His thoughts were actually very clear; he was simply afraid of offending the Immortal Alliance.
What’s funny is that when Yu Keqing came, he was so scared that he didn’t dare to say a word.
None of the elders present dared to speak, and they were all waiting for Luo Xingjian to come forward and clean up the mess.
Master Sword Immortal suddenly felt a little nauseous.
During these days as the acting Sword Master, he suddenly understood why Yu Keqing had been so overbearing in holding all the power in the past.
These elders are so greedy.
He is afraid of offending the Immortal Alliance and Yu Keqing's revenge, so he is as timid as a mouse. However, he is very bold in taking advantage of any opportunity to gain various benefits.
If he didn't watch over them personally, even the spirit stones given to new disciples for their cultivation would probably be put into their pockets.
Unfortunately, the relationships among these elders in the Sword Cave were complicated, and some were even older than Yu Keqing. Although Luo Xingjian felt disgusted in his heart, he could not show it on the surface.
"No need to confirm. It was the Immortal Alliance who contacted me. They probably left some tricks on Liang Dao Ren. They knew about it as soon as he got into trouble."
He waved his hand.
"What? This woman is going to cause such a big mess for my sword cave..."
"Say less, don't let her hear it."
The group of elders immediately showed expressions of anger, and a few were clearly fearful. Even the Sword Master was looking around vigilantly, as if he was afraid that Yu Keqing would suddenly attack him.
What’s funny is that they were the ones who decided to remove Yu Keqing.
Luo Xingjian’s headache now is how to take the head off.
Hanging it in Jianshou Pavilion would not only humiliate my own face, but it would also be a big deal if the envoy of the Immortal Alliance saw it.
But Yu Keqing's sword intent was too powerful. Even he could only wait for the sword intent to dissipate over time.
"Tsk tsk, my silly disciple..."
A strange voice suddenly came from above his head. Luo Xingjian was slightly startled. He immediately raised his head and looked vigilantly at the black-robed figure that suddenly appeared next to Jianshou Pavilion.
There were no signs, just like what happened to Yu Keqing at that time.
"Ah, don't panic, it's my fault, Master Sword Immortal. I am the one who contacted you earlier, and I am here to retrieve Master Liang's head on the orders of the Immortal Alliance."
The acquaintance sensed the sword immortal's hostility, and the man smiled and took off his hood, revealing a middle-aged man's face that was nothing special, and the aura on his body was only barely at the level of a god.
Luo Xingjian remembered that this man was the little follower under Liang Dao Ren who was usually responsible for delivering messages.
There was just a spider belly pattern that looked like a human face on the eyeball.
puppet.
Luo Xingjian's face was solemn. Although the group of useless elders were unaware of it, he clearly heard them calling Liang Daoren their disciple in their whispers.
Chapter 171: Immortal Alliance Envoy
His realm is only the Spirit Transformation realm, which is not good enough to be compared with this group of elders who have started from the Return to Void realm. Even with the identity of an envoy of the Immortal Alliance, his status is too unequal.
The elders all frowned.
In the past, when Yu Keqing was still around, Luofu Sword Cave was the largest sect in Penglai Continent. The envoys sent by various sects were at least at the Return to Void stage. Some sect masters and elders would even come in person, even if it was just to receive a verbal order.
Now, Liang Dao Ren is dead, and the one who came to replace him is actually a god...
Even without Yu Keqing, Luofu Sword Cave would not decline immediately. The Immortal Alliance might be going too far in treating them like this.
"Don't get me wrong. It is still Lord Liang who is in charge of the contact with the Sword Cave. I am only here to take him back to recuperate."
The black-robed man seemed to see their dissatisfaction. Even when facing the pressure from several Return to Void masters who were stronger than himself, he seemed unaffected and even smiled calmly.
"Recuperate? You only have your head left, what's the point of resting?"
One of the elders snorted coldly.
Obviously, they were still thinking about how to use the Immortal Alliance to deal with Yu Keqing, but now that they were treated so perfunctorily, their attitude suddenly showed some dissatisfaction, and they were even angry and embarrassed.
Unlike this group of useless elders who were unaware, Luo Xingjian clearly heard the black-robed man call out "silly disciple" and saw the spider belly pattern flash in his eyes. He frowned and became alert.
This was definitely not the other party's original body. Luo Xingjian had seen Taoist Liang use similar magical powers before.
When they first encircled and suppressed Yu Keqing, Liang Daoren used this trick to control a little mortal girl.
People who practice Taoism are not bound by formalities, and Luo Xingjian is not a rigid person who is inflexible.
But it's too weird to always capture people's attention.
If you often associate with such people, who can guarantee that one day you won't be subjected to their strange magical powers?
"What's your name?"
Luo Xingjian took a deep breath but did not let down his guard.
"My name is Lin Changyu."
The black-robed man with an ordinary look saluted.
Even the name was ordinary. Luo Xingjian guessed that this was probably the name of the original owner of the body in front of him, not the person he was talking to.
He shook his head.
"If you have nothing to hide, why don't you show me your true self?"
The sword immortal's voice was slightly cold, and a burst of combined aura spread out in all directions.
This was a deterrent to the Immortal Alliance and also a warning to their own people. The elders who had been talking at first suddenly calmed down.
"As expected of a famous swordsman. Even among the many combined masters I have seen, he is one of the most powerful..."
Although cold sweat had clearly appeared on his forehead under the pressure, "Lin Changyu" still looked as usual.
That look didn't seem to be one of fear, but rather of someone looking at some rare treasure.
Luo Xingjian felt extremely cold.
The disconnect between his expression and his body's reaction actually confirmed Luo Xingjian's guess.
"However, Master Sword Immortal must have misunderstood something. I am here simply to follow orders. If you don't believe me, I still have a token here."
He withdrew his weird look, reached behind him, and slowly took out a jade token.
It is the token of the master of the Immortal Alliance.
The jade is translucent, at least a thousand-year-old spiritual jade, and the carving is fine, looking full of righteousness. Above it is engraved the word "Xian" in ancient characters, symbolizing the heritage of the Immortal Alliance.
In the entire Immortal Alliance, there are not many people who can pick up this jade token, at least none of the good Taoists in the past.
In a blink of an eye, the looks of the elders towards the man in black robe changed again.
"Don't worry, elders. The Immortal Alliance will finish what it starts. Since they have agreed to help the Sword Cave to eliminate demons and defend the Way, they will naturally not let that witch go..."
The man in black robe chuckled again.
Luo Xingjian knew that the other party was playing dumb, but he really couldn't do anything to him.
Even if he captured this man, he would only have captured a puppet. Moreover, the Sword Cave was facing countless internal and external troubles, so there was no need to make another powerful enemy.
But Luo Xingjian always had a strange feeling.
Even that "witch" might be a hundred times more righteous than the Immortal Alliance.
At least, when he met her just now, Jian Shou was still as cold and domineering as ever, keeping everyone at a distance and not allowing any attack.
Moreover, although no one knows where Yu Keqing is hiding, it has been such a long time since the end of the battle with "Yunxian", there has been no news of her evil spirit breaking out and bringing disaster to all living beings.
Luo Xingjian thought a lot for a while, and suddenly began to doubt whether his decision to join the Immortal Alliance to encircle and suppress Yu Keqing was correct.
He had always felt that there was something fishy about Yu Keqing's attacks of evil, so he had been holding back in the past.
"So, can I go and take Lord Liang back?"
"Yes, but the sword head... Yu Keqing left his sword intent there. If we don't wait for it to dissipate..."
"That's not necessary."
The man in black robe suddenly smiled calmly, and slowly flew into the air with his sword, looking at the head that originally belonged to Liang Daoren with interest.
The sword intent had been there for several hours, but there was no sign of dissipating. Many elders in Luofu Sword Cave were helpless, but he just reached out his hand.
In a blink of an eye, the cuffs of the black robe were cut into pieces by the invisible sword energy, and even the flesh and blood were blurred, revealing the white bones.
Many elders, including Luo Xingjian, frowned as they watched.
"I made you laugh."
Only bones were left of one of his arms, and blood was dripping down.
"Then I will take him back to the Immortal Alliance."
The man in black robe looked pale, obviously having lost too much blood, but he was still smiling, as if he felt no pain and was not afraid of death, which made him even more creepy.
After saying this, he disappeared without any warning.
The other party's behavior was too strange, and all the elders felt uneasy.
But in comparison, Yu Keqing, who might come back for revenge at any time, also made them terrified.
Luo Xingjian sighed inwardly.
"Everyone, please stay at the sect. I need to go out for a while."
He felt uneasy. Perhaps there were some things that could only be confirmed with one's own eyes.
For example, what is the true origin of this black-robed man from the Immortal Alliance?
For example, is Yu Keqing really crazy?
. . . . . .
The next morning, Ye Xun and Yu Keqing opened their eyes almost at the same time.
Well, Ye Xun didn’t sleep at all that night, for he was afraid that once he closed his eyes, he would lose control while sleeping and touch something he shouldn’t touch, and then be killed by the sword master in shame and anger when he woke up in the morning.
But fortunately, after Jianshou woke up, he just glanced at him indifferently and said nothing more.
The atmosphere is weird and harmonious.
Everything was the same as usual. Ye Xun was busy at the side, making a fire and cooking. Jian Shou sat cross-legged beside him, occasionally glancing in his direction as if nothing had happened.
Under normal circumstances, he should have been accustomed to the sword master's gaze, but after what happened last night, he felt a little strange.
Ye Xun deliberately ignored the thorny gaze behind him and continued to cook porridge.
He actually wanted to spar with the Sword Master to verify what level he had reached, but due to the embarrassment of last night, he was unable to start the conversation.
Yu Keqing held the jar of wine in her hand, gently stroking the seal on it, and seemed to be slightly distracted.
"Sword head."
Ye Xun's voice suddenly came from behind him, and Lord Jianshou almost slipped and broke the jar. In an attempt to cover up his mistake, he quickly put away the jar and looked up calmly as if nothing had happened.
"What's the matter?"
Chapter 172 I'm Afraid I Can't Help Beating You
Ye Xun spoke slowly.
"I prepared breakfast."
Yu Keqing suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind and nodded.
The breakfast was just a light porridge, but it was warm. After the two finished their breakfast, Ye Xun suddenly called out again.
"Sword head."
"What's the matter?"
Lord Sword Master once again suppressed the inexplicable distracting thoughts that arose in his mind, and then he saw Ye Xun bringing a bowl of medicinal soup.
"I cooked some nourishing soup, Jianshou, please try it."
She glanced at the clear red medicine with a slightly odd look in her red eyes, frowned, took a sip, and was surprised by its sweetness.
"I put red beans and brown sugar in it. Jian Shou drank a lot of wine yesterday, and it can relieve his hangover."
Ye Xun said as a matter of course.
