Chapter 115: The Tattered and Chi Yanzi
Even though she didn't want to believe it, Lingxiang had no choice but to believe it since the senior brothers said so.
"He...his cause of death was..."
Master Fuyin sighed, "Just like that outer disciple last time, he was hit in the back and died instantly, killed by the demonic blade..."
"What!" Lingxiang was shocked, "You haven't found the real culprit yet?"
These words finally made the elders look a little embarrassed. Zhenren Qianyuan couldn't help but say, "I was busy with the Xuancang Cave a few days ago, so this matter was delayed. The head brother also tried divination, but couldn't get any clues from the hexagrams. Since the demons are involved, I don't think it will be easy to calculate."
"Yes," Master Chengxin also spoke up at this time. "We have arranged for a group of disciples to intensify patrols these days in order to catch the real culprit. But who would have thought that even with this, someone would still succeed. It seems that someone from the demon clan must be behind this."
What the two senior brothers said was indeed true. I think the demon must have had a plan in mind to avoid the patrol.
"Could it be..." Lingxiang said carefully: "Could it be related to Bai Wuchang..."
The elders' faces sternened when they heard this. Since the appearance of the white-faced Shura in the last martial arts performance, they have not made any moves. Instead, two murders have occurred among the outer disciples, and both were caused by injuries from the magic blade. This has to make people connect him with this matter.
"I don't think it has anything to do with him," Master Donghui pondered. "Given Bai Wuchang's personality, although he's meticulous, he's also extremely arrogant. He definitely won't get involved in the affairs of the outer disciples. Even if he wants to take action, he should start with us brothers."
Upon hearing this, Master Qianyuan stroked his beard and said, "Junior Brother Donghui, what you said is indeed true."
"Arrogant? I don't agree with what Fourth Senior Brother said." Lingxiang said as she stepped off the Hunyuan Stage. "If he was arrogant, why would he have acted like that during the second martial arts performance? They say he's meticulous, but who knows if he's trying to hide something else?"
Shangqing Zhenren opened his eyes at this moment and stared at the Hunyuan Instrument without moving. However, the Hunyuan Instrument did not show any signs at all, which really made him a little confused.
In the end, it was because my cultivation was not advanced enough. If it were in the past, my master would have been able to find some clues from the details.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly and said in a deep voice, "What Lingxiang said does make sense. You fellow apprentice brothers also know about White-Faced Shura. Since they met last time, I think he must be planning something. If this matter is really related to him, I'm afraid he has a plan. We must be on guard."
"What does Master mean..." asked Zhenren Qianyuan.
Shangqing Zhenren was silent for a moment before replying, "What happened fourteen years ago was orchestrated by him for the Demon Lord. He is a man of many cunning schemes, and his intentions are difficult to fathom. Now that something like this has happened, to prevent a repeat of the same mistake, the sect must be on high alert."
"Wait a minute, Senior Brother..." Master Fuyin suddenly spoke up. "I think we shouldn't alert the enemy just yet. Regardless of whether this incident is related to him, it's undeniable that there's a traitor within the sect. Even if we're on high alert, if the traitor isn't eliminated, we'll eventually be defeated."
"Hmm..." Shangqing Zhenren pondered, "Junior Brother Fuyin, what you said makes sense... In your opinion, how should we lure this traitor out?"
"This..." Master Fuyin pinched his chin and lowered his eyebrows, "There is no good way for the time being..."
Just when everyone was at a loss, Han Yang walked in from outside the hall and saluted towards Hunyuantai.
"Master, a wandering Taoist has come down the mountain and said he has something important to discuss with you."
A wandering Taoist priest? This was strange. What could a wandering Taoist priest do in the Yuanqing Sect?
"Is there a report number?" asked Zhenren Qianyuan.
Han Yang quickly replied, "I was negligent. The person who came said his Taoist name was Chi Yanzi."
"Senior Chi Yanzi?" Lingxiang was extremely surprised, and so were the other elders. This Chi Yanzi claimed to have no connection to the Yuanqing Sect, yet he was very close to Fairy Tu Mi. He had never set foot in Yuanqing, so why would he come now?
"Junior sister, do you recognize this Chi Yanzi?" Master Donghui heard something unusual in Lingxiang's words.
"We can be considered to have shared hardships..." Lingxiang said, telling about her journey with Chi Yanzi after the Tai Shang Sect.
Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin suddenly spoke up, "When we were at Youran Residence earlier, you only said that you were saved by a master. Is this master Chi Yanzi?"
Lingxiang nodded and said yes. Seeing this, the elders sighed in their hearts.
This is fate...
"Since Taoist Chi Yanzi is here to visit, why don't you go and meet him and find out what he's here for." Taoist Shangqing instructed Taoist Qianyuan.
Upon hearing this, Lingxiang hurried to go along. Shangqing Zhenren thought that after all, his junior sister had received a favor from someone, so she should go and thank him. So he gave her a few instructions and granted her request.
…
Chi Yanzi sat in the hall in tattered clothes, attracting the attention of a crowd of disciples outside. These disciples were also very curious. He was clearly a serious cultivator, so how could he end up in such a state?
The palace gate was surrounded by crowds of people, and as the disciples scrambled to watch, they suddenly heard a burst of scolding.
"Surrounded like this, don't you all have anything to do? This is unbelievable behavior for disciples of such a great sect!"
It was none other than the eldest disciple of Zhenren Qianyuan, whose Taoist name was Shouqi.
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly dispersed to the side, made way for the door, and stood with their hands hanging down, bowing.
"What are you still standing there for? Have you finished your homework? Have you swept the house?" Shouqi saw that everyone was standing there and refused to leave, so he shouted again.
All the disciples hurriedly ran away like monkeys. Shouqian bowed to Zhenren Qianyuan and Lingxiang and invited them in.
As Lingxiang walked by, she patted Shoutao on the shoulder and teased, "Shoutao is increasingly showing the demeanor of a disciple of a major sect. It seems Second Senior Brother has taught well, and there's hope for successors!"
Shouqi smiled awkwardly and bowed when he heard this: "Little Sister, please don't make fun of me. Come with Master to meet the guests." Then he extended his hand to invite him in.
Lingxiang walked into the hall laughing, but stopped laughing after seeing the people in the hall.
this……
This senior Chi Yanzi's appearance is also quite...
It's horrible...
"Senior Chi Yanzi... have you... caused trouble for Xianrenyi? Why... why are you in such a mess..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yuan Zhenren quickly scolded Ling Xiang for being unruly, then turned to apologize to Chi Yanzi, saying that Ling Xiang was young. But Chi Yanzi just laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
"Little friend Lingxiang, it's been a long time since we last met. You're still so outspoken."
Lingxiang scratched her head and laughed, "No, no, it's because the seniors spoiled the juniors that they allowed me to act like this."
"Come to think of it, you can't call me senior anymore." Chi Yanzi and Qian Yuan Zhenren saluted each other and then said with a smile.
Lingxiang was puzzled when she heard this. What else could he be called if not senior?
Seeing her like this, Chi Yanzi and Qian Yuan Zhenren exchanged a glance, and then Qian Yuan Zhenren smiled and said:
"According to seniority, you should address him as Senior Brother. His master is your mother, Fairy Tumi."
"What!?"
