Taiping Inn

Soon after Luo Ruqi and others left, another person came out from the dark. It was Qing Hui Ji, the confidant of the palace official.

Qing Hui Ji did not come here because of the palace official. She came to Xiaozhou on the orders of the clan leader, Madam Leng. After seeing the secret code left by the palace official, she sent a letter to the palace official. The whereabouts of Luo Ruqi and others were also revealed to the palace official by Qing Hui Ji.

Facing this confidant, the palace official restrained the smile on his face that he didn't know if it was true or false. He sighed and asked, "What's the situation in the sect now?"

Qinghui Ji was once Madam Leng's maid. She also watched Gongguan grow up and always regarded Gongguan as her half-daughter. Seeing her tired appearance at this time, she couldn't help but say, "Miss, why do you have to force yourself so much? No matter how great your achievements are, they are not as important as yourself."

The palace official shook his head: "Let's not talk about these, let's talk about business."

Qinghui Ji sighed lightly: "The situation in the sect is not bad. After all, the situation in Xijing is not clear yet, and Madam has not deposed Miss's position as Xuansheng Ji. Guangmiao Ji and others dare not do anything."

The palace official said: "Tell other sisters not to contradict and disobey the sect master in public. Everything should be based on saving themselves. It's nothing to suffer some humiliation now. After this matter is over, it will be returned."

Qinghui Ji nodded in agreement.

The palace official sighed: "As for the matter of Xijing, it is a major event related to the situation of the entire martial arts world. No one can stay out of it. Now that the people of the righteous path have participated in it, as the confidant of the Holy Lord, can I still stay out of it?"

Qinghui Ji also sighed helplessly: "I know. According to Madam's wishes, I will rush to Yunmengze overnight. Please take care of yourself, Miss."

The palace official looked at her deeply: "You too."

Qinghui Ji bowed to the palace official and retreated.

On the other side, Li Xuandu began to track the whereabouts of Madam Leng. Although he lost the "Human World", Madam Leng was also injured by Yan Feiqing's "Thunder Curse" in the previous battle. If they really fight, the two are equal. Moreover, Li Xuandu's stabbing of Madam Leng is also very critical. The "anti-heavenly tribulation" sword energy on the "Human World" is not so easy to resolve. It is even more domineering than the "Ghost Curse". This is also where Li Xuandu's confidence lies.

According to the induction between himself and the "human world", Li Xuandu found that after leaving Taoyuan County, Madam Leng went to Yunmengze. You should know that Xuannv Mountain, a subordinate of Xuannv Sect, is in Yunmengze. Could it be that Madam Leng wanted to play a trick? Moreover, at this time, Xiao Shiyu, Yan Feiqing, and Su Yun'an had already set off for Xuannv Mountain. Although Yan Feiqing could not ride the wind, he had the treasure "Lunbo Boat" and his speed would not be too slow.

If Madam Leng wanted to make a move in Xuannv Mountain at this time, she would inevitably fall into the situation of closing the door and beating the dog, which made Li Xuandu more and more confused. But there was no other way. Li Xuandu could only leave Taoyuan County and follow Madam Leng to Yunmengze.

Yunmeng Lake is not as vast as the sea, but compared to the insignificance of human beings, it is also like the sea. Li Xuandu could not fly through the air, nor did he have any similar treasures. Fortunately, he grew up in the East China Sea, and was not only very good at swimming, but he could also walk on the waves, but his speed was slightly slower.

Li Xuandu began to walk on the water, which naturally consumed more energy than running on land, so he also tried to even out his Qi while moving forward, trying to achieve a "balance of income and expenditure" and not to spend too much Qi on the matter of rushing. If he caused a deficiency of Qi in his body because of rushing, and happened to meet Madam Leng, he would be courting death.

At this time, the lake was dark, and there was no fishing fire. Fortunately, there were no clouds tonight and the moonlight was bright. After Li Xuandu walked on the water for more than an hour, the outline of an island appeared in his sight, but this island was not where Xuannu Mountain was, because Xuannu Mountain would never be like this island, without any lights. It was almost a routine for large sects to set up long-burning lights at their own mountain gates, which meant to show majesty and was also called night lights.

Li Xuandu boarded the island, closed his eyes and felt for a moment. Through the "human world", he confirmed that Madam Leng was on this island. Unfortunately, he was not familiar with the terrain of Yunmengze and could not determine how far this place was from Xuannu Mountain. It was not easy to guess the purpose of Madam Leng coming here.

Li Xuandu thought about it, took off his outer robe, wrapped it on a stone, threw it into the lake, and then took out a black dress from the "Eighteenth Floor" and put it on. Finally, he used the "dispersion method" to restrain his breath and began to sneak into the island.

This unknown island seemed to be uninhabited, mostly dense jungles, and there were no roads in the forest. It can be seen that the female sect spent a lot of thought to choose this place. Li Xuandu walked in the forest without making any sound. After walking for an incense stick of time, he found a secret sentry. Li Xuandu did not act rashly, but quietly went around. After walking more than a hundred feet away, Li Xuandu saw a clearing in the forest with a bonfire in the moonlight. Madam Leng was here.

At this time, Madam Leng had changed out of the clothes used to conceal her identity and put on a dark black robe that symbolized the identity of the leader of a sect. She sat on the ground with her clothes spread out, like a blooming black lotus, extremely stunning.

Around Madam Leng, there were many women standing, also wearing black clothes and black skirts. They had different realms and cultivation levels, but in terms of appearance, they were all beauties, some plump and some thin, each with their own merits.

A woman handed Madam Leng a glass cup. Madam Leng took it casually and opened the lid. The bloody smell was pungent. At first glance, the liquid in it seemed to be the popular Western wine, as red as blood, but at another glance, it was not the case at all.

Madam Leng took a sip, and her bloodless lips regained color, and her pale face also improved a lot. Then she said: "It is beyond my expectation that Yan Feiqing and others appear here. It seems that we have to act in advance. Have our people arrived?"

A woman who looked like a noble lady replied: "Reporting to the sect master, half of the sisters have not arrived yet. Although we left people to meet them in Taoyuan County, it will take at least noon tomorrow to arrive."

Madam Leng handed the glass cup in her hand to the woman standing next to her, frowned and said: "I can't wait that long. Where are the people from the Yin Yang Sect? Have they arrived?"

As soon as the voice fell, a warm voice came from the position diagonally opposite Li Xuandu: "Wei Zhen greets Madam."

As soon as the voice fell, a man carrying a bookcase walked out of the dark and bowed to Madam Leng. This man was Wei Zhen, a famous official of the Yin Yang Sect who had played chess with Li Xuandu and taught Li Taiyi the "Thirteen Swords of Taiyin".

Because Madam Leng is the Taoist partner of the geomancer Xu Wugui, they are not husband and wife but more like husband and wife, so the Yin Yang Sect respects Madam Leng as the mistress and calls her "Madam", while many of Madam Leng's disciples, such as the palace officials, call the geomancer "Master".

Madam Leng asked: "Is Wei Mingguan the only one coming?"

Wei Zhen replied: "There are a few more people who will arrive before dawn, please rest assured, Madam."

Madam Leng's expression eased slightly, and she waved her sleeves lightly: "Okay, with your help, this plan will have an 80% chance of success. When my junior sister regains her freedom, she will definitely be able to help Wei Yi."

The word "ghost" and the word "fear" are cognate words. Wugui means fearless, and the word "no" can also be replaced by the word "go", "abandon", and "have", such as abandoning Ji, going to disease, and being sick, so Xu Wugui's courtesy name is "Wei Yi". However, few people know this courtesy name, and even if someone knows it, they dare not call it. Only Madam Leng has this qualification.

Although Li Xuandu didn't know the details, he could guess roughly in this context that the "Wei Yi" mentioned by Madam Leng should be the geomancer Xu Wugui, but he didn't know the junior sister mentioned by Madam Leng at all.

Wei Zhen said: "The geomancer once specifically told us that Madam's affairs are extremely important and should not be taken lightly. We should do our best. Madam, please just ask."

Madam Leng had a little smile on her face: "I only mentioned it to him once. It's rare that he still cares about this matter. I'll trouble Wei Mingguan."

Wei Zhen still said respectfully: "I dare not thank you for your help."

Madam Leng slowly stood up, took the glass cup again, and drank the bright red liquid in it. She immediately became radiant, and then threw the glass cup to the ground: "Success or failure, all depends on this!"
