I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 600 Undercurrent
"This is Elder Xu from the Scarlet Fire Sect, who is at the Void Heaven Great Perfection Realm. How come he looks like this?"

Someone recognized it, came to the gate of the cave, found a way to rescue it, fed it elixir, and used secret methods to help it wake up.

"Fellow Daoist, what's the death? What happened in the cave?"

There were other people gathered around.

These people could not break into the cave, and even if they did, they could not pass the stone forest formation. Some of them were monks who were left outside by various sects for support.

No one outside knew what was going on inside, and when they suddenly saw someone come out and say such words, they were all extremely frightened.

"Senior Brother Xu..."

The cultivator who was waiting outside of the Red Fire Sect finally came over. A cultivator named Xutian, who was also an elder of the Red Fire Sect, was horrified.

Elder Xu seemed to wake up faintly, but before he could say anything, flames burst out from his whole body. It was the fire poison he had suppressed that exploded, and his body and soul were destroyed.

The people around quickly dispersed.

At this time, several more people staggered out of the cave, their bodies also burned to pieces.

There was a faint red light in the entire cave.

"Deputy Palace Master!"

An elder from the Yunque Palace who stayed outside recognized one of them and rushed over to rescue him.

Gong Qianyu, the deputy palace master of Yunque Palace, grabbed the elder's hand and said quickly, "Let's go, leave here immediately!"

"Yes!"

The people from Yunque Palace left one after another.

The next moment, the entire Yin-Yang Cave seemed to wake up suddenly. The light became brighter, flames burned, and ripples appeared, as if even the void could not withstand the flames.

The hot breath caused the surrounding purple mist to dissipate quickly.

The monks around him all moved away.

In the eyes of everyone, this cave slowly faded into the void and disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other.

"The entire cave has disappeared. What about the other people inside?"

"Then who are the others? Lian Yunque Palace's Deputy Palace Master Gong Qianyu is a celestial being, and he has become like this and almost died. I'm afraid the others have already been buried in the fire."

"Where is Qianyuan Sect? Li Shian from Qianyuan Sect is a celestial being, and there is also a Yin-Yang cultivator. Why haven't we seen them come out? Have any of you seen anyone from Qianyuan Sect come out?"

"Never."

"I haven't seen it either!"

"That's strange. Lian Yunque Palace has become like this, so it's normal for people from other sects to get into trouble, but a sect cultivator who is a great yin and yang master shouldn't end up dead, right?"

"What do you think? Could it be that this was done by the Qianyuan Sect?" someone whispered.

"Brother Qin, stop talking nonsense!" another person shouted in a deep voice. It is not a wise thing to make up a story about a sect that practices Yin and Yang. If someone hears it, he will be slapped to death without any chance to complain.

"I just said it casually!" The man surnamed Qin said embarrassedly. He also knew that trouble comes from the mouth, so he didn't mention it again.

After all, someone escaped from the cave, and what happened in this Yin-Yang Cave was finally known to everyone.

Most people were still looking for opportunities in the cave, but suddenly a huge fire came from the back mountain and quickly spread everywhere.

No one knew where the fire came from or why it came. All they knew was that they were suddenly in danger and those who could escape were lucky.

The news here spread quickly, causing an uproar in Chiyuanzhou.

The sects that participated and entered the cave this time were all large and powerful sects in Chiyuan Continent. After all, small sects did not dare to participate in such an opportunity, and even if they came, they could not enter.

Most of the people who went in were killed, and it can almost be said that the strength of the entire Chiyuan Continent was reduced by one point.

After a rough count, it was found that at least twenty Xutian cultivators died in the cave, and even two celestial beings never came out after entering.

But the most noteworthy among them is Qianyuan Sect.

There were people in Chiyuanzhou talking secretly.

Firstly, the day before, there was a great battle between Qianyuan Sect and Youming Sect, which proved that the rumors were not false and there really was a great Yin-Yang cultivator in Qianyuan Sect.

Secondly, are the people from Qianyuan Sect also killed in it, or is Qianyuan Sect the culprit?
It is not surprising to have such thoughts. After all, Qianyuanzong was the first to enter and had the highest cultivation among all the people who came. When such an incident occurred, he was naturally the most likely to be involved.

Countless people wanted to get to the bottom of it. Some monks from the sect had been guarding the edge of the Yuetuo Rift, but no one had seen anyone from the Qianyuan Sect.

Twenty days later.

Inside the Yunque Palace.

"Greetings, Palace Master!" Gong Qianyu's face was still pale. The fire that day had damaged his foundation, so after so much time, he was still just barely able to stabilize his injuries.

Palace Master Mo Liuyun said: "Brother, please don't be so polite. Sit down and talk."

Mo Liuyun asked about the whole thing in detail, frowned, and asked, "So, no one knows what happened in there?"

"I was able to escape thanks to the secret treasure that the Palace Master gave me. I didn't have time to take other people with me. It happened too suddenly, without any signs. If there was anyone who really knew the cause and effect, it could only be the Yin-Yang cultivator from Qianyuan Sect. He entered the cave the earliest and had a token in his hand. He must have gone deeper than us." Gong Qianyu said.

"Even if the Yin-Yang master encounters this calamity, the most he can do is to lose some of his cultivation. Now it all depends on whether Li Shian and his companions will appear again in the future. By the way, Senior Brother, do you think the one who went to the Moon Turbid Rift Valley was his clone or his real body?"

Gong Qianyu hesitated for a moment: "It should be a clone. Who would go and take risks in person, a great yin and yang cultivator?"

Mo Liuyun nodded: "Brother, you should rest and heal your wounds first."

"What about this incident, and the matter of Qianyuan Sect..."

"Let's take a long-term view. Regardless of whether this matter is related to Qianyuan Sect, even if it is, we dare not question it. Let's wait and see what the Netherworld Sect does first!"

"Yes! I understand!" Gong Qianyu stepped back.

This is the case in the spiritual world.

Although many cultivators suspected that the incident in the Moon Turbid Valley might be related to the Qianyuan Sect, no one dared to hold them accountable.

If you accuse a large sect with Yin-Yang Realm without any evidence, wouldn't that be courting death?

In other words, in a cave of Yin and Yang masters, everyone is fighting for opportunities, and life and death is common. Even if it is really Qianyuan Sect, at most, it can be said that they acted cruelly. Ji Dai, who was originally stationed in Chiyuanzhou, heard about the Yuezhu Rift Valley and was a little restless. Although according to the news, Gu Yuanqing's clone was with Li Shian and others, so it shouldn't be a big deal, but Li Shian, Qin Wuya and others did not come out of the cave after all.

"No, I have to go back and ask the Master, this is no small matter!"

He flew straight to Qianyuan Island in a beam of light, and a man in the distance saw Ji Dai flying and followed him from a distance.

This person was at the level of a celestial being, and was extremely careful, but he was still noticed by Ji Dai before he had gone a few hundred miles.

Ji Dai was born into a sect of thieves, so tracking and the like were ingrained in his bones. Even after becoming a cultivator, touch and body movements were still what he was best at.

He performed a secret technique silently, then used the escape technique to escape, and finally, using the outer perimeter of the Qianyuan Island magic circle, Ji Dai silently escaped surveillance and came to the island.

As soon as he reached the side peak, he sensed Li Shian and appeared in front of him in a flash.

"Hey, Prince Li, when did you come back? At least tell me. I heard that something happened in Yuezhuo Rift Valley, so I hurried back, but you are just sitting here drinking tea?" Ji Dai's face was full of dissatisfaction.

Li Shian was startled for a moment, then quickly stood up, poured tea for Ji Dai himself, and offered it with both hands, saying, "Brother Ji, don't be upset. It is indeed Li who is wrong in this matter. Come, I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to you first."

After returning to Beiquan Mountain, he naturally sorted out what he had gained first, and then refined the Moonlight Nectar. After all, it would be a pity if this thing was kept for too long and its medicinal properties were lost, so it was naturally better to refine it early. However, he forgot to ask someone to tell Ji Dai about it.

Ji Dai snorted coldly and drank the tea. Only after Li Shian apologized did his expression ease a little.

Then he asked, "Brother Li, what happened in that cave? Why did so many people die? Now many people suspect that it has something to do with my Qianyuan Sect. Is that right?"

"Many people died?" Li Shian was surprised.

Seeing that Li Shian did not seem to be faking it, Ji Dai told him all the rumors he had heard.

After hearing this, Li Shian frowned. This matter could be a big deal or a small one. To be honest, he didn't know whether this matter was related to Gu Yuanqing, because when he left, he did sense some movement below.

Moreover, these things are difficult to explain clearly. Just returning to the mountains from hundreds of thousands of miles away is hard to believe.

Now, as long as Li Shian, Qin Wuya and others appear in everyone's sight, no matter what the facts are, others will think that what happened there is related to Qianyuan Sect.

"Let's report this matter to you, Master, and listen to your opinion before making a decision!"

The two of them immediately went up to the main peak.

When Gu Yuanqing heard the news, he was also stunned for a moment, thinking to himself: Could it be that because I took away the Five-Colored Divine Lotus, the monster in the underground fire awakened and became furious, so it started a murderous intent and swept across the entire cave?
Gu Yuanqing sensed the crisis at that time. Although he was also too afraid of something, he was worried that it was just a clone and could not protect Gu Siyuan and others outside.

Besides, he had already taken what he needed, so he didn't even think about fighting with the big monster below. He simply took his people and left.

But I didn't expect that this would happen in the end.

Gu Yuanqing listened carefully for a while and said, "From the time point of view, something must have happened after I left. After all, we left this cave at most around four o'clock, and the fire broke out at least two hours after we left."

Li Shian asked: "Sir, how should we deal with this matter now?"

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said calmly: "Actually, you don't have to think too much. The fight for opportunities is a matter of fate. Just do as you see fit."

"Yes!" Li Shian and Ji Dai looked at each other and knew that Gu Yuanqing didn't care too much about this matter.

However, even though Gu Yuanqing didn't care, they couldn't help but care!

Gu Yuanqing didn't care because his cultivation was enough to ignore everything in Chiyuan Continent.

But they themselves couldn't do this, and if they were not careful and had to ask Gu Yuanqing to clean up the mess, it would be too embarrassing.

Moreover, with the affairs of the Netherworld Sect and the Holy Heaven Sect, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the Chiyuan Continent!

Of course, these troubles could be avoided if they retreated to Qianyuan Island, but this would be tantamount to throwing the baby out with the bathwater. The business on Chiyuanzhou is still very important to the Daqian Dynasty, and it is impossible to cut it off.

After the two left the main peak, they called Qin Wuya, Li Haotian and others to discuss the matter together.

Li Guanrong happened to have also come to the mountain, and they worked out a strategy together.

This matter is difficult to explain, and anyway, the Mountain Divine Turtle will leave in a few decades at most. To avoid trouble, Li Shian, Qin Wuya, Gu Siyuan and others should not show up in Chiyuanzhou for the time being.

Qianyuan Sect has a reputation as a great yin and yang cultivator, and ordinary sects don't dare to provoke it. The ones who need to be careful of now are the Netherworld Sect and the Shengtian Sect.

But facing these two evil sects, we can only act according to circumstances.

The most important thing at the moment is to exchange as many things as possible that are lacking in the Qianyuan Realm in the next few decades.

……

Gu Yuanqing didn't care too much about this matter, and he didn't even take the affairs of the Netherworld Sect and the Holy Heaven Sect to heart.

Unless one day a great master of these two major sects appears before him, it is not worth his while to spend too much time on it.

Just leave these matters to Li Shian and others.

He still focused most of his attention on cultivation. He refined most of the Moon Essence and then directly consumed two lotus seeds from the Five-Colored Divine Lotus.

With the combined efforts of the two, Gu Yuanqing felt that his own strength had been strengthened.

Both of them are rare objects, containing the essence of Taoism, which gave Gu Yuanqing new insights into the principles of extreme yin and yang, and the five elements of life. The rune lines in these seven Taoist seals have become more prominent.

……

The Qianyuan Sect kept its troops in place and continued to operate as usual. Ji Dai returned to Longdong Mountain on the seashore to take charge without making a fuss.

In the beginning, no one dared to offend, after all, it was a sect with great Yin and Yang cultivation.

But not long after, many foreign cultivators appeared in Chiyuan Continent. They did not directly trouble Qianyuan Sect, but secretly fanned the flames and put the blame of the Yuezhuo Rift incident on Qianyuan Sect.

He said: Qianyuan Sect must have mastered this immortal residence, so they manipulated the fire magic array to kill the sect members and occupy the cave alone. For an outside sect to do this is even more vicious than the evil ways.

Although these words may not be believable, the seeds of doubt were planted, causing the cultivators of Chiyuan Continent to fear Qianyuan Sect with caution and a hint of hatred.

Especially those sects that encountered accidents in the Moon Turbid Valley.

They did not dare to make things difficult for Qianyuan Sect directly, but found excuses to have people cut off their business with Qianyuan Sect.

In Longdong Mountain, Ji Dai was a little annoyed. He didn't like to be in charge of business, but since he was in charge, some things were inevitable. In the past few months, business had been repeatedly obstructed, and 40% of the business that had been negotiated had problems.

One or two cases could be considered an accident, but so many are definitely not accidents.

He returned to the island, complained to Li Shian, slapped the table, and snorted: "It must be the Netherworld Sect or the Holy Heaven Sect who is causing trouble."
