Chapter Seventy-Two: House Arrest
Liu Tian used his spiritual sense to say to "Liu Mang", "Don't mention it to anyone who has been here, you must remember it, go back quickly." He didn't want his son to be involved in the disappearance of the Spirit Tree.
Liu Tian asked "Liu Mang" and Xiaopeng to return to Liu Mang's residence first, he originally wanted his son to spy on Xiaopeng, but he never found out that his beloved son had been replaced by someone's soul.
Liu Tian waited until "Liu Mang" and Xiaopeng left the entrance of the cave, he pointed at Liu Qian and Liu Shen and said sharply, "The Six Spirit Fruit Tree is the treasure of this family, but it was stolen by the two of you because of dereliction of duty, so you should apologize with death!"
Liu Tian decided to force the two of them to commit suicide to pay for the theft of the Spirit Tree.
However, as soon as the two of them heard that the patriarch had given them the order to commit suicide, how could they be willing to die? Because they felt that they were very wronged, if it weren't for Liu Mang's arrival, how could they leave the Spirit Tree for half a step? They wanted to defend themselves. even said in unison, "Patriarch, if it weren't for Liu Mang, we would ......", the two of them said this, they couldn't make any sound anymore, because Liu Tian had already used the big hand formed by the spiritual sense to choke their throats like lightning, and with a slight force, the two of them had round eyes, their heads were crooked, and they lost their breath, and their souls were shattered by Liu Tian's mana, and they couldn't have imagined that the patriarch who usually treated them like confidants would let their souls fly away.
Liu Tian put their bodies back to the location of the Spirit Tree in the cave, creating the scene where the two were killed by the tree thieves. Only then did he exit the cave, and after flying up the cliff, he summoned the personnel who had inspected the back mountain that day, and asked and explained what he had done. Then he went to his father's cave of the old patriarch's cave to discuss the matter with him.
"The theft of the Spirit Tree, don't make a noise, you just need to investigate it in secret, if you really can't find the whereabouts of the Spirit Tree, you'd better give up. After all, the Spirit Tree is not so useful to our family. It is already a miracle that this kind of heaven and earth spiritual object can be kept by our small cultivation family for thousands of years. ”
After Liu Tian went back after discussing with his father, his father's words to him kept echoing in his mind. Although he also thinks that what his father said is reasonable, but the spirit tree was stolen by someone during his time as the patriarch, but this sullen breath is really difficult for him to swallow.
However, on the surface, the turmoil of the theft of the spirit tree passed for a while, and Xiaopeng seemed not to be in a hurry, and he was not depressed because of house arrest, and lived under the arrangement of "Liu Mang". From time to time, he went to "Liu Mang" to inquire about some news, but he never revealed a trace of the whereabouts of the spirit tree to "Liu Mang".
Xiaopeng lived in the Liu family with peace of mind, but "Liu Mang" was extremely unhappy in his heart. Can he be happy? Xiaopeng, who knows the details of his identity, dangles in front of him all day long, which has become a great hidden danger to the security of his identity.
How could "Liu Mang" let Xiaopeng, a person who knew his details, be in the family? He felt that he had to find a way to let Xiaopeng leave the Liu family as much as possible, and it was best not to appear in front of him forever, so that he could be his eldest young master with peace of mind.
He went to beg Liu Tian, and on the grounds that Xiaopeng was his good brother and did not steal the spirit tree, he begged his father to let Xiaopeng leave and return to the sect.
However, Liu Tian also rejected "Liu Mang's" request on the grounds that the whereabouts of the spirit tree were still unknown, Xiaopeng had not cleared the suspicion, and the family was still investigating the matter.
"Liu Mang" saw that his "father" tone was resolute, and knew that things could be done, so he gave up persuasion and faced Xiaopeng depressed every day.
Let's say that when Yue Ling found that the puppy with Liu Mang's soul was missing, and knew that things were not good, Xiaopeng might be trapped in the Liu family, and hurriedly followed Xiaopeng's instructions to return to Yuanzong to ask Ziyang Zhenren for help, he encountered a great problem.
Because she entered the Guiyuan Sect before and left the Guiyuan Sect, she was all in the jade pendant, which was basically a smuggling, so the mountain patrol personnel didn't know her at all, how could it be possible to let a monk of unknown origin and unknown identity enter the Guiyuan Sect?
When she mentioned that she was friends with Zhu Xiaopeng and came only to ask Ziyang Zhenren for help, she was even more regarded as a joke, because she had never seen her and Xiaopeng together. It's just that she is looking for a reason to enter the Guiyuan Sect with a bad intention, so she has not been able to agree to let her in, and she has no intention of passing on the message to Ziyang Zhenren for her, and wants to expel her from the vicinity of the Guiyuan Sect.
Yue Ling saw that the mountain patrol staff didn't listen to her explanation at all and didn't let herself in, she wanted to forcibly break in, but remembering that this was the sect where Xiaopeng was located, she couldn't act recklessly, so she had to leave the Guiyuan Sect temporarily.
But after all, Yue Ling was in a hurry for Xiaopeng, so she didn't stay away, just in the direction of the sect leading to Fang City, she thought that there would definitely be a Guiyuan Sect monk to go shopping in Fang City, and finally she waited until the two Guiyuan Sect female cultivators went to Fang City to shop, she showed up and told the story of Zhulinju Xiaopeng being trapped in the Liu family, hoping that they would pass the news to Ziyang Zhenren, and the two female cultivators also agreed to her request. It was only after they went shopping in Fang Market that they returned to the sect to spread the news to Ziyang Zhenren, so they missed a lot of time. Yue Ling went to the vicinity of the Liu family in advance, waiting for the arrival of Ziyang Zhenren.
As soon as Ziyang Zhenren heard the news that Xiaopeng was trapped in the Liu family, he was very anxious, and he didn't care whether the news was true or not, and the imperial sword went straight to the Liu family.
When he came to the Liu family, he didn't care about the rules or not, he broke in directly, because his cultivation was too high, and his momentum was extremely scary, so when he broke into the Liu family, almost no one dared to stop him, but he just ran quickly to report to Liu Tian.
"Oh, isn't this Ziyang Daoyou? I haven't seen him for more than a hundred years, and his demeanor is really better than in the past!" Liu Tian was stunned when he saw that the monk who broke in was his old friend Ziyang Zhenren, and thought to himself, why did he get the news so quickly when he had just placed his apprentice under house arrest. But on the surface, it seemed that he hadn't seen his old friend for many years, and he was very excited, so he walked up to Ziyang Zhenren and hugged his fists and complimented.
"Don't come here like this, don't you, the patriarch of the Liu family, no longer take me Guiyuan Sect in your eyes?" Ziyang Zhenren glared at Liu Tiandao angrily.
"How can you say this, Daoyou? Who doesn't know that the Guiyuan Sect is the largest sect in the local area, and no matter how high my heart is, I don't dare not take the Guiyuan Sect in my eyes! Besides, we have been friends for many years, don't you still know who I am?" Liu Tian's face was unhappy, and he pretended to be puzzled and said to Ziyang Zhenren.
"Since that's the case, hurry up and hand over my apprentice, and I'll let you go for the sake of our old friends for many years, otherwise I have to tear down your Liu family just now!" Ziyang Zhenren said to Liu Tian angrily.
"Calm your anger!Ziyang Daoyou, you may have misunderstood, how dare I imprison your high feet in the family, even if you lend me ten guts, I won't dare!" Liu Tian was shocked in his heart, but said to Ziyang Zhenren with an innocent face.
He knows his old friend too well, and it's normal usually, but when something doesn't go his way, his temper sometimes seems extremely irritable, and once he goes crazy, he will really do extreme things, so he immediately shows a very innocent appearance, in order to reduce Ziyang Zhenren's anger.
"Hugh has to quibble, I have received reliable information, my apprentice Zhu Xiaopeng has been imprisoned by you, take me to see him immediately, if he is missing a hair, I will destroy your Liu family. Ziyang Zhenren was cold to Liu Tianzhen, and he didn't save face for him at all. But he didn't know if the news was true, but he could only take it as true and deceive Liu Tian.
"Ziyang Daoyou, a few days ago, I caught a monk who infiltrated my family and tried to misbehave, but I don't know what his identity is, since Daoyou keeps saying that he is your apprentice, then I will let someone bring him over, you recognize it, if it is really your apprentice, then I will definitely release him unconditionally and bow to you. Liu Tian saw that Ziyang Zhenren was too angry to resist, and he suddenly thought of an idea with a roll of his eyes.
"Take me to recognize it" Ziyang Zhenren was surprised to hear that there was really a monk imprisoned, and offered to admit it himself.
But how could Liu Tian let Ziyang Zhenren go?
immediately persuaded, "Fellow Daoist, you don't have to be in a hurry, it's better to wait here for a while, and I will order someone to bring him over immediately." ”
Ziyang Zhenren hesitated for a moment, and then stopped insisting. Liu Tian hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to serve tea.
Liu Tian ordered his henchmen to immediately mention the imprisoned monk, and although his henchmen were puzzled, they immediately agreed. Liu Tian used his spiritual sense to confess a few words to his henchmen at this time, of course, Ziyang Zhenren did not find out about their spiritual knowledge exchange.
It didn't take long for his henchmen to bring a young monk who had been sealed and cultivated to Liu Tian and Ziyang Zhenren. The monk's face was a little pale and he looked extremely uneasy, he glanced at Ziyang Zhenren and Liu Tian, and immediately lowered his head and said nothing.
The monk in front of him was just Liu Tian's henchman who followed Liu Tian's instructions and temporarily made a cameo, trying to hide from the world and deceive Ziyang Zhenren.
"Ziyang Daoyou, the person has been brought, do you think he is your favorite disciple?" Liu Tian said to Ziyang Zhenren with some flattery.
"Hmph, you shouldn't be fooling me, he's not my apprentice at all!" Ziyang Zhenren didn't need Liu Tian to say, he had already seen the person who came clearly, and an angry look appeared on his face again.
"Fellow Daoist Ziyang, this is indeed the monk I just caught a few days ago, and no other monk has come to our family recently. Liu Tian still said with a smile.
Although Ziyang Zhenren was furious in his heart, it was not good to go too far, after all, the news was not necessarily true, and if he misunderstood, it would also embarrass him" There is no evidence that Xiaopeng was imprisoned in the Liu family at the moment, do you really want to turn the Liu family upside down and search it thoroughly?"
Ziyang Zhenren really doesn't know what to do, is he really going to dismantle the Liu family? That's just his momentary angry words, the demolition of the Liu family is not just his own business, it is a major matter of the sect, and he must obtain the consent of the sect, and he can't do it alone.
But if you don't dismantle it, what should you do about Xiaopeng's safety?
After thinking about it, Ziyang Zhenren felt that it would be safer to go back to the sect and ask the head Zifeng Zhenren what to do next.
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly, "Hmph, if my apprentice is really imprisoned by you, just wait for the Liu family to be wiped out." ”
After Ziyang finished speaking, the sleeves of the Taoist robe flicked, and without looking at Liu Tian, the imperial sword flew towards the sect.
