Li Qingyuan was still suspicious of Taoist Banhai's background. He suspected that the other party's background was in the Qingwei Realm and that he had obtained information from there and leaked it to Eastern Zhou.
Taoist Banhai acted as if nothing had happened. "That depends on your sect. Few people in the outside world know that I'm with your sect. I can try to talk to Tianhe or Eastern Zhou.
However, given the current situation, it would be difficult for your sect to return to Eastern Zhou without fighting.
Perhaps it would be possible if a Supreme spoke, but a Supreme probably wouldn't care about such a thing. "
Li Qingyuan acted as if nothing had happened. He nodded. "You're right, fellow Taoist."
His heart skipped a beat.
The ruler of the Red Dust, 'Demon Lord' Tang Tianhai, was often called the Demon Lord by the people of the other realms.
The people of the Red Dust respectfully called him 'Supreme'.
Of course, it could be that the slovenly Taoist wanted to hide his background. However, the conversation between them seemed to be purposely clarifying and hinting that he could come into contact with a Supreme …
Was he deliberately mystifying things, or did he really mean something else?
"Our sect has settled down at Square Jing Mountain. If you have the time, why don't you come and visit us? Let's come up with a plan together," Li Qingyuan said.
Taoist Banhai smiled. "Then, sorry to bother you."
The other party's fearlessness made Li Qingyuan frown.
He said calmly, "Fellow Taoist, please."
The two of them went to Square Jing Mountain together. When they arrived, the other people of Green Bull Monastery were shocked.
No one had expected that the mysterious slovenly Taoist, who had always been elusive, would actually come knocking on their door today.
Getting Li Qingyuan and Qin Yumian to contact the other party was just a test. In the end, the other party actually strode right up to their doorstep.
Such an action at a time when Green Bull Monastery was in a bad situation made them feel that he had ill intentions …
Ye Canmian, Xi Qinghong, and the others looked at each other and went up to greet Taoist Banhai.
"I've long heard of your name. It's my honor to finally meet you today." When Ye Canmian greeted him, his expression was normal, but he was secretly circulating his energy.
The other elders of Green Bull Monastery also secretly circulated their energy and surrounded Ye Canmian, turning into an invisible force that enveloped Taoist Banhai.
They had long wanted to test the strength of this sloppy Daoist.
Priest Halfsea smiled faintly. He did not seem to react, but the aura of the Purple Dragon faintly emanated and collided with the other party.
Everyone trembled slightly.
The hearts of everyone from the Green Bull Monastery tightened.
Although both of them did not reveal their strength, it could be seen that the sloppy Taoist in front of them was also at the eighteenth level, the peak of the Martial Sage Realm.
Moreover, he was extremely powerful, surpassing many people.
To be as steady as a mountain in the face of the pressure of so many experts at the same time, whether it was Li Qingyuan, Xi Qinghong, the other Black Bull Monastery Elders, or Ye Canmian, none of them had the confidence to do this.
Li Qingyuan's eyes were gloomy.
When they first met, the other party was able to see through his disguise, which made him feel that his strength was extraordinary. However, according to his observations at that time, this person's strength was not amazing.
Now, it seemed that he had been mistaken.
This sloppy daoist priest's strength was probably enough to contend for the top ten Martial Saints of the Red Dust World.
Unless Ye Canmian broke through to the eighteenth stage, no one in the Green Bull Temple would be a match for him.
Everyone from the Green Bull Monastery had a playful look in their eyes.
It was no wonder that this sloppy daoist priest dared to act out of character and pay them a visit so openly.
The monastery head was not here, and the Green Bull Monastery had lost its foundation, so it was not easy to set up a protective formation.
With this Taoist Priest's skills, the Green Bull Monastery had no confidence in keeping him here with their current strength.
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The Taoist Sect's ten thousand years of foundation was naturally deep. Even after being swept by the East Zhou Empress, they were still not to be underestimated.
However, this sloppy daoist priest's background was a mystery, and his background was hard to fathom. Who knew if he had hidden powerful methods?
However, they did not lose their confidence. Although this sloppy daoist priest was strong, the Green Bull Monastery was not afraid of the top ten Martial Saints, as long as he was not at the level of the top three.
However, the Green Bull Monastery completely gave up on the idea of keeping him here to slowly interrogate him.
Perhaps the other party was pretending to reassure them, but based on his performance just now, this sloppy daoist priest did not seem to be from the Qingwei Realm.
If this daoist priest had not leaked the secret to East Zhou, how would East Zhou know that the monastery head was not in the Red Dust World?
The people of the Green Bull Monastery thought about it as they dealt with Taoist Priest Banhai.
"Is this how your sect treats its guests?" Taoist Priest Banhai was not angry and only smiled faintly.
Ye Canmian was the first to stop. "Now that we are in troubled times, and you are not a direct disciple of our sect, I am like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
As he spoke, he solemnly bowed and apologized to Taoist Priest Banhai.
As someone who had directly fought with Taoist Priest Banhai, he had a more intuitive feeling.
Although the other party had a Taoist background, he was indeed hiding something. Just as Li Qingyuan had said, there was a hint of the Dragon Emperor Sky Edge in him.
This sloppy daoist priest's background was still hard to see through.
"Although I am not a direct disciple of Taoism, I am in the sect now, so I should support it." Taoist Priest Banhai said, "The Green Bull Monastery is the leader of the Taoist sects in the Red Dust World. Since I am in your sect, I will naturally support your sect."
"I am ashamed to have gauged your noble heart with the heart of a petty person." Ye Canmian changed the way he addressed him. "With your cultivation and strength, you are the number one person in the Red Dust World."
"I am but a wild crane with nothing to do. I am not worthy of such praise, Fellow Taoist Ye." Taoist Priest Banhai smiled as if he had no intention of pursuing the matter. "Fellow Taoist Ye, you are not far from the eighteenth level. Congratulations."
"I am ashamed that my foundation is not stable. I have embarrassed myself in front of you." Ye Canmian apologized.
Li Qingyuan saw that the other party had no intention of turning against him, so he immediately stepped forward to smooth things over. "We have been rude. Please forgive us."
"It is my intention to learn from your sect's unique skills." Taoist Ban Hai smiled and said, "Let's not beat around the bush in front of an honest person. I came here today because I have something to ask. If I have been presumptuous, I would like to ask for your forgiveness."
He looked around at the crowd and asked, "Abbey Dean Yu, what is going on …"
"Abbey Dean is wandering outside. I am afraid he will not be able to return in a short period of time." Li Qingyuan sighed. "We have failed to protect our sect. We have let him down."
"That is good. As long as Abbey Dean returns, our sect's crisis will be resolved." Taoist Priest Banhai clapped his hands and smiled.
The people of Green Bull Monastery also smiled in their hearts.
However, they all smiled bitterly.
The day of their Abbey Dean's return was probably far away.
Both parties sat down. Taoist Priest Banhai looked at the people of Green Bull Monastery and hesitated to speak. "However, there is something that I do not know if I should say."
"Go ahead, Fellow Taoist." Li Qingyuan said.
"With the Abbey Dean's return, your sect can naturally compete with the East Zhou Dynasty." Slowly, Taoist Priest Banhai said, "However, according to my observation, the East Zhou Empress' strength is extraordinary and she is on the rise. Even with the Abbey Dean's return, our sect will be able to defend itself. However, it will not be easy for us to avenge the humiliation of our sect being destroyed or to advance further in East Zhou."
When the people of Green Bull Monastery heard this, their hearts sank.
However, they did not show it on their faces. "East Zhou is not a smooth road. There are also many enemies around. However, we do not associate with the Fiend Dao, so we cannot go the same way."
"You are right, everyone." Taoist Priest Banhai smiled. "Compared to external worries, the internal troubles of East Zhou are perhaps more worthy of our attention."
The people of Green Bull Monastery looked at each other.
Xi Qinghong shook her head. "If East Zhou is talking about internal troubles, it is nothing more than the Heavenly River and the Wei family. However, these two things are not enough to shake the foundation of East Zhou."
It seemed that the Heavenly River lineage advanced and retreated together with East Zhou.
Last year, the Heavenly River and the Blood River battled, and this year, the Heavenly River expedition to the Wilderness, East Zhou had continuously helped.
However, in fact, the main reason was the personal relationship between the East Zhou Empress and the Sky River Sword Immortal.
There were many conflicts between the descendants of the Sky River and the martial artists of East Zhou.
I think that you are mixed in good and bad, and you think that I am too meddlesome.
Even the East Zhou Empress herself sometimes did not like the Sky River lineage. This was basically an open matter in the East Zhou Dynasty.
However, she had always respected the Sword Immortal personally.
People often criticized that if the Sword Immortal was no longer around, the situation of the Sky River lineage in East Zhou might not be much better than the Green Bull Monastery.
However, in the past two years, the mortal world had been turbulent and there were countless changes. There were frequent ups and downs, so the cooperation between the Sky River and East Zhou was very close.
Now, although East Zhou had defeated the North Sea's Yan Ran Mountain and chased away the Green Bull Monastery, the Sword Immortal was seriously injured. Outside, there was still the Wilderness, Azure Dragon Island, and the unpredictable Sword Master North Sea. In the current situation, East Zhou and the Sky River would only be tighter, and it would be difficult for the outside world to shake them.
As for the Wei family, it was true that East Zhou had a hidden concern, but it was still too early for them to really set off a big storm in East Zhou.
However, there were some things that Xi Qinghong did not finish saying.
The Empress had risen too quickly. Although she had established her prestige, she was willful and did as she pleased. Therefore, there were people in East Zhou who were dissatisfied.
The information of the higher-ups of the Green Bull Monastery in East Zhou came from this aspect.
However, those people only dared to complain in secret, and it was also not enough to really shake East Zhou.
In other words, even if they could really shake East Zhou, they would think twice before acting. They had to have a choice to replace the Empress first.
Right now, whether it was them or the Green Bull Monastery, everyone could only bear with it.
"The matter between the Sky River and the Wei family is indeed not East Zhou's internal trouble." Taoist Half Sea smiled and said, "But some things are not so sure."
The people of the Green Bull Monastery looked at each other.
Ye Canmian cupped his hands. "Senior, do you have any advice?"
"I dare not say that. It's just a thought." Taoist Ban Hai said, "I'm sure everyone here has heard about the Dragon King of Azure Dragon Island?"
Ye Canmian, Li Qingyuan, and the others nodded. "I didn't expect him to be the God of the Underworld."
"The God of the Underworld is not tolerated by the Supreme Martial Artist. 'Dragon King' Xu Peng's identity has been exposed, and Azure Dragon Island is also hunting him down. Otherwise, it will be easy to give everyone an excuse to attack." Taoist Half Sea smiled. "What if East Zhou also has a God of the Underworld?"
