Xiang Sheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "I heard something on the way, but I didn't hear it clearly. Can you tell me the details?"
"You'd better just watch it."
Fourteen took out a wrinkled thin booklet from his pocket and placed it on the table. "I bought this from the Tianqing Pavilion. It cost me a whole spirit stone."
"Tianqing Pavilion?"
Xiang Sheng raised her eyebrows and asked, "How did you get to Tianqing Pavilion if you couldn't get down the mountain?"
"There's a market right at the foot of the mountain, don't you know?"
Fourteen picked up a piece of dessert and threw it into his mouth, saying as he ate, "I've been there several times with Qinji on business, and I've become familiar with the place. Tianqing Pavilion is located in the market."
"I see."
Xiang Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
Tianqing Pavilion... She had also seen it in Luguo Market.
Not only did the Chiyan Sect allow it to flourish throughout its territory, it even tolerated it to establish a base within its own sect?
Either the Tianqing Pavilion made the Chiyan Sect feel no threat; or the Tianqing Pavilion's power far exceeded the eighth rank, so the Chiyan Sect had no intention of resisting and could only let things take their course.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng picked up the booklet on the table and opened it.
The booklet was crudely made, but the content was clear. The first page talked about the events of Xuanwang City.
The writer seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, describing in great detail how Xue Yunzi took the lead in releasing the puppets and carrying out the bloody sacrifice and massacre in the city.
After the explosion at the Lu family's ancestral land, the narration became unclear.
"It is suspected that the Lu family's ancestor and Xue Yunzi perished together, and their legacy was most likely passed down to the 'Lu family's demon woman'. With the help of the city's formation, the demon woman, filled with hatred, began to murder the Fengyue Sect's disciples.
For several days thereafter, relying solely on her cultivation level at the initial stage of foundation building, she caused unrest in the entire Xuanwang City. Even Wan Lingmo, a true disciple of Fengyue Sect, was unable to do anything to her.
Afterwards, the "Lü Family Demoness" devised another strategy, showing the enemy weakness and wiping out over a hundred scattered cultivators in the city! Except for Wan Lingmo, who escaped by severing his own legs, all the other Fengyue Sect disciples survived.
In this battle, the weak defeated the strong. The evil mind of the Lu family witch and her decisiveness in killing shocked the entire Dongzhou cultivation world, and her reputation spread quickly!
There are even rumors that the eighth-grade sect Baihua Palace has personally extended an olive branch, wanting to invite the Lu family demon girl to become its true disciple.
But after the battle at Xuanwang City, the enchantress of the Lu family disappeared like a flash in the pan, her whereabouts unknown. No matter how hard the numerous cultivators searched for clues, they could find none.
Our Tianqing Pavilion has been entrusted by many sects to issue a bounty. Anyone who has reliable information and reports the 'Lu Family Witch' to any branch of the Tianqing Pavilion, and it is verified, will receive a reward of no less than ten Mingjing Pills!
Don't miss this great opportunity, my fellow colleagues.
——Tianqing Pavilion·Lu Xuanji."
Fourteen looked at Sheng and his gaze fell to the end of the article. He couldn't help but ask, "How is it? This Lu family witch is amazing, right?"
"It's really awesome."
After praising himself for a few words, Xiang Sheng added, "This kind of half-truthful article is just for reading, don't really believe it."
In the previous article, when it was mentioned that Xue Yunzi took the lead in the massacre of the city, Tianqing Pavilion concealed the role of Shu Gaoming and Wan Lingmo. She couldn't comment on whether it was intentional.
But the second half of the article was based on her personal experience, so how could she not see that it was all nonsense?
Fourteen was not convinced and said stubbornly, "Miss Sheng, this is a booklet issued by Tianqing Pavilion, why can't we believe it?
We are short-sighted and haven't seen such a powerful woman, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. I heard that our Blazing Flame Sect also has a Jurchen sect!"
Xiang Sheng was helpless and could only half-jokingly say, "I'm saying... Tianqing Pavilion's spies aren't omnipotent. Maybe this Lu family witch is even more powerful than what's described in the booklet."
Fourteen immediately smiled happily when he heard it, "Of course!"
"I haven't finished reading this booklet yet, so leave it here for now."
Xiang Sheng flipped his hand and took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it to Fourteen, "Please keep an eye on Tianqing Pavilion for me. If they publish a similar booklet again, please buy it for me."
Fourteen swiftly took away the spirit stone bag and chuckled, "I know you don't need spirit stones right now, so I won't be polite with you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first and come back to see you."
"good."
After seeing Fourteen off, Xiang Sheng called someone in to clear away the dishes, while he took the booklet back to the inner room to continue reading it.
This kind of booklet is very similar to the newspapers in the previous life, recording the recent major and minor events in the Dongzhou cultivation world.
Xiang Sheng quickly flipped through a few pages and soon found what he wanted to read.
This page only mentions that the Wan family has been acting in a high-profile manner recently and has had friction with several surrounding forces.
Between the lines, it is clearly implied that Wan Lingmo lost his power in Fengyue Sect after being seriously injured, and the Wan family became more aggressive. In fact, it was just bluffing and the empire was about to collapse.
Speaking of which, because of Wan Lingmo, the Xiang family has been suppressed by the Wan family over the years. Xiang Wenli is powerless to change it and can only watch the family decline and gradually become a vassal.
At the beginning, she touched upon Xiang Wanwan's mother's family and Xiang Wenli changed his mind on the spot. He definitely had a lot of resentment towards the Wan family.
If Xiang Wenli doesn't do something about the Wan family's troubles this time, he would be unjust to all the injustices he has suffered over the years.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng frowned slightly.
Last time in Lu Guomingyunfang Market, she met Butler Fu, and later she heard that Butler Fu's name was Li Jude, after his master.
It is obvious that this name is a pseudonym, and the method of distributing elixirs is quite consistent with Xiang Wenli's method of secretly administering the Soul Sound Grass. There is at least an 80% chance that the person is Xiang Wenli.
Why did he go to Lu State? What was his purpose?
He was clearly guarding a cave, so why would he go far away instead of near?
