Chapter 919: A visit from the Daoist School

Several years ago, when Zhao Gao was still in charge of Luo Wang, he had not taken Gai Nie seriously.

Even though Gai Nie came from the Guigu School of Vertical and Horizontal Alliances, and throughout the generations, the disciples of Guigu had all been extraordinary people, in Zhao Gao's view, they were nothing more than that.

No matter how strong Gai Nie was, he was just a swordsman and only possessed some personal courage.

And as for swordsmen, there were countless numbers of them in Luo Wang. If one were to find a few Heaven-grade first-class assassins and have them launch a suicidal attack on Gai Nie, they could take care of Gai Nie.

However, the winds and clouds changed.

No one had expected that one day, he would be stripped of his power by Ying Zheng, banished from being the master of Luo Wang to this godforsaken place, and become a nominal Commandery Governor.

And the one who replaced him and became the new master of Luo Wang was none other than Gai Nie.

When Gai Nie first became the master of Luo Wang, Zhao Gao, because he could not forget the great power of Luo Wang, used his influence within Luo Wang and once caused quite a bit of trouble for Gai Nie.

As it turned out, Gai Nie's decisiveness exceeded his expectations; he actually launched a purge of Luo Wang directly.

For a time, the forces that Zhao Gao had developed after operating in Luo Wang for many years suffered heavy losses. Although there were still some people who could be used by him, he did not dare to let those people be exposed, but instead had them hide in the shadows.

Now, upon learning that Gai Nie, the person who had replaced him, had come to Jiuyuan Commandery, Zhao Gao immediately gave birth to intense murderous intent.

Ying Zheng sent Gai Nie here and let Gai Nie, this master of Luo Wang, personally escort certain items, which was enough to prove the importance of these items. Zhao Gao had to figure out what use these items had. If they were truly as Ying Zheng said in the letter and could change the direction of this war, he had to make preparations early.

At the same time, this might also be an opportunity.

An opportunity to let Gai Nie die in Jiuyuan Commandery.

Jiuyuan Commandery was the frontline of this war, and it was chaotic. Although Gai Nie had some martial arts, it would not be a strange thing even if he died.

……

Lishan, within the Yin-Yang School headquarters.

After Su Xuan returned, he did not rush to cultivate, but instead sorted out everything that had happened in the two years he had been out to sea.

On this day, two more people came to visit the Yin-Yang School.

One of them was Xiao Ling of the Daoist School.

In the past, in order to explore the whereabouts of the last portion of the Seven Luminaries of the Azure Dragon, Su Xuan had ascended Mount Taiyi once again. Xiao Ling had pleaded for one thing before Su Xuan, and in the end, Su Xuan agreed to his request to go to the Yin-Yang School to see his younger sister.

When the Mirage went to sea, Xiao Ling's younger sister, Xiao Yi, followed Su Xuan out to sea, leaving the Central Plains for a full two years.

Now that the Mirage had returned, it was not a strange thing for Xiao Ling to come to see his long-missed younger sister.

Although it seemed somewhat incongruous for a person of the Daoist School to come to the headquarters of the Yin-Yang School, after all, the two factions had been at daggers drawn like fire and water in the past and were old rivals, but as for Xiao Ling, because Su Xuan had spoken out long ago, he could be considered a special case.

Not to mention Xiao Ling, who came to the Yin-Yang School to see his sister, the other person was the true heavyweight.

The high-ranking expert of the Daoist Heavenly Sect, Beimingzi, was also the strongest person of the Daoist Heavenly and Human Sects.

"I never thought you would actually have the courage to come here. Aren't you afraid that I will throw a cup as a signal and let the many experts of the Yin-Yang School surround and kill you～～?"

Seeing Beimingzi, Su Xuan spoke indifferently.

Beimingzi's appearance had not changed much compared to the past; after all, he was already an old man, so even if he were older, he couldn't be much older.

Beimingzi's expression remained unchanged as he said: "If you really want to kill me, why would you need the people of the Yin-Yang School to attack together? Your Excellency Xuantian alone would suffice!"

"That is also true!"

Su Xuan acknowledged Beimingzi's words.

He then asked Beimingzi: "What is the reason for your visit to my Yin-Yang School today?"

Beimingzi did not hide his purpose: "I heard that Your Excellency Xuantian took the Mirage to sea, found the immortal mountain, and sought back the elixir of immortality for His Majesty the Emperor..."

This matter was originally a rumor spread by word of mouth, but the State of Qin did not take the initiative to refute the rumor. In addition, the person who went to sea was Su Xuan. The entire Daoist School had witnessed Su Xuan's power and knew that Su Xuan's strength had already surpassed the Heaven-Man Realm and reached the limit of the Heaven-Man Realm.

If it were Su Xuan, it might really be possible that he found the immortal mountain and sought the elixir of immortality.

Consequently, when this rumor fermented in the world, not only were many anti-Qin elements heartbroken and extremely uncomfortable about Ying Zheng obtaining the "elixir of immortality," but the entire Daoist School was also in constant turmoil.

One must know that the theory of immortality was recorded in the *Dao De Jing* of the Daoist ancestor Lao Dan, which states: "Heaven and Earth are able to be long and lasting because they do not live for themselves, and thus they can achieve immortality." The peerless genius of the Human Sect, Zhuangzi, also said: "Do not labor your form, do not shake your essence, and then you can achieve immortality." ===== CHAPTER 921 =====
