Chapter 487 Nothing Gained
Jiang Lisheng naturally couldn't go out on his own initiative unless he found her.
Unfortunately, even if Qi Baicheng came here directly and stood in front of the tombstone, he couldn't find her.
Jiang Lisheng didn't think she had this ability. After all, Wen Subai and Feng Sichen of the Hehuan Sect had discovered her before. Even though her spirit palace had become stronger after the thunder tribulation, she couldn't escape the spiritual power search of the master. She thought it must be this strong wind that had the ability to hide her through this tombstone.
Sure enough, Qi Baicheng searched for a while and still found nothing.
But he did not leave this time. Instead, he sent a message to Qin Fengxing, "Master, there is movement in the tomb."
Qin Fengxing quickly replied, "There has been no movement in the tomb for many years, how come there is movement all of a sudden? What kind of movement?"
"There is a fluctuation of spiritual power."
Qin Fengxing asked: "Why?"
"I don't know. I searched again and again and didn't find anything wrong."
Qin Fengxing asked again: "Did you sense any movement in the tomb? Or did you see the fluctuation of the tomb's spiritual power with your own eyes?"
"I sensed it." Qi Baicheng recounted what happened. "I sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy, and the source was the tomb. But when I arrived, it was very quiet, without even a trace of wind. I suspected that I had sensed it wrong, but I had this feeling again and again, so something was wrong."
Qin Fengxing was also puzzled. "I can't go back to the sect right now. Uncle Master, please ask Qinglan to go over and take a look."
He paused for a moment and said, "You can also call me Junior Brother Yu."
"This is our Kunlun's tomb. Why are you calling Yu Wuchen?" Qi Baicheng was angry. "What's going on between you and Yu Wuchen? Why do you trust him so much?"
Qin Fengxing was helpless, "Uncle Master, Junior Brother Yu is just a little bit harsh and unpleasant, but his temper has been like this since he was young, please bear with him. Let's not talk about the friendship between our two sects in the past, and my friendship with him. Let's just say that now his disciple and our Qinglan have made an engagement. From now on, although we Kunlun and Qingxu are not one, we are also in a relationship of mutual support."
"To make a marriage contract, you need a marriage certificate and marriage contract. Do they have it now?" Qi Baicheng asked.
"Not yet, but..."
"Is it because the little girl hasn't reached the Golden Core stage yet and can't be engaged?" Qi Baicheng snorted, "If she doesn't reach the Golden Core stage in her lifetime, the marriage contract will never be concluded? Qinglan is already in the late Out-of-Body stage, how can she still be in the Foundation Establishment stage? As a master, you not only can't control them, but you also indulge them. How much better can the disciples taught by Yu Wuchen be than him?"
Qin Fengxing was helpless, "Uncle Master, don't look down on that little girl just because you have a grudge against Junior Brother Yu. She is very powerful. Although she is at the foundation-building stage, her cultivation is..."
"Alright, you are the sect leader, I can't control you." Qi Baicheng was not happy to listen anymore, "I'll call Qinglan, and forget about Yu Wuchen."
Qi Baicheng cut off the communication card and sent a message to Wei Qinglan, "Qinglan, come to the forbidden tomb."
Wei Qinglan and Zhou Zhenyan investigated for a whole day and half a night and found out that a female outer disciple named Tang Siwei had been to the medicine field. The reason was to deliver an umbrella to Ying Zongyu's apprentice Si Shao. The woman had returned from outside a month ago and was injured. It snowed heavily in Kunlun that day, and Si Shao borrowed an umbrella from her because she was injured. The woman came to return it yesterday without delay. She said a few words, returned the umbrella and left.
But today, the woman disappeared.
Wei Qinglan checked the umbrella, but found nothing on it, and there was nothing unusual on Si Shao either. He and Zhou Zhenyan guessed that the problem should be with the outer disciple named Tang Siwei. However, when they sent people to look for her, Tang Siwei was nowhere to be found. They also checked the people around her, but no one had seen this woman, and this woman definitely had never left the mountain gate.
This is worthy of attention. How could a person disappear out of thin air while inside the mountain gate?
Wei Qinglan personally led people to check everyone in Kunlun, including every peak and hall. Except for the forbidden areas, no place was left out, but still no trace was found.
He thought of Hua Shifang who disappeared out of thin air in Qingxu's Secret Scroll Pavilion.
He asked Si Shao, "There should be a lot of things to do in the medical hall, why is Senior Brother Si guarding outside the medicine field?"
Si Shao was also panicking, feeling that he had ruined things, and hurriedly said, "The medicine field was originally under the charge of the Medical Hall. Master's cultivation was completely wasted, and after the accident, I have been taking care of the medicine field. Now I heard from Uncle Zhou that the Sect Master has a secret order to guard the medicine field. I am worried, so I entrusted the Medical Hall to two brothers for help, and came to guard the medicine field myself. This matter was decided after discussing it with Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Zhenyan also nodded, "Yes, the sect master gave a secret order, and I thought, who can be more appropriate than nephew Si from the medical hall? So I arranged for nephew Si to guard it personally, and I stayed in the medicine field almost every day. Who knew that even so, someone still took advantage of the loophole. That outer disciple only returned the umbrella outside the medicine field and said a few words, and did nothing else. How could he destroy those dozen kinds of spiritual plants? If he had this ability, how could he be just an outer disciple? Moreover, if someone else planted a spy in my Kunlun, he shouldn't have only destroyed these dozen kinds of spiritual plants, right? Since he has this ability, why not destroy them all at once? Wouldn't it be safer? It will make my Kunlun suffer greater losses?"
Wei Qinglan nodded, "Continue to investigate this matter."
He rubbed his eyebrows, worried about Jiang Lisheng, and planned to go back to check on her. After all, he had not been back for a night and half a day, and he didn't know what she had been doing during this time. It was already midnight, and according to her habit of working from sunrise to sunset, she should have fallen asleep.
Zhou Zhenyan nodded, "Yes, we have to continue investigating, but should we report this to the Sect Master?"
Wei Qinglan nodded, "Uncle, please tell my master! I will go back to see Junior Sister Jiang."
Zhou Zhenyan waved his hand, "Okay, then go ahead!"
It was rare for Wei Qinglan to fly a sword, so he hurried back. Halfway through, he received a message from Qi Baicheng, asking him to go to the forbidden tomb. He had no choice but to change his route and go to the forbidden area first.
He arrived very quickly, and after reaching the tomb, he greeted Qi Baicheng, "Master Uncle Qi."
Qi Baicheng nodded. "The spiritual power of the tomb fluctuated several times today, but after I arrived, there was no trace of it. It's very strange. So I called you to take a look. What's going on?"
When Jiang Lisheng saw Wei Qinglan, tears almost burst out of her eyes. However, with Qi Baicheng there, she didn't dare to rush out. Otherwise, wouldn't all her trouble be in vain and she would be exposed?
Wei Qinglan nodded upon hearing this, and walked around the tomb. After a circle, he did not find anything unusual, and shook his head at Qi Baicheng, "Master Uncle Qi, there is nothing unusual, did you make a mistake?"
"I can't be wrong." Qi Baicheng shook his head.
Wei Qinglan guessed, "Then it could be the same as Xuantian Realm? For a period of time, Xuantian Realm was also shaken violently because the big monster in the Monster Suppression Tower was restless."
"And here..." He glanced at the rows of tombstones, "Why not guard it for a few days and see."
