Chapter 35: See Murong Yan Again (One Shift, Two Shifts Today)
A few people from the Martial God Hall were waiting outside the Imperial God Hall, and after a while, a disciple came out to greet them to meet the master.
Li Yuanmin sat in the middle of the main hall, and he looked at the few people in the Martial God Hall with kind eyes.
"Since Zhao Lingfeng's incident, your Martial God Hall has collapsed, and in the end, only the three of you remain, although I am the head of Shushan, I can't control the hearts of the disciples of Shushan. Li Yuanmin said with a look of shame, "I'm afraid that this hunt is full of dangers, and for our Shushan, a once-in-a-century catastrophe is probably coming..."
"Master, the Shushan disciples who hunt all have a Martial Saint-level Venerable to protect them, where is the danger?" Xiao He couldn't help but ask.
"You are Xiao He, I often heard Hu Qingqing talk about you in these days of retreat, your talent is indeed very good. Well... I'm afraid that the demon beasts on those lists are not so easy to deal with, and their demon kings will definitely not ignore the hunt of cultivators after the contract is torn up. Li Yuanmin replied.
"Our hunting was originally to teach these demon kings a lesson and make them lose their vitality, but we have never had murderous intentions!" Xu Dabeard couldn't help but say.
"Alas, there was a contract first, and now that the Nine-Tailed Spirit Saint has passed away, the demon queen and us have actually torn their faces, and I actually don't understand the true purpose of this demon queen, what good is it for her to encourage these demon kings to go against the cultivators?" Li Yuanmin replied.
"Could it be... She has something to do secretly, and this hunt is actually a trick for her!" Luo Fanchen said with a flash of inspiration.
Li Yuanmin smiled and nodded, "Well, what Fanchen said is exactly what I thought. I'm afraid this demon queen is secretly carrying out some activities, but we don't know what they are..."
"This time, I ordered all the people from your Martial God Hall to come over, one of which is to investigate this matter. Riding the wind, as a father, as the head of the family, he is negligent in discipline on weekdays, but this time he has to give you an important task, and you must not disclose this task to others..."Li Yuanmin said heavily.
Li Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately set up a lot of energy, and he no longer looked like his usual wandering appearance: "Master, you command..."
"According to Xu Dabeard's intelligence, the junction between Jingzhou and Yangzhou is the territory of the 'Blood Bat King', and his frequent activities recently may be related to the conspiracy of the demon queen. My father wants you to investigate secretly, do you dare to go?" asked Li Yuanmin.
"The disciple must live up to his mission!" Li Chengfeng replied, "but... Can I take Xiao He with me?"
"Xiao He, Luo Fanchen, and Xu Dabeard have another thing to do, um... In this way, I'll tell Situ Rin, and you can go with Qu Lingge. Remember, don't tell anyone about your true purpose for coming down this time..."Li Yuanmin said.
"That's... In this hunt, will our Martial God Hall all be in vain?" Xiao He couldn't help asking.
"Hehe... I won't treat you Martial God Hall badly, don't worry..."Li Yuanmin said with a smile, "Xu Dabeard, Li Chengfeng, Xiao He, you step back first." Luo Fanchen, come with me to the apse, there is an old man who wants to see you, and she will tell the three of you about another task. ”
Except for Luo Fanchen, several people retreated.
"Who can be the deceased of mortal dust?" Xiao He asked Li Chengfeng.
"Fan Chen went to Shu Mountain with Master Zhao Lingfeng at the age of seven, and I really haven't heard of any old people in him, this thing is strange..."Li Chengfeng said.
"There are still a lot of things you don't know, don't think about it!" Xu Dabeard sneered, making it clear who he knew about Luo Fanchen's old man.
Luo Fanchen followed the head into the apse suspiciously, and there was a beautiful young woman standing quietly in the hall, her eyes were slightly red and swollen, obviously crying before.
"Aunt Murong, it's you!" Luo Fanchen trembled, obviously this person had a great relationship with him.
The young woman was Murong Yan, she heard Luo Fanchen's call, stared at the person in front of her, and was stunned for a while.
"Ahem... Miss Murong and Fanchen, you talk slowly, the old man won't bother you..."Li Yuanmin retreated after speaking, and couldn't help but feel melancholy in his heart, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, not to mention these cultivators who defy the sky?
Luo Fanchen's tears had already snatched out of his eyes at this time, and he said tremblingly: "Aunt Murong, I am Fanchen." ”
"Fanchen, are you really Chen'er?" Murong Yan stabilized her mind and stared at the Shushan disciple in front of her.
Luo Fanchen seemed to understand something, he pulled out his bun with his backhand, and his long black hair like a waterfall poured down.
"Aunt..."A crisp and pleasant girl's voice came into Murong Yan's ears, and the person standing in front of her was no longer a male disciple of Shushan, but a fresh and refined water lotus.
Murong Yan looked at the girl's clear eyes like autumn water, and memories suddenly filled her mind, she strode forward and hugged Luo Fanchen into her arms:
"Chen'er, it's really you, I haven't seen you for ten years, you've grown so big... It's my aunt who didn't come to Shushan earlier..."Murong Yan couldn't help but say, while gently patting Luo Fanchen's back.
"Auntie, the master is no longer there..."Luo Fanchen couldn't cry anymore, the bitterness and grief for many years had been pressed in his heart, and he was completely released at this moment.
"The boss has told me everything... Zhao Zhenren is my Murong Yan's benefactor, and I will definitely help you find out about his affairs!" Murong Yan's eyes showed a hint of determination, "Zhao Zhenren must have been wronged, there must be some secrets in the Five Elements Hall of Shushan that he knows, so they did this." In the past five years, you have indeed suffered from Fanchen, why don't you come to Yangzhou to find your aunt?
"Auntie, according to the rules set by our Shushan Patriarch, cultivators are not allowed to participate in the affairs of the human world, let alone ask for help from you. In the past five years, if it weren't for the secret help of the head of the house, I'm afraid that the Martial God Hall would have collapsed long ago... By the way, I'm afraid my aunt didn't come to Shushan this time just for the master, right?" Luo Fanchen wiped away his tears and said.
Murong Yan nodded, "Originally, I wanted to come to my hometown Liangzhou with my husband, but unexpectedly, he was summoned by the imperial court, so I came alone with my own carriage and returned to Murong's house." But recently, monsters have been rampant, and my father was afraid that I would be in danger on the way back to Yangzhou, so he asked me to go up to Shushan to visit. First, I asked Shushan for escort, and secondly, I also visited Zhao Lingfeng, who saved my life ten years ago..."
"So the head of the sect intends to let our Martial God Hall take charge of this matter, and it is also for the sake of my aunt's safety. Luo Fanchen said.
"Chen'er is right," Murong Yan said and took out a jade pendant from her sleeve, "This is the 'Huanyunyan' jade pendant of our Murong family, you can bring it, there is a scattered immortal among the ancestors of our Murong family, and he is called the 'Spirit Immortal'." You take this jade pendant to the 'Peach Blossom Fairy Island' east of Yangzhou to find him, he will definitely help you find out the truth of the matter, and return Zhao Zhenren to an innocent person..."
Luo Fanchen took this jade pendant, it was crystal clear and colorful, especially a flying swallow carved in the auspicious clouds was lifelike, and it was by no means ordinary.
"Thank you, aunt, after Fan Chen escorts my aunt back to Yangzhou safely, I will definitely visit this immortal, alas... Speaking of scattered immortals, there are five of them in my Shushan Elder Hall, but they are all taboo about the ancestors of the Hua family, and they dare not come out..."Luo Fanchen actually pouted at this moment, and said indignantly, looking like a little woman.
"Hehe, don't worry, this old immortal of the Murong family is also ranked in the top ten in the Kyushu Continent, and he will not be afraid of the Hua family. Murong Yan said.
"Hmm... By the way, aunt, in addition to Xu Dabeard, there is also one who is going forward with him this time..."Luo Fanchen's eyes suddenly glowed, and these were all captured by the thoughtful Murong Yan.
"Oh, let's hear it, it can't be Li Chengfeng, the son of the head of the family, right?" Murong Yan said deliberately.
"It's not the dead monkey, it's the 'mallet'. Luo Fanchen hurriedly said, "His name is Xiao He, he is a new disciple of the Martial God Hall, and he recently snatched a place from the mouth of the Five Elements Hall in the Shushan martial arts competition. At the beginning, he killed the bastard son of the assassin at the Shushan Recruitment Conference, but I rescued him with Chengfeng..."
Murong Yan looked at Luo Fanchen in front of her, the man she was talking about was definitely not ordinary, she faintly felt that Luo Fanchen's heart had left a special place for this person, but she didn't know it at this time. Murong Yan was very curious, she had to consider this Xiao He personally.
