The person who came from Green Jade Palace to welcome them was Guan Longzhao. He looked from afar and realized that he couldn't tell what Liang Jinglong's cultivation was. It was as if he was covered by a layer of fog and his aura wasn't leaked out at all. His heart sank.
His expression didn't change on the surface. He stepped on the cloud light and came close. He bowed and said, "Is this Liang Shangzhen? I am Guan Longzhao. The palace specially ordered me to come and welcome you."
As for Han Su, he could only pretend that he didn't see her. Although she was once the master of a world, her dharma body had been destroyed and she was no longer a threat.
Liang Jinglong raised his hand slightly and returned the bow. He smiled and said, "I heard that the person in charge of the palace is Elder Peng Xinhu. Is that true?"
Guan Longzhao replied, "Yes."
Liang Jinglong revealed an emotional expression and said, "In the past, when I came to this place, I met Elder Peng once. At that time, he was just an ordinary elder in his palace. Who would have thought that he would be the head of the Hall Manager now."
Guan Longzhao said, "The palace has changed a lot since Liang Shangzhen came back. It's normal that Shangzhen doesn't know."
Liang Jinglong said meaningfully, "Now that I have returned to this place, I want to take a look around."
Guan Longzhao lowered his head slightly and said, "Elder Peng is already waiting in the palace. Please follow me."
Liang Jinglong agreed and activated the carriage, following Guan Longzhao through the Ten Thousand Empty Ring. Not long later, they arrived on the Cloud Continent and headed towards a floating island in the sky.
When they arrived in front of a bright golden hall, Guan Longzhao said, "Liang Shangzhen, Elder Peng is waiting in the hall."
At this moment, a disciple on duty came up and bowed to Han Su and her daughter. He said, "Two esteemed guests, the palace has already prepared a guest house. Please follow me."
Han Su and her daughter looked at Liang Jinglong. The latter waved his sleeve and said, "It's fine if you two go and find a place to settle down first. I'll come over later." He then looked at Guan Longzhao and said meaningfully, "The Green Jade Palace controls the Yuhuan Heavens, so there shouldn't be any accidents here."
Guan Longzhao said sternly, "Shang Liang, you're wrong. My Green Jade Palace isn't the master of Yu Huan. I'm merely an ally with the cultivators of the various worlds."
"Oh, is that so?" Liang Jinglong playfully smiled and said, "We have already wasted a lot of time here. Don't let Elder Peng wait for too long."
Guan Longzhao made an inviting gesture. Liang Jinglong laughed and strode inside.
Elder Peng was already waiting there, but his expression was calm. Liang Jinglong didn't mind. The two of them exchanged greetings and sat down.
After exchanging greetings, Elder Peng dismissed most of the people in the hall, leaving only his trusted deacon at the side. He then said, "There hasn't been any news from your world for tens of thousands of years. May I know how it is now?"
Liang Jinglong casually said, "Thank you for your concern, Elder Peng. Previously, the Bailing Heavens was only besieged by a powerful enemy. Now that we've defeated them, we've suffered great losses. I don't know when they'll attack again, so I came to your place to ask you to fulfill your promise."
Elder Peng Daoren said, "Since it's a promise from the palace, I won't shirk it. I just want to ask, how's my teacher?"
Liang Jinglong regretfully sighed and said, "Your teacher, Elder Gu, passed away ten thousand years ago."
Elder Peng didn't show any sadness. No one who went to the Bailing Heavens had ever returned. When Elder Peng went, he had already expected this result. He pondered for a moment and said, "How many people are you going to take away today?"
Liang Jinglong said, "This isn't my problem alone. When I came out, the sect had already drafted the rules." He took out a Jade Talisman from his sleeve. "Please take a look, Elder Peng."
Elder Peng took it and looked at it for a while. His brows gradually furrowed. "Isn't it a little too much?"
Liang Jinglong said, "Ever since the battle, I've been short on manpower. No one knows when the enemy will come again. Furthermore, the number of people I'm asking for hasn't exceeded the number agreed upon by our two clans."
Elder Peng pondered for a moment and said, "Right now, everything here isn't stable and needs some time to reorganize. If Liang Shangzhen isn't in a hurry, let me think about this matter carefully."
Liang Jinglong chuckled and stood up. "It's fine. I'm not in a hurry to leave this time. Elder Peng, you can take your time to think about it. I won't disturb you any longer today."
Elder Peng personally escorted him out of the hall. After he returned, he called out, and with a flash of light, a formation spirit that looked like a maid appeared in the hall. He instructed, "Keep an eye on this person. I want to know his whereabouts. If there's anything, report to me at any time."
The Formation Spirit acknowledged the order, bowed, and then disappeared.
The Daoist attendant asked, "Elder, do you suspect something?"
Elder Peng Daoren said, "I just feel that this person is a little strange. Back then, Bing Ling Heaven was attacked by demons just like our Universal Heaven. If it's really as he said and the demons were repelled, then it's fine. If it's not like that …"
Although he didn't continue, the Daoist attendant understood that if the result was the opposite, then Bing Ling Heaven might have already been destroyed by the demons. Liang Jinglong himself might have been sent here by them. Although this might not be the case, it was indeed necessary to be on guard.
At this moment, a spiritual light flew in from outside the hall. The Daoist attendant summoned it over and said, "Elder, that Liang Shangzhen didn't return to the guesthouse. He went to the Golden Edict Hall first."
Elder Peng thought for a while and said, "I understand. Keep an eye on him. There's one more thing I need you to do for me."
The Daoist attendant said, "Please instruct me, Elder."
Peng Daoren said, "Find a way to understand the situation in Bing Ling Heaven."
The Daoist attendant bowed and said, "Elder, if that place is really occupied by demons, ordinary disciples won't be able to go there."
Elder Peng took off a talisman and handed it to him. "Take this talisman to the Secret Hall and ask the elders there to help."
Liang Jinglong stayed in the Golden Edict Hall for a whole day. Just Now, he came out and returned to the guesthouse. Han Su came over and asked, "Husband, did you find anything?"
Liang Jinglong smiled and said, "Peng Xinhu will not easily give me an answer before he understands my background. We still have to wait. I believe that the people heading to United Spirit Sky are already on their way, right?"
Han Su worriedly said, "Will there be anything wrong?"
Liang Jinglong said, "What can be wrong? I've already made arrangements. They won't be able to see anything. You can just stay here for the night. I've already ordered people to find a suitable place for you to reincarnate. I believe there will be news in a few days."
Han Su said, "I'll listen to husband's arrangements. However, I hope husband will pay more attention to my daughter's cultivation."
Liang Jinglong glanced at her and said, "Xiaoruo is also my daughter. I won't let her delay her."
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
Liang Jinglong was extremely patient. During this time, he only went to the Golden Edict Hall and the guesthouse twice. Apart from that, he was guiding Han Xiaoruo in her cultivation. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary. However, he didn't relax his surveillance on him.
One day, he was talking to Han Su when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He said, "There are no outsiders here. Come out."
A figure gradually appeared. It was a handsome young cultivator. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother."
Liang Jinglong sat down and said, "Tell me, how is it?"
The young cultivator said, "Senior Brother, I've already taken a look. The formation outside the Xuanhong Heaven World is still there. It didn't disperse after Priest Zhang took away the Mystic Stone. Further outside, there's the Jade Kun guarding it. I was discovered the moment I arrived there, so I didn't dare to stay for long. Forgive me for being straightforward, but it's not the right time to go there."
Han Su was puzzled. "Husband wants to go to the Xuanhong Heaven? That divine item has already been taken away by Priest Zhang. "
Liang Jinglong laughed and said, "Back then, Great Underworld Patriarch stayed in the Xuanhong Heaven for a long time. He might have left many good things behind."
Han Su shook her head. "The Luo Mountain Monastery has occupied the Xuanhong Heaven for millions of years. If they had these things, they would have already taken them away."
Liang Jinglong said, "That might not be the case. I won't be satisfied if I don't take a look. Not only the Xuanhong Heaven, there are many other worlds that I want to go to. You don't have to ask anymore."
Han Su looked at him deeply. She guessed that Liang Jinglong might know something that no one knew but was just unwilling to tell her. However, her Dharmakaya had already dissipated, so it was useless to think about it. Hence, she didn't say anything more. She only said, "Since husband has something to discuss, I'll take my leave first."
With that, she bowed and went to the back of the hall.
After she left, Liang Jinglong used his divine will to transmit a message. "Junior Brother, what do you think of these days?"
The young cultivator replied, "Peng Xinhu is quite capable. Within the heavens, most of them have been subdued by him. If we were given more time, we wouldn't have the chance to intervene even if we wanted to."
Liang Jinglong said, "I've waited here to make a vow in front of His Majesty. If I don't destroy the Karma Method, my life will be in danger."
The young cultivator said, "Senior Brother, do you have a plan?"
Liang Jinglong said, "The current situation is that Peng Xinhu is relying on his alliance to subdue the heavens. There are two ways to start. One is to find a way to provoke a conflict between him and his allies and break up their alliance. The second is to divert as many people from Green Jade Palace as possible. This way, both sides will lose their balance and internal strife will definitely occur. At that time, we will have a chance."
After a few words, the young cultivator left the divine will. Just as he was about to leave, he hesitated and asked, "Senior Brother, is there really a treasure in the Xuanhong Heaven?"
Liang Jinglong laughed. "Maybe, maybe not. You need to know that you're going to the Xuanhong Heaven. Do you really think that Peng Xinhu won't notice that you're going to the Xuanhong Heaven? I'm doing this for him and his allies to see. "
He knew that the Xuanhong Heaven had been stationed at the Luo Mountain Monastery for millions of years. Later on, Zhang Yan went there. Even if there was anything there, it would have been taken away long ago. Liang Jinglong was only doing this to confuse them so that the people of the Yuhuan heavens wouldn't be able to figure out their true purpose for coming here.
The young cultivator said tactfully, "Senior Brother, this … the Yuhuan heavens aren't stupid. I'm afraid no one will believe it so easily."
Liang Jinglong didn't mind. "It's just a casual move. Who knows when it will come in handy."
The young cultivator thought about it, then bowed and left.
However, the two of them didn't notice that as they were speaking, there was also an invisible shadow standing in the corner of the pavilion. Seeing that the young cultivator had left, the shadow also turned into an invisible wind and disappeared.
