"Let's ignore Tianxiaoyunjing for now. The most urgent thing is to deal with Demon City." Inside the tent, Mr. Long waved his hand and motioned everyone to sit down. After everyone sat down, they all looked a little strange, only the green-clothed man Xie Xing looked relaxed, raised the wine pot and poured himself a glass of wine.
"Everyone knows that the outside rumor is that Su Baiyi practiced Demon Sect's martial arts and was taken away by Demon Castle together with the Demon Sect's young master. Demon Castle also coveted the Demon Sect's martial arts on them." Wen Xi stood beside Mr. Long and said slowly.
No one said anything, only Xie Xing raised his head and drank a glass of wine.
“But although most of you did not participate in the battle against Tianmen that year, I believe that the elders in your families have told everyone what happened back then. There is no Demon Sect in the world at all.” Wen Xi said in a deep voice.
Dongfang Yun raised his head slightly, frowning, and looked at Mr. Long. Mr. Long drank a sip of tea and suddenly closed his eyes to rest.
"There is only the fairy mountain." Wen Xi continued.
Wang Ruoxu sighed softly, "My father once told me about this matter. He said that no matter what the truth is, the Demon Sect is the Demon Sect, and the Immortal Mountain has never existed. This is the decision of Shanglin Heavenly Palace. Why do you want to tell this matter in public now?"
"In the battle against Tianmen, the Weilong Alliance and the Tianmen Holy Sect fought against the visitors from Yingzhou. In the end, Grand Palace Master Su Han died in the battle, and the Immortal Mountain disappeared again on the shore of the South China Sea. However, the visitors from Yingzhou left behind a secret book. It is said that practicing the martial arts in it can make one immortal like them, and have peerless martial arts. After Grand Palace Master Su Han died in the battle, the secret book was obtained by Nangong Yunhuo of the Tianmen Holy Sect. Palace Master Ning asked Nangong Yunhuo for the secret book, and asked my Shanglin Heavenly Palace to keep it, but was rejected in the end. Because the Tianmen Holy Sect saw the power of the visitors from Yingzhou and wanted to monopolize the secret book." Wen Xi paused and continued, "In the end, the Tianmen Holy Sect was destroyed, and the secret book returned to the hands of Shanglin Heavenly Palace. In order to show fairness, Palace Master Ning divided the secret book into nine parts. Shanglin Heavenly Palace retained its mental method, and the four major families, the three families of Daze Mansion, and Jimo Sword City each got a copy. Everyone can enhance the strength of their own sect by studying the secret book in their hands."
Xie Xing smiled and said, "Why not tear it up? Wouldn't that put an end to all those troubles and free us from all these worries now?"
"The major factions of the Weilong Alliance suffered heavy losses, and they deserve compensation." Wen Xi said calmly, "Martial arts are never good or bad, it only depends on the character of the person practicing it."
"But the martial arts in the secret book almost made me a useless person after practicing it." Xie Xing glanced at Mu Xi, the head of the Tianshu Hall, who was sitting in a wheelchair. "I was even almost slandered that I was practicing the martial arts of the Demon Sect. The funny thing is that the Demon Sect doesn't even exist."
Wang Ruoxu's face turned pale and he pounded the table hard with his fist.
"I've said it before, there are no private affairs of the four major families within the tent." Mr. Long still had his eyes closed.
Wen Xi coughed lightly and continued, "Wuyu Tower owner Xie Kanhua, we originally thought he had died in the battle of Zhantianmen, but after we returned to Shanglin Palace, he suddenly reappeared and stole the secret manual and mental skills scroll from Shanglin Palace. Now Xie Kanhua has been captured and taken back to Shanglin Palace and imprisoned in the Nether Prison, and the mental skills scroll is in Su Baiyi's possession."
"So..." Dongfang Yun said with a smile, "What does this have to do with us?"
Xie Xing also lowered his head and smiled. Lu Tianxing, the head of the Lu family, touched the iron hammer on his waist and said, "I haven't turned a single page of that broken secret book since my father gave it to me. I can't understand it."
"If you haven't read even one page, how would you know you can't understand it?" Xie Xing asked.
Lu Tianxing blushed slightly and waved his hand: "Anyway, I just don't understand it."
Wang Ruoxu took a sip of wine and said slowly, "I have read the secret book many times. If there is no mental method, it will only harm people. When Palace Master Ning divided the secret book into nine parts, was it really to compensate us? Or did he have other ideas?"
"This is the first time we've seen the Book of Immortals, and we don't have a very deep understanding of it," Wen Xi replied.
"Such a simple sentence." Mu Xi patted his legs, "I don't know if such a simple sentence can make me stand up again."
"You want to stand up again, it's not impossible." Mr. Long opened his eyes, "If you read the first half of the mental method, do you have the confidence to stand up again?"
The gloomy aura on Mu Xi's body suddenly became even more gloomy. He raised his head and asked, "Are you willing to show it to me?"
“If we can finally capture Su Baiyi and take back the first half of the secret book from him, then I, Long, can make a promise to you. Everyone can read the secret book, and everyone has at least three days, and the person who makes the greatest contribution can read it for ten days.” Mr. Long said in a deep voice.
The expressions of the others changed slightly, Mu Xi was shaking with excitement, only Dongfang Yun was still smiling faintly.
"What are you laughing at, Brother Dongfang?" asked Mr. Long.
Dongfang Yun put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Excuse me, the head of Qingming Academy cannot make this promise yet."
"What did you say?" Mr. Long raised his head slightly.
"Most of us are the heads of various families. It was Su Han who sat together with the heads of various families during the Dragon Alliance. I respect Lord Dragon, but Lord Dragon, you really can't give this promise. I'm sorry." Dongfang Yun shook his head.
"Interesting." Mr. Long sneered, and everyone present immediately felt a sharp murderous aura suddenly surging out from behind them. Wang Ruoxu frowned slightly: "Brother Dongfang." He was a little confused. Why did Dongfang Yunwo, who had always been kind, suddenly become so aggressive.
"Then if I'm included, will that be enough to fulfill the promise?" A well-dressed young man stepped into the tent. To everyone, he had a young and unfamiliar face. Only a soaring crane painted on his body told everyone his identity.
"Bai He, the second master of Fu Sheng Zuimeng Tower?" Dongfang Yun said lightly.
Bai He nodded: "Meet Master Dongfang."
"Could it be that a second-floor master is more qualified to make this promise than a chief?" Lu Tianxing asked.
No one spoke.
Because he is indeed more qualified. Lu Tianxing's question is a very stupid one.
Bai He was not very famous in the martial arts world, and the second master of the third floor of Shanglin Palace was naturally not more honorable than the head of the fourth courtyard.
But the person represented by the white crane is Bai Jile.
Bai Jile, the Hand of Heaven, is now the real person in power in Shanglin Heavenly Palace.
Mr. Long's face turned pale and he raised his head and took a sip of wine.
Dongfang Yunwo looked at Baihe, and Baihe also looked at Dongfang Yunwo with a smile.
After a moment, Dongfang Yun nodded: "Okay, I believe in your promise."
