Chapter 0526 Guests From Asan

Yashan Taoist priests have only come to him now. Mu Xingqiu feels that their reaction is too slow. Yashan should have discovered the truth that Amber Taoist priests were emptied a long time ago. They have not come to ask for it. They probably want to give Zhou Qianhui a chance to steal the bald man.

What puzzled him most was Zuo Liuying. This Taoist priest of the Forbidden Secret Department seemed to be a rebel of the Taoist tradition at one moment and the most determined defender of the Taoist tradition at another moment. Mu Xingqiu did not dare to make any judgment on him. He suddenly remembered Lan Binghu's reminder before his death:

"When he was eighteen, he almost became a demon. His parents lost their lives for this. This is his heart tribulation. He can be defeated by the mind illusion."

Mu Xingqiu had doubts about this "secret". When Zuo Liuying was eighteen, Lan Binghu had been expelled from Pangshan. She did not say how she found out about this. Maybe it was just a trick to trick him into taking risks.

Xin Youtao stepped forward, "We didn't say anything. I used the excuse that the Taoists were unstable because of the demon invasion and didn't let them enter the camp. They really didn't come in, but this is still quite troublesome."

There are too many secrets hidden in the camp, the soul of Meng Yuanhou, Zhou Qianhui's capture, the straw hat with the magic of the Demon Lord, Gan Zhiquan who came back from the dead, Gan Zhiwei who was possessed by the demon, and dozens of Taoists who were subjected to the method of breaking the bud. Everything seems extremely abnormal to ordinary Taoists.

"You did the right thing. You can't let them enter the camp. I'll go see them now-wait a moment."

Mu Xingqiu turned back to his tent, summoned the Frost Soul Sword and a nine-inch long jade axe, cast a spell, and said to the bald man: "Watch the jade axe, don't let anyone get close."

"Don't worry." The bald man immediately flew to the side of the jade axe, the magic eye on his head flashed red, revealing an expression as if facing a great enemy.

Mu Xingqiu had been waiting for the Taoist priest from Yashan to come, and he had already made preparations for this. He transferred the soul of Meng Yuanhou into the Jade Axe. Except for the Taoist priest Sun Yulu from Luanjingshan, no one would have thought that this disciple of the Mind Mind School had actually learned the real Lantern School magic.

Mu Xingqiu smiled at the bald man and walked out of the tent. Xin Youtao was still waiting outside. The other Taoist priests also walked out of the tent and looked at Mu Xingqiu from afar. There was hope and doubt in their eyes. Few people noticed that this group's fear of foreign Taoist priests even exceeded their vigilance against the demons.

Mu Xingqiu summoned the light ball bound by the copper seal and lightning net and handed it to Xin Youtao, "After a quarter of an hour, put away the copper seal and release the light ball."

Xin Youtao carefully held the two copper seals. Although he didn't know what they were, he didn't ask more questions, "A quarter of an hour, I remember it, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

There is another thing that Gan Zhiquan is more suitable to do, but he is in a special state now. Mu Xingqiu is unwilling to give him any orders, so he said to Xin Youtao: "After releasing the light ball, release Zhou Qianhui as well."

"What? Set him free? I told them that Zhou Qianhui is practicing in seclusion. Once he is released, we will..."

"This secret cannot be kept. Take a risk. Also, find more people to send Zhou Qianhui out of the camp."

Xin Youtao was stunned for a while, and slowly smiled, "It's really risky. Well, there is no other way."

After Mu Xingqiu finished his instructions, he walked out of the camp. He had seen a small tent three miles away, which should be the residence of Zuo Liuying and Taoist Yashan.

Xiao Qingtao ran over from the crowd, "There are five Yashan Taoist priests who are invaded by demons...something is wrong. They have been locked up. Gan Zhiquan is trying to persuade them."

Mu Xingqiu looked around and saw that almost all Taoist priests showed a trace of panic, as if a child who had done something wrong suddenly found his parents standing outside and would push the door open and catch him at any time.

The demon seed had been removed, but the cracks in the Taoist priests' hearts were becoming more and more obvious. The Taoist priests who were invaded by demons became more and more like ordinary mortals. The determination to die generously was gone, replaced by all kinds of suspicions.

"What's wrong with them?"

"They insisted on going to apologize to the Yashan Taoist priests, and said that they would rather accept any punishment, even if they were killed for it." Xiao Qingtao's face was pale because of the bud-breaking method, and now she looked even weaker.

"Where are they imprisoned?"

Xiao Qingtao pointed to the tent, and then asked anxiously: "Can we escape this time?"

"Escape?" Mu Xingqiu smiled and shook his head, raised his voice and said to all the demon-invading Taoist priests in the camp: "Don't care who the outsiders are. I want everyone to remember that you have made great contributions to the Taoist tradition. Even entering the land of monsters and hiding in this snowy mountain are for the sake of the Taoist tradition. This is a fact that no one can deny. Now, I'm going to meet the guests and see what rewards they bring to everyone."

Many people laughed. Although no one took Mu Xingqiu's words seriously, his calmness still infected everyone. A few people began to whisper whether Mu Xingqiu had been prepared.

Xiao Qingtao's face eased a lot. He nodded solemnly and ran back to the tent where the Yashan demon-invading Taoist priests were imprisoned.

Mu Xingqiu continued to walk forward and saw Xiaohao in the crowd. He waved to her and Xiaohao ran over happily. "Flea ran out to see Zuo Liuying yesterday. I couldn't stop it."

"They knew each other even earlier." Mu Xingqiu said.

Youliao's four legs struggled desperately, but he couldn't escape from the female Taoist's palm.

The demon-invading Taoist priests had placed many restrictions on the camp. When Mu Xingqiu walked out and looked back, he saw a piece of white snow, which was no different from the surroundings. Only certain designated instruments or more powerful spells could find the location of the camp, which would destroy the restrictions and arouse the vigilance of the camp. Mu Xingqiu, Zhou Qianhui and Zuo Liuying all had copper seals used to track the demon-invading Taoist priests, which was why they were able to return smoothly.

No spells were cast in the Yashan camp. There were a total of seventeen tents, which meant that there were seventeen Taoist priests in total - unless there were special circumstances, even Taoist priests who had formed a bond would not live in the same room, which would affect their personal practice.

Mu Xingqiu and Xiaohao walked slowly forward on the thick snow.

The first Taoist priest walked out of the tent. He was tall and handsome, with an elegant smile on his face, like a mask carved directly on his face. Yashan Taoist priest Shen Jiyi nodded slightly to Mu Xingqiu, stretched out his arm, and motioned the two to continue walking forward.

Mu Xingqiu nodded in return. Shen Jiyi, who was at the Smoke Swallowing Realm, was only responsible for guarding the gate, which meant that a big shot had come to Yashan.

The Taoist priests from Yashan came out of the tents one after another, standing on both sides, interlaced with each other. Regardless of their height, weight or thinness, they all seemed very polite, but no one spoke. They just used the same gesture of extending their hands to signal Mu Xingqiu and Xiaohao to keep going.

Finally, when they arrived in front of the two innermost tents, Mu Xingqiu felt like he had entered the mouth of a monster. The Taoist priests on both sides were sharp teeth that could bite him into pieces as soon as they closed.

The two Taoist priests walked out of their respective tents almost at the same time.

One was Zuo Liuying, who had no changes or expressions, as if he had just accidentally entered someone else's dream and everything had nothing to do with him. Flea followed out, indifferent to Xiaohao's winking and calling, and refused to leave Zuo Liuying even a step.

The other one was a tall and thin Taoist priest, who looked about 40 years old, with an upright figure and a slightly dark complexion, like a heavy iron statue that should have sunk deep into the snow in an instant, but he didn't even leave a footprint. This was a serious Taoist priest, and even the smile on his face seemed cold, as if he was warning the other party: I can laugh, but you'd better not laugh.

Mu Xingqiu stopped ten steps away and gave the two a formal Taoist ceremony, "Taoist Mu Xingqiu, pay homage to the Grandmaster of Yashan, pay homage to Taoist Zuo."

Xiaohao followed him to pay homage, but didn't speak.

The tall and thin Taoist priest was the Grandmaster of Yashan, Shen Cangqi, who was also a Taoist priest who focused on the spirit. Mu Xingqiu had seen him from a distance several times, but never spoke to him, not even made eye contact.

Zuo Liuying remained calm, but Shen Cangqi took a step forward, with a more obvious smile on his face, "Hello, Mu Xingqiu, it must be stressful to lead so many demon-invading Taoist priests."

"Thank you for your concern, Master. With the power of life and death given to me by the Taoist tradition, things are easy."

"I heard that you have already executed it once."

"Taoist Jiang Yinxia from Zhaoshan was unfortunately possessed by a demon."

"Alas, these people should have been the elites of the Taoist tradition, but they fell into this situation today because of the misjudgment of us Taoist priests. It is really regrettable. We owe everyone a formal apology."

"Everyone has no complaints, and still wants to slay demons and hope to do something more for the Taoist tradition."

Shen Cangqi slowly put away his smile, and was more serious and colder than the snow-capped mountains behind him, "Taoist He is a Taoist priest, the only reliable guardian of this world. Mu Xingqiu, you know that we are on this trip..."

Zuo Liuying, who had been silent, also stepped forward, and Xiaohao spoke for him: "Zuo Liuying said that you two should talk, there are some things that Mu Xingqiu can't understand."

"Of course." Shen Zangqi nodded politely, not surprised by Zuo Liuying's way of speaking. Although he was a master of Yashan, his realm was still a little worse than Zuo Liuying's. "But let me make one thing clear first. Mu Xingqiu, you are no longer a disciple of Pangshan, and neither is Zuo Liuying. Are you still willing to let him make all the decisions for you? "

Mu Xingqiu was startled, but no one told him that there would be such a thing, and Zuo Liuying didn't even give him a hint. After so many things, he has been more wary of Zuo Liuying than trusting him.

Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while. He had a hundred reasons to say "no", but what he said in the end was: "Well, I am willing to let Taoist Zuo decide everything for me, only today, only about me, Taoist Moqin and Yashan."

The master of Yashan would not reveal any thoughts in his heart, but Mu Xingqiu still felt vaguely that Shen Zangqi wanted to talk to him more, which made him make the final decision.

The difference in the strength of Taoists is not only reflected in the inner elixir and magic, but also in the state of mind and the Taoist rules and secrets they master. Mu Xingqiu clearly realized that no matter how well he prepared, he was in an extremely unequal position to negotiate with a Taoist in the state of infusion. In comparison, the risk of trusting Zuo Liuying was smaller.

Shen Zangqi took a step back, indicating that there was nothing to say.

Zuo Liuying took another step forward and stretched out his right hand. Xiaohao said: "Zuo Liuying asked you to give him the Frost Soul Sword."
