Spiritual Master Cao looked at Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan in front of him and asked in confusion, "Senior brother, shouldn't we adjust the direction of our investigation?"
Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan looked at Spiritual Master Cao with a smile and asked in a slightly testing tone, "What do you think, junior brother Cao?"
Spiritual Master Cao thought for a moment and seemed to be organizing his words. Then he said, "The cause of Martial Niece Xuanying's death was the mastermind who instigated Martial Niece Xuanying to plot against Martial Niece Lu Xuanping's demon pet. We thought that it was the mastermind's attempt to silence Martial Niece Xuanying and used it as a clue to investigate Senior Brother Xuanyun. But when we wanted to investigate further, we accidentally alerted the enemy and Senior Brother Xuanyun immediately betrayed the sect when he heard the news. After that, we set our sights on the spies of the demon race and the other sects, but we forgot that Martial Niece Lu Xuanping, who was tricked by Martial Niece Xuanying, might also kill for revenge. "
Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan nodded in satisfaction and said, "What else do you think, junior brother Cao?"
Spiritual Master Cao continued, "Of course, when it happened, Martial Niece Lu was still on Frost Island and naturally couldn't do it himself. But his girlfriend, Hu Lili, who is also a disciple of Senior Sister Xuanchen, was at Heaven Spirit Mountain at the time. And according to junior brother's knowledge, the disciples under Senior Sister Xuanchen have always been at odds with each other. The senior disciples look down on the new disciples, and Martial Niece Xuanying and Hu Lili are the leaders of the senior disciples and the new disciples. If that's the case …"
"If that's the case," Spiritual Master Guo Xuanshan continued, "Martial Niece Hu Lili is the most suspicious of killing Martial Niece Xuanying, am I right?"
Spiritual Master Cao couldn't tell what Spiritual Master Guo was thinking. He hesitated for a moment and said, "That's what junior brother thinks. Also, junior brother has secretly set up the Heaven Spying Formation in front of the Heaven's Spirit Hall. It can detect the situation inside the spirit beast bags of some cultivators."
"You've set up the Heaven Spying Formation in the Heaven's Spirit Hall? Nonsense. Once this matter is discovered, it will definitely cause an unnecessary storm in the sect. Remove it immediately. Yes, but there's no need to remove the Heaven Spying Formation embedded in the middle of the island. "
When Perfected Master Guo Xuanshan heard the words' Heaven Peeking Formation ', his expression changed. Even though his tone wasn't harsh, it was still unusually serious. Perfected Master Cao knew that Perfected Master Guo was doing this for his own good. Spying on someone else's privacy was akin to sowing enmity, a deep enmity at that. If someone from the sect continued to harass him, Perfected Master Cao wouldn't be able to absolve himself from the blame.
However, Zhenren Guo still glanced at Zhenren Cao and asked in a low voice, "How long has the Heaven Peering Formation been set up? Did you find anything?"
Daoist Cao shook his head and said with some regret, "I just discovered Junior Brother Xuan Bo's abnormality. I didn't expect him to actually join the demon race and become a human pet."
Perfected Master Guo Xuanshan didn't want to waste his breath on Perfected Master Xuanbo, so he smiled and said, "Didn't Martial Nephew Lu Xuanping's girlfriend just leave Tianling Mountain two days ago? Did she notice anything?"
Perfected Master Cao's expression was still calm as he said, "No, only the Amethyst Wasp. But before that, when Martial Nephew Lu returned to Tianling Mountain, his girlfriend went to the Heaven Spirit Hall to pick him up. Unfortunately, she didn't step into the range of the Heaven Peering Formation. Otherwise, she would've been able to find out if there was a snake spirit pet on him."
An imperceptible look flashed across Perfected Master Guo Xuanshan's eyes as he said, "You suspect that his girlfriend left her spirit pet on Martial Nephew Lu?"
Perfected Master Cao didn't say anything, as if he had tacitly agreed.
Perfected Master Guo Xuanshan pondered for a while before saying faintly, "Let's end this matter here."
Perfected Master Cao was startled. He opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Reverend Guo Xuanshan seemed to have already guessed what he wanted to say. He slowly said, "Putting aside the fact that it's just a suspicion, if they really did it, then forget about Martial Nephew Hu from before. Although he's a little clever, he's still unfamiliar with scheming, so he left a flaw in his plan. But since Martial Nephew Lu has returned, do you still think that he would leave a flaw in his plan? He's a person who has survived countless battles. Back then, he was chased to the East Sea by the beast tide, but didn't he still survive and return to the sect with his skills? Do you still expect a disciple like him to leave a flaw for you to investigate? "
"But?" Perfected Master Guo Xuanshan interrupted him just as Perfected Master Cao was about to speak. "The sect can't even protect such a person."
Perfected Master Cao seemed to understand Perfected Master Guo's words, but he still couldn't help saying, "But what if he was the one who ordered his girlfriend to kill Martial Nephew Xuanying? Are we just going to let them get away with it and ignore the sect's rules? "
Perfected Master Guo glanced at Perfected Master Cao and suddenly asked, "Junior Brother Cao, how much do you know about what happened to Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Sister Liu more than fifty years ago?"
Perfected Master Cao was stunned. He didn't know why Perfected Master Guo mentioned fifty years ago, but he still said, "I have a rough idea."
Perfected Master Guo continued to ask, "The two of them killed dozens of Core Forging cultivators from various sects in the North Sea and injured countless more. In the end, they even schemed against Fa Xiang Laozu. At that time, it could be said that they had incurred public anger in the North Sea. Why did Martial Uncle Tian Xiang protect the two of them at that time, even at the cost of falling out with all the sects?"
Perfected Master Cao only had a rough idea of these things. Now that he heard Perfected Master Guo mention it, he was a little stunned. He said, "They also schemed against Fa Xiang Laozu? Then, that sect should be cherishing talents? After all, the achievements of Senior Brother and Senior Sister are obvious to all. "
Perfected Master Guo Xuanshan nodded with satisfaction. He said, "Yes, they do cherish talents, but not all of them.
Perfected Master Cao was shocked. Suddenly, he thought of another person in the sect who was equally amazing and outstanding as Jiang and Liu.
Enlightened Master Guo's meaning was clear. This matter had come to an end and there was no point in continuing the investigation. Even if they could implicate Lu Ping, the matter would eventually be left unresolved. Not only that, it might even attract the interference of the higher-ranked cultivators in the sect. The sect wouldn't ruin a more valuable Core Forging Realm cultivator just for an ordinary Enlightened Master.
Perfected Master Cao was still a little unwilling. He said, "Isn't this a little too indulgent? What if he causes a greater disaster in the future and learns from Senior Sister Xuanqin, then … "
Perfected Master Guo's face turned solemn. He said, "There is another reason for Junior Sister Xuanqin's matter. Don't ask too much about this matter."
Only then did Perfected Master Cao realize that he had spoken too harshly. Perfected Master Guo paused for a moment before saying, "You don't have to worry. Junior Sister Xuanqin was proud and aloof in the past. There were only a few people in the sect who were worthy of her attention. Even someone like Senior Brother Liang … But Martial Nephew Lu is different. Not to mention Senior Brother Jiang's kindness, Senior Sister Liu is his teacher. Both Martial Uncles Tianlu and Tianjiang have helped him a lot. Martial Uncle Tianxiang also praised him a lot. Senior Brother Liang, Junior Brother Qu, Junior Brother Xuanhuo, and Junior Brother Xuansen are also on good terms with him. Even I owe him a favor. His closest friends are all outstanding talents in the sect. With the support of the sect, he established a foundation on Huangli Island. These are all his fetters. Zhenling is almost his everything.
He can't leave! "Naturally, Lu Ping did not know that the crisis had been resolved. However, even if there were still people investigating, he was confident that he would not be exposed due to his previous arrangements. Although Samling's identity was not exposed, there were many people who knew that he had a snake spiritual pet. However, these people were his close friends. Lu Ping did not believe that people like Yao Yong would tell on him. He could only do his best to protect him.
However, he was currently rushing to the back mountain of the Alchemy Pavilion. How could Lu Ping dare to neglect Tianlu Laozu's decree?
When Lu Ping entered Tianlu Laozu's cave, he saw that Tianjiang Laozu was also there. He could not help but be delighted. Could it be …
Tianjiang Laozu seemed to have seen through Lu Ping's thoughts at a glance. He laughed and scolded, "You're a smart kid. How can a talisman-level alchemy cauldron be made so easily? However, your Na Chuan cauldron is indeed a precious cauldron that has been passed down from ancient times. I believe that in a few years, it will be completed successfully. At that time, our sect will also have a talisman-level alchemy cauldron.
Tianjiang Laozu sighed and said, "Not bad, a talisman-level alchemy cauldron. If we had made it a hundred years earlier, I'm afraid that Brother Tianxiang would have long become a late Dharma adept. Brother Tiankang might even have a few more years to live."
Tianjiang Laozu was a little silent after hearing that. However, he looked at Lu Ping and said, "Kid, I've called you here today because I have a few things to discuss with you."
Lu Ping was a little frightened after hearing that. He hurriedly bowed and said, "What do the two Uncle-Masters have to say?"
What Lu Ping was most afraid of now was the elders looking for him to "discuss". The last time these two discussed with him, the "Na Chuan cauldron" had been fiddled with by the two of them for many years. Even if they compensated him with a "Linchuan cauldron" which was also a top-grade alchemy cauldron, Lu Ping still admired his own "Na Chuan cauldron". Although with Lu Ping's current alchemy skills and cultivation, two top-grade alchemy cauldrons did not make much of a difference to him.
Tianlu Laozu chuckled and said, "The" Na Chuan cauldron "becoming a magic weapon is a foregone conclusion. It's only a matter of time. However, after the" Na Chuan cauldron "becomes a magic weapon, I hope that I, Uncle-Master, will temporarily hold it for two years. After you become a Grandmaster Alchemist, I will return this alchemy furnace to you. How about it?"
Lu Ping himself also knew that if one's alchemy skills did not reach the Grandmaster level, there was not much difference between a top-grade alchemy furnace and a magic weapon level alchemy furnace in the hands of a Alchemist. Although he felt that it was a pity, he also understood that the sect would not take advantage of this alchemy furnace of Tianlu Laozu's hands. Instead of letting the "Na Chuan cauldron" become a magic weapon and wasting it in his own hands, it would be better to let Tianlu Laozu's hands make some contributions to the sect. Moreover, with the two Laozu's status, there was no need for them to say these things to Lu Ping. They could just directly use it. Now that they had proposed it to Lu Ping in such a serious manner, it was obvious that they wanted him to rest assured that the sect would not take advantage of this alchemy furnace of his.
Lu Ping nodded and said, "That should be the case!"
Tianlu and Tianjiang Laozu nodded their heads in satisfaction. They looked at each other and laughed, "You are worth teaching!"
Lu Ping looked at the two Laozu's. He thought that they had called him here today to talk about this matter, so he said, "If that's the case, this disciple will take his leave."
Lu Ping was about to walk out of the alchemy furnace when he heard Tianjiang Laozu wave his hand and said, "No hurry, I still have something to discuss with you!"
