"Is it that serious?"
Cecilia was confused. "But you also said that you showed your exorcism skills in front of Chen Rong during the battle at the Ancient Buddha Temple. Chen Rong didn't show any abnormalities. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Chen Rong is just a special case. He can't be used as a reference for other righteous people. What's more, Zhou Wu is a disciple of the Shang Qing sect. Even if the Shang Qing sect doesn't say it out loud, they definitely have complaints in their hearts. "
…
The next morning.
The disciples of the Shangqing school came to invite the guests to the Three Pristines Hall to discuss Taoism.
The Shangqing Grand Ceremony would last for three days. Today's' sitting discussion 'was merely a warm-up. The real highlight of the day was the sparring of martial arts on the second day. The elite disciples of the Shangqing Sect all had to compete and display their strengths.
Bai Xiaowen could see that this Shangqing Ceremony was purely the process of the Shangqing school showing its strength to the righteous sects. It was similar to the military exercises in the Christian era.
No wonder the ceremony was not postponed because of the strange death of a disciple. The death of a disciple was not mentioned, and there was no large-scale investigation.
Bai Xiaowen didn't have such concerns. He asked Cecilia to wear a bamboo hat and a veil and sit in a corner of the hall. He found a chance to sneak away and found a person.
A disciple of the Shangqing school with a thin face like a monkey.
He was the one who called him out on the night of Zhou Wu's death!
Bai Xiaowen learned some information about this skinny monkey from the conversations he had with the other disciples in a roundabout manner.
The thin monkey's name was Lu Sanding. He was an inner sect disciple, but his cultivation was not high. He didn't participate in the martial arts discussion on the second day. Because of this, he was arranged to entertain the guests and be in charge of receiving them.
After all, the Shangqing school was covered by the Protective Mountain Array. Except for a few limited safe areas, the other areas were regarded as "forbidden areas" for the guests. If the guests walked blindly without the guidance of the disciples, it was very likely that they would bump into restrictions.
Bai Xiaowen leaned over.
"How should I address you, senior from Shangqing school?"
The skinny monkey-like man was stunned. "I am Lu Sanding."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I am Lu Wang. I have long admired the beautiful scenery of Shangqing school. It is the best paradise in the world. She wanted to go sightseeing, but she didn't dare to walk around because of Shangqing school's mountain-protecting array. I wonder if Brother Lu can give me some pointers. "
Lu Sanding, the skinny monkey-like Lu Sanding, was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and said, "You're too polite, Fellow Daoist Lu. You're a guest, and you want to tour the Shangqing school. Of course, it's my duty to guide you."
Lu Sanding led Bai Xiaowen on a tour of the Shangqing school's strange peaks, secluded valleys, and winding water pavilions.
However, Lu Sanding seemed to have a lot on his mind. Although he tried his best to hide it, the way he pretended to be relaxed could be seen by anyone else, let alone Bai Xiaowen.
When they reached the entrance of a valley, they could faintly hear the sound of a waterfall.
Lu Sanding said, "Brother Lu, this place is called Sword-testing Valley. There are three hanging springs and waterfalls, and it is one of the most beautiful places in the inner sect."
Bai Xiaowen thanked him, and the two of them walked into the valley together.
Bai Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat. According to the map Chen Rong gave him, Sword-testing Valley was one of the "safe zones" of the mountain-protecting array. Sword-testing Valley was a place where the Shangqing school's disciples sparred. It wasn't a secret place, so naturally, there wouldn't be any restrictions set up.
Bai Xiaowen looked around and didn't see anyone around.
Sword-testing Valley would only become lively tomorrow. Today, whether it was the disciples of Shangqing school or the guests from other sects, they were all sitting in the Three Pure Ones Hall and discussing.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you seem to have something on your mind."
Lu Sanding was stunned and smiled. "I am indeed a little absent-minded. Brother Lu, please don't laugh at me …"
"What's on your mind? If it's convenient, can you tell me?"
Lu Sanding waved his hand and smiled. "I'm ashamed to say this, but I have a crush on a senior sister in the inner sect. However, she seems to be neither close nor distant to me. She refuses to become my cultivation partner … Brother Lu, please don't laugh at me."
Bai Xiaowen gave Lu Sanding a thumbs up in his heart.
Lu Sanding's ability to lie through his teeth was not bad. He could even casually talk about relationship issues. If it was someone else who didn't know, even someone as smart as Bai Xiaowen, they would have been fooled.
Bai Xiaowen knew this was a rare opportunity, so he went straight to the point. "Brother Lu, are you sure you don't have something on your mind because of Zhou Wu?"
Lu Sanding's eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly reacted and forced a smile. "Brother Lu, what are you talking about? I don't understand a single word you're saying. "
Bai Xiaowen laughed loudly. "Lu Sanding, you lured Zhou Wu to a secluded place last night and colluded with others to kill Zhou Wu. I saw it all with my own eyes. Don't try to deny it! "
Lu Sanding's expression changed drastically. He looked around and was relieved when he saw that there was no one else around.
"Haha … Lu Wang, you're really digging your own grave."
Lu Sanding's voice became a few degrees gloomier. He reached out and wiped his face, revealing the face of a skinny middle-aged man. He had a small mustache, and his eyes were full of shrewdness. He looked a bit like a landlord's accountant.
"Although I don't know what you're up to, the Holy Sect's plan cannot be disrupted. As an insider, it's better for you to die as soon as possible. Hahahaha … "
Lu Sanding waved his hand and four white talismans flew out. They shot towards the four corners. Suddenly, the sound of the waterfall and the wind outside disappeared. Heaven and earth were silent.
Obviously, these four talismans formed a temporary isolation array. It could at least block out sound.
Lu Sanding suddenly pulled out a long white banner and waved it at Bai Xiaowen. He shouted, "Fall!"
Bai Xiaowen felt a wave of drowsiness. He felt as if his soul was about to leave his body.
However, Bai Xiaowen still stood firmly. The pure True Inner Force in his body automatically circulated and easily dispelled the drowsiness. The True Inner Force's base priority was as high as eight points!
If this was in the world of the awakened ones, the result of priority suppression would be immunity to the opponent's control skills.
However, this was the world of the evolved ones. The result of priority suppression was that the opponent's control skills were greatly weakened. This not only meant the duration of the control, but also the power of the control.
If it was an attack on an ordinary person, it would be enough to cause their soul to leave their body and cause them to fall into a deep sleep. However, Bai Xiaowen only felt a wave of drowsiness that was quickly dispelled by itself.
Not only that, Lu Sanding's rash actions also triggered the Eye of Evolution's counterattack!
His True Inner Force was restless and tried to enter his left eye.
This time, Bai Xiaowen did not suppress the flow of his True Inner Force. He also wanted to see how strong the counterattack of the Eye of Evolution's True Inner Force was in the evolved ones' plane.
"Ah!"
Lu Sanding screamed. He threw the banner away and squatted down with his hands on his head. Blood flowed out of his nostrils.
Bai Xiaowen could see that Lu Sanding's health points had suddenly dropped by 20%! Moreover, the circulation of energy in his body was greatly disrupted. If he had to find a word to describe it, it would be "Qi Deviation"!
