One month later.
Wuqi Mountain, Xiaodanfeng.
Ye Fei invited the two peak masters Lu Changan and Shi Manrong to the cave to have a drink and talk.
"Haha, it's so satisfying! The 'Master Xiang' who came to Wu Qi Mountain back then to show off his power is now on the wanted list of Lihuo Palace."
Ye Fei was in a happy mood and drank wine to celebrate.
"Are you talking about Xiang Jinglong?"
Lu Changan was startled for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, but it wasn't acting.
More than half a month after returning from Chishuifang City, everything was calm. There was no abnormal reaction from Lihuo Palace, and monks such as Song Wenshu had not come to Wuqi Mountain to investigate.
In order to avoid suspicion, he would not deliberately inquire about it.
Only then did we learn the relevant news.
"That's right! It's Xiang Jinglong! His name is already on the wanted list for the Lihuo Palace sect's mission."
Ye Fei's face turned red and he said firmly.
Back then, Xiang Jinglong came to Xiaodanfeng to eat the King's meal, and he ate for free, which made Ye Fei suffer a lot. It is definitely unrealistic to say that he does not hold any grudges.
"Xiang Jinglong, as a fake elixir master, has committed something and is wanted by Lihuo Palace?"
Shi Manrong said in surprise.
"It is said that this person secretly worked as a robbery cultivator in the past years and did a lot of bullying, murder and treasure grabbing. Among the victims were relatives, friends and descendants of the Lihuo Palace monks. Several cases accumulated and had a bad impact, causing the Lihuo Palace Law Enforcement Hall to
of attention..."
Ye Fei explained the reason.
"Xiang Jinglong is quite famous among casual cultivators and has a bad reputation. This person has become a wanted criminal. I believe many cultivators will applaud him."
Shi Xianzi pursed her lips and smiled, feeling very happy, but she didn't think much about it.
Learn the reason why Xiang Jinglong is wanted.
Lu Changan's eyes flashed slightly, he probably guessed the truth, and felt funny in his heart.
On that day, Xiang Jinglong took action near Chishuifang City without revealing his identity, including the identifiable magic weapon and skill characteristics.
This person even called himself "He" in an attempt to confuse the situation.
As a result, the pot was still not thrown away.
…
As the No. 1 sect in the immortal cultivation world of the Liang Kingdom, Lihuo Palace is a Nascent Soul-level force, and its intelligence network and tracking capabilities are beyond the imagination of ordinary monks.
Even though Xiang Jinglong acted cautiously, he did not reveal any obvious flaws.
But as long as you stay in Chishuifang City for a period of time and leave some traces, you may be investigated by Lihuo Palace, and conclusions can be drawn through analysis.
Of course, Xiang Jinglong is wanted for "old things" he committed in the past.
Only Lu Changan knew that the real reason was that Senior Brother Zhuo's death had caused displeasure among the senior management of Lihuo Palace and they decided to punish him.
Lu Changan has experienced several lives, and this is not the first time he has seen something like this happen.
At certain times, the upper-level forces suddenly took action to punish the "villains", seemingly to eliminate harm for the majority of lower-level monks, and won widespread praise.
In fact, the truth may be that the villains offended the big shots at the top.
Or it may be the result of a game at the top, which decided to target the "villain", find a breakthrough among his past crimes and accusers, convict him, and then implicate the opponent at the top.
The starting point is top-down.
Instead of working from the bottom up, we truly advocate for the victims of the lower-level monks.
Otherwise, Xiang Jinglong, a monk with evil deeds wandering in the gray area, would not be wanted by Lihuo Palace until today.
In the Liang Kingdom’s world of immortality, there is an unspoken rule:
As long as a real-life strong person has not committed a major crime or left behind irrefutable evidence, the sect will not easily arrest him.
After all, a real person is not that easy to find and may cause backlash.
"This Master Xiang probably doesn't know the truth about why he is wanted."
Returning to Xiaogui Peak, Lu Changan looked happy and chuckled.
It’s not that Xiang Jinglong is stupid.
It's that he doesn't know Senior Brother Zhuo's identity or the inside story at all.
You don't even know who you offended.
…
The next few months.
Lu Changan silently paid attention to the situation of Zhenren Xiang being wanted, but he could not show his concern deliberately.
In the meantime, there were various versions of rumors.
Some people say that Xiang Jinglong was seriously injured by the monks of the sect.
Some people also say that Xiang Zhenren concealed his name and hid in the mortal world, or even fled to a neighboring country.
Judging from the rumors alone, Lihuo Palace’s wanted status for Xiang Jinglong is not small.
Until a few days after Lu Changan turned one hundred and twenty-nine years old.
Song Wenshu visited Wuqishan and brought precise news.
Song Wenshu did not come alone.
Next to him was an old man in robes who was as skinny as a stick and had dull eyes.
"Lin...Fellow Daoist Lin?"
"Master Lin?"
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong were surprised. They looked at the old man in robes and recognized his identity from the outline of his face and the dark red spots.
This person is Alchemist Lin Ye, the previous peak master of Xiaodan Peak.
Lu Changan made a brief observation and found that Lin Ye's cultivation had dropped to the early stage of foundation building. His body was damaged, he seemed to have been tortured, and his mind was in a trance.
All in all, it has been more than twenty years since Alchemist Lin Ye left Wuqi Mountain, and he has not been heard from since.
At that time, Master Lin said that he was returning to his hometown to take care of himself.
This situation may have drawn a clear line with the world of immortality, so Lu Changan and Shi Manrong did not explore this matter.
This is the case in the world of immortality. Over the long years, you will encounter countless passers-by.
Even a long-lived person cannot understand the fate and final destination of everyone he knows.
"Lu...fellow Taoist...teacher...teacher Xianzi."
Lin Ye forced a smile on his face, a bit of a giggle, and spoke hesitantly.
"Fellow Daoist Lin was imprisoned by Xiang Jinglong for more than 20 years. He made elixirs day and night, suffered torture, and planted various restrictions. His sea of ​​consciousness was damaged, leaving some sequelae in his sanity..."
Song Wenshu secretly sent a message to explain the situation.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong looked at each other, sighing in sympathy.
After communication, Lu Changan initially judged that Lin Ye only had the IQ of a three- or four-year-old child.
His memory is incomplete and confusing, but he has deep feelings for Wu Qishan and has a deep impression on Lu Changan and Shi Manrong.
"After Lin Ye was rescued, he was unconscious and asked to come to Wuqi Mountain..."
Song Wenshu added.
Lu Changan nodded and prepared to invite Song Wenshu to the cave in Xiaogui Peak.
"Little Danfeng..."
Lin Ye murmured, staring at the highest mountain on the other side, refusing to move.
…
