Chapter 925 News
"Yes, Master, it was Gong Yandu and Han Weiqing who framed us. If it weren't for the immortal who rescued us, two disciples would have been eaten by the python." Lan Xin was a burly man with a straightforward and fiery personality. He quickly recounted the whole story from beginning to end with a look of anger on his face.
"It's really cruel!" Zong Yongshi became furious when he heard this and slammed the table and stood up.
Waves of terrifying auras emanated from him, like surging magma, causing the entire space in the hall to become turbulent. The runes on the four walls of the hall were triggered and lit up one by one, releasing forbidden power to suppress the movement caused by the auras.
The power released from the hall suppressed the aura released from Zong Yongshi's body and seemed to cool down his anger.
Zong Yongshi quickly sat back down slowly, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.
"Uncle Zong, now that the truth has been revealed, how are you going to deal with this matter?" Si Shaonan saw that Zong Yong was furious just now, but quickly suppressed his anger and asked after hesitating.
"This matter certainly cannot be let go, but in the end Gao Rixu will probably just pretend to punish Gong Yandu and Han Weiqing lightly. After all, Lan Xin and Mu Ce have returned safely." Zong Yongshi said with a grim expression.
“We were saved by the immortal and saved our lives. They can be punished lightly for framing us, but the Liuhe Qingming Immortal Grass was discovered by me and Junior Brother Mu first, so they should at least give us half of it.” Lan Xin said.
Although she was honest and fiery by nature, she also understood the current situation and knew that her master could not force Gao Rixu to severely punish Gong Yandu and Han Weiqing. However, the Liuhe Qingming Immortal Grass was extremely precious and she had to get some of it back.
Zong Yongshi's expression changed constantly.
Liuhe Qingming Immortal Grass is not only an indispensable ingredient in refining Dao Shou Dan, but if taken, one plant can be equivalent to a Taoist immortal. Moreover, it is the result of eight hundred years of hard practice by a middle-grade Taoist immortal. Not to mention that it is an invaluable elixir for Lan Xin and Mu Ce, it is also extremely precious for Zong Yongshi.
But now the Liuhe Qingming Immortal Grass must have entered Gao Rixu's pocket. How easy would it be to get him to take it out again?
Moreover, after this incident, Gao Rixu should be very clear that even if he gave half of the Liuhe Qingming Immortal Grass to the sect for use, the feud would have been created. In this case, why should he do more?
Zong Yongshi's expression was changing from gloomy to uncertain and he was in a conflicted mood, unable to make up his mind, when a disciple came to report that the pass owner Mo Xiujing and the immortal general Gao Rixu, who guarded the pass, were visiting with Gong Yandu and Han Weiqing.
"They must have heard that our two disciples have returned safely, so they came to visit us hypocritically," Lan Xin said.
Zong Yongshi did not respond to Lan Xin, but stood up and bowed to Qin Ziling and Si Shaonan, saying: "Fellow Daoist Qin, excuse me for a moment. I will go out of the hall to greet the master and have a discussion with them. Shaonan, please help me entertain fellow Daoist Qin."
"Friend Zong, just go and get busy." Qin Ziling bowed in return.
Zong Yongshi returned the gift again, then left with Lan Xin and Mu Ce.
"What's the current situation in the Great Barbarian South China Sea?" Qin Ziling asked Si Shaonan after seeing Zong Yongshi and the other two leaving.
Si Shaonan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that a powerful figure like Qin Ziling would not always stay in Jiuxuan Mountain, and he probably didn't know the current situation of the Great Barbarian South Sea, so he asked this question.
After understanding, Si Shaonan hurriedly replied respectfully: "Teacher, everything is fine in the Great Barbarian South Sea. However, there have been strange phenomena in the Misty Sea in the Jiuxuan Mountain Sea area from time to time recently. Now many people believe that the legend about the return of the Mirage Dragon Palace of the Taoist Primordial God is true.
Therefore, all forces in the Savage Continent are now ready to make a move, and many Taoist immortals have gathered in the sea area of Jiuxuan Mountain. However, due to the reputation of General Yin and Immortal Jinpeng and others, everyone is still very well-behaved and no one dares to cause trouble.
However, once the Mirage Dragon Palace is revealed , people will be tempted by money and will inevitably cause chaos in the Misty Sea in order to fight for the opportunity. Moreover, there is no guarantee that someone in the Great Barbarian South Sea will have second thoughts. If things go wrong, there may be a great chaos in the Jiuxuan Mountain Sea area!"
At the end, Si Shaonan showed a hint of worry.
During the battle at the Juxian Sea, although the Jiuxuan Sect showed extraordinary combat power and Qin Ziling stepped in to force back the Immortal Lord Yuansui, that was based on the premise that the Immortal Lord Yuansui did not dare to attack with all his might. Moreover, later on, the Immortal King Shenglou also stepped in to prevent the situation from escalating further.
Otherwise, if Immortal Lord Yuan Sui really wanted to disregard everything and mobilize all the soldiers in the Immortal Lord's Palace, Si Shaonan did not think that Qin Ziling's side would be able to resist.
After all, there is a top-grade Taoist immortal and many powerful middle- and lower-grade Taoist immortals under the command of Immortal Lord Yuan Sui.
And now, the news that the Mirage Dragon Palace is about to see the light of day again has attracted various forces in the Savage Continent, and even some Taoist immortals from large forces with top-grade Taoist immortals in charge. Once a major battle breaks out, even if the Jiuxuan Sect is powerful and Qin Ziling is a powerful Taoist immortal at the level of Yuansui Immortal Lord, it may be difficult for him to calm the situation.
Even if the Jiuxuan Sect took advantage of its geographical location and people's support to seize the initiative, it would probably be difficult to defend the Mirage Dragon Palace.
Qin Ziling breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Although with the Wuji Sect's hidden strength and the policy of lying low and keeping three burrows, no major accidents would normally happen, he was still somewhat worried as he hadn't been back for more than a thousand years.
"As long as everything is fine! As for the matter of the Mirage Dragon Palace, you don't have to worry about it. The treasures of the world belong to those who are capable. What's more, the Mirage Dragon Palace is located in the sea area of Jiuxuan Mountain, so it is not the turn of others to act wildly and presumptuously." Qin Ziling said.
"With the teacher in charge, the Jiuxuan Mountain sea area will surely be stable. However, people die for money and birds die for food. We must also be on guard against the Taoist immortals who may go crazy with their killing sprees!" Si Shaonan said hurriedly.
Although his words were tactful, they revealed his lack of confidence.
"Of course." Qin Ziling smiled and nodded . He was not annoyed at all that Si Shaonan looked down on him. On the contrary, he valued and appreciated Si Shaonan even more.
Honest advice may hurt, but Si Shaonan was willing to say these words, which clearly showed that he truly stood on Qin Ziling's side.
As the two were talking privately, suddenly, one after the other, they frowned slightly.
"Let's go and take a look!" Qin Ziling said.
"I don't want to trouble you, teacher. I can go on my own." Si Shaonan said hurriedly.
"Since Zong Yongshi is your father's close friend, and you call me teacher, I can't just sit back and watch Zong Yongshi being bullied." Qin Ziling said.
"Thank you, teacher. I heard that Gao Rixu is the disciple of Yuanfu Immortal Lord. Yuanfu Immortal Lord is quite powerful and is said to have some background. I am worried..." When Si Shaonan saw that Qin Ziling was willing to stand up for him, he was touched but also worried.
