Chapter 321 Ziyun Tiancheng
After half a month of traveling day and night, Lianyi and his party finally arrived at the city where Ziyun Palace was located. Ziyuntian City was a rather prosperous city. Because of the existence of Ziyun Palace, Taoism was flourishing here and there were many Taoists coming and going.
Lianyi and his companions were queuing up to enter the city. Looking at the tall and majestic city in front of them and the long queues of people, Lianyi felt a sense of fear.
Luo Ying looked at her young lady's frowning brows and asked softly:
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Lianyi didn't say anything, just shook her head.
At this time, Wuyou brought Fengyu to Lianyi's carriage and saluted:
"Fairy Luyao, someone from Ziyun Palace is here to take us into the city. Please follow me through the other entrance."
Lian Yi nodded, thought for a moment and said:
"Please wait for a moment, Taoist Wuyou."
Then she called Wen Lu and Wu Meng over directly. Their relationship was no longer a secret. After Lianyi talked with Minmin, she had a long talk with her mother, and then Wen Lu accepted Wu Meng's pursuit.
Wu Meng has been cheerful every day since then, and has taken good care of Wen Lu and her daughter. He has been teased by other guards a lot, but it is always a good thing.
Lianyi was also happy to see this happen and said that she would arrange a wedding for them after she finished her travels. Wenlu did not hesitate and accepted it happily. She also told Lianyi privately that she did not want to get married as soon as she agreed to his pursuit, and it was a good opportunity for her to test Wu Meng while she was traveling. Lianyi agreed with this, after all, time will tell a person's true character.
Back to the present, Lianyi called the two over and said directly:
"I don't plan to bring any of you into Ziyuntian City this time. After I enter the city, I will go directly to Ziyun Palace to stay temporarily. You go to the village where we finally settled down and wait for me. Once everything here is settled, I will reunite with you."
"Miss, this is inappropriate! You are alone, how can you do this?"
Wen Lu immediately objected.
"Yes, Miss, you should at least bring Luo Ying and Luo Huai with you."
Wu Meng also disagreed with Lian Yi's decision.
"You don't need to argue with me this time. Just follow my orders. There are problems in Ziyuntian City that you can't handle. In order not to add burden to me, it's better for you to stay in a safe place."
Wen Lu and Wu Meng looked at each other, bowed and agreed, without further persuading them.
Before leaving, Chu Liangchen handed Xiao Hui to Lianyi.
"Miss, you didn't let us follow you, there must be something important to do. If there is anything we can do, please let Xiao Hui bring the news back to me."
This time Lianyi did not refuse. She directly stuffed Xiao Hui into her sleeve pocket, then waved to everyone and followed Master Wuyou and his disciple to the entrance on the other side.
Feng Yu couldn't help but asked:
"Fairy Luyao, why don't you let your followers follow you?"
"There are other things they need to do. Besides, Ziyun Palace is a place for cultivation, so it is inconvenient to entertain them."
Ripple replied with a smile.
In fact, Wuyou wanted to say that he had already explained in the letter that the sect should have been prepared for their arrival, but this time there was only one person. However, he knew that Fairy Lu Yao always acted according to her heart, so he did not ask any more questions.
After entering Ziyuntian City, Lianyi looked around with her eyes hidden behind her veil. Although the surroundings were bustling, she always felt that something was strange.
Following Wuyou into the center of Ziyun City, a purple stone tablet as tall as a person stood in front of the three of them, with three large characters "Ziyun Palace" written on it in a flamboyant style.
"Brother Wuyou, you're back!"
A tall man in a purple Taoist robe came out and greeted his fellow apprentice with a smile, but his eyes glanced at Lianyi beside him.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Wuyong, for coming out to greet me. This is the Taoist friend Lu Yao that I mentioned in the letter. She is also an orthodox member of the Xuan Sect. She happened to be traveling with me this time and came to visit Ziyun Palace on purpose."
"My name is Wuyong, nice to meet you, Daoist Fellow Luyao!"
"Nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Wuyong!"
Lianyi also politely returned the greeting.
"Come in!"
Wuyong was very curious about Fairy Lu Yao, so he led her in without wasting any words.
"Please forgive my ignorance, Luyao. I originally thought that Ziyun Palace must be built on a mountain top with overwhelming spiritual energy, but I didn't expect it to be hidden in this mundane world."
"The old site of Ziyun Palace is indeed in the Yunling Mountains. However, since the rise of Taoism, my master said that we cultivators cannot just stay away from the secular world. Entering the secular world is also a form of cultivation."
Wuyong explained with a smile.
"This way please!"
Lianyi nodded and followed, but did not agree with the other party.
Lianyi entered the three courtyards and finally arrived at the reception room of Ziyun Palace, where quite a few people gathered.
Wuyou saw the purple-robed woman at the top and immediately stepped forward to salute:
"Wuyou greets Uncle Zidai!"
Zidai, who was about thirty years old, nodded slightly and turned her gaze to Lianyi beside Wuyou.
"Is this young friend the Daoist friend Lu Yao you mentioned in your letter?"
"Exactly!"
Wuyou immediately introduced the two parties.
Lianyi took off her veil, looked around, and said with a smile:
"I have heard of the great name of Ziyun Palace for a long time. After seeing it today, I find that it is indeed worthy of its reputation. Luyao is polite!"
Zidai was a little surprised. Although she learned from Wuyou's letter that Fellow Daoist Luyao's cultivation was comparable to that of Senior Brother Ziyun, she just didn't expect that the other party was so young and beautiful.
"Daoist Luyao, you are too polite. These are just empty names. Please take a seat!"
Zidai said a few polite words.
Lian Yi sat down and went straight to the point:
"Fellow Daoist Zidai, I wonder if Wuyou has told the sect about what we encountered along the way?"
"Only part of it."
"Fellow Daoist Wuyou, please tell me in detail!"
Ripple said with a smile.
Wuyou nodded and started talking about the murder of the entire Li family in the capital. When he mentioned the missing cousin of the Li family, he glanced at Lianyi who was drinking tea.
"I am the cousin of the Li family, Wu Lianyi!"
Lianyi put down the teacup and said lightly.
"All the people in the Li family were killed by the backlash of the evil magic. Why did Daoist Fellow Luyao?"
"Why don't you save them?"
Lianyi took Wuyou's question, smiled faintly, and continued:
“Because I was at the center of that evil formation!
In their quest to seize the Wu family's wealth, they had no room for an orphan like me. This evil Taoist priest who came from nowhere actually wanted to take over my body.
Back then, I didn't have the Taoism I have now. I was fighting with the demon spirit named Tonghui in the evil formation and had no ability to take care of them at all.
If they had not appeared around the evil formation, they might have survived, but they were too greedy and wanted to know where the Wu family's wealth was as soon as possible, so they stayed there without missing a single one. As a result, they were drained of their vitality by the evil spirit and lost their lives in vain."
Lianyi spread her hands and explained.
After Wuyou heard this, he opened his eyes, then quickly restrained his expression. When he looked up again, he asked:
"When we were in Shuangqi Town, I saw that Daoist Brother Luyao's magic weapon to suppress evil spirits was a relic."
"Yes, what's the problem?"
