"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 many hardships, I always felt sad," Si Shaonan said.
"Alas!" Zong Yongshi sighed, then raised his glass and gestured 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 Stars Palace to inherit the position of the Palace Master, 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 will follow the way he behaved during his lifetime, and I will 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 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, then it is necessary to maintain the old routine and pay tribute. If not, you should try your best to save your property and consider it for the future. Immortal Lord
Your Excellency 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 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 what he said, a disciple hurried into the hall with a sad look on his face to report.
"Didn't you see that our distinguished guest is 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 could they be in 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 direct disciples of Zong Yongshi and are key cultivation targets.
The two people were killed, which was definitely a heavy loss for Zong Yongshi.
"They are back, and 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 and they managed to escape, but Senior Sister and Junior Brother..." The disciple's voice was choked with sobs, and the rest of the words
Didn't say any more.
"A group of pythons!" Zong Yongshi's face darkened when he heard this.
"The most powerful pythons are generally at the ninth level. Gong Yandu is a ninth-level true immortal. Even if we encounter 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 without caring about 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 your teacher 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 shouldn't be difficult to see through this matter. Why did you warn your disciples like this just now? Could it be that you have some scruples, Uncle Zong?" Si Shaonan asked, his sharp edge slightly revealed.
Si Shaonan was extremely talented and the young master of the Seven Stars Palace. He was already aloof and arrogant at the time. Later, when the Seven Stars Palace encountered a disaster, he became more restrained. He kept a low profile and tolerated everything, and turned to the Great Yin Sect for everything.
The sect leader hid in the dust to discuss.
It’s just that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change, and in 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 Yuanli in terms of strength and background. Originally, this is nothing. Since Immortal Lord Yuanli can sit in Qingling Territory, even if his strength and background are not as good as Immortal Yuanfu, it is definitely not the case.
Immortal Lord Yuanfu can be provoked 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 belong to 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 Zhenguan Immortal General Gao Rixu. This Gao Rixu is the disciple of Immortal Lord Yuanfu, and he is more powerful than me. Because he made a mistake, he was killed by Yuanfu just now.
The Immortal Lord was demoted to the Demon-Slaying Pass.
If there is evidence for this matter, I can come to you and ask for an explanation. But if I just rely on speculation and come to attack, I'm afraid I will be humiliated!" Zong Yongshi said with a look of aggrievedness on his face.
