The entrance to the Garden of Longevity was a hundred-meter-high stone gate.
There were eighteen guards guarding the gate, and outside the gate was a flat grassland.
Two middle-aged men, one tall and one short, were standing on the grassland, waiting quietly.
The tall and thin middle-aged man was wearing a robe embroidered with cloud patterns. He wore a feathered crown and held a silver horsetail whisk in his hand. He looked like a hermit.
The middle-aged man next to him was short and fat. He wore a black robe and was dressed as a guard.
Although they seemed to be waiting quietly for their summons.
But in fact, the two of them were secretly communicating with each other through spiritual sense.
The black-robed guard asked calmly, "Demon King, are you really going to talk to the Duanmu Huang face to face?"
The middle-aged man frowned and scolded him sternly, "Xue Li, remember to call me … Oh, no, call me Liuyun Zhenren. Don't let the cat out of the bag!"
The black-robed guard quickly said, "Demon … Sir, although we have taken over the bodies of two humans and used a secret technique to disguise ourselves as humans, the Duanmu Huang is a powerhouse in the Soul Refining Stage!
If he sees through your disguise, your life will be in danger! "
Liuyun Zhenren said confidently, "Don't worry, my secret technique has been perfected. There will be no flaws.
Besides, the Duanmu Huang must be furious with the upheaval of the Duanmu Family and only care about finding clues to the murderer.
He must be overjoyed to suddenly know about the murderer. Why would he think so much?
As long as my plan succeeds, I will be able to cause chaos in the world. It will be worth risking my life! "
Xue Li was shocked and confused. He quickly asked, "Sir, isn't your plan to use the Duanmu Family to deal with Ji Tianxing? How can you cause chaos in the world? "
Liuyun Zhenren said impatiently, "Hmph! I have great foresight. How can you understand the situation that I see and think about?
I don't have time to explain it to you now. If the plan succeeds, I will tell you the reason! "
Xue Li was still worried and asked again, "Sir, how can you be so sure that the Duanmu Huang hasn't found out that the murderer is Ji Tianxing?"
Daoist Master Flowing Cloud explained with a playful tone, "Ever since we came to Zhong Province, we have only done one thing, and that is to keep an eye on Ji Tianxing day and night!
Therefore, we know his whereabouts like the back of our hands!
On the other hand, the Duanmu Clan had many matters to attend to and had many enemies. It was impossible for them to keep an eye on Ji Tianxing all the time. Therefore, they definitely did not know all of Ji Tianxing's whereabouts and movements.
The Duanmu Huang would never have imagined that Ji Tianxing would be so audacious as to destroy their herb garden! "
The guard, Xue Li, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. His eyes were filled with admiration.
"My lord is indeed wise and farsighted! This subordinate wishes Milord's plan a success and all your wishes come true! "
Daoist Master Flowing Cloud nodded slightly and said, "Alright, it's too early to talk about this now. Wait until I meet the Duanmu Huang face to face.
In order to avoid being exposed, you don't have to follow me in later. Stay here and wait! "
Xue Li quickly nodded and said through telepathy, "This subordinate obeys. I await your good news!"
Not long after, a guard commander walked out of the gate of the Longevity Garden.
He came in front of Daoist Master Flowing Cloud and Xue Li and said calmly, "Daoist Master Flowing Cloud, my master invites you in. Please follow me."
After that, the guard commander led Daoist Master Flowing Cloud through the gate and into the Longevity Garden.
About 15 minutes later, the guard commander led Daoist Master Flowing Cloud into the main hall of a palace.
In the spacious and bright main hall, there stood four Duanmu Clan elders in purple robes.
The Duanmu Huang had already retracted his murderous aura and his pupils had returned to normal. He was sitting on the throne at the head of the hall.
When Daoist Master Flowing Cloud stepped into the main hall, the gazes of the Duanmu Huang and the four elders all landed on him, carefully sizing him up.
Daoist Master Flowing Cloud felt everyone's gaze and his heart tightened slightly. He was a little nervous, worried that he would be exposed.
Fortunately, he had perfectly concealed his aura and did not reveal any abnormalities or flaws.
He walked to the middle of the main hall with a calm expression and stood still. He bowed respectfully to the Duanmu Huang. "I am Mu Flowing Cloud. Greetings to Clan Leader Duanmu!"
The Duanmu Huang retracted his scrutinizing gaze and nodded slightly. "You may rise, Daoist Master Flowing Cloud."
Only then did Daoist Master Flowing Cloud raise his head and look calmly at the Duanmu Huang.
Although the Duanmu Huang's expression was calm and composed, he could see that the Duanmu Huang's heart was burning with anger and anxiety.
This gave him more confidence and made him look forward to his plan.
The Duanmu Huang did not beat around the bush and asked straightforwardly, "Daoist Master Flowing Cloud, do you know who the culprit who destroyed the herb garden is?"
"That's right!" Daoist Master Flowing Cloud nodded without hesitation.
The Duanmu Huang frowned and looked at him with a sharp gaze. He said in a dignified tone, "I have yet to find the culprit. How would you know?
Don't tell me that you happened to pass by the Longevity Garden and saw the culprit destroying the herb garden! "
Clearly, the Duanmu Huang did not trust Daoist Master Flowing Cloud.
Even if he had a glimmer of hope and allowed Daoist Master Flowing Cloud to meet him, he still kept his guard up.
Daoist Master Flowing Cloud revealed a playful smile and explained without hesitation. "Clan Leader Duanmu, you must be joking.
I did not pass by this place by chance. I have been following the culprit and saw him destroy the Longevity Garden with my own eyes. "
Hearing this, the Duanmu Huang raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "You have been following the culprit? Why? "
Daoist Master Flowing Cloud cupped his hands and said with a serious expression, "To tell you the truth, Clan Leader Duanmu, I am from the Myriad Spirit Tower. I have recently received a bounty mission, so I have been following that white-robed youth.
I did not expect that white-robed youth to be so daring and scheming to destroy the Duanmu Family's herb garden.
I guessed that Clan Leader Duanmu would be furious, so I wanted to do you a favor and form a good relationship with the Duanmu Family. That is why I have come to tell you the identity of that white-robed youth. "
Hearing the three words Myriad Spirit Tower, the Duanmu Huang nodded slightly and vaguely understood something.
The four Elders in the main hall also looked at each other. Daoist Master Flowing Cloud's vigilance dissipated.
The Myriad Spirit Tower was one of the top powerhouses in the Middle State. It was an assassin organization that struck fear in people.
Across the entire Tianxuan Continent, the Myriad Spirit Tower was the undisputed leader among the countless assassin organizations!
Anyone below the Spirit Refinement Stage could not escape the assassination of the Myriad Spirit Tower.
Even elite warriors at the Spirit Refinement Stage had been successfully assassinated by the Myriad Spirit Tower.
Of course, the Duanmu Huang knew that the strength of the Myriad Spirit Tower could not be underestimated.
He looked at Daoist Master Flowing Cloud with a burning gaze and asked in a low voice, "You are an assassin from the Myriad Spirit Tower? Who is the white-robed youth that you want to assassinate? "
Daoist Master Flowing Cloud nodded with a smile and said with a playful tone, "That white-robed youth is not only my assassination target, he is also someone that Clan Leader Duanmu hates to the bone.
