Truth Will Come to Light Sooner or Later

Chapter 158: Truth cannot be hidden

When Miao Yi heard the news that the Sword Sect had a third Yuanying Sword Immortal, he and Lou He were in Yulun Mountain, where the Tianxin Sect’s dojo was located.

This mountain was not unusual. It was neither tall and steep nor magnificent. It was just a small peak in the remnant of the Qianshan Mountain Range that stretched for thousands of miles to the southwest of Zhonglu.

But in the sky above this small peak, there was a mirror-like halo hanging in the sky, day and night, making the mountain spring-like all year round, gentle and bright, and becoming a veritable paradise.

This halo was transformed from the sect’s magic weapon "Zhi Yue Xuan Guang" in the dojo, and the Tianxin Sect got its name from this.

Miao Yi and his subordinates had been in the Tianxin Sect for seven days, and he felt that his patience was about to run out.

At this time, he lived in Wenxin Pavilion on the west side of Yulun Mountain. This attic has five floors, built on a cliff. Looking around from the fifth floor of the attic, you can see the thin mist in the mountains under the setting sun, and a large area of ​​buildings stretching in the mist and forests. Most of the roofs are covered with white tiles polished from blue jade, and they are set off by the mysterious light in the sky. At first glance, the mountains and forests are like a dream, and it really makes people feel that they are in the Guanghan Fairyland.

The fifth floor where he is is actually a cool room, with no walls on all four sides and jade curtains rolled up. Miao Yi set it as his office to handle affairs.

In front of him is a large table, on which are placed the terrain sand tables of Tianxin Sect and the surrounding areas of Deyang.

The Qianshan Mountain Range, where Yulun Mountain is located, runs from northwest to southeast, dividing the terrain on this sand table into two parts. The northeast direction of the mountain range is the area near Deyang, which occupies a quarter of the area of ​​the sand table, and the southwest direction of the sand table is where You Jiuyuan appears.

There are fourteen people in the Five Mountains True Form Sect who went out of the diocese to change the earth's atmosphere like him. Among these fourteen people, his cultivation is not high. He has only been in the realm of refining spirit for more than thirty years. Among the three realms of the refining spirit period, he has perfected the first level of the nurturing spirit period.

Therefore, he did not want to do anything when he went out of the diocese this time, so he asked Dongyue Zhengtao to take the task of guarding the diocese - there were fellow disciples in the middle and late stages of refining spirit and returning to the void in front of him to encircle the swordsman, and he was behind the front line, changing the terrain of the mountains and rivers around Deyang, and slowly expanding the diocese. Then he came to the nearby thirty-six sects to negotiate and act as an envoy to surrender. It was both stable and beautiful. If he encountered stubborn people, he only needed to report back to Dongyue Zhengtao and ask Zhengtao to send fellow disciples with high skills to suppress them by force.

When he came to Tianxin Sect seven days ago, everything was still going well.

The leader of Tianxin Sect personally came down the mountain to greet him, very respectfully, and said something like the Eight Sects of Xuan Sect were originally one lineage. He called himself "the emperor's envoy" and placed his group in the leader's residence, this Wenxin Pavilion. It seemed that he had made a decision before and had the intention to surrender.

However, his luck was bad. You Jiuyuan actually appeared near Tianxin Sect.

It was really absurd. There were thirty-six sects outside the Zhonglu Church, and countless more vast and remote lands. Why did he have to appear on the territory of Tianxin Sect! ?

On the day he learned about this, the leader of Tianxin Sect stopped chatting with him, and Miao Yi was also thinking about whether he should leave Yulun Mountain immediately and return to Coffin City.

Fortunately, the fellow disciples in the sect reacted very quickly. On the second day, the vanguard troops gathered - sixty-five refining spirits and twenty-three returning to the void, and immediately went to encircle and suppress.

This encirclement and suppression was naturally unsuccessful, and those swordsmen still broke through. However, Miao Yi was relieved that they were heading westwards, getting farther and farther away from the Tianxin Sect where he was, while the masters of the sect were still chasing the Jian Sect, which was protected by the two Yuanyings. The reinforcements of the remaining five sects were also coming from all directions, so Yulun Mountain was safe again, and there was no need to worry about a stream of light suddenly flying from a hundred miles away.

So the leader of the Tianxin Sect came to Wenxin Pavilion again the day before yesterday, saying that he was ill a few days ago and was afraid of offending the emperor's envoy, so he did not come to see him.

He also asked about the situation in the diocese and how to deal with it if these "outside monks" were interested in converting. Obviously, he knew that the Jian Sect was doomed and would never come here to retaliate, so he planned to surrender.

But it seemed that bad luck never ended once it came. Just yesterday, a disciple of the sect named Zhao Xuchen came to Yulun Mountain and told him that Li Wuxiang might be a Yuanying!

At this time, Zhao Xuchen was standing in front of Miao Yi.

Miao Yi frowned and stared at him: "He claimed to be Li Wuxiang? Does he look like the Li Wuxiang that the sect is looking for? Tell me again?"

"Yes. The one I saw had white hair and a handsome face. He looked like a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old. The sect only said these when talking about Li Wuxiang, and they all matched what I saw." Zhao Xuchen answered carefully, "When we fought with him... When the four of us went to Fuxing Village, we brought fourteen independent cultivators with us. They were all carefully selected. Their cultivation was not as good as the disciples of the sect, but it should not be much worse than the Qi Refiners of the Thirty-Six Sects."

"But these people were all killed by him while the four of us were talking. It was silent and no one saw him. Junior Brother Peng Shi went to check on them, and they died in a breath of time before he could make a move."

"At that time, the remaining three of us were on guard, but Junior Brother Pan Ge was still killed by him in front of me, and then he showed up. I was still thinking before that he might be pretending to be a god or a ghost. I tried to use Yuanying as a means, but he said a few words to us and immediately appeared on the cliff in the distance, and I realized that it really should be his Yin Shen. "

Miao Yi took a breath, thought for a while, then turned to look at Lou He beside him: "Junior Brother Lou, have you seen Li Wuxiang in Coffin City?"

"I've seen it from a distance, but I can still see it clearly." Lou He replied. He stood up again and walked to the table to pick up the pen, "Senior Brother Miao, please wait a moment."

He put pen to paper and quickly sketched out the shape of a person. Then he lifted the paper and showed it to Zhao Xuchen: "Is this the person you saw?"

Zhao Xuchen only glanced at him and nodded immediately: "Yes, that's right, it's him."

Miao Yi slowly exhaled and sat back on the chair. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then sighed: "It's really unlucky. How could such an unlucky thing happen? It doesn't matter that You Jiuyuan fell near the Tianxin Sect, but it was a golden elixir, but it was a Nascent Soul? How could this happen? What kind of thing?"

He stood up suddenly again: "Junior Brother Lou, do you believe this? Mei Qiulu taught a Nascent Soul that is faster than her in cultivation? Huh?"

Before Lou He could speak, Zhao Xuchen said again: "Zhou, my disciple feels that no matter how unbelievable this is...Zhou, you should still report it to the crusade. Yesterday and today, when I came over, I found that the matter had spread—— This is near Tianxin sect There were many casual cultivators in the villages and towns who came to seek refuge, but after Li Wuxiang killed Junior Brother He in Fuxing Village, he spared the lives of more than a dozen people. I went to catch some, but it was too late.”

"Now, in the nearby villages and towns, all the casual cultivators who originally came have left, just because Li Wuxiang said that if he knew someone came to defect to Xuanjiao, he would kill him without mercy. It was only when I came here that I learned about the reputation of swordsmen in the hearts of these casual cultivators. How is it...just because of his words, they were all frightened. And..."

Zhao Xuchen paused: "This Li Wuxiang seems to be different from other swordsmen. He has a very fierce and violent temperament. Guard, if he is really Yuanying, in the worst case... I am afraid that he will kill someone sent by Tianxin. Because I listen to him The meaning of what he said was that he planned to restrain the fellow sect members nearby so that the other swordsmen could escape."

Lou He slowly sighed in his heart and remained speechless.

Miao Yi frowned and thought for a while: "Then -"

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a noise downstairs. He was very upset and closed his eyes. But after three breaths, the noise had not stopped, but was getting louder and louder. Miao Yi opened his eyes suddenly: "What's going on down there?"

The disciple at the door immediately ran downstairs to ask, and after a while he ran up again: "Zheng guard, there is a disciple of the Tianxin sect who wants to see you, Zheng guard, saying that there is..."

Miao Yi waved his hand: "Tell him to go away, we don't have time now——"

"...I told you that I have something to tell you about Li Wuxiang."

Miao Yi was stunned: "What can he know? Tell him..."

But after thinking about it, he waved his hand again: "Forget it, ask him to come up."

It didn't take long for the person to be brought up.

But it's a she, not him.

There are many female nuns in the Tianxin sect, but when Miao Yi saw those female nuns in the past few days, he felt more and more that the title of "the land of alienation" was really right - compared with the women in the diocese, the people outside Women are more ugly and vulgar in appearance, and less pleasing to the body and mind.

However, when he saw this woman, he felt that the irritability in his heart was a little lessened - she was a very beautiful female nun, wearing a lake blue robe, with two hanging silk ribbons on her head, with a timid expression. , just looking at it makes people feel loving.

When he saw Miao Yi, he immediately bowed down and said in a clear voice, "Disciple has seen the emperor's envoy."

Miao Yi looked at her black hair and neck, and softened his tone: "What's your name?"

"Disciple Cheng Peixin."

"Well, Cheng Peixin, you said you know about Li Wuxiang? Okay, get up, raise your head and speak."

Cheng Peixin stood up and raised her head slightly. What Miao Yi saw was still the gentle look with twitching eyes: "Hui Emperor Envoy, I know. This disciple used to be the master of Feiyun Temple stationed in Deyang. I met Li Wuxiang when I was there. At that time, he was still a foundation-building practitioner."

Miao Yi thought for a while and sighed: "Oh, how many years ago was this?"

Cheng Peixin glanced at him and paused for a moment: "It happened two months ago."

Miao Yi was stunned and suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Lou He and then at Zhao Xuchen, and saw that he was also stunned.

"Two months ago!? What nonsense are you talking about!?"

Cheng Peixin pursed her lips, but her voice was still calm: "Emperor, please listen to me. Disciple also just heard that Li Wuxiang is a Nascent Soul cultivator, and some people have seen him traveling in the underworld. But, he is like this The so-called Yin God may not really be the Yin God.”

Zhao Xuchen stared at her: "You said I made it up?"

Cheng Peixin bowed her head to him: "Don't blame me, Immortal Master, my disciple didn't mean this. I just said that Li Wuxiang is not a human being. The methods he used may not be human."

Miao Yi stepped forward and looked into her eyes: "Okay, Junior Sister Cheng, tell me carefully!"

Cheng Peixin slowly exhaled and raised her face slightly. At this time, the sunlight outside the building shone on her face, making her face look even more beautiful.

"When I first met him two months ago, he killed a walking member of your sect in Ranshan. At that time, he was still a foundation-building cultivator. After that, he insisted on coming to my flying I was afraid of the evil reputation of Jian Zong, so I had to bear the humiliation and accepted it. But in the few days he stayed in my temple, he actually cultivated to the point of refining his Qi."

"At that time, he went to the Martial Arts Temple in Deyang at night, that is, the Taiyi Temple. That night, the night he practiced Qi, three thunderbolts fell from the sky in Deyang, and several spirits died in the temple. Everyone in the city thinks so Taiyi manifested himself to eliminate evil, but he later told me that he was the one who killed me. But then I thought about it and combined with his strange behaviors in those days, I realized that he might not be a human being, but a spirit who could practice with the help of incense and vows. ”

"Actually... it should be a ghost." Cheng Peixin bit her lip, "Because the former Ranshan sect leader Zhao Puppet was my friend, and the ghost of that sect leader once entrusted me with a dream, saying that he had set up a formation. He almost succeeded in refining Taiyi Essence for immortality, but he was harmed by this Li Wuxiang and his Dao Fruit was taken away. According to Zhao Puppet, Li Wuxiang was regarded as a ghost and no longer existed. It’s a human being.”

"Later I heard that Li Wuxiang was forming elixirs in Coffin City again, and I knew that what Zhao Puppet said was true - when he was forming elixirs in Coffin City, it was only two months after he had been refining Qi before. He must have used the help of Coffin City to form elixirs. Only monsters can do such a thing."

"As for his so-called Yin Shen travel -" Cheng Peixin turned to Zhao Xuchen and smiled softly, "Master Immortal, could you please tell your disciples about the scene at that time?"

Looking at her appearance and listening to her tone, the anger that Zhao Xuchen had just felt was half gone, and he coughed: "Okay."

He explained the previous scene again.

Cheng Peixin frowned slightly, and then unfolded it: "It should be the Xuanguang Mirror. Before Li Wuxiang left Feiyun Temple, he took a magic weapon from me, which is the Xuanguang Mirror. This thing can absorb people's souls and lead to Lingshan. I don’t know what he did specifically, but when he appeared in front of you, the Immortal Master, he probably borrowed the Xuanguang Mirror—hiding in the mirror, and it seemed like he just disappeared.”

Miao Yi fell silent, and after a while, he went to see Zhao Xuchen: "What do you think?"

Zhao Xuchen frowned slightly: "From what Junior Sister Cheng said...it seems...that Li Wufan's behavior at that time did seem to be showing off. Yes, guard, you have to ask me if he is pretending to be a ghost or is he really... Nascent Soul, then of course I say, he is just pretending to be a ghost!"

"Great!" Miao Yi slapped the armrest, "I'll report this to the conquest right away! Great! This is also an achievement!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, two voices were heard——

"Emperor——"

"Senior Brother Miao——"

Miao Yi turned to look at Lou He: "What's wrong?"

"Senior Brother Miao, if he is really a golden elixir, then we can make even greater contributions. Half a month has passed since the war started, and all the masters in the sect have come out, but because there are two Nascent Souls protecting them, they can only kill Just killed five golden pills and a dozen Qi Refiners," Lou He said in a low voice, "But this Li Wuxiang is a single golden pill. How much credit would it be if we killed him?"

Miao Yi was stunned, frowning and thinking.

At this time, Cheng Peixin also spoke: "Emperor's envoy, what this senior brother said makes sense. Disciple... can also help."

Miao Yi smiled casually and flicked his fingers: "Are you——"

"I also have a disciple named Cheng Shengfei. Because of his good aptitude, he was kidnapped by the Sword Sect two months ago and forced to become a swordsman." Cheng Peixin straightened up, "But two days ago she sent me a message saying that she was with another person. The four swordsmen were scattered and sent to seek my protection. Emperor's Envoy, if the Emperor's Envoy can save my disciple, I am willing to use her to lure Li Wuxiang to catch the turtle in the jar."
