One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 140 139: Secret Mission

Zhao Fuyun went to Wuliangyuan the next day.

The head of Wuliang Academy, Wu Weishan, summoned him. This was the first time he met the head of Wuliang Academy. The last time he met was the deputy head Fei Yu.

They looked at each other, but Zhao Fuyun didn't look at him much, and just bowed his head to greet him.

In his eyes, he couldn't tell Wu Weishan's age, but his loose eyelids and obvious neck wrinkles meant he should be quite old.

The other party looked at Zhao Fuyun for a while longer and said, "It seems that Junior Sister Xun's recommendation for you to enter Tiandu Mountain is indeed a good one. Many people have entered the mountain but returned empty-handed. Even if they have gained something, it is not good enough to be mentioned. Such people have no talent for cultivation, which is really a waste."

Of course Zhao Fuyun didn’t know that there were more things happening behind this, but he thought so.

"When you went to Guangyuan Prefecture, Junior Brother Fei asked you to collect the relationships of the various families in Guangyuan Prefecture and wrote them into a book, but you didn't achieve any results. Junior Sister Xun recommended you to go into the mountains to gain enlightenment. Some people say that although you were in danger, you did not complete the task assigned by the academy."

“However, everyone has seen the talent you have shown since you established your foundation. We introduced the merit counting in Tiandu Mountain only to prevent some vulgar people from tarnishing Tiandu Mountain, not to stop disciples like you.” Wu Weishan said.

Zhao Fuyun didn't know what to say for a moment and could only bow.

"Last night, my grandson Huichun said that he saw someone from Jiguana Ridge using mysterious, majestic, and swift escape techniques as fast as a rainbow across the sky. That must be the escape technique you learned in the mountains," Wu Weishan asked.

Zhao Fuyun thought about it for a while before he realized that the "Hui Chun" he was talking about should be the monk in the green Taoist robe who didn't say a word last night.

"I'm lucky to have gained some insights, and I'm worthy of the kindness of the mountain sect." Zhao Fuyun said.

"Haha, you are too modest. Junior Sister Xun's vision is definitely not wrong. Come, this is your mission objective this time when you go down the mountain."

Wu Weishan took a scroll and unfolded it to reveal a painting. On the painting was a person's face, name, and the magic spells he had cast. Other than that, there was nothing else.

"The names and appearances above cannot be taken seriously. Of course, you only need to remember their spirit. If you can find them, then find them. If you can't find them, that's fine. But when you go down the mountain to travel this time, if you meet fellow disciples, or people who have a connection with the mountains, then help them if you can. Every little bit of help is the result of our fate." Wu Weishan said.

Zhao Fuyun naturally agreed, then took the task documents and left.

He did not stay in the mountains either. He went to the lower courtyard, but the familiar Wen Bo, Wen Xun and Yang Liuqing still had not returned.

He knew that there had been a major battle in Nanling, and Wen Bo and Wen Xun were there, so he didn't know what the situation was.

However, as long as there was no news of their death, nothing would happen.

When Yang Liuqing heard that he was recruited by the Inspection Office, he didn't know what he was doing.

He simply came to the dormitory where he originally lived and looked inside. He saw a woman in a sky blue Taoist robe sitting under the eaves reading a book.

Judging from the appearance of the book, Zhao Fuyun could be sure that it was the practice notes he left in the room.

She felt as if someone was watching her, and looked out the door, but there was nothing.

The moment she looked up, Zhao Fuyun had already disappeared into the sunlight.

Others can turn into light and escape, but now hiding in the sunlight and making oneself invisible is just a little trick.

The moment the woman raised her head, Zhao Fuyun saw clearly that she was a pretty girl, but judging by the simple accessories she wore, she was not from a noble family.

He believed that his practice notes would definitely be helpful to her.

But he never thought about going in.

It is only natural for people to revisit old places. He flew into the sunlight and went down the mountain silently.

This time, he decided to go somewhere first.

Guangyuan Prefecture, there to further verify the name information given to him by Dean Wu Weishan.

Then go to Pinghai River, the middle reaches, and Jiuli Bay.

That is Liang Daozi’s hometown.

He has kept this thought in his heart all along.

But when he was not far from the mountain, someone blocked his way.

Suddenly, a sword light appeared in the cloud in front of him, cutting through the cloud where he was. His body appeared in the cloud. Before he could make a move, the person opposite him had already appeared.

It turned out to be Ma Sanhu.

Zhao Fuyun greeted him in mid-air and said, "Greetings, Headmaster."

Ma Sanhu also looked at Zhao Fuyun, and then said: "The true disciples who go down the mountain to travel will receive some tasks. Some are received in Wuliangyuan, and some are received in Xunchayuan. I also have a task for you."

"Of course, I have already assigned you the task of hunting down the person, so I shouldn't assign you any other tasks. However, this person may be difficult to find, so I will give you another task."

After hearing what Ma Sanhu said, Zhao Fuyun didn't understand what he wanted to do, but he was sure that such a covert action would definitely not be easy.

"Excuse me, may I ask what this is about?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"There are many disciples who left Tiandu Mountain, whether it is the upper or lower house. You don't need to do anything deliberately. I just need you to know that if someone harms someone in the name of Tiandu Mountain, you need to eliminate them to set things right."

After Ma Sanhu finished speaking, he gave Zhao Fuyun a list with some places marked in red. When he looked at the surnames on it, he felt strange.

"The areas marked in red are where you need to focus your attention. You can monitor them until I take back your life. You can report any suspicious situations to me."

As Zhao Fuyun listened to Ma Sanhu's words, the strange ripples in his heart turned into waves.

He could see that the families marked in red were all aristocratic families living in the mountains, with deep roots.

"Master, I am just a small foundation-building cultivator in the mountain gate. I have a shallow understanding of things and people. I am afraid I cannot take on such an important task." Zhao Fuyun did not want to be involved in the disputes in the mountain.

There are already so many disputes in this world, and in the fairyland in the mountains with singing birds and fragrant flowers and shrouded in clouds and mist, there are so many secret fights, which makes him want to avoid them.

"You don't need to do anything. You just need to be careful when traveling, especially pay attention to the matters of the Daluo Secret Sect." Ma Sanhu said.

Zhao Fuyun's heart was moved, and he couldn't help but say: "I will do my best for the matters of the Daluo Secret Sect, but I am afraid I can't do anything about the matters in this booklet."

"Hmph, I, the first person to suspect that Yang Qianguang's death was caused by someone in the mountain leaking the information, which led to him being surrounded and killed by the Qianshan evil spirits. Everything was done for the stability of the mountain gate." Ma Sanhu actually explained.

Zhao Fuyun pondered, he knew that Yang Qianguang was a Purple Mansion cultivator from the Inspection Institute, who died in the war between Nanling and Qianshan Kingdom.

He looked at the fierceness in Ma Sanhu's eyes. Although he felt that he had always been so fierce, he couldn't help but still fear in his heart that this man would do something dangerous.

Finally, he couldn't help but say: "In this case, disciple will pay attention to this."
