Chapter 683: 68. Into the Tiger’s Den

That was because the reclusive Miyamoto was a sect that the Wang family controlled.

However, this result was reasonable. The Dragon Slaying Temple would not reject these two people just because they were afraid of the Elusive Sect’s revenge.

As for their ‘life as Dao-companions,’ Xia Ji and Bai Zhu acted it very realistically.

They were usually respectful to each other, but they shared the same bed at night. They understood each other very well, as if they had lived together for many years.

After the Abbey Dean had received confirmation from many parties, he chose an auspicious day and accepted the two of them into the sect.

Of course, the seniority of these two people would not be determined according to the order. Instead, they would be directly accepted by the Abbey Dean as the fourth generation disciples of the Dragon Slaying Temple.

One had to know that the Dragon Slaying Temple could be ranked seventh or eighth generation in terms of seniority. The moment the two of them entered the sect, they were already the grandmasters to the youngest disciples.

Usually, the two of them wore masks on their faces, which looked like a green bird and a white fox respectively. The Abbey Dean even took off the masks for them.

However, Xia Ji and Bai Zhu did not refuse.

Xia Ji didn’t know how many incarnations Bai Zhu had, but after she took off her white fox mask, she had completely changed from a ” socialite ” to a ” seductive ” fairy, just like the courtesan who usually frequented brothels.

Xia Ji silently noted this down.

To him, changing his face was not too easy. His 72 transformations were called ” 72 ” because he had already reached the limit of his control over his body. As long as he took a breath, he could change into any appearance.

Therefore, Bai Zhu and the Abbey Dean saw a handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. Surprisingly, this handsome face and temperament matched Bai Zhu’s charming appearance very well. No one would believe that he was not a Daoist partner.

Anyway, the Abbey Dean believed him. He also understood why they were wearing masks.

It was too outstanding.

Tai Xiu.

Although most cultivators were handsome men and beautiful women, there were indeed very few who could be so charming and flirtatious.

The two of them were tired of being looked at by the secular world, so they wore these two masks.

It was only right for her to be in love.

Thus, the two of them put on their masks again and looked at each other deeply. It seemed that they were both old nesting dolls and had done this kind of thing many times. Their professionalism was obvious at a glance.

After joining the sect, the two of them were taught the Dragon Slaying Temple’s mystic technique, the Dragon Slaying Sword Scripture. It was considered a foundation. After the two of them made a certain contribution to the sect, they could be taught further divine powers.

The path of divine power was the foundation of a sect.

Good karma and bad karma depended entirely on the individual.

Xia Ji and Bai Zhu lived together for half a year.

Both of them knew what it meant to ” play along “. Naturally, it was impossible for them to develop any feelings for each other just because of half a year. Usually, they would eat together, cultivate together, and sleep together.

In the blink of an eye, it was winter.

It was freezing cold, and there was light snow outside the window.

On the platform at the foot of the Dragon Slaying Temple in the distance, the sound of disciples practicing their sword could be heard.

The cold wind whistled and seeped through the window, making a soft and heavy hissing sound. It made people’s hair stand on end, as if it was the time to seal the mountain in a ghost movie.

Xia Ji stood in front of the window when the door behind him suddenly opened.

The cold wind had just entered a little, but it was stopped by the door that was quickly closed.

Bai Zhu walked to his side. The two of them stood in front of the window and looked at the pure white scenery of the mountains.

” In this short half a year, Dragon Slayer Sect actually had disputes with the Golden Lotus Sect, Sword Rainbow Cult, and Breeze Pavilion. There were even casualties among the higher-ups. ”

The reason was untraceable. Other than the high frequency of occurrence, there was nothing special about it.

It could be said that if these casualties had happened within a hundred years, there would be almost no suspicion. However, they happened within half a year.

This was only the tip of the iceberg.

In addition, the Great Elder Mu Mulberry is still dead. He died in the hands of one of the seven Pavilion Masters of the Breeze Pavilion yesterday.”

Bai Zhu simply described this fact.

This was especially true when Mu Sangzi died. It was as if the Grim Reaper had come. Perhaps one could rely on luck to avoid death once, but they were destined to meet death again very soon.

“How did he die?” Xia Ji asked.

Bai Zhu said,”The subordinate forces of the Breeze Pavilion had a small conflict with the Dragon Slaying Temple. However, the conflict became more and more intense because of the choices of the parties. At this time, in order to prevent the conflict from completely escalated, the two sides carried out the usual method here

Yesterday, Mu Sangzi was sent by the Dragon Slaying Temple to fight, but he died in battle. That’s what happened.”

” The royal family of Qi Kingdom…”

Xia Ji had some impression of it.

Previously, among the nine Overgods of the Pantheon Court, there was one who had attacked with the aura of blood. That Overgod was the first to be killed by him, and he was the ancestor of the Qi Kingdom’s royal family.

In terms of geographical location, the territory of the Qi Kingdom’s royal family perfectly avoided the range of the Twelve Men of Gold Formation. It was like a scorpion lying in the northeast direction, but its back was close to the western sea.

Bai Zhu said, ” On the surface, there is no problem with the royal family of Qi Kingdom. However, the imperial power in this land is stronger. It is normal for the royal family to be a witness when the two sects fight. ”

” I’ve been reading books in the temple’s library during this period of time, ” Xia Ji said. ” I’ve even helped them to perfect some of the minor flaws in their cultivation techniques. I’ve done a great service and obtained more reading rights. ”

“Then, when I choose a cultivation technique, I will also mix in a few books like the sect’s annals. These sect annals are all public, but they can also be used to deduce the tip of the iceberg from various major events. If there really is a problem, I can use this as a breakthrough point.

Other than that, I sit in the library pavilion every day and observe all the disciples who enter the library to read.”

“And the result?” asked Bai Zhu.

” Those disciples are very normal, ” Xia Ji said. ” I’m almost certain that there’s nothing wrong with them. ”

Bai Zhu fell silent.

Xia Ji said, ” What a sect needs to do is actually to cultivate and gain experience. They need to control their resources. These resources mainly include the Fire Calamity’s ashes, the Small Mountain River Ruins, and the Karmic Dream Area…This was because they already had regions and could be controlled.

What they needed to explore was the Blacktide region. Only the Blacktide region would produce a book, because the number of pages in the book was far from enough for those who needed to break through to the 14th realm.

Since those disciples were normal, then the problem was very likely to be in the upper echelons of the sect, which was the thirteenth or fourteenth realm…

Since this problem is related to the Blacktide, it is very likely that something fishy will be revealed when we enter the Blacktide area to explore.”

” But, ” Bai Zhu added, ” only the most outstanding elites of a sect are qualified to receive the charms. This means that resources need to be spent on the tip of a knife. ”

Xia Ji glanced at her and suddenly asked, “”Do you want to do it or should I?”

“You do it. I’m not good at charging ahead,” Bai Zhu said.

” Alright. ” Xia Ji nodded. ” If it’s done, treat me to a meal. ”

Bai Zhu was speechless.

“What meal?”

“Next time you pass by the Human Restaurant, just treat me to a meal.”

Bai Zhu was speechless.

This was…What was the meaning of this?

Could it be that he was hiding some kind of zen?

“What kind of food?” Bai Zhu asked after thinking for a while.

” We’ll eat it together, ” Xia Ji said. ” We’ll just keep it within the standard of three taels of silver. ”

“Three taels of silver…”

Bai Zhu chuckled. She never brought silver, let alone three taels. However, she still agreed with a “okay”, just take it as the personal style of this strange tenth person.

Xia Ji nodded.

And then…

His heart moved with his thoughts.

The new scarlet words danced in his mind.

[Blacktide Mission 1-1: Become an elite of the sect who can receive the talisman.]
