Wei Wuwei was such a shrewd man that he understood in an instant that Lu Shanjun probably hoped that Hu Yun could become Mr. Ji's disciple. This was enough to show that Lu Shanjun cared about Hu Yun quite a bit. He thought about it for a while, then glanced at the corner of the table he had set up. There was a small incense burner there, slowly emitting calming sandalwood incense, and on it was carved an exaggerated lion in traditional style.
"Mr. Lu, please calm down. Hu Yun's decision to take Mr. Xie as his master was partly due to Mr. Ji's suggestion. Mr. Xie also has a great background."
"Um?"
Lu Shanjun looked at Wei Wuwei.
"I hope Patriarch Wei can help me solve this problem."
"I don't dare to answer your questions, I'm just guessing based on the information I know. Mr. Xie's origins are extremely mysterious. Before he suddenly appeared beside Mr. Ji, there were no rumors about him in the world, and he had no other relatives or friends. He was just closely related to Mr. Ji. His appearance was like..."
Wei Wuwei stopped talking here. He knew that Lu Shanjun was also a smart man. Sure enough, the latter's eyes flashed and he looked at Wei Wuwei and continued what he was saying.
"Just like... my master back then..."
Wei Wuwei nodded slightly, and then added.
"Of course, not many people know that Mr. Xie actually exists. And compared to Mr. Ji, Mr. Xie's skills are obviously a little bit behind, but he is definitely very good. Hu Yun can learn a lot from him, and he may be more suitable for him."
Lu Shanjun shook his head slightly.
"Alas, that fox cub is just too playful. If he had known a little more about the limits back then, he would have become Master's disciple long ago. Even if that Xiezhi is indeed extraordinary in cultivation, how can it compare to Master!"
Wei Wuwei had no choice but to agree.
"Mr. Lu is right."
"Well, it's getting late today. I have to leave. I don't know when we will meet again. If Master Wei can see Master, please say hello to him on behalf of Lu."
Seeing Lu Shanjun stand up, Wei Wuwei also stood up and responded while bowing.
"Even if Mr. Lu didn't tell me, Wei would have done the same thing!"
Lu Shanjun nodded and suddenly spoke with a serious expression.
"Tell Master to be careful. Not everyone in the immortal world can be trusted. Also, we need to be careful with Zhuang Ze. The Wei family leader also needs to treat him with caution. The North Demon once told me privately that Zhuang Ze is a perfect embryo for the demon path. And even though Brother Niu and I repeatedly obstructed him that day, the North Demon is still a poor Taoist after all. After sitting with Zhuang Ze for so long, I'm afraid there may be troubles."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Wei will pay attention."
Lu Shanjun didn't say anything more. He saluted Wei Wuwei in return, took a step forward and turned into a breeze blowing into the sea. Wei Wuwei stood on the island, maintaining the salute posture and watched the other party disappear before he slowly put away his courtesy.
In fact, Ying Ruoli also mentioned these things before she left, but Wei Wuwei was naturally concerned about them, and he also had some thoughts of his own in his mind.
'Aze, for him, this is a stalemate now. Even if the master has the skill to turn the tide and can practice the method of cultivating the Tao with the devil's heart, the stalemate between the devil and the Tao cannot be broken. From now on, it will be difficult for him to make any progress in his life. It might be better for him to slowly die of old age. Or maybe he has some ideas...'
Thoughts flashed through Wei Wuwei's mind, but he murmured with a smile.
"Hey, Hu Yun will suffer in the future."
After saying this with a smile, Wei Wuwei packed up and left. Judging from Lu Shanjun's reaction before, it was obvious that he was still bothered by it.
At this moment, in an inner room of Yuhuai Bao Pavilion, Aze was lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about what happened before. He talked a lot with the woman who pretended to be Mr. Ji's Taoist partner, and told her almost all his secrets.
Before, Aze felt how good it felt to talk to someone close to him, but now his mood was so bad that he didn't know how to face Mr. Ji.
In the following days, Aze was a little absent-minded, but whenever he had the chance, he would find Wei Wuwei when he was free to ask about some of the things written in "Huangquan".
…
A month later, a willow-leaf-shaped boat carrying several people flew over a calm sea. Looking far ahead, two crescent-shaped islands could be seen standing opposite each other on the sea, while the sea area in the middle was completely calm, looking like a huge mirror from a distance. It was the sea boundary of Jingxuan Haige.
There was a woman on the boat. From time to time, she would touch her right cheek. There was always a lingering burning sensation. Every time this happened, although the woman's face was calm, there would always be a hint of coldness in the depths of her eyes.
If Lian Ping'er's own physique was not weaker than those demon cultivators who were good at body refining, she might not even have the chance to use the method of saving her life. So even though she knew she had to stay calm, she hated Longnv and Aze, and even the North Demon who didn't know how to restrain his demonic flames.
Soon, the boat flew near Jingxuan Haige, landed on the sea and slowly sailed into the Mirror Sea. Everyone on the boat subconsciously looked at the sword-carved words on the cliff wall of Dayue Island in Haige.
"After so many years, the sword spirit of this sword is still there."
"Well, it is indeed worthy of praise." "Yes, the more powerful the sword intent is, the better!"
Lian Ping'er pulled down the hood of her cloak, smiled as she looked at the sword carvings on the cliff.
"This is originally a sword-carved formation, gathering the sword intentions of three sword masters, and it is constantly strengthened by the mirror sea heavy water. Today, it is as powerful as a hill."
On the other side of Mirror Sea, there was also a small boat parked there. Someone on it was fishing with a fishing rod. At this time, he looked up towards the distant cliff, wondering who was on the small boat.
A disciple from Jingxuan Haige flew from the Crescent Island of Jiaotong University to the fishing boat and saluted the fisherman.
"Uncle Master Lu, the Pavilion Master has something urgent to ask you to come over."
Lu Min glanced at the other person, nodded, and was about to stand up when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a slight ripple where the fishing line was connected to the water.
'Are there any fish taking the bait?'
"Uncle Master, don't make the Pavilion Master wait anxiously!"
Lu Min frowned slightly and looked at the swaying fishing line with nostalgia. He hadn't caught a Liuli Guishui golden-scaled sturgeon for nearly twenty years. It actually took the bait today. What a pity.
Lu Min sighed, and swung the rod. The fishhook and fishing line were shaken up, and the spirit fish below naturally ran away. He shook the rod again, and the fishing line wrapped around the rod by itself. The posture of lifting and retracting the rod actually had a kind of natural sword intent.
"Let's go."
Lu Min jumped lightly and flew up on a breeze, heading to the Big Crescent Island with the disciple who came to report.
Although Jingxuan Haige is not a large immortal sect in the conventional sense, it is also a well-known immortal sect, so there are naturally palace-like immortal pavilions on Crescent Island.
However, this time the disciple who led the way brought Lu Min into a stone building and took him to the underground passage in the building.
"Is the Pavilion Master in the underground pavilion today?"
"Yes, uncle-master, besides you, several other elders will also be here."
"oh."
Lu Min nodded, but frowned in confusion.
"Is it possible that I got confused while fishing? Is there something important going on today?"
"I don't know, uncle-master, you should ask the Pavilion Master yourself. I'll take my leave!"
As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived outside the stone gate that separated the underground pavilion. The disciple who led the way bowed and left first.
Lu Min nodded to the disciple, then looked at the stone gate, saluted with both hands and spoke towards the inside.
"Master, I'm here."
After waiting for a while, Lu Min frowned slightly. The isolating stone gate was a powerful restriction, but the sound from outside could be transmitted into it in one direction.
"Pavilion Master, Lu Min wants to see you!"
Lu Min raised his tone a little, but there was still no response. After hesitating for a long time, he reached out and touched the stone door. He could feel a slight resistance, proving that the restriction was working.
After thinking for a while, Lu Min moved his sword finger and tapped several places on the stone gate. After leaving a few star points, streams of light moved on them. Then the whole stone gate lit up slightly and slowly opened inward.
But the moment the stone door opened, Lu Min's eyes widened and he looked inside in panic.
"Pavilion Master!"
Lu Min instantly appeared in the center of the slightly empty pavilion. He looked around and then looked down at the ground. The ground was covered with blood. In the center of his sight, the Pavilion Master of Jingxuanhai Pavilion was cut in the throat, with his head and body separated...
"Sword Technique means death by sword! Who... who is it?"
Lu Min was extremely shocked. The Pavilion Master actually died silently in the underground pavilion
“Pavilion Master!” “Pavilion Master—” “Ah—”
Two more screams were heard, and two old men seemed to be approaching together. The disciple who led the way also saw the body of the Pavilion Master and screamed in surprise.
"Two elders, there must be a powerful enemy in my Jingxuanhai Pavilion. When I came here, I found that the Pavilion Master had met with an accident. The murderer must be good at swordsmanship, and his cultivation is unfathomable. He was able to gain the trust of the Pavilion Master and commit the crime in this pavilion..."
"Lu Min! Aren't you an expert in swordsmanship?"
"Yes, don't you have the Pavilion Master's trust?"
The words of the two old men made Lu Min slightly stunned.
"How could Lu Min attack the Pavilion Master? The two elders should not panic. We need to hurry..."
"Lu Min! We saw you kill the Pavilion Master with our own eyes, and you still dare to quibble!"
An elder roared angrily, and the disciple leading the way beside him looked shocked.
"What? Uncle Master Lu..."
Before the disciple could finish his words, he suddenly felt an itch on his neck. Almost at the moment when this feeling came, his soul dissipated and he lost consciousness again.
Lu Min looked at the disciple's head falling down in disbelief, and in his panic he vaguely understood what had happened.
“You…you guys!”
"Capture Lu Min and avenge the Pavilion Master!"
"Get started!"
The two elders suddenly attacked and joined forces to attack Lu Min. The latter was unable to resist in a hurry and was seriously injured in an instant. But how could he be willing to die like this? He suddenly raised his sword intent and was ready to die together with them.
"careful!"
"Boom..."
The stone building of the Dige Pavilion exploded, and a sword light flew out of it, but a sound from below had already spread throughout the Jingxuan Haige Pavilion.
"Lu Min betrayed his master and ancestors and committed treason. He suddenly attacked and killed the Pavilion Master in the Underground Pavilion. All the cultivators in the Sea Pavilion should quickly join forces to arrest him—"
"Lu Min killed the Pavilion Master—" "Lu Min injured the elders and killed the Pavilion Master—"
In addition to the decisive words, although there were also various sounds of surprise, Lu Min was in no condition to do anything at the moment. He also knew that he had been tricked. He could only try his best to escape, turning into a sword light and rushing towards the sky. However, when he flew a hundred feet up, he saw a white light coming from the direction of the cliff.
The next moment, boundless sword energy transformed into streams of light, rushing out from the cliff, flying to all parts of Jingxuanhai Pavilion, and stirring up the entire Mirror Sea. The Mirror Sea, which had always been as calm as a mirror, was now stirring up thousands of waves.
Lu Min now has only one thought in his mind.
'No, no, I can't die, I can't die!'
