Zhong Zhi An said, “Before Xitu’s accident, he had made a trip to King Jing’s Immortal Mansion. When he came back, he seemed very happy, but he stopped taking jobs ……”
“What did he go to King Jing’s Immortal Mansion for? What kind of jobs did he take?”Lan Xiaobu immediately enquired.
Zhong Zhi An explained, “Xitu was originally an immortal craftsman who specialised in building pavilions and tall buildings for people. King Jing’s Immortal Mansion wanted to build a Yu Guanyu Terrace, so he went to work on it for a few months.”
Lan Xiaobu then understood that Xitu was a construction worker, and to put it bluntly, going around working for powerful people was just that.
“According to the previous situation, after completing the construction of the Immortal Building, Xitu would come back and rest for a maximum of three days, and then would proceed to look for a second job. Even if he had to cultivate, he wouldn’t continue to do so for more than a month. And this time, after returning from King Jing’s Immortal Mansion, he rested for nearly five months and never came out. It should be a retreat at home. I’m the Armour Leader of the Hundred Streams Immortal Corner, so I know his situation.”Zhong Zhi An said.
The reason why he didn’t want to talk about this matter was because it involved the King Jing Immortal Mansion. Xitu came back from King Jing’s Immortal Mansion and did not go out again before being killed.
“What is King Jing’s Immortal Mansion? What is King Jing’s identity?”Lan Xiaobu asked.
Lan Xiaobu was well aware that his question was retarded and made Zhong Zhi’an suspicious. However, he was certain that Zhong Zhi An was scornful of King Jing and wouldn’t go out and divulge such irrelevant questions, and possibly involve King Jing.
Sure enough, when he heard the question asked by Lan Xiaobu, Zhong Zhi An was a bit surprised that Xian Cao in the Immortal Prohibition Division still didn’t know about King Jing’s Immortal Mansion? Thinking of the fact that before, Lan Xiaobu was just as unaware of the Shangguan Immortal Cultivation Family, Zhong Zhi An somewhat suspected that Lan Xiaobu was from out of town and was just looking for connections to enter the Immortal Prohibition Division.
He hurriedly replied, ”King Jing is the seventh son of the king of the Ascending Star Immortal Court, and his mansion is located in the Jiang Yan Immortal Road. King Jing is an Immortal King, and with his father being the Lord of the Immortal Court, he has a very high status in Jiang Yan Immortal Dao.”
Lan Xiaobu did not continue to question King Jing but asked about the Shangguan family, “Who is the highest cultivator in the Shangguan family? What is the cultivation level?”
It would be good for King Jing’s family to understand the situation, Lan Xiaobu was sure that King Jing didn’t know about the Second Dao Canon, if King Jing knew about it, wouldn’t the Second Dao Canon have allowed Xitu to bring it back for cultivation?
As for the possible ways for Xi Tu to get the Second Dao Canon, firstly, he got it at King Jing’s house, but no one in King Jing’s house knew about this matter, and secondly, Xi Tu got it on his way to and from King Jing. Because no one in King Jing’s family knew, Lan Xiaobu favoured the second guess.
“It’s Shangguan Xiao Xiao, he’s Shangguan Qian’s younger brother, but his qualifications are very counter-intuitive and has joined the Nine Ranges Mountain. Right now, he’s at the late Great Supreme Immortal realm, and I’m afraid that it won’t be long before he crosses into the Great Luo Immortal realm.”Zhong Zhi An replied.
“Then can you tell me why Shangguan Qian married Xi Tu?”
Zhong Zhi An said, “That I don’t know, but Shangguan Qian is kind and gentle, and has never borrowed the family to oppress the people of Hundred Streams Immortal Horn.”
Lan Xiaobu handed the Void Breaking Pill in his hand to Zhong Zhi’an, “Thanks to Zhong Xianjia, I’ve finished asking.”
Zhong Zhi An excitedly grabbed the jade bottle and thanked him one after another. Lan Xiaobu knew that at this time Zhong Zhi An only wanted to go back to his seclusion, he simply offered his farewell.
“Shall we go back to the Forbidden Immortal Division?”After leaving the Hundred Streams Immortal Corner, Seed Yi asked.
Lan Xiaobu shook his head, “No not going back for now, let’s make a trip to the Shangguan family.”
Because it had been so long, the Cosmic Dimension Mode had merely constructed two types of Dao Rhyme fluctuations, one of which was the Dao Rhyme fluctuation of the Second Dao Canon, and there was another type that Lan Xiaobu hadn’t come into contact with, but it carried a hostile and murderous aura. This kind of Dao Rhyme fluctuation with a hostile and murderous aura should be the technique practiced by the person who killed Xitu.
This made Lan Xiaobu rule out Shangguan Qian, from Zhong Zhi’an’s mouth, Shangguan Qian is a kind and gentle person, it is obviously impossible to carry this kind of hostile and murderous aura. Precisely because Xitu was not killed by Shangguan Qian, Lan Xiaobu wanted to go to the Shangguan family to take a look.
……
Lan Xiaobu and Seed Yi had just arrived at the outskirts of the Shangguan family when Shangguan Xi, the Shangguan family’s Foreign Affairs Elder, greeted them, “Welcome to the Forbidden Immortal Division, Immortal Cao, to my Shangguan family.”
Seed Yi said from the side, “Big brother Xiao Bu, this is the Shangguan family’s Foreign Affairs Elder, Taoist Friend Shangguan Xi.”
Lan Xiaobu also clasped his fists and said, “Forbidden Immortal Division Lan Xiaobu has met Shangguan Xi, I still have to come here to disturb for a moment or two because I’m investigating the Hundred Streams Immortal Corner Xitu’s case.”
Shangguan Xi sighed and said, “If Lan Xian Cao is here to look for Shangguan Qian, I’m afraid I’ll have to make a trip for nothing.”
What do you mean?Shangguan Qian is not in her mother’s house?
Shangguan Xi made an immortal head salute and said, “Shangguan Qian was taken away by Bo Duanfu, he said that Xitu was murdered and it’s not safe for Qian to stay in Shangguan’s house, so he took Qian away.”
Lan Xiaobu frowns a bit, this is fooling him? Shangguan Qian is not safe to stay in Shangguan family and then will be taken away by Bo Duanfu?
Shangguan Xi knew what Lan Xiaobu was thinking and hurriedly said, “The Bo Duan family once came here to propose a marriage for Bo Duanfu, just to talk to Bo Duanfu and Qian Qian. Qian Qian was promised to Xitu by his father long ago, that’s why he didn’t say yes to Bo Duanfu. Later, he joined the Seven Snow Immortal Sect and did not mention this matter again. This time, when Qian Qian’s partner was killed, it so happened that Bo Duanfu came back, so he took Qian Qian away.”
Seed Yi hurriedly transmitted his voice and said, “Bo Duanfu is the first genius of Bo Duanxiu Immortal Cultivation Family, he is very famous in the whole Jiang Yan Immortal Dao, rumoured to be already in the Da Luo Golden Immortal realm, and there are also two Immortal Kings in Bo Duanxiu Immortal Cultivation Family, which is very strong. I’ve heard that Park Duanfu’s mother is also King Jing’s woman, so it’s normal that the Shangguan family doesn’t dare to resist.”
I see, but this matter is too much of a coincidence, Lan Xiaobu doesn’t quite believe that Park Duanfu is really doing this for Shangguan Qian.
“Since that’s the case, then I won’t disturb.”Lan Xiaobu offered his farewell without hesitation.
He could investigate the Shangguan clan, but he was definitely not qualified to investigate Bo Duanfu.
This matter could no longer be done in the name of the Immortal Prohibition Division, but had to be done secretly. He had to advance to Great Elemental Immortal in a short period of time, otherwise everything was a sham.
“Brother Bo, I’m afraid this matter is not good to investigate.”Seed Yi knew too much about the Park Duan Family and King Jing than Lan Xiaobu. He knew very well that it would be looking for death if he continued to investigate.
Lan Xiaobu patted Seed Yi, “You go back and write that you have gone to investigate the scene of the Baixi Xianjiao case, and the specifics are still under investigation. As for everything else, there’s no need to write.”
Seed Yi also knew that he absolutely could not write about the Park Duan family and King Jing, otherwise this matter would be beyond their control. The owner who had taken out that Xuan Breaking Pill was afraid that he didn’t want to make a big deal out of it either.
“May I ask if you are the Immortal Cao of the Forbidden Immortal Division?”A clear voice called out to Lan Xiaobu.
The person who came out after him was a young woman, Lan Xiaobu looked at the other party suspiciously and said, “That’s right, I’m the Immortal Cao of the Forbidden Immortal Division, Lan Xiaobu, what’s your business?”
This young woman hurriedly handed a crystal ball to Lan Xiaobu, “Immortal Cao Lan, this was given to me by my aunt, she said that if there are people from the Forbidden Immortal Division coming to investigate the case, then give this crystal ball to the Forbidden Immortal Division. If not, then forget it. My aunt is Shangguan Qian.”
After saying these words, the woman eagerly turned around and left, quickly disappearing.
Lan Xiaobu didn’t open the crystal ball, but put it away then said to Seed Yi, “You go to the Department of Prohibited Immortals to help me make a case leave, about a month to half a year or so.”
“Good.”Despite not knowing what Lan Xiaobu was going to do, as an Immortal Guard follower, it was fine as long as he obeyed orders.
Immortal Cao investigating a case was allowed to take a leave of absence, and because of this, Lan Xiaobu had asked Seed Yi to go back and do his leave of absence.
……
Lan Xiaobu didn’t even go back to the Forbidden Immortal Division, Ju Xiu Ruo’s matter was put on the back burner for him. He first returned to his residence and then put up a bunch of prohibitions before taking out the crystal ball.
The crystal ball sparked and immediately an image of Shangguan Qian appeared.
Shangguan Qian was holding a Dao Canon in her hand, and Lan Xiaobu knew at a glance that it was the Second Dao Canon that he had given to Liu Li, and there was absolutely no mistaking it.
“It’s just a Dao Dictionary that my husband got, I don’t know where my husband got it from, he wasn’t willing to say it. Instead, I feel that this Dao Canon will bring disaster to my husband and I. Unfortunately, I can’t persuade my husband not to cultivate this Dao Canon. If something happens to me and my husband one day, it will definitely be caused by this Dao Canon ……”
The image was short, ending in a few simple sentences.
Liu Li was in danger, Lan Xiaobu clenched his fists, to say the least, it was still him who had harmed Liu Li. The Second Dao Canon was something he left to Liu Li, and as a result, Liu Li had an accident because of the Second Dao Canon.
If he wanted to know what had happened to Liu Li, he must go to King Jing’s Immortal Mansion.
Thinking of this, Lan Xiaobu immediately began to set up a Spirit Binding Array and then threw out a bunch of Immortal Crystals. While others cultivated setting up Spirit Gathering Formations, he cultivated setting up Spirit Binding Formations.
After doing this, Lan Xiaobu directly had the Cosmic Dimension Module re-inscribe the Second Dao Canon. A treasure like the Second Dao Canon could be retrieved by Lan Xiaobu at any time.
……
There were quite a few Immortal Cultivation Families in this part of the North River of the Ascended Star Immortal Court, but the most famous ones were the Top Ten Immortal Cultivation Families.
The same top ten Immortal Cultivation Families, the first and the tenth were not on the same level at all. The number one Immortal Cultivation Family in Beijiang was the Cypress Duan Immortal Cultivation Family, the tenth ranked Immortal Cultivation Family didn’t even have a single Da Luo Immortal, while the Cypress Duan Family had two Immortal Kings.
Today is the big day of the Cypress Duan family, saying it is a big day in fact there are only three people attending, these three people are the Cypress Duan family’s first supreme elder Cypress Duanqi and the family head Cypress Duanhuang, the Cypress Duan family’s first genius Cypress Duanfu.
In the most secretive cave of the Cypress Duan Family, Family Head Cypress Duanhuang spoke first, “Nephew Fuzu, the opening ceremony should have been held two months ago, it’s just that the Taishang didn’t come back until today.”
Bo Duanfu was a bit ugly looking, with bulbous eyes and a horse face, but with Dao Rhythm condensed around his body and his cultivation at the early stage of Da Luo Xian, he was considered a strong person in the Bo Duan family.
Hearing the words of the head of the family, Bo Duanfu hurriedly stood up and said, ”The second dao dian is the magic dian, we open the magic dian, naturally we have to be cautious again and again. Moreover, changing the cultivation technique is also a major event for my Cypress Duan Family, so it is proper to wait for the return of the Supreme Elder.”
The Cypress Duan Family Lord’s Taishang Elder was also very satisfied with Cypress Duanfu’s answer as he nodded, “Well, you first take out this Second Dao Canon, let’s take a look at it first.”
“Yes.”Bo Duanfu hurriedly took out a tome from his ring and placed it on the table.
