Songzhou City

  Yang Qianxiang carefully arranged everything and instructed the town's magic generals on how to comfort the people.

  As a provincial commander-in-chief, in terms of strength, he was not even worth mentioning in front of the touring inspector, but for these troublesome trivial matters, he had quite some experience.

  After making sure there is no omission.

  Yang Qianxiang rode on the demon horse, accompanying Lord Shen as he left Songzhou.

  Logically speaking, having committed such a great mistake, he should have been taken away.

  Fortunately, Mr. Shen was lenient and had never even scolded him with a harsh word... Of course, he hadn't said anything else either.

  Under the powerful legs of Hei Lin Jiao Ma, from Songzhou to Huangcheng takes less than ten days.

  As they hurried along the road.

  In the Imperial City Martial Temple, a rare guest also arrived.

  The martial arts training was temporarily suspended, and the four Taoist priests gathered together in one hall.

  As they were, they could only stand by their side.

  Above the main seat, however, was a man wearing a black and white wide-sleeved large shirt with a goat-like long beard.

  "I don't know what noble business the True Man of the Mysterious Radiance Cave has with our Great Qian." Wu Daoan stood up, his tone neither arrogant nor humble.

  "Just take a stroll." Chang Qing Renren casually sipped his hot tea, gently placing the teacup on the table, his tone flat: "By the way, I'm here to inform you that a certain Grandmaster has unfortunately fallen."

  When they heard the first half of the sentence, the four shrine maidens didn't show much expression, but when the second half came out, all four of them subconsciously gritted their teeth.

  Wu Dao'an's hand in his sleeve suddenly clenched into a fist.

  Remained silent for a long time.

  "He said in a cold tone: 'We know.'"

  The Da Qian Dynasty was left with only seven masters, and inexplicably lost one more, but the people of Xuan Guang Cave not only looked calm, but also didn't even bother to mention the reason.

  "If nothing else, we'll take our leave."

  Although they called each other rough and unrefined, in fact all the disciples of the Wu Temple knew that they and the monks of the Hunyuan Sect were both guarding the Great Dryness, and were like brothers.

  How can one not be angry at this moment?

  But can't get angry... even if a hint of unusual expression is revealed, it will only make the masters outside suffer more unfair treatment.

  Wu Dao'an turned around and walked away.

  "Wait a minute." Chang Qing suddenly raised his hand and stopped several people: "I was entrusted by my good friend to come and find a little friend among you."

  The Taoist priests stopped in their tracks and looked back: "......"

  "My good friend is Qingqiu Elder, he has two disciples who went out to practice, but suddenly one of them disappeared in the Great Dryness."

  Chang Qing Zhen Ren raised an eyebrow: "Do you have any news?"

  Wu Daoan hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "I don't know either. If you need help finding him, I'll do my best to assist and send people to the nine states to gather information."

  "Thank you... but I won't trouble the disciples of Wu Miao anymore."

  Chang Qing smiled faintly and took out a jade tablet: "The elder brother of the Qingqiu Gate disciple has already collected information for everyone. The place where his younger brother disappeared is Yang'an County, Qingzhou. He had sent a letter to Jiang Yuanhua, the commander-in-chief of Qingzhou, and received a reply, 'tsk'."

  "I don't know, I'm not clear, ask Wu Miao if you have something."

  As the real person's slightly playful tone settled in.

  Wu Dao'an's eyes twitched twice: "......"

  A child of the Jiang family, how can you be so arrogant?

  "Qingqiu and I have always been allies without any grudges, and it was also one of the helpers that Xuan Guangdong worked hard to get. I hope Wu Miao can understand, we are also doing this to make Da Qianzong Master safer."

  Chang Qing Zhenren stood up, placing a jade slip on the table: "Shi Xiong has already investigated most of it. At that time, among those who passed through Beiyai's Jingdan boundary and above, there were only three martial artists. Two of them were too weak and didn't pose any threat to Qingqiu Gate disciples. There was only one left, but the information about him is scarce, as if he appeared out of thin air."

  "I hope you can bring this person to me, I also want to give an explanation to my old friend. Qingqiu will go and investigate the specific reason, if he is really not related to it, I will take him back to Daqian myself."

  Several monks listened patiently, and their anger intensified even more.

  Although Qingqiu has always been neutral, after all, it's a group of fox demons. It's already good that Da Qian doesn't provoke them, but to actually invite people here to discuss the law is simply too presumptuous.

  When the great drought was at its peak, Da Qian said one word, would Qing Qiu dare say two?

  Not to mention its disciples, even if they beheaded its elders, what could they do?

  Wu Dao'an took a deep breath: "May I ask who is it that the True Person seeks?"

  Evergreen True Person glanced at the jade slip on the table, touched it with his divine thought, and looked at it before saying: "Qingzhou Shen Yi."

  The rest of the three Taoist priests were still somewhat bewildered.

  “……”

  Wu Dao's eyes widened for a moment, then a cold smile spread across his face. A murderous intent rose in the depths of his turbid pupils: "Dare you repeat yourself, who is it that you want?"

  Chang Qing felt a little uneasy, but didn't take it to heart: "Qingzhou Shen Yi."

  A dying martial arts temple can hardly stir up any great waves.

  How dare you use this threatening tone, really, staying in this broken temple for too long has muddled your mind.

  "Okay."

  Before his words had even faded away, Wu Dao An's smile grew even more pronounced as he slowly closed his eyes.

  At a time when everyone is puzzled.

  In the temple, among the twelve golden statues on the altar, the eyes of that lion-camel suddenly shone with a hint of light.

  Its three-zhang-tall body slowly walked down from the offering platform.

  As it walked out of the long street, the piercing golden light illuminated the sky, step by step towards the courtyard.

  In front of the lion camel, the courtyard was as fragile as tofu and collapsed instantly.

  With a casual wave of his palm, the roof was reduced to dust, and his large eyes gazed down at the few figures inside.

  “……”

  Shrouded in an enormous shadow, looking at the golden body in front of him that seemed like a god, Chang Qing Zhen Ren unconsciously swallowed his saliva and retreated three steps in a row, sternly shouting: "What do you mean?!"

  "The meaning of this seat is..." The lion camel opened its mouth, and its voice was like a huge bell, echoing in the sky: "You are just an Upper Realm Mixed Yuan Sect Master, being called a True Person is already a compliment. If you dare to mention that name again in front of me..."

  The lion camel slightly bared its teeth, with an indifferent expression: "Today I will fall here."

  "You!"

  Chang Qing's face turned gloomy: "Have you forgotten that I am from Xuan Guang Cave?"

  A powerful and heavy slap was his response.

  The lion camel simply lifted its foot and stepped on it, causing the Changqing True Person's face to change color in shock, with a large red glow erupting all over his body, and his arms unconsciously crossed in front of him.

  The golden beast's paw stopped just inches from him.

  Chang Qing Zhenren's cold sweat had already soaked through his clothes, his eyes were wide with fear, and he was panting heavily.

  Looking at the pair of eyes full of chill on the lion's skull.

  He adjusted his breathing and said in a low voice: "I just asked for Qingqiu, no need to make a big fuss."

  "Hmph."

  The lion camel withdrew its front legs, slowly turned around and returned to the Wu Temple, and lay down on the offering table again, instantly becoming as lifeless as a statue.

  At this time, Wu Dao An opened his eyes and said lightly: "Then please go back, I won't see you off."
