East China Sea, Ziqi Island.

There are many green banana trees planted on the white sand beach. Among them, three banana trees are gathered together. The huge banana leaves naturally form a cover, forming a very simple pavilion.

The pavilion is transparent on all sides, with a stone table and stone benches in the middle, and facing the blue sea in front, with a wide view.

It is midsummer, the sun is blazing, the sky is clear and blue, the sea is azure, clouds are curling between the sea and the sky, birds are flying back and forth...the sea is vast and the sky is high.

The cool breeze under the banana trees sweeps away the summer heat. Sitting in the pavilion and looking at the sea and sky will naturally open your heart.

However, the people sitting in the pavilion at this moment all had solemn expressions.

The yellow-robed monk Bao Yue, who was sitting opposite the main seat, said solemnly: "Daoyou Xuanming and I are old friends. I am very sad that Daoyou Xuanming met with an accident.

"I came to the East Sea this time to clarify Daoist Fellow Xuanming's affairs."

Baoyue has handsome features and a timeless temperament. Although his expression is solemn and serious, his voice is very soft, even a little bit feminine and round.

The androgynous voice matched Bao Yue's temperament very well, and it didn't make people feel that there was anything wrong with it. It seemed that he was supposed to be like this.

Bai Yue Tianjun, who was sitting next to Bao Yue, glanced at Bao Yue. She didn't like this handsome Buddhist who looked androgynous. As for Bao Yue saying that he and Xuan Ming were old friends, it was nonsense.

Bai Yue Tianjun knew Xuan Ming's character very well. He was gloomy, suspicious, and narrow-minded. How could such a person have any real friends?

She should be the one with whom Xuanming has the best relationship, but she is just an acquaintance and cannot even be called a friend.

If it wasn't for dealing with Gao Xian, she would never have joined forces with Xuan Ming.

To be frank, Baoyue said this just to find a reason to get involved.

Originally, it was not the turn of the Buddhists of the South Sea to ask about the affairs of the East Sea. However, Xuanming's death was strange, and Bai Yue was also worried, but she had no time to argue with Bao Yue about these details.

It was a good thing for her that Baoyue came forward to ask questions.

Shaoyang and Changqing who are present here should also think so.

Baiyue Tianjun's gaze fell on Hongyuan, who was sitting to the lower right of Dongji Tianjun. He had a calm and indifferent expression, as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with him.

Everyone in the pavilion knew that Hongyuan Tianjun's direct disciple had an extremely close relationship with Gao Xian. Hongyuan Tianjun also spoke for Gao Xian several times. Although he didn't say how good his relationship with Gao Xian was, at least he admired Gao Xian very much.

Lord Hongyuan has always been loyal and honest, so it is unlikely that he would help Gao Xian to kill Xuan Ming!

The problem is that Xuanming's death was too strange. To be honest, everyone couldn't help but have some doubts about Hongyuan Tianjun.

Even Dongji Tianjun may be involved.

Dongji Tianjun would not favor Gao Xian, but he might hate Xuanming, or he might think that killing Xuanming would be more beneficial to the East China Sea and Jiuzhou. This guy would really take action.

Dongji Tianjun has already passed through three tribulations and condensed the three flowers of essence, energy and spirit, which far surpasses Xuanming in cultivation. With Hongyuan, if these two work together, it is possible to kill Xuanming quickly.

Bai Yue Tianjun also knew that this guess was ridiculous. Although Penglai Society was a very loose organization, it had a history of dozens of calamities.

The seventh-level cultivators in the meeting all swore to help each other. Even if this oath had no binding force, there was still the Heavenly Lord in charge, and no matter how powerful the Eastern Heavenly Lord was, he would not act recklessly.

A seventh-rank Heavenly Monarch died just like that, and the most suspicious person was a sixth-rank cultivator named Gao Xian! This matter was too bizarre, and there was no reasonable explanation, so everyone was suspicious.

"Daoyou Baoyue is thoughtful."

Dongji Tianjun said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Xuanming has made great contributions to Penglai Society. He met with an accident. Everyone in Penglai Society is very shocked and very sorry.

"All of you will do your best to catch the murderer and comfort the soul of Taoist Xuanming..."

Bao Yue nodded repeatedly: "If there is anything I can do to help, I am willing to do my best."

"Okay, okay. If I really need you, I will speak up."

Dongji Tianjun said: "Don't worry, fellow Taoists, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. If I can't do it, I will ask the old man Tianzun to help, and I will always be able to give fellow Taoist Xuanming justice!"

This was a very serious statement, equivalent to a promise to everyone. No matter what the seventh-rank Heavenly Monarchs thought in their hearts, they had to nod in agreement on the surface.

The reason Baoyue came here was actually to get things cleared up, but after hearing what Dongji Tianjun said, he didn't ask any more questions, so he immediately stood up and said goodbye.

After Baoyue left, Changqing, Shaoyang and Baiyue also said goodbye one after another.

After leaving Ziqi Island, Shaoyang Tianjun took the initiative to find Bai Yue and asked, "Is this matter really related to Gao Xian?"

Bai Yue was silent for a moment and nodded vigorously: "It must be related to Gao Xian."

To enhance her persuasiveness, she recounted the story of Xuanming ambushing Gaoxian. She concluded by saying, "Since Xuanming and I separated on the deserted island, I have not heard from him since.

"It's only been more than a decade, and Xuanming has already had an accident!"

Shaoyang Tianjun nodded. The cause and effect relationship here was very clear. Anyone who saw it would know that this matter must be directly related to Gao Xian.

He hesitated and said, "I have long heard that Gao Xian is treacherous, vicious and unpredictable, but it is impossible for him to kill Xuan Ming. There must be help behind this.

"Gao Xian is only a level 6 person, who would risk helping him kill Xuan Ming?"

"Maybe it's the Jiuzhou Ding." Bai Yue said unhappily.

"How is that possible?" Shaoyang Tianjun shook his head. Bai Yue's words were too unreasonable.

It was a well-known fact that the Jiuzhou Ding could not attack human cultivators. Moreover, the power of the Jiuzhou Ding was restricted by the Jiuzhou Law Domain, so it was impossible for it to come to the East China Sea to kill Xuanming.

Bai Yue Tianjun sighed: "There is no need to guess. In a few years, when Gao Xian leaves his name in the Golden Book of Creation, everything will be clear."

"As everyone knows, Gao Xian is the most greedy. If he can reach the seventh level, it will be a real threat to us." Shaoyang Tianjun couldn't help but frown. His golden talisman seed of creation corresponds to the fire aura among the five elements.

Judging from Gao Xian's style, if he were to advance to the seventh level, he would certainly plunder other people's golden talisman seeds to satisfy his cultivation of the Great Five Elements Divine Light.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

“In my opinion, we should kill Gao Xian before he advances to the seventh level to eliminate this trouble forever!” Bai Yue Tianjun’s bright eyes revealed murderous intent, and his tone was also cold.

"Gao Xian has retreated to the Nine Continents, what can we do?"

Shaoyang Tianjun sighed again. It was all his untalented junior brother who caused all the trouble. Could this guy have done it on purpose?

Now it is useless to say anything. Gao Xian has become a powerful figure with the support of the Jiuzhou Law Realm. Not to mention them, even Tianzun can't do anything to him.

"This man is greedy. If you put your heart into it, there will always be a chance to fish him out."

Bai Yue Tianjun said sternly: "Gao Xian was once a disciple of Xuan Yang. If Xuan Yang can help, this matter will be easier."

Shaoyang Tianjun shook his head: "Absolutely impossible. Xuanyang hates me to the core, how could he possibly help me..."

On Ziqi Island, everyone else left, only Hongyuan stayed. He and Dongji had a deep friendship, and on the other hand, Dongji specifically asked him to stay.

"Fellow Daoist, do you think Gao Xian was the one who did this?" Dongji Tianjun asked directly.

Hongyuan Tianjun had a difficult expression on his gaunt face: "How can I know this?"

He turned and smiled bitterly: "Even if my disciple has a good relationship with Gao Xian, how could Gao Xian tell outsiders about such a big thing!"

Dongji Tianjun nodded and said, "I am not doubting you, but this matter is too strange, Shaoyang, Changqing, and Baiyue are all full of doubts.

"The world is changing suddenly, and people are already in a state of panic. If something like this happens, the Penglai Society will fall apart if things go wrong."

"With Tianzun in charge, there will be no chaos." Hongyuan Tianjun knew that Dongji said this on purpose, but he didn't want to agree with Dongji.

Even if Gao Xian did it, it was a personal grudge between him and Xuan Ming. Why should they be so concerned and nervous?

When Dongji Tianjun saw Hongyuan's calm and composed look, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this friend was too honest and loyal.

Don't you think that Gao Xian, a sixth-level person, actually has the means to kill a seventh-level person? This means that he is a threat to many seventh-level people.

Moreover, Gao Xian was practicing the Great Five Elements Divine Light and the Daluo Transformation Nerve. This guy would not only keep an eye on Shaoyang, Changqing and the others, but he must also be very interested in the Daluo Hunyuan Sutra in his hand.

When Gao Xianzhen advances to the seventh rank, everyone in Penglai will be in danger. This is not because many Heavenly Monarchs are cautious, but because there is a fundamental conflict of interest between the two sides.

Dongji Tianjun did not expect to get anything out of Hongyuan Tianjun. He knew this old friend very well, and no matter what, Hongyuan would never get involved in such matters.

He said sternly: "This matter is of great importance. I will go to Jiuzhou to find Gao Xian to ask for clarification!"

He looked at Hongyuan Tianjun: "Do you want to come with me?"

Hongyuan Tianjun was a little surprised. Why did Dongji Tianjun want to punish Gao Xian so seriously? The problem was that Gao Xian was not a disciple of Daluo Sect. Although Dongji Tianjun had a high status, he could not control Gao Xian.

Going to Jiuzhou to question Gao Xian in such a high-profile manner is inappropriate...

On the other hand, Hongyuan and Dongji Tianjun have been friends for tens of thousands of years, and he didn't want to create any rifts over this matter. He hesitated and said, "Gao Xian is not one of our disciples. It's not good to come to his house to ask for punishment, right?"

Dongji Tianjun laughed instead: "My Daluo Sect is the source of all the sects in Jiuzhou, and we are also the master of Jiuzhou. What's wrong with me going to ask for punishment?!"

Hongyuan was silent... (End of this chapter)
