Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 336 Ghost King: Patience!
Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak, Yuqing Hall.

The seven peak masters of Qingyun Mountain were all gathered here. Looking at Gu Qing in front of them, their expressions varied. Among them, Dao Xuan Zhenren's expression was the most unpleasant.

This time, Gu Qing infiltrated the Ghost King Sect, lost the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron, and even made a long-distance raid to kill the Poison God. He also caused a great disturbance in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. His achievements were quite remarkable, almost comparable to Wan Jianyi's trip to the Wilderness back then.

but!

The trouble Gu Qing caused was equally thorny.

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at the Xuanhuo Mirror in Gu Qing's hand. This divine weapon of the Fenxiang Valley lineage had now fallen into the hands of the Qingyun Sect. If the Daoist sect were to master this magic weapon, its strength would certainly increase greatly, but it was feared that it would be too hot to handle.

"When the mandate of heaven changes, divine artifacts will be replaced, and they will belong to the virtuous; this is the natural order."

Gu Qing naturally put away the Xuanhuo Mirror and said frankly, "Back then, Linglong, the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier, possessed boundless magical power and could create things from the void. She was invincible when she wielded the Xuanhuo Mirror. However, after several changes of ownership, the Xuanhuo Mirror fell into the hands of the Burning Incense Valley. Now, how many people still remember Linglong?"

"If this Xuanhuo Mirror is renamed and its form changed, and then placed inside the Qingyun Sect, how many people will recognize it after many years?"

Gu Qing was clearly trying to cheat her.

The senior monks of Qingyun Mountain were tempted by the prospect, but their years of education did not allow them to agree to such a thing.

The Tao Te Ching says, "If you want to take something, you must first give something."

Gu Qing said, "I've already given Li Xun face, so it's only natural for him to take the Xuanhuo Mirror."

"Cough cough..."

Dao Xuan Zhenren coughed twice and said, "The nation's most powerful weapons should not be shown to others!"

The implication is that as long as it's hidden, that's fine.

The chief monks of Qingyun Mountain felt this was rather unfair, but they seemed to have no better solution.

We can't really pay it back, can we?

The Incense Valley would only feel humiliated; they would have to ask the Azure Cloud Sect to retrieve such a magical treasure, and they would show no gratitude whatsoever.

"Gu Qing."

Dao Xuan Zhenren spoke up, saying, "Your contributions this time are immense. If there's anything you want, just say the word."

Gu Qing pondered for a moment. The things that the Qingyun Sect was worth studying now were the fifth volume of the Heavenly Book in the Illusionary Moon Cave, the arrangement of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, and the other two sword techniques of the Qingyun Sect.

However, these things are essential to understanding the true core of the Qingyun Sect.

"I want to bring that person from the ancestral hall back to the light of day."

Gu Qing spoke up.

!!!

The leaders of Qingyun Sect had their eyes shining with admiration and were sincerely grateful to Gu Qing. The worries that had weighed on their minds for many years were swept away by Gu Qing at this moment.

"..."

What else could Dao Xuan Zhenren say? Gu Qing had already pointed out that person's location.

"only……"

Dao Xuan recalled the time he murdered his master.

When Wan Jianyi and the others returned from the wilderness, Tian Chengzi, the leader of Qingyun Sect, had been corrupted by the backlash of the Immortal Execution Technique and had cultivated the Xuan Yin Ghost Qi. In his madness, he was helplessly killed by Dao Xuan and Wan Jianyi. However, after this incident, the newly appointed leaders of Xiaozhu Peak and Dazhu Peak came to his door. These two wanted to protect Tian Chengzi's reputation, while Wan Jianyi bore the name of killing his master.

"That's all..."

The previous leaders of both Dazhu Peak and Xiaozhu Peak have passed away, and Wan Jianyi's reputation has long since faded away. At this moment, Dao Xuan Zhenren silently nodded, looked at Gu Qing, and said, "You are truly a good disciple of Wan Jianyi."

Wan Jianyi might not think that way... Gu Qing smiled inwardly.

After bowing to Dao Xuan, the six chief disciples hurriedly headed towards the location of the ancestral hall.

In that place, Wan Jianyi, now young again, stood in flowing white robes, calm and composed, quietly watching the approaching crowd.

People like Shang Zhengliang, Tian Buyi, and Zeng Shuchang, seeing that Wan Jianyi was unharmed, naturally felt relieved. After they left, Daoist Cangsong threw himself into Wan Jianyi's arms and wept bitterly, saying, "Senior Brother Wan, you saved me again..."

How did I save you?
Wan Jianyi felt confused. Could it be that the mark left on his heart after he rescued Cangsong back then was too heavy?
Looking around to make sure no one was watching, Cangsong whispered, "Senior Brother Wan, thank you for sending Gu Qing to my side. It prevented me from making any more mistakes..."

Cangsong repented before Wan Jianyi, explaining his mistakes. The more Wan Jianyi listened, the more surprised he became. In Wan Jianyi's understanding, he knew Gu Qing because Gu Qing was working at Tongtian Peak when he was touched by the Dragon-Slaying Sword, which led him to the Ancestral Hall.

How did it become a different version when it got into Cangsong's mouth?
Is Gu Qing lying?
As Wan Jianyi watched Cangsong leave, a figure suddenly appeared outside the Ancestral Hall. Wan Jianyi looked over and saw that it was Shuiyue from Xiaozhu Peak.

"Junior Sister Shuiyue."

Wan Jianyi greeted them with a smile, and the two looked at each other as if they had returned to the past.

However, Su Ru, who was originally standing between the two of them, has already gotten married.

"Senior Brother Wan, you don't need to have so many concerns."

Shuiyue spoke with a gentle expression, unusually so, "I'm willing to do anything."

What are you willing to do?

Wan Jian felt something was wrong and asked what was going on. He then learned that Gu Qing and Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak were in love. After angering Master Shuiyue, Gu Qing suddenly revealed that his master liked Lu Xueqi.

This is clearly using Wan Jianyi's name to remove obstacles in their path.

"He also spread the word about your affair with Suzaku back then."

Master Shuiyue said gently, "I believe you two have no illicit relationship."

"..."

Wan Jianyi looked at Shuiyue in front of him and was already figuring out how to deal with Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was truly the most rebellious disciple Wan Jianyi had ever encountered since he began his cultivation.

"How many truths did this kid actually tell after joining the Qingyun Sect?"

Wan Jianyi felt like he had been tricked.

At this moment, Gu Qing and Lu Xueqi stood side by side on the Rainbow Bridge, watching the magnificent changes of Qingyun Mountain. No matter how many lies Gu Qing had told along the way, the fact that Lu Xueqi had followed him was true.

Gu Qing gently took Lu Xueqi's hand and looked at the ice-cold girl's stunning face... If it were any other girl, Gu Qing would have already started to make his move, but Lu Xueqi's aloofness and traditional nature have prevented Gu Qing from succeeding yet.

But soon...

Thousands of miles away, in the East China Sea.

The Ghost King, still reluctant to part with the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron, was calling on the fishermen to go to sea to salvage it when he suddenly received a message. After reviewing the intelligence, the Ghost King saw the contents: the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect had been attacked, and the Poison God had been killed...

"Ugh……"

The Ghost King slapped himself in anger. If he hadn't trusted "Mr. Copper," things would never have turned out this way!
The Hehuan Sect is now fragmented, the Wandu Sect has suffered heavy losses, and the Changsheng Hall and the Ghost King are not familiar with each other. As a result, the Demonic Sect's attempt to unite and attack Qingyun has become a dead end.

"Sect Master, what should we do?"

Qinglong asked.

The Ghost King Sect Master covered his face with one hand, his eyes filled with hidden hatred, and said, "Endure!"
