They could be shameless, but City Lord Tang still had to be. Seeing his old friends fawning like this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Ahem, ahem, I didn't know that Master Gu's alchemy skills were so amazing before. I was blind and neglected. Please forgive me.
I have prepared a banquet. If Master Gu doesn't mind, please come to my City Lord's Mansion for a chat." City Lord Tang said to Gu Qingxi sincerely.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you." This City Lord was open and aboveboard. Gu Qingxi had a good impression of him and nodded.
Under the admiring gaze of everyone in the audience, Gu Qingxi, Xiao Fangqing, Xie Fuzhi and others followed City Lord Tang to the City Lord's Mansion.
In the crowd, an old man looked at their backs as they left, his face livid. It was Ke Mingjian, the leader of Taiyi Sect.
He also knew that Taiyi Sect was contemptible for repaying kindness with enmity. In order to avoid public anger, he did not appear next to Wei Jide and others.
He thought Sun Tingxuan had a sure win. He had already arranged his men in private, thinking that if the Shendan Pavilion refused to withdraw from Fenglan City, he would take action directly and completely break up with the Piaoyun Sect.
But what he never expected was that Sun Tingxuan actually lost.
In other words, it was not the Shendan Pavilion that withdrew from Fenglan City, but the Yudan Square.
This also meant that years of planning had failed, and the efforts that Taiyi Sect had invested in the Yudan Square over the years had completely turned into nothing.
"Gu Qingxi, Gu Qingxi!" Ke Mingjian looked at the young and graceful figure from a distance, gnashing his teeth and whispering to himself, his fists clenched and cracking.
"Master Sect Master, this damn girl dared to ruin my sect's plan, do you want to?" Next to him, an old man with a ruthless face raised his palm and made a downward beheading gesture.
Ke Mingjian narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a fierce killing intent.
"Don't be reckless. Although Tang Huaili's cultivation is not high, Fenglan City has been friends with all the major sects and families for many years. Moreover, Qiu Changtian and others are in
Fenglan City and need Gu Qingxi's help.
If we act rashly, it will definitely cause public outrage and the gains will not outweigh the losses. Even if we want to act, we must not act in Fenglan City and we must not act in the near future." Another old man said with a gloomy face. "
Yes, a little impatience will ruin a big plan. Let her live for a while, and it won't be too late to act after a while." Ke Mingjian took a deep breath and said, loosening his clenched fist, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not change at all.
At the same time, in an ancient and majestic palace, three old men with runes engraved all over their bodies were arranging spirit stones and controlling the formation. The formation was ten feet in radius, and complex and dense runes covered the entire hall.
As the light patterns of the formation rippled, a spirit that was completely different from the spirit of heaven and earth surged from all directions, slowly rotating and condensing, faintly forming a spirit bead.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy stagnated, and the spiritual bead that was condensing also stopped.
The faces of the three old men all changed slightly, and they stared at the spiritual bead intently.
Soon, the spiritual energy began to flow again, rotating and continuing to condense into a spiritual bead.
"High Priest, what happened just now?" The slightly younger old man asked hesitantly.
"Maybe it was just a coincidence." The old man called the high priest remained silent, and another old man guessed.
"Should we report this to the Lord God?" the former asked.
"The Lord God is in seclusion recently, so don't disturb him for now.
If there is anything else, it won't be too late to report it." The high priest said after a moment of hesitation.
The three continued to operate the formation, and they didn't find that the spiritual energy that was surging was a little weaker than before, and the spiritual bead that was condensing was also a little dimmer than
before .
In the elegant reception room of the Fenglan City Lord's Mansion, the green spiritual tea exuded a faint fragrance.
Gu Qingxi sipped the spiritual tea in small sips, and finally had a moment of peace.
On the way here, Elder Qiu and others were all around her, flattering her and getting close to her. To be more precise, they were flattering her in all kinds of ways, just like a thousand ducks quacking in her ears, which made her very annoyed and she almost ran away.
"Fellow Taoists, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." After drinking a cup of spiritual tea, seeing Elder Qiu and others preparing to speak again, Gu Qingxi took the initiative to ask.
"Master Gu, this matter is a bit strange, and we can't explain it clearly. It's better for you to see it yourself." Elder Qiu and Wan Xiangzhen and others looked at each other and said seriously.
"Then let's go." Gu Qingxi stood up.
Speaking of business, City Lord Tang no longer talked about politeness and led a few people to a courtyard behind the City Lord's Mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Gu Qingxi felt a faint chill.
Pushing open the gate, I saw hundreds of young monks lying flat on bamboo couches in the spacious courtyard, their faces were gray and their bodies were motionless, just like cold corpses.
It was dusk, and the afterglow in the sky had not yet faded, but the courtyard was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
If it weren't for Gu Qingxi's powerful consciousness, she would have noticed that these people still had a glimmer of life, and she would have almost suspected that she had walked into the city lord's mansion instead of the charity cemetery after the disaster.
"Elder Qiu, what's going on?" Sun Tingxuan turned his head and asked in surprise.
"This is what we call the weirdness. Starting three months ago, some of our disciples began to show abnormalities. First, their spiritual power dissipated, then they became weak all over, and then they had convulsions and coma, and finally they became like this.<

We had invited many famous doctors to see them before. Some said that they were possessed by demons, some said that they were poisoned, and some said that evil spirits had entered their bodies, but it was all speculation. There was no conclusion, and we couldn't think of a cure." Elder Qiu said worriedly.
"Why haven't I heard any news?" Sun Tingxuan was even more surprised.
Although the history of these sects and families present is not too long, and their foundation is not as good as those of the old sects and families, they have risen rapidly in recent years and are at their peak. When
something like this happens to the young juniors, there should be some rumors, but he really hasn't heard any rumors.
"These juniors are all core disciples of our sects and families, and some are young sect masters and young family masters. How dare they leak the slightest wind." Elder Qiu said with a wry smile.
Sun Tingxuan then realized that these sects and families present rose too fast, and it was inevitable that their foundations were unstable.
If the news that the young masters and core disciples of each family encountered an unexpected event spread, it would be likely to be suppressed by other sects and families.
They didn't ask for help at the beginning because of this reason. The Dan Sheng's goal is too big, and it is easier to fall into the eyes of those who are interested.
It would be fine if he could cure these young disciples, but if he couldn't, these sects and families would be in big trouble.
"Master Gu, Sun Dansheng, this matter is related to the rise and fall of our sects and families.
As long as you two can help us survive this disaster, we will do whatever you ask." Elder Qiu said.
Gu Qingxi nodded, without saying anything more, and walked directly into the yard.
If only one sect or family had an accident, it might be accidental, but so many sects and families had accidents at the same time, she would never believe it was accidental, let alone coincidence.
What conspiracy is hidden behind this?
