Chapter 697: Northern Border Mediation Ambassador
"The Taofu Academy and the Immortal Alliance have always turned a blind eye to the fact that you, Mo Shuangshan, have made a magical spear weapon that can be used by mortals.
On the one hand, although this magic weapon is the same between immortals and mortals, if it falls into the hands of a mortal, it is impossible to wield it as skillfully as a cultivator.
On the other hand, this matter involves the Hongyan Society."
In the main hall of the Mo Shuang Mountain sect, the inspector from the Tao Fu Court was rebuked by Old Jiang. He was probably feeling unhappy at the moment, so he spoke more directly.
He said to Lao Jiang very frankly:
"Although the disciples of Tongtianfang have been trying to cover up the matter, this cannot change the fact that Hongyan Club has become the largest black market in Kumu Territory. In addition, my Taofu Academy also needs this channel to control the movements of evil practitioners, so things have become what they are today.
The magic spear you made was bought and hoarded by someone more than half a year ago. At that time, I had someone in Taofu Academy tracking this matter, but we didn't get much.
There must be someone obstructing this.
In the words of my Immortal Chan Yi, a great change is about to happen and demons are rampant.
You, Mo Shuangshan, also had a rough time in the chaos of the West Sea. I think there are some things that you shouldn't know, but you already know them clearly.
I won't say any more.
I came here today to resolve the conflict between humans and demons in the North, and to suppress it before it causes a greater disaster."
Seeing that Lao Jiang was about to open his mouth to refute, the Taofuyuan Supervisor pointed to the sky and said in a louder voice:
“This is also what the two from Tongtian Mountain meant. When the conflict in the northern border started, the two Dao Ancestors summoned Chan Yi Xian Zun to Tongtian Mountain to discuss the matter.
As the great master on the other side said, this is a matter of cause and effect, so we should look for the cause from the effect and solve it from the root."
The supervisor waved his sleeves and said to Lao Jiang and Shi Yan in a tone of conveying instructions:
"It is not easy to both properly cease fire and resolve the conflict between humans and monsters on the border. As for the human countries, our Taofu Academy will mediate. Yesterday, a special envoy from the Taofu Academy and local supervisors went to the capitals of the countries.
As for the monsters in Zhufengyuan, you, Mo Shuangshan, have to take action to stop the monsters from fighting, so as to avoid causing disasters to the living beings."
"The Supervisory Commission and Taofu Court have the greater good in mind. I, Mo Shuangshan, admire them very much."
Boss Jiang didn't say anything, and Shi Yan, the second-generation leader sitting next to him, asked first:
"But why do you want me, Mo Shuangshan, to mediate the war between the demons? My sect has no relationship with the demons of the northern border. If you must say, there are still some disputes between me and the demons of the northern border that have not been settled.
I can be magnanimous and ignore the several big monsters I killed when I was traveling. I can also put aside the bullying of my disciples by other monsters and set an example of serving the public.
But considering the revengeful nature of the demon tribe in the northern border, I am afraid that as soon as I arrive in the northern border, the Great Bull Demon Saint on the Handi Mountain will come and capture me personally.
I am a person who will not suffer any loss. If a fight really breaks out, I will show no mercy in order to protect myself.
You, Taofuyuan, monitor the world, how could you not know these old grudges?
How can this be called mediation? "
Shi Yan put down the teacup gracefully and said in a long tone:
"Asking Mo Shuangshan to do this, isn't that just adding fuel to the fire?"
Yo.
I didn't see it.
After his foolish master became the head of the sect, his eloquence became better and better. His sharp tongue resembled that of Old Jiang when he was acting like a rogue.
However, in the face of Shi Yan's apparent questioning, the supervisor of Taofu Court was actually evading responsibility. His expression remained unchanged, and it was obvious that he came prepared.
He bowed to Shi Yan and said:
“Don’t worry about this, Mo Jun . When I came here, Immortal Chan Yi had already told me that it’s not just the entire Mo Shuang Mountain that will go to Zhu Fengyuan in the northern border to mediate the demon disaster.
This important task must naturally be done by a special person.
The mediator chosen by Chan Yi Xian Zun was Mo Jun's disciple, Jiang Xia Jiang Ziheng, who was very famous in the Western Sea of the Southern Wasteland. "
The inspector laughed twice and looked back at Boss Jiang who was frowning.
Perhaps because he had won back a point from this sharp-tongued monk, a smile appeared on the cold-faced inspector's face. He coughed twice and said loudly:
“My Immortal Master said that cultivator Jiangxia is a virtuous person, and he is blessed with good fortune. He is destined to turn misfortune into fortune. He also has extraordinary wisdom and can turn the impossible into the possible, and make a shocking reversal in desperate situations.
He is a top-notch genius among the younger generation of cultivators.
Looking at the orthodox Immortal Alliance, among the thirty-three sects, no one is more suitable to be the mediator than Master Jiang. Moreover, we all know that since the demon saint Xiaofeng was imprisoned in the Demon Tower after he became a demon, his original dojo Zhufengyuan has been in chaos for two hundred years.
This dispute between humans and demons in the northern border may seem accidental, but it is actually inevitable as this chaos continues. If the demons in Zhufengyuan are not controlled, even if today's incident is resolved, similar things will happen in the future.
How can we monks do things by simply treating the symptoms instead of the root cause?
Now that we have made up our minds to resolve the conflict, in addition to mediation, the root cause of the trouble must also be dealt with properly.
Solve the problem at its root.”
After he finished speaking, the entire sect hall fell silent. Shi Yan frowned and thought carefully. Tao Fuyuan's words were very beautiful. No matter from which angle you look at it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
Old Jiang frowned even deeper.
He found that he seemed to have been tricked by old man Mo Chanyi. After more than ten breaths, Boss Jiang decided to test it out. He snorted and looked as if he didn't quite understand.
With a puzzled tone, he asked the Taofuyuan Supervisor in front of him:
"I don't quite understand what the supervisor said. Bridging the conflict is a good thing, and resolving the conflict from the root is also a mature and prudent thing to do, but why must I go?
This cultivator is a pure human being and has no monster blood in his body.
Since I started practicing, I haven't had much contact with monsters. Could it be that I have some strange magical power that I haven't discovered yet, which can make the monsters bow down to me and obey my orders?
No way? "
As soon as this question was asked, a light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the inspector in front of him, and he showed an expression that said "I finally waited for your question."
He played with a string of rosary beads on his wrist in a very graceful manner. He looked at Lao Jiang for a few breaths, then said in a leisurely tone:
"So, Daoist Fellow Jiang thinks that the claim that Tao Fu Yuan is monitoring the world is an exaggeration? Daoist Fellow, you are doubting the strength of Tao Fu Yuan, right?
Then I have two questions for you, fellow Taoist.
Does your Taoist companion, Monk Ruyue, have demon blood? What is the origin of your guardian spirit beast Liu Hui? Daoyou said that he has not had any contact with demons since he started practicing, and we believe it.
But your karma with the North was established long ago.
Fellow Daoist Jiang, just because our Taofu Academy doesn't want to expose these things doesn't mean we don't know about them.
The Immortal Chan Yi said that if the evil of Zhufengyuan is to be resolved, it depends on you, fellow Taoist. This is not a casual remark. When we do things, we will never send innocent people to die.
Since I've chosen you to go to the North, it means I'm sure you have the ability to resolve the trouble there.
Therefore, fellow Taoist, please do not shirk your responsibilities, and even more so, do not belittle yourself. Ever since the incident in the Southern Wilderness, you have already been the focus of attention in my Taofu Courtyard.
To say something unpleasant.
If it weren't for the Chan Yi Immortal Venerable who was forbidding us to interfere with your cultivation and fate, I'm afraid we would have invited you to Tao Fu Yuan to have a few cups of tea and chat a long time ago."
At this point, the cold-faced inspector twirled his beard, nodded slightly to the two people in the hall, and shook the whisk in his arms, saying:
"I have said all that needs to be said, and I have finished my role as a villain. I will take my leave now. The matter in the northern border is important and cannot be delayed any longer. Brother Jiang Daoist must leave as soon as possible.
The fight between humans and demons should be resolved as soon as possible, so that the situation in Kumu Realm can be maintained."
After saying this, the Supervisor performed the monk etiquette to Shi Yan and Lao Jiang, stepped out of the hall, and summoned a auspicious cloud, which slowly carried him beyond the sea of clouds and sky.
Only Shi Yan and Lao Jiang were left in the hall.
The second generation female Mo Jun watched the people from Tao Fuyuan leave. She glanced at her own apprentice and said worriedly:
"I think you should not go for this matter.
Firstly, the situation of the demon tribe in the northern border is chaotic. The Wind-Chasing Plain has been in turmoil for two hundred years and has become a lawless place.
Secondly, there is still a bounty for you in the Blood Killing Palace. I asked someone to find out about it. Although the Blood Killing Palace Master, Yin Sumei, the Great Master of the Sea of Bitterness, has not come out of seclusion, the elite soldiers in his palace have already accepted the bounty.
Those assassins 'employed' by the Immortal Alliance are all very skilled, and I really don't feel comfortable letting my brother go there alone."
Shi Yan, uh, according to the rules of Mo Shuang Mountain, she should now be called "Mo Yan", just like the former leader Mo Lan, who had to abandon her original surname after taking over the position of Mo Jun.
She said to Lao Jiang:
"I'll do this for you.
It just so happens that the Taoist temple of my good friend Mrs. Bai is right here in Zhufengyuan.
Although my good friend does not like to get involved in these power struggles and only likes to search for handsome male favorites for pleasure all over the world, her cultivation level is there, and she is also considered a powerful person in the North.
With her help, it won’t be too difficult to suppress the chaos in Zhufengyuan.”
"Um?"
When Lao Jiang heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said in a strange tone:
"Sister, why are all your close friends so abnormal?"
"What do you mean by abnormal?"
Shi Yan's eyes widened, she raised the jade ruyi in her hand, pretending to hit, and snorted again, saying:
"My good friend, Madam Bai Wen, is a true vixen, born with the power of seduction. So what if she seduces a few ignorant men?
This is the path of spiritual practice for others.
If you talk nonsense in front of her, be careful that she will sneak into your bed in the middle of the night and wreak havoc on you, sucking all your yang energy and turning you into a useless person."
"Is there such a good thing?"
Old Jiang laughed in a very frivolous way, and when he saw that the head sister was about to get angry again, he waved his hand, changed the subject with a serious face, and no longer dwelled on the orthodox practice of the fox spirits.
He said to Shi Yan:
"Although the Taofuyuan people spoke in a roundabout way, they were indeed right.
My "destiny" with the North was established a long time ago. Whether it was the life stories of Ruyue and Liu Hui, or the grudges between Hanhan, Sanbao and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, they would force me to go to the North sooner or later.
I originally planned to wait a little longer, but since the incident happened in Zhufengyuan, there is no need to wait any longer. I can take this opportunity to go there.
Do everything you should and shouldn’t do.”
Lao Jiang flexed his fingers, looked up at the sky again, grinned and said to Shi Yan:
"As for the danger, it's already this time. I've seen everything I should and shouldn't have seen. It's impossible to withdraw. Sister can protect me in the mountains for a while.
Could it be that after the Lord of the Wilderness breaks the seal, my sister can still protect me?
The only thing we can do now is to speed up our pace as much as possible while this situation can still be maintained.
Things outside the region are progressing steadily.
All the causes and effects in this Ku Mu realm have come to an end. Don't worry, sister. I am no longer the weak and embarrassed person I was back then. I have confidence now.
Even if there is a bitter sea blocking the way, it is not impossible to fight it. "
"Talking about the past makes you look old."
Shi Yan sighed, took a few steps forward, reached out and touched Jiang Xia's cheek, she said softly:
"It has only been a little over a year since you started practicing. This Kumu Realm was not like this before, and I never thought that things would deteriorate to this extent.
It’s just like when you, my brother, started practicing, this world that had been peaceful for five hundred years suddenly became unfamiliar.
You are really a natural troublemaker."
"You hate me now?"
Jiang Xia shrugged, held Shi Yan's fingers, and said:
"It's too late to return the goods. The savior of this world failed five hundred years ago, so now Kumu Realm can only make do with a troublemaker like me."
