Chapter 125: Wait, why did I add the word 'again'? (

At this moment, Fu Kui's gaze fell on Cao Zhengyang, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought thoughtfully: "We seem to have done business?"

Cao Zhengyang heard this, his smile became even stronger, and he hurriedly responded: "Haha, not just once, but Senior, you are busy with official duties on weekdays, and every time we just met in a hurry, so the impression might not be very deep."

Fu Kui heard this and showed a little apology on his face, saying: "Sorry, I'm old and can't remember things!"

He was just an old steward of the Zhang Mansion, and he basically didn't care about many affairs. What's more, the area covered by Lingyun Prefecture was too large, and there were countless sects like Taiqingmen.

Cao Zhengyang hurriedly said: "It's okay, Senior is too polite. By the way, Young Master Zhang, you are here to find Zhou Qing, right?"

Of course he knew about Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu going to Lingyun Prefecture, which was the time when they were unfortunately attacked by Qian Dafu and the Ghost Daoist on their way back.

Zhang Wan Bao heard Cao Zhengyang's inquiry, nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of urgency and anticipation. He really wanted to give the two a surprise now.

Seeing this, Cao Zhengyang showed a little embarrassment on his face, then turned slightly, and cast his gaze on Xuan Yuan Yichen and Xuan Yuan Muqian who were rushing towards this side.

Then a smile appeared on his face, and he saluted: "Greetings, Seventh Prince, Greetings, Ninth Princess!"

Zhang Wan Bao and Fu Kui were shocked. They didn't expect these two to be royal people.

Xuan Yuan Yichen saw Cao Zhengyang saluting, hurriedly returned the salute, his expression showing a bit of urgency and worry, and asked busily: "I'm bothering Sect Master Cao again, I want to know, was Zhou Qing really crushed in his Golden Core by someone?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wan Bao's pupils shrank instantly, his eyes full of disbelief, and the whole person seemed to be fixed in place instantly, unable to move.

Cao Zhengyang saw this, sighed helplessly, and had to nod slowly, saying with a solemn face: "Yes, the situation was extremely critical at that time. We tried our best to barely save his life."

Afterwards, he cast his gaze on Zhang Wan Bao who was stunned, and said: "It was the attack he encountered on his way back from Lingyun Prefecture last time. Sigh, this matter is a long story, forget it, let's not mention it for now. Since you are all here, let's follow me in first."

Saying that, Cao Zhengyang made an invitation gesture.

Just at the moment the barrier was opened, he suddenly felt something and looked at the sky above his head.

I saw another magnificent silver warship approaching here at high speed like a meteor. After a while, the warship landed slowly and stopped steadily on the ground.

Immediately after, the cabin door of the warship opened, and a middle-aged man with a refined air stepped out steadily.

Behind him, two women followed closely.

One looked cute and clever, with agile eyes; the other was still charming, especially her chest, with undulating curves, graceful posture, and the charm of a mature woman in every move.

Seeing this person, Cao Zhengyang was obviously stunned, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he hurriedly walked up to salute: "Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

That's right, the person who came was none other than Lord Xiao Ji, the Prefect of Lingyun Prefecture. Besides him, he also brought his daughter Xiao Cancan and his daughter's good friend Li Shitao.

It was really because the matter of the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown person happened within the jurisdiction of Lingyun Prefecture. Now that all parties are paying close attention to it, there is nothing more important than this matter.

Plus Xiao Cancan had never left Lingyun Prefecture on weekdays and had always lived in the prefecture, so this time she just took the opportunity to bring her out to wander around and let her see the world.

And her good friend Li Shitao also expressed that she would come along after hearing about it, to see her old friends here, so she followed along.

Lord Xiao Ji saw Cao Zhengyang, his face was full of smiles, and he hurriedly saluted: "Brother Cao, it's been many years since we last met!"

"Yes, it's been almost a hundred years since we last parted. Today, Brother Xiao can come to my Taiqingmen in person, it really makes the place shine!"

Cao Zhengyang was full of uncontrollable joy, his words full of enthusiasm.

While they were exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Wan Bao saw Lord Xiao Ji and hurriedly ran over, respectfully saluting: "Uncle Xiao, you are here too, we just arrived not long ago."

And Xiao Cancan, who was standing on the side, saw the fat Zhang in front, immediately curled her lips, hugged her arms, and snorted coldly, her expression as if she had many dissatisfactions with Zhang Wan Bao.

Lord Xiao Ji saw this, but reached out his hand and flicked Zhang Wan Bao's head directly without any politeness, pretending to be angry and saying: "Can you not know if we are coming? Don't pretend here!"

Zhang Wan Bao was flicked like this, and suddenly looked embarrassed, scratched his head, and dared not say anything more.

However, Lord Xiao Ji's gaze was soon attracted by the few people in front. After seeing their faces clearly, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly tidied his clothes, stepped forward to salute, and said with extreme respect: "Greetings, Fourth Prince, Seventh Prince, Ninth Princess!"

Cao Zhengyang, Fu Kui, and others heard this, and looked at the white crane who looked ordinary in surprise. They never thought that this person who looked unremarkable before would be the Fourth Prince of the Shengwu Imperial Dynasty.

Elder Wu Zhu behind him was even more shocked, his eyes widened, and his heart was full of disbelief.

This person who had set up a tent outside the mountain gate barrier for several days and was scolded by Luo Second Girl of Little Spirit Peak, would actually be a prince?

Good fellow, I haven't been out of the mountain gate for many years. What's wrong with the world now? Everyone likes to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger?

The white crane didn't expect that he had only met Lord Xiao Ji twice before, and didn't expect this Prefect to recognize him at a glance.

At this moment, he had no choice but to smile slightly, and said indifferently: "My name is Bai He, the Bai of Bai He, the He of Bai He."

"Something big happened!"

Zhou Qing was trying to practice the "Yanyang Bati Jue" when Yan Xiaohu pushed open the door and rushed in.

It directly gave Zhou Qing a shock.

"San Shixiong, do you want me to go into qi deviation?" Zhou Qing was speechless and couldn't help complaining.

Now it is an eventful time. In order to hide better, he dared not reveal any spiritual sense, and even the courtyard barrier was loosened a lot, just for fear of attracting unnecessary attention. But you don't have to be so scary, didn't Master just take you away not long ago?

Yan Xiaohu ran to Zhou Qing with an old hen on his head, his expression solemn, and said very quickly: "Zhou Qing, Zhang Wan Bao and that Fu Kui have come to find you, and the Seventh Prince and Ninth Princess are also here. By the way, there are also Li Shitao and Xiao Cancan, and even the Prefect of Lingyun Prefecture, Lord Xiao Ji, has come together."

Zhou Qing's face changed upon hearing this.

"Can't see them!" Zhou Qing frowned and made a decisive decision.

This "Void Realm Dharma Image" might be able to hide from some ordinary people, but that Fu Kui, who is suspected to be a half-step Soul Severance realm, or even extremely likely to be a Soul Severance realm, would definitely be able to see through the clues at a glance.

Furthermore, the Prefect Lord Xiao Ji, who rules over endless territories, has such a vicious eye, how could they, these small characters, easily muddle through.

"They have already entered the mountain gate, and now Sect Master Senior Uncle is responsible for receiving them. That guy Zhang Wan Bao seems to have known about your situation, and now he is making a fuss and insisting on seeing you!" Yan Xiaohu continued, his words full of anxiety.

Although he didn't know why this little fatty suddenly came to Taiqingmen, the other party really treated them as brothers.

Back in Lingyun Prefecture, whether it was the Nascent Soul Pill or the Soul Breath Immortal Grass, it was all thanks to this rich second generation's generous help.

Just at this moment, Mo Xingjian walked in with Luo Lingling. He looked at Zhou Qing and said steadily: "They have already come towards Little Spirit Peak. I will come forward and say that you are busy with body refining, and try not to have any contact with them."

Zhou Qing nodded immediately and said: "Good, everything follows Master's arrangement!"

Not long after, a group of people came here.

Mo Xingjian had no choice but to come forward to deal with it, saying that Zhou Qing was not convenient to see guests, and gave Cao Zhengyang a wink, and after much persuasion, let them go to Shenyue Peak first.

In the afternoon, Yan Xiaohu sneaked over like a thief.

As soon as he entered the door, he picked up the teapot on the table, took a few big gulps, wiped his mouth and said: "I've found out clearly, these people are all here because of the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, and of course, they are also here to wander around Taiqingmen by the way. They shouldn't suspect you."

It was almost the same as what Zhou Qing guessed. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that all these people were gathered together.

"That Seventh Prince seems to have brought something again, saying he wants to find you to help take a look. I'm thinking, let's not earn this money for now, and it's not like we are short of those few dozen mid-grade spirit stones. Let's try to get involved in the Imperial Dynasty's affairs as little as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Yan Xiaohu suggested seriously.

Heaven knows where this guy got those strange things. If it arouses the curiosity of other princes, and they all secretly come to ask you, wouldn't you be confusedly involved in those complex royal disputes.

Zhou Qing felt it was a pity, after all, he was short of money now. If he could earn a sum by identifying things for the Seventh Prince, it would solve his urgent needs.

But thinking of the number of royal members who came from Lingyun Prefecture this time, what Yan Xiaohu said did make some sense. In this eventful time, it is better to keep a low profile to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Besides, the things identified last time were all from a Level 5 cultivation nation.

"Don't worry, I have a count in my heart!" Zhou Qing said steadily.

Yan Xiaohu nodded, and then said: "That guy Zhang Wan Bao is now pestering Fu Kui, asking him to find a way for you. He even plans to go back to Lingyun Prefecture to find relevant spiritual herbs for you. This enthusiasm is really something."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile.

This guy is really inexplicably touching. To be honest, the two didn't help him last time, but he was willing to go through fire and water for his friends, enthusiastic and sincere.

"That female ghost... no, Li Shitao is here to find you?" Zhou Qing suddenly thought of something and teased.

Yan Xiaohu heard this, waved his hands repeatedly, and said hurriedly: "What is she looking for me for? She just came with Xiao Cancan, it doesn't have much to do with me. Alright, let's not talk about this. Now that Shenyue Peak is very lively, I have to go and see if there is any new situation."

After Yan Xiaohu finished saying this, he ran away without a trace with a guilty conscience.

On the other side, hearing that the Prefect came in person, the remaining three peak masters of Taiqingmen hurriedly came over to show respect.

As for the other peak masters, they were all sent out to search for the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown person. Although they all knew that this was a hot potato, the surface work that should be done still had to be done.

And at this time in a mountain range, Gao Xuan came to a secret cave by appointment. Here, a man in black had been waiting for a long time.

"What's the matter?" As soon as Gao Xuan stepped into the cave, he asked coldly, his voice echoing in the slightly gloomy cave, carrying a trace of chill.

Hearing Gao Xuan's voice, the man in black turned around slowly, revealing a vicissitudes-filled old face.

This person was Yan Chuan, a senior elder of the Cangyan Dao Palace, possessing the powerful cultivation base of the late Divine Transformation realm, and could be considered a powerhouse with quite a reputation in the Cangyan Dao Palace.

Moreover, he was one of the few people who knew Gao Xuan's true identity.

Last time, Yan Chuan had given Gao Xuan an order to secretly eliminate Tong Min, the peak master of Yuqing Peak of Taiqingmen, to create some internal panic for Taiqingmen first, making them overwhelmed, so as to disrupt the situation of Taiqingmen.

But at that time, Gao Xuan's reply was that although the person could be eliminated, the traces left after his own actions were really difficult to completely erase, and it was extremely likely that his identity would be exposed because of this.

Having no choice, after some discussion, the Cangyan Dao Palace decided to use another dark piece, Night Owl, who was the task hall general hall master Gu Tao for many years, to let him cooperate with Gao Xuan to act together.

But they didn't expect that Gao Xuan and Tong Min would count on them, and with lightning speed, killed Qu Shen, a late Divine Transformation realm powerhouse who came to contact them.

Afterwards, after Gao Xuan handled the traces of the scene, he contacted the two and said that he didn't get the list, and after seeing fighting here, he had to leave first to hide his identity.

And this Yan Chuan in front of him was one of the two who rushed to check the situation after the incident.

At this moment, Yan Chuan looked at Gao Xuan's appearance and said with a solemn face: "Cang Lang, Night Owl is dead, do you know who did it?"

His gaze stared closely at Gao Xuan, as if he wanted to see some clues from Gao Xuan's expression.

Gao Xuan just looked at him indifferently, his expression calm, and said unhurriedly: "How long has it been, and you still haven't found out? Now, are you suspecting me?"

Gao Xuan's tone carried a trace of faint mockery.

Yan Chuan heard this, waved his hands hurriedly, and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, it's just that too many Divine Transformation realm powerhouses in my sect have fallen recently, which is really hard to let go. Don't overthink it."

Gao Xuan stood with his hands behind his back and asked: "Then why did you call me here this time?"

Yan Chuan patted the storage bag, and a four-corner array plate floated out.

"This is a replica made by the Palace Master according to the celestial phenomena at that time. Once activated, it can reproduce the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown phenomenon in the sky. Although the time limit is short, it is enough."

After saying that, Yan Chuan handed the array plate to Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan took the array plate, his face showing suspicion.

"Is this preparing to give Taiqingmen a fatal blow?" He frowned slightly.

Yan Chuan stroked his beard and laughed loudly, full of pride: "You could say that, but this array alone lacks credibility. I just got the latest news that Prefect Lord Xiao Ji of Lingyun Prefecture, the Young Master of the Wan Xiang Auction House, and two princes and a princess have all gathered at Taiqingmen. If there is an anomaly at that time..."

Yan Chuan stopped here, but his meaning was self-evident.

Gao Xuan stared at the array plate, nodded slightly, and whispered to himself: "Trumped-up..."

Yan Chuan said: "That's right, it's a trumped-up charge. Now everyone is running around like headless flies. It's time for someone to point them in a direction, even if everyone knows it's fake, they will still rush forward one after another."

"Since you got the news of the Prefect and the others coming so quickly, it shows that Taiqingmen still has other insiders, why not look for them?" Gao Xuan asked back.

Yan Chuan said: "They can't do it, because if this array plate wants to cause celestial phenomena in a certain range, it needs the soul power of the Divine Transformation realm to activate it."

Gao Xuan's eyes flickered, and he sighed: "In this way, I am the only one left among the Divine Transformation realm in Taiqingmen? It really feels a bit isolated and helpless."

Yan Chuan smiled, walked over slowly, and said: "When this matter is done, you won't need to continue lurking anymore. By then, countless people will flock to Taiqingmen. Even if they are lucky enough not to die, they will have to be peeled off a layer of skin."

Gao Xuan nodded upon hearing this, then took the array plate, and then asked: "Has there been any clue about the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown?"

Yan Chuan shook his head, his expression solemn: "There is no clue at the moment, but it is certain that it was definitely not done by anyone in our palace. But looking at your situation, it doesn't seem to be Taiqingmen's either?"

"No!" Gao Xuan said.

Yan Chuan sneered and muttered to himself: "This is getting more and more interesting. Could it be those guys from the Tianji Sect? They are best at covering up the secrets of heaven. Could it be that they have been holding back a big one without making a sound?"

Gao Xuan turned his gaze to Yan Chuan and asked: "I have actually always wanted to know, who is the other party that cooperated with you in Qingniuling to lure the younger generation of Taiqingmen? To what extent has our cooperation with them reached?"

Facing Gao Xuan's sudden inquiry, Yan Chuan showed suspicion, stared closely at him, and then shook his head: "This matter is not yet the time for you to know. I can only tell you that everyone's goal is the same. After taking down Taiqingmen, those guys will have the same ending."

Speaking of this, Yan Chuan's face was full of thick mockery.

"The secrets in the Taiqingmen cave are not so easy to get!" Gao Xuan spat out such a sentence faintly.

Yan Chuan said indifferently: "You don't need to worry about this, the Palace Master has his own arrangements. Don't worry, the credit and hard work you have made over the years, the Palace Master has all recorded them. When the time comes to reward based on merit, there will definitely be a share for you."

Gao Xuan looked directly at Yan Chuan, but suddenly grinned and sneered coldly.

"Reward based on merit? I'm curious, what kind of reward can I get?"

Hearing Gao Xuan's slightly cold words, Yan Chuan couldn't help but frown slightly and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean by this?"

Gao Xuan said unhurriedly: "It doesn't mean anything, just thinking that now I am in Taiqingmen, as a peak master, I can be considered to be under one person and above ten thousand people. Even other peak masters of the same rank have to respectfully call me Senior Brother."

"Cang Lang, don't forget, who killed your daughter? And who avenged you?" Yan Chuan suddenly stepped forward a few steps, pointed his finger directly at Gao Xuan and said.

Gao Xuan's eyes were cold as frost, looking directly at him, and responded coldly: "Oh, really?"

"I think you've been in Taiqingmen for too long and have almost forgotten who you are. After this matter is over, you can successfully withdraw, take your daughter's body, and go wherever you want." Yan Chuan said.

Gao Xuan couldn't help but sneer and asked back: "But didn't you just say you were going to reward based on merit? Why are you suddenly letting me leave now? Is this preparing to cross the river and tear down the bridge, kill the donkey?"

"Cang Lang, what's wrong with you today? You have to be serious with the old man, right? Don't forget, your daughter's body is still in the Cangyan Dao Palace..."

"Shh, don't talk, didn't you hear any movement, or smell any smell?" Gao Xuan suddenly interrupted his words, and at the same time made a shushing gesture and said.

Yan Chuan was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically, and he instantly distanced himself from Gao Xuan.

"Do you want to betray the sect?" Yan Chuan discovered in horror that the flow of spiritual power in his body had slowed down significantly.

He didn't say a word, hurriedly took out a large amount of antidote pills, swallowed them all into his stomach, and then stared at Gao Xuan with killing intent.

Just at this moment, a sudden sound of footsteps sounded outside the cave.

Immediately after, three figures walked in slowly.

They were two men and one woman, namely Ling Yuexiao, the peak master of Baizhan Peak of Taiqingmen, Ruan Mingxiu, the peak master of Yunyin Peak, and Tong Min, the peak master of Yuqing Peak.

These three were all in the late Divine Transformation realm, and had set up all the barriers outside the cave long ago.

Now, in a situation of four against one, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven for Yan Chuan to escape today.

"I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation after today!" Tong Min walked up and glanced coldly at Gao Xuan.

"Wait, why did I add the word 'again'?" After Tong Min finished speaking, she couldn't help but wonder.

Ling Yuexiao, the peak master of Baizhan Peak, and Ruan Mingxiu, the peak master of Yunyin Peak, also looked at Gao Xuan. They were full of doubts and were eager to know what was going on.

Originally, several people went out to search for the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown person, but were urgently summoned by Senior Brother Gao, saying they were going hunting. But who would have expected that this so-called prey was actually someone from the Cangyan Dao Palace.
