Chapter 922: Finding the Cause

Shen Zhongshi said helplessly, "Go to Wanyuan Tower and work as a porter to carry things? Okay, I'll go, I'll go. But, Miss Four, there's something I don't understand?"

"Speak!"

"Miss Four, aren't you trying to get my master..."

Miss Four Ning shouted, "What did you say?"

Shen Zhongshi slapped himself hard, "I mean, Miss Four, aren't you trying to poach my master? But if you help him like this, my master will become more and more powerful in Taiji Sect, and his status will become higher and higher. How can you poach him in the future?"

Miss Four Ning glanced at him, "Do you know Taiji Sect well?"

"No." Shen Zhongshi shook his head.

"Then why are you talking so much!" Miss Ning smiled slightly, "Why don't you report to Wanyuan Tower!"

Shen Zhongshi sighed, "You smile like an old fox. Why do I feel that my master is like a little lamb? Sooner or later, I will be swallowed by you."

"Your master is like a lamb?" Miss Ning laughed, "If you tell Shi Feng this, he will laugh his teeth off!"

.......

As Shen Zhongshi said, the explosion of the Demon Spirit Heavenly Cauldron Formation shook the entire Yan State.

The Taiji Sect was stunned at first, and after repeated inquiries, it was confirmed that it was true. The whole sect was crazy for a while. Even Xuanyi, a solemn and dignified person, ordered the sect to set off firecrackers for two consecutive days to celebrate.

As for the Demon Puppet Sect, Mo Laoguai, who was in seclusion, heard about this and was so angry that he almost went crazy. He quickly came out of seclusion and came to Liuji Town in person.

The once solemn and majestic formation had turned into a ruin, with a large pit more than ten feet deep in the middle. As for the Heavenly Demon Cauldron, it had been blown up so badly that not even a palm-sized copper piece could be found.

Old Monster Mo was furious. If it weren't for the people kneeling and begging, he would have almost killed Feng Er with one palm.

He ordered on the spot that all the cultivators who guarded the Spirit Demon Heavenly Cauldron Formation and above the foundation building stage were locked up and questioned. The leaders of each formation knelt in the square of the Golem Mountain and were whipped fifty times.

At the same time, Shi Feng's name gradually spread. All the sects in Yan State knew that Taiji Sect had a Jindan master who had learned extremely advanced weapon refining techniques from nowhere and refined a very powerful firearm and destroyed the Heavenly Demon Cauldron.

......

The whole Taiji Sect was in a sea of ​​joy, and everyone was beaming with joy. However, when Feng Yuanshan and other disciples came to congratulate them, they found that the Hongsongling Cave Mansion was closed, and a sign saying "Retreat and Do Not Disturb" was hung at the door.

Shi Feng in the room, holding a jade slip in his hand, not only did not look happy, but frowned.

After returning from the Monkey King Forest, Shi Feng accompanied Qin Bing back to Lengshui Cliff. He asked again and again, but Qin Bing just smiled and said it was okay and asked him to go back and rest.

Shi Feng was not at ease, so he changed his mind and went directly to see Jingxu Zhenren, the head of Huiyan Peak.

Jingxu Zhenren was quite knowledgeable in medicine. She was also in charge of elixirs, treatment and other matters in the Elders' Council. When she heard that Qin Bing was injured, she rushed to Lengshui Cliff in a hurry.

Qin Bing was helpless when Shi Feng invited his master over.

Jingxu Zhenren checked Qin Bing's body and frowned, "What's the matter? Your vitality is so depleted?"

Shi Feng did not dare to hide it and told the battle of the underground palace of the Spirit Demon Tianding Formation in detail.

After hearing this, Master Jingxu was furious, "You are so greedy for merit that you don't care about Bing'er's life?"

Shi Feng bowed his head and said, "Master uncle blames me, it's all my fault!"

"And you, don't you want to die?" Master Jingxu turned around and scolded Qin Bing again, "I have repeatedly said that the Qixuan Ice Sword Qi you practiced is a very profound magical power. Only two predecessors and sages in the past generations can practice to the seventh level, and many geniuses have failed halfway.

But you always ignore it. This magical power is most afraid of shaking the foundation. Now your Yuangen is damaged, your true qi is going astray, and it is very likely that your life will be in danger."

Qin Bing lowered his head and dared not speak.

Shi Feng whispered, "What should I do? Can I make up for it?"

Master Jingxu flicked his sleeves, "What can you make up for! Just don't come to make trouble!"

This was a direct order to expel him, so Shi Feng had to retreat embarrassedly.

Before leaving, he caught a glimpse of Qin Bing smiling at him and sticking out his tongue.

After Shi Feng left, Jingxu Zhenren still stayed at Lengshui Cliff to help his disciples heal.

In the entire Taiji Sect, she and Qin Bing were the only ones who practiced the Seven Mysterious Ice Sword Qi, and Jingxu Zhenren was the only one who could help Qin Bing strengthen his essence.

Back at Hongsong Ridge, Shi Feng paced back and forth in the cave, unable to enter a state of concentration.

According to Jingxu Zhenren, Qin Bing's vitality was injured, so that his true energy was deviated.

But when Qin Bing fainted, his true energy was boiling, and there was also a sense of evil, which was completely different from the decline of his magic power and the great loss of his vitality.

After thinking about it, Shi Feng felt that this matter might not be as Jingxu Taoist thought.

When thinking about the inexplicable invasion of the inner demon when Qin Bing formed the elixir, perhaps Master Hu was right! The cause of Bing'er's illness was really from Guilan.

So, Shi Feng immediately sent a message to Feng Qitong, asking her to help investigate the details of Guiyi Sect and Guilan.

The Guiyi Sect and Jiufu Sect are both in Lingshou. Both are descendants of the Jinque Sect. They have fought for thousands of years and should know each other well.

Four days later, Shi Feng received a reply from Feng Qitong. After reading it, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

"How is it?"

"It's just as you guessed, Master Hu."

Shi Feng handed the jade slip to Baihu. The jade slip recorded quite detailed information.

In the ancient Zhongshan country, Changsheng Sect, Jiufu Sect, Vajra Sect, and Guiyi Sect are all descendants of the Jinque Sect, four sects from one mother. However, Changsheng Sect and other three sects strongly rejected Guiyi Sect.

Shi Feng stayed in Jiufu Sect for several years. He heard the disciples around him talking about Guiyi Sect being just servants of Jinque Sect guarding the gate. How could a servant claim to be the successor after the master died?

However, today, when he saw Feng Qitong's jade slip, he realized that things were not that simple.

The jade slip recorded that one day thousands of years ago, a black-clothed monk suddenly came to Jinque Sect and was willing to join the service.

This person wore a mask and had a hoarse voice. He claimed to be surnamed Bai and was a monk from Ghost City.

Ghost City is located in the extreme north of Qinzhong Continent. Its city is located under Binglan Valley. It is snowy and cold all year round. It is one of the seven forbidden areas in Qinzhong.

At that time, the leader Huo of Jinque Sect valued talents and accepted this person into the sect.

This monk surnamed Bai was taciturn, but his magical powers were extremely strong. He was good at tracking and ambushing. He never failed to do what the leader Huo asked him to do.

So gradually, the monk surnamed Bai gained the trust of the leader Huo, was promoted to elder, and led a group of guards.

It was this elder Bai who passed on the Ghost Clothes Technique to his subordinates, which greatly increased the strength of the guards of the Jinque Sect at that time, making them no weaker than the three major branches.

After that, there was the earth-shaking change. The Yin beasts on the seventh floor of the underground palace surged up like a tide, submerging the once prosperous Jinque Sect.

Two days later, the nine major sects of Qinzhong Continent heard the news and rushed to the underground palace together with the surviving monks of the Jinque Sect.

At this time, the beast tide had receded, and people went deep into the underground palace and found a wounded person in an unnamed cave on the sixth floor.

From his clothes, it can be identified that this person is the leader of the guard team, Elder Bai.

However, Elder Bai always wears a copper mask, and even the sect master does not know his true face.

At this moment, his mask was broken, revealing his true face, which is a handsome middle-aged Confucian scholar.

"Elder Murong, why are you here?"

Among the masters who came down to rescue, there were monks from the Tianshan Sword Sect. They found that the person in front of them was the second elder of the Tianshan Sword Sect, Murong Bai.

This confused everyone present at the time. The people of Jinque Sect insisted that this person was Elder Bai of their sect, while the Tianshan Sword Sect was sure that he was Elder Murong Bai.

Both sides said that they were absolutely not mistaken. As for Elder Bai himself, he was already dying. Before he died, he kept saying three words, "Ebony tablet... Ebony tablet... Ebony tablet..."
