Chapter 169: The secret in the Immortal Prison Temple! Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang

Jiang Lai's call came unexpectedly, but when he heard that ethereal and familiar voice, Zhang Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where are you? Are you safe?" Zhang Fan asked hurriedly.

He had spent so much effort capturing the Boar, wasn't it just to find Jiang Lai's trail!?

"I am now... inside the Immortal Prison Temple, temporarily safe."

Jiang Lai's voice was intermittent, accompanied by "hissing" sounds. Clearly, the signal there was not very good, as if it could be interrupted at any moment.

"Immortal Prison Temple? How did you get there?" Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment.

He had learned from the tour guide Lin Jianyue that the Immortal Prison Temple was just a legend of Luoxia Mountain, which no one could verify and no one could find.

He had thought it was just a means for Luoxia Town to attract tourists.

Jiang Lai had actually entered that Daoist temple!? "Not long ago... Immortal Prison Temple..."

Jiang Lai's voice was sometimes present and sometimes absent, but Zhang Fan heard the general idea...

Not long ago, there was such a big commotion in Qilu City, especially the Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang brothers from Mount Laojun, who were defeated by a young man named Zhao Jiexuan, all because of the appearance of the Immortal Prison Temple.

At that time, Jiang Lai was also at the scene, but in the end, she took advantage of the situation and entered that Daoist temple.

According to what Jiang Lai said, the Immortal Prison Temple was an extremely critical place for the Wu Wei Sect, and the Boar was responsible for guarding the periphery. Now that Zhang Fan had solved the Boar, Jiang Lai had just taken advantage of the gap to call out.

"Are you safe now?"

Zhang Fan's heart, which had just settled, rose again. Since the 【Immortal Prison Temple】 was so important to the Wu Wei Sect, wouldn't Jiang Lai be deep in a quagmire by entering it!? "Temporarily safe... there are people from the Daoist path among the Thirteen Zodiacs..."

Just at this moment, Jiang Lai exploded a big piece of news. Such news made even Zhang Fan stunned for a moment.

Beside him, the Liu brothers looked at Zhang Fan's expression and exchanged glances, not knowing what incredible news their Brother Fan had heard to be so surprised.

"Who is it?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know." Jiang Lai said softly.

After she entered the 【Immortal Prison Temple】, she had indeed obtained guidance, which was why she hid her figure and was temporarily safe. The other party had never truly appeared, but various clues had given Jiang Lai a guess.

Hearing this, Zhang Fan remained silent.

Ever since the 【Long Hu Red Moon】 ten years ago, the Wu Wei Sect had become increasingly active, and its infiltration of the Daoist path was also quite severe.

The He family who had gone out, the Shen family who refined talismans, and even the Xuanmiao Temple and Xiao Xiaole had all been infiltrated and tainted by the Wu Wei Sect.

The Wu Wei Sect's infiltration was everywhere; after all, what they were best at was soul-aspect possession. Even if they couldn't pull you into the same camp, they could turn you into one of their own.

Bai Buran said that the current situation was probably even worse than imagined. Within the Daoist Alliance, and even among the high-ups of the top ten Daoist famous mountains in the world, there might be people from the Wu Wei Sect.

Since this was the case, the Wu Wei Sect could infiltrate the Daoist path, and the Daoist path could naturally infiltrate the Wu Wei Sect.

It was just that Zhang Fan hadn't expected the Daoist path's hand to be so big; among the lurking experts, someone had actually mixed into the Thirteen Zodiacs.

Such strength, such temperament, such patience... was truly beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

"Can you come out now?" Zhang Fan asked hurriedly.

Hiss... hiss... hiss...

A burst of noise came from the other end of the phone, drowning out Jiang Lai's voice. Clearly, the signal where the Immortal Prison Temple was located was extremely poor.

Previously, the Boar Wang Tao had hidden in Luoxia Town, probably also having some means to interfere with the magnetic field and shield the signal, after all, the soul-aspect was a huge magnetic field source.

Now that Zhang Fan had solved him, Jiang Lai could call out, but it was still not stable.

"Not for the time being, the Immortal Prison Temple only shows its path when the moon is full on the fifteenth of every month..."

After a burst of infection, Jiang Lai's voice came from the other end of the phone again.

When the sun and moon change, the mechanism of heaven and earth's Qi moves, and that path leading to the 【Immortal Prison Temple】 will appear in Luoxia Mountain. Only by observing with the soul-aspect can those with affinity find it and enter that ancient Daoist temple.

"The fifteenth!?" Zhang Fan looked at the time; there were still eight days until the next fifteenth.

"Protect yourself inside, wait for me, I will definitely save you." Zhang Fan said in a low, concentrated voice.

The other end of the phone was silent, without the slightest response.

"Did you hear me?" Zhang Fan said anxiously: "Broken signal!"

"I heard you."

Jiang Lai's voice came over.

Hearing this, Zhang Fan felt slightly relieved.

"What is in the Immortal Prison Temple?" Zhang Fan asked casually.

"Three... three corpses..."

Hiss... hiss... hiss...

After a burst of harsh noise, the signal stopped abruptly, and there was no more response from Jiang Lai's side.

"Hello... hello..."

Zhang Fan looked at the hung-up phone, his brows raised, and he fell into silence.

"Immortal Prison Temple..."

"Brother Fan, what should we do now?"

Just at this moment, Liu Xingchui's voice pulled Zhang Fan's thoughts back.

"I'm afraid I have to stay in Luoxia Town for a few days." Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.

Seeing that there were still eight days until the next full moon on the fifteenth, Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. Delays lead to changes, especially since he had just brutally beaten the Boar. Who knew if that thing was dead or not, and whether the Wu Wei Sect would receive wind of it? These were all variables!

"Daoist brother... Daoist brother..."

Just at this moment, a burst of urgent shouting came from the night. Zhang Fan looked up and saw Wei Qingsong rushing over with a group of subordinates, about twenty people.

While still in the distance, Wei Qingsong had those people stand by on the spot, and very sensibly walked over by himself.

"Brother Wei arrived really in time." Zhang Fan said indifferently.

"Daoist brother, that commotion just now was..." Wei Qingsong stopped mid-sentence. Just the fluctuations of that fire technique just now would have been enough to sweep away the group of people he brought, without the slightest suspense.

"Met an expert from the Wu Wei Sect, exchanged a few moves."

Zhang Fan said in a low, concentrated voice. He was unwilling to reveal too much, especially involving the 【Immortal Prison Temple】 and Jiang Lai.

"Exchanged a few moves!?" Wei Qingsong's eye corners twitched.

Just that commotion just now was only called exchanging a few moves? Being able to cause such a commotion, he thought that the expert met by this high-ranking disciple of Bai He Guan who was hiding his identity probably had a very high status within the Wu Wei Sect.

Thinking of this, many thoughts rose in Wei Qingsong's heart. He knew Zhang Fan was aiming for the Boar, just didn't know if the Wu Wei Sect expert he just met was the Boar...

He really wanted to ask, but Zhang Fan didn't say it clearly, and Wei Qingsong didn't dare to ask casually.

"Daoist brother is incredible, it's just a pity I missed this battle..." Wei Qingsong observed his words and expressions, hesitated slightly, and then said: "I don't know if Luo Baozhang's soul-aspect..."

"Was silenced by the other party." Zhang Fan said indifferently, with no expression on his face.

"Dead!?" Wei Qingsong's face twitched slightly. Looking at Zhang Fan's expression, he guessed a few points in his heart.

"Good death, this kind of scum colluding with the Wu Wei monsters should have died long ago." Wei Qingsong said righteously, observing Zhang Fan's expression.

"Daoist brother, Luo Baozhang was full of evil, not worth pitying. I will report his bad deeds truthfully. We in Dongshan Province have the responsibility of poor supervision..."

Wei Qingsong paused slightly and continued: "If Daoist brother has any other instructions or requirements, feel free to mention them."

Speaking of this, Wei Qingsong couldn't help but become nervous. In his eyes, Zhang Fan carried the true transmission of the Bai He Daoist technique, was young, and had profound cultivation. Even if he wasn't the legendary Li Changgeng, he must be an extremely important disciple and successor of Bai He Guan. If he could curry favor with him, his future would be limitless.

What he feared was that the other party had no requirements, then even if he had the heart and strength, he would have nowhere to use it.

"Brother Wei, there really is one thing I need to trouble you with."

Just at this moment, Zhang Fan spoke, and Wei Qingsong's eyes lit up.

"What trouble? If Daoist brother has any instructions, feel free to mention them. Even if I have to carry my head, I will get it done."

"I still need to stay in Luoxia Town for a few days to investigate the traces of the Wu Wei monsters. During this time, I hope Brother Wei can take your people and guard outside Luoxia Town. If you find any Daoist practitioners wanting to come in, try your best to stop them..." Zhang Fan said in a low, concentrated voice.

"If you can't stop them, or if you find traces of Wu Wei monsters, notify me immediately."

Eight days later, the path to the 【Immortal Prison Temple】 will appear. Heaven knows who will come during this time. Delays lead to changes, and delays lead to variables. Zhang Fan naturally wants to nip trouble in the bud.

Wei Qingsong is, after all, a lord of the Dongshan Province Daoist Alliance. They should have their own set of processes and means to screen Daoist practitioners.

"This is simple..." Hearing this, Wei Qingsong patted his chest.

His team has twenty-six people, all counted in the establishment. He can mobilize more personnel outside the establishment, totaling seventy or eighty people, which is not a problem.

As long as they guard the various main roads leading to Luoxia Town, there is no need to screen them one by one. By using some soul-aspect techniques and talismans, they can detect Daoist practitioners coming to Luoxia Town.

"I have two friends who can help you."

"These two?" Wei Qingsong looked at Liu Xingchui and Liu Xingyu beside him.

"No." Zhang Fan shook his head and took out his phone to make a call.

A moment later, two figures walked out from the night. They were Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu, who had been hiding in the dark.

This time coming to Dongshan Province, Zhang Fan had brought the Liu brothers and these two demon ghosts, one in the light and one in the dark.

Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu were demons after all, and their perception was sharper than ordinary Daoist priests. What's more, they hailed from the Wu Wei Sect and had been trained by the Snake, Bai Yuqing, so they were more familiar with the aura and methods of the Wu Wei Sect.

With them here, Wei Qingsong should be able to better screen the Wu Wei monsters.

"Wei Qingsong, an expert from the Dongshan Province Daoist Alliance." Zhang Fan introduced: "For the next few days, you will help Brother Wei. He will tell you the specifics."

"How should I address you two?" Wei Qingsong bowed and performed a salute, able to feel the extraordinary aura of Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu.

Especially Shi Shougong, whose temperament was cold and arrogant, and whose aura was changeable, making him unable to fathom for a moment.

"Shi Shougong!"

"Su Shiyu!"

The two looked at each other, reported their family names, and their expressions became strange.

They were demons, and even more so, they hailed from the Wu Wei Sect. They had dreamed that one day they would actually cooperate with the Daoist Alliance, and still in an official capacity!?

"Is this recruitment!?" Su Shiyu muttered in his heart.

"Don't worry, Daoist brother, I won't treat them poorly."

Wei Qingsong was already overjoyed, looking at Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu, but his heart was filled with wild joy.

Clearly, those who came with Zhang Fan were naturally experts from Bai He Guan. Now that they were traveling together and acting together, having this sentiment...

One of his feet could already be considered to have stepped into Bai He Guan.

Thinking of this, Wei Qingsong looked at Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu beside him as if looking at his own bright future, even wanting to swear brotherhood with them.

"Happy cooperation." Wei Qingsong said with a light smile.

"You two come with me."

Zhang Fan waved his hand, pulled Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu to the side, and gave them face-to-face instructions.

"Brother Fan, what is going on?" Su Shiyu couldn't help but ask.

"You don't need to worry about other things. Keep an eye on them for me. Once you find anyone from the Wu Wei Sect, notify me immediately..."

"In addition, you only need to follow them. Try not to make a move if you can, and don't reveal your identities."

If it weren't to guard against the Wu Wei Sect, Zhang Fan wouldn't have let these two demons appear. But as long as they didn't make a move, it wouldn't matter.

"Understood." Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu looked at each other and nodded.

"Let's go."

"Troubling Brother Wei." Zhang Fan said softly.

"You're welcome. Daoist brother rushing to the front line of eliminating demons and defending the Dao is truly worthy of being called great righteousness."

Wei Qingsong sighed sincerely, at least his expression was as if from the bottom of his heart.

Watching everyone leave, Zhang Fan slowly withdrew his gaze. He didn't think Wei Qingsong could block all accidents with a group of people. This could only be considered a line of defense he left behind; the key still depended on himself.

"Eight more days, hopefully there won't be any variables." Zhang Fan muttered softly.

At least for now, no experts had entered Luoxia Town.

"Let's go back too, find a hotel and open two rooms, have to stay for a few days." Zhang Fan greeted the Liu brothers.

"Brother Fan, can we open three rooms? I don't want to sleep in the same room as my brother."

"No, there is only a standard of two rooms, otherwise I can't report it when I go back."

Zhang Fan's voice grew smaller and smaller, and the three gradually disappeared into the hazy night.

At this time, the northwest corner of Luoxia Town.

In an inconspicuous hotel, the neon lights on the sign flashed on and off, like the urban style of the eighties and nineties. In the dim yellow room, simple decoration, dull style, and the corners of the white-washed walls were full of stains.

Such a hotel was hard to find in the entire Luoxia Town. It was rarely visited on weekdays, and only during the peak season, when there was no choice, would it be full.

Of course, the price here was also cheap, only fifty yuan a night.

"Brother, eight more days, the Immortal Prison Temple will open again. By then we can go in."

Just at this moment, an excited voice echoed in the dim yellow room.

"That woman is not simple. She actually has no soul-aspect, got there first, and entered the Immortal Prison Temple... simply incredible."

Another voice sounded, filled with a trace of calmness.

"Brother, what is so special about the Immortal Prison Temple?"

"I saw it in a manuscript of a predecessor at our Mount Laojun. Back then, the Three-Corpse Daoist priest practiced the legendary 【Three Corpses Illuminating Fate】 here. The secret to practicing this method is hidden in that Daoist temple." The calm voice replied.

"Hehe, in that case, this 【Immortal Prison Temple】 must be entered to take a look. This time I want to meet that Zhao Jiexuan again, see if he can defeat our Qi Delong Dongqiang, see if he can break our 【Soul-Aspect Union Dharma】 again..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? He is dead, how can he break it?"

Two completely different voices echoed in the quiet room. On the old sofa, only one person was sitting cross-legged. Under the dim yellow light, two swaying shadows appeared on the wall!!! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 170 =====
