Chapter 298 Retreat
Kong Baibai said: A gentleman is cautious and does not go out.
That is to say, a gentleman should be cautious in doing things, not talk nonsense, and not act rashly. Only in this way can things be accomplished.
Gao Xian trusted Yun Qingxuan and transferred Shui Yuying through Yun Qingxuan, giving himself a year to prepare.
However, the matter of killing Shui Yuying could not be discussed with Yun Qingxuan.
If Yun Qingxuan was dragged into this, things would become more complicated. As for what Yun Qingxuan thought, that was her business.
Gao Xian became the true disciple of Shenxiao five years ago. During those five years, he read a lot of sect classics.
Qingyun Sect has been around for thousands of years, and its rules are quite complicated. Gao Xian, who likes to take advantage of loopholes, has studied the rules a lot.
He knew that Shui Yuying wanted to kill him, and he had always been trying to kill Shui Yuying.
To do this, of course, we must carefully study the sect's relevant rules.
Internal strife is strictly prohibited in the Shenxiao True School, but how could there be no internal strife among the Shenxiao True School?
This is human nature, and no rules or laws can stop it. Just like murder is a capital crime, most murderers know the consequences, which does not stop them from killing, but only makes them act more cruelly and carefully.
In the sect's 7,000-year history, there are many records of the disciples of Shenxiao killing each other.
Of course, no matter how ingenious the plan is, it will be exposed in front of Xuanming Tianzun.
Gao Xian had suffered a loss once in Lianyun City and was deeply impressed by the bronze mirror that could distinguish truth from lies.
If it weren’t for Sister Lan, he would have been in trouble that time.
This time he had made preparations in advance, relying on the fact that he had Sister Lan around to deceive Xuan Ming Tian Zun.
Xuanming Tianzun is not a human being, nor does he have wisdom. At most, he is a powerful spiritual weapon. How can he distinguish truth from falsehood?
The soul of a cultivator is mysterious, and no one can directly detect the soul of another. Only Yuanying Zhenjun can barely do it.
Investigating the soul will cause irreversible damage to the practitioner.
It is impossible for Yun Zai Tian to use such means on Shenxiao Zhenchuan.
Xuanming Tianzun should be the same as the Lianyun Sect bronze mirror, which reflects the spiritual aura of the cultivator and judges the authenticity through the subtle changes in the aura.
Gao Xian felt that since he had Sister Lan, there would be no problem for him to face Xuan Ming Tian Zun, at least there would be no problem in telling a lie.
Even if we take a step back, we won't die if the truth is revealed.
After all, it was Shui Yuying who came to kill him, so he was acting in self-defense. He just killed someone, which was considered excessive self-defense.
The same is true in reverse. If he went to kill Shui Yuying and Shui Yuying killed him, Shui Yuying would still be held responsible.
Gao Xian knew very well that there was a certain standard in enforcing the law, not to mention the sect's rules, which were even more flexible in enforcement.
He has the Yun family as his stronghold, and is also valued by the founder Yun Zai Tian. Even if the truth is revealed, he will only be punished, such as being confined for a few decades.
For others, decades of solitary confinement would be enough to ruin them. But he had the Fengyue Baojian, which could continuously collect the spiritual light of humanity.
Even if there is no external resource support, the upgrade will be slower, but the impact will not be significant.
Moreover, he had the talent to defeat the golden elixir with his foundation building. Yun Changfeng was such a realistic person, he would definitely do his best to protect him!
Gao Xian is not an impulsive person and he always considers the consequences before doing anything.
Since he dared to kill Shui Yuying, he was prepared to bear the consequences.
Anyway, the worst case scenario is that. There is a high probability that nothing will happen. There is nothing to worry about.
Gao Xian said to Yun Qingxuan, "Brother, I have just absorbed the five elements' essence and need to be in seclusion for a year or two. Let Shui Yujun wait for now."
Yun Qingxuan nodded slightly and said, "Practicing in seclusion is a big deal, so we can't delay it. Just practice, and I'll take care of it, Shuiyujun."
It was unreasonable for Shui Yujun to suspect Gao Xian. It was even more unreasonable to force Gao Xian to confront Xuan Ming Zun.
It’s just that Shui Yuying is dead, and as the victims, it’s difficult for others to object if the Shui family speaks louder.
However, we cannot let Shui Yujun take control of the situation. Gao Xian's retreat is legitimate, Shui Yujun can confront him if he wants, but he can wait until Gao Xian comes out.
Yun Qingxuan had always looked down on Shui Yujun, so this was a good reason for him to help Gao Xian.
Gao Xian delayed time, firstly to torment Shui Yujun, and secondly to leave himself time to upgrade Taizhen Idol God.
With only 3.18 million spiritual lights missing, Taizhen Idol God will be able to ascend to the perfection of a grandmaster.
According to the current growth rate of humanity's spiritual light, only seven months will be enough.
The Taizhen idol god was promoted to the perfection of a master, and he was more confident in dealing with the statue of Xuanming Tianzun.
Gao Xian returned to Xuandu Peak, hurriedly explained things to Daniu, and then went into the underground quiet room.
After activating the magic circle to seal the quiet room, Gao Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
If people outside want to come in, they can only destroy the magic circle by force.
No matter how anxious Shui Yujun is, he will not do anything rash.
The rules of Shenxiao Zhenchuan are a constraint for everyone. He can't do whatever he wants, and the same goes for Shui Yujun.
Gao Xian also breathed a sigh of relief. He hurried back just to get there first.
As expected, Shui Yujun didn't have any other tricks. Let this old guy wait.
Gao Xian took out a storage bag and poured out all of Ye Huanyuan's things.
He put the Five Thunders Slaying Evil Order and other things left by Shui Yuying into his storage bag and temporarily stored them in Wanbao Tower.
Wanbao Tower is very safe, and Jin Dabao is his friend. They have common interests, so there is no reason for him to side with the Shui family.
On the other hand, he left a spiritual mark on the storage bag. If the spiritual mark was opened, the contents of the storage bag would have nothing to do with him.
Anyway, even if Jin Dabao comes out to testify, he can still deny the blame completely.
After all, what Jin Dabao did was against the rules, and his words were not trustworthy at all.
Ye Huanyuan left behind quite a few good things. There were more than 170 top-grade spirit stones alone. Together with Shui Yuying's 20 top-grade spirit stones, the total number of spirit stones was a total of 200 top-grade spirit stones.
Shui Yuying has the sect behind her, so all her precious belongings can be kept safely at home. It is impossible for her to bring too many spirit stones with her when she goes out.
Ye Huanyuan was different. He was the master of Juling Temple. There were only two or three cats and dogs in the temple. He was unable to protect the sect.
Furthermore, Ye Huanyuan would not trust these disciples and followers, so he would definitely carry all his money and treasures with him when he went out.
As the leader of a small sect, Ye Huanyuan's entire fortune consists of only a little over a hundred high-quality spirit stones, which is quite shabby.
The truly valuable thing is the round heart-protecting mirror, which should be a third-rank mid-grade magic weapon, or perhaps a top-grade one, Gao Xian couldn't say for sure.
The iron staff is a third-grade, top-grade magical weapon and is also valuable.
Gao Xian thinks the most valuable item is the green gem. This piece of gem looks like a flattened lychee, with complex and natural patterns on its surface.
There are mysterious runes deep inside the gem. It looks like a magic weapon, but it also looks like a natural spiritual object.
Among the hundreds of arts of cultivation, Gao Xian was proficient in elixirs. As for other arts such as magic tools, magic talismans, magic arrays, etc., he only had a general idea.
Identifying spiritual objects and magical tools requires a lot of practice to hone your keen eyes.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Zhu Qinnan is very talented in this area and can get a general idea of something once she gets her hands on it.
Gao Xian was much worse. He pondered the green jade for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was.
He could only see that the precious jade contained a strong vitality and spiritual energy, but as for how to use it, it would take some time to figure out.
Apart from this, other magical instruments and spiritual objects are nothing insignificant.
Excluding the iron rod, the gem, and the heart-protecting mirror, all the items added together should be worth more than a hundred high-quality spirit stones.
By this calculation, the young sect leader Ye Huanyuan is having a miserable life.
The same golden elixir, Yun Taihao has millions of cultivators under his command, occupies a large city, and controls dozens of Fangji. How rich is his wealth.
In terms of cultivation, Yun Taihao might not be stronger than Ye Huanyuan. In the final analysis, it was Yun Taihao who had the support of Qingyun Sect, which allowed him to firmly control Lianyun Sect.
For cultivators of the same level, having a background and not having a background are two completely different things! Gao Xian also had a deep feeling about this. Since he became a true disciple of Shenxiao, he could easily get all kinds of spiritual objects, and it was very smooth when he went out to do things.
Just like looking for Jin Dabao to cooperate in selling books, if he didn't have the true teachings of Shenxiao, Jin Dabao would never look at a small foundation-building cultivator, let alone engage in such a troublesome cooperation.
His identity as the true disciple of Shenxiao really saved him from countless troubles.
To enjoy the rights that come with your identity, you must naturally also bear the corresponding responsibilities.
Gao Xian understood this very well and did not think Shui Yuying's matter was too troublesome.
As long as the sect rules are not prepared for him alone, there is no problem.
With a loud "boom", the spiritual light of the magic circle suddenly emerged, and also alarmed Gao Xian in the quiet room.
When Gao Xian opened the water mirror, he saw Shui Yujun, dressed in a jade-colored robe, standing in the yard. His face was terribly gloomy.
The big bull standing by was so frightened by Jin Dan's aura that he pressed himself against the wall and couldn't breathe.
Gao Xian couldn't help but laugh. Shui Yujun was Kunbu Dao Zheng, so he was just angry and didn't dare to really do anything.
Gao Xian took out the Shenxiao Order and sent a message of divine consciousness to Yun Qingxuan.
Within the range of the sect's magic array, the Divine Sky Token can be used to communicate with each other, but its function is relatively simple and can only transmit very simple information.
"Gao Xian!"
Shui Yujun said in a low voice: "Don't you have the courage to see me?"
Gao Xian did not say anything. Looking at Shui Yujun speaking harshly, he found it quite funny.
This gentleman, who was as graceful as a jade, was obviously angry now! Shui Yujun didn't get a response, and he didn't have a good solution. He couldn't really break into the formation, that was not his style.
I just left like that, feeling extremely awkward and embarrassed.
When Shui Yujun was in a dilemma, a stream of cloud light descended from the sky.
When the umbrella-like cloud light dissipated, Yun Qingxuan, dressed in green, stood quietly in front of Shui Yujun.
"Master Shui, Gao Xian is in seclusion for cultivation. If you mess around like this, what will happen if he goes astray?"
Yun Qingxuan said calmly: "Mr. Gao is here and he can't run away. When he comes out of seclusion, he will definitely give you an explanation."
When Shui Yujun saw Yun Qingxuan step forward, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. This was the best.
"Okay, I'll wait." Shui Yujun flicked his sleeves and soared into the sky, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Yun Qingxuan glanced at Daniu beside him and saw that he just had disordered magic power and was not injured, so he urged the Yunguang Umbrella to leave.
After Daniu and the other two Jindan Zhenren had left, he sat down on the ground with his body limp. He took a few deep breaths and sweat poured down his face.
Being oppressed by Shui Yujun's golden elixir aura, he felt like he was dead, and only came back to life now...
Gao Xian also saw how miserable Daniu looked and could only give him a sympathetic look, thinking about compensating Daniu after a while.
Since I'm in seclusion, I can't run around.
The underground quiet room was actually quite cramped, and Gao Xian could only patiently meditate and practice every day, and when he had nothing to do, he would study some of Ye Huanyuan's good things.
After more than half a year, Rendao Lingguang finally saved up 3.2 million.
Gao Xian did not hesitate to add points to the Taizhen Idol God, raising this secret art to the perfect master level.
Deep in the Mirror of Love and Lust, Sister Lan emerged in a bright red skirt. Her eyes were full of joy, and she was gentle and charming like spring water.
Sister Lan gently held Gao Xian's hand and led him to the brocade couch...
