Chapter 164: Self-defeating

"Master, you've been practicing in retreat for a long time......" Hua Qingyu said. Since staying in the Bamboo Garden with Hua Qianxue, Hua Qingyu has been to the Cold Moon Sect several times, but Yin Suyao has not come out of retreat. Several years have passed, and Yin Suyao has successfully reached the middle stage of annihilation.

"After hearing that you were taken away by Elder Yu of the Taiqing Sect to heal the dantian, I was a lot more relieved, and I just happened to cultivate to a critical juncture, so I closed the retreat. I didn't think that so much time had passed since I cultivated, and so many big things had happened in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Still, I'm most worried about your injury. How is it, has your dantian recovered?" Yin Suyao asked with concern.

"It's already intact, but it's ......" Hua Qingyu suddenly hesitated, and said embarrassedly, "Master, please forgive the apprentice for being unfilial, in order to repay the kindness of the Hua seniors, now he has already worshiped under the Hua Yi Sect ......"

Yin Suyao smiled slightly: "It's okay, Sect Master Li has asked someone to bring me a message." Hua Qianxue cured your dantian, and it is natural for you to worship her as a teacher. ”

"Thank you Master for your understanding. ”

Hearing the sound of the two people talking in the courtyard, Yu Ruijiang and Hua Qianxue walked out of the room.

Seeing that it was Yin Xuyao, Yu Ruijiang said: "It turned out to be Elder Yin." ”

"Elder Yu, the gathering of masters from all walks of life in the Taiqing Sect seems to be for the sake of making the disciple He Tianxiao. Go over and take a look, I'm afraid the current situation is not good. Yin Suyao said.

"Thank you Elder Yin for reminding me. Yu Ruijiang hurriedly went straight to the Hall of Morality with a slight bow.

Yin Suyao looked at Hua Qianxue and arched her hand: "This must be Hua Daoyou." Thank you for curing the dantian of Qingyu. ”

Hua Qianxue smiled and waved her hand: "I robbed your beloved apprentice, and I still have some regrets." By the way, I don't know who are the masters who came to the Taiqing Sect this time?

"Sect Master Peng didn't come, but his Daoist Sect Master Jin Immortal Wu Suying came. In addition, there are ......" Yin Suyao reported the others one after another.

"Golden Immortal Sect Master Wu Suying?" Hua Qianxue frowned, the three words "Wu Suying" made Hua Qianxue suddenly think of a person who was almost forgotten, and said in her heart: "How could someone call this name......

"Hua Daoyou?" Seeing Hua Qianxue frowning and silent, Yin Xuyao shouted suspiciously.

"Elder Yin, Qingyu, you haven't seen your master and apprentice for a long time, let's catch up on the old days. I suddenly had something urgent to do, so I took my leave. Hua Qianxue, who came back to her senses, also left the bamboo garden in a hurry.

Hua Qianxue also wants to go to the Hall of Morality. But before that, she first went to the alchemy room of the three halls of the back mountain. After rushing into the alchemy room, she picked up a small bottle in the corner of the long table and put it in her arms, and ran out before she even had time to close the door.

"Wu Suying, Wu Suying...... Hopefully I'm wrong. The uneasiness in Hua Qianxue's heart became stronger and stronger, and the speed of running became faster and faster, "If you guess correctly, if it's too late, the consequences will be unimaginable......"

At this time, the atmosphere in the Temple of Ethics was very tense.

"Mr. Yi, how can you speculate on my sect based on such a tiny sign?" Li Yuanxiao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"'When a leaf falls, you know the autumn of the world, and when a fruit is ripe, you know that everything is fruitful. The signs are small, but they reveal the truth of the matter. Yi Liuchen said indifferently.

Li Yuanxiao glanced at the people of the other major sects: "What about you, do you also suspect that my Taiqing Sect is harboring the murderer?"

Zhong Ruiqi, the sixth elder of the Red Sun Sect, touched his beard and said, "No, the reputation of the Taiqing Sect for hundreds of years, I naturally can trust it. What I suspect is only Sect Master Li. ”

"Hmph, in that case, why didn't Zhu Honglie come in person?"

"My coming this time has nothing to do with the Red Sun Sect, I'm here for my insiders. Zhong Ruiqi smiled slightly, and took the hand of a woman beside him, who turned out to be Hu Xinying, the elder of the Golden Immortal Sect.

"I'm the same, I hope Sect Master Li doesn't misunderstand. "The Eighth Elder of the Yeli Sect, Tan Yingbiao, has also taken over another elder of the Golden Immortal Sect.

Li Yuanxiao now understood that these two people did not come according to the meaning of Zhu Honglie and Guo Yunchao. He was in a slightly better mood.

"What about Sect Master Zuo, Sect Master Yan, Sect Master Yan, and Sect Master Ye?" Li Yuanxiao asked the four sect masters again.

Tan Taiqian said politely: "I just came with my Sect Elder Deng, and I have no other intentions. Elder Deng's Daoist companion also happened to be one of the elders of the Golden Immortal Sect. ”

Compared with Taiqian, Zuo Aolian's tone was much stiffer: "Sect Master Li, I only believe in the truth of the matter. In addition, the Taoist companion of Elder Qiu of my sect is Elder Xia of the Golden Immortal Sect, so it stands to reason that I should go through this experience. ”

Yan Sushuang smiled and said, "I didn't want to come, but Elder Yin misses his apprentice very much, so I happened to accompany her to come." In addition, the destroyed Nine Heavens Sect originally belonged to Feilong County, and I also want to find out who the real murderer is. ”

The double cultivators of several women of the Golden Immortal Sect turned out to be elder-level figures in the six major sects, and Li Yuanxiao was a little surprised. "Sect Master Ye, you are the only one in your sect. Could it be that your Daoist companion is also a member of the Golden Immortal Sect?Could it be that it is Sect Master Wu?" Of course Li Yuanxiao knew that this was impossible, and he just asked this question to embarrass the two of them.

Ye Shenrong didn't get angry at all, and laughed loudly: "Sect Master Li has misunderstood, how can I have the blessing to marry Sect Master Wu? Sect Master Wu is the Taoist companion of Sect Master Peng of the Poison Refining Sect. Three of the last five tragic incidents occurred in my Xianglong County, and Tianyun Sect is the largest sect in Xianglong County, so of course I have to ask about it. In addition, when Mr. Yi, Pei and Qi Guan, two Taoist friends, were investigating the murderer, I was also by my side, and it was my duty to come here to testify. ”

"Sect Master Li, why do you avoid talking about He Tianxiao's affairs, but you care so much about who will come or who won't? As long as you act correctly and sit upright, even if the gods and Buddhas come down to earth, what are you afraid of?" Wu Suying said.

Li Yuanxiao said: "What is there to talk about? He Tianxiao is my grandson, yes, but he has long given up cultivating immortals, and now he doesn't know where to go." That's all I have to say. ”

Wu Suying sneered: "I'm afraid things are not that simple, right?" After speaking, she slapped her palm three times, and the door of the Hall of Ethics was pushed open, and a person walked in.

Li Yuanxiao fixed his eyes and saw that it was He Hairuo, the Taoist companion of the Seventh Elder Liu Yunwei. "He Daoyou?" he was surprised, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"This He Hairuo Daoist is the double cultivation of Liu Yunwei, the seventh elder of the Taiqing Sect

Daoist is also the second elder of my Golden Immortal Sect. Wu Suying's words surprised everyone again.

Why did the small number of Golden Immortal Sect rise so quickly? Now the truth was revealed. There are a total of six elders, and they are all double cultivating with the elders of the major sects. It's no wonder that Wu Suying had the ability to thoroughly investigate the heavy sword masters of various immortal cultivation sects before, and she relied on this complex network.

"Fellow Daoists, I have lived in the Taiqing Sect for many years. As far as I know, He Tianxiao was originally a rare immortal cultivator in the sect. Fourteen years ago, he and his younger brother He Tianyao and junior sister Zhu Xiaomin followed the three seniors in the sect to go out to practice, and returned to the sect two years later. Eleven years ago, He Tianxiao suddenly left the sect and disappeared. Sect Master Li had sent people to search for the nearby state city, but they did not find it. What He Hairuo said was already known to everyone, but it was more detailed, she paused for a moment and continued, "In addition, just a few months ago, Sect Master Li sent three disciples from Zhuyuan down the mountain to secretly find He Tianxiao's whereabouts. ”

As soon as He Hairuo's voice fell, there was an uproar in the Daode Palace. If it was still reasonable to look for He Tianxiao eleven years ago, then this latest one can't be explained.

Yi Liuchen said loudly: "Everyone, He Daoyou's news is exactly in line with my speculation. Eleven years ago, He Tianxiao did not disappear, but hid in Jingren Village under Dongshi Mountain. The reason why he really disappeared was in the last few years, and the reason for his disappearance was that he had cultivated the evil sect and gone mad! You probably don't know that the people of Jingren Village have all been brutally killed and buried in the farmland!"

Yi Liuchen's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and in the face of everyone's suspicions, Li Yuanxiao didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"It's my order to find He Tianxiao!" Lu Hailong suddenly stepped into the Hall of Morality, "After I returned from the Shuzang Palace a few months ago, I asked the three disciples of Zhuyuan to go down the mountain to find He Tianxiao. After all, he is a disciple of this sect and the grandson of Sect Master Li, so the reason why he keeps quiet is precisely for the reputation of Taiqing Sect and Sect Master Li, what's wrong with this?"

Lu Hailong left Taiqing Sect a few days ago and went to Miao Haoshang and Jiang Huangu to retreat, and now he came back at the right time.

As soon as Lu Hailong came, the momentum of the others suddenly became a little shorter, and even Yi Liuchen had to call him politely: "Lu Daoyou." ”

"Fellow Daoists, I guarantee with my own credibility and the reputation of the Taiqing Sect for nearly a thousand years, if it is really the evil thing He Tianxiao did, I and Sect Master Li will never tolerate it! However, if there is no absolute evidence, if you speculate or mess around and ruin the reputation of the Taiqing Sect, don't blame me for being polite!" Lu Hailong, who has always had a good temper, was really angry this time.

"I didn't come this time to force Sect Master Li to hand over He Tianxiao, just to ask for an explanation. Now that we have Lu Daoyou's guarantee, our goal has been achieved. I hope that your sect will try your best to search for He Tianxiao's whereabouts, and when you find him, everything will naturally come to light. Yi Liuchen got up and said, "Lu Daoyou, Sect Master Li, I'm too disturbed." Yi resigned. ”

Pei Xuefeng, Yu Feipeng, and Qi Guanying also said goodbye together and prepared to leave.

This is Ye Shenrong's last chance. He coughed lightly three times suddenly, Wu Suying understood, and quietly uncorked the three medicine bottles, while holding her breath. The faint fragrance immediately spread through the main hall.

Looking at everyone's confused eyes, Ye Shenrong was overjoyed, and was about to laugh out loud, but a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Sect Master Ye, are you okay?" He turned his head in shock, and Yu Ruijiang, the fifth elder of the Taiqing Sect, was already standing at the door of the Daode Hall at some point.

"Why doesn't Dream Soul Incense work for him?" Ye Shenrong was anxious and puzzled in his heart, this time it was troublesome, with Yu Ruijiang present, there was no chance to control the others at all.

Then, something that made Ye Shenrong even more desperate happened, and suddenly, a violent stench came out of nowhere, sweeping away the fragrance of the dream soul incense, and everyone's eyes returned to normal, for them, the previous blur was just a short trance.

"Ah, why is it so stinky!" Pei Xuefeng covered his nose and waved his arms exaggeratedly.

The official who pinched his nose said angrily: "It seems that someone farted, it really stinks!"

Yu Feipeng approached Ye Shenrong, sniffed lightly, and suddenly frowned, and pushed Ye Shenrong: "Sect Master Ye, you are really uncultivated!"

Being pushed by Yu Feipeng like this, the sluggish Ye Shenrong came back to his senses, and the stench actually emanated from his buttocks. He knew in his heart that Dream Soul Incense must have been relieved by someone, and by the way, he set him aside, making him a big ugly. "Heh, fellow Daoists, I'm really sorry, on the way here, I was greedy for a few glasses of wine, and I ate some snacks, but now my stomach is not very comfortable, and I didn't hold back for a while, it must be a problem with the dishes. I hope you Haihan!" Ye Shenrong had no choice but to make up a lie and admit it, who let his ass be the source of the stench.

"Ying Suwu, it's really you!" Hua Qianxue flashed out from behind Yu Ruijiang.

Wu Suying was shocked: "Zhao Qianxue, aren't you in the Valley of Forgetfulness, how can you be here?" At this time, she suddenly remembered that Peng Xinwei had said a long time ago that because the earlier Dream Soul Incense was recognized by the master, Ye Shenrong failed to control Miao Haoshang. Wu Suying thought it was a master of the Taiqing Sect, but it turned out to be the original junior sister Zhao Qianxue!

Hua Qianxue said disdainfully: "You scum, you are not dead! I will say how Peng Xinwei has such ability, it turns out that the Chaos Divine Powder is from your hand! It's a pity that you don't know, my vein ancestor has already developed the Chaos Divine Powder, and he has already had an antidote. ”

Wu Suying quibbled: "What kind of chaos, I don't know!"

"Qianxue, what's going on?" Lu Hailong asked.

"Guys, did you feel a moment of dizziness just now? That's because she released poison!" Hua Qianxue pointed at Wu Suying.

Everyone's eyes glared at Wu Suying.

"No wonder there was an inexplicable aroma just now that made people feel in a trance, it turned out that you were making trouble!" Yi Liuchen grabbed Wu Suying's neck.

"You don't know, her original name was Ying Suwu, and she worshiped under the Hua Yimai Sect with me, but later the family teacher Hua Yiqin found that this person's heart was not right, and she deliberately used her beauty to seduce innocent people to test drugs, so she was expelled from the school. At that time, the family teacher was about to cross the catastrophe, and there was no time to be distracted, so he ordered me to clean up the portal. I pursued all the way to the East China Sea

After losing her trace, she didn't expect that after so many years, she would come out under the pseudonym 'Wu Suying' and continue to harm others. Ying Suwu, I see where you are fleeing this time!" Hua Qianxue pulled out the Dianwu Immortal Sword.

Thinking of the emotional entanglement between Wu Suying and Qi Guanying at the foot of Tiandao Mountain, everyone immediately understood what had happened.

"I always felt that you were not a good person, and you dared to assassinate us!" Pei Xuefeng said angrily.

Wu Suying was pinched by Yi Liuchen's neck, her face was flushed, and she hummed "woo", as if she wanted to say something.

"Such a slut, leave her to do anything!" Ye Shenrong suddenly shouted, took out his gongbu sword and stabbed it into Wu Suying's heart.

"Don't!" it was too late for the official to stop him, and with a "plop", blood was all over the ground, and Wu Suying was killed.

Ye Shenrong breathed a sigh of relief: "Fellow Daoist Qiguan, this woman deceived you first, and harmed others later, could it be that you still have no feelings for her?"

Qi Guan Ying snorted coldly: "Sect Master Ye is inevitably too underestimated by me, how can I, Qi Guanying, be a person who can't afford to let go?" It's just that before killing her, we should first find out her purpose and motives. ”

Yi Liuchen walked to the door, threw Wu Suying's body into the open space outside the hall, turned around and said, "Sect Master Ye is indeed a little reckless. But the person is dead, and there is nothing to be done. Zhao Daoyou, no, it should be Hua Daoyou, isn't Hua Yimai a single lineage?How could the Venerable Master Hua Yiqin accept two apprentices?"

Hua Qianxue explained: "The ancestor of the original lineage did not set the rules for the single transmission of the lineage, but the conditions for accepting apprentices were quite strict, and it was painstaking and laborious to find an apprentice to inherit the mantle, so the listed patriarchs all taught the exercises after receiving one apprentice, and no longer accepted apprentices." Ying Suwu and I were both orphans, and when we met our tutor, we were begging along the street together, and the tutor saw that both of us were qualified, so he made an exception and accepted two apprentices. Counting, Ying Suwu is still my senior sister. ”

"Qianxue, are you the one who solved the chaos?" Lu Hailong asked.

Hua Qianxue smiled and nodded: "The real chaotic spirit is colorless and tasteless, and Ying Suwu has not been refined at home." She devoted herself to research and development, thinking that she was foolproof, but she didn't know that my vein ancestor had already created this poison, and even developed an antidote. ”

"Friends of Hanami, I don't know what the effect of chaotic dispersion is?" Yi Liuchen felt that the name didn't seem like some deadly poison.

"The mind is deceived and thus controlled by men, and there is no liberation from it for eternity. ”

"What a vicious woman!" Pei Xuefeng scolded, "Senior brother, it's good that she rejected you, or you wouldn't know if you were controlled by her!"

The official should be silent.

Yi Liuchen frowned slightly, stared at Hua Qianxue and said, "I didn't expect Hua Yimai to develop such a terrifying poisonous ......."

Naturally, everyone could hear what he was saying.

Yu Ruijiang stepped forward and defended Hua Qianxue: "Hua Yimai has created this poison for a long time, but it has never harmed others. Besides, in addition to the chaos and dispersion, I don't know how many kinds of invisible poisons can kill people in the flower vein. Mr. Yi's remarks, isn't it a bit too unfounded?"

Hua Qianxue was also very dissatisfied: "Mr. Yi, if I have different intentions, how can I save you? Humanity is an important condition for our line to accept disciples. ”

Yi Liuchen paused, and apologized: "Yi was too careful for a while, and spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and hoped that the flower path friend Haihan." After that, he owed Hua Qianxue a debt.

"Then what should these people do?" Yu Feipeng pointed to Ying Suwu's junior sisters.

"Join forces and kill them together!" Ye Shenrong held the Gongbu Immortal Sword in his hand, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring.

When several women heard this, they all panicked, and while shouting to plead their innocence, they looked at the double monks. But in this case, those elders did not dare to openly stand up for protection, and they bowed their heads and remained silent, as if they were not looking.

Pei Xuefeng, Yu Feipeng, and Qi Guanying pulled out their immortal swords one after another, but Li Yuanxiao said angrily: "Three, the Taiqing Sect's Daode Hall is not a place for you to clean up the scum! These people were brought by you, please take them away!"

Yi Liuchen said: "What Sect Master Li said is extremely true. These women are all Taoist companions of the elders of several major sects, and they will handle it themselves, so we casual cultivators should not interfere. Lu Daoyou, Sect Master Li, Elder Yu, Hua Daoyou, I'm waiting to leave. ”

After the four cultivators left, Hua Qianxue glanced at the women who were trembling with fright: "Ying Suwu shouldn't easily tell these people about this poison, after all, there are many people. But whether Ying Suwu was instructed by others, this may not be ......" Last time, Ye Shenrong and Peng Xinwei tried to control Miao Haoshang with ill intentions, and this time they will definitely not be able to escape the involvement, but there is no evidence, and she is not easy to say.

Hu Xinying begged for mercy: "Sect Master Li, Senior Lu, I really don't know, we have lived in other sects for many years, and we are not with Senior Sister. This time, it was also for the sake of the Golden Immortal Sect that I gathered in the Taiqing Sect......"

Hu Xinying's words caused several other women to echo the winning streak and beg for mercy again.

Lu Hailong waved his sleeves: "You don't have to beg me for mercy, I believe that the elders will handle this matter properly." Let's go. Sect Masters, Elders, don't send it!"

I didn't expect that there would be such a dramatic change in this gathering in the Taiqing Sect, and the few elders who were originally arrogant were now making a big fool. Lu Hailong gave the order to expel the guests, and they hurriedly pulled their Taoist companions and left.

Tan Taiqian and Yan Sushuang didn't speak too much before, and they were more calm at this time. Tan Taiqian politely bowed her hand to Lu Hailong and the others, and left the Hall of Morality. Yan Sushuang went to Zhuyuan with Yu Ruijiang and Hua Qianxue to find Yin Xuyao.

After the people left, He Hairuo knelt on the ground with a "poof" and cried: "I beg Senior Lu and Sect Master Li to spare my life......

Li Yuanxiao glanced at her and asked Lu Hailong, "Master, if He Hai is Elder Liu's Taoist companion, what should I do?"

Lu Hailong said: "You can spare you, but you have to swear that you will be at ease with Elder Liu in the future, and you will not be able to raise his heart again, and you will not be allowed to go back to the Golden Immortal Sect." If you can do it, get up. ”

He Hairuo was overjoyed and stood up with great gratitude.

"In addition, you have to make it clear, who told you about the secret search for He Tianxiao?" Lu Hailong suddenly raised his voice.
