Chapter 657: Shen's Tragedy
This is a blood-stained letter from the wandering wanderer.
The death of the old Taoist priest made him lose all desire for the way of immortality. After lurking for decades, he finally figured out the identity of the person who raised the ghost.
Unfortunately, Chen Yousanren was only an immortal. When he investigated this secret, he was discovered by the enemy and ended up being killed.
Although the letter was successfully delivered, unfortunately his disciple suffered too much hardship along the way. He insisted on walking to Anshan with a bit of obsession and handed the letter to Li Yuan personally.
He ordered people to bury this disciple of Chen You Sanren properly. Li Yuan also sighed, held the blood-stained letter, and bowed to the four directions, which was considered a farewell to Chen You Sanren.
"Master, you have done me a favor, and now you have paid with your life for it... I will definitely put an end to the evil of the strange creatures!"
Li Yuan clenched his fists, feeling that a catastrophe was coming. Many things happened so suddenly.
Many old acquaintances and friends were dying for various reasons. Even if he tried his best, he could not change this trend.
Sometimes, Li Yuan was so busy that before he could even feel sad, he had to face the next disaster and hear another piece of news that he didn't know whether it was good or bad...
However, the letter does contain very important information, which can allow Li Yuan to prepare for many things in advance, and he can also learn more information through Tian Yao.
Li Yuan flew to the top of the mountain and asked Tian Yao immediately.
"Xiao Dao Ren? Is it him?! This old guy is actually a ghost breeder, he hides very well..."
Tian Yao had been in the Xiantian forces for millions of years, and had made his way to the position of the third emperor. He was very successful, so he naturally knew of the existence of Xiao Daoren.
"But this old man is a counselor, rarely shows up, has a strange personality, and I don't know much about him..."
Tian Yao touched his chin, as if he was recalling something.
After a long time, he smiled evilly.
"But I do remember the location of his cave, brother, how about we go and wait for him?"
After confirming the identity of the person who raised the ghost, Tian Yao almost rubbed his hands and locked onto the target.
Tian Yao had long been tired of running around every day to save people and get rid of disasters. If he didn't care about his relationship with Li Yuan, he would never have cooperated in this way.
The ancient celestial demon, who had committed countless murders, did not have much mercy on living beings. Not deliberately bullying the weak was already the only bottom line for the celestial demon.
The only things it is truly passionate about are looting and stealing treasures.
In ancient times, it slaughtered the dragon clan, killed all enemies, and killed all creatures that stood in its way. It can't be said that it was decisive in killing, but it killed anyone it saw if it had a disagreement.
Not only will they kill, they will also find different ways to kill, and they will do everything they can to find the people's lairs and rob them clean.
The passing geese pluck their feathers, leaving no grass to grow.
Because of this, he almost became a complete villain with a bad reputation. He was hated by many powerful people in the three realms, who wanted to surround and kill him.
After listening to Tian Yao's suggestion, Li Yuan weighed the Fushang Sword and was somewhat tempted.
"Chen You Sanren said in the letter that this guy has many tricks up his sleeve. If you and I go alone, it might not be safe."
"I want to hire another person."
Li Yuan thought about it for a long time and did not act impulsively.
Tian Yao was a little curious: "Who are you going to invite?"
Li Yuan was also thinking about the possibility of this matter: "I plan to... go to the Wuji Secret Realm to invite a faceless strongman. He is also a powerful and powerful man, and he has the Prison Sword in his hand."
"When he was born, he had a life-and-death battle with a powerful being. Later, I made some inquiries and found out that the powerful being was secretly from the Xiantian lineage."
"This faceless warrior may have some grievances with the Xiantian lineage. If we can get him to take action... with the power of the three fierce swords, even if the Taoist Xiao has the Dingque Sword, he should not be able to escape."
The faceless strong man was once a subordinate of the Human Emperor and has a close relationship with the Human Emperor. Li Yuan is also involved with the Human Emperor, so there should be a chance to persuade him.
Li Yuan thought very clearly.
This matter should either not be done; if it is to be done, one must attack suddenly, surround and kill with all one’s strength, leaving no room for the other party!
Tian Yao also nodded, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and discussed with Li Yuan.
Just as the two were discussing, the colorful chicken suddenly flew back from a very far distance.
"Lord Mountain God!"
The colorful-feathered chicken had a complicated look on its face, with an unspeakable meaning.
Li Yuan immediately raised his sword and went forward: "But who is in trouble?"
If his relatives or friends are in trouble, he will definitely rush there as soon as possible to help them out.
Landing on the top of the mountain, the colorful-feathered chicken transformed into a handsome young man and shook his head hesitantly:
"Not this time...but..."
Li Yuan frowned slightly, walked to the colorful-feathered chicken, and cursed with a smile, pretending to hit it: "Why are you hesitating? What on earth happened?"
The colorful-feathered chicken shrank its neck. It had always had a foul mouth, but today it seemed to know something and was being extra honest.
"Ahem... the god of Liangshan said..."
"That mortal woman named Shen is already dead..."
Li Yuan's raised hand paused in mid-air.
He shook the sword in his hand, was silent for a moment, and said in a calm voice:
"The life span of mortals is finite. This is destiny. There is no need to ask for anything in return."
Caiyu Chicken ignored Li Yuan's reaction and told him the whole story.
And Li Yuan just listened quietly.
Shen Xuanxi died several years ago. This gentle woman, while trying to save some displaced refugees, was targeted by evil spirits and killed.
However, there are constant disasters in the human world and troubles in the underworld as well.
The guide of Liang State was devoured by demons, and no one has taken his place since then.
After leaving Anshan, the Liangshan Mountain God returned to the Liangshan area and tried his best to maintain order.
After destroying the demon, the mountain god of Liangshan searched for Shen Xuanxi's soul in the mortal world for several years before he found it and told Li Yuan about it.
Li Yuan listened to Caiyu Chicken silently, paused for a moment, nodded, and said nothing.
Caiyu Chicken looked at the silent Li Yuan and scratched his neck anxiously: "Lord Mountain God!"
It wanted to say something, but felt that no matter what it said, it would be inappropriate at this moment. In the end, it did not express its opinion, but only said the words of the Liangshan Mountain God:
"The mountain god of Liangshan said that there seems to be trouble in the underworld. A wandering mortal soul cannot reach the underworld without a guide."
"He said he wanted you to give him a ride because... you owed him a false promise."
Li Yuan did not speak, holding the Fushang Sword tightly in his hand, but his eyes subconsciously looked towards the bamboo forest in Anshan.
Tian Yao listened for a while and urged softly, "It's just a visit. It won't take much time."
"Don't worry about the tribulation of love or heart. You did waver for a moment. There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Don't leave any regrets."
It had heard Li Yuan mention this matter during casual chats in the past and had some understanding of it.
Li Yuan took a deep breath, looked at Tian Yao and Cai Yu Chicken, shook his head, and forced a smile.
“Sometimes, the wrong encounter is already a regret.”
He finally set off and flew towards Liangshan.
Perhaps, just as the mountain god of Liangshan said, he knew that he would enjoy immortality, but he still hesitated and made a false promise, which was a deception in itself.
At the beginning, I thought that I had admitted it openly, faced the disaster calmly, and saved Shen Xuanxi's life with my own methods, so there was nothing I owed to him.
But the voice in his heart always told him that the bamboo forest in his memory had become an indelible mark.
Never perfect, never perfect...
