Chapter 115: Found the person. After fighting for several rounds, the two finally...
After fighting for several rounds, the two men finally saw each other's faces clearly and breathed a sigh of relief.
He used a formation to take the other three away from the island. Two hours later, the disciple entered the island but did not see any corpses. He thought they had been destroyed and did not report it.
After leaving the isolated island, Bei Liyuan and Li Youyang were about to leave, but three disciples followed them. They frowned and asked, "Why are you following us?"
"We...we"
Li Youyang sighed, "If you want to stay alive, hide your identity and don't mention this to anyone. As for what it is, it's not something that small people like us can control."
The three of them nodded repeatedly.
Li Youyang: "Then let's say goodbye here."
Afterwards, he flew away with Bei Liyuan on his sword. Although the other three wanted to chase him, they couldn't catch up at all.
…
Back at the inn, the two men put away their illusions. Bei Liyuan crossed his arms and said, "I can't believe such a large sect would resort to such evil techniques, using living people to create puppets. How cruel!"
Li Youyang's eyes darkened. "Those two blood puppets haven't been under control for long. If my guess is correct, something must have happened when Master and the others received the message and returned to the sect."
Bei Liyuan's eyes darkened: "How about trying it at night?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "Even Master and the others could be tricked. There must be some very powerful masters within Tianyi Sect. If you and I break in, there's no guarantee we won't be discovered. If we get caught, there's no turning back. We must find a legitimate reason to enter."
The two of them thought about it all day but couldn't come up with a suitable solution. Bei Liyuan stretched and said, "I can't think of a solution even if I stay here. Why don't I go out for a walk and change my mind?"
"Okay."
Not long after leaving the inn, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of a treasure shop. Out of curiosity, the two of them walked over and saw people arguing in the shop.
"Since you've made the bet, you should accept the loss."
"I'm not refusing to pay, but I don't have that many spirit stones on me. Please wait a moment, I will definitely get them."
"I've heard you say this many times, sir, but how many people will actually come back? You've made a lot of money today. If you don't come back, I can't bear the responsibility."
Li Youyang looked at the young man in blue with a darkening expression. This attire belonged to a disciple of the Tianyi Sect. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Why are you being so aggressive, sir? Judging from his demeanor, he must be a man of integrity. I will cover whatever he loses."
"Twenty million spirit stones."
Li Youyang looked at Bei Liyuan, and Bei Liyuan took out 20 million spirit stones and gave them to the man.
The young man in blue hurriedly thanked the two men: "My name is Lan Wenxuan. Thank you two fellow Taoists for helping me out. Please wait here for a moment. I will go get the spirit stones and return them to you."
"Propaganda?"
Lan Wenxuan raised his eyes and said hurriedly, "I didn't expect to meet Brother Yue here. Brother Yue, could you lend me 20 million spirit stones? I'll return them to you later. I left in such a hurry today that I didn't bring enough."
Yue Xiuping walked over, waving a folding fan. The monks accompanying him took out spirit stones and gave them to Lan Wenxuan: "Young Master Lan."
Lan Wenxuan accepted it and thanked him, then gave it to Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan: "I don't know your names yet."
Bei Liyuan: "My name is Bei Liyuan, and this is my Taoist companion Li Youyang."
Lan Wenxuan: "I've made a note of this. If you need me in the future, you can come to the Tianshen Sect to find me."
Tianshen Sect, Li Youyang was stunned for a moment, but his clothes shouldn’t be those of a disciple of Tianyi Sect, or is it that the clothes of the disciples of the Immortal Sect are the same, just in different colors.
"Brother Yue, I will definitely go to Tianyi Sect to return your spirit stone someday. I have something else to do today, so I'll leave first."
Yue Xiuping nodded and said "OK" in a gentle voice.
Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan turned around and prepared to leave. Yue Xiuping looked at their backs as they left and raised the corners of his lips.
"Brother, do you need us to bring these two people back to Tianyi Sect?"
Yue Xiuping curled his lips and said, "No rush, just send someone to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't run away."
"yes."
The two of them hadn't walked a few steps from the treasure shop when they realized someone was following them. They deliberately led the person to a deserted street and captured him. "Who told you to follow us?"
The man hurriedly said, "Tianyi City has been in turmoil lately. My senior brother saw that you two were new here and was worried that you might be in danger, so he sent me to protect you secretly."
Bei Liyuan said coldly: "Are you a disciple of the Tianshen Sect?"
The man shook his head: "I am a disciple of Tianyi Sect."
"Tianyi Sect? It's him. Go back and tell your senior brother that the two of us are wandering cultivators who have come here. We will leave in a few days and do not need anyone's protection. If we find anyone following us again, we will show no mercy."
The man bowed and flew away on his sword.
Bei Liyuan curled his lips: "We didn't look for him, but he came to us on his own initiative, which saved us a lot of trouble."
Li Youyang: "Let's go back to the inn."
The next morning, Yue Xiuping arrived bearing gifts. "You two, I was inconsiderate about what happened yesterday. I hope you won't despise this small token of my appreciation."
Li Youyang said coldly, "No reward without merit, and we don't take yesterday's incident to heart."
Yue Xiuping casually placed the gift on the table and said, "I heard from my junior fellow that you two are traveling here. There have been many cases of cultivators disappearing in Tianyi City recently, especially handsome cultivators. Why don't you come with me to stay in Tianyi Sect for a few days?"
Li Youyang frowned: "No need."
Yue Xiuping smiled and said, "I am sorry for being so presumptuous. I..."
Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang: "I think what this fellow Daoist said is not false, otherwise..."
Yue Xiuping raised the corners of his lips.
"How about we leave now?"
"Okay, clean up."
Yue Xiuping's face darkened instantly. No prey he valued could escape. He smiled and said, "You two don't have to be so anxious..."
Bei Liyuan has already started packing his things: "Our lives are at stake, how can we not be anxious?"
Bei Liyuan packed up quickly: "Master, let's go check out."
Li Youyang nodded. Before Yue Xiuping could react, the two of them had already gone downstairs and checked out with the store owner.
Yue Xiuping watched the two people leave, silently clenched his fists, drew a sound transmission note with his fingertips, and took action.
When Li Youyang and the other two were checking out, two rogues came up to them and asked, "Where are you going, you two beauties, in such a hurry?"
Bei Liyuan stepped forward to protect Li Youyang: "We don't know you two. If you don't want to die, retreat immediately."
Scoundrel A smiled slyly and said, "Look, this little beauty is quite fierce. I like her. This one is mine and that one is yours."
Scoundrel B stared at Li Youyang and said, "What a coincidence! I like gentle and kind people. I can't enjoy this kind of fierce and aggressive people. You two, it's your blessing that I like you. Come with me and avoid any physical pain."
Yue Xiuping curled his lips and was about to go downstairs to rescue the beautiful girl. After two screams, the two scoundrels fell to their knees with heavy injuries. Lan Wenxuan walked over and glared at the scoundrels with cold eyes: "Get lost!"
After the two scoundrels left, Lan Wenxuan looked at them and asked, "Are you two okay?"
Bei Liyuan shook his head: "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."
Lan Wenxuan continued, "These two are notorious scoundrels in Tianyi City. They'll kidnap any good-looking cultivator they see. They've been beaten up a lot before, and recently had their legs broken, so they've been quiet for a while. Now they haven't changed their ways. Someone should beat them to death to stop them from causing trouble."
The boss handed over the spirit stones: "Here are your deposits, please keep them."
Li Youyang took it and thanked him.
Seeing this, Lan Wenxuan couldn't help but ask, "Are you two leaving?"
Bei Liyuan nodded: "Just now, Fellow Daoist Yue said that Tianyi City is not peaceful. There are always handsome monks disappearing. My master and I are a little worried and decided to travel elsewhere."
Lan Wenxuan understood: "I see. If you two don't mind, you can stay at Tianshen Sect for a few days during your travels. It can be regarded as repaying the kindness you two showed me yesterday."
"this……"
Lan Wenxuan added, "If you two are willing to be my friend, then don't refuse."
Bei Liyuan hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Lan."
Yue Xiuping's eyes turned slightly cold, just one step away.
"If you two have nothing to do, could you please come with me to the Treasure Pavilion? I had my eye on a hairpin yesterday, but I lost all my spirit stones and still couldn't win it. Today, I got some spirit stones and wanted to try again."
…
Arriving at the Treasure Pavilion, the owner said with a smile, "You are here again, are you still here for that hairpin?"
"yes."
"That hairpin has been won by that young man."
Lan Wenxuan looked in the direction of his boss's finger, his eyes darkening. "Ying Hongxuan, the new leader of Tianyi Sect, is in trouble now. But those are my mother's relics, and I must get them back no matter what."
After he finished speaking, he walked to Ying Hongxuan's side and bowed, "I am willing to pay double the spirit stones. Master Ying, can you give me this hairpin?"
Ying Hongxuan stroked the hairpin with his fingertips: "Young Master Lan, do you think I'm short of spirit stones?"
"That... that's definitely not what I meant. It's just that this hairpin has a different meaning to me, so I made a slip of the tongue. I hope Sect Master Ying won't blame me."
Ying Hongxuan curled his lips and said, "It's not impossible for Young Master Lan to have this hairpin. Just make a bet with me. If you win, I'll give it to you."
Lan Wenxuan hurriedly said: "Thank you..."
Ying Hongxuan interrupted: "Young Master Lan, don't thank me too soon. I haven't mentioned the bet yet."
Lan Wenxuan raised his eyes and said, "Master Ying, please speak."
Ying Hongxuan said nonchalantly, "I heard that Young Master Lan has a divine pet. I wonder if Young Master Lan is willing to use it as a bet?"
Lan Wenxuan clenched his fist silently: "Okay."
"Great! Boss."
The boss hurriedly presented the dice, and Ying Hongxuan took it: "Let's decide the winner in one round, comparing the big and small, how about it?"
Lan Wenxuan nodded: "Okay."
Ying Hongxuan handed the dice cup to Lan Wenxuan: "Young Master Lan, please go first."
Lan Wenxuan took it, clenched his fist silently, and was determined to win. He shook it vigorously several times before putting it down. To be fair, the boss was responsible for opening the cup.
Lan Wenxuan watched nervously, and in the end it turned out to be three ones, the smallest number.
Ying Hongxuan curled his lips: "Young Master Lan is so accommodating, I feel embarrassed to win."
Lan Wenxuan slumped in his chair, feeling frustrated. "Can we have another bet?"
Li Youyang patted Lan Wenxuan's shoulder gently and said, "Even if we want to open another one, we have to wait until the result of this game comes out."
Lan Wenxuan lowered his head: "It's already the smallest point, there's no chance."
Li Youyang said coldly, "Even if you lose, you should lose with a clear conscience. Sect Master Ying, please."
Ying Hongxuan curled the corners of his lips, took the dice cup, shook it casually and put it on the table. It was still the boss who opened it, but he was dumbfounded after opening it. Only one of the three dice was left and it was a dot, and the other two had been broken into powder.
Lan Wenxuan was stunned: "What... is going on?"
The boss knelt down hurriedly: "Master Ying, this has nothing to do with me. I clearly..."
Ying Hongxuan interrupted and said softly, "I accept the bet and admit defeat. This hairpin belongs to Young Master Lan."
As he handed over the hairpin, Lan Wenxuan was about to reach out, but Li Youyang was one step faster and almost snatched the hairpin away.
Ying Hongxuan frowned invisibly. He had originally planned to destroy the hairpin when Lan Wenxuan received it, but his plan was ruined twice in a row. Killing intent flashed in his eyes. He looked at Li Youyang and smiled, "Why are you so anxious, fellow Daoist? It's not like I won't give it to Young Master Lan."
Li Youyang said coldly, "I'm a little curious about what's so special about this hairpin."
Ying Hongxuan said softly, "I see. But if you want to live longer, it's better to be less curious. Would you mind telling me your name, fellow Daoist?"
"Li Youyang."
Ying Hongxuan smiled and said softly, "I've made a note of this. If you have time someday, Fellow Daoist Li can come to Tianyi Sect as a guest. I will personally receive you."
After saying that, he took his men away.
Li Youyang then gave the hairpin to Lan Wenxuan. Lan Wenxuan was not stupid, so he naturally realized that what had just happened was not an accident, but Li Youyang had helped him, so he thanked him repeatedly.
After Li Youyang and others left, Yue Xiuping walked upstairs with a smile on his lips. Ying Hongxuan was not a good guy. He even dared to provoke him. These two people might not live for a few days. It was a pity for their good looks. If they were in bed, they would definitely be extremely charming.
When they arrived at Tianshen Sect, Lan Wenxuan had just arranged for two people when the head of the Discipline Hall, Zhen Jian, came personally with his disciples to pick them up.
Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan did not argue. Just as they were about to leave with Zhen Jian, Lan Wenxuan stopped them coldly: "How dare you! They are my guests and you cannot touch them. Why don't you leave?"
Zhen Jian bowed and sneered, "We are following the orders of the eldest brother. If the young master has any dissatisfaction, he can ask the eldest brother."
Lan Wenxuan clenched his fists. Although he was the young master, he was still no match for his father's first disciple Lan Zhao.
"Big Brother is still waiting in the main hall. If Young Master has nothing else to do, we will take these two people there."
Without waiting for Lan Wenxuan's response, he led Li Youyang and the others away. "A frivolous playboy who is not worthy of being on the stage calls him Young Master and really thinks he is the future Sect Master. If it weren't for the senior brother specifically asking him to show some respect, who would have the time to bother with him?"
Lan Wenxuan clenched his fist silently: "Wait a moment, I'll go with you."
Zhen Jian didn't bother to pay any attention.
When they arrived at the main hall, Lan Zhao sat in the main seat, with Ying Hongxuan sitting to his right.
"Are you referring to these two, Sect Master Ying?"
Ying Hongxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Li Youyang nonchalantly: "It's them."
Lan Zhao said coldly: "Execute."
Lan Wenxuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Wait, Senior Brother, they are my guests. If you touch them, you must give me an explanation."
Lan Zhao frowned: "Wenxuan, stop messing around, step back."
Lan Wenxuan insisted on standing in front of the two people and said, "What mistakes have they made? They should be executed."
Lan Zhao sighed helplessly, "Wenxuan, I'll explain this to you later. Please leave first."
Lan Wenxuan clenched his fists: "Big Brother, they are my friends."
Lan Zhao frowned. "Friends? You've only met them a few times, and you think they're your friends just because of a hairpin. Do you know their background? What's their purpose in approaching you?"
Lan Wenxuan said solemnly, "I don't know, but I know they are good people. I was the one who dragged them to the Tianshen Sect..."
Li Youyang rubbed his brows. He felt a real headache from the noise. He interrupted coldly, "We two traveled here and immediately hit it off with Fellow Daoist Lan. He invited us to stay in Tianshen Sect for a few days. We were brought here for no apparent reason. If you want to punish us, you should first explain what crime we have committed."
Lan Zhao said solemnly, "Are you responsible for the recent disappearances of monks at night in Tianyi City?"
Bei Liyuan laughed: "Let's not talk about the fact that we just entered Tianyi City. Why would we capture monks?"
Ying Hongxuan said coldly: "Why did you capture the monks? I have to ask you. I found the two of you in the memory of a rescued monk."
After saying this, he flicked his sword finger slightly, and a phantom appeared in the void. A wounded monk knelt before Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan, begging them to spare his life. "How do you two want to explain?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "Where is that monk? Can he confront us face to face?"
Ying Hongxuan looked at the disciple standing beside him. Not long after that disciple withdrew, he supported a monk and walked up to the main hall. When the monk saw Li Youyang and the others, he screamed, "Don't... don't kill me!"
Li Youyang's sword finger moved invisibly, and a spiritual breath quietly penetrated into the body of the cultivator. This person was stained with the bloody evil aura seen on the isolated island that day. In comparison, it was more intense but not as murderous.
Ying Hongxuan said in a deep voice: "Do you two have anything else to say?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "We will never admit to anything we haven't done."
"It's not up to you whether you agree or not." Ying Hongxuan stood up and said, "Brother Lan, with Lan Wenxuan here, I'm afraid the Tianshen Sect won't be able to deal with these two people. To save you from being embarrassed, I'm taking them back to the Tianyi Sect."
Lan Wenxuan stood in front of the two of them and said, "As long as I'm here today, no one can take them away."
Ying Hongxuan curled his lips: "Oh? Is the Tianshen Sect going to protect the devil who harmed the monks?"
Lan Zhao's sword moved slightly, and Lan Wenxuan was shocked back. "Master Ying, please take them away, but I have one request. Do not take their lives until they confess their guilt."
Ying Hongxuan smiled and said, "Of course. Our Tianyi Sect is not a place where innocent people are killed."
…
After Li Youyang and the others were taken away, Lan Zhao lifted the restrictions on Lan Wenxuan. "You only know that he is your friend, but do you know what kind of predicament the Tianshen Sect is facing now? The Black and White Protectors have gone out to search for the Fifth Junior Brother and have no news. The Sect Master is seriously injured. In the eyes of outsiders, the Tianshen Sect is still the second largest immortal sect, but don't you know what kind of situation the Tianshen Sect is in now? If they are accused of harboring the evil leader at this time, do you know what the Tianshen Sect will face! Wenxuan, you are the young master of the Tianshen Sect, and it is time for you to consider the Tianshen Sect."
Lan Wenxuan clenched his fists silently: "But they are innocent. You clearly know they are innocent."
"Remember, there is no innocence in this world. Although Ying Hongxuan is ruthless, he would never kill anyone without reason. They must have offended him."
"Yes, they did offend Sect Master Ying, but they did it for me. I can't watch them die like this. I..."
Lan Zhao closed his eyes, and with a slight movement of his sword, Lan Wenxuan lost consciousness. "Take good care of the young master. Don't let him leave the room for the time being."
Zhen Jian stepped forward with a bow, "Big Brother, we can't resist someone like Lan Wenxuan..."
Lan Zhao looked over with cold eyes: "Master, your kindness to me is as great as a mountain. Please don't say such things again."
Zhen Jian took Lan Wenxuan away.
…
After returning to Tianyi Sect, Ying Hongxuan personally sent the two of them to the secret prison.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I never thought we'd meet again so soon. However, this time there were some unexpected events. If Fellow Daoist Li is willing to personally destroy the hairpin, I might consider sparing your life."
Li Youyang said coldly, "Did you cause those cultivators to disappear?"
Ying Hongxuan said lazily, "I don't practice the Hundred Flowers Dao, so why would I capture them? But Fellow Daoist Li should have seen this man before. He's a good friend of Lan Wenxuan's, Yue Xiuping, who's just as good as him. Does Fellow Daoist Li have anything else he'd like to ask?"
"No."
"Then I will personally see you off."
Ying Hongxuan gently twisted a pillar next to the cell, and the floor beneath their feet instantly disappeared. A moment after they fell, everything returned to its original position. "Goodbye, both of you."
…
Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan fell for a full quarter of an hour before landing. The surroundings were pitch black, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. "What the hell is this place?"
Li Youyang's sword finger moved slightly, and a formation illuminated the entire space.
“Eh~”
Bei Liyuan took Li Youyang with him on his sword in the air with disdain, only to see that the ground below was already covered with skeletons. "Some new, some old, all human bones. What on earth is this Tianyi Sect raising here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two disheveled men rushed towards them like crazy. The two men dodged hurriedly. After four or five rounds, they could see each other's faces clearly. It turned out to be Yue Baiyi and Zhou Yi.
Bei Liyuan crossed his arms: "It's really these two, it's a bit troublesome!"
Li Youyang said coldly, "Although the evil spirit is strong, the murderous aura is not strong. It should be OK. Do you have the Qingxin Bell with you?"
Bei Liyuan searched for it and said, "I only brought one."
Li Youyang threw the Invincible Diamond Shield to Bei Liyuan: "You are responsible for entanglement of Senior Yue Baiyi, and give me the Qingxin Bell."
After getting the Qingxin Bell, Li Youyang moved closer to Zhou Yi and occasionally shook the bell to test Zhou Yi's reaction. After three or five times, he breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't too serious. "Half an hour."
"no problem."
Li Youyang quickly moved his sword to set up the formation, while Bei Liyuan was responsible for distracting the two. Half an hour later, Li Youyang said coldly, "It's done."
Bei Liyuan flashed towards the direction of the formation, and the two men chased after him. Li Youyang took the opportunity to open the formation, but Zhou Yi reacted too quickly and failed to catch him. He caught Yue Baiyi instead. Let Yue Baiyi be Yue Baiyi.
Li Youyang officially activated all the formations and sent out the Qingxin Bell at the same time. Yue Baiyi began to roar in pain.
Bei Liyuan was battling Zhou Yi while paying attention to the changes here: "Master, why do I feel that this scene is a bit familiar? It's just that I was a rookie at that time and could only hide in the distance."
Li Youyang frowned: "Concentrate on fighting the enemy, why are you talking so much nonsense."
Bei Liyuan said "oh".
After a day and a night, Yue Baiyi finally stopped screaming and seemed to be somewhat lucid. Li Youyang moved his sword again, and several clearing mind formations instantly enveloped Yue Baiyi. The bloody aura around him immediately dissipated. "Senior, try to redirect your spiritual energy and erase the rune on your forehead."
Even if Li Youyang didn't mention it, Yue Baiyi had already done it. It took another five hours before the rune on Yue Baiyi's forehead was completely erased. The moment he regained clarity, he quickly moved and cooperated with Bei Liyuan to control Zhou Yi. Li Youyang then woke Zhou Yi up using the same method.
