The Tao family heard the news that the disciples of the Immortal Sect were about to arrive, so they waited outside the manor early. When they saw Qingyang and others, the Tao family all came to welcome them.
First there was an old man in his fifties, with a second-level cultivation of Qi Refining. This person needs no introduction. He must be Tao Yougong, the younger brother of the Tao family leader, who is also Tao Zhengyou’s uncle. Behind him were five or six pulse-opening monks.
They vary in age, the youngest is only ten or twenty years old, and the elder is fifty or sixty years old. They should all be able to speak in the Tao family, but they are not as respected as Tao Zhengyou and Tao Yougong.
When they saw Chen Biwang and his group from the Immortal Sect, especially Qingyang who was only in his twenties but already at the third level of Qi Refining, many people showed envy unconsciously on their faces.
When they came to the crowd, Qingyang and others unconsciously released a little momentum. They could not weaken their reputation as disciples of the Immortal Sect. Even though Chen Biwang was dressed strangely, the momentum of the fifth level of Qi Refining was still very strong. As long as he stood there
, no one dares to show any disrespect to him.
Feeling the momentum from the opposite side, Tao Yougong knew that Chen Biwang was the leader. He brought the Tao family to the front, bowed deeply to Chen Biwang, and said: "Old Tao Yougong, bring all the disciples of the Tao family to visit Qingfeng Hall.
Immortal messenger."
Chen Biwang graciously accepted the visit of the Tao family, paused for a moment, and then, with the air of a disciple of the Immortal Sect, gave him a slight support and said: "Although your Tao family has moved to Yongzhou, after all, the Tao family also comes from the Qingfeng Palace.
, and the ancestors of the Tao family have contributed a lot to the Qingfeng Palace without any intention, so we are from the same family, so Tao Taoist friend does not need to be polite."
Just as Tao Yougong was about to say a few more words of humility, Tao Zhengyou beside him interrupted and said: "Second uncle, several senior brothers have come all the way and have worked hard all the way. Let's invite a few senior brothers in first."
Being interrupted by his nephew, Tao Yougong seemed a little dissatisfied. He glared at Tao Zhengyou calmly and said hurriedly: "It's all my fault. I was so happy that I forgot to invite all the fellow Taoists from the Immortal Sect into my home. Fellow Taoists,
Please come inside!"
Qingyang looked at the two people from behind. The relationship between their uncle and nephew did not seem to be very harmonious. There seemed to be some secret competition between the two. It would be fine if this competition was just something insignificant.
When it comes to life and death, this matter becomes more complicated.
Qingyang has seen a lot of this kind of fratricide. For example, when he was in Kaiyuan Mansion, the Hu brothers of the Tiger Gang. As soon as the boss Hu Zhensong died, the following people started fighting openly and secretly. In the end, the entire Tiger Gang almost disappeared.
, I hope the Tao family will not make the same mistake again.
Tao Yougong and Tao Zhengyou made invitational gestures on the left and right. Chen Biwang walked in the front without hesitation, followed by Qingyang and Lu Dingshan, and entered the Tao family's manor together.
After walking through the house and courtyard, Tao Yougong led everyone to the reception hall. After everyone took their seats, he served spiritual tea that can improve eyesight and clear the mind, and then he said: "Several immortal sect envoys have come from afar, we Tao Yougong
I am really grateful.”
Chen Biwang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said calmly: "Fellow Tao, you are too polite. This is all arranged by Qingxin Sanren, the head of the outer courtyard of Qingfeng Palace. We are just following orders. You should first tell us where the incident happened to Master Tao."
The situation."
Tao Zhengyou said something about the Tao family, but he was speaking in general terms. In particular, everyone still knows nothing about the situation in the dangerous place where the Tao family leader had an accident. Now that we have arrived, we need to take action immediately. There are some things we must ask.
clear.
Before Tao Yougong could speak, Tao Zhengyou said first: "Senior brothers, the reason why I didn't elaborate on it on the way is because the matter is very important. The dangerous place involves the cave of a senior foundation builder. I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble, so
That’s why some key things were hidden.”
"What is Senior Foundation Architect's cave?" Chen Biwang couldn't help but ask.
The only ones present were Qi Refining monks, and Foundation-Building monks were still superior to them. If a Foundation-Building monk's cave could be found here, there might be a lot of unexpected gains, and it would be worth traveling so far.
Fortunately, Tao Zhengyou didn't say so much when he was in Qingfeng Hall, otherwise it wouldn't be their turn.
Tao Zhengyou was about to answer, but Tao Yougong next to him reprimanded: "Zhengyou, don't talk nonsense. If you mislead the judgment of several immortal sect envoys, you will not be able to bear the consequences when something happens. The cave of the foundation-building monks is only ours."
My guess is that it is more like an underground palace built by predecessors. It is gloomy inside and does not seem to be the work of a righteous monk."
Isn't it the cave of a foundation-building monk? Chen Biwang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but then he heard that the other party said it was an underground palace, and he suddenly became interested again and said: "Tell me in detail what happened."
Tao Yougong said: "About half a year ago, my eldest brother accidentally heard that there was an abnormality in Phoenix Mountain not far from our manor. It seemed that a treasure was born, so he took several Tao family disciples to find out. Who knew that place was very mysterious?
It was an evil sect, and everyone who went in got into trouble. Only one disciple who was outside escaped and escaped. After that, we kept looking for help and organized two groups of people to go to the rescue. As a result, not only was no one rescued, but everyone else was also trapped.
Once inside, it would be very difficult to find someone, so in desperation, Zhengyou went to Qingfeng Palace to ask for help."
"Who were the people who went in the previous two groups?" Qingyang suddenly asked.
Tao Yougong said: "My Tao family has limited abilities, so we only hired one early-stage Qi-refining monk to go down with a group of Pulse-opening monks in the first batch. After their accident, we spent a lot of money to hire a group of early-stage Qi-refining monks.
Unexpectedly, something happened, and it will be very difficult to find someone later. The cultivation level is too low to get in, and the price for those with high cultivation level is also high. Our Tao family cannot afford that price."
Something happened to the team that were all monks in the early stage of Qi training. It seems that this matter is really difficult to handle. Chen Biwang paused and said: "Just saying this can't tell the result. Since you
He said that Phoenix Mountain is not far from here, let’s go there and have a look as soon as possible.”
For Tao Zhengyou, his father was still trapped in the underground palace. The sooner he went to rescue him, the greater the chance of recovery. So Tao Zhengyou quickly said: "Okay, I will make preparations now."
"Don't worry, I still have something to say." Tao Zhengyou was about to leave, but Tao Yougong next to him suddenly stopped him. Then he looked at Chen Biwang and others and said, "I have been to Qingfeng Palace in the past few months.
In fact, I haven't been idle at home. With my previous connections with the Tao family, I have roped in a few more people to help. They will arrive in the next two days. It won't be too late for us to go when everyone is gathered."
"Second uncle, saving people is like putting out fire." Tao Zhengyou said anxiously.
