The Lord who use immortals as food

"."

At this moment, there was suddenly another sound of plundering outside the forest, and it was extremely fast and heavy. Just as Pei Ye pressed his sword and turned his head, the figure appeared, and it was Sui Zaihua.

"As soon as I come out, I will inform Mr. Sui first." Wudong told the young man, then turned around and said, "It's a pity that I didn't catch up."

Sui Zaihua looked around: "What's going on?"

"Jianbelly Mountain is blocked." Wudong briefly stated, "There are only a few of us outside now. We just repelled [Dasi Mountain], but as we said before, there are still three senior executives in Huanshi Tower— —The actor, the shadow and [Cao].”

"Xiao Tingshu has been confirmed."

"Um?"

Sui Zaihua took out a scene: "It was found in Yuanwu Peak, 'Cao' noodles. There are still many things that can be searched, but Hejian seems to be more urgent here."

Wudong frowned and took it, and Pei Ye also tilted his head to look at it. It was indeed the smooth and bright color unique to the Huansilou scene, and there were obvious traces of wearing it.

"Xiao Tingshu actually joined the Huansi Tower." Pei Ye frowned.

"So it is more in line with our inference." Wudong flipped the scene twice, "Xiao Tingshu did not contact Huansilou as a representative of Kongtong, but someone with a higher status made this decision. Then, Just as he allowed Huansi Tower to invade Kongtong, the dramatist also handed over a high position in Huansheng Tower to Xiao Tingshu - this is the cornerstone of cooperation. "

Sui Zaihua looked at Wudong: "Dasi Mountain?"

Wudong raised the corners of his lips: "We were just talking - there is no way this Da Si Shan will betray Kongtong."

"." Pei Ye glanced at the old man, but he had not yet given a reason.

But Sui Zaihua easily accepted this conclusion. He gently stroked the hilt of his sword: "Then there are only two people with a higher status than Xiao Tingshu in Kongtong."

"You remember that on our way here, we looked up the past events of our generation." Wudong leaned against the tree behind him. The arrival of Liuli and Sui Zaihua made him relax, "Ji Changyun and Xiao Tingshu are very unfamiliar, they are almost senior brothers. I single-handedly brought up this closed disciple."

"The sword-sensing method of Jianfu Mountain is also what Bai Tianqu is interested in." Wudong tapped the scabbard with his fingers, "If this senior brother entrusts him, it is not surprising that Xiao Tingshu will do his best."

"I have verified something here." As the sky dawned in the east, Sui Zaihua looked at Pei Ye, took a medicine and handed it to him. This man seemed to have no habit of relying on himself, and was always simple, clean and upright, "Ji Changyun Being excluded from the sect was even beyond our expectations.”

"Xiao Tingshu is very hostile to him. It is definitely not false. We don't know what the situation was like when Bai Tianqu was in power, but after Xiao Tingshu came to power, a very interesting thing happened." Sui Zaihua paused and glanced at the two of them, "Kongtong In the mountain formation, his true energy pattern was removed."

"."

After the Kongtong Mountain Formation was activated, Xiao Tingshu did this and almost excluded Ji Changyun from the sect.

Wudong narrowed his eyes and Sui Zaihua looked at him. The two of them were quiet for a while. Suddenly Wudong turned to look at the thoughtful young man next to him: "Hey, what do we, Mr. Pei, think of this?"

"ah?"

Sui Zaihua also smiled slightly and moved his eyes over.

"I don't think it's right." Pei Ye frowned, "No matter how tense the relationship between master and disciple is, we shouldn't do this kind of thing. Xiao Tingshu is not like such a narrow-minded person, who puts his name before his reality. This kind of behavior is very harmful to Kongtong. The damage is too great.”

"That's right." Wudong nodded and smiled at Sui Zaihua, "Look, I said that although he has little knowledge, he is very smart and measured."

Sui Zaihua glanced at the young man with a smile: "His most impressive thing is his swordsmanship, everything else is just a waste of time."

"All you see is swordsmanship."

"In his position, he will naturally seek his own policies." Sui Zaihua smiled and changed the subject, "So, the reason why Xiao Tingshu showed such excessive hostility to his teacher, even to the point of betrayal, was not because of how much he hated him, but just because of it. I don’t want Ji Changyun to get close to Kongtong or Jianbi Mountain.”

"Because this place is full of traces of the peace talks between Baitianqu and Huansilou." Sui Zaihua continued, "Ji Changyun was aloof and arrogant by nature, so he really stopped showing up. If Ming Qitian hadn't asked the sword here, or there was some trouble in Kongtong, maybe He will never appear in front of Kongtong disciples again until he dies."

"There is one more thing that can prove it." Wudong straightened up and added, "Ji Changyun did not appear in the ambush on Pei Ye just now."

Pei Ye's eyes widened. It was indeed true. If Ji Changyun had been on the side of Huansilou, then under the joint efforts of him and Da Sishan, he would have been killed just now.

Sui Zaihua was silent for a while, looked at the mountain top in the distance, and said softly: "But there are still some doubts about this situation."

"First, where is the dramatist?" Sui Zaihua looked at the two of them, "In Bowang, Qu Zhu acted as the dramatist, so what was [Sima] doing and why did his whereabouts need to be covered up."

"Secondly, although Bai Tianqu has an extreme temperament, he actually cares for his disciples far more than Ji Changyun. At that time, everyone in the world said that he protected his shortcomings. Xiao Tingshu made a mistake, and he was the one who protected him strongly. Will such a person really protect his disciples for the sake of 'Jian Zang'? 'Harm your fellow disciples?"

"Third."

"Thirdly, Xiao Tingshu's determination is too strange." Wudong took over, "This is also the paradox that pervades the whole thing. I think Pei Ye was just as surprised when he faced Da Sishan just now."

Pei Ye was startled: "Yes."

"Kongtong is one of the thirty-three sword sects of Dao Qihui. It holds the Golden Book of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how you look at it, the future is bright enough." Wudong said, "I still understand that there is some cooperation between Jianzang and Huanshulou. But since the imperial court has seen it, it should be cut off and the boundaries drawn. How can we go to the dark side with Huan Shei Lou? "

"I'm afraid only Xiao Tingshu knows this reason."

"good."

"Let's stop here." Sui Zaihua was quiet for a moment and looked back at where he came from. "I will personally go to Ji Changyun and ask him to take charge of Kongtong."

"One more thing, send a message to Shaolong." Wudong reminded, "The enemy is within Kongtong, and the stalls are very large. We can send people here."

"Isn't the soul bird here? Just tell it to the Immortal Terrace."

Wudong smiled: "[Liu Feng] has another mission."

Sui Zaihua nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at Wudong and paused for a moment: "Then, say goodbye."

Wudong looked at him equally quietly: "Don't pass Master Sui."

Sui Zaihua jumped up, coming and going like a thunderous roar, with his long sword drawn on his body. Wherever he passed, the trees parted for him.

The sky is getting whiter.

Pei Ye watched the figure disappear from sight, turned around, and saw Wudong pulling out a piece of letter paper, placing it on his bloody knee and starting to write.

It was a light moon in the early morning, and the old man's legs were crossed and stretched out. It was obviously a very casual posture, but Pei Ye could see a rare solemnity in the cautious and slow writing.

".What did you write?"

"An inference that has not yet been proven." Wudong lowered his head, ".Send it to someone you can't think of."

"." Pei Ye sat down again, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Sir, what do you think about the 'shadow'?"

The young man looked at him with shining eyes. They had talked a lot just now, but the figure that the young man had been keeping in his heart seemed to disappear.

"Do you think he is in Kongtong?"

"Of course. This formation was made by him. At such a critical moment, there is no reason for him to be absent."

"Yes. But he will never show up with his own face." Wudong looked at the boy, "In other words, he no longer has his own face, right?"

".Do you think a person can repair a broken arm in a few days?"

"It's easy for a master of the Qi Dao to achieve a level that is invisible to outsiders." Wu Dong's pen tip paused on the paper for a moment, then turned his eyes and said seriously, "Qu Zhu must be moving. Follow your rhythm. Just continue to investigate. Now that you have unveiled [Dasi Mountain], it is very good. You can go back and sort it out, and maybe many things will come to light naturally."

"go back?"

"Yes." Wudong looked at him, "The 'Hidden Sword Pavilion' hasn't been carefully investigated yet, right? Besides, if the other party fails to get the 'Soul Seizing Pearl' from you, where will they turn?"

Pei Ye's heart and lungs suddenly contracted.

Zhang Jingbi is still in the law enforcement hall.

"We have mobilized the peak masters from all the peaks, but it may still be unsafe." Wudong hissed, "You have to take precautions."

"Okay." Pei Ye frowned and thought, tightening his grip on the sword hilt, "What about you?"

"I" Wudong tapped the penholder lightly, "Pei Ye, tell me again in detail what happened in [Zhaoyou]."

Pei Ye was startled: "Okay."

He adjusted his sitting posture and began to tell the old man about the quiet valley with cold wind and clear moon in [Zhaoyou] one by one. He also relived the story that spanned thirty years. By the time it was over, the cold moon had faded away, and the day hung clearly in the east.

Wudong just put down his pen and closed his eyes in silence for a long time.

"You know," he opened his eyes and sighed softly, "ever since you first sent me a letter telling me these things, I have been constantly having questions. Unfortunately, they cannot be answered by these past events themselves."

"."

"Stretching the knife's thread, holding the knife's thread," the old man took a deep breath, staring directly at the slowly beating cold sun with his gray eyes, "Why can he also draw the [drawing the thread] with it?"

Pei Ye subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the beautiful sword in the old man's hand: "Who are you talking about?"

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and Wudong did not answer his question. In fact, Pei Ye's mind was not too focused on it. He kept thinking about what Qu Zhuhui was doing, and some inexplicable weirdness began to fill his heart.

——Since Qu Zhu was in Kongtong, why didn’t he come to help Da Si Shan during the ambush at Zangjian Pavilion just now?

Even further thinking, why didn't Qu Zhu show up when he was trying to retrieve Zhang Jingbi's soul?

He would rather let Jiang and Xi take action and let them fail as soon as they are discovered by themselves.

How important are other things in this mountain gate?

Suddenly, the old man whispered in his ears: "What if they are the same person."

Pei Ye suddenly shivered and turned to stare at the old man.

Wudong only stared at the horizon motionless, his whole body seemed to be frozen, and his gray eyes condensed into two ambers.

After a long time, he slowly relaxed, as if he had fallen into the silence of dusk.

"Since entering the Immortal Terrace, I have solved thousands of cases in the decades, but I have never encountered such a strange case." Wudong said softly, "For the first time, I felt that I was not capable enough and could not control it."

"."

"But fortunately, Mr. Sui is still here." Wudong sighed.

"Master Sui?"

"Yes. I have known him for a long time, about ten years, and we have worked with each other in the past few days." Wudong looked at the horizon quietly, then suddenly lowered his head and picked up his pen again, "I believe him."

"."

"You go." Wudong said, "There is no time to lose."

"What about you?" Pei Ye still didn't get an answer.

"Of course I have something to investigate." Wudong lowered his head and wrote quickly, his face once again frozen into that sharp coldness, "Goodbye, Pei Shaoxia."

Pei Ye didn't get any revelations, but at this moment he suddenly felt that what the old man was going to do was much more dangerous, and hesitated for a moment and said: "I'll give you the glass."

Wudong was startled, raised his head and looked at him for a moment, smiled and shook his head: "Absolutely not."

"Let's go." He waved his hand.

Pei Ye saluted and turned to leave, but he jumped up and stood behind the treetops, and suddenly another voice came from behind him.

"Pei Ye."

The young man turned his head.

Wudong was still sitting on the broken rocks under the tree, his gray hair was scattered, and the old blood on his clothes had begun to settle into mottled spots.

"I'm going to take a gamble, kid. I'm leaving because I won't help you anymore."

"."

"Next, you may have a hard time, a lot of pain, and you may even die in this vortex. No one can guarantee anything." Wudong looked at him quietly and said softly, "But if we win, we'll win completely."

".What do you mean by win completely?"

"I've made up my mind." Wudong didn't answer, but just grinned horribly and lowered his head again, "Goodbye."
