The heavens begin from Pingyang City

Tongtian Peak.

Towering into the clouds and standing majestically, it is the location of the leader of the Qingyun Seven Peaks.

The white clouds here are misty, and there are faint bells echoing, as if it really leads directly to the blue sky.

唳

A bird chirped, and then, a golden roc several feet long flew over and landed on a huge square paved entirely with white marble.

After landing, Jiang Yao looked up and saw bright lights all over the ground. White clouds were lingering not far away, and the place seemed to be in a sea of ​​clouds.

At the end of the square, behind the hazy clouds, is a stone bridge rising across the sky.

The stone bridge has no seats or piers. One side connects to the white jade square, and one end goes straight into the sky, connecting to a magnificent palace.

The stone bridge is shrouded in clouds and mist, emitting colorful light in the sun, like a rainbow bridge that goes straight into the fairyland.

Looking at these familiar beautiful scenery in front of him, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes showed a hint of emotion. He had just seen them a few months ago, but now he felt as if he had been in a trance for many years.

With a thought, the golden roc returned to the mountain and river fan, and the figures of Jiang Yao and Zhang Xiaofan stepped on the square.

Tian Buyi and Suru were no longer there, and they should have entered the Yuqing Palace.

On the square, many disciples gathered at this time. When they saw the golden roc exuding powerful spiritual power, their eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Then, seeing Zhang Xiaofan's figure, there suddenly started to be a commotion again, and waves of whispers came from between them.

Apparently, the news that Zhang Xiaofan was practicing the Great Brahma Prajna of Tianyin Temple and holding evil objects from the Demon Cult had spread throughout the Qingyun Sect.

If it were Zhang Xiaofan in the past, he would probably be very uncomfortable facing this scene.

But now, he didn't take it to heart at all. He looked at the fairyland-like scene around him with emotion on his face, as if he remembered some things from the past.

At this time, a figure walked towards the two of them.

Zhang Xiaofan scanned it gently and found that it was Chang Jian, a disciple of Tongtian Peak.

Chang Jian walked up to the two of them, glanced at Zhang Xiaofan first, then saluted Jiang Yao and said, "I have met Senior Jiang, and the leader asked me to lead you two directly to the Yuqing Palace."

Obviously, Tian Buyi had already told the people at Tongtian Peak about Jiang Yao's identity.

"sorry to bother you."

Jiang Yao nodded and said, at this time Song Daren's figure also arrived.

Chang Jian greeted him, and then said: "You three, please follow me."

After saying that, he led Jiang Yao and the others across the square, across the stone bridge, and arrived in front of the Yuqing Hall.

Along the way, Jiang Yao and Zhang Xiaofan looked calm and looked at the beautiful scenery around them with interest, while Song Daren appeared a little nervous.

Sensing the calm look on Zhang Xiaofan's face, Chang Jian showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Unexpectedly, in the face of the upcoming interrogation, Junior Brother Zhang did not show any worry or uneasiness, and his character was so strong. This was not consistent with the rumors!

And for some reason, when he saw the other person this time, he always felt that some unspeakable changes had occurred in the other person.

Stepping into the Yuqing Hall, what caught Jiang Yao's attention most were the three statues of gods enshrined in the deepest part of the hall:

Yuanshi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun.

The three deities have a solemn demeanor, which makes people subconsciously show awe.

Even Jiang Yao subconsciously lowered his head slightly when facing the three statues to show respect.

After all, there are really three big men in this world, and Jiang Yao has been inherited by one of them.

Then, Jiang Yao turned his attention to the main hall.

Sitting on the main seat in the middle of the hall is an old man with an immortal demeanor, who is probably the headmaster of the Qingyun Sect, Daoxuan Zhenren.

There was a small table beside him, and on the table was a short black stick, which was Zhang Xiaofan's magic weapon, the fire stick.

On the row of seats to Daoxuan's right hand, sat the leaders and elders of each lineage of Qingyun Sect, and behind them stood the direct disciples of each lineage, including Qi Hao, Lu Xueqi and others.

Seeing Jiang Yao's figure, Qi Hao and others were obviously stunned.

On the left side of Daoxuan's row are people from various righteous sects. They include kind-hearted monks, gloomy old men, and some other people. They are all righteous people who came here to witness.

After Chang Jian arrived at the main hall, he stepped forward and bowed: "Master, Senior Jiang and Junior Brother Zhang have arrived."

Seeing Jiang Yao's figure, Dao Xuan stood up and said with a smile: "I have met fellow Taoist Jiang. Fellow Taoist killed the old vampire demon from the demon sect. It really increased the prestige of my righteous way and made me very happy!"

He had heard from his disciples that this mysterious cultivator who killed the old vampire demon used a pure Taoist magical power and was obviously a Taoist master, so he subconsciously had a favorable impression of him.

"Master Daoxuan is overly praised."

Jiang Yao clasped his fists and said, "Jiang is just a fluke, not worth mentioning."

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Jiang is too humble."

Daoxuan smiled, then pointed to a seat on the left and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, please sit down."

Obviously, that was the position reserved for Jiang Yao, and he, like other members of the righteous sect, became a witness.

Jiang Yao did not refuse, nodded to Zhang Xiaofan, and sat down in his seat.

Many people from the righteous sect around him were in a commotion when they saw Jiang Yao's figure. Obviously, everyone was curious about this master of casual cultivation who could kill the old vampire demon.

Jiang Yao didn't pay attention to everyone's gaze. After he sat down, he looked at Zhang Xiaofan in the field, wondering how Zhang Xiaofan would make the situation go!

After stepping into the Yuqing Hall, Zhang Xiaofan showed no signs of nervousness in the face of everyone's gaze. He looked at the people above him casually with a faint smile on his face.

When he saw the kind-hearted old monk on the left, his eyes froze slightly, and then he looked at the others.

Master Daoxuan sat on the main seat and looked at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar young man below in surprise.

Seeing him standing there alone under the eyes of many righteous experts, he did not show the slightest trace of nervousness or fear. Instead, he looked at everyone with a smile, showing a confident and calm aura.

Moreover, the Qi in him is also extremely profound, probably not inferior to that of the elders.

Is this really the orphan from Caomiao Village back then, the mediocre Zhang Xiaofan?

The last time I saw him, he looked like a timid young man. Why had his temperament changed so much today? And his cultivation level also skyrocketed?

Could it be that he is really an undercover agent sent by Tianyin Temple? Were they all disguises before?

Not only Daoxuan, but many people who were familiar with Zhang Xiaofan in the palace also showed surprised expressions.

They also discovered the huge changes that had taken place in Zhang Xiaofan, as if he had become a completely different person.

"Zhang Xiaofan!"

Master Daoxuan frowned slightly and called out slowly.

Zhang Xiaofan cupped his hands, gave a slight salute, and said in a calm tone: "I have met the master, the disciple is here."

Seeing this scene, Master Daoxuan became more and more suspicious, but he still temporarily restrained his distracting thoughts, pointed at the people on his left, and introduced: "These seniors are all experts from various sects of my righteous way, and they are all dedicated to serving the people." I’m here to talk about your business. This is Puhong, the abbot of Tianyin Temple. The person next to him is "

After hearing Master Daoxuan's words, Zhang Xiaofan looked directly at Pu Hong, with inexplicable emotions surging in his eyes. As for other people's introductions, he didn't listen at all.

Pu Hong was an old monk wearing a red monk robe with gold trimmings, white eyebrows as white as snow, and a kind face. He noticed Zhang Xiaofan's gaze and gave him a kind smile.

Behind him stood the Dharma minister who Zhang Xiaofan knew and who had always taken good care of him. He stood respectfully behind Pu Hong, looking at Zhang Xiaofan with a hint of worry and guilt.

The two of them showed no ill intentions toward Zhang Xiaofan because he had secretly learned the Zhen Sect's Dharma from their own sect, unlike other monks from Tianyin Temple.

After noticing this scene, Zhang Xiaofan became more and more sure of his suspicions and sighed slightly, feeling a little complicated.

Master Daoxuan noticed this scene, and his mood became even worse. After introducing all the righteous people, he said directly: "Zhang Xiaofan, I have something to ask you, and you must tell the truth."

"Yes, the real leader."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded.

Master Daoxuan said slowly: "This time on the bank of the East China Sea, fellow Taoist Pukong of Tianyin Temple pointed out that you used Tianyin Temple's great Dharma, Brahma Prajna. Is this true?"

After Daoxuan finished speaking, the entire Yuqing Palace fell silent. Everyone stared closely at Zhang Xiaofan, some curious, some worried, and some surprised.

The atmosphere at the scene became a little heavy.

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhang Xiaofan said calmly: "Yes!"

His tone was calm, as if he was talking about a small matter.

But the hall became an uproar because of his "yes" word.

Among the people in Tianyin Temple, except for Puhong and Faxiang, everyone looked at Zhang Xiaofan with indignation.

The rest of the righteous people also looked at this young man with extraordinary bearing and calm demeanor in surprise.

However, many fellow disciples who knew Zhang Xiaofan looked at his calm and calm expression, but they showed expressions of astonishment, as if they were meeting this junior brother Zhang for the first time.

In the crowd, Lu Xueqi looked at the thin but impressive young man with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Master Daoxuan raised his hand slightly, and the scene suddenly became quiet. He glanced at Pu Hong and found that the other party had no intention of speaking. He snorted in his heart, confirming his inner guess.

Then, Daoxuan pointed to the fire stick on the table and said slowly: "Besides this matter, the people from the Demon Cult said that the beads on your magic weapon are the evil spirits of the black-hearted old man eight hundred years ago. Is this true about the bloodthirsty bead?"

"yes."

Zhang Xiaofan said softly, his voice still so calm.

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan's indifferent expression, Master Daoxuan frowned slightly and said coldly: "As a disciple of Qingyun, don't you have anything to explain?"

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan slowly raised his head, but he did not look at Master Daoxuan, but at the direction of Tianyin Temple and the divine monk Puhong.
