Chapter 229

If one obtains the three palaces to store the golden pill, one will ascend to heaven in broad daylight and join the ranks of immortals.

The so-called "three palaces" are the three major dantian of the human body—upper, middle, and lower; the Daoist terms are 【Yuan Palace】, 【Jiang Palace】, and 【Xuan Palace】.

On the central axis of the ancestral temple of the Wu Wei Gate, there are three palaces named after them.

The masters of the three palaces are all great experts of the contemporary era, shaking the major Daoist sects under heaven.

Just like Ming Shenshou, the 【Master of the Jiang Palace】, whom Zhang Fan saw in Dongshan Province that day.

At this moment, in this club in the suburbs of Yujing City, no one would think that the woman before Lou Hecuan is Jiang Yunxian, the 【Master of the Xuan Palace】 of the Wu Wei Gate.

Facing Lou Hecuan's questioning, Jiang Yunxian smiled lightly, but her soft and beautiful face was calm.

"Old Lou, you are the person in charge of the Daoist sect in Jiangnan, but it was just the death of a junior; why did you lose your composure? Where did your usual cultivation of Qi go?"

"Just? Only?" Lou Hecuan's eyes widened, suppressing his restless emotions, and he said in a deep voice: "That is not an ordinary junior..."

"Meng Qinghuan was sent by the Dao Alliance Headquarters; she is a person by President Jiang's side, and even a high disciple of Mount Qiyun..."

"You should know how difficult it is to cultivate a Great Being level expert. Not to mention that she is also a member of the Supernatural Power Association."

Lou Hecuan's beard was trembling; Meng Qinghuan's composition is too complex, and her status and background destined that her death would cause a huge uproar.

"Supernatural Power Association... what a pity; if I had known, I should have let this girl die at the hands of Ming Shenshou." Jiang Yunxian chuckled.

Speaking of this, Jiang Yunxian's gaze narrowed into a line, looking at Lou Hecuan.

"Old Lou, with your status, if it were in ancient times, you would be a frontier official, and that girl could also count as an imperial envoy."

"Do you guess she came to Yujing just to investigate the mere Tiger of the Yin?"

"She is a person by President Jiang's side."

"You mean to say..." Lou Hecuan's eyebrows trembled, and he instantly calmed down.

"The Dao Alliance Headquarters has set its sights on Jiangnan Province?"

He had also thought about this aspect, but that trace of luck felt impossible.

"Old Lou, we are old friends; I have a word for you."

"What?" Lou Hecuan asked subconsciously.

"Absolute loyalty is not absolute, it is absolute disloyalty; people who play both sides generally won't have a good ending." Jiang Yunxian chuckled.

Once these words were spoken, Lou Hecuan's expression changed drastically; he stared at Jiang Yunxian and sneered: "You are saying this to me now? Planning to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

"Old Lou, I said, we are friends; naturally, I won't let you go down a dead end."

"Speaking of which, you have helped me handle many things over the years."

"That doesn't mean you should have killed Meng Qinghuan; this is equivalent to poking a hole in the sky. Do you know the consequences? You are not helping me; you are harming me." Lou Hecuan gritted his teeth.

He could already imagine the anger of the Dao Alliance Headquarters after learning of Meng Qinghuan's fall.

"Consequences? Nothing more than a bloody storm." Jiang Yunxian laughed.

Especially when mentioning the four words "bloody storm," the smile on this woman's face was even more brilliant.

"You... are you trying to..." Lou Hecuan's gaze trembled slightly, looking at Jiang Yunxian in disbelief.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Meng Qinghuan's death seemed to be just a trigger; in Jiang Yunxian's eyes, whether such a little guy dies or not is not important; what is important is the subsequent reaction of the Dao Alliance.

"Jiazi Demon-Purging... this world has been peaceful for sixty years. If Chu Chaoran hadn't appeared back then, how could the Daoist sects of the Nine Provinces have the scene they have today?" Jiang Yunxian's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on her face gradually dissipated.

"Don't forget, Chu Chaoran is still alive; he is the pillar of the Daoist sect. Do you dare to rashly start a war?" Lou Hecuan gritted his teeth.

"Pure Yang Limitless... how many people dream of it. Chu Chaoran is the greatest reliance of the Daoist sect, but he is also the greatest weakness of the Daoist sect. If he is not here, the high pavilion before our eyes will collapse in an instant." Jiang Yunxian laughed.

"You are talking nonsense." Lou Hecuan said in a deep voice.

"Sixty years ago, at the peak of Mount Dongyue, on the eve of the great battle, the Three-Corpse Daoist had already seen his ending. He once said that the next sixty years would be the era of Chu Chaoran, Pure Yang Limitless, invincible under heaven..."

Once these words were spoken, Lou Hecuan couldn't help but change his expression.

"Is the cultivation of the Three-Corpse Daoist really that terrifying? He saw his ending, knowing that death was imminent? And still dared to attend the meeting?"

Lou Hecuan couldn't understand; being able to see a corner of the future is already a heaven-reaching method, but knowing that life and death are before his eyes, yet still calmly rushing to it, this has already exceeded his understanding.

"The Three-Corpse Daoist also once said that the sixty-year Jiazi cycle is the day Chu Chaoran faces his catastrophe."

"Absolute or not, extinguished or not, there is a rest in the seventy-third generation; I fear this rest will be on Chu Chaoran." Jiang Yunxian said lightly.

"You mean, Chu Chaoran will have a great catastrophe?"

Lou Hecuan's expression changed slightly, somewhat unable to believe it.

Chu Chaoran is already the top figure of the contemporary era, Pure Yang Limitless, number one under heaven; what kind of catastrophe could such a person have?

"True Persons are also people; as long as they are in this mortal world, they have catastrophes."

Jiang Yunxian's gaze was solemn: "Now everyone is waiting; we are waiting, and you are waiting, waiting for this greatest variable... waiting for the day Chu Chaoran faces his catastrophe..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yunxian looked at Lou Hecuan and chuckled: "This is the bottom line I can reveal to you, and it is also my sincerity..."

"Before this day comes, the sky won't fall."

Lou Hecuan's expression changed again and again, and he pondered for a long time before saying: "The Dao Alliance Headquarters will absolutely not swallow this breath; they will send people to Jiangnan Province, to Yujing City."

"I know. That old fox President Jiang will take this opportunity to explore the road of Jiangnan Province and test the water of the Wu Wei Gate."

Jiang Yunxian lazily stretched her arms: "Speaking of which, we and you have been at peace for many years..."

"This time, let's count it as a warm-up."

"You..." Lou Hecuan stopped talking.

"Rest assured, Old Lou, you are very important; unless it is a last resort, I will preserve you." Jiang Yunxian gave a promise.

"What do I need to do?" Lou Hecuan asked in a deep voice.

"Don't do anything." Jiang Yunxian paused slightly and added: "That young man named Zhang Fan, don't let him get involved too deeply."

"Zhang Fan? Is he also one of your people?" Lou Hecuan's eyebrows trembled.

"What do you mean by 'also'?" Jiang Yunxian laughed: "Old Lou, you are too sensitive; this young man has a deep relationship with Mount Zhenwu, and keeping him is useful."

"I understand."

Lou Hecuan looked at Jiang Yunxian deeply and slowly stood up.

"I hope you keep your word."

As he spoke, Lou Hecuan turned around, pushed the door, and walked out of the room.

In the elegant and empty room, only Jiang Yunxian was left; the water on the furnace was still boiling, making a gurgling sound.

"I said earlier that people in their family are disaster stars who cause trouble; one shouldn't play with their family."

"Zhang Lingzong, if you don't show up again, I will push your son out, so you won't have a son to send you off."

Jiang Yunxian's gaze narrowed, staring at the ethereal rising mist, and murmured softly. Just at this moment, the middle-aged man in a suit walked into the room.

"Sister Yun, Lou Hecuan has left; what result was discussed?"

"What result can be discussed?" Jiang Yunxian said lightly: "He is an old slippery head; do you think he really cares about the life or death of that Meng Qinghuan?"

"He came so late, just wanting to get a promise from me."

"What promise?" the middle-aged man in a suit couldn't help but ask.

"No matter how the sky in Jiangnan changes, his seat cannot be moved."

"He also knows that if he wants to sit firmly in that chair in Jiangnan Province, he must not only get the nod from the Dao Alliance Headquarters but also look at Sister Yun's face." the middle-aged man in a suit sneered.

Where the Master of the Xuan Palace sits, is it so easy to reach in?

It's just that on the surface, no one knows that there is such a great Buddha in Jiangnan Province!

"Lou Hecuan, this old thing, plays both sides and has also gained many benefits over the years."

"Playing both sides has always been drinking poison to quench thirst; when reaching a fork in the road, one ultimately has to make a choice." Jiang Yunxian said lightly.

"If he doesn't want to go, we will help him go."

In the version where there is no error/p>

As she spoke, Jiang Yunxian picked up the tea bowl on the table, turned her wrist, and the tea splashed, spilling on the table, flowing wantonly.

"He can no longer turn back."

"If he wants to turn back, he can only be beheaded!" the middle-aged man in a suit sneered.

Capital City

No. 273 Xianyin Road, Dao Alliance Headquarters.

At the end of the long corridor, a light was still on in an office.

In front of the desk, a kind old man wearing heavy reading glasses leaned over, looking for something in the dense text on the document...

"Meng Qinghuan is dead; someone from Mount Qiyun has already come, and they will arrive early tomorrow morning. There must be an explanation for this matter."

In the office, a tall and thin man's voice was heavy; he was wearing Daoist clothes, and a white crane mark was embroidered on the corner of his clothes.

Fan Lingzhou, a Daoist priest of the Bai He Temple, is also one of the most capable assistants by Jiang Your Majesty's side, and he himself is at the 【Xu Xu Guanzhu】 rank.

"Jiangnan Province has had so many troubles one after another; if you say there is no problem? Who would believe it? When there is a mouse on the table, it means there is a nest in a place you can't see..."

Just at this moment, another man spoke; he was wearing a jacket and gold-rimmed glasses, paused slightly, and looked at the kind old man who was still leaning over the desk.

Yue Cangfeng, a Daoist priest of the Bai He Temple, is also one of the four major assistants by Jiang Your Majesty's side, and is also a 【Xu Xu Guanzhu】 cultivation.

"President, you have to express your stance; regardless of whether Lou Hecuan has a problem or not, he is no longer suitable to continue serving as the president of the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance." Yue Cangfeng continued.

"Little Fan, help me dim the lights; it's too dazzling."

Just at this moment, the old man at the desk spoke.

Who would have thought that the kind-faced, gray-haired old man before them is Jiang Your Majesty, who is as famous as Chu Chaoran and is known as half the sky of the Daoist world.

Fan Lingzhou heard this, immediately stopped the discussion, turned around, walked to the side, and turned off a light.

"That's right, it's much more comfortable this way." Jiang Your Majesty chuckled.

"Little Yue, where did you just say? Continue."

Jiang Your Majesty put down the pen in his hand, took off his reading glasses, picked up the thermos cup, and looked at Yue Cangfeng.

"President, Qinghuan went to Jiangnan Province mainly to investigate some situations of the Dao Alliance there, especially Lou Hecuan, and now she is actually dead..."

"This is simply lawless; regardless of whether it has anything to do with Lou Hecuan, at the very least he has joint responsibility..."

"I think Lou Hecuan is no longer suitable to serve as the president of the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance and should be suspended for investigation immediately." Yue Cangfeng expressed his opinion.

Jiang Your Majesty nodded, blew away the tea foam in the thermos cup, took a light sip, and then said leisurely: "Little Yue, how much do you know about the situation in Jiangnan Province?"

"This..." Yue Cangfeng was stunned; for this question, he was not prepared for a moment.

He only knew that in recent years, the management of Jiangnan Province was different from other places, especially recently, Wu Wei demon people have been increasingly frequent and rampant, mostly concentrated in the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance area.

This made the higher-ups suspicious, so they sent Meng Qinghuan, nominally related to the Tiger of the Yin of the Wu Wei Gate, but actually secretly investigating the problems of the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance headed by Lou Hecuan.

Apart from this, he knew nothing else.

"Without investigation, there is no right to speak." Jiang Your Majesty put down the thermos cup in his hand.

"Lou Hecuan is an old man in the Dao Alliance; his energy in Jiangnan Province is very large, and his relationships with all aspects are also very good, especially in the Maoshan area..."

"Have you considered the impact of rashly removing him?"

Jiang Your Majesty said word by word, his voice was slow, but it fell into Fan Lingzhou and Yue Cangfeng's ears like thunder, and their backs straightened involuntarily.

"I have always emphasized that stability is the premise and unity is the goal. Without conclusive evidence, if not necessary, don't move these old people casually..."

Jiang Your Majesty's eyes revealed compassion: "If you move them, even if you support someone up, they may not be able to sit firmly in that seat."

"If trouble arises, it will be passive to ask them to come back to clean up the mess."

"That place in Jiangnan Province cannot be chaotic."

"The President's reminder is correct; we considered the problem too one-sidedly."

"Not dialectical enough, lacking a sense of the overall situation."

Fan Lingzhou and Yue Cangfeng self-reflected.

"Young people, test yourselves in practice; you can only progress if you recognize your mistakes and shortcomings. In addition, treat the elderly with enough tolerance and respect..."

Jiang Your Majesty was like a kind grandfather, reminding the younger generation; every word and action revealed compassion and meticulousness.

"Then Meng Qinghuan's death..."

"Send someone to Jiangnan Province..."

"The spirit of going is..." Yue Cangfeng asked subconsciously.

"Kill a batch." Jiang Your Majesty said lightly.

As he spoke, Jiang Your Majesty put on his reading glasses and continued to look at the documents on the desk.

Fan Lingzhou and Yue Cangfeng looked at each other, both understanding.

They knew that such a thing is a big deal for others, but for Jiang Your Majesty, it counts for nothing; what he holds in his heart is the entire Daoist world, not a single place or corner.

Such a thing is really not worth him wasting his energy.

"Hmm!?"

Just at this moment, Jiang Your Majesty raised his eyebrows, put down the pen in his hand again, and a look of solemnity surged on his originally kind and kind face.

In his hand, a document, mostly blank, had only eight large characters:

King Yan descends the mountain, leaving the ancestral temple!!

"That old dog has come out of the mountain!?" Jiang Your Majesty said in a deep voice.
