Chapter 256: Multi-Sided Investigation
For Yuan Hengbo, Su Aotian is now worried in his heart. He could feel that this beauty looked at him differently, and he felt deeply unhappy, and he was afraid of causing Luo Yingsleeve's unhappiness, so he was unwilling to take the initiative to contact her again. But for the sake of Lu Xiaodong, I had no choice but to give it a try. Since leaving Purgatory City, they have been together for more than a thousand years, during which they have lived and died together, and their friendship is deep beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Now his whereabouts are unknown, his life and death are uncertain, no matter what, he must find out, there is revenge, there is revenge.
From Jianyang City to the mountain gate of Zhaoyang Tianzong, if you take the avenue, then Zhongzhou Mansion is a must-pass place. They marched all the way to Zhongzhou Mansion, trying to find out as much as possible about the monk's fighting and vendetta along the way. However, this kind of thing is too many and too common, and from so many disputes, it is impossible to find out which monks like Lu Xiaodong are involved, and it is not even a needle in a haystack. In addition, the vendetta between the monks pays attention to the cleanliness of their hands and feet, leaving no traces, so as not to be found by someone and lead to future troubles, so it is indeed difficult to learn some such news.
Seeing that he really couldn't find any valuable information along the way, Su Aotian didn't delay any longer, and the group hurried to Zhongzhou Mansion. Returning to this place of pastime and indulgence, which can be called the most prosperous place of recreation and indulgence in the Chengtian Continent, everyone is in a gloomy mood and ignores all kinds of entertainment. After settling down, Su Aotian went directly to see Yuan Hengbo.
However, Yuan Hengbo was not there, so Su Aotian had to ask someone to convey it on his behalf, saying that he had an urgent matter to see Fairy Hengbo, please let me know, and he was grateful. After returning to the inn, the group still went their separate ways, going to various places every day to find out all kinds of messy news.
After waiting for a few days, Yuan Hengbo came to the door. As soon as she saw Su Aotian, this beauty's eyes were circulating, bright and beautiful, and the joy that emanated from her heart not only made Su Aotian's hairs stand on end, but also made others see it clearly, knowing that this beauty was definitely different from Su Aotian. She first complained, blaming Su Aotian for being gone for so long, why didn't she come to Zhongzhou Mansion earlier, and then she noticed that everyone's demeanor was different. Although Luo Yingsleeve smiled and smiled, she was so intelligent, and the disciples of Nishang Yuntian were all among the best in these things, and they quickly understood the relationship between Su Aotian and Luo Yingsleeve, and felt slightly bitter in their hearts.
For these things, she didn't have as Su Aotian imagined, she would be jealous with Luo Yingsleeve and make a lot of trouble. The disciple of Nishang Yuntian has long learned how to deal with this kind of emotional problem in the sect, not to mention a Luo Yingsleeve, even if there are two or three beauties, she can dance with long sleeves and handle it smoothly and transparently. It is not surprising that there are three or five Taoist monks in this world, and some even have a huge group of Taoist monks. As long as you cultivate to the sky, you have your own beauty to send it to the door, who dares to say anything about it?
With Yuan Hengbo's understanding of Su Aotian, he is not a half-hearted playboy, but there will be two or three confidantes, she expected it and can accept it calmly. In fact, she has never been in contact with people like Su Aotian, and she doesn't understand his emotional world, although she has a secret relationship with Su Aotian, she doesn't know that it is destined to be in vain.
As smart as she is, of course she will not worry about a Luo Yingsleeve with Su Aotian, but she began to be close to Luo Yingsleeve silently, as long as the two have a deep relationship, maybe she doesn't need to bring it up, Luo Yingsleeve will take the initiative to pull her closer to Su Aotian's arms.
Luo Yingsleeve and Su Aotian met through music and rhythm, and then knew each other and fell in love, knowing Su Aotian's personality better than anyone else, and also knowing his relationship with him. She believed in herself, and even more in Su Aotian, seeing that the lifelong Taoist couple she identified was able to win the heart of a beauty like Yuan Hengbo, not only did she not have jealousy and hatred, but she was complacent in her heart, and there was a kind of pride that others were helpless about.
Of course, Su Aotian didn't know the careful thoughts in the hearts of the two beauties, he was uneasy, like sitting on pins and needles, when he saw the two women talking happily, and there was no scene he expected at all, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He originally had a clear conscience, but Yuan Hengbo's good impression of him was something that even a blind man could see, and he couldn't explain it to Luo Yingsleeve first. Since Luo Yingsleeve was not unhappy, he was also relieved, and after a few words of greeting with Yuan Hengbo, he asked her if there was any news about Lian Qiongyu and Shui Qingrou, whether there had been any retreat cultivators who had fallen due to vendetta and other reasons in recent years, and some rumors about the disciples of Zhaoyang Tianzong.
Yuan Hengbo said that she didn't have any accidents recently, and she didn't know very well, but Nishang Yuntian had a lot of inexhaustible sources, and she could go back and sort it out, and then bring the relevant news to see if it could help. Then I asked them what else they were doing this time, how long they could stay, and preferably a little longer. Su Aotian didn't want to reveal Lu Xiaodong's affairs, but he was vague that he should come here and indeed have some important things, if Yuan Hengbo could help, he would be really grateful. As for how long he can stay, he can only decide after reading Yuan Hengbo's news and information.
Yuan Hengbo saw that Su Aotian said solemnly, so he didn't stay long, and went back after talking for a while. She was extremely efficient, but she brought a jade slip in three days. Su Aotian invaded his divine consciousness and learned several important things from the massive amount of information.
He excerpted them one by one and shared them with the crowd. The first is that the disciples of Zhaoyang Heavenly Sect, Fahua Temple, Hidden God Valley and other forces once joked with the familiar disciples of Nishang Yuntian after drinking and said that they had seen two beautiful female cultivators in the area of Jianyang City, and their demeanor was even more outstanding than these disciples of Nishang Yuntian; The senior brother once complained in front of him, saying that there were countless beautiful female cultivators in Zhongzhou Mansion, so why bother to covet the beauty of others, so that he had to bother to raise it;
In addition, there are some words and phrases, mostly the words of some disciples of some stronger forces not far from the Zhongzhou Mansion, who they have fought with somewhere, how to kill and repel the other party, what good things they have gotten, and so on. These news are more complicated, and it is impossible to tell whether it is related to Lu Xiaodong. A few people had recalled some of the thrilling moments they had experienced, and several powerful opponents with deep memories, among which there was a battle near Jianyang City, and it was also mentioned that some monks had quite good earth-based magical powers, but it was difficult to determine that it must be Lu Xiaodong.
After everyone's deliberation, they thought that *'s complaint and the two amazingly beautiful female cultivators mentioned by those disciples were probably Lian Qiongyu and Shui Qingrou, and it seemed that someone coveted the beauty of the two of them and moved their minds, but somehow, they didn't come in person, but entrusted * to do it. The Zhaoyang Heavenly Sect itself is powerful, and there are only a handful of sects that can command them, and the most likely one is, of course, the alliance they boast about—the Chengtian Sect.
And the sword that the Zhaoyang Heavenly Sect disciple was talking about was also very likely to be the Amethyst Ice Spirit Sword. If these speculations are true, then Lu Xiaodong is really unlucky.
These news almost turned the ominous premonition in everyone's hearts into reality. Although Lu Xiaodong has made everyone feel that things are not good, they always have a fluke mentality, hoping that he is just trapped somewhere, and it is difficult to get out for a while, just like Su Aotian, although he has been missing for eight years, causing everyone to worry day and night, but in fact, he is just cultivating in the ban. However, the probability of such a thing happening is very small after all, and there are countless monks who disappear without a trace every moment of every day.
However, if no one confirmed it with their own eyes, everyone still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and the most reliable one at present was the Amethyst Ice Spirit Sword. If it can be confirmed that this sword is now in the hands of Zhaoyang Tianzong, then it can almost be said that even if Lu Xiaodong is not dead, he is in an extremely miserable situation.
Su Aotian immediately went to see Yuan Hengbo and asked her if she could find out the disciples of Zhaoyang Heavenly Sect, who had obtained an extremely beautiful appearance of a ground-level inferior blade, the whole body was white with a star of purple light, and there were colorful lights on both sides of the sword body that were constantly flickering. He carved an image in the jade slip with his impression, and told Yuan Hengbo that the sword was most likely in the hands of the female cultivator.
Next, Su Aotian inquired about the route to Zhaoyang Heavenly Sect. Zhaoyang Tianzong, like most powerful sects, operated a city near the sect, named after the word Zhaoyang in the sect, and went to Zhongzhou Mansion, which was very convenient.
Although Yuan Hengbo felt a little strange, he didn't say much, and immediately mobilized people to find clues. This matter is much more difficult to do, and after a few days, there is still no clue. However, while Su Aotian and the others were waiting nervously, Yuan Hengbo suddenly brought someone over, which shocked Su Aotian and his party, and also brought them bad news!
Shui Qingrou told them that she and Lian Qiongyu were indeed coerced and taken away by the disciples of Zhaoyang Heavenly Sect, and there were several cultivators among them, and she and Lian Qiongyu couldn't resist at all. They were very polite to them, and did not offend them except to restrict their freedom. On the way, Lu Xiaodong caught up and had a fierce fight with them, and she saw with her own eyes that Lu Xiaodong was already seriously injured and was under siege!
