"After five thousand years of separation, I didn't expect Brother Bai Jun... Fortunately, Shaonan, you lived up to Brother Bai Jun's high expectations and grew up to be a Taoist immortal at a young age." The middle-aged man said with emotion.
This middle-aged man is none other than the master of the two blue monkeys, Zong Yongshi.
"My father talked about Uncle Zong many times during his lifetime. Every time he mentioned that I worked with you under Immortal Yuanli's tent and went through life and death many times, I always felt sad," Si Shaonan said.
"Alas!" Zong Yongshi sighed, then raised his glass to signal to Si Shaonan, drank it all in one gulp, put down the glass, and said, "Have you already gone to see Lord Xianjun when you came this time? "
"I went to pay my respects. Although my late father later left the Immortal Lord and returned to the Seven Star Palace to inherit the position of the Palace Master. But he was a man who remembered his gratitude. Every five thousand years, he would cross the Immortal Continent to pay homage to the Immortal Lord and pay his respects. Pay some tribute.
Now that I have inherited my father's position, I must follow the way he behaved during his lifetime, and I must come to pay homage to the Immortal Lord every five thousand years. "Si Shaonan replied.
"Your personality is the same as your father's. In fact, although Immortal Lord Yuanli gave your father guidance and guidance in his early years, your father has worked hard under his account for many years, and it seems that he no longer owes you any debt.
Now that your father has passed away, you have inherited the Seven Star Palace and are developing in the Wilderness Continent. With the strength and status of the Immortal Lord, it is difficult to be of much help. Moreover, your Seven Star Palace must be in a very difficult situation after the last catastrophe.
Therefore, in my opinion, if you want to come to Hongmengzhou to seek refuge with Immortal Lord Yuanli, it is necessary to maintain the old practice and pay tribute. If not, you should still save as much money as possible to consider for the future. Mr. Xianjun is a sensible person. I will mention it to him when the time comes. I think he will definitely understand. "Zong Yongshi said.
"Thank you, Uncle Zong, for your advice. In fact, when I met with the Immortal Lord, the Immortal Lord actually wanted to recruit me, but I still want to stay in the Wilderness Continent. As for the tribute, I think about it, it will be less in the future. But etiquette is indispensable," Si Shaonan said.
"It's okay to stay in Manhuang Continent, with Master Xianjun..." Zong Yong nodded.
"Master, something bad has happened!" Before Zong Yongshi could finish his words, a disciple hurried into the hall with a sad look on his face to report.
"Didn't you see that there is a distinguished guest here? Why are you so flustered and rude?" Zong Yong scolded him.
"Senior Sister Lan and Junior Brother Mu were killed!" the disciple said with a sad look on his face.
"How did they get into trouble? Where are Gong Yandu and Han Weiqing?" Zong Yongshi's face changed drastically when he heard this.
Lan Xiang and Mu Ce are both eighth-grade true immortals. They are Zong Yongshi's direct disciples and are key cultivation targets.
The two people were killed, which was definitely a heavy loss for Zong Yongshi.
"They are back. It was they who brought the news that Senior Sister Lan and Junior Brother Mu were killed. They said that they encountered a group of pythons. They escaped by chance, but Senior Sister and Junior Brother..." The disciple's voice was choked with sobs, and the following words Didn't say any more.
"A group of pythons!" Zong Yongshi's face darkened when he heard this.
"The most powerful pythons are usually at the ninth level. Gong Yandu is a ninth-level true immortal. Even if he encounters a group of pythons, the four of them will be able to escape together. But in the end, only the two of them escaped. Senior Sister and junior brother were killed. Either they were greedy for life and feared death, and abandoned their companions regardless of their safety, or there was something fishy!" When the disciple saw Zong Yong, his expression was gloomy, he wiped the tears from his eyes, and said with a look of sadness and anger.
"Don't talk nonsense about things that have no evidence. Please wait until my master has inquired before making a decision." Zong Yongshi said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The disciple responded, but his tone was obviously a little unwilling.
"You go down first, and I will go and ask for it myself later," Zong Yong said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes!" The disciple responded again, and then deliberately bowed his hand to Si Shaonan before retreating.
"The ones who were killed were two of your disciples, Uncle Zong. Due to emotions and reasons, those who escaped should report to you as soon as possible, instead of passing the news through your disciples, Uncle Zong.
Unless they are really afraid of life and death, abandoning the safety of their companions, or have other secrets, they need to report it to their superiors or elders first.
With your knowledge, Uncle Zong, it should not be difficult to see through this matter. Why did you warn your disciples like this just now? Could it be that Uncle Zong has some scruples? "Si Shaonan asked, his body showing a hint of sharpness.
Si Shaonan was extremely talented, and he was also the young master of the Seven Stars Palace. He was originally aloof and arrogant by nature, but he was very sharp. Later, when the Qixing Palace encountered a catastrophe, he restrained himself a lot, kept a low profile and tolerated everything, and discussed everything with Yin Chen, the leader of the Dayin Sect.
It’s just that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Moreover, during the battle in the Immortal Gathering Sea of Daman South China Sea, Qixing Palace was on the right team. In recent years, with the development of Jiuxuan Sect and the Wuji Sect behind the scenes, Si Shaonan’s strength has also increased a lot. , and gradually regained some confidence.
This sect was closely related to his father's life and death, so Si Shaonan and he had the same hatred, so he asked.
"You are right, I can see that there is something fishy about this matter. It's just that today is different from usual, and this Demon Slaying Pass is also different from other Demon Passes." Zong Yongshi sighed.
"Uncle Zong, what do you say?" Si Shaonan asked.
"This Demon Slaying Pass is located at the junction of Qing Ling Territory and Qing Ming Territory. It is also a medium-sized level. Not to mention that when the catastrophe comes, various Taoist immortals will lead their troops into the Demon Pass to fight against the demons. Usually five or six Taoist immortals are needed to guard it.
Guarding the Demon Pass is a hard job. The Demon Slaying Pass is located at the junction of the two realms, and there are usually a lot of Taoist immortals who need to be stationed there, so the garrison task is divided between the two realms.
Immortal Lord Yuanfu of Qingming Domain is stronger than Immortal Lord Yuanli in terms of strength and background. Originally, this was nothing. Since Immortal Yuanli could sit in Qingling Territory, even though his strength and background were not as good as Immortal Yuanfu, he was definitely not something that Immortal Yuanfu could provoke at will.
It's just that Immortal Lord Yuanli was seriously injured in the last tribulation and has not recovered yet, and the various forces in Hongmengzhou are very complicated. On the surface, the Immortal King is in charge, but in fact they all have their own camps.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the Immortal King's own interests are not involved, he will keep a blind eye and basically will not take the initiative to intervene.
The Gong Yandu and Han Weiqing I mentioned just now are the proud disciples of Gao Rixu, the Immortal General of Zhenguan. This Gao Rixu is a disciple of Immortal Lord Yuanfu, and he is more powerful than me. Because he made a mistake, Immortal Yuanfu was demoted to the Demon-Slaying Pass just now.
If there is any evidence for this matter, I will take the lead and come to ask for an explanation. But if you just rely on speculation and come to attack, I'm afraid you will be humiliating yourself! "Zong Yongshi said it with a look of aggrievedness on his face.
