Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Another person said, "Even Real Person Xuan Tian doesn't know where he's run off to. Maybe he saw the danger and secretly escaped first, using us as bait to attract the attention of the demon race. Hmph, he doesn't even care about the disciples of his own sect!"

"Is that so? This old Daoist didn't know that after painstakingly escorting you all this way, this is how you speak of me!" Daoist Fire Crow, carrying four people in his hand, slowly flew out from behind a stone cliff on one side, looking down and speaking with an unfriendly tone.

"My master is here!" Yuan Zhilin said with a grin to Liu Jinglong beside him, "This guy has been nagging all the time, and I can't beat him. This time, let's see him slap himself in the face!"

Qu Chongyi quickly saluted, "Qu Chongyi of Lanyue Valley greets Real Person Yuan."

There were also five other Core Formation cultivators who also announced their names and saluted together.

On the other hand, the two Core Formation cultivators who had previously made sarcastic remarks were now in a daze, not knowing how to respond.

Daoist Fire Crow didn't bother to argue with them, threw Hao Sanding on the ground, and said, "What did this person say to you all just now? Tell this old Daoist."

The five people looked at each other several times, all somewhat hesitant. Daoist Fire Crow did not urge them, but stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slowly moving back and forth over them.

After a few more breaths, an old Daoist with white hair stepped forward and said, "Real Person, please forgive me. This Hao Sanding had already gone tens of thousands of miles north, but for some reason, he found this place, saying that as the chief steward of the flying boat, he didn't dare to leave so many fellow Daoists and return alone, so he came back to find you all, wanting to take as many people back as possible. He said… Real Person Yuan was afraid of the power of the demon race and left alone, not caring about us cultivators who had barely survived. He also incited us to capture several Daoists from your sect and hand them over to the First Demon Suppression City for disposal."

This person was Lin Yu of the Zixia Sect, a Core Formation Late Stage cultivator of considerable age.

"Is that all?" Daoist Fire Crow stared at him with cold eyes.

"Yes, that's all. However, none of us believed his words. If he was willing to share the difficulties with fellow Daoists, why would he have cut the boat and fled at that time? If the flying boat hadn't been broken, many more fellow Daoists could have escaped," Lin Yu knew that his sect had a tense relationship with the Xuantian Sect and was worried that this Real Person would take the opportunity to target him, so he quickly expressed his attitude to show his goodwill.

"Daoist Qu, is that so?" Daoist Fire Crow looked at Qu Yizhong.

Qu Yizhong repeatedly said that he dared not accept the title of Daoist friend from the Real Person, and then said, "Daoist Lin's words are relatively polite. This Hao Sanding insulted Real Person and the Xuantian Sect, saying that Real Person was timid as a mouse and weak in strength, and that Daoist Zhang was creating trouble out of nothing. If there was no interference, he could have concentrated on controlling the boat, avoided the attack of the Black Crow King, and as long as he entered Bishi Mountain, he could have used the special environment in the mountain to get rid of the pursuit of the transformed demon and safely arrived at the Second Demon Suppression City."

Daoist Fire Crow smiled and asked, "Did Daoist Qu enter Bishi Mountain?"

"In response to Real Person, Qu initially fled east, but seeing many black birds besieging and intercepting, knowing that it was too difficult to break through by force, he turned to Bishi Mountain. At that time, the Black Crow King, for some reason, suddenly flew into Bishi Mountain, and the black birds originally blocking the south side of the mountain dispersed in other directions, so Qu took the opportunity to escape into the mountain," Qu Chongyi replied.

"What is the situation in the mountain? Is it just a special environment?" Daoist Fire Crow asked again.

Qu Chongyi shook his head, "There are cultivators with high cultivation levels setting up formations in the mountain, not just the abnormal spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Hao Sanding insisted on driving the flying boat into the mountain, definitely not for the reason he said! Moreover, he had clearly escaped far away with the help of the flying boat, but he came back here, definitely not to find the other fellow Daoists, but because he still had unfinished business. This place is not easy to find. We were able to get here because the formation in Bishi Mountain directly teleported us here. Hao Sanding came from the north side on his own, which shows that he knew this place long ago. In this case, he has contact with the person setting up the formation in the mountain."

Daoist Fire Crow clapped his hands and laughed, "Well said. Daoist Qu peeled away the layers and explained all the suspicious points. If it was just one, it could be said to be a coincidence, but so many suspicious points undoubtedly show that this person has a big problem. What do you think?"

Lin Yu bowed and said, "Lin agrees with Daoist Qu's opinion. Lin personally witnessed these suspicious points and they are definitely not fabricated."

After him, a middle-aged scholar-dressed Core Formation cultivator said, "Lu also feels that Daoist Qu's words are very true. Hao Sanding, as the chief steward of the Tiannan Immortal City City Lord's Mansion and in charge of all matters of the flying boat, can be said to have behaved improperly and his whereabouts are suspicious. He needs to be strictly investigated!"

This person was Lu Xiangkun, a cultivator of the Feather Spirit Sect, one of the top ten sects in the Southern Region. He was not old and his cultivation was also in the Core Formation Late Stage. Although he agreed with Qu Yizhong's opinion, his words were much more particular.

Of the other five Core Formation cultivators, three also expressed their opinions. The remaining two were a bit embarrassed because they had ridiculed the Xuantian Sect and Daoist Fire Crow. However, they originally belonged to the Core Formation Late Stage cultivators that Hao Sanding had called, and they did not dare to immediately change their allegiance and turn to the Xuantian Sect.

Daoist Fire Crow ignored them, pointed at Hao Sanding under his feet, and said, "I have captured this person, so please Daoist Qu interrogate him once, but don't use torture, and see how he explains it."

Qu Chongyi responded and walked to Hao Sanding's side, removing the Qi mechanism that restrained his vocal cords, and said in a deep voice, "Chief Steward Hao, things have come to this, it's useless for you to hide it. Nascent Soul Real Persons have many methods to extract the secrets from your brain. Moreover, your intention for this trip, um, or rather the things that the person behind you told you to do, you should have failed to complete. Not only did you fail to complete it, but you also caused a great disaster. If possible, that person might want to kill you! You could have escaped, but you came back here, just for this, right!"

Hao Sanding's eyes flickered, but he didn't say a word.

Qu Yizhong continued, "If you are determined to go down the wrong path, not afraid of death and destruction, then I will pretend that I didn't say anything. If you still want to live, still want to continue to climb the Great Dao and live forever, then please answer my questions truthfully."

Hao Sanding closed his eyes, looking like he refused to cooperate.

Qu Yizhong had expected this, sighed softly, and still asked, "Did you know long ago that someone was setting up a formation in Bishi Mountain?"

Hao Sanding's lips were tightly closed, not saying a word.

Qu Yizhong asked again, "Who exactly is the person in Bishi Mountain trying to deal with?"

Hao Sanding still had no reaction.

Qu Yizhong was about to ask again, but Daoist Fire Crow raised his hand to stop him, "Alright, since he doesn't want to say it, then let it be."

At this time, he turned his head and looked at the two Core Formation cultivators who had previously made sarcastic remarks to him and said, "What he did involves the sect, so he plans to die for it. Are you two going to do the same?"

The two were caught off guard by Daoist Fire Crow's sudden question, and they were both stunned, then showing a look of fear. Originally, they also had some doubts, but Hao Sanding spoke logically, but they were still a little unsure, so they still chose to stand on his side.

Unexpectedly, after Hao Sanding was taken down by Daoist Fire Crow, his performance was very different from before. The two were not fools, and they didn't understand the reason, and they were immediately a little flustered.

One of them, a young and gentle-looking cultivator, said, "Real Person, please forgive me. I was just invited by Hao Sanding to be a guard, and it was agreed that I would be paid with spirit stones after the matter was completed. I don't know anything about the rest of the matter, and I didn't participate in it. What do you need me to do, Real Person? Please order me, and I will definitely obey your orders and dare not be negligent."

The other one, who was older and as thin as a bamboo pole, had a pair of small eyes rolling non-stop. He quickly echoed, "Xun and Daoist Yao are the same, we don't know anything. Real Person, if you have any orders, we will do everything."

Daoist Fire Crow put on a stern face and said solemnly, "What orders does this old Daoist have! When the Seven City Alliance Enforcement Hall asks in the future, you say what you see, but don't say that this old Daoist told you to."
