Chapter 396 Recent Developments in the Three Regions, News from the Luo Clan

After the old beggar finished speaking, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Chen Gou'er slept soundly, never waking up since he ate the Holy Spirit.

Li Wushou slowly got up and walked outside. The golden core on his right side shrank and flew to the hand of his primordial spirit on his left side, and then they both entered Li Wushou's body.

Outside the cave, as always, blood-red clouds loomed.

Upon seeing Li Wushou emerge, the Tree Goddess and the Paper Goddess respectfully greeted him:
"Greetings, Second Master!"

Li Wushou nodded slightly, then looked slightly taken aback.

Two beautiful figures, each with a graceful bearing, stood at the entrance of the cave, one on the left and one on the right.

He recognized the tree goddess with gray hair and a plain dress, and the woman next to her, dressed in a green blouse and pleated skirt, tall and plump, with a white veil on her face, was the paper goddess.
After taking a closer look, it really is!
But the other person's appearance and the contours of their eyes and brows look somewhat familiar.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Wushou finally remembered who he resembled: a combination of Zhu Liuli and the Wusheng Envoy from Wufang City.

A slight smile appeared on Li Wushou's lips as he praised:
"Your drawing skills have improved quite a bit. Give me Bayon's letter."

"Yes, Second Master!"

The Paper Goddess smiled and nodded, her already swollen chest becoming even firmer. After glancing at the Tree Goddess, she quickly handed the letter in her hand to Li Wushou.

The paper goddess was initially quite apprehensive because the face she drew had always looked somewhat stiff, which was why she hadn't changed the figure.

After much thought, the Paper Goddess suddenly remembered the white veil that Wusheng used to wear to cover his face.

If your drawing skills aren't good enough, make up for it with costumes.

Sure enough, even the second master praised her, which made her very happy.

Seeing this, the Tree Goddess pursed her lips, but considering Li Wushou's praise, she managed to suppress the urge to say "fake."

Li Wushou took the letter and quickly scanned it, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

After a long while, he composed himself and said to the Paper Goddess and the Tree Goddess:
"You should all go back to the Three Immortals Pavilion and rest!"

After saying that, he took the two back to the Three Immortals Pavilion.

With ink swirling at his fingertips, Li Wushou transformed back into the form of a hungry ghost, taking a step and disappearing from the spot.

Bayon House in Louvre

Li Wushou held a cup of tea, with Ba Rong, Lu Xingzhi, and Qu Jiang sitting beside him.

After drinking it all in one gulp, Li Wushou asked Bayon, who was standing beside him:

"So, does that mean Hui Xuan really has no primordial spirit left at Queshen Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Bayon's expression turned serious, and he put down his teacup and replied:

"That's right. Fellow Daoist Lu and I have asked many people on Sparrow God Mountain. Nine days ago, the Sparrow Spirit of Hui Xuan suddenly roared, 'The Azure Lotus Envoy has misled me,' and then flew up towards Luofu City. However, before it even left Sparrow God Mountain, the Sparrow Spirit suddenly lost control, went mad, and killed many people."

Sparrow God Mountain summoned the Sparrow Lord's Dharma Body, which devoured the Sparrow Spirit.

The Sparrow Lord issued a decree, saying that Hui Xuan's primordial spirit had decayed outside, which caused the Sparrow Spirit to go out of control. He ordered Sparrow God Mountain to thoroughly investigate the cause of Hui Xuan's death.

Now, guided by me and Fellow Daoist Lu, Sparrow God Mountain suspects that Hui Xuan was bewitched by the Azure Lotus Envoy and entered the Domain River, ultimately falling victim to the Blood Buddha's ambush.

"Well done!" Li Wushou praised, then poured himself another cup of tea.

After taking a sip, I found the situation with Hui Xuan quite novel.

It seems that the method of sealing spirits is indeed very dangerous. Even the Nascent Soul stage seems to be different from others. When the original spirit died, the Sparrow Spirit that had been fused with it immediately backfired.

Indeed, no power is gained out of thin air. The method of sealing spirits leads to rapid attainment, but the backlash is also more dangerous.

This result was somewhat unexpected for Li Wushou, but it was good news for him, saving him a lot of trouble.

"What is the current situation of the Blood Buddha Temple in the Three Realms?"

Upon hearing this, Qu Jiang, who was standing nearby, replied:
"When I sent the Wuxiang Daoist back to the Fubo Domain, the Water Elemental God immediately descended upon the Blood Buddha Temple to demand an explanation, but the Blood Buddha Temple was already deserted. All the monks of the Blood Buddha Temple in the twelve continents of the outer sea died in a single day due to exhaustion of their life essence."

After Qu Jiang finished speaking, Lu Xingzhi picked up the conversation and replied:
"There are not many monks in the Blood Buddha Temple within the Sealed Spirit Path, but they are all dead, just like in the Twelve Continents. As for the Central Region, according to the information returned by Fellow Daoist Zizhen, the situation in the territory of Great Venerable Yanwu is similar. As for the area of ​​the other Great Venerable Xuanhuang Temple Master in the Central Region, it is currently unknown."

Zi Zhen and Wu Xia both belong to the forces under the command of Yan Wu Da Zun. When they returned to the Central Region, Li Wu Shou instructed the two of them to contact Lu Xing Zhi, so that they could also follow the path of Zhi Zhu from Hungry Ghost Mountain in parallel.

Upon hearing Lu Xingzhi's reply, Li Wushou nodded slightly.

This was roughly what he had expected.

With the help of the five Nascent Soul cultivators, the news of Blood Buddha's attack on the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Three Realms has aroused public outrage in the Three Realms, and it is inevitable that the Three Realms will wipe out the forces of Blood Buddha Temple.

But did all the monks scattered across different regions exhaust their life essence in a single day?
What a ruthless method of "everyone becoming a Buddha"!
However, the old beggar should be quite happy with this result.

After a moment's thought, Li Wushou asked Bayon again:

"What do you mean by saying in your letter that Fenglingdao might not have time to search for the Blood Buddha recently?"

Upon hearing this, Bayon composed himself and replied:
"Reporting to the Mountain Lord, the western end of the Domain River disappears into the ground without a trace. At the junction between the Sealed Spirit Path and the Central Domain, there is a barrier called the 'Blazing Sun Mountain Range'."

Recently, the mountains have been ablaze with fiery energy and strange phenomena have been occurring frequently. Many people from the Sealed Spirit Path have gone there, and it's said that even a direct disciple from Sparrow God Mountain has descended the mountain to go.

As soon as Bayon finished speaking, Lu Xingzhi added from the other side:

"This phenomenon was also mentioned in Fellow Daoist Zizhen's reply. The Yanwu Grand Venerable's forces also paid attention to the situation in the Yanyang Mountains. However, they first noticed that the Xuanhuang Temple Master's forces had stationed there before they discovered the strange phenomenon there."

Because Grand Venerable Yanwu is still in seclusion, we have not yet received his decree. However, some of Grand Venerable Yanwu's subordinates are already preparing to station themselves there.

At this point, Lu Xingzhi paused, then continued:

"In addition, Fellow Daoist Zizhen also mentioned the Luo clan, which the Mountain Lord is paying close attention to. There is a branch of the Luo clan that has settled outside the Yanyang Mountains, and the Qinglian Saint Envoy came from there."

This branch of the Luo clan is said to have originally settled in the territory of the Xuanhuang Temple, but moved to settle outside the Yanyang Mountains hundreds of years ago.

Therefore, strictly speaking, this branch of the Luo clan had a good relationship with the Xuanhuang Temple Master and the Yanwu Grand Venerable's subordinates; however, they did not get involved in the trivial matters of the Central Region and rarely interacted with outsiders.

After listening quietly to Lu Xingzhi finish speaking, Li Wushou nodded silently.

This matches his impression of the Luo family, except that it's quite a coincidence that the Luo family also settled there?

Or was this commotion actually caused by Luo?
Li Wushou's first instinct was that it was no coincidence that the Luo family had settled there!
Judging from the Luo family in Fubo Domain, all the Luo family members who travel outside are carrying a mission, and this mission almost always revolves around Wu Qinghe!
Could it be that the "Dao Fruit" that Wu Qinghe needs is also located in Yanyang Mountain?
The strange phenomena of Yanyang Mountain were produced during the process of refining the Dao Fruit.

After pondering for a long time, Li Wushou sighed softly:
"This is really troublesome!"
