The Wheel-Turning Master.

Not long after Lin Bai left with Qiu Yucan, the sky was filled with sunset glow.

The sunset fell on the gate of the market town, revealing the figure of a woman.

The woman looked old, with silver hair, but she was wearing a scarlet dress embroidered with water patterns. She was Qiu Xiangwan from the Autumn Water Sword Sect.

Qiu Xiangwan noticed that Qiu Yucan was seriously injured, so he hurried over and glanced at the place where the fight took place. He didn't see any traces left, which clearly meant that the fight was a quick one.

"Who is it?" Qiu Xiangwan counted on his fingers, but it was useless. He then took out a treasure box and opened it, and several colorful threads floated out.

After closing his eyes and sensing for a while, Qiu Xiangwan realized that not only could he not find any trace of the murderer, he also didn't know where Qiu Yu's body was.

I wanted to find someone to ask, but all the buildings and shops in the market town were destroyed, and many monks were running around in panic, making the city a mess.

With the pressure of the Nascent Soul, the cultivators who were running around in the market suddenly quieted down and fell to the ground crying.

"Grandmaster!" A middle-aged male cultivator climbed forward crying, "My patriarch has been murdered, please help me!"

Qiu Xiangwan waved his sleeves, and the middle-aged male cultivator immediately regained consciousness, and then he asked the reason.

After asking, I found out that someone came to inquire about the affairs of the Tianshan Sect, and Qiu Yucan just happened to be there and was captured.

The murderer's Jindan cultivation level and appearance were unknown. The two Jindan and five foundation-building cultivators who besieged him all confessed, and even the three shops that the murderer had visited were all killed.

That was not all. The market was also ransacked. The five largest shops were emptied out, and the remaining small shops were all destroyed. Although no killings were done, they were abominable and set on fire. It was really inhumane!
Qiu Xiangwan carefully asked the murderer what method he used, but he only knew that a cloud of mist was released, and then the man disappeared.

Knowing that it was useless to ask further, Qiu Xiangwan chased the murderer in the direction he fled for a while, but seeing no trace of him, he guessed that the man must have turned a corner.

"That bitch was seriously injured. It will take her a long time to recover. The person who attacked her was asking about the Tianshan Sect. Was he a cultivator who escaped from the Tianshan Sect?" Qiu Xiangwan pondered for a moment and did not dare to stay any longer, fearing that something unexpected would happen. He planned to return to Tiangong City to discuss it again.

Lin Bai went around in a big circle, and when he felt that the sense of danger in his heart was gradually fading away, he went to find He Wenyao.

"Why did you come just now?" He Wenyao looked haggard, with ragged clothes, as if he had fought with someone for three hundred rounds. He still looked concerned and said seriously, "I saw that you hadn't come back for a long time, so I went to look for you, but I couldn't find you."

"Really?" Lin Bai threw the unconscious Qiu Yucan to He Wenyao.

"Of course... Oh, I haven't had time to look for it far away." He Wenyao looked haggard and took Qiu Yucan in a panic, and asked in surprise: "One golden elixir and one Yuanying are not enough for you to enjoy, and you caught an old lover?"

Lin Bai glared at him and He Wenyao shut his mouth.

"Hurry up, the Nascent Soul is chasing us!" Lin Bai walked forward first.

He Wenyao was startled and hurried to catch up.

The two of them were very careful and after making sure that no one was following them, they finally returned to their hiding place.

"Everything is the same as before." Pei Ning was guarding the cave entrance, glanced at Qiu Yucan, and didn't ask any more questions.

"It's your turn to watch the door." Lin Bai took Qiu Yucan and looked at He Wenyao.

"..." He Wenyao was very aggrieved, "I went out with you with great difficulty, and when I came back, I haven't even seen the fairy, and you assigned me something?"

"Please." Lin Bai said.

"That's better." He Wenyao agreed.

Lin Bai and Pei Ning smiled and walked deeper into the cave carrying Qiu Yucan.

Lu Qingyin was still in seclusion, so the two of them went straight to the stone chamber of Yuexiachan.

Seven days passed and Yuexiachan looked much better. She changed into moon-white clothes and tied her hair into a bun with cassia twigs. However, she was as cold as the moon and seemed to be full of sorrow.

"Ancestor, I didn't dare to enter Tiangong City, so I had to stay near Tiangong City for a few days. I also looked at Tianshan Sect from afar and found the trace of Qiu Yucan. He followed me all the way and was finally captured by me!"

Lin Bai looked haggard, and his words were neither true nor false. No one could verify the first half of his sentence, but the second half could be made up.

Now Yuexiachan has no one to use his hands, and Lin Bai has shown his loyalty greatly. It is clear that he has become the closest person to Yuanying.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yuexiachan looked at Qiuyucan lying on the ground and said something to comfort him.

"Working for the ancestor is not hard at all!" Lin Bai said seriously.

"What's going on outside?" Yue Xia Chan asked. "Alas." Lin Bai sighed, "Half of the Tianshan Sect surrendered, and the other half left. Now the Qiushui Sword Sect and Yuxin Yiyi Sect are jointly taking over."

The toad under the moon nodded slightly without saying anything.

Lin Bai was the most sensible one. He stepped forward and gently patted the remaining autumn rain.

After a few breaths, Qiu Yucan groaned and opened his eyes.

She forced herself to sit up, her wound was pulled, her face was pale, but she didn't say a word. She first looked at Lin Pei, then at Yue Xia Chan.

Qiu Yucan pressed the wound on his chest without saying anything.

"Why are you, Qiu Shui Sword Sect and Yu Xin Yi Yi Sect, plotting against Tian Shan Sect?" Lin Bai asked.

Qiu Yucan shook his head and said, "Planning for the Nascent Soul is a matter of great importance. The ancestor did not reveal a single detail beforehand, nor did he explain it afterwards."

"Where are Yue Pingye and the others?" Lin Bai asked about the several Tianshan Sect Jindan who went to Tiangong City together.

"Imprisoned in Tiangong City." Qiu Yucan said.

"What are your plans for the Tianshan Sect? How are you going to deal with the people who are left behind?" Lin Bai asked again.

"It's still under discussion. It seems that Elder Xue from the Yuxin Yiyi Sect will be in charge and establish a new sect. As for the people who stay behind, they will follow the rules of the Northern Wilderness and will be our people if they surrender sincerely." Qiu Yucan said.

"It was your sect that broke the rules first." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Qiu Yucan said nothing.

"Are you going to Qiao's shop to look for the medicine from me and He Wen?" Lin Bai asked.

"The deaths of the three senior brothers are related to you two, so naturally we have to investigate." Qiu Yucan covered his chest and glanced at Yuexiachan, as if to assess Yuexiachan's injuries, and said: "Of course, we are also tracking down Senior Yue's whereabouts."

The toad under the moon closed its eyes and remained silent. At this moment, a light tap of the finger seemed to attract a ray of soft moonlight with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, falling on the remnant autumn rain.

Qiu Yucan held on for a few breaths, then fainted again.

After a while, the moon toad opened its eyes.

"Ancestor, did you see anything?" Lin Baiqing knew that Yuexia Chan was using his secret magic again, so he hurried over to ask.

"She didn't lie, and she really didn't know much." Yuexiachan clasped her hands in her long sleeves.

It turned out that he was caught in vain! Lin Bai lost his temper and asked, "What should we do next? Please give me some advice, ancestor!"

Yuexiachan pondered for a while and asked, "What are you going to do with her?"

Pei Ning hadn't said a word since she entered the stone chamber. Now she glanced at Lin Bai and thought that he had become her confidant again.

"Ancestor, there is no point in killing this person." Lin Bai looked like he was worried about Yue Xia Chan. "Qiu Shui Sword Sect has imprisoned Yue Pingye and others. In our current situation, we dare not exchange hostages. We might as well make a pact with Qiu Yu Can and release her to exchange Yue Pingye and others. If Qiu Shui Sword Sect releases them, then it will be easy. If not, they will not abuse them."

"You captured her, so it's naturally up to you to decide." Yuexiachan agreed.

"Ancestor, Qiu Xiangwan and others will definitely come to pursue us. Although this place is outside Wanli Lake, it is still within their influence. We should first find a peaceful place." Lin Bai planned to run first, at least to leave the influence of Qiu Shui Sword Sect and Yu Xin Yi Yi Sect. Anyway, the Northern Wilderness is vast.

After settling down, with Yuexiachan's identity, he should know some things about the Tianwen Sect, and then he can inquire about them in detail.

Yuexiachan nodded in agreement and said, "Of course you need to take care of yourself and recuperate, but you also need to avenge this vengeance as soon as possible!"

"..." Lin Bai was afraid that Yuexiachan would get carried away, so he asked carefully, "Does the ancestor have any close friends who are willing to help?"

"The master knew a fellow Taoist some years ago who was well versed in formations. I also used to be friends with him. That man owes the master a favor. We can go and ask him for help." Yue Xia Chan said.

Familiar with the formation? Owe someone a favor? Lin Bai couldn't help but think of someone and asked hurriedly, "What favor do you owe me?"

Yuexiachan did not hide anything and said, "That person asked about the Tianwen Sect, and the Sect Leader told him some secrets."

Given your family's relationship with the Tianwen Sect, they came to inquire, and Master Lian said this? Lin Bai felt it was outrageous, and asked again: "Does the senior have a name? Where does he live?"

"That man calls himself Xie Qingxuan." Yue Xiachan stood up and said, "Let's go find him first." (End of this chapter)
