Chapter 300: Golden Wind Temple

Chu Tai, who left Youxi Qiankan blessed land, did not immediately go to the cave left by Jinhua Sect, but contacted Si Shubai first.

The moment they got in touch, Si Shubai was the first to congratulate.

"Congratulations to you for successfully resisting the Emei lineage's occupation of Youkanmen and protecting the fate of the Taiyi lineage."

Chu Tai expressed his joy for this, but Si Shubai was a little confused and asked, "Your happiness is obvious, but why am I so happy?"

"Of course, Emei will be stable for some time to come. I think you also know that Emei lost the magic weapon, the Cloud Measure Ruler, left by the founder during this battle. If this thing is not taken back, Emei will not be able to be at peace."

As soon as Chu Tai said this, Si Shubai immediately understood what he meant and whispered, "So, Youkanmen is willing to return this item? From what I know, this treasure is quite powerful."

"What's the use of it no matter how powerful it is? It's not a top treasure like the Thunder and Fire Swords that can play a decisive role. Moreover, Youkan Sect wants to reopen its mountain gate, and it is impossible for it to really fall out with Emei Sect. Instead of holding on to this item, it is better to return it early in exchange for some benefits. Now, the two parties should have contacted each other and are planning to discuss this matter..."

After Chu Tai conveyed to Si Shu Bai what he and Taoist Youkan had discussed and what he could tell him, he asked him about the recent developments of the Emei Sect and the Wutai Sect.

After getting some of the information he wanted, Si Shubai did not hide it from Chu Tai and directly told him the recent actions of the two sects.

"After your fight at Youxi Mountain, both sects are not making any moves on the surface, but they are making small moves in secret. But from what you said, Youkan Sect intends to return the Cloud Measure Ruler. The Emei Sect should be quiet for a while, and we can slow down some of our plans, but it's hard to say about Wutai."

Si Shubai's answer was within Chu Tai's expectations. At the same time, he was also a little curious about Wang Chao's current views on Wutai.

"What happened to Wutai? What kind of trouble has occurred again? Speaking of which, I am actually a little curious about what the situation of Wutai is like over there? Is it recorded in the orthodox Xuanmen system, or in the unorthodox system, or is it recorded in the category of crooked and evil ways, or the devil's way and the outside world?"

"Mount Wutai, a famous mountain with a master, naturally belongs to the orthodox Xuanmen sect, but the other factions depend on the specific circumstances of the people who opened it up, held power, and lived there..."

Si Shubai’s answer was very interesting, but it also made Chu Tai understand some of the views within the dynasty on the Wutai Sect.

Obviously, at least Si Shubai didn't have a very good opinion of the Wutai sect. He thought for a moment and asked again, "I wonder if there have been any evil people in the Wutai sect in recent days?"

Upon hearing this, Si Shubai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you asking this? The relationship between you Taiyi and Wutai is very delicate now, so don't do anything unnecessary."

"I'm just curious about what Wutai wants to do. I also want to exchange some materials with you, so I wonder if there is something suitable for me to do in Wutai..."

"It's a good idea to attack. You're being really straightforward."

Listening to Si Shubai's response, Chu Tai responded in a low voice: "I wonder if it is or not?"

"Of course there are, but I want to make it clear to you that some people in Mount Wutai do not commit crimes personally. If they are really related, they have already found scapegoats. It is not easy for us to directly write their names into the arrest documents. So if you want to deal with them, we cannot reward you. Neither I nor Captain Shen can reward you."

"That's nothing. I'll just fight them in the name of fighting." Chu Tai's answer made Si Shubai stop struggling. She herself hated some cultivators of the Wutai lineage, and it was not easy for her to take action on weekdays. This time someone was willing to take action, so she was naturally happy to do them a favor. The relevant data and information soon fell into Chu Tai's hands.

After a quick look, Chu Tai chose Liu Xue, the immortal old man from Jinfeng Temple, from among the many disciples of Mount Wutai.

According to the information sent by Si Shu Bai, this immortal old man was born with a unique physique, a rare yin and yang body. Before he joined Wutai, he was once a servant of a side sect cultivator. Later, he learned the method of collecting and replenishing by secret, relying on his special physique, and during intercourse with the side sect cultivator, he stole the other's essence and thereby entered the sixth rank.

After becoming the disciple of the Wutai Patriarch, he also specialized in various methods of collecting and replenishing energy, and the method of cement elixir. After practicing hard for five decades, he gradually refined the mixed magic power in his body into purity. With the help of the Wutai Patriarch, he entered the fifth level and opened the Jinfeng Temple outside.

It is not known if it is because of his early spiritual practice experience, but this immortal old man likes to devour the essence and energy of children the most. He accepts all children, whether they are boys and girls of twelve or thirteen years old, or children of seven or eight years old.

Moreover, after stealing the essence of the children, he would give them elixirs as compensation. To outsiders, these children seemed full of energy and vitality, but little did they know that they had already become rotten inside and found it difficult to cultivate.

This resulted in a group of children leaving and entering Jinfeng Temple almost every five years.

To date, at least 6,000 children have been affected by it.

These are just the records on the surface; no one knows how many people are involved in secret.

"You guys don't care?"

After Chu Tai made his choice, he asked casually.

Si Shubai sneered, "We would like to intervene, but who would listen? Liu Xue directly said that she wanted to guide the children into Taoism, so she used the method of spiritual communication to guide them in their practice. Before the practice, she told the children about the pros and cons... Bah... How old were those children when they were influenced by it? How could they know the subsequent impact?"

When he said this, Si Shubai was so angry that his teeth itched: "I once sent people to do it, but the Wutai clan is really good, using both open and covert means. They also sent people to send messages to the mansion and asked them to plead with me... But what does it mean? Isn't it just that he gave those children enough compensation, and the children themselves and their parents don't care, why should I care?"

When he said the last sentence, even though the other person was not in front of him, Chu Tai could feel Si Shubai's expression twisted.

"I see. Then it won't matter if I make a big fuss about this, right?"

Chu Tai's words immediately made Si Shubai feel much better, and the tone of his answer was also much calmer.

"Of course not. Just like they didn't let me intervene before, I also have ways to stop them. But I'm afraid your evaluation and opinion of them will be reduced by another three points."

"Nothing, I don't eat your food anyway."

After Chu Tai lost contact with Si Shu Bai, he slowly walked towards the direction of Jinfeng Temple.
