Star Trace Gate

Chapter 739: The Righteous Lady Tianlong

Long Yuqing originally thought that the immortal master of Xianlan Sect came to visit, probably to encircle and suppress the Ligui Sect. After all, the assassination of the city lord today was indeed a big commotion. This move not only despised the Long family in the world of ordinary people, but was also equivalent to shitting on the neck of Xianlan Sect. Uncle can tolerate it, but aunt can't tolerate it anymore.

However, he did not expect that the immortal master of the Xianlan Sect did not come for this matter, but to find his good brother.

Why is this?

After he returned from the assassination, he had been socializing and recuperating from his injuries. Although he had noticed the anomaly in Xingshan, he didn't know that the Xianlan Sect had been deprived of its opportunity. So when he saw a fifth-grade immortal master coming to find his good brother, he instinctively had an ominous premonition.

He blinked his big cautious eyes, first glanced at the old immortal master, and then stole a glance at his brother-in-law.

Today, Yang Jia Erlang was captured by the Ghost Sect. Whether he was to be killed or cut, whether he was to be threatened, there was no news until now. This made the eldest brother-in-law extremely irritable and depressed. He was like a mad dog, and he didn't like anyone. After returning at night, he had lost his temper countless times.

At this moment, if the old immortal master of Xianlan Sect had not come here, he would never have been able to accompany Long Yuqing to meet the guests at this time.

"Why do you suddenly want to look for those six visitors?" Long Yuqing showed a surprised expression and asked tentatively.

At the same time, he immediately sent a message to his eldest brother-in-law and asked, "Why did this old man take Brother Zigui and the others away?"

Yang Mingtang woke up from his daze, frowned, and replied concisely: "I asked before I came here. People in the sect said that when the Xingshan Mansion was established, one seed was given to each plot of land. Almost all the famous families in the Jiuli Continent got the blood mark, but the Xianlan Sect didn't get it. After the red light entered the tide dragon, it suddenly dissipated. The people of the Xianlan Sect are investigating who robbed the opportunity of the sect master's disciple Chu Jin. And they think that your brother Zigui is very suspicious. If he gets the opportunity, the Wuchen Sect Master wants to invite him to the Xianlan as a guest, and have a fair fight with Chu Jin in the martial arts arena to finally decide who should get the opportunity of the emperor."

After hearing the response from his brother-in-law, Long Yuqing was shocked. He never expected that such a big thing would happen outside when he was just resting in his room.

However, the Xianlan Sect was able to conclude that Chu Jin's opportunity was taken away and was related to Ren Ye, which also indirectly showed that his vision was still good. And brother Zigui must have lied just now, he was most likely the one who triggered the Xingshan Red Tide this time.

"The sect master has invited the six visitors, and I don't know the reason." The immortal master of Xianlan Sect naturally would not tell the other party his intentions truthfully. He only replied vaguely and ordered: "Little city master, you should quickly invite the six visitors and let me take them away."

It’s over, something big is going to happen!

When Long Yuqing heard the other party's tone, he knew in his heart that this brother Zigui might really be in big trouble.

Although the previous incident of them beating up Prime Minister Turtle had damaged the reputation of the Xianlan Sect, as long as he was a little tougher, he could have blocked it for them.

The reason is very simple. My Long family has been stigmatized for plundering the people's wealth for generations, and has served as "dogs" for your Xianlan Sect for so many years. Are we not as good as a disciple of the menial school?

Long Yuqing understood this principle, and the Taoist priest in charge of the chores department understood it even better. So he would not pursue the matter at all, let alone report it to the elders of the sect. Such behavior would only make him look very stupid and have no emotional intelligence.

But today's situation is completely different.

The opportunity of the emperor can determine the future of the Xianlan Sect and whether they can give birth to a supreme god who can completely dominate the Jiuli Continent.

In the face of absolute interests, all that talk of immortality and being as otherworldly as an immortal are just rhetoric in books to fool nerds.

Why did the Jade Emperor get angry with a little Bi Ma Wen? Was it because he had amazing magical powers and refused to obey his orders?

Shit!

It was because the Monkey King, who knew nothing of the "heaven is high and the earth is deep", said arrogantly: "The emperor takes turns, and this year it's my turn!"

The Buddha talked about cause and effect and claimed to save people with Buddhist teachings. Then why didn't he recite the Buddhist scriptures when he had no grudge against the monkey, but just raised his hand and suppressed the monkey for five hundred years?

In the battle of conferred gods, the Chan and Jie sects competed against each other, and the world was full of bones, but how many people were finally conferred gods? Who gave the name of "god" to those common people who were chopping and killing?

Why was there a war of gods? To put it nicely, it was because the two doctrines were incompatible. To put it bluntly, it was a question of who was taking someone else's cake.

Therefore, this also applies to the high-ranking immortals of the Xianlan Sect. What a bullshit fair fight, what the final decision on who will get the chance to be the emperor, these are all forced to save face, and they are polite words to pretend to be a whore and a saint.

Every month, Long Yuqing would load the money he extorted from the people onto a series of heavily loaded horse-drawn carriages and send them all the way to the fairy mountain.

He really knows the faces of these immortals too well.

In a word, if Ren Ye went to Xianlan Sect, he would definitely not win. Xianlan Sect would not lose face for the second time when Chu Jin did not get the opportunity, and would not be able to raise his head in front of all the ancient sects.

This most outstanding disciple was not chosen by the Great Emperor in the first place, but he went back and found someone with an opportunity to fight, and he didn't even beat him?!

is it possible?

Can you lose this face?

Absolutely not!

Therefore, Ren Ye's journey must be full of dangers. If the fight for the blood lead also requires killing people to rob, then he will definitely not be able to get down the mountain alive.

At this moment, he only has two choices: one is to sell out Ren Ye, please the Xianlan Sect, and make a great contribution, but he will definitely offend Ren Ye's unknown and powerful sect; the other is to offend the Xianlan Sect and secretly protect Zigui and his brothers...

But this second option seems unprofitable no matter how you look at it.

This series of thoughts, although slow to speak, actually just flashed through Long Yuqing's mind very quickly.

The hall was quiet. Long Yuqing looked at the fifth-rank immortal master of Xianlan Sect in astonishment. He replied with a slightly stiff and stupid expression, "Xun Xianshi, you... you are a step late."

"What do you mean?" Immortal Master Xun immediately raised his snow-white eyebrows, his face showing anger.

Long Yuqing looked at him with a slightly panicked expression and said, "Old Immortal Master, you may not know that the six visitors have been living in the city for more than a month. If I hadn't tried my best to keep them and invited them to watch the ancestral worship ceremony together, they would have left long ago."

"After the assassination today, they probably felt that this place was a bit chaotic, so they came here to say goodbye to me half an hour ago and left in a hurry."

"Those six visitors saved my life today. Their backgrounds, knowledge and abilities are quite impressive. I wanted to force them to stay as guests in my house and promised to give them a generous salary. But who would have thought that they insisted on leaving..."

“I thought that this forced melon is not sweet, so I rewarded them with some star sources and let them leave with the clearance order.”

Long Yuqing explained it in detail, and then asked: "Master, why are you looking for these six people?"

"brush!"

When Long Yuqing said that the six people had already left, Xun Xianshi actually lost his patience to continue listening to him. He suddenly stood up and asked in a stern voice, "You said they came to say goodbye half an hour ago?"

"That's right." Long Yuqing looked at him with suggestive eyes and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "And he left in a hurry, not even wanting to stay for one night."

When Master Xun heard this, he showed a very anxious expression on his face, and concluded in his heart: "Among these people, someone must have obtained the opportunity to become an emperor, otherwise they would never leave in such a hurry! Oh, I'm a step too late, a step too late!"

He suddenly looked at Long Yuqing: "If we order the Chaolong Guards to catch up, will it be too late? And, did those people say whether they are leaving Jiuli Continent or traveling to other regions after this farewell?"

"They said they wanted to leave Jiuli Continent and travel to other secret realms." Long Yuqing showed an embarrassed expression of an old woman, stood up tremblingly, bent her waist, and asked tentatively: "What...what happened?! Why did the old sect leader insist on inviting them? I...I let them stay in my house for a few days...Will this...Will this cause any trouble?"

Immortal Master Xun looked at Long Yuqing, who was completely weak, and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just turned his head and ordered Yang Mingtang: "Quickly mobilize the Chaolong City Guards, go out from the four city gates, and chase these six people overnight. Make sure that the Chaolong Iron Cavalry can trample all the lands that have escaped from the five cities of Xianlan! In other words, I want to see these six people alive or dead!"

He looked at Yang Mingtang sharply and said, "These six people are related to the opportunity of becoming the Great Emperor. Naturally, our Xianlan Sect will not let them go. Sir Xiao Yang, I hope you can understand the importance of this matter."

Yang Mingtang was extremely panicked at the moment, his palms were full of cold sweat.

He knew clearly in his heart that his brother-in-law might have lost his mind again. He actually dared to tell such a big lie to the Taoist priest of Xianlan Sect. He didn't know what kind of trick he was up to.

The thoughts of smart people may be predictable, but the brain circuits of stupid people are as unpredictable as the laws of nature.

However, at this critical juncture, it was impossible for him to expose his brother-in-law and bring disaster to the Long and Yang families.

Yang Mingtang immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Master, rest assured. I will send out 20,000 Chaolong cavalry to search along the way and ensure that not even a mosquito can fly out."

"Among those six people, one must have obtained the opportunity to become a great emperor. If so, they would not have given up the opportunity and escaped from Jiuli Continent." Immortal Master Xun reacted quickly, with his hands behind his back and a cold face, saying, "I will also return to the sect and order three thousand disciples to go down the mountain and seal off the entire Xianlan Five Cities. In half an hour, I want to see where you can run to?!"

"brush!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his upright figure gradually blurred in the inner hall and turned into a wisp of air, which left in a very imposing manner.

The eldest brother-in-law showed a murderous look, glanced at Long Yuqing coldly, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Come with me!"

Soon, the two of them walked into a secret room with an isolation formation. The eldest brother-in-law yelled angrily, "Did the people from the Li Gui Sect eat your brain? ! ! You are as stupid as a donkey! Why did you lie to the Immortal Master of the Xianlan Sect? Aren't you asking for big trouble?!"

"I have my own ideas about this matter..." Long Yuqing replied with a dull expression, sniffing the snot that was flowing from his nose due to excessive nervousness.

"???!! How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to have your own ideas with your wisdom!" The eldest brother-in-law was furious: "Didn't you listen to what Taoist Xun said?! Three thousand disciples went down the mountain to search for these six people... This has not happened for many years. Isn't it enough to show the importance of this matter?"

"Now that you've lied, how are you going to make it up later?!"

"Brother, I have to go see Brother Zigui now, so I don't have time to explain too much to you. Remember, this matter is handled by you and me together. If the news leaks out, our whole family will be finished." Long Yuqing replied with a cowardly and stubborn look.

"Are you fucking threatening me?!" The brother-in-law cursed in a hurry.

"Notify the night watchman at the west city gate and have him secretly create the illusion that the six people have left. Within half an hour, the people from the Xianlan Sect will definitely go to verify it." After Long Yuqing gave this instruction, he walked out: "I'll go see Brother Zigui first."
