Chapter 349: Zhao Gongming's Death Becomes a Mystery

Dad, Mom!

Young Zhao Gongming smiled, looking at Ao Yifan and Yunxiao Xianzi, and shouted:

Hearing this, Yunxiao Xianzi waved her hand and said, "Senior brother, since you have been reincarnated with your memories, you may still address me as junior sister according to our past-life relation."

"Mother, do you no longer want Gongming?"

Young Zhao Gongming blinked and said.

"This, no!"

After all, he is her son connected by blood; although she knows he is her senior brother reincarnated, Yunxiao Xianzi still feels reluctant.

"Hehe, no more joking!"

Young Zhao Gongming chuckled and said, "Junior sister, please arrange a quiet dwelling for me; this time, facing death to be reborn, my insights on the Great Dao have deepened, and I need to seclude myself to digest what I have gained."

"Sure!"

Yunxiao Xianzi nodded, then waved her hand, letting the people outside the cave abode enter.

"What is this? Senior brother!"

Upon seeing Young Zhao Gongming's appearance, Qiongxiao Xianzi walked over with a curious expression and suddenly reached out to pinch his face.

"Haha, I didn't expect that senior brother's childhood look was quite cute."

Qiongxiao Xianzi laughed heartily.

The pinched Young Zhao Gongming's face instantly darkened; he wanted to break free, but he had just succeeded in reincarnation and still had no cultivation, so he was no match for the Quasi-Saint strength of Qiongxiao Xianzi and could only endure her rough handling.

Beside them, Yuan Feng also watched this scene with curiosity.

You should know that in her era, the concept of the six paths of reincarnation did not exist.

Sometimes, when one dies, it's just death, with nothing left.

"I never expected that the little girl of the Witch Clan back then could actually achieve this."

Yuan Feng had also seen Hou Tu Niangniang before.

Seeing her former junior surpass her made her feel quite displeased.

Suddenly, she recalled the method Ao Yifan had mentioned to her about increasing strength by bearing children, and she couldn't help but feel a bit anticipatory.

"One day, I will also set foot in that realm to see the scenery of the Sacred Realm!"

Yuan Feng secretly thought: "Moreover, this is also to strengthen our Phoenix Clan; once a great clan of the Three Realms, how can only me and Xuan'er suffice?"

In Yuan Feng's heart, she had already automatically excluded the Golden-winged Great Peng from the Phoenix Clan.

After all, that foolish son is truly a blemish on her life.

Thinking about strengthening the Phoenix Clan, Yuan Feng's gaze suddenly fell on Kong Xuan beside her.

"Xuan'er now seems capable of shouldering the great task of strengthening the Phoenix Clan."

Noticing his mother's gaze directed at him, Kong Xuan's face was full of confusion.

"Mother, what do you mean by looking at me like that?"

……

Young Zhao Gongming was sent to the secluded cultivation place; presumably, he will not leave seclusion until he regains his former cultivation.

Suddenly, Ao Yifan received a message from Wen Dao Ren saying that Duo Bao Dao Ren, leading a group of Sect of the Cutting immortals, had ascended to the Western Paradise.

It was said that they went to the Western Teaching to seek an explanation regarding Zhao Gongming's matter.

The result was that the Two Sages of the West outright denied any involvement, and in a fit of rage they immediately attacked Duo Bao Dao Ren and the Sect of the Cutting immortals.

Although Duo Bao Dao Ren's methods were formidable, they were no match for a sage.

Every few rounds, Zhunti Dao Ren would seize him.

However, Zhunti Dao Ren did not lose his reason; he merely captured these people and dared not really kill them.

Now, Duo Bao Dao Ren and the Sect of the Cutting immortals have been imprisoned in the Western Teaching Forbidden Land.

"This, the matter seems to have become interesting; it seems that there are still some things we don't know about Daoist Zhao's death!"

Having seen the message from Wen Dao Ren, Ao Yifan's mouth curled into a smile.

"What's up?"

Jiutian Xuan Nu asked puzzledly: "Husband, do you feel that there is some hidden truth behind Daoist Zhao's death?"

"Yes, things are not as simple as we originally thought."

Ao Yifan said: "Originally, the blame for Daoist Zhao's death pointed entirely at the Two Sages of the West, but their reaction is off; it seems this time they are truly being framed."

"This, the Two Sages of the West are being framed?"

Jiutian Xuan Nu widened her eyes and said: "If it wasn't them, who else would do such a thing?"

"Look, this is called reputation!"

Within the Three Realms, whenever there is some shady affair of unknown origin, the first thing everyone thinks of is the Two Sages of the West.

There's no helping it; they have really done too much.

However, from the way the Two Sages of the West treated the Sect of the Cutting immortals who came to them, Ao Yifan feels that this time they might truly have been framed.

In Ao Yifan's view, if the Zhao Gongming affair was truly done by the Two Sages of the West,

then they surely prepared to completely sever ties with the Sect of the Cutting, so for those Sect of the Cutting immortals who came to them, it would certainly not be as simple as just arresting them.

Duo Bao Dao Ren is the eldest senior brother of the Sect of the Cutting; not killing him is understandable, but the other Sect of the Cutting immortals—if the Two Sages of the West killed them, although it might sever ties with the Sect of the Cutting, if they remained in the Western Paradise and did not come out, even if the Tong Tian Sect Leader came to attack, the Two Sages of the West would still have no problem defending themselves.

But the problem is, this time the Two Sages of the West didn't kill a single person.

This is not like their style!

This also means that this time the Two Sages of the West might truly have been framed.

And in order not to be used as a pawn, the Two Sages of the West refrained from issuing lethal orders against the Sect of the Cutting immortals.

"It's not those two bald donkeys of the Western Teaching; who else could it be? The Three Pure Ones? No way, or perhaps that woman Nüwa—she doesn't seem to like causing such trouble."

Yuan Feng said: "Could it be that little lady of yours in the underworld?"

Ping Xin? Impossible, what relation does she have with me—how could she possibly act against Fellow Daoist Zhao?

Ao Yifan shook his head.

He suspected it was done by Tong Tian Jiao Zhu himself; it's impossible to suspect Hou Tu Niangniang did it.

This—could it be that Tong Tian Jiao Zhu himself did it?

Ao Yifan's heart jolted.

Sometimes, the most impossible things are often what everyone easily overlooks.

As for the saints' thoughts, aside from Hou Tu Niangniang, who shares a Guan Bao bond with Ao Yifan, he simply cannot fathom them.

Let's go—let's make a trip to Western Teaching; right now Duo Bao Dao Ren and others have been captured, Tong Tian Jiao Zhu surely won't stand by idly; let's go and see the excitement.

Ao Yifan said.

Hearing this, the women nodded.

For these quasi-saints, a scene of saints contending is absolutely greatly beneficial.

Besides, the aura from the saints' dueling can also better help them consolidate and swiftly raise their cultivation.

This is especially important for Yunxiao Xianzi, who has just given birth.

Come on, get on the carriage!

With a wave of his hand, Ao Yifan summoned his Three Worlds Treasure Car.

Whether intentional or not, Ao Yifan placed Kong Xuan at his side.

Moreover, the size of the Three Worlds Treasure Car is controlled as Ao Yifan wishes.

Thus, the originally spacious Three Worlds Treasure Car gave Ao Yifan the illusion of being cramped like in his past life on a bus.

Hmm, not bad!
