After the unexpected appearance of Sikong Zhenjiu, the people of the righteous path successfully completed their appointment with the demonic path at Feiyun Peak.
Lin Haoran and Ying Shuntian agreed that the candidates for the righteous path to participate in the battle to seize the seal would be decided separately. Three months later, the two righteous paths and the devil would compete in the battle to seize the seal.
For hundreds of years, the good and the evil have been in constant dispute and fighting, with both sides suffering casualties. As Lin Haoran said, this battle to seize the seal was decided through negotiation between the good and the devil. Its purpose was to reduce unnecessary casualties on both sides and to retain some fire for both the good and the devil.
Although the appointment at Feiyun Peak not only did not let the devil ask for an explanation for the five dead masters, he and the others almost disappeared forever. This made several heads of Zhengdao feel extremely aggrieved. Fortunately, not everything was gained during this trip. At least Xuanming Palace paid some price. The death of a deputy palace master was still done by Ying Shuntian himself. This It can be considered that the demonic path has broken off an arm invisibly, which is also a good thing for the righteous path.
Thinking of this, the leaders of Zhengdao felt a little more balanced. But at this moment, there was a person who was very restless in his heart.
This person is Lin Haoran, the leader of the Right Way.
Although they returned safely from this trip without any danger, he was becoming more and more anxious. There are two reasons for this.
First, the hand Ying Shuntian showed in killing the deputy palace master still frightened him and left him with lingering fear. Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for several years, Ying Shuntian's martial arts became more and more unpredictable. Thinking of his own martial arts, Lin Haoran could only keep shaking his head, feeling uneasy. Lin Haoran knew that he was no match for Ying Shuntian for the time being.
The second one is about the battle to seize the seal, because the five previous masters were attacked by the inner demon You Mo one after another, and all of them died. Even his most valued disciple Song Wanxi was not spared, which put him, Qiushui Villa and the entire righteous path into a dilemma. Although Yunfan has promised himself that he will do his best to help find the few peerless masters who were hidden from the world that day, but after so much time, he still doesn’t know what the situation is. Whether he has found any trace of those masters, he still has no idea. How can I feel at ease if I don’t know?
From this point of view, it is better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself. You cannot place all your hopes on others, and you need to make more plans yourself. This way, if something happens, you won't be completely panicked.
It’s time for me to speed up the pace of cultivation! Lin Haoran thought secretly in his heart.
At this time, a deep light flashed across Lin Haoran's eyes.
On the second day, Lin Haoran and the heads of the other four major sects gathered together to discuss some matters regarding the battle to seize the seal that had been agreed between Feiyun Peak and the Demon Dao Xuanming Palace.
Jiao Xun stood up, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Alliance leader, please accept my bow!"
Lin Haoran: "Master Jiao, there is no need to be polite!"
Jiao Xun said: "If the alliance leader hadn't exchanged his life, that Sikong Zhenjiu would definitely not have been willing to save me! I can save my life thanks to the alliance leader."
"That's right," said the leader of Mingdao: "It all depends on the leader of the alliance to convince Sikong Zhenjiu. Otherwise, it will be a question whether we and our group can leave Feiyun Peak alive."
"Leader, please accept my respects!"
Lin Haoran waved his hand and said: "You leaders are serious! As the leader of the alliance, it is my duty to protect those who are on the right path."
The leader of Xuanzhen Temple, Ge Da, bowed slightly and said: "The alliance leader is humble and admirable!"
At this time, there was a call outside the door: "Master of the village, Yun Fan wants to see you."
Lin Haoran made a "please" gesture: "Please come quickly!"
Geda said: "Since Yunfan is here, could it be that there are already several masters already there?!"
Lin Haoran also smiled happily when he heard this, clearly agreeing with what he said.
As everyone knows, Yun Fan did not really find out the whereabouts of the five masters during this trip. Because the Jianghu Baixiaosheng Wu Wangji who knew their whereabouts was dead, but it was not that they found nothing. At least they knew that Wu Wangji left a special prescription that might be related to the traces of the five masters before he died.
Not long after, Yun Fan and the death-seeking master walked in.
Lin Haoran quickly stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted: "Brother Yun, master of death wishing."
"Master Lin." Yun Fan and Qiu Death both bowed in return.
"Did you find your friend?!" Lin Haoran asked eagerly.
"That's right," Yun Fan said seriously, "It's a pity that when I found him, he had already been killed by people from Xuanming Palace."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Haoran and several leaders were all stunned.
The death-seeking master added: "It was the work of the Shuitang envoy of the Five Elements Hall of Xuanming Palace."
After a while, Lin Haoran sighed deeply and said dejectedly: "It seems that we will always have to select disciples from various sects to challenge us. Even if their martial arts are not as good as those from Xuanming Palace."
"That's not asking them to die."
"That's not necessarily true," Yun Fan said: "My friend left some clues when he died. I believe that with these clues, we can definitely find the whereabouts of the five masters."
Because this matter was of great importance, in order to avoid leaks, Yun Fan only told Lin Haoran the general information about the clues they found.
"Prescriptions?!" Lin Haoran said in surprise: "You mean the clues are hidden in those five prescriptions."
"That's right," Yun Fan said, "according to my speculation, after my friend was hit by the Shui Tang Envoy's fingerless palm, he also had a premonition that he was about to die soon, so he thought of this method. Even if he was attacked by Xuan Ming Palace, Although people discover these prescriptions, they may not be able to understand the mystery. And these five-flavored prescriptions correspond to the whereabouts of the five masters."
Lin Haoran heard this and took two steps slowly: "But according to what you said, who can interpret these five prescriptions?"
Yun Fan looked sideways at Lin Haoran and said, "I have already thought of someone who can help with this."
When Lin Haoran heard this, he smiled happily: "Then Brother Lao Yun is responsible for this matter!"
Yun Fan nodded, paused, and said, "Master, you have to be more careful after I hit the road."
"Brother Yun means..."
Since the people in Xuanming Palace can expect that I will find Wu Wangji, then they may also know about our plan. "
Hearing this, Lin Haoran's voice suddenly lowered: "What Brother Yun said...does it mean something else?! Could it be that you suspect the spies from Xuanming Palace in our righteous path!"
Yun Fan nodded deeply and whispered: "I don't rule out this possibility."
Lin Haoran patted his chest and promised: "Brother Yun, don't worry, if this is really the case, I, Lin Haoran, will definitely catch this spy with my own hands and cut him into pieces."
Yun Fan nodded lightly and said no more on this matter. After all, this matter is not a glorious thing for the righteous way. And it must be kept confidential, and visits must be conducted in secret. To avoid causing unnecessary disturbances.
Yun Fan seemed to have thought of something and said casually: "Master, do you need to take a look at this prescription?!"
Lin Haoran waved his hand and said: "No need. Since it is a secret, the fewer people know about it, the better. Besides, I absolutely believe that Brother Yun is capable of completing this task."
Yun Fan responded happily: "I will definitely live up to your trust!"
————
The night is as dark as water, the sky is dotted with stars, and the gentle breeze is refreshing. It brings joy to the heart.
But Yunfan became increasingly heavy and worried. He looked at the two star formations in the sky: [Tiandao Star and Demon Tribulation Star], and was speechless for a long time.
There were so many things that he worried about. Sometimes he really envied Sikong Zhenjiu, his uninhibited and free life, completely ignoring all the rules of the world and doing whatever he wanted. Just do whatever you want!
But Yun Fan is not him after all, and cannot be like him.
I have been searching for so many years in the world, but I still can't find any trace of my senior brother. I have to fulfill my master Wu Xiangzi's instructions before his death, stop his crazy behavior, and prevent the terrible curse of [Demon Chang Dao Xiao] from becoming a reality.
But now it seems that all his previous efforts are useless, and all signs have shown that [Demon Changdao Elimination] is the general trend. Even though he has extraordinary abilities, it is difficult for him to change. He cannot save the people he wants to save, and cannot accomplish the things he wants to accomplish.
Nowadays, the power of evil is growing day by day, while the power of righteousness is declining.
In order to cope with the battle to seize the seal, Zhengdao didn't even have a master who could do it. This has to be said to be the tragedy of Zhengdao! Not only in the world of martial arts, but also among the people, there are rumors and chaos, which makes people panic for a while!
And this also proves from the side that the general trend of [Demon Changdao Xiao] will be unstoppable.
All of this is developing in the worst direction.
It is said that the world is impermanent, but self-discipline will bring peace. But now, no one in the world can help themselves. How can we talk about self-discipline? Even though I still have a choice, between life and death, benevolence and violence, right and wrong, no matter what I choose, I still can't save anyone!
Is this fate? Is fate really irresistible? Yunfan kept asking himself questions in his heart.
But I still didn't get the answer I wanted for a long time. Therefore, Yun Fan felt very depressed at this time. He didn't even notice that someone had quietly come behind him.
At this time, a slow and soft footsteps sounded from behind him, and a purple figure walked toward where he was.
It is Lin Haoran’s wife Qinxian. She was dressed in a long purple dress. She had a noble bearing when she looked at her, and her every frown and smile made everything else pale. She was like a banished immortal coming to earth, and her temperament was extraordinary and unparalleled!
"Is there something abnormal in the sky?" Qin Xian glanced at the twinkling stars in the sky and said with a smile.
"Mrs. Lin." Yun Fan turned his eyes and suddenly heard her very familiar voice. His heart strings moved slightly and his mind was in a trance.
Suddenly he recalled that when Qinxian was still Ruolan, Yunfan would explain these mysterious and interesting things to her every day.
Everything seems like yesterday, but now things have changed and things have changed.
Qin Xian came to him slowly and said softly: "There are stars in the sky, and I am afraid you are the only one in the world who can understand the mystery of this."
In fact, what Qinxian doesn't know is that there is another person in today's world who also has this ability. He is the senior brother Yunfan is trying his best to find - Murong Hua.
Today, the two of them are the only two people from the hidden sect Tianyan Sect that exist in the world. They are also sworn enemies and enemies who will never stop fighting. Yun Fan's purpose in finding him was to kill him, clean up the door for his master, avenge the dead master and all his brothers and sisters, and fulfill his master Wu Xiangzi's instructions before his death to prevent the occurrence of the Demon Changdao.
Yun Fan did not tell Qin Xian about everything about Yun Fan, his senior brother Murong Hua and their sect, so Qin Xian knew nothing about it.
"Actually, I came here this time to thank you for agreeing to help my husband." Qin Xian said.
Yun Fan said calmly: "You're welcome!"
Qinxian continued: "I know that you have never liked to interfere in the affairs of the world. This time you are willing to help the right way. It is really rare."
"Actually, my help this time is not all for the sake of righteousness." Yun Fan looked sideways at the night sky with a solemn gaze and said: "Recently, I have been observing the sky at night and found that the light of the Demon Tribulation Star is getting stronger and stronger, while the light of the Tiandao Star is... It’s getting weaker and weaker. In order to stop the Demonic Changdao from disappearing, I don’t even think about not intervening.”
Qin Xian sighed slightly and said: "After all these years, you are still worried about the world. To be honest, besides coming here to thank you, I also have something else to ask for. . I hope you can keep our friendship in mind and promise me."
Yun Fan: "But it doesn't matter."
Qinxian continued: "You must have heard about Yanran being expelled from the school. Originally, she saved so many people in Feiyun Peak and made great contributions to the righteous path, so she could return to Qiushui Villa. But because of her relationship with Sikong Zhen Jiu's words were ambiguous in front of everyone, and my husband didn't want her to return to his family."
That day at Feiyun Peak, Lin Haoran and all the righteous people saw Ye Yanran and Sikong Zhenjiu coming together, and their behavior was different: Sikong Zhenjiu called her "Madam" and "Mrs." in public. "" and other ambiguous words, and his behavior was quite frivolous; and what is shocking is that although Ye Yanran showed displeasure, she did not reprimand her. This is silence, and in the eyes of everyone, silence is acquiescence.
It is true that in the hearts of Lin Haoran and others, Sikong Zhenjiu is still a frivolous and romantic prodigal. However, Ye Yanran actually had an ambiguous relationship with such a person and was involved. This is something that upright people like Lin Haoran cannot tolerate.
In the eyes of these people, especially Lin Haoran, this was something that was insulting to the family tradition and immoral. Lin Haoran was afraid of causing gossip and being criticized; therefore, she was not allowed to return to Qiushui Villa for the time being.
But in fact, all of this was done intentionally by Ye Yanran, that is, Ye Ruyan.
And all the righteous people in Qiushui Villa, including Lin Haoran and his wife, really know nothing about this!
