"What?"
In the Demon City, Su Baiyi jumped up in surprise after listening to Nangong Xier's description: "The Tianmen Holy Sect actually came to help the Weilong Alliance! Then why was the entire sect wiped out in the end and was given the name of a demon sect?"
"Back then, the visitors from Yingzhou were repelled, Su Han died in battle, and the Immortal Mountain disappeared on the shore of the South China Sea, but a secret book was left behind. The name of the martial arts was not written on the secret book, but later we all got used to calling it the Immortal Book. This secret book is in Nangong Yunhuo's possession." Mo Wen said slowly, "Shanglin Tiangong's acting Palace Master Ning Qingcheng asked him for it, but Nangong Yunhuo did not give it to him."
"Just because of this, you want to kill the whole family?" Su Baiyi's eyes widened.
"On the surface, it is like this, but in reality, it is far from that simple. Nangong Yunhuo is on good terms with Su Han, but not with Shanglin Palace. The battle against Yingzhou allowed Ning Qingcheng to see the power of Tianmen Holy Sect. If Tianmen Holy Sect leaves, and with the secret book left by Yingzhou in hand, Shanglin Palace, which has lost Su Han and Xie Kanhua, will never be able to maintain its position as the world's number one." Mo Wen sighed, "And the three major sects of Daze Prefecture are even more afraid of the Yunhuang Sect across the river."
"Then why is Tianmen Holy Sect unwilling to give out the secret book?" Nangong Xier suddenly asked, "Is it really my uncle who has selfish motives?"
"Nangong Yunhuo said that there were traitors in Shanglin Heavenly Palace, and it was those traitors who killed Su Han." Mo Wen said quietly.
"Ning Qingcheng?" Su Baiyi and Nangong Xier said in unison.
Mo Wen smiled and said, "Everyone's reaction was the same, because after Su Han died, Ning Qingcheng became the acting palace master, and he was the biggest beneficiary. Although Nangong Yunhuo never said who he thought the traitor was until his death, everyone, including Ning Qingcheng himself, felt that Nangong Yunhuo was talking about him. So Ning Qingcheng used the excuse that the Tianmen Holy Sect was trying to monopolize the Immortal Book and intended to annex other sects, and launched another war on the coast of the South China Sea. It was this war that caused the entire Tianmen Holy Sect to fall apart."
"I have another question." Su Baiyi frowned and said, "Why didn't Nangong Yunhuo destroy the secret book? In this way, he would not be conquered in the end."
"Because the visitors from Yingzhou are not dead, they just left. They claim that they will be back soon. And by that time, without Su Han, the Confucian Sage and the Taoist Master will no longer be able to fight with all their strength. How can we fight again?" Mo Wen tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "Practicing the Immortal Book may be a solution."
Su Baiyi nodded, but still frowned, as if there were still many doubts that had not been resolved.
"You still have a lot of questions." Mo Wen saw his confusion.
Su Baiyi and Nangong Xier looked at each other and said, "There are indeed many things that I don't understand."
"There is only one person in the world who knows everything." Mo Wen said with a smile.
"Who?" Su Baiyi and Nangong Xier asked at the same time.
"Xie Kanhua." Mo Wen said calmly, "Xie Kanhua had always been by Su Han's side, fought against visitors from Yingzhou several times, and had a very close relationship with Nangong Yunhuo. Many people thought that he died with Su Han, but he survived and stole the first half of the Immortal Book, so I guess he is the one who knows the whole truth."
Su Baiyi scratched his head: "But my master didn't tell me anything, and taught me such a weird martial art without my consent, which made me run around now...
"If he doesn't say it, he must have his reasons." Mo Wen said slowly.
"Forget it. I will ask him clearly when I see him. But at least you have got an answer, Senior Sister. All this is Ning Qingcheng's doing! When we rescue Master and defeat Ning Qingcheng, we will go to Lin Tian Palace to give an explanation to the world."
Mo Wen shook his head and smiled: "Su Baiyi, Su Baiyi, in fact, after talking for so long, you haven't realized one thing."
Su Baiyi looked confused: "What's the problem?"
"Ning Qingcheng is still only the acting Palace Master of Shanglin Palace. Do you know why?" Mo Wen looked at Su Baiyi with a smile.
Su Baiyi shook his head and said, "Because he was injured by the second senior brother, he has not been able to become a regular employee
"Hahahaha. I don't know how Xie Kanhua taught you as his apprentice. Sometimes you are very smart, but sometimes you are very stupid." Mo Wen looked at Nangong Xier, "Does Miss Nangong know?"
Nangong Xier replied, "That's because Shanglin Palace is a gang established based on Weilong Mountain. Weilong Mountain belongs to the Su family. In principle, the Grand Palace Master of Shanglin Palace is the head of the Su family. But now the Su family has lost its talents, and the main family of Su Han has no descendants. The disciples of the branch family barely control the gold mine family business of Weilong Mountain, so the position of Grand Palace Master can only be held by Ning Qingcheng."
"Oh, that's how it is. After all this time, it turns out that Shanglin Tiangong is a family sect." Su Baiyi suddenly realized.
Mo Wen looked at Su Baiyi, tilted his head and frowned.
Su Baiyi also looked at Mo Wen, tilted his head, and looked confused.
"What's your last name?" Mo Wen had no choice but to ask.
"My last name is Su." Su Baiyi replied.
"Which Su?" Mo Wen asked again.
Su Baiyi frowned, then opened his mouth slightly: "So I am..."
"Yes, you finally understand." Mo Wen smiled, "You are the patriarch of the Weilongshan Su family, and the legitimate Grand Palace Master of Shanglin Palace. In front of you, Ning Qingcheng is just a subordinate who is in charge."
Su Baiyi stood up and pointed outside: "But the people from Shanglin Palace are surrounding me outside, staring at me covetously."
"Because you can't prove your identity." Mo Wen smiled, "You have to go to Weilong Mountain."
"Blood test?" Su Baiyi asked in confusion.
Mo Wen sighed helplessly: "Knock Ning Qingcheng down."
Su Baiyi shrugged: "So we still have to defeat Ning Qingcheng."
Mo Wen stood up and said, "That's the end of the story for now. Go back and think about it carefully. If you have anything else to ask, feel free to ask me. You are all guests from afar. Don't think about the powerful enemies surrounding you. Relax and walk around the city. My Demon City doesn't interact with the outside world. It doesn't make much difference whether the city is sealed or not."
Su Baiyi immediately raised his hand: "City Lord, I have one last question."
"you say."
"How did the secret book get left behind? It couldn't have been left behind intentionally by visitors from Yingzhou, so could it be a trap, deliberately causing the major sects to kill each other?"
"No, the secret book was brought by a girl from Yingzhou."
"How come it's not? Aren't they visitors from Yingzhou?"
"No, this girl is different. She is very kind and beautiful. In my opinion, she is the real fairy."
