Chapter 367 Sima Family

No one knew how to respond to Li Xuan's words, so Chu Tai could only turn his attention to Wang Jide.

At this moment, the broken energy that filled the void had been carried by many Buddha lights in golden lotus flowers, and the layers of distorted light were covered by the garland, but Wang Jide's figure had disappeared.

Chu Tai frowned slightly and whispered, "Escaped?"

"It's not that easy."

Li Xuan took a look and did not respond. However, Xuan Chong, who was standing next to him, saw that Chu Tai was confused and helped to explain.

"Where we are now, it is more of a battle of qi than a real fight. Wang Jide's aura has been fixed by several Buddhist monks, and it is difficult to move it. If it is affected a little more, his fate will be distorted. It can be regarded as karma."

"It's a pity that this kind of influence is limited. If he sends these destinies back to Jun Mo's hands, we will be helpless." Yang Wenjing, who arrived later, greeted Chu Tai, and then greeted Xuan Chong and Li Xuan.

Afterwards, Yang Wenjing looked at Li Xuan and said, "I think this is Mr. Hao Xuan from back then. Mr. Hao Xuan has made great contributions to the improvement of the situation in the Central Plains."

"I can't say I have made any contribution. The real heroes probably didn't even leave their names behind. Oh, no, maybe they left some names behind, and even built pavilions and carved inscriptions to commemorate them, but it's hard to say how real the things written on them and left in the pavilions are."

Li Xuan's tone was very aggressive. Yang Wenjing sighed and said, "I'm still curious. Why did many academies strongly oppose the establishment of the monument and the construction of the pavilion? Now it seems that there must be something behind it. I don't know the specific reason and it's hard to judge the results, but why is the master unwilling to trust us to make the world a better place? At least today is better than yesterday, which is a good thing, isn't it?"

"Today is better than yesterday? Tomorrow will be worse than today? What's the point of repeating this over and over again? Besides, are you sure that everyone in the dynasty is willing to let all living beings get better day by day? Maybe it's allowed at the beginning, but what if the number reaches a certain level?"

Li Xuan said this, sneered a few times, and looked at the aura left by Wang Jide.

"What's interesting is that as long as Wang Jide brings back enough luck and destiny, he can not only repay his debt to Junmo, but also get his protection. In comparison, what's the point of us creating enough value? When we don't obey, won't we be hunted down and killed? So, when Junmo was in the dynasty, it was very interesting."

Hearing this, Yang Wenjing didn't know how to respond, while Wang Chaotian, who tended to be neutral, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to express his opinion.

"Hao Xuan, why do you have to do this? If you were willing to admit your mistakes back then, why would you end up like this? Even if you are willing to admit your mistakes now..."

"Admit your mistakes? What did I do wrong? Am I sorry to the dynasty or to the people? The only thing I have damaged is your rights. This is ridiculous. This is really ridiculous. Whether in the past or now, do I need to be responsible for you?"

As he spoke, Li Xuan looked at Chu Tai and said in a cold voice, "By the way, although this guy is neutral but has a conscience, he also interferes when it comes to eating and drinking, and when it comes to dividing the benefits. For example, when the Central Plains planned to expand eastward, we strongly opposed it because the people in the Central Plains were not settled yet, so what was the point of continuing to expand the territory? This fence-sitter chose to expand eastward without hesitation when the wind direction changed?"

"I didn't understand it back then. Instead of those messy things, it would be better to educate the existing people well, cultivate more talents, let more people have a place to rely on when they are old and raise their children, and let them learn what they want to learn and do what they want to do. Instead of being guided by others to learn something they think is necessary..."

Li Xuan's words shocked Chu Tai, and the hidden information behind it made him a little scared. But Chu Tai couldn't go into details, and he couldn't speak. The Wang Chao Tianren opposite him was furious: "Li Haoxuan, you were also an official of the court in the past, why are you making up rumors like this? Do you really think the dynasty can't do anything to you?"

"I dare to swear by my Dao heart and Dao fruit to the founder of the cultivation method and to the saintly kings of all generations that I have seen similar situations before, right inside the dynasty. Do you dare to swear that there is absolutely no such thing inside the dynasty, at least you haven't seen it? Do you dare?"

When Li Xuan said this, the sound echoed around, but was blocked by a faint spiritual light. The black and white yin and yang energy around him intertwined and forced out a middle-aged man in a bright red official robe.

"Tsk, I knew it. How could the dynasty send this fence-sitter? There must be two nobles and two civil servants here."

Li Xuan turned around and said to Chu Tai, "Oh, this Sima Dan was one of the leaders of the eastward expansion. Oh, one of the four factions that had serious conflicts with the Jinhua Sect, a second son of his Sima family was studying Jiqiao Yanshu in Xuanmo Yunmen. The year I left the dynasty, I became an elder of Xuanmo Yunmen with the help of Sima Dan."

Hearing this, Chu Tai narrowed his eyes slightly, while Sima Dan on the opposite side remained calm and watched Li Xuan continue to talk about his own affairs.

"Secondly, a certain daughter of the Sima family married into the second branch of the Xiao family in Zhendong. I heard that they were fighting fiercely with the first branch a few years ago. Furthermore, although the founder of the Ziran Sect was fortunate enough to hear the teachings of the True Lord Hunyuan and worship him as his founder, the method of cultivation is only the martial arts of human immortals after all. Lord Sima did not think much of it and only sent a few illegitimate sons to go. However, they have also achieved some success and have occupied two or three elder positions."

"As for the last Xiu Zi Cliff, although the current cliff owner Tao Lu's surname is Tao, anyone who knows a little bit about the Sima family scandal knows that the eldest daughter of the Sima family suddenly became pregnant before her marriage. Although she claimed that she was pregnant by inspiration, the child disappeared inexplicably after it was born. What a coincidence that the appearance of the cliff owner Tao Lu is a little bit similar to our Lord Sima. Isn't it a coincidence?"

After hearing the last part, Sima Dan laughed instead of getting angry, and even clapped his hands. He said with a face full of joy, "I didn't expect that Mr. Hao Xuan would care so much about our Sima family. As the current head of the Sima family, I feel honored. It's just that the last sentence is biased. It's just a rumor in the streets and alleys, so don't take it seriously."

"Whatever you think it is."

Li Xuan didn't care at all. He continued to talk to Chu Tai, "By the way, don't be fooled by Lord Sima's smiling face now. He is a well-known smiling tiger. I don't know how many allies were sent away by him with a smile."

"Oh, right! Oh, right! I almost forgot to introduce you to the Sima family tradition. In addition to the inheritance of Confucianism and the School of Diplomacy, his family has three most powerful methods. The first one comes from the Blood Demon Way, which is a method of self-improvement. Therefore, the Sima family has many sons and grandsons, but not many of them live to adulthood. The second one comes from the Immortal Way, which should be related to the Big Dipper, so the lifespan of the Sima family heads in all generations is not short. The third one comes from the Lord Demon Way. Those who have allied with the Sima family have never had a good end."

Yang Wenjing was dumbfounded when these words were spoken. Although he knew that Lord Sima's method of cultivation was not normal, he never expected it to be so weird. When Sima Dan heard this, he still kept smiling.

"Mr. Haoxuan, why do you have to spread these rumors..."

"Well, let me say what I said before. I dare to swear on my Dao Heart and Dao Fruit to the founder of the cultivation method and to the Saint Kings of all generations that every word I said before is true. There is something wrong with your Sima family's inheritance. But do you have the courage, Sima Dan? Do you have the courage to use your Dao Heart and Dao Fruit to exchange for the Sima family's reputation?"

Li Xuan's words made Sima Dan silent. After Li Xuan sneered twice, he said goodbye to Chu Tai and left with Xuan Chongsanren. After Chu Tai said a few words to Yang Wenjing, he also left this dark place and returned to his own cave.
