My Senior Brother Turned Black After I Died. Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Well, yes, I am a small wooden person…

Hearing this, Shen Lanchuan frowned even more tightly and shook his head: “Shang Wenyan was nowhere to be seen when I broke out of the formation. The Jade Heart Orchid that was taken out at the Duobao Pavilion auction is indeed genuine, and its aura cannot be faked. However, Shang Wenyan and Shen Xuzhi colluded. It is unknown whether this object is still in the Duobao Pavilion’s treasury, or has been moved away by them, or even whether it has been tampered with.”

“No matter what, let’s try to find it first. After all, Sect Master Song is in urgent need of it,” Ji Hantong said, “If you really can’t find it…”

He turned to Lou Yuxing, who was still grieving, and said in a slower voice: “Nephew Lou, what are the specific injuries of Sect Master Song?” Do you know what kind of injury Sect Master Song suffered?Why?There may be other ways to treat it.”

Lou Yuxing was brought back to his senses by Ji Hantong’s question. He suppressed the surge of grief, raised his hand and wiped his face with his sleeves, and said hoarsely: “Reporting to Immortal Yu Heng, junior… Junior actually doesn’t know very well. Master was already dying when he returned from Longyuan Secret Realm a month ago.Several elders who are proficient in medical skills in the clan and people from Yaowang Valley have seen it and said that it is necessary to get the spiritual pill to heal.”

Lou Yuxing himself felt very strange about this matter. After all, the master had always been in good health, and he had never heard of the Longyuan secret realm. Why did the master go to that place?What on earth is there that caused Master to be so seriously injured?

Ji Hantong patted him on the shoulder, “You first collect the bodies of your fellow disciples. They died because of me. I will definitely help you with your master’s affairs.”

Shen Lanchuan also said: “I am the same as Han Tong.”

Upon hearing this, Lou Yuxing bowed deeply again: “Thank you two immortals, I will collect the bodies of my junior brothers and sisters.”

As he spoke, he suppressed his grief, carefully and solemnly took out the clean white brocade from the storage bag, and began to collect the corpses of his fellow disciples one by one.Every time he touched a cold body, Lou Yuxing’s fingers trembled slightly.

Shen Lanchuan and Ji Hantong stood aside quietly without disturbing them.The dusk is getting darker, and the wind in the wilderness blows, bringing with it the coolness of late autumn and the faint smell of blood.In the distance, the commotion in the direction of Liuyun City seems to have not completely subsided, and the noise can still be vaguely heard.

Ji Hantong also felt pity in his heart when he saw Lou Yuxing holding back his grief and meticulously restraining his fellow disciples.These young lives were supposed to have a bright future, but they died innocently because they were involved in this conspiracy against him and his senior brothers.He secretly clenched his fists, and his murderous intention towards Shen Xuzhi and Shang Wenyan became even stronger.

*

Shen Lanchuan’s eyes always fell on Ji Hantong. Seeing the depression and anger on Ji Hantong’s eyebrows, he reached out his hand and gently held Ji Hantong’s cold fingers.

Ji Hantong was slightly startled and looked sideways at him.

“Don’t blame yourself too much,” Shen Lanchuan said in a low and gentle voice, slowly soothing Ji Hantong’s mood, “We will slowly settle this account with them. Now we have to deal with the Qingyun Mountain matter and your body. Is it really okay?”

Ji Hantong felt the warmth coming from his palm, and the haze in his heart dissipated a little. He gently held it back with his backhand and said in the same voice: “Well, there is nothing wrong with me, how about you, senior brother?I still don’t know how you found me. Are you injured?”

Ji Hantong was telling the truth. With the help of System 0621, he was able to teach Li Cangming painlessly. He did not suffer any damage at all, but it seemed more serious to others.

“It doesn’t matter, it’s just more consumption, just adjust your breathing for a few days and it’ll be fine.”Shen Lanchuan didn’t want to worry him, so he simply walked him through.

At this time, Lou Yuxing had collected the bodies of all his fellow disciples, and the seven bodies wrapped in plain white brocade were neatly arranged on the ground.He took one last deep look and carefully put them into the storage bag.

Ji Hantong was about to ask again, but he saw Shen Lanchuan’s eyes slightly focused, looking in the direction of Liuyun City in the distance, with a hint of coldness in his expression.

Ji Hantong followed his line of sight and saw dozens of streams of light of different colors coming through the sky in the night. They were extremely fast and had clear targets. They were exactly where they were.

Lou Yuxing had just put away the body of his sect member when he noticed something strange. He stood up straight and put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

However, within a few breaths, those streams of light came closer and turned into silhouettes falling down. There were nearly a hundred people with different clothes and decorations. Their auras were mixed but not weak, with a faint chilling meaning.

They quickly dispersed and surrounded Shen Lanchuan, Ji Hantong and Lou Yuxing.Most of these people’s clothes are embroidered with a unified cloud pattern and the emblem of crossed swords – the symbol of the Immortal Alliance Picket Department.The leaders were mostly in the Golden Core stage, and there were even two or three monks in the early Nascent Soul stage. Their faces were solemn and their eyes were fixed on Shen Lanchuan.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.The wind in the wilderness seemed to have stopped, leaving only the hustle and bustle in the distance and the slight sound of the monks’ clothes flying nearby.

Outside the encirclement, the crowd automatically separated into a road.A figure wearing a dark gray cloud-patterned Taoist robe and a jade crown walked slowly over.The person who came here was about forty years old, with a fair face and beardless face, straight facial features, and the majesty of a long-standing high-ranking person and a kind of just the right elegance between his brows.

His steps were steady, and his aura was restrained and harmonious, clearly showing his cultivation in the late stage of divine transformation.It was Xu Jin’an, the master of Lingxi Palace and the current leader of the Immortal Alliance.

Xu Jinan was followed by several people with extraordinary auras, who were obviously followers of high-level monks.He stopped a few steps away from Shen Lanchuan and the others. His eyes first fell on Shen Lanchuan, and then he glanced at Ji Hantong and Lou Yuxing who looked embarrassed. His eyes stayed on Ji Hantong’s face for a moment, and a trace of surprise and in-depth investigation flashed across his eyes, but he soon returned to calmness.

Xu Jinan bowed his hands and saluted, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing: “Mingshu Immortal, Yuheng Immortal, long time no see, you two are well.” The etiquette is thorough and you can’t fault it.

Shen Lanchuan looked indifferent: “Leader Xu.”

Ji Hantong also nodded slightly as a return gift. Xu Jinan’s attitude clearly meant that he was not a good person.

Ji Hantong didn’t have much contact with Xu Jin’an. He only knew that he was the master of Lingxi Palace. He took over as the leader of the Immortal Alliance three hundred years ago. He was very skillful and managed the originally loose alliance of the Immortal Alliance in an orderly manner. His reputation in the world of cultivation was not low.

This person has always been known for being fair and prudent and taking the overall situation into consideration. Now that he has led the crowd and put up such a formation, his purpose is self-evident.

Sure enough, Xu Jin’an did not exchange greetings after the greeting. He turned his eyes to Shen Lanchuan, and his tone was still gentle, but with an obvious questioning meaning: “I received an urgent report from Liuyun City, saying that the Duobao Pavilion headquarters suffered a huge change, the nine-story tower was almost completely destroyed, and the city was shaken. According to many witnesses, it was Mingshu Immortal who took action. Is this possible?”

Hearing this, Ji Hantong also looked at Shen Lanchuan in surprise.He knew that Shen Xuzhi dared to kidnap him, so he must have worked hard to trap Shen Lanchuan. Since he could trap Shen Lanchuan, there would be quite a stir, but he didn’t expect that the commotion would be so big, and that even Shang Wenyan, the master of Duobao Pavilion, would collude with Shen Xuzhi?Where does Shen Xuzhi come from so much charm?

Xu Jin settled down for a moment, then glanced at the surrounding Immortal Alliance monks who were waiting in formation, and then looked at Shen Lanchuan, with a low voice: “The Immortal Lord Mingshu is a man of heavenly cultivation and has high morals and prestige. He has always been admired by the world of cultivation. He is also the pillar that the Immortal Alliance relies on when dealing with many crises. I have always believed that the Immortal Lord is a person with a righteous heart.”

“But Liuyun City is the hub of the East, and Duobao Pavilion is an important chamber of commerce with a good reputation in the world of cultivation. There are tens of thousands of monks in the city. Even if there is a huge reason, the Immortal Lord acts like this, regardless of the safety of the surrounding people, causing such destruction and panic. Is it too wanton and reckless?”

“Or is it that the Immortal Lord, relying on his own strength and the support of the Taixuan Dao Sect behind him, doesn’t take us ordinary monks seriously?Do you really think that the Immortal Alliance is just a decoration?!”

The eyes of the surrounding Immortal Alliance monks also became sharper with Xu Jin’an’s words, waiting for Shen Lanchuan’s answer.

When Lou Yuxing heard this, his expression changed, and he was about to speak to defend Shen Lanchuan, but was stopped by Ji Hantong’s look.

“When I breached the tower of Duobao Pavilion, I sacrificed a magic weapon shield left by my master, so that no one around would be harmed.”Shen Lanchuan’s expression did not change when faced with Xu Jin’an’s questioning.

“Then why did you seriously injure Master Shang Pavilion and destroy Duobao Pavilion? Immortal Lord must give people a reason, right?”Xu Jin’an still pressed forward step by step.

“Shang Wenyan colluded with Shen Xuzhi to kidnap my junior brother, but only seriously injured him. I have already done my best to be kind and righteous.”Shen Lanchuan said.

Ji Hantong nodded crazily from behind, “That’s it!”

Xu Jinan frowned: “Then it seems that this matter is an internal struggle within Zichen Valley. Does it have to be so involved?”

The expressions of Shen Lanchuan and Ji Hantong instantly turned cold. Xu Jinan’s words seemed light, but they were very vicious.First, the bad relationship between Shen Lanchuan and Zi Chen Gu is not a secret in the world of cultivation. Xu Jinan also tied Shen Lanchuan and Zi Chen Gu together, which was nothing more than a stab in his heart; second, when these words came out, to other people’s ears, it seemed as if Shen Lanchuan was a very petty person who wanted to drag the people of the city into trouble because of the conflict with his concubine.

*

Ji Hantong pulled Shen Lanchuan behind him, faced Xu Jinan directly, and began to output: “First of all, what is the internal fighting in Zichen Valley?Shen Lanchuan is from our Taixuan Dao Sect. Do you hear me clearly?We are, Tai, Xuan, Tao, Zong, people!What bullshit Zichen Valley, don’t get involved.”

Shen Lanchuan blinked, calmly approached Ji Hantong, and said “weakly”: “Well, I am from the Taixuan Taoist Sect.”It’s a small wooden person.

Ji Hantong held Shen Lanchuan’s hand and patted it gently, as if to signal him not to be afraid.

“Secondly, what does Alliance Leader Xu mean by asking so confidently? The world of cultivation is based on the law of the jungle and respects strength. Shang Wenyan couldn’t beat my senior brother by himself and was seriously injured because he was incapable. Why did you come over to question my senior brother?My senior brother has not harmed innocent people. In the final analysis, we only have grudges and grievances. Shouldn’t Leader Xu come to question anyone who has a grudge? I think you just think that my senior brother is easy to bully.”

“You are presumptuous!”Xu Jin’an’s face was ashen. He didn’t have much impression of Yuheng Immortal Lord Ji Hantong. He only knew that he was cold and aloof and never went out all year round. He didn’t expect that he could be so talkative.

“Be as bold as you want, what can you do to me?Ji Hantong did not give in, “Associate Leader Xu has the time to spend time with us here, so why not go investigate what’s going on with Shen Xuzhi?”At first sight, that person had practiced evil arts, and he might have fallen into the devil’s way. Such a scum could actually appear in the world of cultivation. This is really the dereliction of duty of Master Shen Valley and the dereliction of duty of Alliance Leader Xu!”

“What evil skill?”Xu Jin’an’s eyes flashed.

“Leader Xu, let him decide what to do,” Ji Hantong was too lazy to make excuses with him, “Where is Shang Wenyan?We want to see him.”

Xu Jinan did not answer directly: “Immortal Yuheng, even if Master Shang has done something sorry to you, Immortal Mingshu has already taken revenge, and Master Shang has paid the due price. Are you still going to be so aggressive and pursue him?”

“…”

*

“Wow, why is this leader Xu speaking so unpleasantly?No, host, I can’t bear it anymore, I really want to scold him!”System 0621 got angry and screamed in Ji Hantong’s mind.

Ji Hantong was also laughed out of anger: “The words of Alliance Leader Xu are really interesting. When doing business, it is natural to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. This has been the truth since ancient times.Now that the Shang Pavilion Master has accepted the money but has not handed over Yuxinlan to us, can’t we still ask him for an explanation?There are 16 million high-grade spiritual stones. If the money is gone, will Alliance Leader Xu pay for us?”

“16 million high-grade spiritual stones?”Xu Jin’an frowned even more when he heard this. It was obvious that the matter was more complicated than he expected.

There was also a low gasp from the Immortal Alliance monks behind him. This number was by no means a small number for any force.

At this moment, a stream of light rushed from the direction of Liuyun City, landed beside Xu Jin’an, and transformed into a young monk wearing the attire of a deacon of the Immortal Alliance.The monk looked anxious, bowed to Xu Jin’an, and quickly transmitted a few words.

Xu Jin’an’s face darkened visibly. He raised his hand to stop all the discussions around him, and looked at Shen Lanchuan and Ji Hantong with complex eyes. When he spoke, his voice lost its previous threatening aura, and instead had a hint of solemnity and helplessness: “I just received the exact news that Shang Wenyan is missing.”

“Missing?Ji Hantong raised his eyebrows, “Does Leader Xu mean that he ran away?”Did you run away with that priceless jade heart orchid and countless treasures from Duobao Pavilion?”

The sarcasm in his tone was undisguised, “The Immortal Alliance’s business capabilities are really strong. A large group of people came here to surround me and my senior brother. I wonder how many people the Shang Pavilion Master has left to look after us?”

Xu Jinan was choked and looked a little ugly, but he couldn’t refute.He said in a deep voice: “The Immortal Alliance will definitely investigate this matter with all its strength and give you both an explanation.As for Jade Heart Orchid…”

Lou Yuxing on the side heard that Yu Xinlan might have disappeared with Shang Wenyan, and he immediately became anxious. Without caring about etiquette, he stepped forward and said urgently: “Leader Xu, Immortal Yu Heng!That Jade Heart Orchid is related to my master’s life. If it is really taken away by Shang Wenyan, master he…”

His voice was choked and his eyes were filled with despair.

“Master Lou, please be patient. We won’t know until the people of the Immortal Alliance have investigated clearly. We have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse to find Jade Heart Orchid by ourselves.” Ji Hantong raised his hand to calm him down and looked sharply in the direction of the ruins of Duobao Pavilion. “Shang Wenyan fled in a hurry. He may not have time to return to the inner treasury to take away the Jade Heart Orchid. Maybe the things are still inside.”

Ji Hantong looked at Xu Jinan and said, “Leader Xu, the matter has come to an end. There is no point in arguing about who is right and who is wrong. We have urgent matters, so we won’t talk to you any more.”

Several people left quickly.

*

In Liuyun City, the once prosperous area was now in a state of chaos.Most of the nine-story tower has collapsed, leaving only broken walls, masonry and charred wood mixed with wisps of smoke.The surrounding street buildings were also affected to varying degrees. Fortunately, as Shen Lanchuan said, there were shields at that time to isolate most of the destructive force, and no civilians were injured or injured.

The monks from the Immortal Alliance have been at the scene to maintain order and clean up the ruins.

Shen Lanchuan and Ji Hantong were the first to fall, followed by Xu Jinan and others.As soon as they landed, everyone could feel the violent spiritual energy fluctuations remaining in the air and the lingering lingering sword intent that had not yet dissipated.The sharp sword intent left by Shen Lanchuan when he broke through the formation still made some lower-level Immortal Alliance monks feel short of breath.

“Mingshu Immortal Master’s sword energy… is truly terrifying.”Xu Jin’an felt the remaining sword intent, his heart was filled with fear, and he had a more intuitive understanding of Shen Lanchuan’s strength.

Ji Hantong had no time to sigh. He concentrated for a moment and said to Shen Lanchuan: “Brother, can you temporarily remove the debris on the surface? I sense something abnormal deep below.”

Shen Lanchuan nodded and made a secret with his fingertips.

In an instant, a gentle yet majestic force covered the entire ruined area.The piles of rubble and rubble quietly moved away, revealing the originally covered ground below.

As the surface ruins were cleared, the foundation of Duobao Pavilion originally paved with special spiritual materials was revealed below.

On the foundation, the original complex protective formation had been destroyed by Shen Lanchuan’s sword energy. The lines were broken and the aura was dim.

But under these broken formation patterns, close to the core of the original inner reservoir area, some more obscure patterns can be seen faintly flickering on the ground. It would be extremely difficult to detect them if Ji Hantong hadn’t pointed them out and Shen Lanchuan had cleared away the surface obstacles.

“Sure enough, there is something fishy.” Ji Hantong stepped forward, squatted down, gathered a little spiritual power on his fingertips, and gently touched the obscure lines.

“There is a layer of restrictions hidden underneath.” Shen Lanchuan also walked over, “The surface layer is the internal defense array on the surface, and the layer below is the real core.”

“Senior brother, can you break it open?” Ji Hantong looked at Shen Lanchuan.

Shen Lanchuan did not hesitate, and pointed like a sword, and a condensed sword light shot out from his fingertips.

“Buzz——”

There was a low humming sound, and the layer of obscure lines of light flashed rapidly for a few times, and then quickly dimmed and dissipated.The ground sank silently downwards, revealing a deep passage that could only accommodate one person.

Ji Hantong and Shen Lanchuan looked at each other and nodded.Shen Lanchuan stepped into the passage first, followed closely by Ji Hantong and Lou Yuxing. Xu Jinan hesitated for a moment, but did not choose to go down, but stayed on top.

The passage extends downward, deep and narrow, and the air is filled with rich spiritual energy.

Shen Lanchuan walked at the front, ready to deal with possible traps or traps at any time, Ji Hantong followed closely, and Lou Yuxing followed at the end, feeling anxious and full of hope, his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

The passage was not long. After descending for about a few dozen feet, a small secret room suddenly opened up in front of me.

The secret room is filled with countless treasures of heaven and earth. In the center of the secret room is a lotus platform carved from a single piece of cold jade, with a crystal clear ice jade box suspended above it. It is exactly the kind of special container used to hold jade heart orchids at auctions.

“Found it!” Lou Yuxing whispered excitedly, his eyes fixed on the ice jade box.

Ji Hantong signaled him to be calm, and he and Shen Lanchuan stepped forward to inspect carefully.The ground and walls around the lotus platform are covered with protective formations, which are vaguely connected to the entire Liuyun City ground.

“The formation is intact and there are no traces of being tampered with. It seems that Shang Wenyan did not have time to move.” Shen Lanchuan came to a conclusion after investigating, and then pointed out the points and accurately broke several layers of seals around the jade box.

Although these seals are exquisite, they do not pose much hindrance to him.

A thousand-year-old jade heart orchid with perfect shape and warm jade color lies peacefully in a box covered with ice silk brocade.

Ji Hantong carefully took it out and carefully examined it with his spiritual consciousness. After confirming that there were no traces of manipulation or contamination with evil spirits, he handed it to Lou Yuxing, who was already impatient: “Keep it away. This medicine has pure medicinal properties and is indeed a holy product for healing.”

Lou Yuxing took it with trembling hands. His throat rolled and his eye circles turned red again. He bowed deeply to Ji Hantong and Shen Lanchuan and choked with sobs: “Thank you two immortals… junior… I will thank you for your great kindness on behalf of Qingyun Mountain!”

“Without further delay, let’s return to Qingyun Mountain as soon as possible.” Ji Hantong said.

Although Jade Heart Orchid has been obtained, Song Mianbai’s condition is unknown. The sooner he can refine the elixir, the better.

The three of them quickly returned along the original route without further delay.Lou Yuxing’s heart was filled with great hope, and his steps were much lighter than when he came, as if he had seen his master’s recovery.

However, when they walked out of the passage and returned to Duobao Pavilion, they noticed something strange in the atmosphere.

There were more Immortal Alliance monks around than when they went down, but most of these people had complicated expressions on their faces. Their eyes looking at Lou Yuxing were full of sympathy, regret, intolerance… and even a hint of pity.

Xu Jinan stood in front of the crowd, his face as serious as water and his brows furrowed. When he saw the three people coming out, especially when he saw the unconcealed joy and hope on Lou Yuxing’s face, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and something strange flashed in his eyes.

Lou Yuxing’s heart skipped a beat at the strange atmosphere, and he felt an ominous premonition inexplicably.He subconsciously touched the storage bag in his arms, as if he wanted to gain some confidence from it, and saluted Xu Jin’an with a forced smile: “Leader Xu, Jade Heart Orchid has been found. This junior will rush back to Qingyun Mountain to heal the master. Thank you, Leader Xu, and fellow Taoists for waiting here.”

Xu Jinan was silent for a moment and did not respond to his thanks. Instead, he slowly took out a light blue jade slip from his sleeve.The jade slips are made of ordinary material, but they exude a heavy and solemn atmosphere.

“Little friend Lou,” Xu Jin’an’s voice was filled with a sigh, “Just now… Qingyun Mountain sent an urgent message.”

He paused, looked at Lou Yuxing with complex eyes, and said word by word:

“The leader of your noble sect, fellow Taoist Song Mianbai passed away half an hour ago.”
