If the alliance between the two sects fails, both sides will blame him. Hou Qingdan may even personally take action and take his life to answer to the sect!
The man in black raised his hand, and the light of Hunyuan Divine Thunder reappeared.
Xue Tong just woke up and became furious!
Teleporting to avoid the lightning strike, Hun Tianju took action.
"boom!"
In Xue Tong's rage, the explosive power far exceeded the previous limit. The overwhelming murderous intention of the sea of consciousness also aroused the powerful soul power of his natal magic weapon, and merged into the heavy blow of Xingyun's ultimate move.
Dark clouds roared towards the man in black.
The man in black missed a single strike from the divine thunder and had already decided to leave. He abandoned Xue Tong and attacked the guards. He just planned to fight and leave quickly without entanglement.
The monk guarding the mountain gate noticed the strange movement and approached quickly.
The black shadow flashed, and the man in black dodged the furious attack of the falling stars and disappeared into the night.
The dark clouds of stars and meteors streak across the night sky, crossing hundreds of feet.
"Boom!"
Blast off the top of an unknown mountain.
Xue Tong's figure has been chased ten miles away.
The distance of a hundred feet can never be reduced. Even if the eagle is replaced and infused with mana to help fly, the speed is still comparable to Feng Dun.
Xue Tong only glanced at the man in black when he was making moves in the guest courtyard.
The head was covered with a black scarf, and the face was covered with black cloth. Only a pair of sinister little eyes flashed with cold light.
Xue Tong estimated that the man in black was probably a member of the Miao Gao sect. He jumped over the wall in a hurry to make a big deal between the two sects and couldn't wait to attack in the middle of the night.
Xue Tong hoped that even if he could not capture the man in black, it would be best to leave some minor injuries and pain on his body to facilitate verification.
"Bang!"
Fireworks are bright and bombs light up the night sky.
Xue Tong was stunned and stopped suddenly in mid-air.
"Xiashan Zong news bomb! What happened to the guest house?"
"Is there... anyone alive?!"
Xue Tong was 70% sure that he would bite the man in black and eventually chase and kill him, but the life and death of the Xiashan guards was more important. The second time the survivors suffered disaster, it was his unforgivable sin.
Xue Tong responded by firing a message bomb, which flew back like an arrow. He stared intently in the direction of the guest house, and the scenery gradually became clearer...
"Ah, it seems like he's really not dead!"
Xue Tong blinked to determine whether it was an illusion or a real scene.
In the living room, members of the Miao Gao sect were walking around, and the other four were lying or sitting. They looked slovenly and smoky, and their faces were unclear. Ninety-nine percent of them were Xia Shan guards!
Xue Tong roared wildly and rushed towards the guest house.
Monk Miao Gao retreated knowingly.
Zhuge Jing and Zeng Gu were slightly injured, while the other two guards were struck by thunder and no bones were left.
Zeng Gu took out a piece of armor shield from his arms, which was a third-grade earth-level shield.
"The holy king's dragon armor shield, the Taoist priest roared a warning. The moment the Hunyuan thunder struck, the armor shield expanded and spread out, saving the lives of four people. Those who were far away..."
"You are Hou Sheng's confidant!" Xue Tong suddenly realized.
"Well, Zeng's escort team has gained experience. Elder Xue has been assigned as an envoy. Hou Sheng ordered me to follow and assist when necessary."
"You are extremely clever and have made a great contribution!"
Xue Tong didn't have time to think about it. Zeng Gu had indeed resurrected him from a desperate situation. He was scorched after the thunder. The man in black was attracted by the roar, but before he could take a closer look, the four people were spared.
Xue Tong grabbed hold of him in the air, lifted the Grandmaster of the Mountain Guard ten feet away, and said ferociously: "The people of the Miao Gao Sect are despicable and shameless. In the later period, the heavenly beings attacked the lower ranks. Have you reported it to the sect?"
"Young man... have reported. The deputy... master will be here immediately."
…
The deputy sect master Tianren Dacheng led the law enforcement hall Lu Xizhong and several followers.
Xue Tong roared, meaning that if such a vicious incident happened a few miles outside the mountain gate, the Miao Gao Zong could not escape its involvement and must be investigated and dealt with quickly.
"The mood of the Taoist Master is understandable. Our sect has inherent responsibilities, but the origin of the man in black is unknown, and our sect is also a victim. We cannot blame Miao Gao for everything." The deputy sect leader shied away.
"It's not difficult to investigate. The late-level cultivators of Heaven and Earth have contacted the noble sect and avoided the abnormal behavior. The scope can be further narrowed and the truth will be revealed soon." Xue Tong said.
"Fellow Daoist Xue is talking to himself again. We don't need you to arrange the investigation of this sect." Lu Zhongzhong interrupted.
"The situation is not out of control yet. The Taoist leader will follow me into the mountain and rest in Yijing Garden for a while. I will take Hou Sheng's letter back to the sect for discussion," the deputy sect leader added.
…
The next day in the afternoon.
Xue Tong, Zhuge Jing, and Zeng Gu were invited to Miao Gaotang.
The sect leader Zhou Peng said a few polite words, expressed regret for the death of Grandmaster Xiashan, and handed the sealed document to Xue Tong.
"King Hou Sheng is willing to coexist peacefully with our small sect. Miao Gao sect cannot ask for it. I have written a letter to make it clear. It's hard work for the Taoist priest to travel back and forth."
"Xue worked for the Holy King and conveyed Miao Gao's friendship. It is a matter of course and a great honor. It's just that the follower was killed, and it is difficult to calm down the hatred. I don't know how the case was investigated?" Xue Tong is most concerned about the whereabouts of the man in black. .
"This sect is conducting a thorough investigation and there is no exact target yet."
Zhou Peng signaled his subordinates to send a large bag of spiritual stones, and then said: "These 30 million spiritual stones are a small gesture of sympathy from our sect. When there is news, we will send someone to Xiashan to inform you."
The result was almost the same as Xue Tong expected.
"The noble sect is investigating the case. Xue is inconvenient and dares to say a few words. Miaogao is an ancient sect in Xilu. There are many people who are not happy to see peace with Xiashan. However, it is extremely rare for someone to jump over the wall and attack the guest house regardless of their identity. Such things I hope your sect will dig out this shameless and extremely evil person and punish him severely."
"This case is not only about the justice of the master who was killed in vain, but also about the great cause of the Miao Gao Sect. We should eradicate the cancer of the sect without mercy!"
Xue Tong said this and left angrily.
"What the Taoist said is so good!" Zhuge Jing praised on the way back to Yijingyuan.
"Just let the Lord and the faction investigate the case more vigorously, and return to the clan immediately!" Xue Tong ordered.
The camel cart moved forward at full speed and left the boundary of Miao Highland the next day.
Xue Tong hesitated for a long time, and finally drove back to Xiashan to resume his life, giving up the idea of secretly investigating the whereabouts of the man in black.
Xia Shan.
After Hou Qingdan listened to the story, read the letter, and examined the burnt stone and dragon armor shield marks that Xue Tong brought back, he pondered for a moment and said: "The letter is quite sincere. Elder Xue cannot be entirely blamed for what happened in the guest house. The enemy is vicious. With the monkey anxious, even this saint is a little unexpected."
"On the second level of Hunyuan Lei, in the late stage of Tianren, it is not easy for Elder Xue and the four guards to escape." Hou Qingdan pinched the Jiao Shi and said again.
"Due to Elder Xue's negligence, Xiashan suffered losses. The merits and demerits are equal to each other. You can stay as elder to see the consequences!
"If Elder Xue is dissatisfied and unwilling to stay in the mountain, leave now!"
"Xue Tong is willing to stay in Xia Mountain and serve, and I thank the Holy King for his kindness." Xue Tong said.
In addition to Hou Qingdan's outstanding cultivation, he is also very capable of motivating and employing people. After this battle, Xue Tong's loyalty to him has increased sharply. This is what she values most.
Just because Xue Tong scared away the man in black, he should be kept for later use.
Zhuge Jing, Zeng Gu, etc. each received a reward. They were originally affiliated with the Deacon Hall. They were officially appointed as deacons this time and no longer had to do the hard work of guarding and guarding.
Xue Tong said goodbye, and the moment he walked out of the room, there was a sudden wave of mana, which hit his Fahai position hard.
Fa Hai reacted instinctively and bounced the wave away.
Hou Qingdan's eyebrows twitched slightly, "It is true that Fahai is the early stage of heavenly being. It is really rare to reach a higher level!"
Xue Tong's ghost was hidden in his body, and Hou Qingdan detected his sea of dharma and could only get an initial reaction.
The early and middle stages are not critical. What is important is that if it is exposed, at least Hou Qingdan will be greatly disgusted by his tricks.
Xue Tong was sweating coldly on his back, but luckily he didn't reveal any clues.
…
Xue Tong stayed at Jinlin Peak, ten miles away from the main mountain.
He justifiably dug the underground palace, opened up the spiritual field, and lived a life with almost no worries.
Half a month later, Miao Gao Zong fulfilled the contract and went up to Xia Mountain to inform him that the elder Du Ping was missing. In all likelihood, he was suspected of a murder in the guest house, or he had to escape because Miao Gao was trying his best to investigate the case.
"Du Ping is from Yanyun Mountain. That is the most likely place for him to go." The Miao Gao envoy said.
"Yanyun Mountain is far away in the hinterland of Xulu. The hunt for the murderer is left to the Miao Gao Sect." Hou Qingdan stated his position directly, cutting off Xue Tong's thoughts of investigating the case.
Xue Tong started practicing at Jinlin Peak, and Hou Qingdan made no other arrangements.
Until one day a year later, Hou Qingdan suddenly summoned him alone.
"This saint has sent you to do something, and you must succeed and not fail. If you fail, you don't have to go back to Xia Mountain."
Xue Tong nodded and listened.
"This sage has thought carefully and is preparing to take action against Miao Gao, not by conquering them by force, but by provoking trouble to make them submit voluntarily."
"The Miao Gao Sect is a branch of the force of Martial Saint Lu Shaoyu. Lu Shaoyu is entrenched in the Cambrian Mountains. His subordinate forces are divided into two branches. The other branch is called Xueyuan Sect."
"The two sects have always been at odds with each other. Lu Shaoyu turned a blind eye or did it intentionally so that both sects would ask for help from him."
"Lu Wei is lazy and doesn't look like he's doing big things. It's just because the Cambrian Mountains are in a remote location and no one competes with him for territory."
"You need to try to provoke a conflict between the two sects, and then I will win over Miao Gao and make him a subordinate force." Hou Qingdan said.
"How to provoke?" Xue Tong asked.
"That's your business."
Xue Tong has mixed flavors.
"You've never done anything like this, have you?" Hou Qingdan saw through Xue Tong's thoughts.
Xue Tong shook his head.
"If you want to become a powerful person and follow this sage, you need to use more despicable methods. This sage has found a reason for you: Miao Gao Sect is against many friends with this sect. You kill a few people and become the fallen master. While taking revenge, frame the fault of Xueyuan Sect!"
"You are not good at cultivation. Don't think that everything is fair and aboveboard."
"Besides, if you hide your cultivation, it's not an honest move!" Hou Qingdan's beautiful eyes radiated cold light.
"The Holy King is right!" Xue Tong was excited, finally listening to Hou Qingdan's implicit warning.
"It's best for you to handle this matter. You have the strength but are not very conspicuous, and you are at odds with the existence of Miao Gao Sect."
"If you do it as soon as possible, you will be rewarded heavily!"
"Xue will definitely try his best. How long is the time limit?" Xue Tong asked.
"Three years, if it expires, your credit will not be counted."
"This Holy Saint will find trouble and drive you away. You are not a member of the Xiashan Sect. You can do things easily. If something happens, it has nothing to do with this Sect!"
"After a few days of discussion, I proposed that you go to Yanyun Mountain. You resisted and said that the inland area was too dangerous, so that was the excuse for expulsion."
…
Xue Tong acted as he was told, but was driven away by Hou Qingdan, and embarked on a journey to Xueyuan.
What Xue Tong didn't know was that Lu Shaoyu was the celestial being who descended to earth when the Chongguang barrier broke out, and his Heavenly Spiritual Treasure Blood Whip pierced the two realms.
Xue Tong once wanted to throw away the secret order and run away, but without Hou Qingdan, things might be worse for the people he met.
Why not give it a try?
