The trade will continue, and the Chongxu Martial Arts Competition will open as scheduled the next day and end three days later.
The disciples of the Jinding Sect won the first place in the acquired high-level group, the Hanyue Sect bravely won the crown in the low-level group, and the first place in the martial arts disciple level was taken by the Chongxu Sect.
Xue Tong has always advocated that things should be done according to the general rules of Xuanmen, and should not deliberately suppress opponents. Hanyue Sect should get what it deserves, and should not set up obstacles or play tricks outside the game.
The martial arts meeting ended successfully, and the prizes were extremely generous.
…
Bao Xing was deeply afraid.
"Taoist Xue offended the Chuanshan Sect. Once he leaves Chongxu, will the Chuanshan Sect take revenge?"
In the meeting hall, Bao Xing said to Yu Wencheng and Zhong Xianmou.
"To be precise, I didn't offend him, but I almost killed the deputy sect leader of Weishan. According to the opinions of his subordinates, he married Daliangzi. Taoist priest Xue can come and go between ghosts and demons freely, and he is super powerful. The Weishan sect looks peaceful, but Taoist priest If you leave Xiaolian Peak, you will be in big trouble!" Zhong Xianmou said with worry.
"Many lives were almost lost. This was not a small friction, it was a huge feud." Yu Wencheng said.
"Taoist Master Xue will leave sooner or later. Our sect cannot meet his needs, so we can only try our best to make him stay longer, and in the meantime we can settle the hatred of the Weishan Sect."
"This is a matter of life and death for our sect, and it is also related to our safety." Bao Xing said with a solemn expression.
"Then what should we do? We can't deliberately provoke new disputes." Zhong Xianmou seemed to be denying himself, but in fact he revealed his true feelings.
Bao Xing and Yu Wencheng heard the implication and felt that it was too bold and risky.
"Ling Daoliang can kill the three of us with one palm. There are at least five or six monks at this level of the Weishan Sect. We cannot take risks. It is better for Taoist Master Xue to tell the truth and ask for a solution." Yu Wencheng said.
Xiaolian Peak.
Yu Wencheng and Zhong seek an audience first.
Xue Tong roughly guessed the meaning, "It's about the Weishan Sect."
"Yes, if there is nothing particularly important, how dare we disturb the Taoist priest easily."
Zhong Xianmou told Chongxumen his worries.
"It's inappropriate for Xue to go directly to Chuanshan. How can he meet the sect leader of Chuanshan?" Xue Tong asked.
"Mu Li rarely shows up, and the sect's affairs are all handled by the deputy sect leader and elders."
"Then just wait for the opportunity and listen to more news. It is best if Xue intervenes when the Weishan Sect conflicts with other Daxuan Sects and solves the problem smoothly."
"Don't worry, I will get things sorted out before I leave."
Xue Tong did not want to cause trouble, so he took the initiative to challenge the Daxuan Sect and cause trouble for the Weishan Sect.
Two months later, Zhong Xianmou visited again and brought the plane-born monks with him.
Xue Tong was stunned. The person coming was obviously disguised and put on makeup.
"Senior Xue, this is the principal master Mao Dingsong." Zhong Xianmou said.
"Oh, you really live up to your name, you are far-sighted and plan ahead." Xue Tong felt that the idea of preemptive thinking was very strong, and said with a smile.
"Senior Mao serves the royal family and came here on his own initiative." Zhong Xianmou smiled awkwardly.
"The reputation of the Taoist priest spreads far and wide, old man." Mao Dingsong hesitated to speak.
"Junior, please retire first." Zhongxian made his plan very clear and walked out of the cave.
"I have an old matter, and I would like to ask the Taoist priest for help." Mao Dingsong continued.
"People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong. They plant flowers with intention, but they don't plant willows. Before the Weishan Sect, Mao Dingsong came first." Xue Tong laughed to himself.
"Thirty years ago, a tragedy occurred in Jinglong. The fourth princess was assassinated, but the real culprit has never been found."
"The king heard that the Taoist priest was brave and rekindled his hope, so he specially ordered me to come."
Mao Dingsong went straight to the point and told the story of his past.
Thirty years ago, the fourth princess Jinglong and the second prince Haochang got married. The wedding convoy was attacked in Kuliang Mountain. The princess died and the prince was seriously injured. Mao Dingsong was one of the witnesses.
Xinyuan was shaken and vigorously investigated, but the truth is still unknown.
At that time, Grandmaster Mao Dingsong was in the middle stage and was a master of bodyguards.
The royal families of the Xinyuan princes generally belong to middle-to-upper-level immortal cultivating families. There are few master-level monks in the family. The Xuanjie warriors they support, Mao Dingsong is one of the top figures.
The power of the royal family does not come from force, but mainly relies on the common recognition of blood and metaphysics.
After the tragedy, the two royal families never stopped chasing the murderer and secretly observed the situation in the mysterious world, but there was no clear suspect.
"Unless there is a vendetta, who benefits the most and who is the most suspect in this kind of thing, for example, Haochang is actually unwilling to get married, or if he gets married, he will pose a threat to others."
"After checking everything, there is no one who is obviously benefiting from it. The princess is as beautiful as a fairy, and the second prince has no possibility of seizing the throne. It is a match made in heaven by mutual consent. As for the enemies, the royal family has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are countless enemies. It is hard to say."
"Xue is not a god. Your Majesty has been investigating for thirty years without finding any results. What can I do?"
"After all, he is better than Mao!"
Mao Dingsong pinched his face, revealing a long scar, and said with a wry smile: "The mark left behind."
“There have been no clues or anything fishy for years.”
"I only know that the murderer is a masked man, a late master, and he uses a common blue sword."
"The thugs lurked on the cliff, came up and killed them without saying a word, and then quickly escaped when we surrounded them."
"The guards of the two royal families are too lax," Xue Tong said.
"The itinerary of the wedding team has been made public. The attack was the first in 500 years. From then on, the royal family's various activities and security increased, and the itinerary was no longer announced." Mao Dingsong said bitterly.
"What's the benefit of Xue working for the king?"
"Daoist Fan can live in the royal palace. The palace has more than 50,000 acres. The courtyard is deep and the spiritual energy is rich. Safety is not a problem. The royal family has good relations with the Sixuanmen. No one dares to risk the disapproval of the world and cause chaos."
"After this is done, the grievances between Chongxu and Chuanshan will be resolved. Your Majesty will mediate, and there is no possibility of Chongxu being retaliated against." Mao Dingsong said.
"Xue will be safe and sound when he lives in Xiaolian Peak, and the Weishan Sect will take care of it. This is not enough benefit." Xue Tong thought for a moment and said.
"The level of resources required by the Taoist Master is too high. It is coordinated by the royal family. They can get a small amount. They will also give a Jinglong Jade Card for a period of three years. The Jinglong Kingdom can travel unimpeded. Other principalities also have a lot of face. No one dares to take it lightly. Of."
"I will pay you 20 million spiritual stones when everything is done."
"That's all, Taoist Master, don't be too little." Mao Dingsong said.
"If Xue wants to ask the second prince, can there be a formal way?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult. I asked him three times before and after the investigation. Now that the relationship between the two countries is mediocre, it is impossible for Haochang to receive the Taoist priest again."
"Taoist Master Mao came to see Xue. Why did he first think about it?"
"As I said before, the royal family has never stopped spying on the mysterious world. When Pindao learned about the Chongxu Trade Fair, he thought about it."
"Know how many you have come"
"Zhong Xianmou, Bao Xing, and Yu Wencheng, but Pindao is not sure whether the news will spread."
"How can we find out the unsolved cases? They are all things that have no evidence." Xue Tong asked.
"I will never forget that knife." Mao Dingsong touched the scar on his face.
"What's the use? The murderer will throw away the knife. It's only seven or eight million. He committed a huge case and the sword is simply worthless." Xue Tong shook his head.
"If there are clues and evidence, I won't go to the Taoist priest. The poor Taoist thinks that if he can find the murderer, he can find the evidence in the process." Mao Dingsong's eyes brightened.
"Xue thinks about it"
Xue Tong asked Mao Dingsong to wait in the courtyard and turned into Fan Ruhua's underground palace.
…
"Xue will serve as a messenger for the royal family. There is no guarantee that the investigation will be carried out. Taoist Fan must take good care of it. If there is a problem, it will not be handled by a princess."
Xue Tong considered that Fan Ruhua should be able to become a master in three years. He would travel a lot by himself, seize the time to dig out the secrets of Xin Yuan, and eliminate the hidden dangers of the Weishan Sect.
Chongxumen arranged for two innate female cultivators to go to the palace together.
Xue Tong met the Crystal Dragon King.
The Crystal Dragon King looks like he is in his sixties, in the middle stage of congenital stage, and is full of joy and anger. Only his eyes reveal sincere expectations.
Xue Tong asked for relevant records. The two countries investigated the case three times and left a large number of files.
Fan Ruhua's yard was well protected. Xue Tong gave an extra batch of warning talismans and set up a protective circle to check the secret escape route.
Xue Tong carefully checked the records and started with those who experienced it.
Twelve of the Jinglong guards survived, eight were dismissed and assigned, Mao Dingsong retained his original position, and the rest were demoted.
Xue Tong talked one by one and found no doubts.
During this period, he observed faces and used divine soul skills. The mental fluctuations of several people were normal, and the narrative was consistent with the records.
Xue Tong repeatedly asked the fourth princess whether she had ever offended her clan members, but no valuable information was obtained.
"A big case with no clues!"
"I think only Haochang can dig out the clues and go meet the second prince and the guard leader." Xue Tong said secretly.
…
Haochang Royal City.
Xue Tong hesitated all the way whether he should visit the prince's mansion at night.
"It's better to ask someone first."
Two streets away, he found a teahouse closest to the Huang Mansion for tea.
His ghost concealment technique conceals his cultivation, and only releases the initial spiritual pressure of a master.
Even so, it can be said that it is a rare monk to see, and the teahouse owner is very considerate.
Xue Tong pointed to the high eaves of the second prince Huang Yangen's palace and said: "The palace's grandeur is extraordinary. People from the palace often come to drink tea."
"Well, the servants from the palace come sometimes." The shopkeeper said hurriedly.
"Have you ever met the prince?" Xue Tong continued to ask.
"How can a young person have such a blessing?"
"Where is the royal empress?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand, "I've never seen this before, senior, be careful what you say!"
In the middle of the day after tomorrow, the shopkeeper Xue Tong took back his spiritual pressure, so he didn't become restless, but his words were so straightforward and unrestrained, which frightened him.
"Haha, let's not talk about it. Come back for tea tomorrow!" Xue Tong paid for the tea and went out with a smile.
The shopkeeper's face was clouded, and he quickly quietly walked out of the back door.
Xue Tong lives in an inn a few miles away.
Sit quietly and do the exercises in the stone house.
"Wave"
A small sound reaches my ears.
Xue Tong suddenly opened his eyes, "Fellow Taoist is here, but he doesn't go through the main entrance!"
He was unscrupulous in the teahouse and deliberately provoked the shopkeeper.
Being so close to Prince Qing's Mansion, the teahouse must be under the control of the Prince's Mansion. Any abnormality must be reported promptly. Xue Tong is both the prince and the empress. How dare the shopkeeper conceal the report?
In the yard, the silver moonlight shines like water, and a long and slanting figure appears.
Xue Tongyi was brave and led the royal master to protect him.
The late Grandmaster is the strongest monk in Prince Qing's Mansion.
"Where are you from? Why are you asking for news about the palace and why are you so disrespectful?"
"Xue is just curious. I heard about a past event in Kuliang Mountain thirty years ago, and I found it very strange." Xue Tong released his spiritual pressure and said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, the visitor was shocked and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
