Chapter Ninety-Three: Killing Three Birds with One Stone

Look at the door where there is no movement.

Xin Qin regretted more and more the idea of hugging her thighs in the first place.

Because of his impulsive decision, the two sisters were almost cornered.

"Little sister, let's go, it's my sister I'm sorry for you, let's find a way to leave Qianshan City......"

She could no longer hear the steward's taunts.

What she is thinking about now is how to help her sister leave Thousand Mountains City safely.

"With that Aoki Dan, the little sister can have the hope of breaking through the late stage of qi refining, and even building a foundation, even if I die, I must help the little sister leave safely......"

She had just taken two steps when she was pulled along,

Then Xin Rong's excited voice came, "Sister, look at ......"

Xin Qin turned her head to look and saw the door of the secret room open,

A figure appeared in front of several people.

Xin Qin couldn't help shouting, "Master......"

Liao Changxue on the side couldn't help blurting out, "How come?" ”

Li Xiao walked out and said indifferently, "How could it be?" Do you wonder why I'm still alive? ”

Don't think about it, just listening to this guy's tone and previous malicious attitude,

Li Xiao could guess that it was this guy who was the one who did the tricks on his retreat's secret room formation.

Liao Changxue reacted, his face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Daoist friend misunderstood, there is no malicious ...... here."

Li Xiao snorted coldly, "You also deserve to call me a fellow Daoist?" ”

Speaking of the aura of the monk in the foundation building period, it emanated,

Liao Changxue was shocked, forced to retreat again and again by coercion, and exclaimed, "You, you, actually succeeded in building the foundation?" ”

In his opinion, after being manipulated by himself,

Even if this person did not die, he would definitely fail to build the foundation.

Who knows that now not only is the dragon and the tiger out of the customs, but also the foundation has been successfully built.

Li Xiao said coldly, "It's unexpected, isn't it?" Do you think that under your interference, I will inevitably fail to build a foundation?"

Liao Changxue came back to his senses and squeezed out an ugly smile,

"The seniors laughed, it's just that the seniors came out at the last minute of the time limit, and the foundation was successfully built, which made the juniors a little surprised, and the seniors are not to blame."

Li Xiao didn't eat this set at all,

"You still pretend to be confused for me, and cut off my secret room aura at a critical moment, thinking that you can make me fail to build a foundation? Fortunately, your grandfather and I are well prepared and talented, and even if there are many disasters, we can still build a successful foundation."

As he spoke, he grabbed Liao Changxue suddenly.

Liao Changxue was shocked, he didn't expect this guy to dare to openly do something to him here.

"This is the inner city, I am the steward of the Thousand Mountains Sect, how dare you touch me."

He shouted and tried to dodge,

But where can I hide?

I saw an overwhelming big hand press suddenly,

The terrifying momentum made him tremble,

Can't even move a single step.

With a click, the amulet jade talisman that was automatically activated on his body shattered instantly.

Li Xiao pinched Liao Changxue in his hand and said with a cruel smile, "Do you really think I dare not touch you?" Interfering with others to build a foundation, this is an undying blood feud, even if I kill you, it is a matter of course......"

Liao Changxue was horrified, and said in a trembling voice, "I, I don't, you, you can't kill me, kill me, you can't think of getting out of the city......"

Xin Qin and Xin Rong on the side were already stunned, completely unaware of what was going on.

The mood of the two is like a roller coaster at this time,

At first, I thought that the old man had failed to build the foundation, and my heart was like ashes.

Then I was overjoyed to see the master go out of the customs and successfully build the foundation.

But then I saw that Li Xiao had a conflict with the steward, and he took the steward down regardless of it.

Xin Qin exclaimed, "Master, please calm down......"

She knew the seriousness of killing people in the inner city, especially the people from the Thousand Mountains Sect.

If the master really did something stupid, even if he built a foundation and cultivated, he would definitely not be able to escape from the city.

So her mood is really like a roller coaster, up and down.

Li Xiao smiled slightly, "I have my own measure, you wait for a while, and then talk about it when I deal with this matter......"

At this time, the movement here finally alarmed the guards,

A few rays of light flew quickly.

"Who? Dare to do it in the inner city? Don't you know the rules? A dignified middle-aged man showed his figure and whispered.

Behind the middle-aged man, several monks were all in full array.

After Liao Changxue saw the person coming, he hurriedly shouted, "The chief steward saves me, this guy wants to kill me for no reason, completely ignoring the rules of Qianshan City......"

Li Xiao's hand was slightly forced, and the guy bared his teeth in pain and couldn't speak.

At this time, because the movement was getting louder and louder, it had already alarmed many monks who came here to handle the rental of the secret room of the cave.

Many monks began to watch and discuss.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, that person seems to have had a conflict with a little steward, and he took the person down directly......"

"This is an inner city, it is strictly forbidden to fight, this monk is not small......"

"It seems that the foundation has just been successfully built, I'm afraid I don't think I can do whatever I want after the foundation is built......"

"Now he's finished, the chief steward Yang Zhen is here, that's the great monk in the late stage of foundation building......"

The monks had nothing to do with themselves, gloating.

I only felt that this young man who had just successfully built the foundation was afraid that he would not be floating, so he dared to do something to the people of the Qianshan Sect here.

Chief steward Yang Zhen said in a deep voice, "No matter what the reason is, you let him go first, and then we will talk, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude......"

Saying that, the coercion of the late stage of foundation building on his body emanated.

Li Xiao was unmoved and said, "Aren't you going to ask, why did I do it?" ”

Yang Zhen said coldly, "No matter what the reason is, as long as you dare to make a move in the inner city, it will be a provocation to the Qianshan faction, this is the rule......"

Li Xiao said indifferently, "Really? Then I would like to ask first, if I rent your cave house at a high price, are you obliged to ensure my safety during the retreat? ”

Yang Zhen frowned slightly, "This is natural, but ......"

Li Xiao said, "Don't do it first, then if I lease your secret room to break through the foundation building period, someone will do something to my rented secret room at the most critical time of my foundation building, and almost make me fail to build the foundation and die, do you Qianshan Sect have any responsibility?" And am I qualified to seek revenge on the man who did it? ”

Yang Zhen's brows furrowed even deeper, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Xiao mentioned Liao Changxue, "It's your steward, at the most critical moment when I broke through the foundation building in retreat, I cut off the supply of spiritual energy in the secret room, and almost let me die, but fortunately, I was well prepared and talented, so I succeeded in building the foundation in danger......"

Hearing this, the monks who were watching the excitement around were in an uproar and talked about it.

"Wouldn't it be, the steward did something to the secret room? If it's true, it's deadly......"

"It's unlikely, isn't that little steward smashing the signboard of the Thousand Mountains Sect by doing this?"

"Yes, we casual cultivators, just because we think that Qianshan City has a good reputation, we came to lease the cave mansion to cultivate and break through the realm, if this is the case, who will dare to come in the future......"

Yang Zhen naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and said sharply,

"It's just nonsense, the cave house leased by our Qianshan faction has always been known for its safety, how can anyone do anything to your cave, this is your side of the story, you let him go and confront him face to face, if it is really the problem of our Qianshan faction, there will naturally be corresponding punishment and compensation......"

Li Xiao smiled slightly, and relaxed Liao Changxue, who was restrained.

Liao Changxue immediately shouted after he could speak, "The big steward, the little one is wronged, how dare the little one dare to do anything to the secret room of the distinguished guest, this is a felony of the sect, even if you give the little one ten guts, the little one will never dare, it is this person who slanders the little one......"

Yang Zhen said in a deep voice, "He said no, what do you say?" Do you know what you should do to slander and ruin the reputation of my Thousand Mountains Sect? ”

At this time, one of his subordinates whispered, "The chief steward, I have found out, this guy's name is Liu Ming, and he is a casual cultivator with no background......"

Yang Zhen nodded, and said in his heart, since it is a loose cultivation, there is nothing to say, take him down first, otherwise the matter will get bigger and bigger, and it will not end well.

But at this time, more and more monks gathered to watch the excitement.

Yang Zhen naturally couldn't let the situation develop like this.

He didn't do it before, because Liao Changxue was in the other party's hands, and there were some rat throwers.

But compared to the reputation of the sect, a disciple in the Qi refining period is not impossible to sacrifice.

He first ordered the patrol team to disperse all the onlookers and drive them away, and cordoned off the scene.

Those monks who came to rent the secret room of the cave were naturally unwilling, saying that if they could not see the results, who would dare to rent the secret room of the cave with confidence.

Yang Zhen promised that after the results of the investigation came out, he would give everyone an explanation, which would let everyone disperse.

Li Xiao pinched Liao Changxue's old god.

As for Xin Qin and Xin Rong, he just sent a message to the two of them to follow everyone and leave first, don't worry.

While he said so,

But how could the two not be worried.

Their mood had hit rock bottom by this time.

If you originally offended the Tsukiki family, there is still hope of escaping,

That offended the Thousand Mountains Sect, that is, there was really no hope at all.

The two walked corpses away from the scene, awaiting the judgment of fate.

After the on-site lockdown,

Yang Zhen snorted coldly, "Picking quarrels and provoking trouble for no reason, ruining the reputation of my Qianshan Sect, and being stubborn, do you think that this steward will not dare to correct the law on the spot, so as to set an example......

Seeing that he was going to do something,

Li Xiao is not in a hurry,

On the contrary, Liao Changxue was in a hurry,

Because he knew that once he made his move, he would definitely be the first to die as a hostage.

He couldn't help shouting, "Help, big steward!" ”

Li Xiao sneered, "Sure enough, you're going to kill me without asking?" Fortunately, my ancestor knew that I was in trouble this time and gave me a lot of preparations......"

As he spoke, he shook his hand casually, and there was a huge green figure with a height of three meters beside him.

The figure roared as it appeared, and the terrifying coercion spread out in all directions.

Everyone's faces changed dramatically,

"The ghost slave who built the foundation of the Great Perfection??"

Even Yang Zhen's face changed,

It's not that he's afraid,

Even if his cultivation strength is not as high as this ghost slave,

But this is in Qianshan City, there is a large array of guards, and the ancestor is in charge, what is he afraid of.

His face changed because he heard Li Xiao's words.

Listening to its meaning, it is not a casual practice without any background, but a deep background.

If he had said so at the beginning, Yang Zhen would not have believed it too much.

But as soon as the ghost slave who built the foundation of the Great Perfection came out,

This greatly increases the credibility.

Those who can give the ghost slaves of the Great Perfection of the Foundation to their disciples are at least the Jindan Ancestors.

Look at the tough attitude of the other party

It's even more revealing.

And it seems that this kid is still a very valued core disciple.

Yang Zhen's face was a little ugly, but it was difficult to ride a tiger at this time, and it was impossible for him to stop.

He said secretly, "Even if the other party has a Jindan background, isn't my Qianshan Sect Ancestor Jindan?" If I retreat at this time, where is the face of my Thousand Mountains Sect? First call the big array and take this kid down, as long as it doesn't hurt his life, and then even if the Jindan Ancestor behind him comes to the door, we will take advantage of it, and I'm afraid that he will do something ......."

Although he was not afraid to say it, before he knew it, his attitude changed.

Before, he had planned to ignore the other party's rectification on the spot in order to set an example.

And now it has become a lifeless take.

At this moment, he saw Li Xiao wave his hand, and took the ghost slave back, saying,

"In fact, it is not an unreasonable person in the next generation, but at the critical moment of foundation building, the supply of spiritual energy was cut off, interrupting the foundation building process, if it wasn't for a strange treasure given by the ancestor to play a role, plus the talent in the next generation, I am afraid that he would have died.

When this kind of thing happens, I'm afraid anyone will be angry, plus in the next pass, I hear this guy speak disrespectfully, it seems that he is the ghost, and this will completely break out......"

Yang Zhen was stunned, he didn't expect Li Xiao's attitude to change drastically.

Liao Changxue was still shouting there, "I don't have the chief steward, absolutely nothing......"

Yang Zhen shouted, "Shut up......"

Since the other party gave the stairs down,

He coughed lightly and said, "So, there should indeed be some misunderstanding, if there is really a problem in the VIP secret room, this is not a trivial matter for my Qianshan faction, we will definitely investigate clearly, otherwise, Daoyou will go to the VIP room with me to drink tea first, I will let people investigate well, and I will definitely give Daoyou an explanation......"

Li Xiao smiled slightly, "That's very good......"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts, "Aren't you going to be done like this a long time ago?"

But they selectively forget,

If it weren't for Li Xiao releasing the ghost slave with the strength of the Great Perfection of the Foundation, pulling the banner of the tiger skin, and pulling an ancestor out,

Will their Thousand Hills Sect talk to him well?

I'm afraid that I won't just arrest him, or I will rectify the Fa on the spot.

In fact, if he is really a casual cultivator who has just broken through the foundation building period,

He wouldn't have chosen to make a big deal out of it in the first place,

At most, I chose to go to the chief steward to report.

Of course, in this way, even if he has evidence,

But in order to conceal this matter and reduce the impact, the Qianshan faction estimated to give him a little compensation.

Then the characterization of things as formations suddenly went wrong.

And Liao Changxue is estimated that this guy will not be punished too severely.

At most, it is dereliction of duty, three drinks and so on.

And this is not the result Li Xiao wants.

He could indeed wait until after the end of the Dan to come to the Qianshan Sect to settle accounts.

But that was until the Year of the Monkey.

With his character of revenge, he naturally has to find a way to avenge this revenge immediately.

So he thought of the trick of pulling the tiger skin to pull the banner.

Of course, if there is really no way to repay some revenge on the spot, it is better to endure it.

At that time, it is natural to endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, and it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

And now, if there is a way, why put up with it.

What's more, this move is also related to some of his later plans.

In the reception room,

At this time, only Li Xiao, Yang Zhen and Liao Changxue remained.

Li Xiao and Yang Zhen sat at the top.

And Liao Changxue stood tremblingly below.

Yang Zhen said, "Fellow Daoist, please tell me in detail what is going on......

Li Xiao didn't speak, and directly took out two jade talismans.

Record jade talismans, which can be audio or video.

Recording images is only a trivial matter for the rune technology of the immortal cultivation world.

One of these jade talismans recorded the scene when the aura of the secret room was cut off a month ago.

The other is a record of Liao Changxue's unabashed words when he went out.

Anytime and anywhere video recording forensics,

This is a good habit that Li Xiao developed after suffering several losses in his previous life.

At that time, he noticed that the aura was cut off and that there was a problem with the formation, so he thought of keeping the evidence and finding the Qianshan Sect to claim compensation.

Whether it's someone doing something or something wrong with the formation,

Anyway, with the evidence in hand, the Qianshan faction should not think about it.

Li Xiao said, "Fortunately, I also cultivated the formation, and I had to be reminded by the ancestor, saying that I was in a lot of disasters and must be fully prepared, so I arranged the spirit stone in the formation in advance, and there was a strange treasure given by the ancestor, so that the aura was continued at the critical moment, and the foundation building process was not interrupted."

In fact, you can know by checking the records that your formations have maintenance records, right? Usually this kind of large-scale spirit gathering array will have a maintenance record of more than a month, right? If you look it up, you'll know if what I'm saying is true or not, and of course, if the record happens to be missing, then I won't say it......"

His point was obvious, if the record was missing, someone must have probably deleted it.

And he's a formation mage, don't try to fool him.

Yang Zhen looked at the situation in the secret room recorded in the jade talisman at that time, and his face was a little ugly.

And Liao Changxue's face was even more ugly.

He didn't expect Li Xiao to be so well prepared,

is not only to guard against accidents that will occur when the foundation is built,

I was actually able to be distracted and wrote down the evidence with the record jade talisman.

Yang Zhen opened another jade talisman and heard Liao Changxue's unbridled words.

'See? Damn for now, right? It's not so easy to build a foundation. A lost dog who also wants to build a foundation for success? What the hell did you think at the time to get involved with this kind of person......

Li Xiao had actually sensed the existence of Liao Changxue and Xin Qin's sisters at the door at that time.

And he was keenly aware of the little steward's full malice.

So naturally, I recorded his unbridled words.

Liao Changxue's face turned pale, and he stammered, "I, I don't have any malice, but, it's just, I, I have no hope of building a foundation, so I feel jealous, so I will be open-mouthed, please, please forgive me, the secret room formation, it's really not what I did......"

Li Xiao smiled, "Jealous? Why do you use the word lost dog when you are jealous? And ask my concubine not to have anything to do with me, if you didn't know my details, you would say such things? ”

Yang Zhen's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word.

He had already asked his subordinates to check the formation records, and by the way, there were also Li Xiao's details.

Li Xiao sighed and said, "Daoist friends may not know, I was indeed like a lost dog before, this time I came back, in addition to building the foundation, I actually wanted to settle accounts with some people, but I didn't expect that before the accounts started, I almost had an accident, no wonder the ancestor would say that this trip was full of disasters......

At this time, a subordinate came in to report.

Yang Zhen listened to the transmission of his subordinates, and his face changed.

The first is that there are indeed no abnormal records in the formation records.

Formation failure alarms are automatically recorded, which is for better maintenance.

But according to the images provided by Li Xiao, there was indeed a problem with the Spirit Gathering Array in the secret room a month ago.

Moreover, the subordinates sent to investigate also found a large number of spiritual stones in the secret room, leaving residues after absorbing the spiritual energy.

It could only be that someone deliberately deleted the record.

And then there's the background of the monk named Liu Ming.

According to the investigation, this guy is the young master of a sect called the Mixed Yuan Sect that was wiped out a few years ago.

disappeared after escaping the day,

Until a few months ago, it appeared in Thousand Hills City.

Yang Zhen of the Mixed Yuan Sect still has an impression, after all, it is a foundation-building sect.

It can be regarded as a middle-level sect in the state of Wu.

The subordinates reported that it was the Qinglinghu Wang family who destroyed the Mixed Yuan Gate back then.

Yang Zhenxin said, "No wonder this guy said that he used to be a lost dog......"

Thinking that Liao Changxue actually called him a lost dog, this is very suspicious.

Because according to the investigation, the two have not crossed paths before.

But Liao Changxue has been very close to a steward of the Wang family's store in Qianshan City in recent years.

So, everything became clear.

Liao Changxue felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Big steward, I, I really didn't do anything, maybe I was too tired during that time and didn't pay attention to the formation failure......"

Yang Zhen's face sank like water, "No matter what, you will definitely not be able to escape from the crime of dereliction of duty, take him down for me, put him in prison first, and strictly guard him." ”

The two men dragged it down.

Yang Zhen coughed lightly, "Daoyou, this matter is a bit complicated, we will investigate it carefully later, and we must give Daoyou an explanation, Daoyou's loss, my Qianshan Sect will definitely give Daoyou satisfactory compensation." ”

It is impossible to immediately admit that it is the people of the Thousand Mountains Sect who are making ghosts,

And it is related to the disciples of Brother Jindan, how to compensate, this kind of thing he can't do.

Li Xiao took a sip of tea, "It's easy to say, as long as you can investigate the matter clearly, don't frame the good guys, and don't let the bad guys go...... As for compensation, I think it's better to forget it......"

Yang Zhenzheng said, "How can this be calculated, no matter what the reason is, Daoyou has indeed suffered losses, and my Qianshan Sect has always been fair, and I will definitely not let Daoyou suffer losses in vain." ”

Li Xiao smiled and said, "I have long heard that the Qianshan Sect is the head of the righteous path of the three southeastern kingdoms of Youzhou, and it is upright, and its reputation is all over the world, and it really lives up to its reputation......

Yang Zhen also smiled, "See you...... But I'm a little curious, since Daoyou has a teacher, why would he claim to be a casual cultivator and come to my Thousand Mountains City to build a foundation? ”

Building a foundation is a big thing, except for the scattered cultivation that there is no way,

Who would want to risk building a foundation on someone else's turf?

Li Xiao smiled bitterly, "This is a long story, Daoyou should actually know, my surname is Liu Mingming, I used to be the young master of the Mixed Yuan Gate of Wu State, and then the Mixed Yuan Gate was destroyed, and I was chased and killed by the enemy all the way, and I ran into the Unscrupulous Mountain in desperation, and my teacher at this time is a demon cultivator ancestor in the mountain."

Although I entered the Ancestor Sect, in fact, we did not have a fixed dojo, because the Ancestor cultivated the method of the Demon Heart, and paid attention to traveling around looking for opportunities. So naturally, there is no sect cave for me to build a foundation.

This time, I went back to Wu to build a foundation, but it was because the ancestor said that there was my opportunity in my homeland, but there were also many disasters. After thinking about it, I felt that since my monks wanted to move forward, they would not be afraid of any calamity, so I returned to the country of Wu. And if you want to build a foundation in Wu Kingdom, Qianshan City is naturally the first choice......"

Yang Zhen showed a sudden look, "I see, it's ......"

Li Xiao didn't know how much he believed his nonsense,

Anyway, he's just looking for an excuse, believe it or not.

Li Xiao continued, "Actually, I came back this time for another main purpose......

Yang Zheng said, "Oh, what is the purpose? ”

Li Xiao's expression turned cold, "Naturally, I am avenging the people of my mixed Yuan Sect, but I don't know, what does your faction think about wanting to take revenge on the Qingling Lake royal family?" ”

In fact, this is the main purpose of his making things bigger.
