The undercurrents in Jinping Villa were turbulent, and the clouds on Mount Qingcheng were treacherous.
On one hand, Di Lingtian had already completed the Sky Cleansing Altar at the peak of Mount Kunlun, which was also known as the spiritual energy hub of heaven and earth. He had also obtained the Nine Cauldrons Qi Breaking Technique from half of the Tomes of Arcane. He only needed to wait for his injuries from the battle for the Tomes of Arcane to recover, then he could break the King Yu Cauldron that stabilized the Kunlun earth energy. He could then use the Sky Cleansing Altar to absorb the pure spiritual energy from all over Kunlun and achieve the most perfect Five Decrepit Heavens Technique.
On the other hand, Wei Wushuang's treatment had finally seen a glimmer of hope due to the arrival of the Miracle Doctor Chu Bainiu. The time for Chu Bainiu's acupuncture was set, and now was the final stage of preparation.
Would Di Lingtian complete his transformation first, or would Wei Wushuang recover from the stone seal first? The answer to this question could change the outcome of the battle. No matter which side seized the opportunity first, it would break the stalemate between the good and evil sides all these years.
The cold autumn wind blew, and everyone felt that the final battle was coming!
As the key person who could affect the situation, Ji Fengming was currently taking care of a slumbering, skinny Daoist.
Ji Fengming picked up a wet towel and gently wiped the Daoist's face. She was so meticulous that it seemed like she wanted to iron out every wrinkle on the Daoist's face.
Under his meticulous care, the Daoist slowly woke up. His cloudy eyes regained their vigor, and he quickly sat up and said, "Aiyo, acting Palace Master, you're really flattering me. How can I let you serve me?"
Ji Fengming pressed down on him, preventing him from rising. She then pulled out a pillow and placed it behind his waist, allowing him to sit up. At the same time, she said, "There is no substitute sect leader. If there is, then it should be Elder Uncle Li Wuqi. Only … alas, in short, Ji Fengming is of the younger generation.
"No, no, I'll do it myself …" The Daoist evaded, and suddenly became alert, "Wait, why am I here?"
Ji Fengming asked, "How much does Martial Uncle Fan remember?"
The Daoist frowned, as if he was trying hard to recall, "I only remember that you said you wanted to assist in the battle for the Tomes of Arcane and asked me, Junior Brother Sun, and Junior Brother Qian to replace you to look after Sect Master Wushuang … It was originally peaceful, but at night, someone seemed … Yes! Someone stretched out a finger and poked the back of my head, then I lost consciousness! "
This Taoist was Fan Wujiang, the only one who survived among the three people guarding the Celestial Master Cave. Hearing his words, Ji Fengming sighed and said, "It seems like Uncle-Master Sun and Uncle-Master Qian attacked from behind …"
Fan Wujiang was stunned. He said blankly, "Junior-apprentice Brother Sun and Junior-apprentice Brother Qian, why are they pointing at me?"
Ji Fengming said, "The two of them attacked and assassinated Master!"
"What? How is that possible! "Fan Wujiang almost jumped out of bed.
Ji Fengming comforted her, "It was indeed them, there is no doubt about that. But I can't figure out why they did it. Uncle-Master was the last person to come into contact with them. Did you find any clues or feel that they were different from the past?"
Fan Wu Jiang shook his head and said, "This … I was focused on guarding and did not converse with them. I did not discover anything. As for being different from the past … ah, ever since we abandoned Kun Lun, who is still the same as before? By the way, where's your master? Is he alright? "
"Uncle-Master, don't worry. Master is safe and sound." Ji Fengming finished and bowed to Fan Wujiang, saying, "Uncle-Master Fan, please forgive this junior for deceiving you. In order to prevent anything from happening to Master, I have already secretly moved Master from the Celestial Master Cave to Morning Sun Peak! Asking Uncle-Master to guard the Celestial Master Cave was just a cover-up. "
"It's good that you are fine! It's good that you are fine! " Fan Wujiang let out a long breath and said with lingering fear, "Your master is the true pillar of Wan Xiang Heavenly Palace. If something happens to him, our sect will really be in trouble."
He suddenly said, "I said the wrong thing again. Shizhi, don't take offense. I am not saying that you can't hold up the sect. I am just saying that in the fifty years we have been in the same sect, your master's Dao heart is strong and his sincerity in seeking Dao is something I have never seen in anyone else. So we all believe that as long as your master is here, there will be Wan Xiang Heavenly Palace. Even though we are living under someone else's roof now, as long as your master recovers, he will definitely bring us back to Kun Lun!"
Ji Fengming's expression darkened slightly and she sighed, saying, "When did Uncle-Master say the wrong thing? I am not far from Master. Otherwise, a mere two years would not have caused dissension in our sect and caused Uncle-Master Sun and Uncle-Master Qian to do such things. "
"We can only blame the pervasive Dao of the human world and their ruthlessness. Sigh. We have been brothers for so many years. What kind of blackmail was used against them? What kind of benefits were promised to make them do such a disgraceful thing! " Fan Wujiang sighed and said, "As for you, Shizhi, the only difference between you and your master is the accumulation of years. You are so unduly humble. You are not like the first time I met you. You acted as if there was no one else around."
Ji Fengming said, "I was young and ignorant then. I did not know the big picture. Does Uncle-Master still remember?"
"How could I not remember? When you met me for the first time, you had the same expression and the same words as when your master met me for the first time. From then on, I knew that your accomplishments would definitely not be inferior to your master's." Recalling the past, the corners of Fan Wujiang's mouth drooped, showing his old age. He waved his hand and said, "Sigh, Shizhi, you should leave. I know you are busy and will not specially take care of an old man like me. But I am useless. I do not know why Shidi Qian and Shidi Sun betrayed me, and I cannot provide you with any clues."
Ji Fengming said, "Uncle-Master, it is your turn to be unduly humble again. Back then, you were also a hero of a time with Uncle-Master Li Wuqi. Wanxiang Heavenly Palace also needs you!"
"Heh, what do you mean by a time. I was young and shallow back then, so I could barely keep up with Li Wuqi. Didn't I get left behind by him later on? Compared to your master, the difference is like heaven and earth …" Fan Wujiang waved his hand again. He closed his eyes and leaned on the pillow on the bed. He seemed to be reminiscing about the past and also silently sending his guest away.
Ji Fengming was also tactful. She lightly bowed and silently took her leave.
After staying for a long time, it was already nighttime. Fan Wujiang opened his eyes again. His eyes were cold and clear, completely devoid of the muddle-headed look of old age.
He got off the bed, put on his Daoist robe, and walked out of the room to a secret place. After confirming that there was no one around, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his Daoist robe, folded it a few times, and folded it into the shape of a paper crane.
Then, with a light push, the paper crane actually flew up as if it had come to life.
After watching the paper crane fly far away, he let out a sigh of relief, calmed down, and turned around.
He saw Ji Fengming standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.
Fan Wujiang instantly broke out in a cold sweat, but pretended that nothing had happened. He greeted, "Shizhi, it is you again. When did you come?"
Ji Fengming also smiled slightly. "Uncle-Master, what about you? When did you betray Wanxiang Heavenly Palace? "
Fan Wujiang's face was blank. He said, "Shizhi Ji, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? "
"Uncle-Master, when you released the paper crane, did you not check the talisman paper? The talisman paper that you used is mine! " As Ji Fengming said this, she stretched out a finger. Under the night sky, a paper crane flapped its wings and flew over. Like a bird, it landed on her finger.
It was the paper crane that Fan Wujiang had released earlier.
