Chapter 94 Killing three birds with one stone
Looking at the motionless door.
Xin Qin regretted her original idea of hugging her thigh more and more.
Because of his impulsive decision, the two sisters were almost desperate.
"Little sister, let's go. I'm sorry for you. Let's find a way to leave Qianshan City..."
She could no longer hear the steward's taunts.
What she is thinking about now is how to help her sister leave Qianshan City safely.
"With that Green Wood Pill, my little sister can hope to break through the late stage of Qi refining and even build a foundation. Even if I die, I must help my little sister leave safely..."
She had just taken two steps when she was pulled.
Then Xin Rong's excited voice came, "Sister, look..."
Xin Qin turned around and saw the door to the secret room opened.
A figure appeared in front of several people.
Xin Qin couldn't help but shout, "Master..."
Liao Changxue beside him couldn't help but blurt out, "How could it be?"
Li Xiao walked out and said calmly, "How could it happen? Are you wondering why I am still alive?"
No need to think about it, just listening to this guy's tone and previous malicious attitude,
Li Xiao could guess that this was the guy who had tampered with the secret room formation that he had retreated into.
Liao Changxue reacted, his expression changed, and he quickly said, "Fellow Taoist, I misunderstood. I don't mean any harm..."
Li Xiao snorted coldly, "Are you worthy of calling me fellow Taoist?"
As he spoke, the aura of the foundation-building monks emanated,
Liao Changxue was shocked and turned pale. He was forced to back away from the pressure and said in shock, "You, you actually succeeded in building the foundation?"
In his opinion, after being tampered with by himself,
Even if this person didn't die, he would definitely have failed in building the foundation.
Unexpectedly, not only did he come out of seclusion in full swing, but he also succeeded in building a foundation.
Li Xiao said coldly, "It's surprising, isn't it? Did you think that due to your interference, I would definitely fail in building the foundation?"
Liao Changxue came back to his senses and forced out an ugly smile.
"Senior is joking. I'm just saying that it's just because senior came out of seclusion at the last moment of the time limit and successfully built the foundation, which surprised me. Please don't blame me, senior."
Li Xiao didn't accept this trick at all.
"You still pretend to be confused and cut off the spiritual energy of my secret room at the critical moment, thinking that you can make me fail to build the foundation? Fortunately, your grandfather and I are well prepared and talented. Even if there are many disasters, I can still succeed in building the foundation."
As he said that, he suddenly grabbed Liao Changxue.
Liao Changxue was shocked. He didn't expect that this guy would dare to attack him openly here.
"This is the inner city, and I am in charge of the Qianshan Sect. How dare you touch me."
He yelled and tried to dodge,
But there was nowhere to hide.
I saw an overwhelming big hand pressing down suddenly,
The terrifying aura was so overwhelming that he could only tremble.
Can't even move a step.
With a click, the automatically activated jade amulet on his body instantly shattered.
Li Xiao held Liao Changxue in his hand and said with a ferocious smile, "You really think I dare not touch you? Interfering with other people's foundation building is an unending blood feud. Even if I kill you, it is natural..."
Liao Changxue was horrified and said in a trembling voice, "I, I don't, you, you can't kill me. If you kill me, you won't be able to get out of the city..."
Xin Qin and Xin Rong were stunned and had no idea what was going on.
The mood of the two of them was like a roller coaster at this time.
At first, I thought that the master's foundation building had failed, and I was heartbroken.
Then I saw that the master came out of seclusion and successfully built the foundation, and I was very happy.
But then I saw a conflict between Li Xiao and the steward, and he took the steward down regardless.
Xin Qin said in shock, "Master, please calm down..."
She knew the seriousness of killing people in the inner city, especially those from the Qianshan Sect.
If the master really does something stupid, even if he builds his foundation, he will definitely not be able to escape from the city.
So her mood was really like a roller coaster, with ups and downs.
Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I have my own sense of discretion. Please wait for a while until I handle this matter..."
At this time, the movement here finally alerted the guards.
Several rays of light flew quickly.
"Who are you? Dare to take action in the inner city? Don't you know the rules?" A dignified middle-aged man appeared and shouted.
Behind the middle-aged man, several monks were standing ready.
When Liao Changxue saw the person coming, he quickly shouted, "Sir, please save me. This guy wants to kill me for no reason and completely ignores the rules of Qianshan City..."
Li Xiao exerted a little force on his hand, and the guy grinned in pain and was speechless.
At this time, because the noise was getting louder and louder, many monks who came here to rent secret rooms in the cave had been alerted.
Many monks began to watch and discuss.
"What's going on here?"
"I don't know, that person seemed to have a conflict with a steward, and he was taken down immediately..."
"This is the inner city. Fighting is strictly prohibited. This monk is very courageous..."
"It seems that he just successfully came out of seclusion by building a foundation. I'm afraid he thought that he could do whatever he wanted after building a foundation..."
"Now he is finished. The chief steward Yang Zhen is here. He is a great monk in the late stage of foundation establishment..."
The monks had nothing to do with themselves and took pleasure in the misfortune.
I just felt that this young man who had just successfully built the foundation was afraid that he was in a hurry, so he dared to attack the people of Qianshan Sect here.
The chief steward Yang Zhen said in a deep voice, "No matter what the reason is, let him go first and we will talk about it later. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude..."
As he spoke, the coercion of the late stage of foundation building emanated from him.
Li Xiao was unmoved and said, "Aren't you going to ask why I did it?"
Yang Zhen said coldly, "No matter what the reason is, as long as you dare to take action in the inner city, it is a provocation to the Qianshan Sect. This is the rule..."
Li Xiao said calmly, "Really? Then I would like to ask first, if I rent your cave at a high price, are you obligated to ensure my safety during my retreat?"
Yang Zhen frowned slightly, "This is natural, but..."
Li Xiao said, "Don't but, then if I rent your secret room to retreat and break through to build the foundation, someone tampered with the secret room I rented at the most critical time for my foundation building, almost causing my foundation building to fail and my body and soul to disappear. You guys Does the Qianshan Sect have any responsibility? And am I qualified to seek revenge from the person who did it? "
Yang Zhen frowned deeper, "What on earth do you mean?"
Li Xiao mentioned Liao Changxue, "It was your manager who cut off the supply of spiritual energy in the secret room at the most critical moment for me to break through the foundation building in seclusion, and almost killed me. Fortunately, I was well prepared and talented, so it was dangerous. Successful foundation building..."
Hearing this, the monks watching the excitement were in an uproar and talked about it.
"No way, the manager tampered with the secret room? If true, this would be fatal..."
"It's unlikely. If the steward did this, wouldn't he be destroying the Qianshan Sect's brand?"
"Yes, we casual cultivators just come to rent caves to practice and break through because we think Qianshan City has a good reputation. If this is true, who will dare to come here in the future..."
Yang Zhen naturally knew the seriousness of the matter and said sternly,
"That's nonsense. The caves rented by our Qianshan Sect have always been known for their safety. How could anyone tamper with your cave? This is just your one-sided statement. Let him go and confront him. If he is really from our Qianshan Sect, If there is a problem, there will naturally be corresponding punishment and compensation..."
Li Xiao smiled slightly and relaxed Liao Changxue's restraint.
After Liao Changxue could speak, he immediately shouted, "Boss, I'm wronged. How dare you dare to touch the secret room of the distinguished guest? This is a serious crime in the sect. Even if you give me ten courages, I will never do it." Dare, this person is the one slandering Xiao..."
Yang Zhen said in a deep voice, "He said no, so what do you say? Do you know what the crime is for slandering and ruining the reputation of our Qianshan Sect?"
At this time, a subordinate whispered, "Big Manager, we have found out. This guy's name is Liu Ming, he is just a casual cultivator with no background..."
Yang Zhen nodded and thought to himself, since he is a casual cultivator, there is nothing more to say. Let's take him down first, otherwise the matter will get worse and it will not end well.
But at this time, more and more monks gathered to watch the excitement.
Yang Zhen naturally couldn't let the situation develop like this.
The reason why he didn't take action before was because Liao Changxue was in the opponent's hands and was a bit of a defensive weapon.
But compared with the reputation of the sect, a disciple in the Qi refining stage is not incapable of sacrifice.
He first ordered the patrol team to drive away all the monks who were watching and sealed the scene.
Those monks who came to rent the secret room in the cave were naturally unwilling, saying that if they couldn't see the results, who would dare to rent the secret room in the cave with confidence.
Yang Zhen promised to give everyone an explanation after the investigation results came out, and then let everyone disperse.
Li Xiao pinched Liao Changxue, the old god was there.
As for Xin Qin and Xin Rong, he just sent a message asking them to follow the others and leave first, so there is no need to worry.
Although he said so,
But how could the two of them not be worried.
Their mood had hit rock bottom at this time.
If I had offended the Ji-building family, there was still hope of escaping.
If you offend the Qianshan Sect, there will really be no hope at all.
The two left the scene like zombies, waiting for their fate to be judged.
After the scene is sealed,
Yang Zhen snorted coldly, "You are provoking troubles for no reason and ruining the reputation of our Qianshan Sect. You are still stubborn. Do you think I don't dare to punish you on the spot, so as to set an example for others..."
Seeing him want to take action,
Li Xiao was not in a hurry.
On the contrary, Liao Changxue was anxious.
Because he knew that once he took action, he, as the hostage, would definitely be the first to die.
He couldn't help shouting, "Master, please help me!"
Li Xiao sneered, "You are indeed overbearing. Are you planning to kill me without asking any questions? Fortunately, my ancestors knew that I was in serious trouble this time and gave me a lot of preparations..."
As he spoke, he shook his hand casually, and a huge green figure three meters tall appeared next to him.
The figure roared after appearing, and terrifying pressure spread out.
Everyone's expressions changed greatly,
"The ghost slave who established the foundation of Dzogchen??"
Even Yang Zhen's expression changed.
It's not that he's afraid;
Even if his cultivation strength is not as high as this ghost slave,
But this was in Qianshan City, with a large formation guarding it and the ancestor sitting in charge, so what was he afraid of?
His expression changed because he heard Li Xiao's words.
Judging from what he means, he is not a casual cultivator without any background, but he has some profound background.
If he had said that at first, Yang Zhen wouldn't have believed it.
But as soon as the ghost slave who established the foundation of Dzogchen came out,
This credibility is greatly increased.
Those who can give the disciples the Ghost Slave of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen are at least the ancestors of the Golden Pill.
Look at the other party’s tough attitude
It explains the problem even more.
And it seems that this kid is still a very valued core disciple.Yang Zhen's face looked a little ugly, but it was impossible for him to stop as he was riding a tiger at this moment.
He secretly thought, "So what if the other party has a background in Jindan? Isn't my ancestor of the Qianshan Sect a Jindan? If we back down at this time, where will the face of our Qianshan Sect be? Call the big formation first and take down this kid. As long as his life is not harmed, even if the Jin Dan Patriarch behind him comes to visit us later, we will be the ones to blame, fearing what he will do..."
Although he said he was not afraid, his attitude changed unconsciously.
Previously, he had planned to execute the other party on the spot regardless of the situation, as a warning to others.
But now it has become a win without losing lives.
At this moment, Li Xiao waved his hand and took the ghost slave back again, saying,
"Actually, I'm not an unreasonable person. It's just that at the critical moment of foundation building, the supply of spiritual energy was cut off, interrupting the foundation building process. If it weren't for a rare treasure given by my ancestor, it would have worked. In addition, I have special talents. Damn it, I'm afraid he's already dead.
If something like this happens, I'm afraid anyone will be furious. In addition, the next time I came out of seclusion, I heard this guy making rude remarks. It seemed that he was the one behind it, so it completely exploded..."
Yang Zhen was stunned, not expecting that Li Xiao's attitude would change drastically.
Liao Changxue was still shouting, "I don't have a big manager, absolutely not..."
Yang Zhen shouted, "Shut up..."
Since the other party has given me the opportunity to step down,
He coughed lightly and said, "So, there must be some misunderstandings. If there is a problem in the VIP secret room, it is not a trivial matter for our Qianshan sect. We will definitely investigate it. Otherwise, we will You and I will go to the VIP room for tea first, and I will have people investigate it carefully, and I will definitely give you an explanation..."
Li Xiao smiled slightly, "That's very good..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to themselves, wouldn't it be over if you had just done this?
But they selectively forgot,
If Li Xiao hadn't released the ghost slaves with the perfect strength to build the foundation, pulled the tiger's skin to pull the flag, and pulled out an ancestor,
Will their Qianshan sect talk to him properly?
I'm afraid they won't be arrested directly, or they will be executed on the spot.
In fact, if he is really a casual cultivator who has just broken through the foundation building stage,
He would never choose to make things worse in the first place.
The most you can do is report it to the senior manager.
Of course, in this case, even if he has evidence,
But in order to conceal this matter and reduce the impact, Qianshan Sect probably gave him some compensation.
Then he characterized the matter as something suddenly went wrong with the formation.
And Liao Changxue probably won't be punished too severely.
At most, it's dereliction of duty and three drinks as a penalty.
And this is not the result Li Xiao wants.
He can indeed wait until the elixir is formed and then come to Qianshan Sect to settle the score.
But that will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
With his vengeful character, he naturally wanted to find a way to avenge him immediately.
So he came up with the idea of pulling the tiger's skin to pull up the banner.
Of course, if there is really no way to avenge some hatred on the spot, you should still endure it.
At that time, it is natural to endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.
But now, since there is a way, why endure it.
What's more, this move is also related to some of his subsequent plans.
In the reception room,
At this time, only Li Xiao, Yang Zhen and Liao Changxue were left.
Li Xiao and Yang Zhen sat at the top.
And Liao Changxue stood tremblingly below.
Yang Zhendao, "Fellow Taoist, please tell me in detail what is going on..."
Li Xiao didn't say anything and took out two jade charms.
Recording jade symbols can be recorded or recorded.
Recording images is just a trivial matter for the rune technology in the world of cultivating immortals.
One of the jade talismans recorded the scene where the spiritual energy of the secret room was cut off a month ago.
The other section records the unbridled words of Liao Changxue when he came out of quarantine.
Record and record evidence anytime, anywhere.
This is a good habit that Li Xiao developed after suffering many losses in his previous life.
At that time, he realized that the spiritual energy was cut off and there was something wrong with the formation, so he thought of retaining evidence and asked the Qianshan Sect for compensation.
Whether it's someone tampering with something or there's something really wrong with the formation,
Anyway, with the evidence in hand, Qianshan Sect can't rely on it.
Li Xiao said, "Fortunately, I also practiced formations, and my ancestor reminded me that I would be in a lot of disasters, so I must be fully prepared, so I arranged the spirit stones in the formation eyes in advance, and the ancestor gave me the magical powers. Bao, this is how he continued his spiritual energy at the critical moment without interrupting the foundation building process.
In fact, you can know this by checking the records. Your formations all have maintenance records, right?Usually such a large-scale spirit gathering array will have a maintenance record of more than a month, right?You should be able to find out if what I said is true or false by checking it out. Of course, if the record happens to be missing, then just pretend that I didn’t say it..."
What he meant was obvious. If the records were missing, someone must have probably deleted them.
And he is a formation master, so don’t try to fool him.
Yang Zhen looked at the situation in the secret room recorded in the jade talisman with an ugly expression on his face.
And Liao Changxue's expression was even uglier.
He didn't expect that Li Xiao would be so well prepared.
Not only does it prevent accidents that may occur during foundation building,
He was actually distracted enough to write down the evidence with the Recording Jade Talisman.
Yang Zhen opened another jade charm and heard Liao Changxue's unobstructed words.
'see it?Are you worried now?Building a foundation is never that easy.A lost dog also wants to succeed in building a foundation?What on earth were you thinking at that time, that you would be associated with such a person...'
Li Xiao had actually sensed the presence of sisters Liao Changxue and Xin Qin at the door.
And he keenly sensed the malice of this little steward.
So naturally he recorded his unabashed words.
Liao Changxue's face turned pale and he stammered, "I, I don't mean any harm, it's just, I, I have no hope of building a foundation, so I feel jealous, and that's why I speak so freely. Please, please forgive me, senior, the Secret Chamber Formation The law is really not what I did..."
Li Xiao chuckled, "Are you jealous? Why would you use the word "lost dog" if you were jealous? You also asked my concubine not to have anything to do with me. If you didn't know my details, would you say such a thing?"
Yang Zhen's face was as dark as water and he said nothing.
He has asked his men to check the formation records, and also Li Xiao's detailed information.
Li Xiao sighed and said, "Fellow Taoist may not know that I used to be like a lost dog. This time when I came back, in addition to building the foundation, I actually wanted to settle accounts with some people. But I didn't expect that before the settlement started, There was almost an accident, no wonder the ancestor said that this trip was full of disasters..."
At this time, a subordinate came in to report.
Yang Zhen's face changed as he listened to the voice transmission from his men.
First of all, there are indeed no abnormal records in the formation records.
Array failure alarms are automatically recorded for better maintenance.
But according to the images provided by Li Xiao, there was indeed a problem with the spirit gathering array in the secret room a month ago.
Moreover, the men sent to investigate also found a large number of residues left behind after the spiritual energy was absorbed from the spiritual stones in the secret room.
It could only be that someone deliberately deleted the record.
Then there is the background of the monk named Liu Ming.
According to the investigation, this guy is the young sect leader of a sect called Hunyuan Sect that was exterminated a few years ago.
After escaping, there was no trace of him.
Until he appeared in Qianshan City a few months ago.
Hunyuan Sect Yang Zhen is still impressed. After all, it is a foundation-building sect.
It can be considered a middle-level sect in the Wu Kingdom.
His subordinates reported that it was the Wang family of Qingling Lake who destroyed the Hunyuan Sect that year.
Yang Zhenxin said, "No wonder this guy said that he used to be a lost dog..."
It is very suspicious to think that Liao Changxue actually called him a lost dog.
Because according to the investigation, the two had no intersection before.
But in recent years, Liao Changxue had become very close to a steward of the Wang family's store in Qianshan City.
Then everything became clear.
Liao Changxue felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and immediately knelt on the ground, "Chief steward, I, I really didn't do anything. Maybe I was too tired during that time and didn't notice that the formation was malfunctioning..."
Yang Zhen's face was as dark as water, "No matter what, you will definitely not be able to escape if you are guilty of dereliction of duty. Take him down to me, put him in jail first, and keep him under strict supervision."
The two men dragged it down directly.
Yang Zhen coughed lightly, "Fellow Taoist, this matter is a bit complicated. We will investigate it carefully later and we will definitely give you an explanation. We, the Qianshan Sect, will also give you satisfactory compensation for your loss."
It is impossible to immediately admit that it is someone from the Qianshan Sect who is responsible for the mischief.
Moreover, it was a matter of how the disciples of the Golden Core cultivator should be compensated. He could not decide on this matter.
Li Xiao took a sip of tea, "It's easy to talk, as long as we can investigate the matter clearly, don't frame the good people, and don't let the bad people go... As for compensation, I think it's better to forget it..."
Yang Zhen said seriously, "How can this be calculated? No matter what the reason is, Taoist friends have indeed suffered losses. Our Qianshan sect has always been fair in dealing with things, and we will definitely not let Taoist friends suffer losses in vain."
Li Xiao smiled and said, "I have long heard that the Qianshan Sect is the leader of the Three Kingdoms in the southeast of Youzhou. It is upright and has a reputation all over the world. It is indeed well-deserved..."
Yang Zhen also smiled and said, "It's funny...but I'm a little curious. Since my fellow Taoist has a teacher, why would he call himself a casual cultivator and come to my Qianshan City to build the foundation?"
Foundation building is a huge matter, except for casual cultivators who have no other choice.
Who would be willing to risk building a foundation on someone else's territory?
Li Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "This is a long story. Taoist friends should also know that my surname is Liu Mingming. I used to be the young master of the Hunyuan Clan of Wu State. Later, the Hunyuan Clan was destroyed and I was killed by my enemies. Chased, I ran into Wuliang Mountain in desperation, and my mentor at this time was an ancestor of the demon cultivator in the mountain.
Although I joined the ancestor's sect, in fact, our sect does not have any fixed dojo, because the ancestor practices the method of the devil's heart and pays attention to traveling around and looking for opportunities.So naturally there is no sect cave for me to build a foundation.
This time I returned to the Kingdom of Wu to build the foundation, but it was because my ancestor said that there would be opportunities for me in my homeland, but it would also be full of disasters.After thinking about it, I felt that since monks like us wanted to move forward, how could we be afraid of disaster, so I returned to the Kingdom of Wu.If you want to build a foundation in Wu Kingdom, Qianshan City is naturally your first choice..."
Yang Zhen looked astonished, "So that's it..."
Li Xiao didn't know how much of his nonsense he believed.
Anyway, he just made an excuse, believe it or not.
Li Xiao continued, "Actually, I have another main purpose for coming back this time..."
Yang Zheng said, "Oh, what's the purpose?"
Li Xiao's expression turned cold, "Of course, all the young and old of my Hunyuan Clan are here to avenge me. I just don't know what your party thinks of my desire to avenge the Wang family of Qingling Lake?"
In fact, this was his main purpose of making things worse.
(End of this chapter)
Looking at the motionless door.
Xin Qin regretted her original idea of hugging her thigh more and more.
Because of his impulsive decision, the two sisters were almost desperate.
"Little sister, let's go. I'm sorry for you. Let's find a way to leave Qianshan City..."
She could no longer hear the steward's taunts.
What she is thinking about now is how to help her sister leave Qianshan City safely.
"With that Green Wood Pill, my little sister can hope to break through the late stage of Qi refining and even build a foundation. Even if I die, I must help my little sister leave safely..."
She had just taken two steps when she was pulled.
Then Xin Rong's excited voice came, "Sister, look..."
Xin Qin turned around and saw the door to the secret room opened.
A figure appeared in front of several people.
Xin Qin couldn't help but shout, "Master..."
Liao Changxue beside him couldn't help but blurt out, "How could it be?"
Li Xiao walked out and said calmly, "How could it happen? Are you wondering why I am still alive?"
No need to think about it, just listening to this guy's tone and previous malicious attitude,
Li Xiao could guess that this was the guy who had tampered with the secret room formation that he had retreated into.
Liao Changxue reacted, his expression changed, and he quickly said, "Fellow Taoist, I misunderstood. I don't mean any harm..."
Li Xiao snorted coldly, "Are you worthy of calling me fellow Taoist?"
As he spoke, the aura of the foundation-building monks emanated,
Liao Changxue was shocked and turned pale. He was forced to back away from the pressure and said in shock, "You, you actually succeeded in building the foundation?"
In his opinion, after being tampered with by himself,
Even if this person didn't die, he would definitely have failed in building the foundation.
Unexpectedly, not only did he come out of seclusion in full swing, but he also succeeded in building a foundation.
Li Xiao said coldly, "It's surprising, isn't it? Did you think that due to your interference, I would definitely fail in building the foundation?"
Liao Changxue came back to his senses and forced out an ugly smile.
"Senior is joking. I'm just saying that it's just because senior came out of seclusion at the last moment of the time limit and successfully built the foundation, which surprised me. Please don't blame me, senior."
Li Xiao didn't accept this trick at all.
"You still pretend to be confused and cut off the spiritual energy of my secret room at the critical moment, thinking that you can make me fail to build the foundation? Fortunately, your grandfather and I are well prepared and talented. Even if there are many disasters, I can still succeed in building the foundation."
As he said that, he suddenly grabbed Liao Changxue.
Liao Changxue was shocked. He didn't expect that this guy would dare to attack him openly here.
"This is the inner city, and I am in charge of the Qianshan Sect. How dare you touch me."
He yelled and tried to dodge,
But there was nowhere to hide.
I saw an overwhelming big hand pressing down suddenly,
The terrifying aura was so overwhelming that he could only tremble.
Can't even move a step.
With a click, the automatically activated jade amulet on his body instantly shattered.
Li Xiao held Liao Changxue in his hand and said with a ferocious smile, "You really think I dare not touch you? Interfering with other people's foundation building is an unending blood feud. Even if I kill you, it is natural..."
Liao Changxue was horrified and said in a trembling voice, "I, I don't, you, you can't kill me. If you kill me, you won't be able to get out of the city..."
Xin Qin and Xin Rong were stunned and had no idea what was going on.
The mood of the two of them was like a roller coaster at this time.
At first, I thought that the master's foundation building had failed, and I was heartbroken.
Then I saw that the master came out of seclusion and successfully built the foundation, and I was very happy.
But then I saw a conflict between Li Xiao and the steward, and he took the steward down regardless.
Xin Qin said in shock, "Master, please calm down..."
She knew the seriousness of killing people in the inner city, especially those from the Qianshan Sect.
If the master really does something stupid, even if he builds his foundation, he will definitely not be able to escape from the city.
So her mood was really like a roller coaster, with ups and downs.
Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I have my own sense of discretion. Please wait for a while until I handle this matter..."
At this time, the movement here finally alerted the guards.
Several rays of light flew quickly.
"Who are you? Dare to take action in the inner city? Don't you know the rules?" A dignified middle-aged man appeared and shouted.
Behind the middle-aged man, several monks were standing ready.
When Liao Changxue saw the person coming, he quickly shouted, "Sir, please save me. This guy wants to kill me for no reason and completely ignores the rules of Qianshan City..."
Li Xiao exerted a little force on his hand, and the guy grinned in pain and was speechless.
At this time, because the noise was getting louder and louder, many monks who came here to rent secret rooms in the cave had been alerted.
Many monks began to watch and discuss.
"What's going on here?"
"I don't know, that person seemed to have a conflict with a steward, and he was taken down immediately..."
"This is the inner city. Fighting is strictly prohibited. This monk is very courageous..."
"It seems that he just successfully came out of seclusion by building a foundation. I'm afraid he thought that he could do whatever he wanted after building a foundation..."
"Now he is finished. The chief steward Yang Zhen is here. He is a great monk in the late stage of foundation establishment..."
The monks had nothing to do with themselves and took pleasure in the misfortune.
I just felt that this young man who had just successfully built the foundation was afraid that he was in a hurry, so he dared to attack the people of Qianshan Sect here.
The chief steward Yang Zhen said in a deep voice, "No matter what the reason is, let him go first and we will talk about it later. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude..."
As he spoke, the coercion of the late stage of foundation building emanated from him.
Li Xiao was unmoved and said, "Aren't you going to ask why I did it?"
Yang Zhen said coldly, "No matter what the reason is, as long as you dare to take action in the inner city, it is a provocation to the Qianshan Sect. This is the rule..."
Li Xiao said calmly, "Really? Then I would like to ask first, if I rent your cave at a high price, are you obligated to ensure my safety during my retreat?"
Yang Zhen frowned slightly, "This is natural, but..."
Li Xiao said, "Don't but, then if I rent your secret room to retreat and break through to build the foundation, someone tampered with the secret room I rented at the most critical time for my foundation building, almost causing my foundation building to fail and my body and soul to disappear.

"Yes, we casual cultivators just come to rent caves to practice and break through because we think Qianshan City has a good reputation. If this is true, who will dare to come here in the future..."
Yang Zhen naturally knew the seriousness of the matter and said sternly,
"That's nonsense. The caves rented by our Qianshan Sect have always been known for their safety. How could anyone tamper with your cave? This is just your one-sided statement. Let him go and confront him. If he is really from our Qianshan Sect, If there is a problem, there will naturally be corresponding punishment and compensation..."
Li Xiao smiled slightly and relaxed Liao Changxue's restraint.
After Liao Changxue could speak, he immediately shouted, "Boss, I'm wronged. How dare you dare to touch the secret room of the distinguished guest? This is a serious crime in the sect. Even if you give me ten courages, I will never do it." Dare, this person is the one slandering Xiao..."
Yang Zhen said in a deep voice, "He said no, so what do you say? Do you know what the crime is for slandering and ruining the reputation of our Qianshan Sect?"
At this time, a subordinate whispered, "Big Manager, we have found out. This guy's name is Liu Ming, he is just a casual cultivator with no background..."
Yang Zhen nodded and thought to himself, since he is a casual cultivator, there is nothing more to say. Let's take him down first, otherwise the matter will get worse and it will not end well.
But at this time, more and more monks gathered to watch the excitement.
Yang Zhen naturally couldn't let the situation develop like this.
The reason why he didn't take action before was because Liao Changxue was in the opponent's hands and was a bit of a defensive weapon.
But compared with the reputation of the sect, a disciple in the Qi refining stage is not incapable of sacrifice.
He first ordered the patrol team to drive away all the monks who were watching and sealed the scene.
Those monks who came to rent the secret room in the cave were naturally unwilling, saying that if they couldn't see the results, who would dare to rent the secret room in the cave with confidence.
Yang Zhen promised to give everyone an explanation after the investigation results came out, and then let everyone disperse.
Li Xiao pinched Liao Changxue, the old god was there.
As for Xin Qin and Xin Rong, he just sent a message asking them to follow the others and leave first, so there is no need to worry.
Although he said so,
But how could the two of them not be worried.
Their mood had hit rock bottom at this time.
If I had offended the Ji-building family, there was still hope of escaping.
If you offend the Qianshan Sect, there will really be no hope at all.
The two left the scene like zombies, waiting for their fate to be judged.
After the scene is sealed,
Yang Zhen snorted coldly, "You are provoking troubles for no reason and ruining the reputation of our Qianshan Sect. You are still stubborn. Do you think I don't dare to punish you on the spot, so as to set an example for others..."
Seeing him want to take action,
Li Xiao was not in a hurry.
On the contrary, Liao Changxue was anxious.
Because he knew that once he took action, he, as the hostage, would definitely be the first to die.
He couldn't help shouting, "Master, please help me!"
Li Xiao sneered, "You are indeed overbearing. Are you planning to kill me without asking any questions? Fortunately, my ancestors knew that I was in serious trouble this time and gave me a lot of preparations..."
As he spoke, he shook his hand casually, and a huge green figure three meters tall appeared next to him.
The figure roared after appearing, and terrifying pressure spread out.
Everyone's expressions changed greatly,
"The ghost slave who established the foundation of Dzogchen??"
Even Yang Zhen's expression changed.
It's not that he's afraid;
Even if his cultivation strength is not as high as this ghost slave,
But this was in Qianshan City, with a large formation guarding it and the ancestor sitting in charge, so what was he afraid of?
His expression changed because he heard Li Xiao's words.
Judging from what he means, he is not a casual cultivator without any background, but he has some profound background.
If he had said that at first, Yang Zhen wouldn't have believed it.
But as soon as the ghost slave who established the foundation of Dzogchen came out,
This credibility is greatly increased.
Those who can give the disciples the Ghost Slave of Foundation Establishment Dzogchen are at least the ancestors of the Golden Pill.
Look at the other party’s tough attitude
It explains the problem even more.
And it seems that this kid is still a very valued core disciple.Yang Zhen's face looked a little ugly, but it was impossible for him to stop as he was riding a tiger at this moment.
He secretly thought, "So what if the other party has a background in Jindan? Isn't my ancestor of the Qianshan Sect a Jindan? If we back down at this time, where will the face of our Qianshan Sect be? Call the big formation first and take down this kid. As long as his life is not harmed, even if the Jin Dan Patriarch behind him comes to visit us later, we will be the ones to blame, fearing what he will do..."
Although he said he was not afraid, his attitude changed unconsciously.
Previously, he had planned to execute the other party on the spot regardless of the situation, as a warning to others.
But now it has become a win without losing lives.
At this moment, Li Xiao waved his hand and took the ghost slave back again, saying,
"Actually, I'm not an unreasonable person. It's just that at the critical moment of foundation building, the supply of spiritual energy was cut off, interrupting the foundation building process. If it weren't for a rare treasure given by my ancestor, it would have worked. In addition, I have special talents. Damn it, I'm afraid he's already dead.
If something like this happens, I'm afraid anyone will be furious. In addition, the next time I came out of seclusion, I heard this guy making rude remarks. It seemed that he was the one behind it, so it completely exploded..."
Yang Zhen was stunned, not expecting that Li Xiao's attitude would change drastically.
Liao Changxue was still shouting, "I don't have a big manager, absolutely not..."
Yang Zhen shouted, "Shut up..."
Since the other party has given me the opportunity to step down,
He coughed lightly and said, "So, there must be some misunderstandings. If there is a problem in the VIP secret room, it is not a trivial matter for our Qianshan sect. We will definitely investigate it. Otherwise, we will You and I will go to the VIP room for tea first, and I will have people investigate it carefully, and I will definitely give you an explanation..."
Li Xiao smiled slightly, "That's very good..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to themselves, wouldn't it be over if you had just done this?
But they selectively forgot,
If Li Xiao hadn't released the ghost slaves with the perfect strength to build the foundation, pulled the tiger's skin to pull the flag, and pulled out an ancestor,
Will their Qianshan sect talk to him properly?
I'm afraid they won't be arrested directly, or they will be executed on the spot.
In fact, if he is really a casual cultivator who has just broken through the foundation building stage,
He would never choose to make things worse in the first place.
The most you can do is report it to the senior manager.
Of course, in this case, even if he has evidence,
But in order to conceal this matter and reduce the impact, Qianshan Sect probably gave him some compensation.
Then he characterized the matter as something suddenly went wrong with the formation.
And Liao Changxue probably won't be punished too severely.
At most, it's dereliction of duty and three drinks as a penalty.
And this is not the result Li Xiao wants.
He can indeed wait until the elixir is formed and then come to Qianshan Sect to settle the score.
But that will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
With his vengeful character, he naturally wanted to find a way to avenge him immediately.
So he came up with the idea of pulling the tiger's skin to pull up the banner.
Of course, if there is really no way to avenge some hatred on the spot, you should still endure it.
At that time, it is natural to endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.
But now, since there is a way, why endure it.
What's more, this move is also related to some of his subsequent plans.
In the reception room,
At this time, only Li Xiao, Yang Zhen and Liao Changxue were left.
Li Xiao and Yang Zhen sat at the top.
And Liao Changxue stood tremblingly below.
Yang Zhendao, "Fellow Taoist, please tell me in detail what is going on..."
Li Xiao didn't say anything and took out two jade charms.
Recording jade symbols can be recorded or recorded.
Recording images is just a trivial matter for the rune technology in the world of cultivating immortals.
One of the jade talismans recorded the scene where the spiritual energy of the secret room was cut off a month ago.
The other section records the unbridled words of Liao Changxue when he came out of quarantine.
Record and record evidence anytime, anywhere.
This is a good habit that Li Xiao developed after suffering many losses in his previous life.
At that time, he realized that the spiritual energy was cut off and there was something wrong with the formation, so he thought of retaining evidence and asked the Qianshan Sect for compensation.
Whether it's someone tampering with something or there's something really wrong with the formation,
Anyway, with the evidence in hand, Qianshan Sect can't rely on it.
Li Xiao said, "Fortunately, I also practiced formations, and my ancestor reminded me that I would be in a lot of disasters, so I must be fully prepared, so I arranged the spirit stones in the formation eyes in advance, and the ancestor gave me the magical powers. Bao, this is how he continued his spiritual energy at the critical moment without interrupting the foundation building process.
In fact, you can know this by checking the records. Your formations all have maintenance records, right?Usually such a large-scale spirit gathering array will have a maintenance record of more than a month, right?You should be able to find out if what I said is true or false by checking it out. Of course, if the record happens to be missing, then just pretend that I didn’t say it..."
What he meant was obvious. If the records were missing, someone must have probably deleted them.
And he is a formation master, so don’t try to fool him.
Yang Zhen looked at the situation in the secret room recorded in the jade talisman with an ugly expression on his face.
And Liao Changxue's expression was even uglier.
He didn't expect that Li Xiao would be so well prepared.
Not only does it prevent accidents that may occur during foundation building,
He was actually distracted enough to write down the evidence with the Recording Jade Talisman.
Yang Zhen opened another jade charm and heard Liao Changxue's unobstructed words.
'see it?Are you worried now?Building a foundation is never that easy.A lost dog also wants to succeed in building a foundation?What on earth were you thinking at that time, that you would be associated with such a person...'
Li Xiao had actually sensed the presence of sisters Liao Changxue and Xin Qin at the door.
And he keenly sensed the malice of this little steward.
So naturally he recorded his unabashed words.
Liao Changxue's face turned pale and he stammered, "I, I don't mean any harm, it's just, I, I have no hope of building a foundation, so I feel jealous, and that's why I speak so freely. Please, please forgive me, senior, the Secret Chamber Formation The law is really not what I did..."
Li Xiao chuckled, "Are you jealous? Why would you use the word "lost dog" if you were jealous? You also asked my concubine not to have anything to do with me. If you didn't know my details, would you say such a thing?"
Yang Zhen's face was as dark as water and he said nothing.
He has asked his men to check the formation records, and also Li Xiao's detailed information.
Li Xiao sighed and said, "Fellow Taoist may not know that I used to be like a lost dog. This time when I came back, in addition to building the foundation, I actually wanted to settle accounts with some people. But I didn't expect that before the settlement started, There was almost an accident, no wonder the ancestor said that this trip was full of disasters..."
At this time, a subordinate came in to report.
Yang Zhen's face changed as he listened to the voice transmission from his men.
First of all, there are indeed no abnormal records in the formation records.
Array failure alarms are automatically recorded for better maintenance.
But according to the images provided by Li Xiao, there was indeed a problem with the spirit gathering array in the secret room a month ago.
Moreover, the men sent to investigate also found a large number of residues left behind after the spiritual energy was absorbed from the spiritual stones in the secret room.
It could only be that someone deliberately deleted the record.
Then there is the background of the monk named Liu Ming.
According to the investigation, this guy is the young sect leader of a sect called Hunyuan Sect that was exterminated a few years ago.
After escaping, there was no trace of him.
Until he appeared in Qianshan City a few months ago.
Hunyuan Sect Yang Zhen is still impressed. After all, it is a foundation-building sect.
It can be considered a middle-level sect in the Wu Kingdom.
His subordinates reported that it was the Wang family of Qingling Lake who destroyed the Hunyuan Sect that year.
Yang Zhenxin said, "No wonder this guy said that he used to be a lost dog..."
It is very suspicious to think that Liao Changxue actually called him a lost dog.
Because according to the investigation, the two had no intersection before.
But in recent years, Liao Changxue had become very close to a steward of the Wang family's store in Qianshan City.
Then everything became clear.
Liao Changxue felt something was wrong in the atmosphere and immediately knelt on the ground, "Chief steward, I, I really didn't do anything. Maybe I was too tired during that time and didn't notice that the formation was malfunctioning..."
Yang Zhen's face was as dark as water, "No matter what, you will definitely not be able to escape if you are guilty of dereliction of duty. Take him down to me, put him in jail first, and keep him under strict supervision."
The two men dragged it down directly.
Yang Zhen coughed lightly, "Fellow Taoist, this matter is a bit complicated. We will investigate it carefully later and we will definitely give you an explanation. We, the Qianshan Sect, will also give you satisfactory compensation for your loss."
It is impossible to immediately admit that it is someone from the Qianshan Sect who is responsible for the mischief.
Moreover, it was a matter of how the disciples of the Golden Core cultivator should be compensated. He could not decide on this matter.
Li Xiao took a sip of tea, "It's easy to talk, as long as we can investigate the matter clearly, don't frame the good people, and don't let the bad people go... As for compensation, I think it's better to forget it..."
Yang Zhen said seriously, "How can this be calculated? No matter what the reason is, Taoist friends have indeed suffered losses. Our Qianshan sect has always been fair in dealing with things, and we will definitely not let Taoist friends suffer losses in vain."
Li Xiao smiled and said, "I have long heard that the Qianshan Sect is the leader of the Three Kingdoms in the southeast of Youzhou. It is upright and has a reputation all over the world. It is indeed well-deserved..."
Yang Zhen also smiled and said, "It's funny...but I'm a little curious. Since my fellow Taoist has a teacher, why would he call himself a casual cultivator and come to my Qianshan City to build the foundation?"
Foundation building is a huge matter, except for casual cultivators who have no other choice.
Who would be willing to risk building a foundation on someone else's territory?
Li Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "This is a long story. Taoist friends should also know that my surname is Liu Mingming. I used to be the young master of the Hunyuan Clan of Wu State. Later, the Hunyuan Clan was destroyed and I was killed by my enemies. Chased, I ran into Wuliang Mountain in desperation, and my mentor at this time was an ancestor of the demon cultivator in the mountain.
Although I joined the ancestor's sect, in fact, our sect does not have any fixed dojo, because the ancestor practices the method of the devil's heart and pays attention to traveling around and looking for opportunities.So naturally there is no sect cave for me to build a foundation.
This time I returned to the Kingdom of Wu to build the foundation, but it was because my ancestor said that there would be opportunities for me in my homeland, but it would also be full of disasters.After thinking about it, I felt that since monks like us wanted to move forward, how could we be afraid of disaster, so I returned to the Kingdom of Wu.If you want to build a foundation in Wu Kingdom, Qianshan City is naturally your first choice..."
Yang Zhen looked astonished, "So that's it..."
Li Xiao didn't know how much of his nonsense he believed.
Anyway, he just made an excuse, believe it or not.
Li Xiao continued, "Actually, I have another main purpose for coming back this time..."
Yang Zheng said, "Oh, what's the purpose?"
Li Xiao's expression turned cold, "Of course, all the young and old of my Hunyuan Clan are here to avenge me. I just don't know what your party thinks of my desire to avenge the Wang family of Qingling Lake?"
In fact, this was his main purpose of making things worse.
