Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 270 Ancient Willow
Biye.

It was early spring, with a warm sun and gentle breeze. The three of them stood together on the clouds, looking at the man and woman walking in the mountains. Their expressions were different. After waiting for a long time, Liu Qiuci spoke first and said with a smile:

"Ms. Shao Yue, you really have a unique personality. However, this has brought the two of us closer."

Wu Ansha's face twitched slightly when he heard this, and he only said in a low voice:

"She does have a bit of an odd personality, but I think Xingfang and her seem to get along well. She'll become more reserved as we get to know each other better. I can guarantee that."

Liu Qiuci smiled and said nothing more. Although he did not express his attitude towards this marriage directly, he generally supported it. As for the secret actions of Liu Xingfang's parents, he could not hide them from him.

Wu Ansha was a very methodical person. According to the ancient etiquette, he sent two documents, one to Zhixu and the other to Bi Ye. This made Liu Qiuyu secretly have a lot of thoughts.

He just let his cousin do whatever he wanted without giving it too much thought. At least, Xingfang, it was impossible to control this cousin.

"I wonder what Master Xu thinks?"

Wu Ansha hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Xu Xuan and asked for his opinion. He had specially chosen Liu Qiuci to arrange this marriage, one for the Liu family, and the other for Dachi.

Xu Xuan pondered for a moment after hearing this. Wu Shaoyue's previous behavior was indeed a bit strange, which made him feel a little worried.

"It depends on what the two of them think. If it's suitable, we can see."

He said this lightly and dealt with the other party first. He didn't know what else Wu Ansha was hiding. If the other party's daughter had some other problems, wouldn't it be harmful to his own disciple if he made a hasty decision?

As for the small sect that Wu Ansha mentioned, Xu Xuan already had a guess in his mind. It was probably that the Tianshui Wu family wanted to do something about their own sect, but did not want to get too close to it.

Choosing a woman from the side branch to come here is indeed a good plan. She is neither too far nor too close. It is very convenient whether he cuts off the relationship when something bad happens or gets closer after he achieves supernatural powers.

Wu Ansha's body was filled with murderous light, and he only said softly:

"In this case, my family will have more contact with the southern border of Chinan in the future. The sacred land of Changsheng Temple will soon be managed by my branch. The Wu family of Tianshui will all retreat to the imperial capital."

"The situation in the north is not good. The relocation of the blessed land in Tianshui County has revealed some intentions of the Di family."

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes as he sighed:
"My bloodline, with a total of three hundred people, is not in a good situation even though we have some connection with the real person."

At this point, Xu Xuan and Liu Qiuci were both silent. After all, these things involved the Tianshui Wu family, and were somewhat taboo.

"If all the tribe members evacuate, firstly, it will give us a bad reputation and appear like we've abandoned our people. Secondly, if we want to return after things stabilize, it will be difficult to say from a legal perspective."

Wu Ansha spoke frankly at this time, which made Liu Qiuci very frightened. He just hoped that this person would shut up quickly. Xu Xuan, on the other hand, looked normal and not surprised at all.

"After all, my family is nothing more than an abandoned child, and our situation is even worse than yours. This marriage is also for this reason. The Liao people are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid you all can't leave Chiyun."

"Shaoyue's temper is a bit strange. If we really marry, our clan will naturally compensate her. Besides, Shaoyue has excellent talent, a foot of spiritual roots, and usually doesn't get angry. I don't know why she is angry today..."

Wu Ansha sighed. His daughter's marriage really worried him. It was difficult to find a good husband who pleased his daughter.

Xu Xuan's eyes focused slightly. He naturally understood what Wu Ansha meant. The other party was thinking long-term, but the sound of the Liao people's horse hooves was indeed getting closer, so he had to consider it early.

"If Miss Shao Yue is really as Daoist Fellow said, and can restrain her temper a little, she would be a good match. However, this matter is of great importance and cannot be decided lightly."

Xu Xuan said softly at this time, to be fair, Wu Shaoyue has excellent conditions in all aspects, but his personality is really weird, and he doesn't know if Xingfang can accept it.

Being a Taoist partner is a lifelong commitment. If it is not handled properly, both parties may get hurt.

"No problem." Wu Ansha smiled. "I've sent Shaoyue to manage our clan's commerce. We'll first trade with Dachi and the Liu family, and Xingfang will take over."

"Just spend a few years together, maybe it will work out."

Xu Xuan and Liu Qiuci looked at each other silently. The other party was quite sincere. The spiritual land of Changsheng Temple was in his hands. There was a lot of spiritual gold produced, which had many uses. This business was beneficial to all parties.

"That's certainly a great thing." Liu Qiuci responded with a smile, "However, why did Daoist Ansha choose Xingfang so highly? There are also some talented people from other families in the primordial region, such as the Chen and Zhu families."

Wu Ansha shook his head, his eyes swept over Xu Xuan and Liu Qiuci, and said:
"Shao Yue has a discerning eye. If there's anything about a man's appearance, craftsmanship, or cultivation level that doesn't satisfy her, she won't even meet him. After careful investigation, I found out that a nobleman is suitable, so I persuaded her to come and see him."

"As for the Chen and Zhu families, I'm afraid it's difficult to discuss this matter."

Xu Xuan was about to ask about the Duan family, but he remembered that everyone in the Duan family was short in stature, so this marriage might not work out. Otherwise, Duan Pingdu's talent would be the best among the younger generation in the prairie, comparable only to Fayan.

"In that case, then I will follow what Daoist Ansha said. I hope we can discuss the affairs of Northern Liao together in the future."

Xu Xuan smiled and said that marriage was secondary. Now he needed to find out the situation in the north first so that he could make preparations in the future.

"My clan also has this intention. After all, the closest to the north is Da Chi and my family. We naturally understand the principle of lips and teeth being cold."

Liu Qiuci also nodded. South of the Li River is Dachi and the Liu family. Originally, the Wu family was also there, but now it has been destroyed. Naturally, they have to consider the future chaos in the north.

"Okay, in that case, I won't bother you any more. I have caused quite a bit of trouble for you two today." After saying that, Wu Ansha bowed slightly, said goodbye and left. A murderous light rushed up from the mountain. Wu Shaoyue met up with him at this time, and the two headed north.

Liu Xingfang arrived like thunder, with a somewhat depressed look on his face. He bowed and remained silent.

"How are you getting along with Shao Yue?"

Liu Qiuci spoke first and asked Liu Xingfang with a smile.

"This person is not like an ordinary person. I can't say much."

Liu Xingfang's forehead was slightly sweaty. Wu Shaoyue was too weird. He had never seen such a weirdo before. She actually allowed him to hurt her with sword energy. She must have some problem with her brain.

"You go back to the mountain first. We'll see about this matter later. It's still up to you to decide."

Xu Xuan first asked his disciples to return to the mountain first. This hassle made it difficult for Xingfang. Liu Xingfang did not say much. He rode the wind back to the mountain, his body swaying a little.

After Liu Xingfang left, the two of them returned to the hall of the Liu Mansion to discuss something else. Qing Yun stood outside the hall.

"Well? You've been to the frontier, so you should understand it better than I do."

Liu Qiuci sat on the green wooden chair, restrained the smile on his face, and had a worried look in his eyes.

"The six prefectures outside the Great Wall, including Dali, have indeed lost some of their influence. At least in the eyes of the Di family, the area around Tianshui has probably been abandoned long ago."

Xu Xuan pondered for a moment and said:

"Although the Liao people are powerful, there are more important things to do right now.

Xu Xuan was hinting at something, and Liu Qiuci naturally understood it. He looked at Qing Yun beside him and signaled with his eyes. He looked at Qing Yun beside him and saw her activating her magic. The dark blue Ren water light surged, and a letter appeared from it.

There were no other words on the letter, only the word "朱" written in gold powder. Liu Qiuci picked up the letter and a look of worry appeared on his face.

"I invited you here to talk about this matter. The Zhu family has been very active recently. Calculating the time, it's time for that person to come out. The Duan family and my family have both received this letter."

"The Qinghuang Temple in the east sent people to the Zhu family. After they came back, they expanded again, opening up a line of spiritual land between the plains and the Wuhuang, forming an alliance with the Zhu family."

Xu Xuan felt a little depressed. He had always suspected that Qinghuang Temple was a subordinate of Qingwu Dao in the north, and that the Taoist priest Dihuang was a bit evil. He had been silent for many years and had actually established connections with the Zhu family.

Liu Qiuci glanced at Qing Yun outside the hall, then turned back and said softly:
"Zhu Yuanyun led the troops three days ago, and Qinghuang Temple also sent people to accompany him. There were three people in the foundation-building stage. Do you know where they went?"

"There's no fighting on the plains. What's going on?"

Xu Xuan was a little confused. He had come to the plain last time and hadn't seen any war. He didn't know why the Zhu family led the troops, and there were also people from Qinghuang Temple. He didn't know why there was such a big fuss.

Liu Qiuci's face showed deep fear, and he only said in a low voice:

"We attacked into Yuliu, plundered the land for ten miles, and locked the roots of the mountain with the Yuanci formation. Baiqingdong has not been able to fight back."

"?"

When Xu Xuan heard this, his mind raced. What kind of power was Bai Qingdong? With two Purple Mansion Demon Kings in charge, how could the Zhu family dare to offend them?

Previously, Zhu Yucheng killed the demon general stationed on the plain. After all, it involved the Song family and several immortal sects, so Bai Qingdong could have tolerated it. But now he actually attacked Yuliu, which was really unbelievable.

"Don't underestimate this senior. He has extraordinary skills. When he was young, he was almost as famous as Chiyun and Chonghua. Even the Chongyang Sword Immortal of Guiguan and the ancient Shu Golden Blood of the Chen family could not compare to him."

Liu Qiuci's eyes showed deep fear, and he continued:
"This generation of people is the last manifestation of the fate of Great Shu. If they were born in troubled times, without the supervision of the adults, perhaps..."

He hesitated for a long time but did not continue speaking. The word "restore the country" was stuck in his throat. He could neither spit it out nor swallow it. He could only cough a few times.

"I don't know what the Zhu family's past origins were. To be honest, I don't know the history of these families."

Xu Xuan turned his gaze and looked at Liu Qiuci. This doubt had been lingering in his mind for a long time, but he never asked it when facing Chen Weiyuan and Zhu Yucheng. Now he could ask Liu Qiuci.

But Liu Qiuci slowly stood up, sighed lightly, and green light flowed in his hand. The formation changed, and a tunnel appeared from behind the wall of the hall in an instant. It was extremely deep and seemed to lead to the depths of the earth.

"If you want to know, come down with me and you'll understand."

His eyes were dazed, and the green robe on his body was shining. Pieces of green leaves actually fell to the ground, causing ripples. Many sounds were heard, including crying, roaring, and begging for mercy.

Xu Xuan looked towards the tunnel. He faintly sensed a sense of death emanating from this deep underground tunnel.

"It's related to the Netherworld."

The demon's voice sounded in his heart, with a hint of mockery.
