"The Huangji Sect is investigating the specific situation. We cannot contact the insiders and have no clue at the moment." Zhu Qilan shook her head slightly. The Huangji Sect is still exploring the situation of the Tianjian Sect. The Council of Elders is still unclear, let alone her.
Lu Bei's face became solemn when he heard this, knowing that he would not get anything out of him no matter how much he asked. Although Zhu Qilan was the commander-in-chief of three states with military power, she was actually not welcomed by the Council of Elders because of her status as the eldest princess. She was an outsider in the Huangji Sect, and no important information would be shared with her.
Zhu Qilan got nothing, so Lu Bei decided to give Jing Ji a try. After all, he was an unstable factor in Lingxiao Sword Sect, and a rare treasure was worth keeping. When Tianjian Sect prepared to start an uprising, they would definitely attack Lingxiao Sword Sect first. Maybe he could get something out of him through this relationship.
Under the cover of night, the pretty boy climbed over the courtyard wall like a thief and flew towards the old place.
A few seconds later, the pretty boy turned over again.
Things have their priorities. It is obvious that Butler Yu, who is soaking in the swimming pool, is in a hurry. Even if we take a step back, integrity is a matter of principle. A man without integrity cannot stand. Since she promised Butler Yu to take her flying, how could she just break her promise so easily
Even if it's just a perfunctory response, it's fine.
The moonlight passed quickly, and half an hour later, Lu Bei arrived at the familiar rooftop.
I was careless and underestimated the enemy, so I was delayed for a long time.
With Butler Yu's realm and strength, he originally planned to finish the job in five minutes. He never expected that the young lady had excellent taste in clothes. She had just bought a very exquisite bathrobe, which was remarkable in both craftsmanship and feel. Lu Bei was amazed and took it off personally to admire it for a long time.
The time has dragged on until now.
Fortunately, it’s not a big problem. It’s common for cultivators to stay up late, so you can find someone by calling them in the middle of the night.
Lu Bei took out the Thousand Mile Talisman and quickly made an appointment for a meeting with Jing Ji.
Then, Jing Ji sensed the direction of the plot and refused to meet at the old place. He skipped the plot about fifty taels of silver and chose the dense forest outside the city.
"Elder Jing, why do you look so bad after not seeing you for a few days?"
Lu Bei showed off his exaggerated acting skills and changed the subject: "How about we go to Qunxiangyuan and have a seat, have something elegant, so you can relax and refresh yourself."
Jing Ji ignored the meaningless words and said quickly, "My dear nephew, what's the point of asking me out? I've been busy with mundane things lately. If you just want to have fun, I'll definitely have fun with you someday when I'm free."
After saying that, Jing Ji turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing that his steps were firm and the trend was set, but he did not open the portal directly, Lu Bei knew that it was a coincidence, and Jing Ji also had something important to discuss with him.
He quickly stepped forward to stop Jing Ji and said straight to the point: "Wait a minute, Elder Jing. I asked you out for only one thing. I heard that the Tianjian Sect had a small problem. Is it true or not?"
"Has my nephew heard about it, too?"
Jing Ji let out a light exclamation, but there was no panic on his face, he seemed very calm.
"After all, I am also a purple guard of Xuanyin Division. The bowl is full of intelligence. It is easy to find out something from Huangji Sect."
"That's true."
Jing Ji nodded and said, "Don't worry, my dear nephew. There is nothing wrong with the Tianjian Sect. It's just that a demon cultivator sneaked into Tianjian Peak and caused a little trouble. Now he has been captured."
"What kind of demon cultivator is so powerful that he could sneak into Tianjian Peak?"
Lu Bei's eyes widened, and then he showed an angry look: "How can this be absurd? How dare a mere demon cultivator be so presumptuous? Tell me how our Tianjian Sect dealt with him. If there are any problems in the interrogation, I am willing to do it for him and let him feel the happiness of the prisoners of the Xuanyin Division."
Come on, what does the Tianjian Sect have to do with you
Jing Ji was disdainful and rejected Lu Bei's attempt to get close to him. He waved his hand coldly and said, "The demon cultivator's ability to conceal his aura and change his form is quite good, but his methods are just average. He is not as arrogant as you think."
"That's good. Lu suggests that his body be hung on Tianjian Peak to be exposed to the sun, so that outsiders can see that our Tianjian Sect is not easy to bully."
That's all you have.
Seeing that he could not get any useful information out of him, Lu Bei prepared to show off his identity as an abandoned disciple of Lingxiao Sword Sect. However, before he could open his mouth, Jing Ji took the initiative to mention the matter.
"My dear nephew, there has been a little incident in Yuezhou recently. Have you heard about it?"
"What's going on? Did Lin Buyan die suddenly?" Lu Bei was overjoyed.
"No."
Jing Ji's mouth twitched, and he looked at Lu Bei deeply. "It is indeed related to Sect Leader Lin. It is said that he covered his face, held the Great Power Heaven, and bullied the weak everywhere. He also forced a female sword cultivator to go to Beijun Mountain to be his second wife."
“Scum!”
Lu Bei's eyes widened in anger, and he spoke through his teeth: "I have never seen such a shameless person. It's a pity that the Great Power Heaven has been covered in dust. Elder Jing, please give the order. I will go to Beijun Mountain to retrieve the Great Power Heaven. We in the Tianjian Sect cannot let the Nine Swords suffer such an injustice."
"My dear nephew, you are right. He is indeed a scumbag. I have never seen such a shameless person." Jing Ji said indignantly. Seeing that Lu Bei had no reaction and even nodded in agreement, Jing Ji secretly thought that he was so shameless.
Mei Wangsu and Wen Bubei hid in Yinxue Sword Pavilion for cultivation, which was arranged by Jing Ji himself. Suddenly, Lin Buyan holding the Dashitian appeared and teased the head of Yinxue Sword Pavilion. After that, there was no news from Mei Wangsu and his disciple. Jing Ji could figure out what happened with his toes.
First of all, Lin Buyan can be ruled out. He has the motive to commit the crime, but he does not have the ability to do it. Even if he did, he would not be so blatant.
Jing Ji did not point out who the real murderer was. The value of Master Mei Wangsu and his apprentice has been declining again and again, so there is no point in talking about it.
Now, Lu Bei is enough to restrict Lin Buyan’s ambition and make him obedient.
"My dear nephew, you are an elite disciple of my Iron Sword Alliance and you hold an Iron Sword token, right?"
"That's right."
Lu Bei said with certainty, and then added: "At the same time, I am also the Purple Guard of Xuanyin Division and the leader of Huangji Sect. Does the Great Elder Zhu Heng know that he is my grandfather's relative?"
Jing Ji was not surprised at this answer. If there were benefits, he would do it. If there were no benefits, he would get sick. Ningzhou Lu's character was consistent and he had never acted from beginning to end.
"Since my dear nephew said so, I will treat you as an outsider."
Jing Ji sighed: "Originally, I wanted to tell you that a secret realm has appeared in Pingzhou, which is controlled by our Tianjian Sect. All elite disciples holding the Iron Sword Token can enter the secret realm..."
"What did Elder Jing say? How could it be so hurtful?"
Lu Bei beat his chest and stamped his feet, almost vomiting blood on the spot: "Although I am the Purple Guard of Xuanyin Division, the leader of Huangji Sect, and I have a dying Grandpa Zhu, I have always been proud of the Iron Sword Token. I am also the next leader of Lingxiao Sword Sect chosen by you, Elder Jing. I am the pillar of our Tianjian Sect!"
Come on, if the Tianjian Sect had a pillar like you, the Tianjian Peak would be crooked...
It's really crooked.
Thinking of this, Jing Ji got a headache. The anomalies at Tianjian Peak and Jiujian were still under investigation. It could not be said that there was no clue at all, but there had been no progress at all.
This is also the reason why he did not ask about the whereabouts of Mei Wangsu and his disciple. Compared with the Nine Swords and Tianjian Peak, the two were dispensable and would be gone if they were gone.
"Elder Jing, please say something!"
I'm telling you shit!
The abnormality at Tianjian Peak caused the entire Tianjian Sect to be in a state of panic, and Jing Ji was no exception. He was angry at everyone he saw, and brought his emotions into his work, which inevitably led to his poor diplomatic skills.
He knew in his heart that if he spoke too much, he would be in trouble, so he simply said, "Although the secrets of Pingzhou are firmly in the hands of our Tianjian Sect, they have also attracted the covetous eyes of the Huangji Sect. My dear nephew, you can take the Iron Sword Token and go there to see if there is any opportunity to see it."
“Great!”
Lu Bei showed ecstasy on his face: "I'll tell you what Elder Jing knows. As a purple guard of the Xuanyin Division, I have always wanted to use the identity of an elite disciple of the Iron Sword League to launch a sneak attack on the Huangji Sect. Today, I can finally realize it."
Jing Ji: “…”
I wanted to say something, but since my purpose has been achieved, I won’t say it anymore.
"Elder Jing, when we go to Pingzhou, I have only one question to ask you. If a fight really breaks out and the conflict between our Tianjian Sect and Huangji Sect escalates, you will definitely protect me instead of selling me out to keep the peace, right?" Lu Bei said with narrowed eyes.
"What my dear nephew said is true. It's just a small conflict and it will be over after just a formality. It won't cause any big commotion." Jing Ji reminded.
"Then I feel relieved."
Lu Bei nodded and mentioned Qunxiangyuan again, wanting to give Jing Ji some good rest and wash away his fatigue.
Jing Ji was too lazy to pay attention to him. He threw out the fifty-tael silver note he had prepared, broke through the void and escaped.
Before leaving, he said, "My dear nephew, you will meet an acquaintance in Pingzhou. Remember to stay calm and face the enemy with one sword. Don't get into conflict with him."
acquaintance
Is that Lin Bu Yan
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows, somewhat confused. He put the banknote into his arms, stood up and flew towards his lair.
"Only fifty taels. The top pick of the Tianjian Sect and the top pick of the Qunxiang Courtyard are the same price. Wu Zhou is really too generous."
…
Pingzhou.
This was not the first time that Lu Bei had set foot in Pingzhou. Last year, in order to avoid being hunted down by the sword cultivators from Yuezhou, he hid here with Hu San and Mu Jiling. He showed off his amazing talent and successfully practiced the Taiyin Killing Power Dao left by the Imperial Master.
The reason for going back to Jiuzhu Mountain first was to bring She Xuan with her. With Sister She and Sister Snake, it would be easier to explore the secret realm and get the gifts of nature before others.
As for the players who were crying out for slaughter, Lu Bei could only put away his knife with tears in his eyes.
The Leek Garden is a crucial part of his outlook for the future. As the public beta is coming to an end, it should make its presence felt more, but the confrontation between the Tianjian Sect and the Huangji Sect is more important.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the Tianjian Sect is in a state of tension for some unknown reason, showing off their military strength as if they are suffering from paranoia, and their guilty conscience is too obvious. It is possible and very likely that the Pingzhou Secret Realm is the fuse of the conflict between the two sides.
Lu Bei wanted to try to adjust the situation. If possible, he would insert this trouble-making stick to temporarily extinguish the spark on the fuse.
It's very likely. Although he is good at fanning the flames, he is also good at being a peacemaker.
Where there is a will, there is a way. As long as people are willing to work hard, things can be accomplished.
This can be done!
