"but--"
"This damn old man sometimes talks to himself in the cave, but this little fairy heard something!" Yiyi said proudly.
During this time, Yang Zhen would take the little girl to play in the space, tell stories, or participate in various group activities. Gradually, Yiyi became less withdrawn, as if she was back to the lively little girl she was back then.
However, his dependence on Yang Zhen is getting deeper and deeper.
"What is it?" Yang Zhen asked quickly.
"The old man knows Zhou Yuan's whereabouts." Yiyi said: "He encouraged himself several times, saying that once he achieved the golden elixir, he would look for Zhou Yuan..."
…
In the stone house, Hong Zhengli looked at Wei Biao's body coldly, his face ashen.
"Where is there another person? Her Majesty the Queen, you promised us that these two people are in the cave and have not gone anywhere!"
Qin Mingyue looked around the stone house, which was less than ten feet in size, with surprise on her pretty face.
"Master Hong, calm down," she said in a deep voice: "There must be something wrong here. My men...forget it, it's useless to talk about it now. This is our negligence. If there is anything wrong with your sect, Dissatisfied, we, we are willing to take corresponding responsibility."
Her frank and self-blaming attitude made Hong Zhengli unable to get angry. He held it in for a long time and sighed: "I don't know whether this Zhou Yuan is arrogant or really knows something, hey. !”
"Brother, head!" Yang Zhen said: "Wei Biao has a close relationship with Zhou Yuan. He is like father and son. He must know where Zhou Yuan has gone. In this case, why not search for his soul while he has just died and his soul has not dissipated. ?”
Qin Mingyue's eyes lit up.
"No!" Hong Zhengli categorically objected:
"This is absolutely impossible! Before we left, our ancestors had told us that after capturing the two Wei Biao, they would be put directly into spirit beast bags and sent back to the sect for interrogation by the old man himself. We are not allowed to talk to them. Don’t even listen to their nonsense!”
"Can't you even ask?" Yang Zhen was dumbfounded.
Hong Zhengli blushed and nodded awkwardly.
After so many years, he was not unaware that his ancestor was hiding something from him.
However, since the ancestor didn't say anything, he, the head of the Yunxiao Sect, could only pretend not to know, let alone ask around.
If he didn't even have this awareness, the position of the leader would have been changed for who knows how many years.
In the world of immortality, strength always determines everything.
"If any secrets are found out from Wei Biao's soul, the rest of us will be miserable!" He warned.
"But," Yang Zhen said hesitantly, "Zhou Yuan's whereabouts are unknown now. If we don't find him in time and let him talk nonsense, wouldn't it be even more detrimental to the sect?"
"Junior Brother Yang's words make sense." Yan Chengye agreed.
"But, the ancestor's order..." Hong Zhengli looked confused.
He has never been the kind of decisive person. Over the years, he has always acted under Yan Xiling's instructions, obeying his orders and never making mistakes.
This habit has become deeply ingrained, and now it is almost impossible for him to disobey his ancestor's orders and forcibly search for souls.
Moreover, his mind is like a mirror. No matter whether he finds out any secrets in the end, as long as he does this, the leader will be done.
"No!" He sternly refused again.
…
Yang Zhen was lost in thought at this moment.
He thought of what Mu Zixue once said——
"My identity is related to the life and death of Yunxiao Sect..."
Afterwards, Mu Zixue told him that it was impossible for Wei Biao to find out her details.
He was convinced at the time.
But now, he doesn't dare to be so sure.
There is no doubt that Wei Biao must hold the secret that affects the life and death of the sect.
Otherwise, he would not have shouted so arrogantly before his death, wanting to watch the Yunxiao Sect's destruction from the sky.
He must have enough confidence to believe that the secret he knows is enough to save the Yunxiao Sect from catastrophe.
But, what is this secret?
Could it be related to Zixue?
It should be related. For a sect, one of these secrets that matter to life and death is enough to be thrilling. Could there be two more?
If that were the case, could the Yunxiao Sect still survive to this day?
I'm afraid that the ancestor of Xiling himself is also murmuring in his heart!
Otherwise, why would he give such a stern warning to Hong Zhengli before setting off?
Zhou Yuan must be found.
Not only for the sect, but also for Mu Zixue, he must uncover Zhou Yuan and find him before he leaks the secret!
…
"Search for souls! We must find out Zhou Yuan's whereabouts!" He looked at Hong Zhengli with firm eyes:
"I am the true disciple of my ancestor. Here, on behalf of my master, I give permission to search for Wei Biao's soul!"
In the world of cultivating immortals, true disciples can often directly represent their master, and their relationship is even greater than that of father and son, so what Yang Zhen said does not go beyond the rules.
Of course, it is also common for true disciples to falsely convey the imperial edict and be expelled or even executed after making serious mistakes.
Yang Zhen's move undoubtedly put herself in danger.
"If this secret is indeed related to Mu Zixue, she won't just sit back and watch, right?" Yang Zhen laughed at herself, feeling unsure.
He and this mysterious Nascent Soul woman have not yet reached the point of being in love with each other.
Even though they have had sex many times.
Hong Zhengli and Yan Chengye looked at each other, with an imperceptible joy flashing in their eyes.
"Junior Brother Yang," he said seriously: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"
"I have thought about it," Yang Zhen said with a solemn expression: "No matter what the consequences are, I will bear them alone!"
"You can only bear it alone!" Hong Zhengli said coldly: "If you insist on doing this, I will not stop you. However, I will not search for Wei Biao's soul, which belongs to the ancestor. Order. I will never do anything that goes against the wishes of my ancestor!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked away until he reached the pavilion outside the cave, where he took out a pot of spiritual tea and began to drink tea by himself.
Yang Zhen was furious, what an irresponsible leader!
Yan Chengye glanced at Yang Zhen, chuckled, and walked out.
Only Yang and Qin were left in the cave.
Qin Mingyue looked at him solemnly: "Yang Lang, do you have to search for this person's soul?"
Wei Biao is the pinnacle of the Zifu, half-step golden elixir, and if you want to search his soul, your cultivation level must be higher than his.
At this time, only Qin Mingyue can do it in the cave.
Mu Zixue's figure flashed before Yang Zhen's eyes, and she nodded without hesitation: "You must search, otherwise, I won't worry!"
"Okay!" Qin Mingyue smiled: "Then let me give it a try. In fact, let's just think of Wei Biao as someone who has already explained his affairs to me, isn't it over?"
…
That night, Yunxiao Peak, Jiuxiao Palace
Yang Zhen and Hong Zhengli, who rushed back early, asked to see their ancestor.
"Zhengli, you go out first." Yan Xiling waved his hand unceremoniously.
Hong Zhengli didn't show any displeasure on his face, he even breathed a secret sigh of relief, bowed and left.
Half a quarter of an hour after he left, the door to the left wing quietly opened. Mu Zixue walked out and found a seat at random under the stage to sit down.
"Sit down," Yan Xiling smiled brightly. He moved his left hand gently to move a seat behind Yang Zhen, and then said slowly: "Tell me, what did your Taoist Queen Queen find?"
"The poison Hall Master Wei took has the effect of devouring the soul. It was delayed for some time, and when Mingyue searched for the soul, only some scattered fragments were left." Yang Zhen said loudly.
"Oh? Is there anything useful in these fragments?"
"There are two incomplete pieces of information," Yang Zhen said: "First, Zhou Yuan's hiding place should be near a spiritual mountain called Beiyun Mountain."
"Well, there is only the name of the mountain and no other information?"
"No."
"This is difficult to handle," the ancestor tsked: "The name of Beiyun Mountain is too common. Not to mention other countries, there are probably not a thousand, but probably five hundred, mountains with such names in our Xu Kingdom. ah."
"Where's the other one?" he asked.
"This article only has two words, but it appears in Wei Biao's soul several times. My disciple doesn't know what it means," Yang Zhen said with a solemn expression:
"Shuotie County, flying boat."
"What!" Yan Xiling stood up suddenly, his momentum surged, and he pressed towards Yang Zhen with fierce pressure!
…
"Senior brother!" Mu Zixue raised her jade hand, and an invisible light curtain blocked the man's front, resolving the pressure.
Yang Zhen broke into a cold sweat.
"We were careless," the woman sighed quietly, "It seems that Master and Disciple Wei Biao already know something."
"How is this possible?" Yan Xiling paced back and forth on the platform with his hands behind his back, his old face looking furious.
"There is no airtight wall in the world! There was no one to guard that place in Shuotie County, but finally someone discovered it!"
Yan Xiling paused and glanced at Yang Zhen, the expression on his face changed.
"Find!" He shouted angrily: "Ask all the disciples in the sect to search for me. We must find out Zhou Yuan's whereabouts!"
"Also, in the capitals of Zhou, Fu, and Liang, please arrange for disciples to keep an eye on the capitals of these big countries. Zhou Yuan must not be allowed to approach these places!"
