Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 237 Water Splashing Skills Competition

Wei Xi looked at the trembling tail feathers, and flames of anger danced in his eyes.

"Master Yun," the Zhenhai Sect's leader, who had been silent for a long time, slammed the table. "This is our Zhenhai Sect's Huichao Hall! You're taking action here. Don't you take our Zhenhai Sect seriously?"

"Zhu Sanjin, if anything happens to Yun Qing, I will tear down the Zhenhai Sect!"

"How dare you!" "How dare you!"

The Yun family's words infuriated the crowd. The fact that a disciple of the Zhenhai Sect was willing to go down the mountain to fight showed that he had a strong temper. Now that they were being attacked, the Zhenhai Sect cultivators drew their swords one by one, flashing a silver light. The spiritual energy around them was so dense that it condensed into substance.

Following the dusty head of the Yun family was a group of guards. These elite members of the Yun family immediately summoned their contracted beasts, and the majestic monsters of all kinds filled half of the Huichao Hall.

The atmosphere in Huichao Hall was tense, and Wei Xi and the other two stood out in the middle of the hall.

A sword energy wrapped in green flames split the condensed spiritual energy of the two sides. With a bang, the heavy gate of Huichao Palace, which was several meters high, shattered into foam.

"Everyone, calm down," Gao Ming stood up and put away his sword, "We won't find anyone to fight here!"

Qin Feng's eyes sparkled: You know, Gao Mingxian just stood up casually, without even accumulating spiritual power, and swung the sword without taking it out of the scabbard.

What is a sword cultivator? Qin Feng felt that this was what a sword cultivator looked like. The Huaixin Sect's people were simply a pile of mud.

Qin Feng originally only knew that she wanted to be the best swordsman in the world, to enter the Dao with a sword, and to ascend to heaven. Unfortunately, her talent allowed her to see that most swordsmen were just clumsy swordsmanship copycats, but it could not give her a reference.

Now that Gao Ming took action first, Qin Feng immediately found the direction to move forward.

Wei Xi's focus was completely different: although Master Gao's sword seemed impartial, it was actually extremely biased.

The disciples of Zhenhai Sect only had their external spiritual power broken, but the people brought by the Yun family were knocked to the ground by this sword. The monsters that were originally grinning at the teeth became humble and lay obediently on the ground.

A master has many functions, one of which is rapid freezing. When Gao Mingxian did this, the situation cooled down instantly.

"Master Yun has come a long way and must have worked hard. We understand that you are extremely worried about your daughter's disappearance, but that's no reason for you to act recklessly in Zhenhai Sect."

Gao Mingxian's tone was flat, but no one dared to disobey him. The aristocratic family delegations who had straightened their backs at the sight of help also stopped their anger and sat back unwillingly.

"Minister Yun, the various sects are also helping to find the Second Young Miss," Prince Wuyang took the initiative to take on the important task of providing a way out. "This fellow Daoist Wei was previously a teammate of the Second Young Miss and is also one of the survivors of the trial field."

Wei Xi, who was sneaking back with his two friends, was forced to stop.

Wei Xi pushed Qin Feng and Lian Gou back to the team with all his strength. In his heart, he cursed King Wuyang as a shameless villain and wished him an early death and a restless family!
Cursing bitterly in his heart, Wei Xi wore a humble smile on his face and said frankly, "King Wuyang was worried about Miss Yun's safety for some reason and asked me to be her bodyguard. Second Miss Yun also escaped from the secret realm of the wooden tower successfully. I have lived up to King Wuyang's trust!"

Wei Xi felt that the King of Wuyang wasn't particularly impressive, and his words were just as sarcastic. However, she wasn't one to take kindly to him, and after just a few words, she threw dirty water all over him.

"Master Yun, as soon as we discovered that the three guests were missing, we immediately organized a search in different areas. We also informed the Yun and Wan families of the situation and provided a lot of assistance."

"An accident occurred at the Trial Field, and these disciples, even though their injuries hadn't fully healed, came here to provide information. They're truly dedicated. Their testimony is also recorded, and there's no direct connection to the three missing people."

Gao Mingxian almost said: Pack up and prepare to collect your daughter's body.

The head of the Yun family obviously did not accept this result. He did not even sit down and said in a deep voice: "The people I brought have entered the area near the trial field. As for these young Taoist friends, don't move for the time being!" Wei Xi frowned slightly, not understanding why this man was imprisoning them?
With the help of King Wuyang and the aristocratic family, this somewhat excessive request was approved, even though the people in the sect looked at this crappy request with a pinch of salt.

The perceptive Wei Xi sensed something was wrong: it seemed that Yun Qing's father didn't care much about his daughter's life or death.

Now that war is raging, it stands to reason that the Yun family leader can travel all the way to Zhenhai Sect without any obstacles, which is inseparable from the escort of the elite around him.

There are many guards behind the head of the Yun family, and they are short of manpower at the moment. If they really want to find someone, they can just send everyone to conduct a carpet search near the trial field.

The more Wei Xi thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. Suddenly, an almost absurd guess emerged in his mind: the head of the Yun family or the Yun family did not really want to find the three people who had mysteriously disappeared.

What made Wei Xi even more puzzled was that this "strong ally" of the Yun family did not dispatch any personnel to investigate and verify the identity of the assassin to see if there were any accomplices involved in the assassination against the Yun family or the Wan family.

You know, this is an explanation that makes sense at the moment.

At this moment, two young men entered Huichao Hall and cut a temporary path through the dense and orderly crowd.

The two cultivators knelt down in front of Patriarch Yun and said, "Patriarch, we haven't found the young lady."

"However, we followed the burrower's sense of smell and found a dead tree outside the trial field, and here I found this!"

Two guards took out two trays and handed them to the head of the Yun family and the head of the Gao family respectively.

"These two treadle arrows were found on the trunk of a dead tree. This type of arrowhead is a sharp triangle with a ridge in the middle and two sharp, rear corners that protrude backwards. The shaft is made of wood and has a square edge. This type of arrow is often used for firing from hand crossbows."

"There were signs of a struggle at the scene, and several pools of blood on the ground."

The moment Wei Xi heard about the tread-prong arrow, her heart sank to the bottom, because the crossbow she was using was equipped with tread-prong arrows.

Patriarch Yun stared at the broken arrows on the tray and asked, "Most of the disciples of Zhenhai Sect practice swordsmanship. I'd like to ask which of the disciples participating in the trial use crossbows?"

At that moment, many thoughts raced through Wei Xi's mind, but she knew she could easily find out by asking the survivors. So, for the third time that day, she stepped out of the line and replied loudly, "I am a monk who uses a crossbow!"

Those noble families who were sitting upright were like hyenas that smelled blood, and they couldn't wait to clamor to convict her.

There was chaos in Huichao Palace for a while, and several young men from noble families jumped out and requested that Wei Xi be detained and tortured to extract a confession.

Listening to these people shouting, Wei Xi was speechless: Why are there idiots jumping around everywhere?
The people from various sects on the stage also looked unhappy.

Clear applause came from the direction of the Huichao Palace's gate that had turned to ashes. The applause was like some strange signal, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

The discussion in Huichao Hall came to an abrupt halt, and everyone's eyes were focused on the door.

"I thought they had some special abilities. After all these years, the noble families in Jucheng haven't made any progress!"

Wei Xi could see clearly: the visitor was a tall, middle-aged man in a gray Taoist robe and long shepherd boots, about thirty years old. His bright, large eyes, set beneath prominent brows, resembled two cold pools. A maroon cotton cloth with a formation pattern drawn on it stretched from his right shoulder to his waist, wrapped several times, and hung from it were several strange tools.

"These arrows are everywhere on the streets. You're trying to convict us Qingcheng Sect disciples with something like this? Boss Yun, you're truly ridiculous!"
