In the world of cultivating immortals, all powerful sects will set up rudders in some important places, and the purpose is naturally self-evident, one is to consolidate their sphere of influence, and the other is to compete for more immortal cultivation resources.

Although Baishui City belongs to the Bai family and the Liu family, in fact, because of the relationship between the Sanssouci River, it has become a place where the seven major sects of the Song Kingdom are fighting each other to fight openly and secretly for the right to use the Sanssouci River.

To put it bluntly, the Liu family and the Bai family in Baishui City are just vassals, but the real power is in the hands of the seven major sects of the Song Kingdom, which also creates a scene where the righteous and evil monks in Baishui City can enter and exit at will.

As early as more than 500 years ago, Cangnan and Cangbei had reached an agreement that Baishui City did not belong to any of the seven major sects, but belonged to a place jointly managed by the seven major sects.

It is conceivable that in a world where good and evil are opposed, there is such a place where good and evil can enter, and this place is destined to not be peaceful, it can be said to be a microcosm of the struggle between good and evil, and the complexity of the environment is unimaginable.

But Zhan Feng chose such a place for the trial, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

After a long struggle, Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi finally made their way through the crowd and came to the open space in front of the Kaiyang Sect's rudder building.

After all, Kaiyang Sect is the third largest sect of the Song Kingdom, and the rudder in Baishui City is also built very luxuriously, from the scale of the building alone, it is enough to compare with the five major deacon halls of the outer gate of Kaiyang Sect, the atmosphere is majestic and majestic, and the carved beams and paintings are also exquisite, no matter what direction you look at, it highlights the arrogance of the third major sect of Kaiyang Sect.

Of course, it looks magnificent, like the rudder of other sects, but it is actually a relatively comprehensive large-scale shop, and like ordinary shops, in addition to showing the prestige of the sect, it is a place to sell and purchase immortal cultivation items, and it is also a place for high-level cultivators of the Kaiyang Sect network to collect intelligence.

After looking carefully for a while, Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi tidied up their clothes, they were like children who went out of the house, they were very excited to see the familiar building in front of them, and the nerves that had been tense were also relaxed a lot, for a disciple of the Kaiyang Sect, seeing the rudder of the Kaiyang Sect was equivalent to returning home.

"Huh—why are you two here?"

Suddenly, just when Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi were about to enter the foreign affairs hall to report, they heard a surprised voice and remembered, and when they fixed their eyes, they saw an old man in white carrying a gourd coming out of the crowd, unkempt like a beggar, after Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi shook in front of him, a trace of light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he looked at the two of them with a surprised face.

"Disciple Zhanfeng—"

"Disciple Hua Yuxi——"

"See Lee. ”

Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi were slightly stunned, and after a quick glance at each other, they immediately bowed respectfully and saluted the sloppy old man in front of them.

The old man looked very sloppy, but Zhanfeng and Hua Yuxi knew that this old man with a bad image was the head of the Baishui City branch of the Kaiyang Sect, that is, the leader of the Baishui City rudder, Li Dezhong, the foundation of the Xunmu Palace.

Speaking of which, Li Dezhong is also a strange person, he has been cultivating for sixty years in the Kaiyang Sect but has reached the realm of building the foundation of the ninth grade, and at the same time he is a person who is addicted to alcohol, and he always likes to live in the wind and the moon, so that he wasted a lot of cultivation time, if it were not for this, with his talent, I am afraid that he would not be assigned to the ghost place of Baishui City.

For many monks, Baishui City should be regarded as a very good place to cultivate, but for the foundation building monks of the Kaiyang Sect, this is a barren place, once you are released in the Kaiyang Sect, it means that you have lost the opportunity to compete for the best cultivation resources of the sect, and for many people, being exiled is a very terrible thing.

But Li Dezhong is different, he didn't come to Baishui City because of the release of the Kaiyang Sect, but he took the initiative to come to Baishui City, and his behavior made many people not understand.

"——Come with me, don't go out casually if there is nothing in the future, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and dares to take on tasks that the foundation building monks dare not take on, it seems that you think your life is too long. ”

Li Dezhong thought for a while, picked up the gourd on his waist and took a few sips of wine, shook his head to himself, glanced at Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi, sighed softly, turned around with his hands behind his back, and walked towards the entrance of the rudder with his own words.

"Yes. ”

Seeing Li Dezhong's regretful, pitiful, and mocking expression, Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi couldn't help but bulge in their hearts, and after glancing at each other, they immediately hugged their hands and agreed, and then followed Li Dezhong's footsteps closely and moved towards the entrance of the rudder.

Li Dezhong's words seemed inexplicable, but in fact they were meaningful, especially his mocking tone, which couldn't help but make Zhan Feng and Hua Yuxi secretly frightened, they could feel that this mission was even more dangerous than they expected, and the nerves that the two had just relaxed tightened again, and their hearts were even more uneasy.

"Uncle Shi, please forgive the disciple for trespassing, is there any problem with our mission this time?"

Hua Yuxi and Li Dezhong both belong to Xunmu Palace, and they are more emotionally close, after hesitating for a while, Hua Yuxi walked quickly to Li Dezhong's side and asked Li Dezhong for advice with a sincere face.

was already very entangled in her heart, and after hearing Li Dezhong's mocking words, her heart was even more chaotic, and she couldn't care about the abruptness in desperation.

"—let's go inside. ”

Li Dezhong picked up the gourd and took a sip of wine, his seemingly cloudy eyes glanced around, and in an instant, a trace of seriousness crossed his drunken face, and he glanced at Hua Yuxi and walked forward by himself.

"Yes"

Hua Yuxi's eyebrows frowned slightly, glanced at Zhanfeng, and didn't ask too much, and followed Li Dezhong's steps closely.

Although Li Dezhong's serious expression was only for a moment, Zhanfeng still saw it, and while following Hua Yuxi's pace, he secretly released his divine sense to look at the crowd around him.

It can be seen from Li Dezhong's expression that he seems to be very jealous of one or some people in the crowd.

"Is it someone who has been following you?"

Zhan Feng lowered his head, his face was cold, and his divine sense stared closely at the crowd around him, trying to find the aura that made Li Dezhong jealous, but no matter how carefully he looked, he didn't find any abnormal aura in the crowd around him.

"Could it be that Li Dezhong is pretending?"

Suddenly, Zhan Feng looked up at Li Dezhong, who was swaying, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a trace of doubt in his sharp eyes, this was not Zhan Feng's heart, but Li Dezhong's words were too strange, not to mention the inexplicable coincidence, and vaguely seemed to be reminding Hua Yuxi and him that this mission was a very dangerous mission.

As a person he had never met, why did he do this, was it because Hua Yuxi was a disciple of Xunmu Palace?

After living in the Kaiyang Sect for six years, Zhan Feng naturally knew that the relationship between the five deacon halls of the Kaiyang Sect, Xunmu Hall has always been friendly with Huolin Palace, and this mission was personally arranged by Yue Feng, if there is really any conspiracy in it, Xunmu Hall should also help, from this point of view, Li Dezhong's performance is likely to be a trap.

He did this in order to strengthen his bond with him, so that he could lower his guard against him, and at the same time make himself wary of others, so that his actions would not derail his plans behind him.

If this is the case, Yue Feng's task of arranging himself to investigate Shen Tong is itself a self-centered conspiracy, and there is a third party in this conspiracy, so Shen Tong's disappearance may not be a simple disappearance, and he must have hidden a secret that is enough to arouse the appetite of the Fire Lin Hall and the Xunmu Palace.

"What is it that can mobilize the Fire Lin Hall and the Xunmu Hall to join forces, and even the existence of a third party?"

After combing through the whole thing, Zhan Feng not only did not solve the doubts in his heart, but fell deeper and deeper, and in front of the result of his secret speculation, his heart was even more frightened, and the dangerous aura buried in his heart became heavier and heavier.
