The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

"As I remember, Lang Qi is currently the only hidden chess piece in the palace in the waters of the Twenty-Eight Star Islands. That is the place where the Cang Xuan Sect cooperates with the Heavenly Court to condense the Immortal Yuan Stone. Logically, there should be no danger. The last report by Lang San, who is supervising this person, said that in order to allow Lang Qi to lurk smoothly, he even deliberately did not teach him the art of refining the spirits, just to avoid being discovered by the patrolling immortal officials, so that the palace will have the opportunity to catch the people who set up the formation of the Butian Sect and the twenty-eight Immortal Yuan Stone formations at a critical moment in the future. Before that, I also specifically reminded him not to assign him tasks to use this chess piece, and let him lurk for a long time. Logically, there should be no danger!"

The white-haired Taoist stared at the compass and pondered for a while. The next moment, his huge divine sense as vast as a mountain and as vast as the sea swept across the entire Zhou Yuan Immortal Palace in an instant. He immediately sensed the breath of the monitoring immortal envoy sent by the Heavenly Court, which was still clearly visible in the palace thousands of miles away from him.

"Brother Tihu, why are you covering the Immortal Palace with your divine consciousness? Do you have any instructions?"

“Fellow Taoist Zuoqiu, please don’t be offended. I have been in seclusion for a long time. This time I just released my spiritual thoughts to look far into the distance, just to ease my mind. Please do as you please.”

"Haha, so that's how it is. The immortal officials below have recently presented us with a lot of excellent immortal tea and Taoist fruits. If you have some free time, why don't you put aside the troubles of the world for a while and come here to drink tea and discuss Taoism. Wouldn't it be great to enjoy the leisure time and chat about love and romance?"

"Ahem, my merits and virtues are at a critical point and cannot be released. Fellow Taoist Zuoqiu, enjoy it all by yourself! Haha!"

The other party also noticed that the old Taoist's spiritual thoughts covered the Immortal Palace, and actually greeted him with a little kindness, and asked politely what was the matter.

The white-haired Taoist priest casually said a few perfunctory words to deal with the situation. Then, when his huge divine consciousness was withdrawn to his own palace, the Taoist priest's eyes suddenly became gloomy.

"He's like a dog-skin plaster. He's been everywhere I go for tens of thousands of years. Could it be that he has doubts about me? Damn it, with this person watching me, I can't be alone for a moment! It seems I have to take some risks and inform Wolf Three who is lurking in Cangxuan Sect about this."

The white-haired Taoist's eyes flickered, and his spiritual thoughts swept through the palace inch by inch. After confirming that Huangfu's spiritual thoughts did not follow in, he took out a golden mask with dragon and phoenix patterns engraved on both sides. The style was exactly the same as the masks Xuyang had seen, but there was no single scratch on it.

The old Taoist stretched out his hand and rubbed the mask for a while, then suddenly put it on his face. However, before he could use the power of the mask to communicate with another hidden agent of Cang Xuan Sect through the air, the golden mask spontaneously flashed.

The next moment, a ray of purple light shot out from the mask and projected onto the jade platform in front of which the white-haired Taoist was sitting cross-legged. After a twist and shake, the image of a towering old man in purple robe with an extremely ethereal aura condensed. The purple-robed Taoist smiled and bowed, and his voice descended upon this place like an echo from the sky, extremely ethereal.

"Fellow Daoist Tihu, how are you?"

The white-haired old Taoist suddenly looked ugly, and he managed to squeeze out a sentence in a dry voice: "Lu! Are you trying to harm me? You didn't agree on a time in advance, but you communicated with me across domains without authorization. If I were with the Supervisory Immortal Envoy at this time, wouldn't I be exposed immediately? I secretly joined the Samsara Palace because the Palace Master sincerely invited me. I am not playing house when I do things with my life at risk!"

The purple-robed old man was startled at first, then smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Taoist friend Tihu. As the deputy hall master, how could I not know the rules of the hall? Before contacting you, I first communicated with an immortal envoy in Zhouyuan Palace who was in seclusion. I will contact you only after I confirm that you also declare to be in seclusion.

Besides, the Samsara Mask was made by me, and I personally used the Nine Nether Principle. Even if an immortal below Daozu were to sit within three feet of you, they would never be able to detect anything unusual. Moreover, before we could truly establish a cross-domain connection, if I could sense the presence of someone else in your place, I would retract the Nine Nether Principle and would definitely not really activate it. How could I put my fellow Daoist in danger? After all, my fellow Daoist is highly valued by the Palace Master and has been entrusted with important tasks!"

"Hmph! Although Daoist Fellow's Nine Nether Principles are well-known for their secrecy, it is still better to be careful! Stop talking nonsense! What do you want from me? You should know that I only need to report directly to the Palace Master for the Zhou Yuan Immortal Realm's plan. Apart from providing support for the transaction, communication and delivery of items for the Reincarnation Mask, you have no right to inquire about specific matters!"

The white-haired Taoist felt annoyed when he heard this, but the other party had already explained patiently, so he couldn't get angry any more and could only snort in annoyance.

"Huh! You even set up a secret plot that I didn't even know about!"

Before this, among the thousands of immortal officials in the Immortal Palace, there were indeed a dozen subordinates of the Samsara Hall under his jurisdiction, but most of them had been sent out to perform their duties in an open capacity. The few who remained in the Immortal Palace were also within the range of his divine consciousness and were practicing in their respective caves.

Now, another one suddenly popped up in the other party's mouth, and it was not displayed on the white jade compass. Needless to say, it must be a secret line of the headquarters directly under the command of the commander, and it might be used to monitor himself!

Now this Lu suddenly contacted him, and exposed the hidden card intentionally or unintentionally, was he deliberately trying to catch him? Or was the Palace Master dissatisfied with the progress of the plan and instructed Lu to do so?
But as one of the nearly millions of new Daluo who had joined the Samsara Palace, the headquarters had set up a separate secret line, which might have been laid out long before he took office as the master of the Immortal Palace. It was unnecessary to tell him everything, so he had no intention of arguing with the other party about this matter and just wanted to deal with it quickly.

After all, when the mask was activated, he had just met the Immortal Supervisor's spiritual power through the air. For this Immortal Supervisor who was in the middle stage of Daluo, a range of thousands of miles was no different from being very close, which really made him a little frightened.

If he were to be exposed, he would no longer be able to lead a noble and comfortable life as the Lord of the Immortal Palace, and would be forced to become a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone, just like those people in the headquarters of the Palace of Samsara!

You know, although the white-haired Taoist priest was forced to join because of temptation and the fact that the Lord of the Hall of Reincarnation had some handle on him, he did not want to abandon his family and career and work for the Hall of Reincarnation without leaving any way out. It would not be good for him if the Heavenly Court and the Hall of Reincarnation really started a decisive battle.

It is best to maintain the status quo. As one of the few late Daluo cultivators in the True Immortal Realm, the best strategy is to wait and see and wait for the right price. He can get the benefits from both the Heavenly Court and the Hall of Samsara. For his own personal interests, the old Taoist even deliberately delayed the plan of infiltrating the Zhouyuan Immortal Realm in secret.

Just as the white-haired Taoist was secretly complaining in his heart, the purple-robed old man who came through the air also knew that he was in the wrong, and hurriedly said a few words to comfort him. Seeing that the white-haired Taoist was becoming more and more impatient, he straightened his face and talked about the purpose of this trip.

"Brother Tihu, did one of your subordinates encounter an accident just now?"

Hearing this, the white-haired Taoist priest immediately exploded, puffing his beard and glaring at him: "Mr. Lu, I've already said it just now, I am fully responsible for the affairs of Zhouyuan Fairyland, and I am only responsible to the Palace Master. If you..." "I'm not interested in interfering in fellow Taoist's plan. Here's a third-grade Xuanzhen Dao Pill! It's your turn to do a favor! This pill can not only condense the Daluo True Soul, but it is also very effective in repairing the True Soul's origin and suppressing the Three Corpses. Now that fellow Taoist priests are being monitored by the Immortal Envoy, I believe you must be fed up and unable to go to the front nine heavens to collect it yourself, right?" This time, the purple-robed old man on the opposite side understood the Taoist priest's temper and gave the benefits directly and concisely.

"Third-grade Xuanzhen Pill? Mr. Lu, have you been possessed by your own corpse? Are you crazy and want to give me such a benefit for free?"

The white-haired Taoist priest did not show any joy when he heard this. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and became suspicious. However, he could not resist the temptation after all. After thinking for a while, he slowly said:
"According to the feedback from the Samsara Compass just now, there is indeed an early Golden Immortal member in the palace who has had an accident, but the lives of ten thousand Golden Immortals cannot be exchanged for a single drop of Xuanzhen Essence, not to mention the addition of a dozen extremely precious million-year-old immortal medicines to refine a finished Xuanzhen Pill! You are using such a treasure to ask a mere Golden Immortal? The value is not equal!

Moreover, your Nine Netherworld Law is known to be everywhere under the universe. You can directly descend to the place where this person has an accident! Why bother to exchange it with a Xuanzhen Pill? The samsara masks are all made by you. Your Dao Mind can come to me, and you can go to the place in Zhouyuan Immortal Realm. As for the list of my subordinates wearing masks, don’t say that you deliberately didn’t investigate in order to avoid suspicion from me. You must have left a hidden hand for these masks!"

“Brother Daoist, don’t be anxious and listen to what I have to say! The reason why I am interested in that little golden immortal is because he has just activated the Immortal Talisman of the Nine Netherworlds of Reincarnation! This talisman is a Taoist talisman that I refined using the top-grade divine crystal of reincarnation bestowed by the Palace Master himself and my Nine Netherworld Law as the catalyst! Once this talisman is activated, even the Taiyi Jade Immortal who is only one step away from advancing to the Daluo stage will not be able to stop the power of this talisman without a powerful immortal weapon. Now that this person has used this immortal talisman, he still cannot escape. You should know what this means, right?” The purple-robed old man answered simply.

"The Samsara Nine Netherworlds Immortal Talisman is indeed a masterpiece of Daoist fellow craftsmanship. I have also collected a few of them. Do you mean that the reason why this person got into trouble is because a Daluo being who is no less powerful than you and me discovered his abnormality? That's why the accident happened?"

The white-haired old man frowned upon hearing this, his eyes flickered, and then he asked cautiously: "I see, I almost notified the nearby temple people to investigate the abnormality. But what does this have to do with the Xuanzhen Pill? Shouldn't I thank you for the news?
Moreover, even if this person fails to cast the Dao Talisman, you can still send down a strand of Dao Thought to investigate. Even if the other party is a Daluo, you can just abandon that strand of Dao Thought. Are you afraid that the old blind man will follow this breath and find out the location of the headquarters? Have you forgotten that the old blind man is about to die? He dare not calculate yours!"

"He doesn't dare! I don't dare even more!"

The purple-robed old man's eyes suddenly became deep, and he said slowly: "Even if the power of this immortal talisman is broken by a Daluo of the same level, it will at most be shattered. The origin of the Nine Nether Principles as the core will still follow the turbulent flow of the void and return to my body! But do you know what happened just now?"

"What happened?" The white-haired old man's eyes flickered.

His expression became more and more suspicious, fearing that he had been betrayed by the other party.

"My source of law has been completely devoured!" The purple-robed old man lowered his eyes and said slowly with unclear emotions.

"What? Devour? Impossible! Taoist Patriarch Qu Lin had already been killed by Xuanyuan Jie. What do you mean?" The white-haired Taoist looked unconvinced, then he suddenly thought of something and shuddered.

"Yes! The ones who can devour my Nine Netherworld Law, besides the old bug who has fallen, are the two among the Five Elements Dao Ancestors. The end point of the Great Way of Earth is the return of all things to the abyss and the magnanimous virtue carries all things. The end point of the Great Way of Water is the highest good like water, which embraces everything! I racked my brains, but I could only think of these two who could intercept and devour my Nine Netherworld Law, or it could be that person..." The purple-robed old man lowered his head and slowly spoke out the Taoist's guess.

"Let's forget about this matter. I can't risk the destruction of the entire Zhouyuan Immortal Realm organization. I know the consequences and still send my men to die. It is even more impossible for me to go there in person. If you don't dare to go, I dare not go either! You'd better keep this Xuanzhen Pill! I don't dare to take it! And you are contacting me now, do you really want to harm me? If those three people come! Wouldn't I be right under their noses now?" The white-haired old Taoist suddenly stood up and paced back and forth anxiously.

"Why are you panicking? You've been dawdling in Zhouyuan Immortal Realm without doing anything, and none of your subordinates are practicing the art of refining the spirit! You must not have been exposed! And before I contacted you, I had a brief conversation with a Daluo from the Heavenly Court headquarters, and I can confirm that those three people didn't come in person. Even if they were related to them, it would at most be a puppet symbol that contained a portion of the power of the original body, or an ordinary incarnation!"

The purple-robed old man suddenly glared and said in a low voice, then raised his head with a somewhat scary expression and said viciously:
"This is a serious matter! The Palace Master is out and has not returned yet. As the Deputy Palace Master, I must find out the truth no matter what. And who told you to go in person or send your men from the Samsara Palace? Have you forgotten that you are the Master of the Immortal Palace?"

The figure of the white-haired old man suddenly paused, raised his white eyebrows, and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Are you saying that under the banner of routine inspection, a team of immortal messengers were sent there openly? Just say it."

"The Heavenly Court and the Butian Sect do not attach much importance to the 28 formations that condense the immortal essence stones, and still want to continue to expand the scale? As the master of the Immortal Palace in charge of this immortal domain, you share the same virtues and aspirations with the Heavenly Court. It is reasonable to send a team of immortal envoys to inspect the Nanming Continent and the Cangxuan Sect, and then go to the sea area to inspect it. What do you think? This Xuanzhen Pill is no different from giving it to you, right?"

The purple-robed old man smiled slightly, then gave the sweet date and warned him, adding: "Daoyou has already joined our Samsara Palace. If you refuse such a small matter, you are not afraid of the Palace Master. Hmm?"

The white-haired Taoist priest began to weigh the pros and cons without any reservation. The hall fell into silence. After a long while, a heavy groan echoed in the hall.

"Okay! I'll help you this time, but this is the only time I'll interfere with Zhou Yuan's plans. I won't do it again!"

"Okay! This won't happen again! Brother Tihu! Hurry up! I'm waiting for your good news!"

Half an hour later, a distant bell rang suddenly in the palace at the highest point of the Immortal Palace. Soon afterwards, a group of immortals in golden robes flew out from a palace below on a chariot pulled by dragons.

At the same time, on the desert island, the muscular He Kang sat opposite Xuyang and King Jinlong, shaking his head like a rattle.

"Sir! This will never work! Since this person has the immortal talisman that can activate the Nine Netherworlds of Samsara, he must be a very important figure in the Samsara Palace. I have already seized the body of the Samsara Taoist, and then used the mask left by this traitor of the Cangxuan Sect to sneak into the Samsara Palace in this fairyland? Isn't this confessing to myself, telling them clearly that I have problems and am planning something bad? What's the difference between this and committing suicide?" (End of this chapter)
