Chapter 796: One Side (I)
“Reporting to the Daoist Master... After the incident at Green Pine Temple, Yuanwu hastily perished. That villain could barely manage his own affairs and had no opportunity to trouble our family...”
Li Chengliao answered respectfully. Tu Longjian nodded slightly, resting one hand on the table as he spoke, “Yuanwu was rash and venomous. He certainly suffered before his death. Yuanwu Peak has always been a mess; his temperament was such that even his own people feared him.”
Li Chengliao noticed that Tu Longjian seemed surprisingly familiar with Yuanwu, and even with the Tang and Yu Families, causing his heart to stir slightly. But Tu Longjian had already sunk into deep thought, Back then, Guo Er, Yu Xiuxian, Zhang Lingshu, Cheng Mianfu, and Zhang Cuotian entered Mirage Mirror Heaven together. Disputes arose midway, causing most of them to perish, with only a few managing to escape...
Guo Er claimed Yuanwu forced him into hiding. Since he was gravely wounded and near death, he had no choice but to refine himself into the Six Ding Merging Fire Token. He had fallen into slumber and was carried out by Zhang Lingshu... But how exactly did Zhang Lingshu die...
He said that before he entered Chongming Hall, there was another cushion beside the steps outside the hall, with a jade box atop it, that had been taken by Zhang Cuotian. Now it’s lost and missing.
And where did the jade stone Zhang Lingshu took end up? When Cheng Mianfu died, who took his spirit sword...
Though Tu Longjian treated his friends with great kindness, he was not without vigilance. His mind flashed with sharp thoughts, though on the surface he merely sipped his tea. His gaze paused briefly on the white ape, and his train of thought abruptly cut off.
“This one is...” Tu Longjian’s pupils turned slightly red as he activated his Purple Mansion Realm divine ability. Memories surged to the surface, and he suddenly stood up, asking, “Have you once come to this mountain?”
The white ape neither humbled himself nor showed arrogance. He bowed and said, “This old ape had the fortune to pound medicine here for over a decade, and has indeed seen the Daoist Master before.”
