Chapter 228: Qiao Jiaxin
"Junior Martial Sister Liu Ling is still inside the restriction." The Taoist priest's words carried noticeable emotion. "I'm only worried that her Spiritual Soul has been in the Soul-Suppressing Sound Bell for too long and has damaged her mind. Sect Master, what exactly did the Two Saints think about this matter?"
The True Realm Taoist priest wanted to ask why, since the intention to kill Young Master Nine was to provoke a war, Liu Ling was chosen to do it. Any True Realm Taoist priest could have easily completed the mission, and the situation around the Wei River would never have turned into what it is now.
In Weicheng these days, the sound of weeping shook the heavens. Tens of thousands of people died in the city that day. Afterward, many more died in the fight with the Emperor of Ye in the Abandoned Palace. Almost every family in the city was affected, with relatives disappearing from the world.
The Taoist priests didn't care much about the life and death of one or two, or even a hundred or two thousand mortals, but no one liked staying in a perpetually mournful city.
Not to mention, Lingkongzi and Yue Yunzi had already been lost.
"Let's not mention it," Kun Wuzi had no intention of commenting on the rights and wrongs of the Two Saints. "A Saint has their foresight, which is beyond what you or I can fathom. Perhaps we won't understand in a year, two years, ten years, or a hundred years, but eventually, someone will see it. The world is a chessboard; we don't know who is a piece."
"However, regarding this matter, you must put your heart into it. That martial artist rescued the Qiao Family girl. Do we know the martial artist's background?"
"Just a martial artist from the jianghu. The details are not very clear, but he seems to have ties with that Li Yunxin demon. We made several plans and considered various scenarios, hoping that Qiao Jiaxin would be rescued by Li Yunxin's people. In the end, he stumbled in on his own," the Taoist priest said. "This is even better. It leaves no trace; no one will see through it."
"Then you go and handle this matter well," Kun Wuzi said. "You need to pass the Heart-Losing Tribulation, so go and trick open that Dongting restriction. We don't have much time. The True Dragon has disappeared and might be rushing toward Dongting. You only have one chance. If you fail, we will have to use these formations. That will be a great catastrophe, and I cannot bear to see it happen."
