Chapter 174 Whose Nest Did You Stir Up?
With so many people talking, in just one day, the news that Xie Jingxiu, the beloved disciple of the Xuanfeng Sect leader, was assassinated by his fiancée within the sect and was seriously injured and his life or death was in danger had spread to the market outside the Xuanfeng Sect.
Such a big event, a conflict between the two major forces in the world of immortal cultivation, with some romantic scandals in between, naturally made people talk about it with relish. For a time, the whole market was discussing this matter.
Everyone knew that Xie Jingxiu's original fiancé was Cheng Lingshu from the Cheng family, but later on, for some unknown reason, she was replaced by Cheng Mingshu, who was recognized by the Cheng family.
Some people outside have begun to speculate whether Xie Jingxiu's new fiancée is still upset about his previous engagement with her sister.
That's why, when their wedding was about to begin, she hurt him out of hatred.
People were coming and going in the market town, and word of this matter spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon it reached the outside world.
Even the monks in the Yaoyue Mountains, thousands of miles away, heard the news a month later.
Due to false rumors, the incident has been reported as Xie Jingxiu died on the spot and the Cheng family members were detained by the Xuanfeng Sect.
As the culprit, Cheng Shuyan was naturally executed on the spot by the leader of Xuanfeng Sect.
Qingzhi, who was training outside, became very anxious when he heard the news. He immediately dropped the task he was doing and rushed back to the Hidden World Sect.
When Qingzhi returned to the sect, he saw Master Wuwei taking care of a new spiritual medicine he had acquired beside the spiritual field.
Before the people arrive, the sound arrives first.
Wuwei Zhenren only heard Qingzhi's anxious voice: "Master! Something's happened to Master!"
He even suspected that he had heard it wrong. Didn't Qingzhi say that she was going out to gain experience and would not be back for a while?
He looked up in the direction of the sound and saw Qingzhi rushing towards him in a hurry.
He did hear Qingzhi's words clearly, but Cheng Shuyan was staying at the Cheng family, with Cheng Huaixu and his wife watching over him, so what big thing could happen?
I guess Qingzhi hasn't seen her master for a long time, so she believes everything she hears outside.
He lowered his head to continue checking the growth of the spiritual herbs, and casually asked Qingzhi, "Qingzhi girl, what's wrong? Why are you so anxious and angry? Who did your master mess with?"
Qingzhi did not completely believe the rumors from the outside world. At least one thing was absolutely false - that was that her master would never be executed on the spot by the Xuanfeng Sect.
The Hidden World Sect has the master's soul lamp, and disciples are guarding it all the time. If anything really happens to the master, they will definitely get the news.
However, since there is such a rumor, I believe that Master really did something in Xuanfeng Sect.
She pulled Wuwei Zhenren out of the spiritual field and said anxiously:
"Oh, Grandmaster! Master is really in trouble. Even though he didn't provoke anyone else's nest, it's almost the same!"
"What's wrong with her?" Wuwei Zhenren was still a little confused, but looking at Qingzhi's expression, he was afraid that something really happened, and it was not a small matter!
Alas, my third disciple is really a troublemaker and never gives me peace of mind!
While asking Qingzhi, Master Wuwei complained in his heart.
"There are rumors out there now that Master stabbed her fiancé Xie Jingxiu in Xuanfeng Sect!
Those people also said that Xie Jingxiu died on the spot, and that his master was killed by the Xuanfeng Sect leader to vent his anger! "
"How is that possible?!" Master Wuwei raised his beard and said in disbelief:
"Xiao Shuyan was watched over by her parents, both Nascent Soul cultivators. How could she possibly be killed in front of them by Sect Leader Xiao, who is also at the Nascent Soul stage?"
He stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and then continued, "Although rumors are unreliable, I'm afraid... Xiao Shuyan attacked Xie Jingxiu in Xuanfeng Sect. This is true!"
When he first heard that Cheng Shuyan agreed to get engaged to Xie Jingxiu, he felt that there must be something wrong.
He could clearly see Cheng Shuyan's hatred for Xie Jingxiu. How could she be willing to get engaged to Xie Jingxiu?
She must have other plans in mind that she wants to fulfill through the engagement.
Could it be that she wanted to use the engagement to get close to Xie Jingxiu and then wait for an opportunity to kill him?
The more Wuwei Zhenren thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth of the matter!
He quickly took out the jade talisman for contacting Cheng Huaixu and asked Cheng Huaixu about the situation.
After a while, Cheng Huaixu's reply came:
"Everything is fine. Brother Shen will go to Xuanfeng Gate to treat Xie Jingxiu. Nephew Yun Jian will also go with him. Brother Wuwei, don't worry!"
After reading this reply, a look of worry instantly appeared on Master Wuwei's face.
"Oh no! I'm afraid your master has done something really serious this time!"
"Why? Didn't Senior Cheng say everything was fine?" Qingzhi asked in confusion.
Immortal Wuwei didn't answer her question. Instead, he instructed her, "Qingzhi girl, go tell your senior sister to find a way to contact Hongyue and Qinglin and have them return to the sect as soon as possible."
"Master, what about you?" Qingzhi asked anxiously.
Wuwei Zhenren has always been a casual person. If it weren't for a major event, he would never recall Jiang Hongyue and Ji Qinglin.
From what he said, since he wanted Lu Fuling to contact the two of them, it meant that he was going to leave the sect.
Qingzhi suddenly became a little panicked.
"I'm going to go find Senior Shen and his son. If Hongyue and the other two come back, you can give them this sound transmission talisman."
He handed Qingzhi a sound transmission talisman, gave her a few brief instructions, and then left the sect.
Cheng Huaixu specifically mentioned the Shen family father and son, presumably these two would be the key to breaking the deadlock.
Rumor has it that Cheng Huaixu and his group were detained by the Xuanfeng Sect. That must be because they were unable to contact the Shen father and son on their own at the time, so they passed the news to him.
……
The Cheng family has been trapped in Xuanfeng Gate for a month.
The Cheng family sent several waves of people here, but they were all blocked by the Xuanfeng Sect.
In addition, the Xuanfeng Sect spoke nicely and only invited the group to stay as guests temporarily, so the Cheng family could not make any move and did not take any action for the time being.
The Xuanfeng Sect was keeping a close watch. In order to guard against Cheng Huaixu and his wife, they sent two Nascent Soul cultivators to stay in the courtyard all the time.
Cheng Shuyan told them that she had made an agreement with Shen Yunjian.
However, if the couple contacted the Shen family directly about this matter, I'm afraid the Xuanfeng Sect would become suspicious.
It happened that at this time, Master Wuwei sent a message. Cheng Huaixu thought about it and mentioned the father and son of the Shen family in his reply.
After he sent the reply letter, Jian Qing said with some concern: "Husband, if you just mention it like this, can Fellow Daoist Wuwei understand?"
"Fellow Daoist Wuwei is a smart man. After receiving this information, even if he doesn't know what to do specifically, he will surely find a way to go find Brother Shen."
The pharmacist of Xuanfeng Sect treated Xie Jingxiu for half a month, and finally chose to seek help from the Shen family half a month ago.
Judging from the time, the news should have reached the Shen family by now, and the Shen father and son must have already set off.
