It was not far from Mount Jiuhua. Mu Jingyu and the six of them flew down with their swords. Just after noon, they saw the Tianjue Peak towering in the distance.
Qin Yunchuan stood on the fairy sword and suddenly shouted: "Oh, I almost forgot, we left the master secretly. If we return to the master rashly now, it will be hard to say if someone discovers us."
When they left that valley, they didn't think about how to return. Now if we go back from the original route, the secret passage in the valley can only be opened from the outside, so how can we get back to Jiuhua Mountain?
Mu Jingyu smiled and said: "Brother Qin, have you forgotten that the Dao Discussion Conference is about to start? We used human skin masks to change our appearance, pretending to be ordinary casual cultivators and sneaking into the master's sect. We are looking for an opportunity to return to Reflection Cliff. That’s it?”
"That's right." Qin Yunchuan said with an embarrassed smile: "Look at my brain, I was only thinking about the list just now, and I didn't even think of this method."
Now that they have to return to their master in disguise, they can no longer fly with their swords. After finding a place where no one was paying attention, he changed his appearance again. However, considering the clothes they were wearing, they were still the same ones they wore when they intercepted Yi Hong. In order to prevent being caught by Yi Hong, he decided to go to a nearby city first and change again.
Logically speaking, they came from the northwest, and the nearest city should be Heyang City they passed by on the way. But after Qin Yunchuan saw Heyang City from a distance, he suddenly remembered something.
When he was following Tian Lianxi to Huayang City, before leaving, he entrusted Master Lin and Shopkeeper Wang to send people back to the blue water and clouds to ask Di Nanxun and Qijue Scholar to draw a painting to seduce Dinan. Found the portrait of the young man in black robe in Mount Emei.
But later, when they heard that Zhou Yan and the others were in danger, he and Mu Jingyu rushed to rescue them, but they actually forgot about it. After seeing Heyang City, I suddenly remembered.
Now that we have come this far, why not take a long detour and visit Huayang City first. Presumably after more than ten days, Altar Master Lin had already obtained the portrait.
Zhou Yan and the others were sent to the Netherworld Ghost State by Master Tianyang as soon as they returned to the mountain. Of course, they didn't know that Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan had entrusted the portraits of Di Nanxun and Qijue Scholar. Under their questioning, Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan recounted all their previous guesses.
When they heard that Dinan Xun was bewitched by the young man in black robes that day and then left the clear water and clouds, the three of them couldn't help but guess the true identity of the young man in black robes. However, several people concluded the same as Mu Jingyu, thinking that the young man in black robe was Han Yao.
After entering the city, Qin Yunchuan led the way and led five people to the restaurant where Wangxian Tower was stationed. In order to attract the attention of shopkeeper Wang, Qin Yunchuan deliberately changed his face back to his original appearance.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the restaurant, the waiter who was busy saw him and immediately asked another person to take over the work in his hands, trotted over and guided the six people to the private room on the second floor.
"Young heroes, wait a moment. I will inform the shopkeeper now." The waiter skillfully made a cup of tea for each of the six people, then turned and walked downstairs.
Not long after, Qin Yunchuan, who was leaning in front of the window, saw Shopkeeper Wang and Master Lin hurriedly walking from a distance. The waiter, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, said something to the two of them and led them to open the door of the private room.
Lord Lin, who walked in first, immediately saw Qin Yunchuan, who had changed into the same appearance as that day, sitting at the top of the room facing the door. Then he looked around and saw five other unfamiliar faces, all of whom raised their heads and stared at him.
Although he didn't know the identities of the other five people, Altar Master Lin still clasped his fists and said, "Young hero, Mr. Lin and Mr. Wang are so late, I hope you can forgive me."
Qin Yunchuan then stood up and raised his hands and said, "What did Master Lin say? We came here rashly. We brothers are very grateful that Master Lin and Shopkeeper Wang can come to meet us."
After everyone exchanged polite greetings, they sat down one after another. After the waiter in the shop wisely brought some drinks and snacks, he closed the door and stood guard outside to prevent anyone from approaching.
After Altar Master Lin and Shopkeeper Wang got the news, they knew the purpose of Qin Yunchuan's visit on the way here. Just considering that there were five unfamiliar faces beside him, he didn't dare to take out the portrait as soon as he came up.
After a brief silence, Qin Yunchuan said: "Master Lin and Shopkeeper Wang, have the things I entrusted you to do before come to fruition?"
After two days of looking at each other, he glanced around at the other five people at the same time. Qin Yunchuan understood the concerns of the two of them and said quickly: "The five people around me are all my own. You can rest assured. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
Shopkeeper Wang nodded, took out a scroll from his arms, put it on the table and said, "Young hero, please take a look, this is the painting made by Qijue Scholar based on what Di Nanxun said."
Qin Yunchuan did not take action. Mu Jingyu, who was sitting aside, stood up first and slowly unfolded the scroll. Zhou Yan and Su Yingying also stood up and looked at the scroll together.
As the scroll slowly unfolded, a fat young man wearing a black robe appeared in front of everyone.
"Ah! This is not Han Yao, why is it Tian Lianxi!" Because the young man in black robe depicted on the scroll is not the Han Yao that several people were sure of before, but Tian Lianxi who they never expected. Zhou Yan was surprised and did not hoarse his voice, thus revealing his original voice.
Altar Master Lin and Shopkeeper Wang, who were still sitting aside, looked at Zhou Yan at the same time. I thought to myself, why does this rough and arrogant man in front of me sound like a daughter? But when I thought about it again, I realized that these people were all disguised.
Now that Zhou Yan's true colors have been revealed and there are no outsiders here, Altar Master Lin and Shopkeeper Wang can trust him. Mu Jingyu no longer wanted to hide anything, so he took off his mask and revealed his true colors.
"Master Lin, Shopkeeper Wang, let me ask one more question. When you were entrusted by Brother Qin to send people to the clear water and clouds to ask Senior Di and Senior Qijue to draw this portrait, did any outsiders know?" Mu Jingyu Worried that Han Yao also had spies in Tianji Pavilion or Wangxian Tower, he secretly changed the portrait after getting the news. After all, he still didn't believe that the young man in black robe that day was not Han Yao but Tian Lianxi.
"This young hero should be Mu Jingyu Mu Shaoxia." Shopkeeper Wang is indeed a man with rich experience. Just from Mu Jingyu's names for Di Nanxun and Qi Jue Scholar, he can guess his name. identity. Coupled with the fact that he had taken off the mask himself, it was even more certain.
Mu Jingyu nodded, acknowledging Shopkeeper Wang's guess.
Shopkeeper Wang said: "Young Master Mu, you can rest assured. After being entrusted by Young Master Qin, Old Man and Master Lin did not dare to bother others to handle this matter. But the two of us went to the clear water and clouds to obtain this portrait in person. Yes, I guarantee that no one will tamper with you on the road."
After getting the exact answer from the two of them, Mu Jingyu and the others fell into deep thought for a while. Everyone couldn't understand why Tian Lianxi suddenly arrived at Bishui Yuanjian and lured Dinan to Mount Emei.
If it were Han Yao, this matter could still be figured out. After all, all the spies hidden in various factions were secretly planted by his Han family. Na Suci was able to contact Han Yao through the Emei sect's spies. But Tian Lianxi is just someone the Han family has attracted in the Jiuhua Sect, and he will not and cannot come into contact with the spies of the Emei Sect!
"Let me tell you, we can think of using disguise to hide our true colors, but Han Yao can't think of it? I think it must have been Han Yao who disguised himself as Tian Lianxi that day and deceived Di...Di Nan It came out." Shi Dahong was simple-minded and of course he would not think deeply about the reasons. However, it was his simplicity of thinking that made a few people's eyes light up.
"Junior Brother Shi is right, why didn't we think of it." After Qin Yunchuan praised Shi Dahong, he then said, "But what is the purpose of Han Yao doing this?"
"It's nothing more than hiding his identity and blaming Tian Lianxi." Mu Jingyu said: "Han Yao must be worried that if we follow this line of investigation, we will find him out, so he disguised himself as Tian Lianxi It’s just that he calculated everything, but he didn’t expect that I would have caught the evidence that the Han family colluded with the Jiuli tribe!”
"Hmm..." Qin Yunchuan nodded and said: "Jingyu, I think your analysis is good. If you want to look at it this way, then we would have troubled Altar Master Lin and Shopkeeper Wang to go to the Blue Water Clouds in person to get this portrait. It’s no longer necessary.”
Mu Jingyu put away the scroll and said, "It's not in vain. In case you didn't overhear the conversation between Han Yao and Tian Lianxi, with this portrait, you can still follow the portrait to check There is evidence that Han Yao and his Han family colluded with the Jiuli tribe. It just takes a little more time and effort."
Mu Jingyu said, suddenly paused, and then continued: "I still don't understand why Han Yao agreed to help Master Sumian and lure Brother Di to Mount Emei to rescue her. Could it be that... …Is it just so that I can get the Tianxiang wood from Master Su Mian’s hands, causing the Emei sect to hate me, and then trigger a conflict between the Jiuhua sect and the Emei sect?”
"Besides this reason, is there any other reason?" Qin Yunchuan said: "Jingyu, don't think so much. I think Han Yao's previous arrangements were not only to cooperate with the Jiuli tribe to disrupt the entire righteous path. In addition to preparing for their return to the Netherworld Ghost State, I just want to frame you in order to avenge you for stealing my love and the heart of Junior Sister Su."
On the way back, Su Yingying had already heard the two people talk about the cause and effect. When Qin Yunchuan mentioned this matter, her pretty face turned red again.
"Maybe..." For some reason, Mu Jingyu always felt that things would not be that simple. But judging from the current situation, I can't think of any other reasons.
Altar Master Lin and Shopkeeper Wang, who had been silent until now, were shocked when they suddenly heard Qin Yunchuan mention the Jiuli tribe and Han Yao's assistance to them.
Altar Master Lin asked: "Young Master Qin, what did you just say? What happened to the Jiuli tribe?"
"By the way, Altar Master Lin didn't ask, I almost forgot." Mu Jingyu said: "This time, Brother Qin, Senior Sister Zhou and I followed the order of the master master and secretly went to Netherworld Ghost State. After one trip, I not only found out the true identity of the men in black robes, but also got their plans."
Mu Jingyu suddenly thought that although they knew the plans of the Jiuli tribe and the Han family, what if things changed again? If we can get help from a group of casual cultivators such as Zhenren Taier, as well as the two Dharma Kings of Yaoming Palace, we will have even more protection.
At present, the Ice City has long been attached to the Jiuli tribe, and many spies have been secretly planted in various sects, preparing to help the Jiuli tribe return to Kyushu. And all the things that happened before were all part of the conspiracy they set up behind the scenes.
Mu Jingyu originally wanted to make a copy of the list he got from Yi Hong and give it to the two of them to take to the clear water and clouds. But then I thought about it, although through the portrait, I can be sure that Altar Master Lin and Shopkeeper Wang were not attracted by the Han family.
It's just that the list is too important. If something goes wrong on the way, I can't imagine the consequences. After weighing the pros and cons, Mu Jingyu had to give up the idea of letting Master Taier get the list and help him control the spies secretly infiltrating various sects.
Altar Master Lin and Shopkeeper Wang became more frightened the more they heard, knowing that once the Jiuli tribe succeeded, not only the righteous sects would be dealt a huge blow, but they, the casual cultivators, and tens of millions of living beings in Jiuzhou would also be affected.
If he dared to stay any longer, he hurriedly said a few words, bid farewell to Mu Jingyu and others, rushed back to the blue water and clouds again, and told the matter to Master Taier and others.
