. If you rush in like this, aren't you just giving Jiu Xuan Men an excuse?" He Xiannian said.

  "What, Master He, is there really no way out?" Li Chuanhe was truly panicked. After all, he had just entered the secret hall and didn't understand much. But after being told by He Xinyuan, he finally realized the horror of the Jiuxuan Gate and couldn't help but want to slap himself in frustration.

  "Let's go back to Shangjiang City first. I'll personally visit Ningyuan and apologize, hoping that the young master of the Jiuxuan Gate can give me some face."

  He Xiannian sighed, then suddenly turned cold and said in a low voice: "However, if he is not willing to let go, Li Shidi, I hope you know what to do. At this time, our Shanliang Sect does not want to be the first to take action."

  Listening to He Xiannian's words, Li Chuanhe's body trembled, his face turned pale. He Xiannian had clearly made up his mind to abandon him. If things couldn't be helped, He Xiannian would absolutely not say another word for him.

  In the eyes of Lihe River, He Xiannian is absolutely one of the top masters in the current Jianghu, with a high status and identity. However, facing Ningyuan, he hadn't even fought yet, but He Xiannian had already made up his mind to concede.

  A man's name is like a tree's shadow.

  At this moment, Li Chuanhe finally understood the weight of the three words "Jiuxuanmen" in the Jianghu. Even if Qingping Daoist had passed away, Jiuxuanmen was absolutely not something that Li Chuanhe could provoke.

  The car slowly started, but Li Chuanhe's heart sank bit by bit. In the past few days, he had pinned all his last hopes on He Xinyan, but unexpectedly, He Xinyan gave him such an answer.

  Li Chuan River was silent, and He Xiannian also didn't say a word. The good mood that He Xiannian originally had was all ruined by the news brought by Li Chuan River.

  Others may not be aware, but He Xiannian received the news that Yao Xinyan, the third disciple of Jiuxuanmen Qingping Daoist, is likely to appear at this Southeast Treasure Appraisal Conference.

  In those years, Qingping Dao people, except for Ningyuan, had a total of three disciples. The eldest disciple was Tang Zongqiang, the second disciple was He Zhengxun, and the third disciple was Yao Xinyan. Among them, Yao Xinyan was the most low-key, but twenty years ago, he fought against the master of the Shaping School at Beihang University, and Yao Xinyan, who was nearly thirty years old, showed off his peak strength of Lingzhi Neiyin, even with half a foot already stepping into the realm of Lingzhi Huaxing.

  Because of that fight, even the first and second disciples Tang Zongqiang and He Zhengxun couldn't surpass Yao Xinyan's fame. Unfortunately, 25 years ago, Tang Zongqiang suddenly disappeared, and 18 years ago Yao Xinyan also vanished without a trace. The Nine Profound Sect was left with only He Zhengxun. Three years after Yao Xinyan's disappearance, Qingping Dao took in Ningyuan, who became the fourth disciple.

  This time at the Southeast Treasure Appraisal Convention, there were rumors circulating that Yao Xinyan would make an appearance. Regardless of whether this rumor was reliable or not, He Xiyan didn't dare to take any risks. If Yao Xinyan were still alive, he would undoubtedly be a top-notch master who had achieved spiritual enlightenment and physical transformation. Adding He Zhengxun to the mix, the Jiu Xuan Men would have two masters of spiritual enlightenment and physical transformation presiding over it. Although their numbers were small, they were by no means to be underestimated.

  Moreover, the high-handedness of the Xuanmen in fighting, the boundary is just one aspect, the inheritance of Faqi and Shufa is also very important. The Jiu Xuanmen has been passed down for thousands of years, and it's naturally impossible to have no foundation at all. It's absolutely not comparable to those later-starting sects.

  This Southeast Treasure Appraisal Conference is absolutely going to be a stormy one, with extremely complex forms. He Xiannian definitely doesn't want to get the Shanlun Sect involved, and if it really comes down to it, Li Chuanhe will definitely have to make sacrifices.
