The Way of the Immortal Master

Since the Taiyi Gate cannot be attacked openly, the Zhao family has been playing tricks in secret.

For example, Fang Meng and others who defected from the Taiyi Sect were taken in by the Zhao family, and they were planning to use their identities to interfere in the internal affairs of the Taiyi Sect.

Later, the monks of the Zhao family discovered the old lair of the ghost cultivators in the foundation building period, that is, the abandoned mine.

Compared to the bones of the Taiyi Gate, the ghost cultivator's lair in the Foundation Establishment Period is a big piece of fat.

Of course, there are also great risks in the big fat.

Fang Meng and other Taiyi Sect traitors were forcibly driven into the mine by the Zhao family as cannon fodder to explore the way.

Most of the traitors died at the hands of the ghosts in the mine, and Fang Meng, who had a good escape skill, took the opportunity to escape and disappeared. Fang Yong was the only one rescued by the monks of the Zhao family.

The many ghosts in the abandoned mine made the elders of the Zhao family in the late stage of Qi refining feel a little troublesome.

The Shaoyang Qigong practiced by Meng Zhang has a special restraining effect on ghosts and evil spirits. This level of information had long been disclosed to the Zhao family by Fang Meng.

Moreover, Zhao Yanbei, the patriarch of the Zhao family, considered that although the Taiyi Sect is a small sect that has been ruined for a long time, after all, it has been passed down for a long time, and the ancestors were once rich. In the hands of the master.

Therefore, after discussions with the senior members of the Zhao family, they made a plan for the future.

Secretly planted a restriction in Fang Yong's body, and put him back to the Taiyi Gate.

On the one hand, Fang Yong can act as the eyes and ears of the Zhao family, allowing the Zhao family to obtain the latest information about the Taiyi Gate.

On the other hand, through Fang Yong's mouth, some information about the abandoned mine was revealed to lure Meng Zhang to explore.

In the old lair of ghost monks, there must be insidious means hidden.

Meng Zhang, who cultivates Shaoyang Zhenqi, can restrain ghosts, and after entering the mine, he may also draw out the insidious methods hidden by ghost monks.

With Meng Zhang opening the way ahead, the monks of the Zhao family can reduce some casualties and save a lot of energy.

Even, if the monk of the ghost way returns to his lair suddenly, Meng Zhang, the scapegoat, will stand in front of him.

The monks of the Zhao family had a good plan, but Meng Zhang didn't go according to the plan, so he just wasn't fooled.

After such a long time, not only has Meng Zhang never been to that abandoned mine, but he has not even shown any interest in it.

Looking at the timid Fang Yong, a wave of anger rose in Zhao Chen's heart.

I don't know that Meng Zhang is so cautious and has no curiosity at all. It was Fang Yong, the trash, who didn't hide it from Meng Zhang, and was seen through by Meng Zhang.

Therefore, Zhao Chen repeatedly questioned Fang Yong about all the details of his contact with Meng Zhang.

During the cross-examination process, in order to prevent Fang Yong from lying, he inevitably resorted to some means, which made him suffer a lot.

Apart from answering questions honestly, Fang Yong kept crying and begging for mercy.

From Fang Yong's answer, it is impossible to tell whether Meng Zhang has seen through Fang Yong.

But the intention was for Fang Yong to be an undercover agent at the Taiyi Gate, but this trash can't even enter the gate of the Taiyi Gate, and can only stay in Tianshui Oasis with mortals, Zhao Chen really wants to slap this useless guy to death.

Considering that it was Zhao Yanbei's order to send Fang Yong back to Taiyi Gate as an undercover agent, Zhao Chen suppressed the killing intent in his heart and told Fang Yong to leave immediately.

Now Meng Zhang has not been fooled, and it seems that there is no need to wait any longer. Zhao Chen decided to speak to the Patriarch, and directly forcibly explore the abandoned mine, so as to avoid accidents caused by long nights and dreams.

Next, the senior management of the Zhao family fell into a dispute.

Is it worth taking the risk to forcibly break into the lair of ghost cultivators for the sake of unwarranted wealth?

If the news is leaked and ghost monks come to kill them, it will be enough to wipe out the Zhao family.

Some elders of the Zhao family strongly objected to the family inviting ghost monks, and even more strongly objected to entering the abandoned mine.

Zhao Chen, as the confidant of Zhao Yanbei, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family, put forward a point of view, that the monks of the Ghost Dao were hunted down all the way by the monks of the Feihongzong, and they might be killed by the monks of the Feihongzong. If the owner can't come back, everything in the abandoned mine will become ownerless, and naturally there will be no future troubles or risks.

Of course, this kind of fluke idea was immediately opposed by some elders in the clan.

In the end, it was Zhao Yanbei, the head of the Zhao family, who made the final decision, forcibly suppressed the voice of opposition, and decided to break into the abandoned mine to search for the lair of ghost monks and obtain wealth.

There is only one reason for Zhao Yanbei to make such a decision, the Zhao family cannot live without foundation-building monks for a long time. It is necessary to cultivate the family's foundation-building monks in the shortest possible time.

And to cultivate foundation-building monks, you can't do without massive resources.

Over the years, the Zhao family has lost a lot of interests, openly or secretly, and has been squeezed by some competitors.

As long as it is not an open fight, this kind of open and secret fighting is in line with the rules of the cultivation world and is acquiesced by various forces.

This method of cutting flesh with a soft knife made the Zhao family very uncomfortable.

If the situation continues like this, the Zhao family will probably lose all their income outside, just like Taiyimen, and can only live in their own spiritual field.

As long as there is a foundation-building monk in the Zhao family, all problems can be easily solved, and the lost benefits can be regained.

After the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yanbei, gave the order as the head of the family, the entire Zhao family began to mobilize.

For the sake of caution, the Zhao family collected a lot of magic tools and talismans specially used to restrain ghosts.

When the Zhao family was about to forcibly explore the abandoned mine, Meng Zhang, who had already returned from the abandoned mine, came to Huojingfang City according to the original plan.

Even a chasing horse cannot cross the distance of more than 4,000 miles in one go.

Galloping all the way, stopping and going on the road, sleeping in the wilderness several times, it took several days to reach the destination. Not only Zhui Fengju was exhausted, but also Meng Zhang was a little tired.

Huojingfang City, just like its name, was built on a group of fire wells.

The original location of Huojingfang City not only has a second-level high-grade spiritual vein, but there are also many fire wells around the spiritual vein.

The so-called fire wells are some natural cracks in the ground, from which the underground fire is constantly gushing out.

Earth Fire Sect, who is good at refining weapons, was the first to discover this place. These flames erupting from the ground are the best fire for refining weapons.

The refiners of the Earth Fire Sect used various methods to control the flow of these underground flames, and bound them to the fire wells.

During this process, Feihongzong also made great efforts, and also took the opportunity to extend his hand in, grasping a lot of benefits of Huojingfang City.

Of course, the monks of the Earth Fire Gate are famous for their madness, and there are many lunatics among them who are not afraid of death.

Even Feihongzong is not willing to easily provoke a lunatic.

Although Dihuomen is nominally a vassal of Feihongzong, it has a lot of autonomy.

Feihongzong's attitude towards Dihuomen has always been relatively gentle. In Huojingfang City, the two sides can cooperate happily and develop together.
