What do these lines represent? What secrets are hidden within them?
Xiang Sheng pondered and guessed repeatedly, and time passed slowly...
The next morning, as the light of day dimmed, the quiet earthen building gradually regained its noisy sound.
Xiang Sheng woke up from his meditation, walked into the room and took a look at Lu Zhu, who was still in meditation. He did not disturb him, but left a note next to the oil lamp and continued to go out to inquire about the news.
As the day of the opening of the ancestral land approaches, the number of cultivators in the ancient city increases significantly, and it becomes more and more lively day by day. There are three more markets overnight alone.
Xiang Shengma toured the entire area without stopping, and only found out that the entrance to the Lu family's ancestral land was in the ruins of the north city, and it had been blocked by various forces for dozens of miles around, making it impossible for casual cultivators to get close.
The ancestral land has not yet been opened, why is it blocked in advance?
The more Xiang Sheng inquired, the more he was certain that there was something fishy going on. The senior management of the Wan family was one of those who knew about it, so they came early just to get involved.
Although he still didn't understand what these cultivation families were up to, Xiang Sheng had a bad feeling in his heart.
On the bright side, the cultivation families didn't let the independent cultivators know just to reap the benefits for themselves; but on the negative side, if they hid it from the independent cultivators, would those cultivation families take advantage of the loopholes in the city's formations... and do something?
Although the formation in the city has a period of delay, it will not be interrupted. As long as people are not dead, they will be hunted down by the formation. How can they use it?
Unable to figure it out, Xiang Sheng could only let it go for the time being. Just as he was about to go and inquire about the news of the Chiyan Sect, he suddenly saw a lot of people rushing in the same direction.
"Hurry, there's a quarrel at the Blazing Flame Sect's stronghold!"
"There might be a fight. If you go too late, you won't be able to see it."
“Go, go, go!”
“…”
Xiang Sheng heard the conversation of passers-by and immediately followed the many pedestrians to the Chiyan Sect's base.
After turning two or three streets and arriving at a mud building, Xiang Sheng could only hear faint quarrels coming from inside. The door was surrounded by monks in three layers inside and outside, and he could not squeeze in.
He looked around, jumped onto a nearby earth wall and held on tightly, finally finding an angle from which he could see what was happening inside.
At a glance, Xiang Sheng saw that the person standing on the side of the courtyard of the earthen building was Elder Yuan, whom she had been hiding from for many days!
Elder Yuan actually chased here?
Xiang Sheng's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to jump off the earth wall and escape immediately, but he stopped as soon as he started to move.
The present was different from the past. She had transformed herself, and if someone in the Foundation Establishment stage didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to spot her flaws. Plus, the place was filled with people watching the excitement, so it was impossible for anyone inside to notice her.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng steadied his body and continued to watch with all his eyesight and hearing.
"Elder Yuan, I really don't know how I have offended you. I'm sorry you've come all this way. If I've done anything wrong, I apologize."
Xiang Hongyu's face turned pale and he bowed, appearing to be extremely humble.
Xiang Sheng, who was watching from a distance, was secretly surprised by this scene.
Xiang Hongyu is one of the ten inner sect disciples and has great potential. Elder Yuan is just an ordinary elder. Such positions are usually held by outer sect disciples who are over the age limit and have no chance of joining the inner sect.
Even if Xiang Hongyu didn't want to make enemies with others, he shouldn't be so servile.
"Yuan Zhong, Hongyu has a gentle temperament and has always been easy to get along with."
At this time, the black-clothed young man standing next to Xiang Hongyu spoke with a smile, but there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "It is better to make some things clear so that I can make a judgment. Don't let the wandering cultivators see and laugh at you."
Elder Yuan's attitude immediately softened, and he snorted unhappily, "Brother Shu, since you've spoken, I'll speak out today. Xiang Hongyu, your attendant is really going too far!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Hongyu's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Elder, are you talking about... Sheng'er?"
"Attendant, isn't that a servant disciple?"
"A servant disciple bullies an inner sect elder?"
"Are we fools when we are casual cultivators?"
“…”
Not only were the surrounding cultivators in an uproar, Shu Gaoming was also stunned.
He happened to know that Xiang Hongyu's attendant sister had just joined the sect and was still a mortal.
A mortal could not only bully Yuan Zhong, but also make him so furious that he traveled thousands of miles to find Xiang Hongyu. Could it be that... that little girl had escaped down the mountain?
Shu Gaoming's interest was immediately piqued. "Yuan Zhong, can you tell me in detail what exactly is going on?"
Xiang Hongyu also quickly expressed his opinion, "Elder Yuan, if it is really my attendant's fault, I will personally capture her and bring her before you to apologize. You can kill her or chop her up, it's all at your disposal!"
