Seeking Immortality

Seeing these newly arrived monks from the Kuxiu Valley spread out their formations and surrounded the monks from Jiuhua Sect as soon as they landed on the ground, as if they were afraid that they would escape. The monks present were slightly stunned. Some of the monks seemed to have thought of something, and their eyes were slightly alert when they looked at the monks from Jiuhua Sect.

As for the monks from Jiuhua Mountain, after seeing the hostile behavior of these monks from the Kuxiu Valley, they all showed a layer of anger, and gathered their spiritual energy in their bodies to prevent any accidents.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanxian, what do you mean?"

"Why are you surrounding us, Fellow Daoist Xuanxian? This will cause misunderstandings between you and me."

As Xuanxian and Xuanling slowly landed on the ground with five young cultivators, Xuanjian and Zhang Hualing asked at the same time, but Xuanjian's voice was full of dissatisfaction in addition to doubt, while Zhang Hualing's tone was alert and angry.

But Xu Qingfan suddenly had a bad feeling, because he found that the five young disciples looked at him, Jin Qinghan, and Lu Qingshang with hatred in their eyes, just like Gong Qingya and others before.

At the same time, the heads and guardians of the several major sects who had just questioned Xuanxuan about the whereabouts of his disciples also cried out in surprise after seeing the five young cultivators behind Xuanxian and Xuanling.

"Tian'er, I'm glad you're okay."

"Li Hu, where are your four junior brothers? Why are you alone?"

"Kaihuan, where is your junior brother? What happened these days?"

These five young cultivators were the disciples of various sects who were seriously injured but not dead after being attacked before.

As the heads and elders of various sects saw their beloved disciples appear, they asked one after another, and the whole scene seemed a little chaotic for a while.

Seeing the monks on the field asking questions one after another, Xuanxian and Xuanling looked at each other, but did not answer immediately. Instead, they bowed to the monks present and said in a gentle voice: "Dear Daoists, Xuanxian is late. Please forgive me."

Seeing Xuanxian and Xuanling bowing to themselves and others, the monks responded and bowed in return. However, only the people from Jiuhua Mountain still stood proudly with expressionless faces, because these monks from Kuxiu Valley who had just arrived here still surrounded them, and did not relax at all because of Zhang Hualing's questioning. Some monks from Kuxiu Valley even looked at the monks from Jiuhua Gate with a hint of hatred in their eyes.

For the monks from Jiuhua Gate. Kuxiu Valley's behavior has hurt the face of Jiuhua Gate for thousands of years, so naturally they will not return the courtesy to the monks from Kuxiu Valley.

Seeing the dissatisfaction of the Jiuhua Sect monks and the anxious faces of the monks from the sects whose disciples were missing, Xuanxian sighed slightly and explained to the monks: "The doubts of all Daoists are actually just one question - what happened on Huandao these days. I will now report to you what I have seen, encountered, and guessed. What is the conclusion, please make the decision."

As he said, Xuanxian told the monks present everything that happened on Huandao in the past three days, from the calmness of the first day on Huandao to the sudden change on the first night. Many Kuxiu Valley monks who secretly guarded the disciples of various sects were lured away, and the disciples of various sects died or were injured in a short time.

Then he said that on the second day, when some Kuxiu Valley monks were escorting seriously injured disciples from various sects back to Zhantai from the teleportation array, they found that the teleportation array had been destroyed, and these Kuxiu Valley monks and seriously injured disciples of various sects were trapped in the array ambush. Until later. Xuanxian and other cultivators from Kuxiu Valley rushed to help after they felt something was wrong, and they rescued everyone, but three seriously injured disciples from various sects were still affected and died.

Then, Xuanxian's tone became heavy, and he began to talk about the second night, when the cultivators from Kuxiu Valley suddenly felt a strong spiritual fluctuation coming from somewhere on Huandao. When the cultivators rushed there, they found Xu Qingfan and three others who were hiding, as well as Feng Qingtian who was seriously injured. Xuanxiu, who was guarding them, and Xuanku, who was guarding the disciples of the * Palace, had completely disappeared.

Listening to Xuanxian's narration. The cultivators present had solemn faces, and their moods fluctuated with Xuanxian's narration.

None of the cultivators present had expected that so many things would happen in just three days on Huandao. More importantly, these changes happened right under the eyes of the monks of Kuxiu Valley, but Zuo Suo ignored them. It was obvious that these Zuo Suo were not only powerful, but also thoughtful and premeditated. They even knew the plan of the newcomer competition jointly formulated by the six holy places a long time ago.

Some people who were far-sighted thought more at this time. The content of the newcomer competition in the past was jointly formulated by the heads of the six holy places. Only a few people in the six holy places knew about it in advance. Even the heads and elders of other sects only learned about it when Xuan Jian announced it. Zuo Suo seemed to have known about it long ago. Could it be that the six holy places leaked it? Or. Zuo Suo himself is from the six holy places?

The disciples of various sects who participated in this newcomer competition were even more shocked after listening to Xuan Xian's story. They didn't expect that when they were competing with monks from other sects. There were so many turbulent waves on Huandao Island, but he and others were unaware of it.

After Xuanxian finished his story, some impatient cultivators asked, "Xuanxian Zun, who attacked the disciples of various sects?"

Xuanxian glanced at Jiuhuashan and others, then sighed slightly and nodded to the five disciples behind him.

After receiving Xuanxian's signal, Kaihuan from Yaowang Valley stood up first, pointed at Xu Qingfan with a look of hatred on his face, and said sternly: "It's Xu Qingfan, he led the other four people from Jiuhua Mountain to ask for me and my junior brothers. The hunted seven-colored deer attacked us after we disagreed.”

The four young cultivators from various sects behind him also nodded in agreement when Kai Huan testified, while gritting their teeth and glaring at Xu Qingfan and others.

As soon as he said this, the whole hall was shocked.

Especially everyone in the Jiuhua Sect, they didn't expect the result to be like this. They all looked at each other in shock, but didn't know how to react, or looked at Zhang Hualing, waiting for the leader to make a decision. Or staring at Xu Qingfan and others with angry expressions on their faces, waiting for them to explain.

Only Zhou Huahai, the Supreme Protector of the Jiuhua Sect, who was always grumpy, strangely said nothing today. At this time, he lowered his head and remained silent, seeming to be thinking about countermeasures.

As for the heads and elders of various sects whose disciples were killed or injured. At this time, he was glaring at Xu Qingfan and others angrily. If he hadn't been concerned about Xu Qingfan and others' status as disciples of the Holy Land, they would have been crushed to ashes long ago.

Li Tianying from the Imperial Palace finally spoke after a long silence, stared at Zhang Hualing and said coldly: "So, it is indeed your disciples who attacked the disciples of other sects? Then the person who killed two of my disciples before, Is he indeed a disciple of yours?"

Zhang Hualing did not answer Li Tianying's question immediately, but quietly observed the expressions of the people around him, including the protectors of Jiuhua Sect. Seems to want to see something. In the end, his eyes stayed on Xu Qingfan, as if he wanted to wait for him to explain.

After being framed one after another, Lu Qingshang was extremely angry. He didn't care about the many elders around him and shouted loudly to Kaihuan: "We didn't!! We were all meditating to restore our spiritual energy the night you attacked. How could we have time?" To attack you?"

Jin Qinghan could no longer maintain his usual indifference at this time, and said in a cold voice: "If it weren't for the sudden change, with the strength of the five of us, we could catch ten seven-color deer on the first day, why bother to snatch the ones from you? "A few?"

"Then you have proof that it wasn't you who did it?" Gong Qingya obviously hated the Jiuhuamen people. After seeing Lu Qingshang and Jin Qinghan's excuses, he asked first.

Xu Qingfan, who was under the gaze of many monks on the field, did not rush to defend himself at this time, because he knew that at this time, he needed to calm down more and more, and blind justification would not have any effect.

If it was just suspicion before, then there is no doubt about the current situation. Everything that happened on Huandao was a conspiracy against Jiuhuamen. Although the ultimate goal was unknown, Xu Qingfan felt that the Jiuhuamen criminals should be outraged. That's one of the purposes.

As long as it is a conspiracy, there must be loopholes. And whether the people in the game can find these loopholes. It is the key to the success of the conspiracy.

This is the conclusion Xu Qingfan came to after reading extensive history books.

In the Huandao mutation, Jiuhuamen is undoubtedly the one in the game. Whether or not the loopholes can be found is the key to breaking the game.

After carefully recalling what Xuanxian just said and what happened in the past three days, Xu Qingfan finally spoke and slowly said to the monks on the scene: "Junior is not talented, I would like to make three points for you seniors. refer to."

Undoubtedly, Xu Qingfan's calm words were more useful than the fierce defenses of Lu Qingshang and Jin Qinghan. So after hearing Xu Qingfan's words, all the eyes of the audience were fixed on Xu Qingfan.

And Zhang Hualing, who was already ready to speak. When he looked at Xu Qingfan, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that the eyes of all the monks on the field were focused on him, Xu Qingfan's expression remained unchanged and continued: "First, according to Xuanxian Zun, the time when the eight sect disciples were attacked. From the beginning to the end. The distance is only a short time of more than an hour at most. Let me ask you, elders, do you think the spiritual energy of the juniors and others is enough to support continuous fighting? Kill eight elite disciples in one hour?"

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, all the monks on the field were stunned, and there was a slight discussion. Some people who were thoughtful had thought about this issue before, and now looked at Xu Qingfan who looked calm, with expressions of admiration on their faces.

Xu Qingfan saw that his words caused a discussion among the monks, and many monks had doubts on their faces. They were slightly happy in their hearts, but they continued calmly: "Secondly, although Huandao is not big, it has nearly a thousand hectares. The night on Huandao is dark and dim. If we attack, how can we accurately know the location of the disciples of each sect? It would even take half an hour to rush to attack the disciples of each sect? ”

As Xu Qingfan made his second point, the monks on the field started talking louder. Many monks even had doubts in their eyes when they looked at the five young monks from various sects.

"I believe these five senior brothers will not tell lies. Maybe on the second night in Huandao, he really saw that we attacked them."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, the cultivators were slightly stunned. Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang were even more anxious. They didn't know why Xu Qingfan said that, but Xu Qingfan no longer cared about the cultivators' reactions. He just continued, "Please forgive me for being blunt. The highest skill of these five brothers is only at the initial stage of spiritual silence. Let's not talk about the dark and dark island at that time, and whether they used the Sky Eye Technique at that time. Even if it was daytime, and they used the Sky Eye Technique at that time. But if a cultivator in the late stage of spiritual silence used means to change his appearance into the appearance of the juniors, I think these five brothers would not be able to see it, right? This is the third point I want to say."

Speaking, Xu Qingfan looked at the five surviving disciples of various sects.

As Xu Qingfan finished the three points, even the five surviving cultivators were skeptical about the scene they had seen before. Especially Kai Huan, he had a very good first impression of Xu Qingfan, and his master also admired Xu Qingfan very much, so when he saw the look Xu Qingfan was looking at him, he couldn't help but nod his head in agreement.

As Xu Qingfan finished his point of view, the monks present finally couldn't suppress their doubts. The originally slight discussion on the field suddenly became louder.

From the three points raised by Xu Qingfan, Jiuhuamen is indeed impossible to attack disciples of various sects, and it is very likely to be framed. And as Jin Qinghan said, with the strength of the five people of Jiuhuamen, they can easily complete the task without robbing others.

However, many elders of Jiuhuamen looked at Xu Qingfan with admiration, and obviously appreciated Xu Qingfan's performance in escaping Jiuhuamen just now.

But strangely, although Xu Qingfan raised so many doubts. But those monks of Kuxiu Valley who surrounded the monks of Jiuhuamen remained motionless, and still surrounded Jiuhuamen and others, with a vigilant look.

Seeing the performance of these Kuxiu Valley monks, Xu Qingfan was slightly stunned. The ominous premonition in his heart just now not only did not disappear, but became stronger.

Could it be that things have changed? Or, is there any back-up plan?

When he thought of this, Xu Qingfan's originally relaxed expression became solemn again.

Because he suddenly realized that if it was really as he thought before. Then the layout that took so much energy to set up was too easy to crack, which was inconsistent with his secret means and powerful strength.

The face became solemn at the same time as Xu Qingfan, and the head of Jiuhuamen, Zhang Hualing.

Sure enough, things were not as simple as Xu Qingfan had thought before.

When Hua Xian saw that the monks on the field showed doubts on their faces after hearing Xu Qingfan's words, he sighed slightly and suddenly said: "According to my previous guess, I don't think it was done by Xu Daoyou and others. The view is just as Xu Daoyou said before."

Hearing Hua Xian's words. An elder from Jiuhua Mountain snorted coldly: "If that's the case, why did you surround us as soon as you got here? It's as if you were afraid that we would escape."

Xuan Ling, who had been silent before, suddenly sneered: "Because we found two more pieces of evidence."

"What is it?" Zhang Hualing was not dissatisfied with Xuan Ling's tone, but asked calmly.

Xuan Ling snorted coldly, waved his long sleeves, and two corpses suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Senior Brother Ma!!"

"Daoyou Xuan Ku!!"

"It's Ma Huaguang from Jiuhua Sect and Xuan Kuzun from Kuxiu Valley!!"

As soon as the two corpses appeared. It immediately caused an uproar. People who were familiar with the two corpses when they were alive exclaimed, and the monks from Jiuhua Sect and Kuxiu Valley were even more excited.

The elder of Jiuhua Sect who had just spoken asked, "What did you do to Senior Brother Ma? Senior Brother Ma has been in seclusion in the mountains for many years. He didn't come to Zhantai this time. He was fine before he left. How come he is dead now? Did you do it?"

As he said this, the elder was about to walk towards Xuanling to question him, but was stopped by two monks from Kuxiu Valley.

The monks from Kuxiu Valley who saw Xuanku's body for the first time looked sad, and gathered around Xuanku's body to investigate the cause of Xuanku's death.

However, Xu Qingfan's ominous premonition became stronger.

Xuanxian said slowly: "When the Seven Scenes Fantasy Killing Formation trapped fellow Taoist Xuanling and others, I and several other fellow Taoists found something unusual and rushed to rescue them. In the end, we worked together with fellow Taoist Xuanling and others to break the formation. After breaking the formation, the three people who controlled the formation wanted to escape, and we worked together to capture them. However, their strength was very strong, and in the end we only intercepted one person. But he was killed by mistake, and this person, after verification by us, was fellow Taoist Ma Huaguang from Jiuhua Sect."

Speaking of this, Xuanxian paused, and then said: "Although the three people who escaped have been hiding their true Taoist methods, the Taoist methods they used during the battle are almost all from various sects, but at the most critical moment, the Taoist methods they used were all from Jiuhua Sect."

Speaking of this, the meaning is already very clear. That is, the person who set up the formation to ambush the cultivators of Kuxiu Valley and even destroyed the teleportation formation on Huandao Island is the cultivator of Jiuhua Mountain! !

As Xuanxian finished speaking, the other sects' eyes were full of hostility when they looked at the Jiuhua Sect's monks.

Then, a look of grief flashed across Xuanxian's face, and he pointed at Xuanku's body and said, "And the body of Daoist Xuanku was found in a pile of blood when we were searching closely on Huan Island before."

Hearing Xuanxian's words, all the cultivators on the scene vaguely guessed something, and all looked at the cultivators of the Kuxiu Valley who were checking the cause of Xuanku's death.

And here, these Kuxiu Valley cultivators finally finished their investigation and stood up one after another, each with a solemn expression.

"The cause of Daoist Xuanku's death has been found out. Before his death, his blood vessels were reversed, his meridians burst, and his dantian was damaged. He should have been hit by some kind of Taoism, which made him unable to control the spiritual energy in his body, and finally he was killed by the impact of his own spiritual energy. If I'm not mistaken, these should be the symptoms of being hit by the unique Taoism of Jiuhua Mountain - Hualing Finger, right?" Xuan Jian slowly stood up, then stared at Jiuhua Sect Leader Zhang Hualing, and said slowly.

Zhang Hualing's face was extremely solemn at this time, but he did not answer immediately after hearing Xuan Jian's words. Instead, he slowly walked towards the bodies of Xuan Jian and Ma Huaguang.

Two monks from Kuxiu Valley were about to stop him, but were stopped by Xuan Jian.

When Zhang Hualing came to the two corpses, he first carefully examined Ma Huaguang's corpse, and his expression became more solemn after the examination.

Then, Zhang Hualing carefully examined Xuan Ku's corpse again.

Finally, under the gaze of all the monks on the field, Zhang Hualing slowly stood up and said expressionlessly: "This corpse is indeed the junior brother of Junior Brother Ma Huaguang. And that Xuan Ku Zun was indeed killed by Hua Lingzhi."

Hearing Zhang Hualing's personal admission, the monks on the field were in an uproar.

As for the monks of Jiuhuamen, their faces were full of horror. They knew that these things were not done by Jiuhua Mountain. At least they and others were not aware of it at all. But. Why did Ma Huaguang's corpse appear on Huandao Island?

And "Hualing Finger" is even more of Jiuhua Mountain's secret technique. Even among the masters of the "Hua" generation in Jiuhua Mountain, there are few such people. But how could Xuan Ku be killed by the "Hua Ling Finger"? Could it be that someone else has learned the unique skills of Jiuhua Mountain?

Some of them are even suspicious, wondering if someone in Jiuhua Sect is hiding their actions in private.

Some Jiuhua elders thought that Ma Huaguang had been in seclusion in Jiuhua Mountain before, and now his body appeared in Huandao, so could it be that something has changed on Huandao?

For a time, everyone had different thoughts and people were panicking.

And Xu Qingfan finally knew the intention of the layout at this time.

Framing Xu Qingfan and others for killing disciples from other sects was just a lead, so the layout was not very strict, and anyone with a slightly tight mind could solve it. And these layouts were obviously anticipated, and they used these flaws to lay a bigger situation.

The current situation is that it has been proven that the disciples of various sects were not killed by Xu Qingfan and others, but many elders of Jiuhua Sect participated in it, and even killed a cultivator in Kuxiu Valley. If the missing Xuan Xiu is included, there are two!

According to Xuanxian, at least four elders of Jiuhua Sect have been secretly operating on Huandao Island in the past three days.

If this is the case, then the three doubts raised by Xu Qingfan just now have become evidence.

With the cultivation of the elders of Jiuhua Mountain, they can naturally kill the disciples of eight sects within an hour. With their powerful spiritual sense, they can also clearly find the location of the disciples of the eight sects, and can even transform into the appearance of Jiuhua Mountain disciples without letting the disciples of the eight sects find them.

The meaning of the four elders of the sect taking action is completely different from that of the five elite disciples under the sect.

If it was Xu Qingfan and others who took action, it can also be explained that Xu Qingfan and others did whatever it took to win, and took action privately without the consent of the sect.

But what if it was four elders of the sect who took action?

In the entire Jiuhua Mountain, how many elders have reached the Jindan stage?

And how many people would believe that the four Jiuhua elders attacked at the same time and said that they attacked privately without the consent of the master?

In fact, in the world of immortal cultivation, an elder can negotiate with other sects on behalf of his own sect.

And the joint attack of the four elders can be regarded as the whole thing being planned by Jiuhua Mountain.

Looking at the eyes of the cultivators on the field looking at the Jiuhua cultivators at this time, there is no doubt that they think so.

The real intention of the layout is to make the major sects in the world of immortal cultivation think that all the changes on Huandao Island are planned by Jiuhua Mountain! ! So as to fundamentally make Jiuhua Mountain and the sects in the world of immortal cultivation enemies! !

Killed many elite disciples of major sects, and these disciples all pinned their hopes on the future of these sects; later, killed two highly respected monks in Kuxiu Valley; and also deliberately destroyed the newcomer competition that had lasted for tens of thousands of years in the cultivation world, which was tantamount to provoking the entire cultivation world.

These reasons were enough for the major sects to unite and encircle Jiuhua Mountain.

Unknowingly, Jiuhua Sect fell into such a dilemma.

But this time, Xu Qingfan could no longer find the flaws in the situation, after all, Xu Qingfan knew too few clues.

In desperation, Xu Qingfan looked at Zhang Hualing, hoping that this old fox in his mind would have a way.

But Xu Qingfan found that Zhang Hualing's expression was so tired at this time, and the afterglow of the sunset stretched his shadow long, just like a thin black rope tightly tied Jiuhua Sect, and could never break free.

Is this dilemma really unsolvable?
