Shen Chengan was startled and said, "Senior Martial Brother Kuang is dead?" He laughed and said, "How is that possible?"
Liao Ling also didn't believe it and said with certainty, "That's right, the person we met was Senior Martial Brother Kuang himself."
Shen Chengan said, "Senior Martial Brother Kuang has too many ideas and is always vigilant of the outside world, so he always feels like someone wants to harm him. I think he faked his death to escape."
However, Xu Chengtong said, "This matter isn't simple. I think it's just as you two said, he faked his death to escape, so he naturally has his own motives. Also, the records aren't wrong, he's really dead."
Shen Chengan laughed and said, "Ha, if he's really dead, then who forced us to wait?"
However, when he said this, he saw that Xu Chengtong, Daoist Wan Ming, and the others all had serious expressions and didn't look like they were joking. His voice unconsciously became softer and softer, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
Xu Chengtong looked at Liao Ling and said, "Fellow Daoist Liao, you said that Kuang Jing put a lot of talismans on the statues. Let them out and let us take a look."
Liao Ling agreed and said embarrassedly, "Everyone, can you step back a little?"
The cultivators present looked at each other and stepped back.
Liao Ling looked around and saw that the ground below was flat. Then, he took out a small earthen jar like magic tool and poured it out. Along with a burst of smoke, statues appeared in the field one after another.
When the cultivators saw this, they couldn't help but nod and some even exclaim in admiration.
Not to mention anything else about these statues, just the craftsmanship alone was enough to make them seem like living creatures. It could be seen that the sculptor had put in a lot of thought and emotion into these statues. It was no wonder that Liao Ling cherished these statues so much.
At this moment, a cultivator took a few glances and asked, "Fellow Daoist Liao, where are the talismans?"
Everyone stopped admiring the statues and looked inside and outside, but they found that there were no talismans on them.
Liao Ling was also dumbfounded and said, "This … When I came out, there were talismans on them." If it weren't for the talisman restraining him, he wouldn't have had to painstakingly cultivate there. He would have escaped with the statue a long time ago, and wouldn't have waited until now to find an opportunity to come out.
Shen Chengan confirmed from the side, "Yes, I saw it too. When it came out, there were talismans on it."
A faint golden shadow appeared behind Daoist Wan Ming. Many golden eyes looked at him from within. After a while, he said, "There are no talismans on it. I haven't even seen any traces of talismans in the past."
Liao Ling seemed to have thought of something and his face turned slightly pale.
Xu Chengtong didn't say anything about this. Instead, he raised his head and said, "The two of you, regardless of whether you have that talisman or not, and regardless of whether Kuai Jing is alive or dead, since the two of you have escaped, there is no need to delve into this matter for the time being."
He looked at Shen Chengan, "Fellow Daoist Shen, this time I came to find you on Shouzheng's orders. My fellow Daoists from the continent above the Nether Plains also came along. Will you return with me, or will you stay here first?"
Shen Chengan knew he really had to go back this time. Originally, he wanted to use the excuse of being frightened to stay in the spirit pass for a few more days. He coughed and said, "I'll go back with you, Dao friend."
He turned and said, "Junior Brother Liao, what do you plan to do?"
Liao Ling stabilized his mind and said, "Senior Brother, I will stay here first. When this matter is over, I want to find a position in one of the local continents."
Shen Chengan was a little surprised and said, "That's good too. You aren't from Xuanfu and don't have connections with many of your fellow Daoists. It's easy to transfer to a continent. "He paused and said," Why don't you come to the Nether Plains? I'm familiar with that place, and we can take care of each other. "
Liao Ling nodded and bowed to him, saying, "Senior Brother, take care."
Shen Chengan also returned the greeting, saying, "Junior Brother, take care."
After the two said goodbye, Xu Chengtong also said goodbye to Daoist Wan Ming. He took Shen Chengan to the flying boat and flew back together.
The flying boat flew quickly. After half a day, it crossed the Wei Mountain Range and came to the vicinity of the palace. But at this time, they found that Daoist Wang and the others who should have been waiting for them here were nowhere to be seen. It seemed that they had left in advance. There were no traces of fighting in the surroundings, and it didn't seem like they had encountered enemies.
Xu Chengtong glanced and said to the disciple beside him, "Ask where Daoist Wang and the others are."
The disciple asked and said with a strange expression, "Teacher, Daoist Wang said that they are in the Xuanfu of the Nether Plains. Also, they asked … who are we?"
Xu Chengtong couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He looked back and forth around, and then his gaze paused. He saw that on the ground in the distance, there was a lump of charred black dust.
At his level, as long as he paid attention, the changes in the surrounding grass and trees could be engraved in his heart. But he remembered that before he left, there was definitely no such lump of black dust here.
He sneered and said, "It doesn't matter whether they recognize us or not. The document is still here. Since we have found them, we will send Daoist Shen back first."
The disciples all agreed.
The Desolate Land here was not far from the Upper Continent of the Nether Plains. After half a day, they entered the continent. After showing their seals, the group of people went to the Yan Tai where the Xuanfu of the Nether Plains was located.
When they arrived in the Xuanfu, they met Daoist Wang very smoothly. But as the rumors said, the other party didn't recognize them at all, and didn't seem to remember that they had been here.
What surprised Xu Chengtong and the other disciples was that not only Daoist Wang, but also the other Daoists in the Xuanfu who had seen them before, didn't recognize them either.
Xu Chengtong didn't bat an eyelid and didn't say too much. He just told them that they had found the person, and after handing over the document, he walked out.
Shen Cheng 'an took the opportunity to send them off and asked with some apprehension, "Daoist Xu, this matter …"
Xu Chengtong said, "Daoist Xu doesn't need to ask too much. The Upper Continent of the Nether Plains is also guarded by the Xuan Zun. You don't have to worry about anything happening here. If the Xuan Zun can't stop them, then your worries are useless."
Shen Cheng 'an thought about it and said, "I have troubled Daoist Xu this time."
Xu Chengtong also bowed and said seriously, "This is Shouzheng's care. If Daoist Xu wants to thank someone, you should thank Shouzheng." He then said, "Daoist Shen, please stay. We will return now."
Shen Cheng 'an said yes and bowed again. He stood where he was and watched them leave.
Xu Chengtong left the Xuanfu with his disciples and returned to the flying boat. A disciple asked, "Teacher, are we just going to leave like this?"
Xu Chengtong stood still and glanced at him, saying, "Shouzheng wanted us to find the person, and we have already found him. What else do you want?"
That disciple looked a little conflicted, "But …"
Xu Chengtong snorted and reprimanded, "It seems that you didn't take my words to heart. I have already told you that you have to do things, but you also have to know your own weight. There are some things that you don't need to ask too clearly. For example, the Xuan Head of the Upper Continent of the Nether Plains didn't ask too much from the beginning."
That disciple was shocked, saying, "Teacher, you mean …"
Xu Chengtong said, "As the Xuan Head, how could he not know that the cultivators under his rule suddenly lost a part of their memory? Since he didn't even ask, then why should we be nosy? " He said to another disciple, "I will listen. I will narrate it here. You quickly report this matter to Shouzheng."
That disciple hurriedly acknowledged.
Zhang Yu had been cultivating in the Shouzheng Palace. He quickly received the report from Xu Chengtong's disciple, Xuntian Dao Zhang. However, when he saw the suspicious charred pieces mentioned, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "I understand. Tell the Xu Duty Division that they did well this time. You can stop here. There's no need to pursue further."
After giving his instructions, he pondered for a moment and stood up from his seat. With a thought, he arrived at the Dao field he had opened. Then, he took a step forward and walked out of the Dao field, entering the chaotic land.
He looked around and said, "Is Fellow Daoist Huo here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have sensed something. He saw Huo Heng standing there with his sleeves behind his back. His aura seemed to have merged with the chaotic aura. He said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, why are you looking for me?"
Zhang Yu said, "I'm looking for a fellow disciple. His name is Kuai Jing. I wonder if you've seen him before?"
Xu Chengtong had an impression of the charred black thing that he saw. Every time Huo Heng appeared, he would leave such a thing at the place where he stood. Therefore, he believed that this matter was related to someone else.
Huo Heng admitted, "Fellow Daoist Kuai? That's right. Now that he has joined the Dao of Chaos, he can be considered a comrade of mine. So this person was once Fellow Daoist Zhang's fellow disciple? " He smiled. "It's just that Fellow Daoist Kuai still has some worldly obsessions that have yet to be eliminated and will remain in this world. Fellow Daoist, you don't have to be surprised if you see him."
Zhang Yu had only found Huo Heng to ask for an answer. Huo Heng would never force others. He would only accept those who entered his eyes. From the looks of it, this should be Kuai Jing's own choice.
Judging from Kuai Jing's past actions, he was vigilant of everything. Therefore, it was very likely that he had joined the Great Chaos. This was because switching to the Dao of Chaos was equivalent to removing himself from the world. Most things in the world could not threaten him.
However, from what Huo Heng said, it seemed that the matter had not ended yet. Kuai Jing's obsession might go and find someone else. He would deal with this matter when he returned.
At this moment, Huo Heng said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I see that the relationship between Shangchen and Tianxia has been tense recently. It seems that they won't be able to hold back soon."
Zhang Yu said calmly, "Why? Does Fellow Daoist Huo want to interfere? "
Huo Heng smiled and said, "I'm not interested in the battle between the two families." He looked at Zhang Yu and said seriously, "However, Fellow Daoist Zhang, if you encounter any difficulties that you can't escape, my promise will still stand."
Zhang Yu also looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist Huo, I have a question. Are those cultivators who entered the Dao of Chaos and washed away their worldly obsessions still themselves?" He raised his head slightly and stared at him. "Or have they become one with Fellow Daoist Huo?"
