Taiping Inn

Yan Feiqing smiled, patted his shoulder, and said with a faint smile: "Don't be so nervous."

The black ashes on the Taoist surnamed Su fell down, but they were the ashes after his Taoist robe was destroyed. His injuries were not serious. From this, it can be seen how profound Yan Feiqing's control of magic is.

Yan Feiqing said softly: "Although I am not a great celestial master, nor the leader of the twelve sects of the righteous path, I am still the head of the righteous path, and I have the title of 'Fei Yuan Zhenren' conferred by the court. I am afraid that I cannot kill you, but it should not be difficult to destroy your cultivation."

Nowadays, when people see a successful and true person in the cultivation of Taoism, they will respectfully call him "Zhenren". However, these so-called "Zhenren" are like the powerful generals who have ruled a certain area in the past dynasties. Although they call themselves "King So-and-so", they are actually not recognized by the court and are not legitimate. The same is true for these mountain Zhenren. There are only a handful of Zhenren who are truly conferred by the court, and all of them are people of high status. For them, the title of Zhenren is icing on the cake, not a timely help.

According to convention, there are only a handful of Taoists who can be granted the title of Zhenren by the imperial court. Only when someone ascends to heaven or "passes away" will he be replaced by someone later. These five people are: the contemporary Grand Heavenly Master, the head of the Zhengyi Sect, the head of the Miaozhen Sect, the leader of the Donghua Sect, and the leader of the Shenxiao Sect. If the Grand Heavenly Master and the head of the Zhengyi Sect are the same person, then another person of high moral character will be nominated, or the title will be left vacant. Among the five Zhenren who were conferred titles, there are four-character and two-character titles according to their different status. Take the Shenxiao Sect for example, the leader of the Zhongxing Sect was conferred the title of "Tongwei Xianhua Zhenren", and the founders of various sects who ascended to heaven and attained enlightenment were conferred the title of Zhenjun. Taking the Shenxiao Sect as an example, its founder was conferred the title of "Qingxu Yuanmiao Zhenjun".

Now Yan Feiqing has been enthroned as the head of the Zhengyi Sect, and his title is "Feiyuan Zhenren", while the title of the old Tianshi is "Yuanyang Miaoyi Zhenren", which is higher than Yan Feiqing's two-character Zhenren title, second only to the Zhenjun of all generations.

Looking at the entire Taoist sect, there are only five Zhenren. Not to mention how respected the identities of these five Zhenren themselves are, just a genuine "Zhenren" title can remove the certificate of any Taoist from the court. In addition, Zhengyi Sect is the leader of the twelve sects of the Zhengdao Sect. If Yan Feiqing really wants to abolish this person's cultivation, he can only apologize to Shenxiao Sect afterwards.

The Taoist surnamed Su did not dare to say more, and bowed his head and said: "I hope that Sect Leader Yan will raise your hand."

Yan Feiqing smiled lightly and said: "I will personally write a letter to the Sect Master of Shenxiao Sect, telling him everything about today, and ask him to make the decision."

The Taoist surnamed Su was like a bereaved mother.

Although this is the best result at the moment, better than being directly abolished by Yan Feiqing, his ending will not be too good, at least he will not be able to keep the position of elder.

Yan Feiqing waved his sleeves, "Go."

The Taoist surnamed Su bowed respectfully to Yan Feiqing, turned around and walked out with a group of disciples.

They came in a mighty force, and left like a dog that had lost its home.

The world of Jianghu is unpredictable, you never know what you will face next, whether you will rise to the sky or fall into the abyss.

After the Taoist surnamed Su left, Song Muzhe knelt down in front of Yan Feiqing and bowed to the ground, "I thank Master Yan for justice."

Yan Feiqing glanced at him, and the smile on his face gradually faded, but he was not as gentle as when facing Li Xuandu, and said in a calm tone: "Master Song, there is no need to be so polite."

Song Muzhe did not stand up, and said sincerely: "If it were not for Master Yan's action today, I would not only fail to protect the family business of Fenglei Sect, but also my life. Master Yan's great kindness is like re-creating a parent, and he deserves this kneeling from me."

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Yan Feiqing with sincere eyes: "I have heard of Master Yan's great name a long time ago. He punishes evil and eliminates evil, and kills demons and evil. He is a first-class hero in the righteous way. If Master Yan does not abandon..."

The remaining smile on Yan Feiqing's face finally disappeared completely, and even had a cold and solemn meaning. Before he became the head of the Zhengyi Sect, he was completely overshadowed by Zhang Luanshan for a long time. At that time, he was not as glorious as he is today. He had experienced the fickleness of the world, so he hated people who changed their minds and flattered the powerful and trampled on the weak. Seeing that Song Muzhe was trying to please him but never mentioned Li Xuandu and others who risked their lives to help him, he hated him in his heart and interrupted him with a cold tone, saying, "Master Song, I don't need you to flatter me."

This was already very explicit, and even the disgust was beyond words. It was like a slap in the face. Song Muzhe was stunned and could no longer say the words that were on his lips.

Yan Feiqing still had a cold look in his eyes and glanced at him, "Master Song, you are too impatient."

Song Muzhe looked at Yan Feiqing, "Yan, Master Yan, why do you say that?"

Yan Feiqing stopped looking at him and said coldly, "The martial arts world values ​​human relationships, but I don't like such human relationships. There are many people who saved you and helped you. Why do you only thank me? Do you have other thoughts? You know it yourself."

Song Muzhe, who really wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Yan Feiqing, was speechless.

Yan Feiqing continued, "The martial arts world values ​​opportunity, but if Brother Zifu was not here, I would not appear here, let alone save you, so I am not your opportunity. In other words, if Brother Zifu had not risked his life to save you, could you live until I appeared here?"

At this time, Li Xuandu had already taken the "Purple Yang Pill", which was indeed the secret medicine of the Zhengyi Sect. It allowed Li Xuandu to replenish his qi in a very short time, and then he walked out of the restriction set by Yan Feiqing and stood quietly not far away.

Song Muzhe trembled all over, and looked at Li Xuandu belatedly.

Li Xuandu didn't care, and his expression was still calm and gentle, but Shen Shuangmei and Hu Liang standing on his left and right looked unhappy, and even the little girl stared at him.

Song Muzhe suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake. He ignored Mr. Li too much and worshipped the wrong god and burned the wrong incense. Now it's too late to make up for it.

Li Xuandu raised his palm and pressed it down, saying: "Master Song, don't worry."

Song Muzhe breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Xuandu's next words made his face suddenly pale again.

"The reason why I came to Fenglei Sect and helped Sect Master Song has nothing to do with Sect Master Song. No matter who Sect Master Song is or what he did, I don't mind, because I did all these because of Brother Song."

Li Xuandu's words undoubtedly completely cut off the relationship between the two. From then on, there was no grudge or friendship.

Song Muzhe's face was no longer bloody.

Li Xuandu stopped looking at him and looked at Yan Feiqing, saying: "Master Yan, you must have other things here, right? Please move."

Yan Feiqing asked: "In Brother Zifu's opinion, where is better?"

Li Xuandu said: "I have booked a yard in the inn in the city. It is quite quiet. Why don't we talk there?"

Yan Feiqing said "OK" and didn't ask the specific location of the inn. He just calculated silently with his fingers, then reached out and held Li Xuandu's wrist, and said softly: "Let's go."

The two disappeared in an instant.

In a small courtyard of an inn several streets away from Fenglei Sect, the two sat facing each other.

Yan Feiqing said: "Shrinking the earth by nine hundred feet is already my limit."

Li Xuandu closed his eyes and remained silent. When the dizziness subsided a little, he opened his eyes and said: "Nine hundred feet is already a great distance. The Heavenly Man Free and Easy Realm can only shrink the earth by a thousand feet. However, for me now, it is still a bit difficult to move nine hundred feet in an instant."

Yan Feiqing apologized: "I was not thoughtful enough."

Li Xuandu shook his head and said: "Master Yan, don't worry about such trivial matters. Let's talk about business."

Yan Feiqing nodded and said: "Before talking about business, I have to say something off topic. I hope Brother Zifu won't mind."

Li Xuandu asked: "Is it about Song Muzhe?"

Yan Feiqing clapped his hands and smiled: "I said Brother Zifu was thoughtful before, but now I still underestimated Brother Zifu. Brother Zifu's meticulous mind is admired by me."

Li Xuandu shook his head and said: "Master Yan is too flattering. Please speak."
