"Abbot Li, please wait, please wait... No need to see me off, no need to see me off..." Outside the gate of Yunxiao Palace, Qian Bushi repeatedly bowed to Li Jingxin, who had come to see him off, with a smile.

"Director Qian..."

“Oh... why are you being so formal, old abbot? I’ve already said, just call me Yiwen.”

"Well... Brother Yiwen, have a safe journey. I won't see you off any further!" Li Jingxin stood in front of the mountain gate and bowed again. Unbeknownst to him, the way the two addressed each other had subtly changed.

Watching Qian Bushi and his group disappear into the distance, Li Jingxin turned around with a calm expression and returned to the temple with a few accompanying Taoist priests. In his mind, however, he kept pondering the previous conversation. He thought that it seemed necessary to inform his Grandmaster Uncle about today's events...

On the mountain path, Qian Bushi, who was descending the mountain, gradually lost his smile, but still had a hint of excitement on his face.

Chapter 279 An Huiling Enters Linzhou

The usually tight-lipped Abbot Li eventually uttered some useful words. Although they still sounded full of esoteric wit and difficult-to-understand esoteric theories, this time, unlike his last visit, Abbot Li seemed much more candid.

Especially in the Sulu Island anomaly that is currently attracting the most attention from all parties, in Qian Bushi's view, Abbot Li is almost naming it as an incident caused by "cult rituals," also known as "sexual cults."

In fact, he had left some information with Li Jingxin, not all of it. The information he left behind mainly consisted of testimonies from Wei Chengguang and Zhu Yingwei, especially the conversation between the two Taoist priests.

Overall, this response was made after some discussion within the Bureau of Religious Affairs. It also involved some subtle psychological factors: one official was worried that Li Jingxin might be making unfounded claims, given that Taoist priests often spoke of mysterious and esoteric things, making it difficult to discern the truth. Therefore, it was necessary to keep some trump cards up for verification, to see just how real Yunxiao Mountain truly was.

Another reason is simply out of caution. After all, out of a sense of apprehension about a powerful and unknown force, some people have expressed the need to be wary of Yunxiao Mountain and to keep a backup plan. Even now, no one can say for sure whether there is something unknown behind Yunxiao Mountain...

Overall, Qian Bushi was satisfied with the results of this trip. Abbot Li's predictions were highly consistent with the information obtained so far. It seems that those folk cults, cults, and illegal rituals that were previously considered mere trifles actually concealed extremely high risks...

What pleased Qian Bushi even more was that there was indeed something behind Yunxiao Mountain. Perhaps, Abbot Li himself was a hidden master, who knows?

Since last year, the strange events and mysterious figures that have appeared in various places have made the workload of the Religious Affairs Bureau much larger than before. The once quiet department has suddenly become twice as busy. Many powerful departments have sent coordination letters and made various requests for cooperation. However, faced with these sudden situations, the Religious Affairs Bureau is even a little confused, let alone figuring out where to start.

Now, Qian Bushi is finally starting to make sense of things. This is all thanks to the speculation brought about by the "Xiao Zhenren's ascension incident." It seems that the stories behind these ancient sects are not as simple as they appear...

After seeing Qian Bushi off, Li Jingxin returned to his study thoughtfully, dismissed his disciples, and silently reviewed the conversation that had just taken place.

Cults and blood sacrifices pose significant risks and hidden dangers, and it is indeed necessary to remind those in power to be vigilant. This was a consensus reached when he discussed it with his grandmaster uncle. His grandmaster uncle did not object, and he would reveal some information about this to the relevant authorities at an appropriate time. This would also enhance the status of Yunxiao Temple in the eyes of the relevant departments.
