On the street heading to Doushen Tower, Fei Yingming, the leader of the Ghost Sect, and Ling Ying, the leader of the Spirit Clan, happened to run into each other.
Fei Yingming was followed by Qi Long and nearly a hundred disciples who were in the realm of reincarnation. Most of them had just come out of the deserted ruins.
But there was only one person behind Lingying, and that was Lu Yu, who was carrying an ancient book and had no color on his face.
Lingying looked sideways at Lu Yu and said, "Don't you still have something to do? I have something to talk to Master Fei Yingming here, so you can go first."
Lu Yu nodded slowly, glanced at Qilong with a smile, and then used the formation to go somewhere.
Fei Yingming said to Qi Long: "Qi Liang has been gone for so long, and there is still no news at all. Please take them over to have a look."
Upon hearing this, Qilong continued to rush towards Doushen Tower with the disciples of the Ghost Sect behind him without any hesitation. Logically speaking, Qilong would have completed his mission and returned by now.
However, for some unknown reason, he could not be seen, so Qilong brought people here to look for him.
Also, Lingying wanted to send Lu Yu away because she obviously had something important to tell him. Since Fei Yingming had many disciples behind him, he naturally wanted to find a reason to let them leave.
It happened that Qi Liang had not returned for a long time, and not far ahead was the Fighting God Tower. He could just use this to send his disciples away easily.
After the disciples of the Ghost Sect left, Lingying asked with a smile: "Did Qiliang go to report the news?"
"Uh..." Fei Yingming didn't know whether she had returned to Shun Dao Mansion, so he didn't answer her directly.
Lingying smiled nonchalantly and didn't take it seriously, and continued to ask: "Sect Master Fei Yingming also received Jiang Qi's message, right?"
Fei Yingming hummed, nodded without hesitation and replied: "I got it."
Lingying got straight to the point: "Now that I have received it, why do you dare to help those little guys openly? You should know very well that by doing so, you are risking the future fate of the ghost sect."
"You Fei Yingming have always been shrewd, so you won't be confused about this matter, right? Even if they recovered your son's bones, you wouldn't do this if you didn't have any status, right?"
In just a few words, she had already told the reason why Fei Yingming helped Ziyang and the others, and her guess was quite accurate.
Fei Yingming saw that she had guessed about 70% or 80%, so he said without any secret: "You are right! I will not gamble with the future of Guimen, but the fact that I dare to do so means that I have a certain degree of certainty. "
"Don't you want to know why I want to help them? I can tell you why now. It's because there are descendants of the old sword god among them. That's why I dare to bet on the future of the Ghost Sect."
As soon as he said these words, Lingying's expression suddenly changed. Although it was a bit incredible, judging from Fei Yingming's tone and his facial expression when he spoke just now, she felt that this matter should be true.
Because Fei Yingming had no reason to deceive her, and only an extremely powerful person like the old sword god could give him the confidence he deserved.
Lingying slowly shook her head and said in shock: "Who would have thought that a seemingly ordinary young man would have such a big background behind him."
"It's just..." She stared into Fei Yingming's eyes and asked quietly, "How did you know?"
Fei Yingming said calmly: "Old Sword God, he once visited my ghost gate. You should have heard about this, right?"
Lingying said: "I heard it before, but I didn't expect it to be true."
In the past, she had heard people say that the old sword god had been to the Ghost Gate. At that time, she didn't believe it and thought it was impossible.
Who is the old sword god? And who is Fei Yingming? There is a huge gap in identity, strength, status, etc. between the two. Who would believe that these two people have some relationship?
Besides, in a desolate place like Liangcheng, the strength of cultivators is already lagging behind, so why would the old sword god at his peak come here?
It was only today that she realized that the original rumors were true, and that he, Fei Yingming, had actually met the old sword god and even entertained him.
Seeing her thinking for a long time, Fei Yingming said intentionally: "Chief Lingying, are you planning to block my way? Or are you willing to take a gamble with me?"
Lingying spread her hands and said, "I have already explained everything when I came here. Otherwise, I should be kneeling in the main hall of Daofu now, waiting for other people's orders."
Fei Yingming said with a smile: "You didn't express your attitude to them. It's not too late to rush to Dao Mansion now. There is no need to bet the entire Spirit Clan."
At this point in his words, Lingying could hear his distrust of her, and immediately said: "I heard that Jiang Qi and the others have already set off. I'm afraid you, Fei Yingming, can't stop them. I will help you stop them." .”
"Besides, Bubai has announced his withdrawal from Sanwang Palace. No one can be sure whether Xiaoxiong will give in to others for the sake of Sanwang Palace."
Fei Yingming frowned after hearing this. If Lingying hadn't reminded him, he would have almost ignored Xiaoxiong.
With Bubai's departure, no matter how deep the hatred between the two sects of Sanwang Palace, Daofu, and Jiange is, they will let it go.
In the face of absolute power, they have no room for resistance. Struggling means destruction, and surrender can only survive.
While the two were talking, Qi Long hurried back with the disciples of the Ghost Sect and shouted: "Sect Master, Sect Master, something bad has happened. I don't know who knocked Qiliang unconscious and had him thrown on the street." On."
Fei Yingming was quite shocked and said: "What?!"
He thought that something might happen to Qiliang, but he never expected that Qiliang would be knocked unconscious and thrown on the street.
Qi Long turned his head and urged: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, help him over."
Soon, two Ghost Sect disciples helped Qiliang come over. Fei Yingming immediately asked: "Qiliang, what is going on? Have you completed the task I gave you?"
Qi Liang said regretfully: "Master, I was attacked and knocked unconscious just as I arrived near Dou Shen Tower. I didn't even get through the threshold of Dou Shen Tower."
Lingying frowned slightly and asked, "Sneak attack? Is the person who knocked you unconscious a member of Daofu or Jiange?"
Qiliang said helplessly: "I don't know. That person knocked me unconscious from behind without me noticing. Let alone seeing his face clearly, I don't even know whether that person is a boy or a girl."
Fei Yingming was worried that Ziyang and the others had been captured, so he hurriedly said: "It's broken! We're going to miss something important. Let's go! Let's go!"
He led the Gui Sect disciples to the Fighting God Tower in a hurry. Lingying walked a few steps quickly and came to his side to comfort him: "Sect Master Fei Yingming, don't be anxious first. It's better to let these disciples under your sect go first." Everyone go back."
Fei Yingming knew that she was afraid that the people from Daofu would know her whereabouts, so she immediately said to Qilong: "Qilong, you and Qiliang take them back and tell the elders in the sect that they must protect the sect."

On the street outside Doushen Tower
Zifu looked at Luo Yuan beside him with satisfaction and said, "It seems that I really have to take you to see the world in the future. Otherwise, you will never feel pressure."
Luo Yuan, who was carrying a mahogany sword, smiled and suddenly saw people standing on both sides of the street in Doushen Tower. Judging from the clothes they were wearing, they seemed to be disciples of Daofu and Jiange.
Luo Yuan pointed at the people outside Doushen Tower and said in a slightly panic: "Brother, look, what are they doing here at this late hour without sleeping?"
"What do you care about them? They are the powerful forces in Liang City. You can do whatever you want. There is no need to panic." Seeing that something was wrong with him, Zifu asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Yuan whispered: "Don't forget, Zi Yang has a divine sword in his hand. These people are not here for him, right?"
Zi Fu thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "This is a possibility, but we don't rule out other possibilities. Let's just ask the store clerk."
The two entered Doushen Building. Luo Yuan saw that the clerk had already fallen asleep on the counter. He raised his hand and knocked on the counter. The clerk rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Luo Yuan looked around at the disciples of Daofu and Jiange, and asked in a low voice in the ear of the shop assistant: "What's going on?"
The store clerk said calmly: "It's okay, sir, these people are not here to arrest you. You should go back to your room and rest quickly."
When Luo Yuan heard this, he slapped the counter with a bang. The disciples of Dao Mansion and Jiang Pavilion all around him cast strange looks.
He deliberately raised his voice and said, "Let me ask you, who are they looking for?"
Seeing how arrogant he was, a disciple from the Five Realms of Reincarnation in Daofu glared at him and said sternly: "Boy, you are looking for death!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and other disciples gathered around him. Soon, Zifu and Luo Yuan were surrounded in front of the counter.
Zifu hurriedly stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Hey, hey, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, my junior brother has a bad temper, and I didn't mean to offend you."
"Your junior brother has a bad temper? I have a bad temper too!" The leader pushed Zi Fu away and said, "Catch him!"
The store clerk was so frightened that he hurriedly hid under the counter, but how could a person in the Reincarnation Realm be the opponent of Luo Yuan in the Yin Ji Realm? In just a few breaths, all those who stepped forward to capture Luo Yuan fell to the ground wailing.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the leading man turned around and ran towards the door, shouting loudly: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
After hearing his shout, the people standing outside Doushen Tower rushed in. When they saw their fellow disciples on the ground, they crowded together tightly. No one dared to take the lead in arresting Luo Yuan.
Seeing the flustered Daofu and Jiange disciples, Luo Yuan said expressionlessly: "Get out!"
"Go, go, go, go."
"Go quickly, go quickly!"
Zifu looked at the two sect disciples who were scared away, looked helplessly at Luo Yuan, and said: "No. I said you kid is deliberately trying to drag me into the water, right?"
Luo Yuan did not answer him directly, but said casually: "Senior brother, those people look down on others. I am being very kind by not killing them."
Zi Fu was so angry that he pinched his waist with both hands and said directly: "Humph! Stop doing this. Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?"
Luo Yuan spread his hands and said with an innocent smile: "Senior brother, you can't say that. What bad thoughts can I have about your junior brother?"
