Song Manyin smiled half-heartedly: "How?"
Chu Li sighed, put away the secret stone, shook his head and said: "It's too dangerous to enter."
"You're not dizzy after all." Song Manyin snorted: "I really can't jump anymore. I can't jump into the Nine Nether Valley if I have a glimmer of hope. Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone coming back."
Chu Li nodded.
"Let's go." Song Manyin said.
She pulled Chu Li away, and the two of them disappeared into Jiuyou Mountain and returned to her back garden.
The breeze was blowing gently, and the two of them stood in a small pavilion on the lake.
He didn't expect it to be so easy to find the path to the lower world. Although it remains to be confirmed whether Jiuyou Mountain is the Tianmen, at least he has some knowledge and can go to Da Ci'en Temple to confirm it.
"Sect Master, I'll take my leave now," Chu Li said, cupping his fists.
Song Manyin said: "Be careful Qi Tianmen, they are a group of lunatics and cannot be treated with common sense."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Song Manyin said: "Don't think that they won't dare to touch you without evidence. As long as they suspect it's you, they will retaliate crazily. It's best to stay at Nantianmen or here."
Chu Li smiled and nodded: "Understood."
Song Manyin waved her jade hands.
Chu Li hesitated and said, "Does the sect leader know about the Sword of Death?"
"You are really greedy!" Song Manyin looked at him in surprise: "Do you really want to get the Sword of Death?"
Chu Li nodded.
Song Manyin shook her head and said: "The Sword of Death is an ominous sword, and the one who wins it will die, so it's better not to be greedy, be careful!"
Chu Li said: "So, does the sect master really have news about the Sword of Death?"
"No!" Song Manyin snorted.
Chu Li smiled: "The Eternal Light Divine Sword is infinitely powerful. It should not be in the hands of a certain sect and should be sealed somewhere."
"Yes." Song Manyin said, "But no one knows where it is. It may have sunk into the sea."
Chu Li raised his brows and said in surprise: "The sect leader is saying that it fell into the hands of the Haishang sect?"
"I didn't say that!" Song Manyin gave him a blank look.
Chu Li looked thoughtful.
Song Manyin snorted: "Go ahead, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Chu Li smiled, hugged his fists, and disappeared in a flash.
He had already gotten a hint from Song Manyin's words. It seemed that the Divine Sword of Death had really fallen into the sea. It was probably on a certain island, or it might have been obtained by a certain sect on the sea. He was concentrating on practicing it and wanted to master it.
He shook his head, got rid of distracting thoughts, and decided to first fuse the Tianji Stone with the Xuan Kong Mirror and the Flying Star Technique, which would be beneficial to the advancement of Celestial Vision.
He flashed back to Nantianmen, returned to his small courtyard and went into seclusion.
The Secret Stone is mysterious, the Xuan Kong Mirror and the Flying Star Technique are indeed different from each other, but referring to each other in detail is beneficial to understanding the deeper essence. The power of clairvoyance has also risen with the tide.
In the early morning, three men appeared outside Nantianmen.
The person at the head was a middle-aged man, with a thin body and handsome features. He looked friendly with a smile. Behind him were two burly old men with sinewy faces, as if they were evil spirits, which made people frightened.
They came to Wenxin Road and raised their voices: "Qitianmen Xu Xiangshan pays homage to Master Xu!"
His voice slowly rose up and reached the ears of everyone in Wenxin Palace.
The real Nantianmen next to them was protected by a formation, so the sound could not be transmitted in, but Chu Li had already seen them, frowned and opened his eyes.
He was sitting on the couch in the house, quietly meditating on the Flying Star Technique and the Xuan Kong Mirror.
"Elder Xu is here, please come up and meet us!" Xu Qiang's voice followed.
Xu Qiang happened to be talking to Sima Xing, the master of the Wenxin Palace.
He walked out of the Wenxin Hall, and Sima Xing followed him out, frowning and saying, "Why is he here?"
Xu Qiang shook his head.
Sima Xing said: "This guy is very difficult to deal with. Nothing good will happen if he comes!"
"That's not necessarily the case." Xu Qiang said, "Maybe it's a good thing."
Sima Xing shook his head.
The three of them, Xu Xiangshan and others, walked slowly on the road to ask the heart, walking up step by step, and finally came to the front of the hall of asking the heart.
Xu Qiang and Sima Xing stood on the steps, clasping their fists and smiling.
Xu Qiang said: "Elder Xu is a rare visitor. How can he have the time to come to our Nantianmen? Come in and have a cup of tea!"
"Sorry to bother you." Xu Xiangshan said with a smile.
He led the two old men up the steps and entered the main hall. He looked around at the Wenxin Palace and sighed: "The last time Xu came here was a hundred years ago. The place has not changed."
"It's been a hundred years." Sima Xing said: "At that time, Elder Xu's cultivation level was not so high, and his reputation was not so great."
Xu Xiangshan is now one of the top masters of Qitianmen. In the past hundred years, he has risen suddenly and soared to the sky, which is staggering. He obviously got some adventure. When he came here a hundred years ago, he was just a rising star. Now he is already famous. Elder.
"Haha..." Xu Xiangshan sighed: "Things are different and people are different... The owner of the door is busy, Xu will not be long-winded, just get straight to the point."
Xu Qiang stretched out his hand and sat on the main seat, indicating to sit down and talk.
A young man in green shirt came up to serve tea and then left gently.
After the young man left, Xu Xiangshan did not open the tea cup, but gently placed it on the coffee table next to him, sighing: "We wanted to come here for help."
"Oh—?" Xu Qiang was startled and said with a smile, "How do you say this?"
Xu Xiangshan said: "I am ashamed to say that there is a traitor in our sect and we are chasing him. However, this guy is extremely cunning and good at concealment. We actually lost him. It is a family scandal!"
"This is inevitable." Xu Qiang shook his head and said, "It's not a scandal."
"Our sect originally had a priest who was good at deducing heavenly secrets, but this time he was seriously injured and couldn't take action. There was nothing he could do if he was anxious... No, I heard that your sect recently got a priest who was also good at deducing heaven's secrets. A secret." Xu Xiangshan smiled and said: "Xu is here to borrow someone on the order of the sect master. Please help me to catch this traitor. I will be grateful!"
"This..." Xu Qiang muttered: "Li Gongfeng is not in the sect and is practicing elsewhere. So, I will pass the news to him and discuss it with him to see if he can spare time."
Xu Xiangshan said: "This matter is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed. Xu is waiting here for news from the sect master!"
"So anxious?" Xu Qiang said with a smile: "It's just a traitor, just kill him if you find him."
Xu Xiangshan shook his head and said: "The nights are long and there are many dreams. If he really wants to risk everything, he doesn't know how much trouble he will cause!"
"... That's true." Xu Qiang nodded: "Okay, I'll go ask Li Gongfeng."
He hugged his fists, left in a flash, and appeared outside Chuli's courtyard the next moment.
"Master, please come in." Chu Li's voice sounded.
Xu Qiang opened the door and came in. Chu Li had already left the house and came to the small courtyard.
"Li Gongfeng, Qitianmen has come to ask for help and wants you to help track down a traitor. What do you think?" Xu Qiang said: "Qitianmen is crazy in what they do, but they are also generous and can get a lot of benefits."
Chu Li shook his head: "Master, I need to focus on my cultivation now, I'm afraid I won't be able to separate myself."
Xu Qiang hesitated.
Qitianmen is not so easy to refuse. Even if it is Nantianmen, even though Xu Xiangshan is smiling, he is a smiling tiger. If he really refuses, he will not give Qitian the appearance.
PS: After the update, I over-consumed it as soon as it broke out, and I felt old.
