Why did the rebellious disciples of Tianwen Mountain appear in this organization?
Hua Shi concentrated on thinking about these things, and after a while he asked, "Have you informed Sect Leader Yan about this matter?"
Yan Lishan, the head of Tianwen Mountain, is the person with the most seniority in the entire spiritual world. Even Xuan Shuzhi and others have to address him as "senior" when they see him. However, since Hua Shi is now the leader of the evil world, he does not need to be addressed in this way.
Xuan Shuzhi shook his head and said, "I just came to tell you as soon as I found out about this. I haven't informed him yet."
Hua Shi said: "Then first..."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Wei suddenly said, "Then don't notify him yet. We will investigate this matter carefully later."
This was something neither Hua Shi nor Xuan Shuzhi had expected. They looked towards Fang Wei almost at the same time. When they noticed Fang Wei's hesitation, Hua Shi paused and asked tentatively, "Do you think there is something wrong in Tianwen Mountain?"
As soon as Hua Shi finished speaking, Xuan Shuzhi continued, "Or do you think the person with the problem is Yan Lishan?"
Hua Shi was stunned when he heard this, and quickly looked at Fang Wei to verify it. Fang Wei was stared at by the two of them, and shook his head and said, "I can't be sure, but what I can be sure of is that the previous leader of Hanxi Sect had very close contact with Yan Lishan, and I can be sure that Yan Lishan disappeared for a period of time before I fell into the abyss of disaster."
Xuan Shuzhi frowned, "Now that you mention it, I seem to have some impression. At the beginning, Yan Lishan said that something went wrong in his cultivation and that's why he needed to go into seclusion, right? I remember that he seemed to have spent a full two months in seclusion in the forbidden area of Tianwen Mountain. Even when the Spirit Path besieged the Evil Path to the Abyss of Disaster, he didn't show up."
Because in the past, the evil ways and the spiritual ways had little contact, and they would fight without mercy when they met, so Xuan Shuzhi did not pay attention to these things at that time. Only Fang Wei had a special identity and could see clearly what happened on both sides.
Listening to him talking about this now, the clues of those things that happened many years ago gradually become clear.
Hua Shi's face suddenly darkened: "We have to keep this matter secret until we find clues from that traitorous disciple. Weiwei is right. Even if Elder Yan is not in trouble, he may be related to this matter."
If it is true as Xuan Shuzhi said, that Yan Lishan was in seclusion practicing when Fang Wei fell, then was he really practicing?
What if he just used cultivation as an excuse to make everyone think that he was still in the forbidden area of Tianwen Mountain, but in fact he had left the sect to make other arrangements?
Hua Shi could analyze anything calmly, but when it came to things related to Fang Wei, he wished he could immediately resolve all matters that might be dangerous to Fang Wei, hide Fang Wei in his own space, and prevent him from going anywhere, keeping him away from all dangers immediately.
But Hua Shi also knew that this was impossible. Fang Wei was not someone who needed his protection. Even if he wanted to hide her, Fang Wei would not just hide in a safe corner and let everyone protect him. He had never been such a person.
Hua Shi remembered that he had met Yan Lishan several times. Yan Lishan had not left Tianwen Mountain for a long time over the years, and Hua Shi had only met him a few times, all because he had something to do in Tianwen Mountain and met him on the way.
Yan Lishan is undoubtedly the oldest man in the entire Xuanqing Continent. Before meeting him, Hua Shi had imagined him as an old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face. However, after actually meeting him, Hua Shi realized that all his previous guesses were wrong. Although Yan Lishan is very old, he looks like he is only middle-aged. Practitioners can always maintain their appearance in their prime, and they will remain like this until their death.
During those few meetings, Hua Shi and the other party talked about things related to spiritual and evil ways, or some trivial matters related to Tianwen Mountain. Hua Shi no longer had much impression of these words, and his memory of Yan Lishan only remained at the level of "an old man with good temper and easy to talk to."
Until now, after listening to what Fang Wei and Xuan Shuzhi said, he thought a lot about it, and his impression of Yan Lishan suddenly changed.
They discussed for a while in the Yunxiu Pen space. Hua Shiben planned to take Fang Wei out of the Yunxiu Pen space and go to investigate the matter of the traitorous disciple from Tianwen Mountain in person. However, he was quickly stopped by Xuan Shuzhi, who said that it was just an investigation and did not require so many people, let alone the two evil masters to take action personally. It would be enough to leave everything to him.
After saying this, Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan turned around and left the space of Yunxiu Pen.
Fang Wei and Hua Shi watched them disappear, and when they looked at each other, they knew that Xuan Shuzhi and the others said such things because of Fang Wei. In the past six months, Fang Wei had proposed to leave the Yunxiu Pen space to investigate things with them, or help with something. However, no matter whether it was Xuan Shuzhi, Yi Zhan or others, no one was willing to let Fang Wei do it. They just hoped that Fang Wei could stay here and practice without any worries.
And because they were worried that Fang Wei would get bored after being cooped up in the Yunxiu Pen space for too long, everyone would take turns to accompany him and give him a lot of strange things and all kinds of food, clothing and daily necessities.
Hua Shi saw it all, and although he would sometimes whisper to Fang Wei in a coquettish manner that he had lost a lot of opportunities to be alone with Fang Wei because of this, in fact, Hua Shi saw their consideration for Fang Wei.
He often wondered how deep the relationship between the seniors and Fang Wei was, and what Fang Wei had done in the past to make them follow Fang Wei so wholeheartedly and treat him so sincerely.
But then he would think it was natural, Fang Wei was such a generous and gentle person, he was so good that it was hard to let go. Even if such a perfect Fang Wei just stood there without saying a word, everyone would naturally want to treat him with all their heart, as just seeing the slightest smile from him would make people's hearts excited.
After Xuan Shuzhi and Yi Zhan left, the Yunxiu Pen space returned to its previous tranquility. Hua Shi turned around to look at Fang Wei, only to find that Fang Wei was also looking at him.
"Master is right. We just need to wait here. The most important thing for you now is to practice and recover as soon as possible." Hua Shi said with a smile, "I think Master and the others should think so too."
Fang Wei found his words funny: "When did you start using such a childish tone to talk to me?"
Hua Shi couldn't help laughing: "You look small now." He gestured at Fang Wei's current figure, thought for a moment and added: "Children are not as small as you."
Fang Wei: “…”
However, Hua Shi seemed to have thought of something and sighed softly. Fang Wei then asked, "What's wrong?"
Hua Shi lowered his head and picked up Fang Wei, rubbing his cheek against her body, and then said a little aggrievedly: "Although you are cute when you are small, I really hope you can get better soon."
The situation of being able to see but not being able to eat has made Hua Shi depressed for half a year, and under normal circumstances, he would have to wait many more years before he could see Fang Wei return to normal. Hua Shi originally thought that he had enough patience, but now it seems that he can no longer bear it.
Another two months passed, and Fang Wei's condition did not change much in a short period of time. Neither Fang Wei himself nor the power of the spirit creature Nine Sky White Dragon could be cultivated back in a short period of time. The biggest change in Fang Wei was probably that when he turned into a white dragon spirit creature, the scales on the dragon's tail were obviously much brighter, and the dragon horns were also much harder.
This minor change, which was better than nothing, made Hua Shi very happy. It seemed that to Hua Shi, any subtle change in Fang Wei was gratifying.
During these two months, Xuan Shuzhi and Wen Zhong had come here frequently. Xuan Shuzhi had already made a rough investigation into the matter of the traitorous disciple, and later told Fang Wei and Hua Shi about it. The man who was caught was indeed a disciple of Tianwen Mountain, but he was expelled from Tianwen Mountain because he broke the precepts and stole the secret books in the sect.
After being expelled from Tianwen Mountain, the man wandered around the Xuanqing Continent, and finally joined the organization that sold spiritual objects and began to work for it.
When Xuan Shuzhi talked about these things, there was no expression on his face and he spoke very calmly. It was obvious that he did not take the man's "confession" as the truth. After subsequent investigation, they found that things were indeed not that simple.
Because they soon discovered through records that the number of people who were expelled from Tianwen Mountain for making mistakes in those years was obviously much more than in previous years.
In addition to the disciple who was expelled from the sect for stealing the secret book, there were also disciples who were expelled from the sect for accidentally injuring ordinary people, those who were expelled from the sect for inappropriate words, and even those who thought they were not suitable to stay in Tianwen Mountain and so left the mountain gate on their own initiative.
It is normal for disciples to leave some sects. Even Hua Shi, who is in Xuanling Pavilion, often sees disciples leaving for various reasons.
However, this kind of thing happened so frequently, and hundreds of disciples left within a few years. It still seemed too much of a coincidence.
After hearing Xuan Shuzhi's story, Hua Shi and Fang Wei both expressed doubts about the matter, and Xuan Shuzhi also had doubts when he told them about it.
Until now, Xuan Shuzhi came to the Yunxiu Pen space again and threw a few beads in front of Hua Shi and Fang Wei.
"What is this?" Hua Shi picked up the bead and injected spiritual power into it. Soon, he saw a picture emerging inside the bead, and the picture clearly showed the appearance of a human.
He looked at several beads in succession. Each bead contained a person and their life stories were recorded.
Hua Shi stared at them for a long while, his eyes wide open without saying a word, while Fang Wei, who was sitting on his shoulder, was much calmer than him and only said, "These people are now members of the spiritual object trafficking organization, and they were all disciples of Tianwen Mountain a long time ago."
Xuan Shuzhi looked at Fang Wei and nodded, "That's right."
Things were becoming clear, and now they just had to confirm it.
The group of disciples from Tianwen Mountain who were expelled from the sect back then might not have been truly expelled from the sect.
Instead, someone deliberately used this method to make them leave the sect, and then enter the organization hidden in the dark with legitimate reasons.
