"The achievements of Fellow Daoist Li cannot be erased. Since Aying has also recognized the identity of the quasi-'King Qing', we old guys should not interfere. The only question is whether Fellow Daoist Li can truly prove that you and Aying are from the same sect.
After all, Aying's cultivation is still shallow. If he has ever been under an illusion or his memory has been modified by someone, it is possible that he cannot recognize people!
Oh, regarding this point, please do not be surprised, Fellow Daoist Li, please be tolerant. This is not because I am nosy, but the identity of 'King Qing' is too important to the Tianli tribe.
This will involve extremely secretive aspects of the clan, so we have to confirm it carefully. I personally believe in Fellow Daoist Li's background, but as an elder, I also have responsibilities, so I still have to go through some of the processes!"
The second elder smiled slightly and spoke slowly. He kept saying that he believed in Li Yan, but anyone could see that he was just looking for trouble on purpose.
But now that he has said this, and it does make some sense, if Li Yan cannot produce something to prove himself, it will be speechless for a moment.
There was a gleam of light in Gong Chenying's eyes. The first elder and the third elder did not speak for a while, but turned their gaze to Li Yan.
Li Yan reached out and touched his nose before he slowly spoke.
"Then how do you want me to prove it, Second Elder? Do you know the Wuliang Sect's skills, or do you recognize the Wuliang Sect's token?"
"Hahahaha... How difficult is that? Ah Ying also has a Wuliang Sect token. Fellow Daoist Li, just take out your token and compare it, isn't that enough!"
At this moment, a sweet laugh came from one side. The third elder covered her lips with a white and somewhat overly fair hand and spoke with a giggle, appearing to be extremely charming and a beauty.
After listening to the words of the third elder, Li Yan still did not take out the sect token.
"What if it is proven that my sect token is real, but the Second Elder says that I stole the token? What then?"
Li Yan stared at the second elder.
The second elder spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face. Wasn't that what he was thinking? This seemed to be an unsolvable question. After all, this was in the Fengshen Continent, and it was extremely difficult to find someone to prove it.
After Li Yan said this, even the third elder who was giggling beside him stopped laughing immediately and his eyes fixed.
The Great Elder was about to open his mouth to deny the Second Elder's unreasonable question. This was not the Desolate Moon Continent, so how could he ask other people from the Wuliang Sect to prove Li Yan's identity
Unexpectedly, at this moment Li Yan frowned, with a half-smile on his face, and spoke first.
"Second Elder, may I ask you something?"
"Fellow Daoist Li, please speak!"
"Did my senior sister join the Wuliang Sect?"
"This... Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have asked about Fellow Daoist Li's sect identity!"
The Second Elder was stunned by Li Yan's question. He couldn't figure out why Li Yan asked this, and for a moment he didn't know what Li Yan wanted to do. He could only answer honestly.
Li Yan nodded after hearing this and continued.
"Well, as a disciple of the sect, does she have to abide by the sect's rules and regulations?"
"Of course, otherwise your sect would not be able to teach her the way to practice! Fellow Daoist Li, you have already asked a few questions. Now is not the time to change the subject. What does this have to do with proving your identity?"
The second elder still couldn't guess Li Yan's intention, so he changed the subject again, and Li Yan continued to smile.
“It’s good for the Second Elder to know this. As the top sect in the Wild Moon Continent, the Wuliang Sect’s rules are strict and ruthless. Those who violate the rules will have their cultivation abolished, which is the lightest punishment.
About a hundred years ago, the demons suddenly reappeared in the Desolate Moon Continent. Our sect summoned all the disciples away to return, and also issued a call to Sixth Senior Sister.
Although not all disciples can return to the sect to participate in the war, everyone who cannot return must explain the reason.
Not long after, the demons launched a major war within the Wuliang Sect, and even the Divine Transformation cultivators from both sides took action, which shows the scale of the war.
This time, in addition to looking for Sixth Senior Sister, I also came to ask about this matter so that I could make an explanation for her record in the sect.
But why is it that when I came to ask Sixth Senior Sister about this matter this time, she said that she had not received any news at all
We asked 'Guiqulaixie' to bring this message. I believe that by now you have reached your level, you already know whether 'Guiqulaixie' has lost its credibility.
I would like to ask, is it that after reading the letter, Sixth Senior Sister lost her memory for no reason and has no recollection of this incident, or is there something wrong with 'Return Home'
If it is the former, then I, like the Second Elder, suspect that someone has modified Sixth Senior Sister's memory. You have to investigate this matter, and we have to investigate it too, otherwise Sixth Senior Sister may have to face sanctions according to the sect rules.
But if everyone says they don’t know about this, then I will, as the ancestor of the sect, go to find Guiqulaixi to verify this matter again. I think there will be a result soon…”
Li Yan stopped talking here and began to scan the crowd.
Li Yan had no way of refutation or proof of the questions asked by the Second Elder unless a third party recognized by both parties appeared.
Li Yan simply used offense instead of defense. In the capacity of the sect's ancestor, he inquired about another matter and stated that someone might have indeed modified Gong Chenying's memory, but it might not have happened in the Wild Moon Continent, but in the Wind God Continent!
However, during Li Yan's questions, he deliberately mixed up several things and the time sequence. First, he sent the news to Gong Chenying only after Li Wuyi got married.
Secondly, he moved up the time when the demons would launch an attack on him during his Nascent Soul Ceremony by several decades, and used this as the sect's rule, raising his own questions while pressing him step by step.
Li Yan could conclude from the fact that Gong Chenying did not know that he had conceived a baby that the attack by the remnants of the demon clan might not have spread to the Fengshen Continent yet.
Think about it, this is how things should have been. It has only been fifty or sixty years since the war. If news between the two continents was really that easy to transmit, there would be no need to look for cross-border shops like "Guiqulaixie" to deliver news.
Li Yan didn't think he was lying. He just changed the time sequence slightly. Everything was true.
"What do you mean the demons appeared again? The Divine Transformation cultivators also took action? Daoist Fellow Li is serious about what he said."
The Great Elder's face changed first. The attack of a Divine Transformation cultivator was completely different from the confrontation with a Divine Transformation cultivator. What did that mean? It meant that an entire continent might cease to exist in an instant.
If this is true, then the war between the Demons and the Desolate Moon Continent will have much more serious consequences than the current war between the Tianli and the Wind Beasts.
That is a disaster that can completely change a continent, while the attack of the wind beast can only change the situation in a certain area at most for now.
In such a big battle, no matter how good Gong Chenying's cultivation is, as a disciple of the Wuliang Sect, she has the obligation to return to the sect anyway. As Li Yan said, even if you can't go back, they have already issued a summons to the sect, and you have to explain why you can't return.
To put it bluntly, given Gong Chenying's situation, Li Yan had every reason to destroy her cultivation. As for whether it was worth spending a huge amount of spirit stones to deliver a message for a Jindan cultivator, it was hard to say.
Maybe Xiaozhufeng, which has a sparse population, would be willing to do so
"About a hundred years ago, this... this matter... Ah Ying, you really didn't receive any news?"
The third elder was also surprised. Although the Wuliang Sect was a giant in another continent, it still maintained a good relationship with the Tianli Clan. The Tianli Clan did not want to offend the other party, not because they were afraid, but because it was not worth it.
“There is no need for me to hide the fact that the demons launched a full-scale attack last time and a Divine Transformation cultivator took action.
As long as you send someone to a cross-border store like "Returning Home" and spend some expensive spirit stones, you should be able to get this news!"
Li Yan glanced at the expressions of several people. The first elder and the third elder were really surprised.
Although the Second Elder's aura fluctuated slightly when he heard the demons and the gods taking action, it quickly returned to normal, which showed that he was also surprised.
Especially when Li Yan said that he would go to find "Guiqulaixie" to verify the matter, he, who had been secretly observing the Second Elder, found that the Second Elder's eyes quickly glanced at Gong Chenying, which was very interesting.
Gong Chenying's eyes showed a hint of surprise when Li Yan mentioned the letter, but then returned to normal.
Li Yan had already told her about the demons' appearance at Li Yan's baby-forming ceremony, so she was not surprised at all. What she didn't expect was that Li Yan would suddenly bring up the matter of delivering the message.
"Third Elder, I really didn't know there was any news! Although there were wind beasts attacking during that period, the situation was not as tense as it is now. Logically, there shouldn't be any problems after the news was passed on to the clan."
Gong Chenying had already guessed Li Yan's thoughts, and she was also very angry about this matter, so she "cooperated" with Li Yan even more.
"A hundred years ago? Wasn't the Fifth Elder responsible for the affairs of the sixty-year period and for contact with the outside world during that period?"
The Great Elder frowned. Although the three tribes of wind beasts did not join forces at that time, because the three tribes of wind beasts were distributed around the Tianli tribe, the Tianli tribe was often attacked by one tribe of wind beasts, so not all members of the tribe could stay in the tribe.
Therefore, Gong Chenying might have gone out during that period.
When a shop like "Guiqulaixie" sends a message, usually, unless it is specified that the message must be delivered to the other party in person.
Otherwise, in the normal delivery of the message, the messenger of "Go Back" would not wait here, after all, no one knows when the people on the battlefield will return.
At the beginning, Li Wuyi only asked "Guiqulaixie" to bring the wedding news to Gong Chenying, and did not specifically instruct the other party to hand it to Gong Chenying personally.
After all, in their view, Gong Chenying is the "princess" of the Tianli tribe, and this information is not a secret. It has also been stated that it is for Gong Chenying, so no one doubts that someone will intercept it.
Li Yan looked at the expressions of several people and snorted coldly in his heart.
"As expected, this is why they don't want Sixth Senior Sister to go back. Someone wants to get the resources of the Gong family through her as soon as possible."
After Li Yan learned that Gong Chenying had not received any news from Li Wuyi, he had been thinking about the reason in his heart.
He didn't think that the problem would arise with "Guiqulaixie". Given the credibility of "Guiqulaixie", the news would at most be delayed in reaching the Tianli tribe, but it would not be something that would not be received for decades.
This means that someone deliberately intercepted the information. There should not be many people in the Tianli tribe who have the power to obtain the jade slip.
First of all, Gong Shanhe would never do that. He could rest assured in leaving Gong Chenying in the Wuliang Sect for long-term training, let alone a piece of news.
Moreover, it was just news of a wedding that Li Wuyi invited. What reason did he have not to give the jade slip to his daughter
Therefore, these things can only happen to the other elders. Li Yan had previously guessed that it should not be the first elder, the third elder, or the sixth elder.
Gong Chenying himself said that these people have a very good relationship with the Gong family, so the most likely ones are the second elder and others.
Gong Chenying returned to the Tianli tribe, and forming a Taoist partnership with her was the fastest way to obtain the resources of the Gong family.
Therefore, it is better for Gong Chenying to stay in the clan. Once he crosses the border, it will take a long time and no one knows what will happen. Only by staying can Gong Chenying have more time to get along with the young talents in the clan.
Besides, it’s just news of a wedding. What does it matter whether you go or not
At this moment, the second elder was also confused, as if the Wuliang Sect had sent such a message.
Gong Shanhe and Gong Chenying were both at the front at the time, so after the Fifth Elder talked to him and saw that they did not express any opinion, he destroyed the jade slip privately.
At the same time, the second elder also said, "Such a small matter is worth the risk of crossing the border. Do you really think we can come and go freely?"
But why did Li Yan say now that he was delivering the sect's call to action
"The Fifth Elder shouldn't lie, so who is telling the truth in this matter?"
For a moment, the Second Elder was unsure of the whole story, but he still spoke.
"There is such a thing? But... but now the Fifth Elder is seriously injured and has been in seclusion, I still have to find him to ask for clarification later!
Fellow Daoist Li, please handle this matter carefully. After all, we have always had a very harmonious relationship with the Wuliang Sect, so we must not allow any misunderstandings or mistakes to occur."
After hearing this, Li Yan seemed to fall into deep thought and did not speak for a while. When the Great Elder saw this, he smiled slightly.
"I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Li with this matter! By the way, regarding the matter of 'King Qing', whether it's Fellow Daoist Li's cultivation or his identity, the Third Elder and I don't have much opinion. I wonder what the Second Elder thinks?"
The second elder waved his hand with a smile.
"I just said that I believe in Fellow Daoist Li's identity. The previous doubts were just a formality. How could there be any real doubts
Moreover, with the great elder's profound cultivation, he can certainly tell whether Ah Ying has a problem. Fellow Daoist Li's background is beyond doubt, hehe..."
