I was selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Taoist ancestor?

The helicopter slowly landed on the rooftop platform of the South City Night Watchmen branch.

The strong winds whipped up by the propellers made it almost impossible for the several staff members waiting on the platform to stand.

The hatch opened, and President Qin jumped out first. Then he turned around and reached out to help Lan Cailing behind him.

Lan Cailing didn't even look at the hand, and nimbly jumped down.

The bloodstains on her face had been wiped away, and the bruises on her forehead were still there, but she seemed to have regained her composure.

But those eyes still held a complex mix of emotions.

Horrified, confused, incredulous...

Lan Nianzhen and Yin Jian followed behind and also got off the plane.

Lan Nianzhen glanced at her mother with concern, then hesitated to speak.

Yin Jian looked completely bewildered.

He still doesn't understand what that invisible barrier is, or why only he and Jin Hao can get through it.

"Lord of Lan Dong, this way please."

President Qin gestured for them to enter the building and took the elevator to the core conference room on the third basement level.

The atmosphere in the elevator was quiet and somewhat oppressive.

Lan Cailing stared at her reflection in the elevator door and suddenly spoke, "Qin Chengzhong, you Night Watchmen... did you already know?"

President Qin remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"I know a little."

"Some?" Lan Cailing turned her head and stared at him. "Just some?"

President Qin smiled wryly: "Lord Lan Dong, what we know is only the tip of the iceberg."

Lan Cailing stopped speaking, but her gaze became more complicated.

We arrived at the conference room.

"Please sit down."

President Qin waved his hand and sat down in the main seat.

Lan Cailing sat opposite him, while Lan Nianzhen and Yin Jian sat next to her.

President Qin first took a sip of tea before slowly speaking:

"Lord of Blue Cave, first of all, on behalf of the Night's Watch headquarters, I formally apologize to you for today's offense."

Lan Cailing waved her hand, her tone softening considerably: "Let's skip the formalities, Commander Qin, I just want to know the truth."

"it is good."

President Qin nodded and said seriously:

"Lord Lan Dong, what I am about to say is currently the top secret of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"I hope you can understand and keep this confidential."

Lan Cailing nodded: "I know the rules."

"This story begins about two weeks ago..."

For the next half hour, President Qin gave a detailed explanation of everything regarding Li Jun.

From Wang Hu buying the peach wood sword in the live stream, to the amazing effects of the amulet, and then to the statue of the deity at Longhu Mountain bowing and the thunder shaking the heavens...

President Qin described each event in great detail.

From the very beginning, Yin Jian's brain went blank, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Lan Cailing and Lan Nianzhen were completely dumbfounded.

The expressions on the mother and daughter's faces changed from initial doubt to shock, and finally to horror.

Especially when President Qin said, "One Five Thunder Talisman can trigger nine bolts of heavenly lightning, instantly killing a half-step S-level silver-armored corpse," Lan Cailing jumped up from her chair.

"impossible!"

She blurted out, "Qin Chengzhong, are you making this up to fool me?!"

President Qin gave a wry smile: "Lord Lan, do you think I would need to make up such a story to deceive you?"

Lan Cailing opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

She sat down again, her expression shifting.

After a long pause, she slowly spoke: "So... that barrier in Lu County was the work of that Taoist priest Li?"

"Very likely." President Qin nodded. "Besides Master Li, I can't think of anyone else who could have set up such a scheme."

Lan Cailing fell silent.

She recalled the embarrassing scene of her crashing headfirst into the barrier at the border of Lu County.

The strength of that barrier was simply unbelievable.

Even Xuanming Daoist, a peak Refining Spirit cultivator, couldn't break through it, so she, who mainly cultivated Gu techniques, was completely helpless.

What level of skill is that?

Lan Cailing dared not think about it.

All she knew was that the current environment was far less conducive to spiritual energy than in ancient times.

Spiritual practice is arduous; every step forward is like walking on thin ice.

Let alone the legendary feats of moving mountains and filling seas, or plucking stars and seizing the moon, even achieving the "flying on a sword" described in ancient texts requires one to be among the best in the Void Refinement Realm.

Moreover, its power is greatly reduced.

But this Taoist priest Li...

A single talisman can summon nine bolts of heavenly lightning, and the enchanted barrier can cover an entire county, intelligently identifying whether someone is a cultivator...

This method was beyond her comprehension.

Could it be...?

Lan Cailing recalled Li Daoshi's nickname for Douyin – "Riding an Ox Out of Hangu Pass".

The implication of this nickname is too obvious.

Hangu Pass...

Leaving Hangu Pass to the west, purple clouds rise from the east for 30,000 li.

Is it...

If it really is that person...

Lan Cailing's hand trembled, and a few drops of tea splashed out, scalding her and making her shudder.

"Lord of Blue Cave?"

President Qin's voice pulled Lan Cailing back from her thoughts.

She looked up and saw President Qin looking at her with a helpless expression.

"Now you know why we stopped you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Cailing instinctively replied, "I'm going to Lu County to visit my in-laws, how could I possibly..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

She stared at President Qin, her voice a little dry: "The list...was it decided by that senior?"

President Qin nodded.

"After reading the first draft of 'An Introduction to Magic Techniques,' Master Li felt that some of the techniques were not suitable for beginners, so he made some cuts."

He paused, his tone complicated: "We were worried that you might impulsively offend Master Li because of this, so... that's why this misunderstanding happened today."

Lan Cailing gave a wry smile after hearing this.

She naturally understood President Qin's subtext.

What "collision," what "mishap"...

They were clearly afraid that she wouldn't know her place and would cause trouble in Lu County, only to be casually killed by that Taoist priest Li!

Although Lan Cailing is the chief of the Miao Jiang witchcraft lineage, she is now one of the most powerful cultivators in the Great Xia Dynasty.

But in front of that senior, they would probably be no different from ants.

The Night's Watch wasn't stopping her.

This is to save her.

Once she understood this, Lan Cailing's displeasure and resentment caused by being blocked by the helicopter vanished instantly.

"Commander-in-Chief Qin." Lan Cailing stood up and bowed solemnly. "I was reckless today."

President Qin quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "Master Lan, you're too kind. It's just our duty."

The two sat down again, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

Lan Cailing thought for a moment and asked, "Then...when will this barrier dissipate?"

President Qin shook his head: "I don't know."

He paused, then said with some doubt, "However, based on our previous observations, there was no such barrier in Lu County before; it seems to have appeared only today."

"today……"

Lan Cailing was stunned for a moment, and a terrible thought involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

This wasn't the case before; it only started happening today, and it only stops cultivators, not ordinary people...

Thinking of this, Lan Cailing looked at her daughter beside her and Yin Jian, who had a blank expression.

Could it be that Master Li is against this marriage?

What should we do?!
