Taiping Inn

The entire Dongshan Village shook violently, accompanied by a loud noise. A circle of visible Qi ripples spread out in all directions. Countless cracks appeared on the walls of the surrounding houses, and they were shaky. Some houses even twisted into a strange arc, as if they would collapse at any time.

Where this figure landed, there appeared a half-person-deep pit, about ten feet wide, and the zombie that was the first to be hit was stepped on the top of the head. Although the head was fine, the neck and cervical vertebrae under the head were broken inch by inch, making the whole head present a strange arc, as if it was hanging on the chest.

The person who came was Li Xuandu. At this time, Li Xuandu reversed the "Zuowang Zen Gong", which was equivalent to self-sealing "Leaking Passage", so that his body could not recover from injuries at will, and used this to force the Qi in the acupoints back to the Dantian meridians, so that he had enough Qi to fight heartily. At the beginning, Li Xuandu, who was only in the Baodan realm, used this method to beat Qian Xing, a warrior in the Xuanyuan realm, into a bloody mist. Therefore, the weight of this kick was so heavy that even if this zombie was made from the corpse of a warrior in the Xiantian realm, it could not be unscathed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Feiqing turned the palms of both hands upward, bent the fingers of his left hand, hooked the index finger and little finger of his left hand with the index finger of his right hand, and extended the middle finger of his right hand from between the middle finger and ring finger of his left hand. The thumb of his left hand pressed the little finger of his right hand, and the thumb of his right hand pressed against the ring finger, forming the "Thunder Ancestor Seal".

I saw that there were real lightning flashes gushing out of the heart of the zombie, like thorns, spreading rapidly to every part of his body, and then tearing his skin and "strangling" into his flesh. Although the zombie was not completely dead, it was tied up by these lightning thorns and could not move.

Li Xuandu stepped forward to look at the zombie, and suddenly his eyes condensed. He reached out and took a token made of black iron from the zombie. The front was engraved with the three words "Luo Yixiao" and the back was a big "dragon".

Li Xuandu had seen this token style before. When they went to Ping'an County, they happened to encounter Sun Hu intercepting and killing the escort of Wancheng Escort Agency. After repelling Sun Hu, Hu Liang searched for a similar token from the escort's body.

Li Xuandu held the token and said, "If I remember correctly, Luo Yixiao should be the chief escort of Wancheng Escort Agency in Shuiyang Prefecture, Jingzhou. He had disappeared before Wancheng Escort Agency was wiped out. I didn't expect that he had died early and his body fell into the hands of Zaoge Sect."

Yan Feiqing asked, "Could the Wancheng Escort Agency's annihilation be related to Zaoge Sect?"

Li Xuandu hummed, but he didn't know what to say. He didn't want to tell the truth, but then he thought that a gentleman should be open and honest, and there was nothing to hide, so he told the truth, "It was done by a palace official of the Female Sect. I have met her once."

Yan Feiqing was not surprised, but said, "It turned out to be her. The Female Sect and Zaoge Sect are good friends, so it is reasonable for them to have some intersections with each other."

The reason why Yan Feiqing said this was related to a secret in the martial arts world.

For the entire martial arts world, even the leader of a sect, it is difficult to know which immortals and masters are on the Old Xuan List. Only those who are on the list can know, so others can only rely on many guesses to infer who is on the list and is still on the list. Over the years, only four people can be truly confirmed without a doubt, and the rest are all in doubt. For example, the old abbot of Jingchan Sect was inferred by the palace officials that he was on the list and then failed.

The people on the list of the righteous path are naturally the old sword god of Qingwei Sect and the old heavenly master of Zhengyi Sect. There are also two people from the twelve evil sects, namely "Saint Lord" Tan Taiyun and the leader of Yinyang Sect Xu Wugui.

At that time, the "holy king" Tan Taiyun had not yet set foot in the realm of immortality. The reason why he was able to capture Xijing and proclaim himself "King of the West" was because Xu Wugui personally took action and used the "ghost curse" to plot against the governor of Qinzhong, Qi Ying, causing his body to decay. At that time, Qi Ying was an important minister who supported half of the Wei Dynasty. He had countless masters under his command, but no one could break Xu Wugui's curse. At that time, there were also many masters who tried to get rid of Xu Wugui to break the "ghost curse", but they were vulnerable in front of Xu Wugui, like chickens and pottery dogs, and finally Qi Ying died, and Xijing City was easily conquered.

Later, Xu Wugui had another fight with the old Tianshi who was the head of the Zhengyi Sect at that time, and the result was a draw. Since then, Xu Wugui, who had been unknown before, has completely become famous and is known as the first master of the evil way. After the disappearance of "Demon Blade" Song Zheng, Tan Taiyun, who was born in Wudao Sect, was supported by Xu Wugui to become the "Saint Lord". Tan Taiyun also treated Xu Wugui as a teacher. Xu Wugui's status in Northwest Zhou Dynasty was that of a combination of the two identities of the Emperor's Master and the State Master.

Because of this, Yinyang Sect also took the opportunity to expand. Zaoge Sect, which was almost destroyed, was supported by Yinyang Sect and gradually recovered. However, the actual power of Zaoge Sect also fell into the hands of Xu Wugui. The combined power of the two sects was stronger than that of the Female Sect, and could even compete with Wudao Sect. Therefore, the Female Sect had to give in to Xu Wugui. In the third year of Tianbao, under the witness of "Saint Lord" Tan Taiyun, the leader of the Female Sect and Xu Wugui became a Taoist couple, just like husband and wife.

Regardless of whether the Female Sect, which caused the death of countless talented people, had other intentions in this action, on the surface, the Female Sect was closely related to the Zaoge and Yinyang Sects, and it was reasonable for them to share what they had with each other.

These secrets are not known by ordinary people in the martial arts world, and they will not even spread to the martial arts world. The rumors that the martial arts world knows on weekdays must be spread by someone who wants them to know these rumors. As for these secrets that do not want to be known by others, only people like Yan Feiqing can know a little from the secret channels of their own sect.

Li Xuandu naturally knew about it. During the years when he returned to the master's sect to recuperate, his master did not restrict him. Instead, he opened up all kinds of permissions of the sect to him. All the news that the sect master could know would also be sent to him in backup. This is also the reason why Li Xuandu still knows many important events in the martial arts world after living in seclusion for several years.

Li Xuandu sighed lightly, "Compared to the scattered five sects in Liaodong, it is obvious that the five sects in the northwest are more united and have greater ambitions. Along the way, before reaching the northwest, I have already seen people from the Wudao Sect and the Female Sect. The Wudao Sect is just an elder in the Xiantian Realm, while the Female Sect is already a palace official of Xuansheng Ji. I just don't know which expert will come to the Zaoge Sect this time?"

As soon as Li Xuandu finished speaking, a bell sounded. His heart moved, and he looked in the direction of the sound. He immediately saw a figure slowly walking out of the shadows shrouded in the depths of the town. The person came in a dark blue Taoist robe, a Five Mountains crown on his head, and a Taoist dress. There was a small bag hanging on his waist and a small bell in his hand, and the bell sound came from there.

The Taoist glanced at the two of them and said coldly: "You are the ones who broke the formation of Jingzi Town? You are quite capable, but you should never dare to chase here!"

Yan Feiqing looked at the Taoist and frowned: "With your cultivation in the Xiantian realm, you can't do such a thing."

The Taoist laughed and pointed at Yan Feiqing and said: "You have some knowledge. This formation was not set up by me, but by my ancestor. If you know what's good for you, retreat quickly, otherwise I will teach you the methods of my ancestor!"

Li Xuandu was helpless against the Taoist's threatening words Moved by indifference, he said calmly: "Since when have the people of Zaoge Sect become so easy to talk to? We smashed your zombies, so shouldn't you refine us into zombies to pay for our lives?"

The Taoist's face changed, and then he showed a ferocious look, "You don't take the road to heaven, and you come to hell without a door. Well, let me take you in, so that you can see the power of this formation, so that you won't disturb the peace of the ancestor!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Xuandu had already made a move. He saw a green light flashing in his sleeves, and the "Green Dragon" swept out and pierced the Taoist's eyebrows.

With his current state of reverse "Zuowang Zen Gong", let alone a Taoist in the Xiantian realm, even a Xiantian realm warrior with copper skin and iron bones would not dare to take his sword.
