"It seems your sect's people in Eastern Zhou are quite capable?" Chen Luoyang asked.
Ye Canmian bowed. "I do not deserve Hierarch Chen's praise. Our temple and the other party are only working together for mutual benefit. However, after working together many times, our credibility is guaranteed."
Chen Luoyang nodded slightly and changed the subject. "Then, what about Eastern Zhou within your sect?"
Ye Canmian knew that Chen Luoyang was asking how Eastern Zhou knew that the head of Temple Master Green Bull wasn't in the secular world.
"I've let Hierarch Chen see a joke. A big tree will inevitably have withered branches. Our temple has produced some unworthy disciples over the years," the young Taoist said Slowly. "But this time, there are very few people who knew that my master wasn't in the secular world. Our temple has investigated thoroughly, and the news shouldn't have come from within."
Chen Luoyang's expression didn't change when he heard this. He said calmly, "I trust the conduct of Green Bull Temple. You just have to be careful."
Ye Canmian nodded silently.
"What's the situation with Fang Jing Mountain?" Chen Luoyang turned to ask Su Wei.
Ye Canmian perked up when he heard this.
Fang Jing Mountain was a spiritual mountain in the territory governed by the Ancient God. It was located at the border between the Ancient God and the Southern Chu Dynasty.
Since Chen Luoyang was asking his Basaltic Temple First Seat, it meant that he was willing to agree to Green Bull Temple's request to stay.
Su Wei immediately replied, "If the Hierarch has any orders, it can be arranged at any time."
"Then Fang Jing Mountain it is," Chen Luoyang said.
"Yes, Hierarch. I'll arrange it immediately," Su Wei replied.
Ye Canmian bowed to Chen Luoyang again. "Green Bull Temple thanks Hierarch Chen."
He then cupped his hands to Su Wei. "Thank you, First Seat Su."
"You're too kind, Daoist Ye. Please follow me," Su Wei returned the greeting, then bowed to Chen Luoyang with Ye Canmian and excused themselves.
Chen Luoyang nodded indifferently and watched their figures disappear.
He sat alone in the hall with dark golden light flickering in his eyes as he fell into deep thought.
…
Su Wei moved quickly. Under the arrangements and cooperation of the Basaltic Temple, the Blue Ox Monastery quickly settled down on Fang Jing Mountain.
"Thank you, Chief Su."
Black Bull Monastery's elder, 'Hidden God Hand' Li Qingyuan, bowed to Su Wei, whose cultivation and strength were far inferior to his.
Su Wei politely returned the greeting. "Senior, you're too kind. If you need anything, just tell me."
"Thank you." Li Qingyuan, Ye Canmian, and the other Green Bull Monastery experts politely sent Su Wei off.
Once the Ancient God's people left, the smiles on the Blue Ox Monastery people's faces disappeared.
A middle-aged Taoist nun said, "The Ancient God's people are watching the outskirts of Fang Jing Mountain. They seem to belong to the Blue Dragon Hall."
"That's to be expected. After all, this Fang Jing Mountain is the Ancient God's territory. We're guests here, so it's natural for them to be wary," Li Qingyuan said. "Aren't we also guarding against them?"
The middle-aged nun nodded silently, then looked at Ye Canmian. "Martial Niece Ye, you've met Chen Luoyang. What do you think?"
"Martial Uncle Xi, Chen Luoyang has always been a calm person. He doesn't show his emotions on his face, and I can't see through his true thoughts. I can only say that based on my observations, it doesn't seem like he's the one who leaked master's information to Eastern Zhou," Ye Canmian replied.
The nun in front of him was a Taoist expert of the same generation as Yu Qingniu and Li Qingyuan. Like Li Qingyuan, she was an Elder of the eighteenth realm, "Golden Bridge of Connecting Mysteries", Xi Qinghong.
"That's strange …" Elder Xi frowned and muttered. "Logically speaking, he has no reason to do so. But if it's not him, who could it be?"
All the Green Bull Monastery experts present fell silent.
Because the monastery head, Yu Qingniu, was not in the mortal world, Chen Luoyang had a handle on them.
Logically speaking, Chen Luoyang should have kept it in his hands.
But other than Chen Luoyang, only the Green Bull Monastery people in the mortal world knew the truth about the monastery head's absence.
Moreover, it was only among the few of them.
For a time, everyone faced each other, feeling slightly awkward.
Ye Canmian finally broke the silence. "On the other side, other than the 'Demon Emperor' Chen Luoyang, there is also the 'Mad Emperor' Bie Donglai. Before this, he fought with the Palace Master of the Demon Palace and Mister Tianji. This proves that he is not completely unable to leave the Sovereign's Grotto-Heaven. He is also in the know. Perhaps he leaked the news."
Li Qingyuan shook his head slightly. "It is possible. Although Bie Donglai does not have much of a relationship with East Zhou and Milky Way, his actions are always unexpected. We cannot completely deny this possibility.
But if Bie Donglai really is in contact with Eastern Zhou and Milky Way, based on how big of a ruckus he has caused in the past, we should have heard of it.
Also, if Bie Donglai really did leak the news, then Chen Luoyang most likely knows. Martial Nephew Ye, when you went to see Chen Luoyang this time, he should have said something. "
"Could it be … the Qingwei Realm?" Xi Qinghong said hesitantly.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Monastery Master Yu Qingniu had left the mortal world and returned to the Qingwei Realm. Naturally, there were people in the Qingwei Realm who knew.
The Qingwei Realm was ruled by the Daoist Lord, but the Daoist Lord's subordinates were not completely united.
Perhaps someone in the Qingwei Realm who did not get along with Yu Qingniu leaked the news to the East Zhou Dynasty in the mortal world?
Although the possibility was small, it was not completely impossible.
But if that was the case, it would still be a headache for the Green Bull Monastery.
But no matter what, it was better than having an East Zhou spy among the core members of the monastery.
"That Daoist Banhai of unknown origin, could he have something to do with this?"
An old Daoist at the side stroked his long beard. "Although we did not leak the monastery master's whereabouts to him, his origin is still unknown. Perhaps he is acting on orders from someone in the Qingwei Realm. This time, he also received the news from the Qingwei Realm and used it as a relay to send a message to East Zhou."
"It's not impossible. His whereabouts are always uncertain, and our temple can't figure out his background and whereabouts." Xi Qinghong turned to look at Li Qingyuan. "Senior Brother Li, can you contact him now?"
Li Qingyuan said lightly, "I will try in a moment."
"Thank you, Uncle-Master Li," Ye Canmian said. "Let us first gain a foothold in Fang Jing Mountain and find out what is going on."
"Will Chen Luoyang make a move?" Xi Qinghong asked.
"Yes, he will definitely make a move. But when and how he will make a move, I cannot see." Ye Canmian shook his head. "Honored Master once said that Chen Luoyang is an ambitious and arrogant person. He is also the successor of the Supreme Martial Artist and definitely has the intention to suppress the mortal world. But at the same time, he is very calm and has a plan."
He let out a long breath. "I have seen Chen Luoyang a few times and feel that he is more and more unfathomable. Honored Master was right.
And if Chen Luoyang wants to replace the Supreme Martial Artist and control the mortal world, there are two hurdles that he must overcome. One is the Sky Demon, and the other is Xu Ruotong, the direct descendant of the Human Emperor. "
"Then let's wait and see." Xi Qinghong turned to look at Li Qingyuan. "Other than that, we need to find out the truth behind the leak. I will have to trouble Senior Apprentice Brother Li to find that Priest Banhai."
Li Qingyuan did not say anything.
After the gathering, he returned to his residence and summoned his personal disciple, Qin Yumian.
"There was news from that Daoist Banhai?"
Li Qingyuan looked at his disciple and asked.
Qin Yumian replied respectfully, "Yes, Honored Master. Priest Banhai sent a letter saying that he wants to meet with you."
As she replied, she handed over a talisman. It was left by Priest Banhai.
Li Qingyuan took the talisman and thought for a moment before writing a line of words in the air. The words turned into a stream of light and landed on the talisman.
He got up and left Fang Jing Mountain, heading out to meet with Taoist Banhai.
After seeing him, Li Qingyuan's expression did not change. "Priest Banhai, nice to meet you."
The slovenly Priest in front of him smiled. "It is our first meeting. Priest Li, nice to meet you."
Both of them knew that it was not their first meeting.
When Chen Luoyang first came into contact with Green Ox Temple using Priest Banhai's clone, Li Qingyuan had been observing from the side.
However, neither of them pointed it out. It was as if they were meeting for the first time.
"Priest Banhai, you have always traveled the world freely. Why do you have the time to meet me?" Li Qingyuan did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
Priest Banhai sighed. "I have been hanging around Green Ox Temple and have not contributed anything. It is inevitable that I feel uneasy. Thus, I have been paying attention and prepared a gift for you and Green Ox Temple. I did not expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Now, I am afraid that this gift will not be of use."
"Oh? Priest Banhai, thank you. You have been hanging around our temple, but we have no intention of asking for anything in return. " Li Qingyuan asked, "However, your words have piqued my curiosity. What gift is it that is so complicated?"
Priest Banhai waved his sleeve.
Surrounded by a clump of purple qi, a human figure appeared and floated in the air.
Li Qingyuan looked over and saw a young man with his eyes closed as if he was in a deep sleep.
"… Wang Di?" Daoist Li raised his brows.
Green Ox Temple and the Heavenly River were on the Righteous Path. In theory, there was no enmity between them. Everyone minded their own business and sometimes stood on the same side.
However, the Heavenly River Sword Immortal had been taking care of the East Zhou Dynasty in recent years. To a certain extent, it affected the expansion of Green Ox Temple's influence in East Zhou.
In the hundred years before the rise of the Empress, there had been no Martial Venerable in East Zhou. It was a great opportunity for Green Ox Temple. However, because of the Sword Immortal and the Heavenly River, they could only plan for it Slowly, wasting a lot of time.
Therefore, there was more or less a gap between the Heavenly River and Green Ox Temple.
Green Ox Temple had been paying attention to the changes in the Heavenly River.
Li Qingyuan naturally knew about the betrayal of the Heavenly River.
However, he was not very clear about the enmity between Wang Di and Shen Tianzhao.
After Priest Banhai said a few words, Li Qingyuan came to a realization.
It was undoubtedly a favor for Green Ox Temple to give this Wang Di to the Heavenly River. If it was done properly, it would be very useful.
However, there was no need to say more now.
Green Ox Temple had already been chased out of the country by East Zhou. At this point, it was impossible for the Heavenly River to help plead for Green Ox Temple to return to East Zhou.
If they wanted to go back, they could only fight back.
"Indeed, I have no use for it. However, it should still be of use to you, my friend?" Li Qingyuan looked at Priest Banhai in front of him.
