Hearing this, Bai Che frowned and said coldly: "If you have anything to do, just tell me, don't ask your mother-in-law."
When Elder Zhao heard this, he frowned. Even the sect master had said this, but this boy was still arrogant. He was about to curse, but Xue Wuyi stopped him and said, "Elder Zhao, just tell me."
Elder Zhao had no choice but to nod his head and said: "Zhao just took his disciples to Jiang Village to investigate. There were ruins there, with traces of fighting and blood. Misfortunes did happen. At the same time, I also found a bloody robe. It was indeed My Blood Puppet Sect’s thing.”
With that said, Elder Zhao took out a damaged bloody robe and showed it to everyone. Bai Che looked at it coldly and said, "What else do you have to say..."
Elder Zhao interrupted Bai Che's words and continued: "Your Excellency, please be patient and listen to what Zhao has to say."
"However, this blood robe belongs to the disciples of my Blood Puppet Sect who disappeared some time ago. They have been missing for a long time, and we have not found them. But from this blood robe, I can conclude that they have been killed."
"How do you judge?" Bai Che said coldly.
"There is a mysterious aura on this blood robe." Elder Zhao replied, "But I know that this does not belong to my Blood Puppet Sect."
"Sect Master, please do some investigating." Elder Zhao handed the damaged blood robe to Xue Wuyi.
Xue Wuyi took it and nodded, and said, "Sir, if you are worried about Xue's manipulation, you can also investigate it yourself."
"No need." Bai Che said. He now somewhat believed that all this was not done by the Blood Puppet Sect, because he also felt a mysterious aura in the blood robe, and this aura did not belong to the Blood Puppet Sect. At the same time, if it was done by the Blood Puppet Sect, there would be no need to do so many fearless things.
"Okay." Xue Wuyi nodded, and then submerged his consciousness into the blood robe, but a sudden change occurred the next moment.
With a bang, a burst of fire suddenly rose, and then exploded. Xue Wuyi regained his consciousness one after another, but still suffered some injuries.
"'Yangyan Curse'!" Everyone in the Blood Puppet Sect shouted.
"'Yangyan Curse?'" Bai Che's eyes moved slightly.
"That's right." Xue Wuyi had stopped the bleeding and said, "This is the Zhengyang Sect's signature technique."
"Zhengyangmen?" Bai Che remembered another sect in red clothing that Ni Han had mentioned before, one of the Hundred Sects of the Wilderness.
"So, Your Excellency, the matter involving your relatives and friends is most likely done by the Zhengyang Sect." Xue Wuyi said calmly.
"It may also be the work of the missing disciples of your Blood Puppet Sect." Bai Che said coldly: "Maybe they took refuge in the Zhengyang Sect."
"What you said makes sense. If that's true, I, Xue Wuyi, will definitely clean up the door with my own hands." Xue Wuyi said calmly.
"The top priority is to go to Zhengyang Sect to verify whether your relatives and friends are here. Our Blood Puppet Sect also needs to clear its name." Xue Wuyi added.
Hearing this, Bai Che nodded and said, "If it is really what the Zhengyang Sect did, after Bai rescues his relatives, he will definitely give an explanation to the Master of the Blood Sect."
"It's good if you have your words." Xue Wuyi said, "Xue Wuyi is willing to go with you personally."
"Thank you very much, Lord Blood Sect." Bai Che said calmly.
After Xue Wuyi explained some matters, he followed Bai Che in the direction of Zhengyang Gate on the flying magic weapon.
After the two had a brief conversation, Bai Che learned that the Blood Puppet Sect and the Zhengyang Sect were feuding. The former practiced Yin techniques and the latter practiced Yang techniques. However, because the Blood Puppet Sect had blood-clothed puppets, it would always be compared to the Zhengyang Sect. Everyone wants to be stronger, but the Zhengyang Sect prides itself on exterminating demons and defending the Tao, and wants to destroy the Blood Puppet Sect. The Blood Puppet Sect wants to annex the Zhengyang Sect and make it stronger.
In the next Hundred Gates War, one of the Blood Puppet Gate and the Zhengyang Gate will disappear, so they have been fighting openly and secretly.
Gradually, the two discovered that more and more villages were experiencing changes like Jiangcun.
"It seems that Jiangcun is not the only one to suffer." Bai Che frowned, with murderous intent pouring out of his eyes.
"Yes, maybe their intentions are not small." Xue Wuyi said.
Soon after, Bai Che and the others arrived at the city at the foot of the Zhengyang Gate. They saw the city crowded with people, and when they were surprised, they heard a voice not far away.
"The Zhengyang Sect considers the common people and in order to continue the path to immortality for everyone, it has specially held a qualification test. If you meet the standards, you can become a disciple of the Zhengyang Sect, thereby getting rid of this mortal identity and becoming an immortal."
"Recruiting disciples?" Xue Wuyi's eyes moved and he said to himself: "If it is for the battle of hundreds of sects, what effect can it have in just a few months?"
"Perhaps their purpose is not to recruit disciples." Bai Che said while looking at the crowd.
Hearing this, Xue Wuyi nodded thoughtfully.
"Let's go up the mountain." Bai Che said.
After a few breaths, the two of them arrived at the gate of Zhengyang Gate. At this moment, both of them were in disguise.
The gate of Zhengyangmen is written in square regular script with the three characters Zhengyangmen. It looks majestic and the whole sect exudes a different atmosphere from the Blood Puppet Sect.
"He looks like a decent man from a well-known family." Bai Che said.
"Zhengyangmen considers itself a famous and upright sect, so we need to do some work on the appearance." Xue Wuyi replied.
At the door, stood two gatekeepers wearing red robes with a golden chrysanthemum painted on them.
With that said, the two of them headed towards the Zhengyang Gate. The gatekeeper was shocked when he saw the two middle-level monks coming together.
"The two of us are here to visit old friends." Bai Che said calmly.
The disciple guarding the door hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't know that two seniors are here. Disciple will go and report it now."
"No need." Bai Che waved his hand and said, "We'll go in by ourselves."
With that said, Bai Che and Xue Wuyi stepped into the Zhengyang Gate. The gatekeepers did not dare to stop them and had to step aside.
The two of them walked deep into Zhengyang Gate. The buildings inside were all carved and painted, majestic and seemed to exude the aura of righteousness.
"There is a touch of blood." Suddenly, Xue Wuyi whispered, which made Bai Che frown, and he already had some guesses in his mind.
At this time, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came. Bai Che took a look and saw an old man wearing a red golden chrysanthemum robe walking towards the two of them. His cultivation level was also in the middle realm, and he seemed to be higher than Xue Wuyi. Up a few points.
"Hehehe, two fellow Taoists, I am the master of the Zhengyang Sect, Zuo Dao. I wonder what the purpose of these two fellow Taoists coming to our sect is?"
"Zuo Dao?" Bai Che cursed in his heart and thought to himself: "Which master gave him the name Zuo Dao? I call him Side Door. I knew he was a villain as soon as I heard the name."
However, complaints are complaints, and business still has to be done. Bai Che immediately smiled and said: "Lao Zuo, you don't recognize me anymore? I'm a novice..."
Xue Wuyi didn't speak, but listened without changing his expression. He didn't know what Bai Che was going to do.
"Xiao...Xiaobai?" Zuo Dao frowned slightly when he heard this. He really couldn't remember when he had met Xiaobai.
"Don't you remember, Lao Zuo? That year, I gave you two spiritual stones. You said at that time that you would pay back tenfold when you became rich." Bai Che said with a smile.
"Repay the spiritual stone tenfold? Could it be that it happened when I first entered the path of cultivation?" Zuo Dao thought, but the time was too long and the memory has long been blurred.
Just as Zuo Dao was reminiscing, Bai Che immediately spoke. His purpose was to confuse the audience. Bai Che said: "Old Zuo, I didn't expect that after so many years of not seeing you, you have become the master of the Zhengyang Sect. If it weren't for me and fellow Taoist Yi I accidentally came to the foot of Zhengyangmen and heard your name. I was wondering if this Zuo was the old Zuo I knew back then. I didn’t expect that it was really you. But after so many years, you have become Much older.”
Bai Che sighed, as if he was regretting an old friend he had known for many years. This made Zuo Dao once think that Bai Che was his friend from many years ago.
"By the way, Lao Zuo, you have become so prosperous, can you return those twenty spirit stones to me?" Bai Che asked, changing the subject.
"Hehehe, it's easy to talk." Zuo Dao stroked his beard and said with a smile. Although he was confused now, he still took out a storage bag and handed it to Bai Che, saying: "Fellow Daoist Bai, there are five hundred souls here." Stone, the excess will be the interest for so many years."
"Then why are you embarrassed?" Bai Che said with a smile, while packing the storage bag, and said: "Don't call me Bai Daoyou, just call me Xiaobai as before."
In fact, Bai Che was thinking to himself: "It's so easy to get five hundred spirit stones. Then if you lack spirit stones, you can directly go to some sects to build some relationships. This is not easier than robbing. What's more important is that they are still willing to do it." Gave it to me. Well...this business can grow and grow."
"Xiao Bai, this fellow Taoist is..." Zuo Dao pointed at Xue Wuyi and asked.
"Oh, Lao Zuo, look at my brain. I was so busy reminiscing with you that I forgot to introduce you to Brother Yi." Bai Che patted his head and continued: "Brother Yi's name is Yi Wuxie, and I I was also a casual cultivator. At that time, I was chased by a ferocious beast because I was collecting herbs. It was Brother Yi who saved me, and Brother Yi and I have been together since then."
"I see." Zuo Dao nodded, then moved his eyes and said, "Xiaobai, you and fellow Taoist Yi are both casual cultivators?"
Hearing this, Bai Che nodded and said, "Yes, we are casual cultivators. Is there any problem with this?"
"No problem, no problem." Zuo Dao laughed and said, "Xiaobai, fellow Taoist Yi, do you have a place you want to go?"
When Bai Che heard this, he knew that this leftist wanted to recruit them, and then said: "Brother Yi and I can't find where to go for the time being, and we are hesitating where to go..."
"Xiao Bai, you are just slapping me in the face." Hearing this, Zuo Dao said: "Brother, although this Zhengyang Sect is not a big sect, let Xiao Bai have a relationship with fellow Taoist Yi Sheltering is also easy, so why not join our Zhengyang Sect?"
"This..." Bai Che hesitated, paused, and said, "Lao Zuo, Brother Yi and I are used to being idle, I'm afraid..."
"Xiao Bai, don't worry, I can make you an honorary elder. In this way, your freedom will not be restricted and you can leave at any time." Zuo Dao smiled, "But if the sect is in trouble, you I have to rush back to help.”
"If that's the case, then I agreed to be the honorary elder." Bai Che said, and then asked: "Brother Yi, what do you think?"
Xue Wuyi said: "If the sect is in crisis, Yi will definitely do his best."
"Okay, okay..." Zuo Dao laughed. He handed Bai Che and the two honorary elders their tokens, called two more disciples, and said: "Take Elder Bai and Elder Yi to Jingxuan to choose a residence. .”
"Yes." The two Zhengyang Sect disciples agreed, and Zuo Dao smiled and said: "Two elders, you go and choose a place to live first, and I will pick up the wind for you at night."
"Only based on the instructions of the sect master." Bai Che and the other two said with fists clasped.
After Bai Che and the others left, Zuo Dao's eyes showed a hint of gloom, "The Blood Puppet Sect, huh, what does it count for? With the help of these two people, even in the entire battle of hundreds of sects, our Zhengyang Sect can stand out and become the leader. group."
"Now it's time to extract the blood energy, condense the blood spring, and make a blood-clothed puppet." Zuo Dao smiled, then moved in a certain direction.
