Li Changan felt a little regretful as he looked at the rapidly collapsing and extinguished world of the Demon Garden Cave.
The only magical treasure of the Taixuan Sect was completely destroyed after this battle, and the magical energy within it was also stolen by the suppressed monster, which escaped to Canglan.
It can be said that the one who suffered the greatest loss before and after this incident was Emperor Taixuanzong.
But many times, victory or defeat cannot be judged by gains or losses.
"Qili was captured by the previous Canglan commander and sealed away in the Taixuan Demon Garden. Although this matter is a secret within a secret, there are many people in Beizhou who are interested. At least those in the five major sacred places should have heard of it."
"So, even if the master wants to let Yili leave, he can't do it too obviously. This meeting in the holy land is the most appropriate opportunity." Houyi said.
Li Changan and others did not come out from the entrance of the Demon Garden, but Houyi used great means to shoot them out from the broken void cracks of the Demon Garden.
So the place they came out from was not Taixuan Sect, but outside the Canglan Iron Wall thousands of miles away.
Li Changan and his group who returned from the Ghost Forest stood on the top of the Canglan Iron Wall, looking at the Canglan Demon Kingdom with different expressions.
Houyi was still wearing a white Confucian robe, which was clean and smooth without a single wrinkle, but strangely, his face was gray and full of pain.
"Big Brother, can we talk after you shower and change clothes?"
"Nezha, why are your two braids one long and one short? They're not symmetrical..."
"Master, who gave you the tonsure? Tell me, I'm going to beat him to death!"
The old monk touched his bald head and asked, "Why is this man so strange? He just has one scar missing from his ordination."
Li Changan glared at Hou Yi and said, "Go on."
Hou Yi's face was ashen, his brows furrowed. "Over the years, I have sent people to Canglan Demon City to gather information, and finally got some useful intelligence."
"Imprisoned in the Monster Garden, Yili is the adopted daughter of the patriarch of the Canglan Monster City's surviving clan. Originally an immortal bird, she awakened the ancient True Phoenix bloodline and is highly valued by them. However, fifty years ago, Yili fought with the young patriarch of the Bai Clan, another of Canglan's major clans. She defeated him and took his demon core, incurring the Bai Clan's wrath. I believe Yili secretly left Canglan Monster City to avoid the Bai Clan's attack, hoping to cross the Canglan Iron Wall."
Hou Yi stood in military posture, his back straight. "Unfortunately, Qi Li was spotted by the Canglan garrison commander at the time and was arrested."
Li Changan knew what happened next.
"The Yi and Bai tribes have been fighting for tens of thousands of years, and they're evenly matched. Over the years, their internal strife has gradually eased, and there's even a tendency for them to unite. But the incident fifty years ago marked the beginning of a rift between the two families. It would be fine if Qili died, but if he returned to Canglan Demon City unharmed, it would undoubtedly incur the wrath of the Bai tribe. Who knows, there's going to be a drama of mutual destruction between the two tribes..."
Li Changan glanced at Hou Yi and said, "You've learned a lot from that old man Chen Bailou's cunning and scheming!"
Hou Yi's face turned stern. "Don't be jealous, Big Brother. This is all for the safety of the human race..."
If you're jealous, I'll eat your brain!
Li Changan snorted in annoyance, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "The young chief of the Bai tribe you just mentioned is a golden crow?"
Hou Yi nodded. "Yes, because of the demon clan's bloodline, the stronger the bloodline, the harder it is to produce offspring. The Bai clan leader was originally a golden-winged roc, but he had difficulty conceiving an heir for thousands of years. So he adopted a golden crow as his son and made him the young patriarch of the Bai clan. Unfortunately, he was killed by Qi Li fifty years ago, and even his demon core was dug out."
Li Changan narrowed his eyes.
Now, the Golden Crow Demon Pill is not in the hands of Qili, but in the hands of Nezha of Taixuan Jiufeng. Could it be that Qili, that little girl, wants to divert the trouble?
That's not the case. Even if it knew that the Golden Crow Demon Pill was in Taixuan Sect, the Roc would not travel tens of thousands of miles and risk being barbecued to seek revenge in Taixuan Sect, right?
Li Changan shook his head.
"Let's go, go back!"
"Going back now?" Houyi was a little reluctant. He had finally met his eldest brother, but now they had to part in such a hurry.
"Why not go back? The meeting in the Holy Land isn't over yet. The Monster Garden is destroyed, and over a thousand outer sect disciples have died there. Not only that, but Nezha also killed Zhuang Zizhen, the young master of the Aries Academy. That old man Gu Lai was already very hostile to Tai Xuan, and now he has a big handle on him."
Li Changan said with some complaints.
Houyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Nezha.
This junior sister of his is also a powerful character. She is decisive and ruthless in killing, and she is not afraid of even a holy place like Aries Academy.
It's just... her dress is too casual. Look at the long and short braids, the uneven bangs, the sleeves that are pulled up one high and one low, and the buttons that are half-buttoned.
Houyi covered his chest and staggered back a step.
Damn, I almost vomited blood after taking a look at it. I think I’m a talented person!
After leaving the iron wall, the few people soon arrived at Beiyang City under the iron wall.
Beiyang City is a fully armed county city located under the iron wall of Canglan. Houyi is not only the commander of the Canglan garrison, but also the lord of Beiyang City, the supreme leader.
After entering the city, Li Changan was pushed into the bathhouse one by one by Houyi before he could even have a bite of food, and was forced to take a bath and change clothes.
In order to take care of this neurotic fourth junior brother, Li Changan had no choice but to follow his arrangements. By the time he finished cleaning up, it was almost evening.
After finishing their meal, the old monk took Xuanzang to say goodbye to Li Changan.
"Are you leaving?" Li Changan asked.
In this meeting at the Demon Garden, the final winner was not the representative of the five holy places, but rather the independent monk who had been looked down upon from the very beginning.
Li Changan was very suspicious that the last bit of energy that Qili bestowed upon Xuanzang was the immortal energy of the Demon Garden, but he was not in a position to ask about such matters.
The old monk was filled with gratitude. "We have troubled Mr. Li for a long time. I dare not bother you any further. But don't worry, your kindness is deeply appreciated. When we return, we will immediately pray to the Buddha to protect you from suffering..."
"Forget it, you're just worried that I'll target the young monk Xuanzang and take away his fortune..." Li Changan snorted in dissatisfaction.
Who the hell accepted this old guy into Buddhism? Is the threshold to Buddhism so low?
The old monk smiled awkwardly.
"I came to Northern Continent originally to search for a Buddhist disciple. Now that I have found one, I naturally want him to enter my Little Leiyin Temple as soon as possible..."
"Isn't the Master the abbot of the White Horse Temple? How did you become a member of the Little Leiyin Temple?"
The old monk opened his mouth with an embarrassed look on his face.
Well, even I forgot it, but this guy still remembered it.
Li Changan waved his hand and said, "If you want to leave, go ahead. I can't invite you to dinner."
The old monk paused and said, "It's not impossible for me to have a vegetarian meal before leaving..."
Li Changan: "..."
"Old Four, think of a way to block Master Xuanzang's pure Zen mind, and then make this old man get out of here quickly."
"I'm cursing the guy next door. I hate those hairless guys the most!"
