Chapter 82: Black Hand?

  At noon, Lihuo Laizu returned with a disciple who caught a man in green Taoist robes using the Suo Xian Index. According to Lihuo Laizu, he discovered someone invading yesterday and left Yingke Mountain to investigate. Later, Gu Lao Mountain was on fire, and he was about to return to rescue when he found someone flying low at night. Following him, he found that the other party was ambushing near Xiaoyun Peak, where Liuli Zhenren was talking to a man in green Taoist robes in the courtyard.

  A sudden change occurred, and the Lüli True Person turned his head. The person in the cyan Daoist robe struck a palm thunder on the abdomen of the Lüli True Person. The Lüli True Person was in extreme pain. That night-traveling person drove a flying sword to immediately take the head of the Lüli True Person. The Wildfire Old Ancestor rushed down, and both sides had several exchanges on the Xiaoyun Peak, so Xiaoyun Peak also left behind the marks of the Wildfire Old Ancestor's true fire burning.

  The person in the cyan Taoist robe was slightly inferior to Lao Zu, but he blocked Lao Zu's path. The Night Walker took the head of Liu Li and immediately fled. Lao Zu used his divine power to injure the person in the cyan Taoist robe, but unexpectedly, the opponent also had some ability and escaped with injuries at a speed like lightning. Lao Zu couldn't catch up and could only turn to chase after the Night Walker's trail. After two hundred miles, he finally caught up with the Night Walker, who was only a beginner in the Golden Elixir realm. He was captured by Lao Zu after just a few exchanges. Lao Zu brought the person back to the mountain, but then he was surrounded by the disciples of the Purple Bamboo Temple's Law Enforcement Elder.

  Zi Yun Zhen Ren looked at his wife's skull, his face turned iron green. Chuan Gong Zhang Lao asked Lie Huo Lao Zu a few questions and then leaned into Zi Yun Zhen Ren's ear, saying: "The Palm Thunder is the most basic defensive technique for entry-level disciples, its power is limited. As Lie Huo Lao Zu said, the opponent's cultivation is quite high, and it was a sneak attack, other divine abilities could have completely killed Liu Li Zhen Ren with one strike, why use the Palm Thunder? Unless it's the Hun Yuan Lei that can directly break through the Dan Tian."

  "Hunyuan Thunder?" Ziyun True Person frowned, Hunyuan Thunder is also a Palm Thunder, cultivators of different five elements usually cultivate their own corresponding Palm Thunder. Although Hunyuan Thunder is also a Palm Thunder, it has a special use, after breaking through the true energy, it can directly attack the target's true yuan location. Mildly, it can make the opponent unable to gather true energy for a short time, and severely, it can directly extinguish the foundation lotus, golden elixir, etc. Ziyun True Person was slightly annoyed: "Isn't this Hunyuan Thunder just Qingping Gate's ultimate technique?"

  The Qingping Gate was originally the Qingping Sect, under the jurisdiction of the Zixiao Temple. However, due to the position of the sect leader, it was eventually defeated by the nine sects of the Zixiao Temple and retreated to Beizhou, where it established the Qingping Gate, which is now the largest Taoist school in Beizhou. For hundreds of years, there has been no contact between the two sides, and when disciples from both sides meet, some disputes may arise. However, since the Qingping Gate joined the Dao-Ma Alliance, there have been no conflicts.

  The elder felt that this matter would not end well and cautiously said: "Don't we still have a way out?"

  ……

  The captured man, after undergoing some torture and still having a lingering affection for the world, finally surrendered. His name was Bai Buzi, and he was a disciple of the Qingping Gate Sword Sect, as well as the fifth direct disciple of the sect's leader. He had a high innate talent. The leader of the Qingping Gate Sword Sect was the grandson of the leader of the Zixiao Temple Qingping Sect. His uncle led everyone in a defeat and retreated to Beizhou, where he established the Qingping Gate. Due to his exceptional talent and diligent practice, he also became the leader of the Sword Sect.

  The Qingping Gate's Jianzong had always been hostile towards the Zixiao Temple, and the sect leader had repeatedly reported to the gate master, requesting that the Zixiao Temple be declared an enemy. However, due to the machinations of the demonic sect, this ultimately did not come to pass. Bai Buzi acknowledged that during the 200th anniversary of the Jianzong sect leader's death, the sect leader had wanted to use the head of the Liu family's daughter, namely Liuli Zhenren, as a sacrificial offering. Thus, Bai Buzi and his two senior brothers snuck into the Zixiao Temple together.

  Because Qingping Gate was familiar with the Zixiao Temple, the three of them easily arrived at the foot of Xiaoyun Peak. Then, the Second Master set a fire to distract the Purple Cloud True Person. The Eldest Master, disguised as a disciple of the Transmission Master, went to Xiaoyun Peak to deliver an order, asking the Luliu True Person to temporarily retreat. Next, the Eldest Master launched a sneak attack on the Luliu True Person, and White Robe took advantage of the opportunity to behead the Luliu True Person with one sword.

  Laozu of the fierce fire appeared, and as soon as the two sides fought, the great senior brother knew he was no match, so he let Bai Buzi lead the way with his head first, but unexpectedly, they were still caught up by Laozu of the fierce fire in the end.

  There is now both human and material evidence. Ziyun True Person, in a fit of rage, wants to execute Bai Buzi. Lihuo Old Ancestor blocks him: "Headmaster, this is human testimony. The Orthodox and Evil have an alliance, and they cannot attack each other. I think we should issue a proclamation to the world, in the name of Zixiao Temple, inviting the masters of various sects to gather together. Then, with both human and material evidence presented, we can first expel Qingping Gate from the Orthodox-Evil Alliance, and then make our move."

  Chuan Gong Lao said, "Although Qingping Gate and Zixiao Hall have not had any dealings with each other, neither side has ever made the first move. How could it be that the wife of the current sect leader and the daughter of the previous sect leader would do so? Whether Bai Buzi is a disciple of Jianzong or not is still unknown, this matter is quite suspicious and requires further investigation."

  Lihuo Laozu bowed his head: "The words of the Transmission Master are reasonable. The Demon Sect's Dragon Palace inspection envoy is here, so why not ask them to go with the Orthodox disciples to explore Beizhou? This will also avoid disputes at that time."

  "Ah, Yun Qing Men and Lei Shan are both orthodox sects. Now they're watching us from the sidelines, laughing at our jokes, and also have some dealings with Qing Ping Men. When the time comes for the meeting, I'm afraid they'll still speak up for Qing Ping Men. Fine, let them go take a look with the demonic cult people."

  Chuan Gong Lao Lao is over 300 years old. As people age, they become more cunning: "The leader, they are external personnel, and need to be invited with a letter."

  "Just let them go."

  Laozu said, "This time the Yunqingmen and Leishan came to the Zixiao Temple are all second-generation disciples, the Demon Sect's Xunlong Palace inspectors, only about fifty or so. The subordinates worry that these people are biased, but the Zixiao Temple sent someone, also afraid they would discuss."

  "How do you see it?"

  "They're all young people, why don't you let my useless disciple travel with them?"

  "All right, if they utter wild words or deliberately shield Qingpingmen, we will also have a say." said Ziyun True Person.

  "Yes!"

  ……

  To go or not to go? Of course, I have to go. This is one of the responsibilities of being a member of the Righteous Demon Alliance. When there are disputes between sects in the alliance, some sects will send people to mediate and avoid internal conflicts between the righteous demon sects. Moreover, the person who invited me is Purple Bamboo Temple's Transmitter of Orthodox Teachings, whose seniority is even higher than that of Qian Yu Zhen Ren, the leader of Bi Yun Qing Sect. I must give him face.

  Who's going?

  Gu Yan said, "The Qingpingmen Sword Sect has its own unique secrets." He was quite interested in going to the Qingpingmen to take a look. The Qingpingmen Sword Sect's high-ranking swordsmen had a special technique similar to Ye Wushuang's scroll, where they could engrave certain techniques onto their swords. When needed, not only could they use their swords to attack and defend, but also drive the techniques, casting them instantly. However, after using the technique, the sword's spiritual energy would need to recover to a certain extent before it could be used again.

  Imagine that even a shallow Thunderbolt Flash Technique, as soon as it is used to flash the opponent first, can gain an overwhelming advantage, and even if you are fleeing from the enemy, it will be much easier. However, this Ling Ke technique requires a lot of time, simply put, it allows the spiritual sword to learn how to use this technique, the process is very complicated, and the Ling Ke technique was also created by the master of Qingping Sect at that time, and it is the only one in the world.
