This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 304: With so many righteous friends around, there is no need to worry about getting rid of Xiang Wentian
There was a young knight named Zuo Qing. He was upright and righteous. He was captured by the evil Huangquan sect and became its disciple.

When Zuo Qing first entered Huangquan Dao, he saw that the atmosphere in the sect was corrupt, and many disciples used evil magic to harm people, capture souls and take lives, and kill people indiscriminately, which made him very sad. Knowing that this was not a one-day problem, he endured it and devoted himself to practicing Huangquan secret arts.

The elders of the sect saw that Zuo Qing was talented, determined and studious, so they gradually respected him, accepted him as their disciple, and gave him the name Lengxie.

Zuo Lengxie obtained the orthodox way of Huangquan, practiced hard day and night, and comprehended the way of Huangquan. He believed that arresting souls and taking lives, and punishing evil were the justice of heaven and earth. He vowed to use the power of reincarnation to uphold justice.

A few years later, Zuo Lengxie understood the difference between black and white, good and evil, and realized the truth about life and death in Huangquan. He firmly believed in the right way of reincarnation and advised his elder mentor to use the power of Huangquan to punish evil and promote good instead of killing innocent people.

However, the sect has been plagued by many problems for a long time. The master disagrees and ridicules Huangquan's sect, saying that it is a demon sect with the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf. How can it be just?

Because they have different ideals, they cannot work together, and the master and disciple gradually became alienated.

More than ten years later, the elder mentor wanted to massacre the city to refine ghosts and gods, Zuo Lengxie's persuasion was futile, so he killed him instead.

Several decades later, he became the Right Envoy of Huangquan, with a large number of followers and enormous power. He wanted to carry out reforms and set an example for his subordinates.

You Lingguang went south and became the left envoy of Huangquan. Due to their incompatible personalities, Zuo Lengxie endured it and did not take action. He promoted people with similar sentiments, and added Li Dao, the envoy of doing good, Shan Heihuai, the envoy of punishing evil, Yan Chuang, the envoy of enforcing the rules, and Que Yinshan, the envoy of transmitting strength.

Zuo Lengxie often said: The way of Huangquan, the power of reincarnation, is originally the energy of heaven and earth. If used righteously, it is righteous, and if used wickedly, it is evil. We should use the power of Huangquan to support the righteous path, punish evil and promote good, so as to live up to our cultivation and live up to the name of Huangquan.

Lingguang was defeated and fled when he encountered the enemy. Zuo Lengxie killed the Soul-Catching Envoy Luo Yuling and the Life-Taking Envoy Wu Zhong, and pretended to be his disciples. The six envoys surrendered one after another.

Lingguang came back and changed his name to Xiang Wentian. He was mean, cruel and brutal, and enjoyed abusing others.

Zuo Lengxie secretly hated him, and ordered the six emissaries: If you want to change the atmosphere in the religion, you must first get rid of Xiang Wentian!

[The Legend of Huangquan Zhengdao·Right Envoy Zuo Lengxie]

The above is the first half of Zuo Lengxie's life, in which he forbeared for many years and conspired to build Huangquan Dao into a famous and upright sect. It is very inspiring and successful. As long as the last stumbling block is killed, Huangquan Dao can get on the right track as he expected.

Right now, in front of Zuo Lengxie, besides the left envoy Xiang Wentian, there is also a problematic person - the Saint Girl.

If Xiang Wentian is touched, the Saint Girl will be alarmed.

The Taoist master does not care about worldly affairs. He will not ask whether the Huangquan Dao is good or bad, or whether there are infighting within the sect. However, the identity and status of the saint girl is very important. The Huangquan Dao believes that the Huangquan Mother Tree is the embodiment of the human world. If the saint girl is disturbed, the Taoist master will inevitably be brought out.

Zuo Lengxie racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. Given the Saint's personality, what did she like about Xiang Wentian? How did these two get together?
Just like the toad and the swan, how depressed must the saint be to let herself fall into depravity and bring misery upon herself.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Anyway, the saint can reincarnate. Even if the two really love each other, she will be a good saint again after eighteen years.

Moreover, Zuo Lengxie did not believe that the two of them were truly in love. It was very likely that it was a transaction of power for sex. Once Xiang Wentian lost power, the Saint would take the initiative to stay away from him.

"Brother, this is too ambitious. It involves Xiang Wentian, the Southern Border demons, and the evil spirits of Jile Dao. It's hard to accomplish anything big if we just rely on a few brothers."

The ugly Li Dao said in a hoarse voice: "The masters of the Soul Keeping Sect and the Bulao Mountain, these two sects have always been mysterious, have you arranged everything?"

"Success or failure depends on this one move. I have always been cautious and would not be careless."

……

Southern Xinjiang, Dilongbao.

In the elegant teahouse, there are great scholars chatting and laughing, and there are no unlearned people coming and going. One can tune the zither and read the golden scriptures here.

Zuo Lengxie entered the backyard and a winding path led him deep into the woods. He saw two masters in long gowns sitting opposite each other and drinking tea. He bowed and stepped forward: "Brother Xiao, you are so fast. Please don't blame me for being a little late."

The Brother Xiao mentioned by Zuo Lengxie is named Xiao Qiu Shui, a grandmaster of the Tongyou period of the Xiao family in Shendu. He is a nominal elder and represents the Xiao family in liaising with various parties. He travels outside all year round.

This man has a middle-aged appearance, and is a scholar with regular features. His long hair is as black as ink, lightly tied up with a jade hairpin. A few strands of hair hang down casually, adding a bit of unrestrained air.

The two met more than ten years ago. Maybe it was an accidental encounter, or it could have been deliberately arranged by Zuo Lengxie. After all, the Huangquan Dao is notorious. If one wants to clear his name and be a good person, he must have a big brother in the underworld to help him.

It's not good to be too famous and upright. People cherish their reputation and don't want to deal with evil. The Xiao family in Shendu is just right. They are both a first-class force and a royal family. With the official documents in black and white, it is convenient for them to turn over a new leaf and get on the road to becoming famous and upright.

Also, because they were members of the royal family, Zuo Lengxie was afraid that the other party would be ruthless and completely bind Huangquan Dao, so he was just a brother in name only, intending to kick away this brother with such an appetite once he got the stepping stone to the righteous path.

Screw your royal family!
We, the Huangquan Dao, are an upright martial arts sect, a clean stream among the righteous, upright, loyal and honest, and will not get involved in the disputes in your court or the world.

These are the lines after being whitewashed. Before being whitewashed, the lines of wandering for half a lifetime are indispensable.

"Hahaha, you've come at the right time, brother. Look, I'm here to introduce you to a master of the Soul Guarding Sect."

Xiao Qiushui pointed at the burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes beside him and said, "My brother Xiao Feng, when he was traveling in the martial arts world in his early years, he mistakenly met a descendant of the Soul Guarding Sect. That fellow was deceitful and pretended to be upright. My brother was quite upright, so he listened to his slander and was tricked into a large tomb by him..."

Blah blah, blah blah, to sum it up in several thousand words, Xiao Feng was harmed by a villain, and before he knew it, he learned superb tomb-robbing skills, and pretended to be a member of the Soul Guarding Sect so vividly that no one could detect the flaw.

"Zuo Mou has admired his great name for a long time, but he has lost his respect and disrespect."

Zuo Lengxie bowed and made tea himself to show that he was a guest from afar and to show his hospitality.

"No, no, I have heard of the names of the Left and Right Envoys in the Divine Capital. My brother mentioned that the Left and Right Envoys were righteous people. I did not believe it at first, but after seeing them today, it is true... it is true... that they are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Xiao Feng hesitated for a long time before finally uttering a tactful compliment.

People who are frank should speak in secret. With his square face with strong features, he is a typical leader of the righteous path. Even if he is walking underground, he is an undercover agent out of helplessness. Zuo Lengxie has such an ugly appearance that people would throw eggs and vegetable leaves at him when he walks in broad daylight. It must be difficult for him to stay in the righteous path.

Everyone knows that it’s wrong to judge people by their appearance, but then again, if you don’t have a good appearance, who would care whether you have a kind heart?

Zuo Lengxie stroked his sparse yellow beard and said with a serious expression, "People cannot choose life, but they can choose death. I am determined to help Huang Quan walk on the right path. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will never regret it until I die."

These words were so powerful and resounding that Xiao Feng felt ashamed. He smiled dryly and admitted that he judged people by their appearance and should drink three cups as a punishment.

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and drank three large bowls of boiling water.

"My two brothers, Xiang Wentian is the last and most difficult tumor to eliminate in Huangquan Dao. He was born in the Benxin Dao of Northern Qi, and his Dao name is Lingguang. He was hunted down by his fellow disciple Daoist Quexin, but he was defeated and took over his body to cultivate again. In less than two years, he reached the level of Huashen Stage..."

Zuo Lengxie looked solemn: "To be honest with you two, I have wanted to kill several times before, and I always felt an indescribable fear, as if I would die if I took action."

"The Northern Qi Benxin Dao has always had a bad reputation. Although it is a famous family, it is more evil. In Northern Qi, everyone is hating it behind its back. It is not surprising that it has such means." Xiao Qiu Shui frowned.

The Western Chu court regarded Southern Xinjiang as something in its pocket, and rounded it off, Southern Xinjiang was its own territory. Xiao Qiu Shui was naturally unhappy when a down-and-out Taoist priest from the Northern Qi Benxin Dao came to his house to beg for food and obstructed the Xiao family's plan to recover Huangquan Dao.

"He has reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage in less than two years. If we give him another two years, won't we have to hide from him?"

Xiao Feng sneered repeatedly and said righteously: "Don't worry, brother Zuo. I will never show mercy to such old demons. Even if he doesn't fall into my hands, I will slap him back to Northern Qi in one slap!"

Regardless of whether it was just a polite remark or not, Zuo Lengxie was very satisfied with the friendly and cooperative attitude, and he immediately said, "In this case, I'd like to trouble you two to condescend to pretend to be the Grandmaster of the Soul Guarding Sect and deal with Xiang Wentian."

"Of course. I want to see what kind of ability Xiang Wentian has to dare to call himself 'the King of Heaven'!" Xiao Feng rubbed his hands together, looking like a rough man in the Tongyou period with an IQ that was touching.

He has been walking underground for many years, saying one thing to one person and another thing to another person. He never shows his true nature to strangers.

"Please rest assured, Zuo is definitely not the kind of person who would kill someone by borrowing a knife. I have placed two disciples next to Xiang Wentian. There are many traps in the small cave, and these two will be the first to attack." Zuo Lengxie made a guarantee.

By the way, it was Zuo Lengxie who helped to promote the bandit nickname "Tian Wang Lao Zi". He had no other intention but to help Xiang Wentian establish an arrogant persona of "Tian Lao Er, my daddy" so that when he was walking on the road at night, he would be beaten on the head with a stick by a passing master of the Tongyou period.

Not to mention, except for Chan'er who never leaves his house and Xiang Yuan who hasn't been to southern Xinjiang for a long time, everyone who should know or shouldn't know has heard of the name of Xiang Wentian, the Left Envoy of Huangquan Road, the 'King of Heaven'.

Of course, for Xiao Feng and Xiao Qiu Shui, the reincarnated Xiang Wentian was just a Huashen Stage cultivator with the Tongyou Stage trump card, so he was nothing to worry about. The key to this trip was to eliminate several unruly forces in Southern Xinjiang.

People like the Jiledao and the demon tribe living in a corner of southern Xinjiang are both serious threats to Western Chu's plan to conquer southern Xinjiang.

There is not much to describe about the Paradise, an evil way that many young heroes in the martial arts world despise, but in their hearts they want to see it for themselves. There are too many evil women to describe it, so I won't go into details here.

Just talking about the demon tribe hiding in the hinterland of southern Xinjiang, it seems that they have occupied a small cave. No matter whether they are from famous and upright sects or evil and crooked ways, several rounds of capture have ended in failure.

I caught a lot of small fish and shrimps, but not a single big one.

Huangquan Right Envoy Zuo Lengxie personally took action, and the effect was immediately different. Huangquan Dao was the golden signboard of one of the eight evil demons. Zuo Lengxie used his reputation in the Dao as a guarantee and invited two masters of the Tongyou period of the demon clan and another master of the Jile Dao. The three families joined forces to organize a team building. Three against three, the number of people was equal, so it was not safe. Zuo Lengxie used his personal relationships to find a master of the Tongyou period from Bulao Mountain.

This is sure!

Bulao Mountain has always been mysterious. Zuo Lengxie never mentioned the name of this master. He only said that there was such a person as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Xiao family of Shendu, so as to prevent the latter from having wild thoughts and really treating Huangquan Road as a dish on the menu.

After sending Zuo Lengxie away, Xiao Qiushui said with a smile: "Brother, what do you think of this Zuo Lengxie?"

"They are just using each other, why are you watching him?"

"That can't be said. After all, he has some connection with Bu Lao Mountain."

"Brother, you are testing me here. Those juniors who have just become masters may not know this, but how can I not know it? There is no Immortal Mountain in the world. The Immortal Mountain only came into being because there were many righteous masters who hid their heads." Xiao Feng said with a big laugh.

Since ancient times, famous and upright sects have used many aliases when traveling around the world. When they encounter situations where it is inconvenient to show their true faces, they deal with them as appropriate. When doing underground work, they call themselves the Soul Guarding Sect, and when seizing opportunities, they call themselves the Bulao Mountain. Because they cover their faces, they have gained a flexible moral bottom line.

Furthermore, if it is a business involving murder and robbery, it would be the turn of the Xingxiu Palace's vest to appear.

Take Jian Xinzhai and Wushuang Palace as an example. The two families have always been at odds and often have sword fights. As the conflict escalates, one day, Menfeng Jianzun will post a bounty in Xingxiu Palace and hire a master-level assassin to assassinate Wushuang Palace Master Bai Wuyan.

Then, he turned around and accepted the order. Under the guise of being the master killer of Xingxiu Palace, he assassinated Bai Wuyan.

This is what a famous and upright family looks like!
"Brother, I know that there is no Immortal Mountain in the world. Zuo Lengxie should also know this. He did not mention the name of the Grandmaster. It is obvious that he is reminding us in the Xiao family not to be too greedy, otherwise there will be another way out of the Yellow Spring Road."

Xiao Qiushui said: "He has a way out, but he still chose our Xiao Group. I am very curious, is he betting on both sides, or is the price on the other side too high, so he uses our Xiao Group to lower the price."

"..."

"Brother, speak up!"

"Don't mention the price. It gives me a headache just thinking about it."

Xiao Feng slapped his forehead and said, "My Yuanshen oath is still there. If I want to get back at the beginning of next year, I will need your help. Don't just watch the fun then."

"Of course. Let's not talk about you and me being brothers. Just because your brother came to help me this time, I will return the favor and will not sit idly by."

Xiao Qiushui responded with a serious expression at first, and then said cheerfully: "Is the third son of the Feng family really so powerful that he managed to take away all your belongings with a scheme?"

"Alas, what a pity for my red spider lily seeds. I hope they are not wasted..."

Xiao Feng felt uncomfortable when he mentioned this experience. He waved his hands and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I was unlucky last time and almost lost my life. I hope to have a good start this year. First, I will deal with the 'king of heaven' Xiang Wentian, and then join hands with my brother to find Feng Wenshu and take back all my lost belongings!"

"It should be so. After all, the Feng family is still one of the Five Heavenly Sword Sects. If we don't get rid of this outstanding young man, he will become a serious threat in the future."

"Brother, this kid is indeed a character. Is it possible to marry him to a princess and bring him into the Xiao family? Even if he cannot be married, it would be a great strategy to sow discord." Xiao Feng asked.

"It doesn't matter if you are a child of an aristocratic family, you will not be named Xiao after all."

Xiao Qiushui shook her head and said regretfully, "If he was born in a humble family and was a commoner, with his talent and ability, it would not be wrong for him to marry a princess. Unfortunately, he is not one of them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng had no choice but to nod his head. This was indeed the truth.

……

On the other side, Zuo Lengxie left the Earth Dragon Castle and moved through space to a dilapidated Taoist temple.

Before the person landed, laughter spread: "An old friend is visiting, can I come in?"

"Please come quickly."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Lengxie walked into the Taoist temple with a smile on his face. Seeing a monk and a Taoist, he immediately bowed and greeted them: "Master Ziyang, Master Xuanji, it's been many years since we last met, but you two are still as charming as ever!"

"They are nothing compared to the powerful demons on both sides, whose reputation can stop a baby from crying!" Taoist Zi Yang said jokingly, stroking his clear beard.

Sometimes, the world is very big, and sometimes, it is surprisingly small.

In the final analysis, the world's top forces only have a small number of people in the Tongyou period. With a few more years of experience, even if you don't know each other, your friends will know each other.

Taoist Zi Yang and Zuo Leng Xie knew each other in their early years. At that year, they were both cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage. One of them traveled the world with the ambition to subdue demons and monsters, while the other carried the golden signboard of Huangquan Dao. Without saying a word, they started fighting.

As the fight went on, Taoist Zi Yang was shocked to find that Zuo Lengxie's moves were righteous, and he had used the evil methods of the Huangquan Dao to practice a set of righteous supernatural powers. He pretended to be defeated, in order to test what sinister and evil methods Zuo Lengxie would use to deal with the righteous people.

As a result, Zuo Lengxie only provoked him with words, ridiculed and mocked him, but did not take the opportunity to kill him.

Taoist Zi Yang exclaimed that it was unbelievable that Zuo Lengxie, as an elder of Huangquan Dao, was actually a good person. The two of them spoke frankly, and Zuo Lengxie stated his aspirations, and they became good friends.

Later, through the introduction of Taoist Priest Zi Yang, he met Zen Master Xuan Ji, and with the help of Buddhism, he further improved his supernatural powers.

At that time, Zuo Lengxie had only reached the Spirit Transformation Stage and was unable to change the Yellow Springs Path. Only after he became a Grandmaster did he gradually come up with plans and gathered like-minded forces.

A monk, a Taoist priest and a demon, they have a very good relationship. This time, they were invited by Zuo Lengxie to pretend to be the master of Bulao Mountain and come to help.

Therefore, when facing these two people, Zuo Lengxie's attitude was obviously much more casual, unlike when he dealt with Xiao Qiu Shui and Xiao Feng, where his words were both respectful and distant.

Also, as a precaution, he concealed the number of masters from Mount Bulao, preparing to give Xiao family a small shock to their network.

"Once Xiang Wentian is eliminated, Huangquan Dao will be able to change its appearance. Please help me!" Zuo Lengxie bowed deeply. He had been waiting for this day for too long, and it had almost become an obsession.

"If you don't ask for my permission, I would have come to subdue demons and monsters. Why do you have to pretend to be hypocritical?" Taoist Zi Yang said unhappily.

"Amitabha, good deeds and good causes will lead to good results. How can I refuse them?" Zen Master Xuan Ji clasped his hands together and responded with a smile.

"Hahaha, with your help, there is no need to worry about not being able to accomplish great things."

Zuo Lengxie was overjoyed and explained the information about the two Xiao family members, Jile Dao and the demon clan's master. The Xiao family's help in this battle was also a stepping stone for Huangquan Dao to turn over a new leaf, and the rest were the capital for Huangquan Dao to turn over a new leaf.

Huang Quan said: I want to be a good person, but my reputation is too bad, so I came here to borrow the head of my fellow villager.

At the end, Zuo Lengxie frowned and said, "To be honest with you two, Xiang Wentian is indeed an old demon. Every time I want to kill him, I feel uneasy. He must have a powerful magic weapon. We must be cautious and don't underestimate him just because he is in the Spiritual Transformation Stage."

"Don't worry, Lord Right Envoy. I have brought a treasure from the mountain gate with me!"

Taoist Zi Yang stroked his beard, with an unfathomable look on his face. He did not mention any treasures, but only said, "It is said that this treasure is a token of the Emperor Zhenwu's personal use. Although it has been passed down to this day, its power is far less than it was back then, but it is more than enough to deal with Xiang Wentian. He can't cause any big trouble."

"The Taoist priest is steady!" Zuo Lengxie was overjoyed and felt more confident.

Those who are righteous have many helpers, and those who do good deeds have many supporters. With so many righteous friends around, there is no need to worry about not being able to get rid of Xiang Wentian, and no need to worry about not being able to walk on the right path on the Huangquan Road.

This is sure!

"This Xiang Wentian is so bold that he actually dares to call himself the 'King of Heaven'. My ancestor is only the Nine Heavens Demon-Dangling Patriarch..." Taoist Zi Yang was indignant, his tone full of contempt and disdain for Xiang Wentian.

He said a lot of nonsense, but it was not business as usual. It was just a fan speaking up for his idol.

Zuo Lengxie looked at his nose with his eyes, and then at his heart with his nose. He did not explain anything, and nodded repeatedly: "This dog thief is indeed arrogant, and he is not worthy of being a son of man. Only by killing this beast can the underworld have peace."

"good."

"I want to see what a king like him can do in front of the emperor!"

Ten thousand words, please give me a monthly vote!
