Chapter 88: The Reincarnation of the Ethereal Fairy
At dinner time, Zuixianlou was still the elegant seat where he usually sat. This time, Zui Daoren came first and ordered a table of wine and food, and Zhou Ling and Jin Xuan sat next to him.
Zhou An sat down and said, "I didn't expect that our meeting again would be in such an awkward situation."
Jin Xuan rushed to ask: "Zhou Nan, no, Zhou An, did you kill the people from our Zhengyi sect?"
"You came to me specially, so you must have the answer in your mind. At the beginning, I learned about the outside world as Zhou Nan, not because I had any intentions towards the righteous path." Zhou An picked up the wine jug and poured it for the three of them while speaking.
The drunk Taoist picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then asked, "So Senior Brother Taixuan and the other brothers died at the hands of the Jitian Sect? Even if it was a sneak attack, it might be possible to injure one of my brothers, but it is impossible to kill them all."
Zhou An looked at the drunk Taoist and said, "The one who killed Taixuan and the others was Taiyi Zhenren."
"What!" The three were shocked.
"Impossible. The head master has been in seclusion. This battle between good and evil will be led by Uncle Taixuan." Zhou Ling shouted, her eyes full of anger. If he was said to be the Jitian Sect, she would still accept it, but saying he was the master was simply impossible.
Zhou An ignored the two angry juniors, took out the Haotian Pagoda and placed it on the table, shocking the three again, and then said: "Master Taiyi is the golden robe. He practices both Taoism and magic. He caused this battle between good and evil in order to use the Soul-Snatching Banner to collect the Yuanshen of all the cultivators and practice the Jitian Sect's immortal method of Concentrating the Mind."
After hearing these words, and seeing that the Haotian Tower was right in front of them, the three of them were still in a daze. The two children were completely confused, and their minds were blank.
The drunk Taoist frowned tightly, stopped drinking the wine in front of him, and stared at the Haotian Tower.
“Before Taiyi died, he said that the Concentrated Spirit Technique can absorb the souls of others and condense a divine body for oneself, which can avoid the nine heavenly tribulations and directly become a god.
This Ji Tian Sect Master practiced this kind of immortal method and reached the semi-immortal level. Before he died, he asked me to pass this to you so that you can take over the position of the Sect Master." Zhou An put the Sect Master's token on the table.
The drunk Taoist clenched his fists and asked, "Did you kill the head teacher brother?"
“Yes, I fought with the golden robe that day and forced him to reveal his true identity. Taixuan Zhenren and others saw it, so he summoned the Haotian Tower and took me in. I used the Void Wheel to send Taixuan and others away.
When I came out, they had already died at the hands of Taiyi Zhenren, and I brought out some things and a corpse from the Haotian Tower. "
Zhou An took out the Sanyuan Kanshui Sword, the imperial edict of the previous headmaster, the body of the previous headmaster and his personal belongings.
The drunk Taoist suddenly stood up, knelt beside the corpse and clenched his fists.
Zhou An doesn't need to explain this time. It is impossible that Zhou An killed the previous generation of the headmaster. That happened four hundred years ago, and Zhou An was not even born yet.
The Drunken Taoist had already figured out why his master was in the Haotian Tower without asking. Only Taiyi Zhenren, who had obtained the right to use the Haotian Tower, could do it. Others could not activate the Haotian Tower if they did not know how to control it.
Zhou Ling and Jin Xuan were completely confused and didn't know what to say. It all happened too suddenly and far exceeded their previous expectations.
After a long silence, the drunk Taoist took a deep breath, controlled his emotions, put his master's body and personal belongings into the treasure bag, and finally looked at the Haotian Pagoda on the table. After repeated hesitation, he said: "Zhou An, thank you for giving these to me. As you said, the Jitian Sect deliberately let the righteous path go this time, wanting the righteous path to fight you so that they can reap the benefits.
But this plan failed, so the next target will definitely be to destroy the Zhengyi Sect first. We won't be able to learn to control the Haotian Tower in a short period of time, and it will definitely be taken away by the Jitian Sect, which will increase their strength.
You can keep it temporarily, and come and get it when the Zhengyi sect is able to protect it one day." The drunk Taoist said.
"Okay." Zhou An stretched out his hand, and the Haotian Tower was taken back into the system space.
"The Jitian Sect will most likely take action against you as soon as possible. If you stay in the palace, I can protect you." Zhou An said.
"Since I have become the headmaster, I must not abandon the mountain gate and leave, otherwise how can I face the ancestors of all generations. I thought of this possibility before I came here, and planned to let Jin Xuan, Zhou Ling and other eight disciples go to Kongling Mountain to ask the Seven Monsters to teach them the Kongling Eight Swords Formation. Only with the Kongling Eight Swords Formation can the younger generation have the ability to protect themselves.
I will need your help to persuade them, I wonder if you are willing. With your current strength and the protection of the top-grade fairy treasure, I don’t know what I can use as a reward, as long as I can do it, just ask. "The drunk Taoist asked.
Zhou An picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, then drank it all up. He smiled and said, "Since we are friends, why bother talking about rewards? You were the one who led me to the Kongling Immortal Mansion, so naturally it's my turn to help you this time."
"Okay." The drunk Taoist picked up the wine jug, filled it up for him, and then they both drank it all in one gulp again.
Only then did Jin Xuan and Zhou Ling digest the information they had just received. Although it was hard to believe, they quickly accepted it. From the beginning, the Drunken Taoist had suspected that there was something wrong, so he went to Zhou An to confirm his guess.
Jin Xuan said: "I knew it wasn't you, but most of the disciples of Zhengyi Sect now believe that you killed your uncle and uncle, and I guess other sects are similar."
Zhou An smiled and said, "All the masters of the righteous sects are smart people, and it is not difficult for them to find the suspicious points. They retreated this time, of course, because of the deterrence of my Haotian Divine Seal, but more importantly, they also thought that it was not me who did it. They attacked the palace just to confirm their guess and to give an explanation to the disciples.
As for the younger disciples not being able to see through it, I can’t do anything about it. Right now, both Zhengdao and I are facing great troubles, and we can’t care so much.”
"That's right. Hey! Zhou An, I was so scared just now that I almost forgot what you did to my senior sister. When you appeared this time, my senior sister said that some images kept appearing in her mind, and she had a feeling coming from you." Jin Xuan said.
Zhou Ling continued, "Whenever I get close to you, strange images keep appearing in my mind. They've never appeared before. Did you cast a curse on me?"
The drunk Taoist was also curious, and Zhou An looked confused.
Suddenly I thought of something and took out the ethereal jade pendant. I found that it was emitting light, and it was very obvious.
"No way! What a coincidence?" Zhou An looked at Zhou Ling in surprise.
"The pattern above is the same as the mark of the Kongling Immortal Palace. Is this something from the Kongling Immortal Palace?" The Drunken Taoist recognized it at a glance. He was very familiar with this mark. He had been guarding there for so many years, how could he not be familiar with it.
"This is the Kongling Jade Pendant, which is carried by the Kongling Fairy. Shuyao told me that when this jade pendant is close to the Kongling Fairy's reincarnation, it will produce a sense of induction. At the beginning, I promised them to find the Kongling Fairy's reincarnation, but I didn't expect it would be Zhou Ling." Zhou An said with a smile.
"Senior sister is the reincarnation of the ethereal fairy!"
Jin Xuan was surprised. This was a great thing for cultivators, so he was naturally happy for her. Moreover, such things could not be talked about casually, otherwise it would bring trouble to Zhou An. The cultivators' words were spiritual, and many things would come true in the dark. However, ordinary people did not practice the way of heaven, so they could naturally say whatever they wanted.
The drunk Taoist stroked his beard and smiled, "Does Brother Zhou An have anything to say? No, what did Fairy Kong Ling say back then?"
"Fairy Kong Ling asked Shu Yao and the others to leave a message, and find her reincarnation and lead her back to Kong Ling Immortal Mansion. These three immortal treasures were the treasures she used for sacrifice back then, so I will return them to their original owners."
Zhou An knew that this old guy was very cunning. After confirming that Zhou Ling was the reincarnation of the Kongling Fairy, he gave Zhou Ling the lower-grade fairy treasure Kongling Fairy Clothes, the lower-grade fairy treasure Yuling Fairy Bracelet, and the middle-grade fairy treasure Kongling Xuanbing Flying Sword.
Zhou Ling didn't answer it, frowned and said: "Since I have joined the Zhengyi Dao, I will not change it casually. Thank you for your kindness."
Zhou An was surprised. This woman really had a strong personality. She would not take the three magic treasures even if they were right in front of her for free. If she left them outside, many cultivators would fight to the death for them.
He placed the three treasures on the table and said, "I won't force you, but these three things are yours. Take them back. When you recover your memories of your past life, you can come back to the Kongling Immortal Mansion anytime. If you don't want to, it's up to you. This is fine."
Zhou Ling showed his delight. As a cultivator, who doesn't like powerful magic weapons? He picked up the three magic weapons, his face flushed with excitement, and bowed, "Thank you."
"Tsk tsk, I was wondering how I, Jin Xuan, could be wrong in judging people. No matter whether you are the emperor or not, I, Jin Xuan, have recognized you as my brother." Jin Xuan had a very pleased expression on his face, which made Zhou An roll his eyes. This guy was just a half-grown kid, but he acted like a social person.
"Junior brother, don't talk nonsense. Zhou An is my uncle's good friend. You have messed up the relationship between the generations." Zhou Ling glared.
"Haha, let's just keep our distance. People who practice Taoism don't need so many worldly etiquette. Zhou An, come, let's get drunk today. We'll say goodbye today, and I don't know if we'll have the chance to meet again in the future."
The drunk Taoist had a really big heart. He said such sad words casually and started drinking and eating with a smile.
If he wants to go back to guard the mountain gate, he will have to fight with the Jitian Sect. The strength of the Jitian Sect is unknown, but they can let Taiyi Zhenren join, plus a half-immortal level existence, it is definitely not something that Zui Daoren and his fellow disciples can take on, so he is preparing for death.
When talking about this question, Jin Xuan and Zhou Ling both showed sorrowful expressions. Zhou An smiled and said, "Don't be so expressionless. At worst, I will take you in when you are reincarnated. It will be just right that when the time comes, both the Divine Beggar and the Heavenly Chanzi will be found, and you can be together again."
"Haha, okay, thank you very much." The drunk Taoist laughed, and the two began to chat about this and that, talking a lot about the Eight Void Spirit Monsters. Of course, this was to make them more familiar with these people so that they could get the Eight Void Spirit Swords Formation from them.
