Originally, the old man and the strong man were just suspicious. If the city lord made up some reasons at will, they might not continue to ask.
It's just that the city lord has always been interested in Li Zhe. Now that he knows that Li Zhe has provoked such masters, he can't hold back. He wishes they would kill Li Zhe right away!
After a while, after all the detailed information was informed to these two people, they nodded with satisfaction and slowly walked out of the city lord's mansion.
After leaving the mansion, the two of them headed towards the city gate. Even with their cultivation, no one could stop them from flying out of the city, but these two did not want to act in a high-profile manner.
Now that they have completed the tasks assigned above, both of them are in good physical and mental health and are walking slowly.
However, as soon as they left the city gate, they felt a wave of spiritual energy belonging to the Nascent Soul realm coming from the front, and in this wave, there was a familiar aura to them!
The two looked at each other, then immediately spread out their bodies and quickly walked towards the place where the fluctuation came from.
In an instant, the two of them were in a valley outside Blackwater City.
Above the valley, Dao Hai stood quietly with his hands behind his back, with an inexplicable look on his face.
At this moment, the two people had already reached this place in a flash.
"I have met senior, but I don't know that senior is a member of my sect?"
The old man fell behind Dao Hai, clasped his fists and bowed directly to Dao Hai, saying respectfully.
"Qi Pavilion, Daohai."
Dao Hai sighed and whispered.
As soon as these words came out, both of them looked at Dao Hai in disbelief.
At this time, Dao Hai slowly turned around and looked at the two of them.
After seeing Dao Hai's face clearly, the look of respect on their faces became even greater.
Dao Hai looked at the appearance of these two people and said softly: "Why do you come to Heishui City this time?"
"Pavilion Master, a thief broke into the Huolian Sect a few days ago and stole the sect's treasure, Molten Fire Pills. We have received orders from the Young Pavilion Master and are here to investigate!"
The old man took a deep breath and responded in a low voice.
Hearing this, Dao Hai's eyebrows narrowed slightly and he said softly: "According to this, the person who wants to refine weapons in the Fire Refining Sect is the Young Pavilion Master of the Qi Pavilion?"
"Exactly."
The old man couldn't figure out what Dao Hai was thinking, so he had to respond truthfully.
Listening to these words, Dao Hai's expression gradually became complicated. After a while, he shook his head slightly and said softly: "Although I am no longer the master of the Qi Pavilion, you should keep this matter in your heart. Understand?"
"what do you mean?"
The old man's expression froze, he raised his head slightly and looked at Dao Hai.
Dao Hai shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "You just need to know what you find. If you let me know that you reported the news, I will have a way to make you punished!"
After saying that, Dao Hai moved slightly, and with a flash of spiritual light, he disappeared from where he was.
The old man and the strong man looked at each other, and they both saw a look of shock in each other's eyes.
This Dao Hai is the so-called Master of the Qi Pavilion, but he disappeared decades ago. The position of the Master of the Qi Pavilion has always been vacant. As for the young Pavilion Master, he has nothing to do with Dao Hai, but was promoted later. Just came up.
Now there was the order from the Young Pavilion Master, followed by the words of the former Pavilion Master. The two of them fell into silence for a moment.
After a long while, the old man raised his head leisurely and said, "We'd better not report this matter. If we can't complete the task, at most we will be scolded by the Young Pavilion Master twice."
Listening to the old man's words, the strong man nodded in agreement, he thought so too.
After all, the thief didn’t know who the pavilion master was. If he accidentally angered the pavilion master, they might not know how they died!
Immediately, after confirming the fact that they had concealed the truth, the two of them headed towards the Fire Refining Sect with a feeling of apprehension.
In the distance, the gate of Blackwater City.
Dao Hai closed his eyes and felt the two people leaving before sighing slightly and murmuring leisurely: "Long Tian... I don't know if you can become my thing..."
At this moment, Li Zhe had entered the mountain gate of Donghua Sect.
While Li Zhe was admiring the familiar scenery around him, an inner disciple who was responsible for guarding the mountain gate came up to him directly.
"Whoever is coming, please tell me your name!"
When the disciple saw Li Zhe from a distance, he shouted loudly.
Li Zhe didn't answer him, he just stood quietly and looked at this disciple with a smile.
This disciple originally had a majestic expression on his face, but when he got closer and saw it was Li Zhe, his face was startled and he quickly said: "Uncle Chief, I didn't expect it to be you..."
"It doesn't matter, I'm wearing this outfit, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize me."
Li Zhe waved his hand with a faint smile and said softly.
After saying that, he took direct steps and walked slowly towards the sect.
Looking at Li Zhe's back, the disciple scratched his hair helplessly and murmured in a bitter voice: "Why is the first master wearing such clothes..."
When this disciple was worried that Li Zhe was not wearing sect clothes and was afraid that he would offend him by not recognizing Li Zhe, a commotion had already arisen within the sect.
Originally, Donghua Sect was very peaceful, with occasional disciples walking leisurely on their backs.
But after seeing the escaping light controlled by Li Zhe, their speed suddenly increased, and then they turned and galloped away in the direction of their relatives and friends.
It has been nearly a year since Li Zhe left Donghua Sect. During this period, various speculations about Li Zhe will become a topic of discussion among the disciples of the sect.
Some people say that Li Zhe took away the sword palace inheritance and fled into hiding.
Some people also say that Li Zhe was intercepted and killed on the way before he could return to the sect.
What's more, some even speculated that Li Zhe couldn't bear the inheritance and went crazy.
There are various speculations. Such speculations are like rumors among the disciples. Although some people in the sect know the truth, if Li Zhe doesn't come out, he can't prove anything.
Nowadays, the biggest topic in everyone's spare time is that Li Zhe himself has returned, which has naturally shocked all the disciples in the sect.
Li Zhe didn't care about this, he just carried the light all the way back to his own Yanxia Island.
When he arrived on the island, Li Zhe opened the restriction with a wave of his hand.
Chanjuan was originally taking care of the flowers and plants on the island. After feeling the fluctuation of the island's restrictions, she went to investigate in confusion.
"Island Master! You are back!"
When she saw that the person entering was actually Li Zhe, Chanjuan was startled, then her face showed joy, and she quickly walked over to meet Li Zhe.
"everything is OK?"
Looking at Chanjuan, Li Zhe chuckled and asked softly.
Hearing this, Chanjuan nodded, and then said to Li Zhe: "The island master has returned, please go take a bath and change clothes first, and then I will report to you the situation in the sect during your absence."
Hearing Chanjuan's words, the corners of Li Zhe's mouth curled up slightly. With his level of cultivation, he no longer had to bathe. Once his spiritual power was swept away, there would be no dust left on his body.
However, it was considered auspicious to take a shower after returning from an outing. Seeing Chanjuan's insistence, Li Zhe couldn't refuse, so he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and walked towards his residence.
Only after returning here did Li Zhe return to his home in this world, and he felt a rare sense of comfort.
Behind Li Zhe's residence, there is a spiritual pond. The spring water in the spiritual pond emerges from the ground and is full of spiritual power.
The Cui family who occupied this island before Li Zhe used it for bathing, but after Li Zhe came, it was never used here.
Li Zhe didn't speak, and Chanjuan didn't dare to change the layout of the place easily, so the spirit pool stayed here.
There were natural stone piles surrounding the spiritual pool. Li Zhe took off his clothes and slowly walked into the pool. The spiritual energy in the pool had been accumulated for a long time. At this moment, someone finally came in. All the spiritual energy in the pool was directed towards Li Zhe. When Zhe came together, he felt a different kind of comfort.
Li Zhe slowly closed his eyes, sat in the pool, and entered a state of trance.
Not far away, Chanjuan's face turned red, holding a brand new Taoist uniform in her hands. She walked carefully to the edge of the pool, placed the Taoist uniform next to Li Zhe's clothes, and then left briskly.
After Chanjuan left, Li Zhecai opened his eyes slightly and smiled bitterly. However, this feeling of being served by someone was indeed quite good.
After sitting in the pool for a while, Li Zhe stood up slowly. With a flick of his spiritual power, the water stains on his body dissipated instantly. Li Zhe then changed his clothes and walked into the room.
At this moment, Chanjuan was sitting on one side, waiting quietly.
"Tell me, how many changes have occurred within the sect this year?"
Li Zhe breathed a long sigh of relief, sat on the main seat, and then asked Chanjuan.
Hearing this, Chanjuan nodded slightly, and then spoke in detail.
One year is an extremely long time for ordinary people, but for monks, it is just a period of retreat.
There has not been much change within the sect. The only change is that during this year, the Cui family has been gossiping about Li Zhe.
"I heard that among the Cui family, Cui Hao has reached the peak of the late Jindan realm. The Cui family has been looking for an opportunity for the masters to re-select their first disciple."
Chanjuan took a breath and whispered to Li Zhe.
Hearing this, Li Zhe narrowed his eyes, then shook his head and chuckled: "He's just a clown, I won't care about him until he dares to mess with me!"
Today's Li Zhe is different from the past. Several Yuan Ying realms have died in his hands. Now with the newly forged Jingpo sword, he may not be afraid of the Cui family!
