Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Immortal Ji laughed heartily, then bowed to Fire Crow Daoist and said, "Ji Dengyun of the Purple Cloud Sect greets Daoist Yuan. It's true that seeing is believing. Daoist's demeanor is truly admirable!"

Fire Crow Daoist also laughed heartily, returned the greeting, and said, "Yuan Baiyan of the Xuan Tian Sect greets Daoist Ji! I've long admired your name. It's an honor to meet you today!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ji Dengyun pointed to Real Person Huo beside him and said apologetically, "Real Person Huo was also worried about the younger generation, so he was a little anxious and had no intention of offending you."

Fire Crow Daoist looked at the black-robed Daoist and smiled, "It's alright. May I ask who is Real Person Huo's junior? I hope Yuan has brought him back safely!"

At this time, several people walked out from among the Core Formation and Foundation Establishment cultivators who were standing aside with their heads bowed, not daring to breathe loudly. They all saluted Real Person Huo, and the leader said in a deep voice, "Disciple Yao Zhanyi greets Master."

Real Person Huo waved his hand, cupped his fist to Fire Crow Daoist and said, "Huo Linyin of the Yin Xiang Sect greets Real Person Yuan. Thank you, Real Person Yuan, for escorting us all the way and protecting my sect's disciples."

Fire Crow Daoist was full of doubts, but he smiled and said, "So it's Daoist Yao's elder. I'm glad to meet you! Daoist Yao's cultivation is profound and he acts cautiously. Even without the old Daoist's escort, he should be able to arrive at First City safely."

Ji Dengyun explained from the side, "I heard that several disciples of the Yin Xiang Sect are still missing in the mountains. Daoist Huo is also anxious to find out the situation, so he came here with Ji to ask Daoist Yuan for advice."

Fire Crow Daoist suddenly understood, knowing that there must be someone quite important to Huo Linyin among the missing disciples. He immediately said regretfully, "The incident happened suddenly. Yuan was fighting the White Bear King and was not in the flying boat. I did not protect you well. Please forgive me, Daoist Huo."

A boat with more than three hundred people, only twenty or so came back. To call it "not protecting them well" was not just an understatement, it was simply ridiculous. However, no one would argue about it at this time.

Huo Linyin sighed and said with a slightly lonely expression, "In the current situation, sending a flying boat across the mountains is already a risky move. Since we boarded the flying boat, we must accept our fate. Huo just wants to know what happened, so I can understand!"

The five words "so I can understand" were spoken in a calm tone, but seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Fire Crow Daoist glanced at him and saw that this person's eyes were bright, with a hint of expectation.

He turned his mind and guessed that this person was not from the Ten Great Sects and might not know some secret matters, so he wanted to get some information from him.

Seeing that Li Fengyu and Ji Dengyun were both looking at him, he said, "There are many doubts about this matter. The flying boat was attacked by the White Bear King in the middle of the journey, so the old Daoist went out of the boat to fight. At that time, there were also many bird demons, so the old Daoist asked the flying boat to escape first and wait in a safe place. Unexpectedly, after the old Daoist got rid of the White Bear King and wanted to contact the younger generation in the boat, he could no longer contact them."

He turned to Zhang Yuanjing and said, "Yuanjing, tell us what happened next." Then he explained to the three people, "This is a Yuan-generation cultivator of my Xuan Tian Sect. He was always in the boat at that time."

Zhang Yuanjing first saluted the three Real Persons, and then said unhurriedly, "At that time, this junior was waiting for Real Person Yuan's news, but after a long time, I still didn't receive Real Person's voice transmission, which was very strange. This junior asked Hao Sanding, the chief manager of Tiannan City Lord's Mansion who was in charge of the flying boat, to stop the boat, but this person said with certainty that stopping the boat was very dangerous, and many Core Formation Daoists in the boat at that time also supported his proposal. This junior had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

"Unexpectedly, the flying boat was getting faster and faster, heading straight for Bishishan. Hao Sanding said that the flying boat was not afraid of the mountain environment and could take the opportunity to deceive the intercepting demons. This junior thought that his words were untrue and harbored evil intentions, and was about to forcibly stop the flying boat when the Black Crow King suddenly appeared and shot down the flying boat. In order to protect his own safety, Hao Sanding forcibly drove the rear compartment of the flying boat to escape, leaving hundreds of Daoists in the flying boat in the encirclement of the demons. The Daoists had no choice but to disperse and break through, resulting in heavy losses! All the surviving Daoists here know about this matter."

Huo Linyin immediately looked at Yao Zhanyi, and Yao Zhanyi quickly nodded and said, "It is indeed as Daoist Zhang said, the flying boat broke apart, and the Daoists in the boat were exposed to the attack of thousands of flying birds. I'm afraid that no more than half of those who can break through will survive, and as for those who survived, except for the twenty or so of us, there will be almost no one left!"

Ji Dengyun's expression was a little gloomy, and he said to Lin Yu in the crowd, "Junior Nephew Lin, what was the situation at that time? Please tell me in detail!"

Lin Yu took half a step forward, pondered for a moment, and began to narrate what happened at that time. What he said was mostly the same as Zhang Yuanjing, but there were also differences. For example, after Fire Crow Daoist left the flying boat, it was Zhang Yuanjing who gave the order to Hao Sanding to drive the flying boat away first. Also, after the flying boat escaped from danger, Zhang Yuanjing asked to stop the boat, but Hao Sanding wanted to check the voice transmission jade to confirm whether it was Fire Crow Daoist's order, but Zhang Yuanjing did not take it out. Furthermore, when the Black Crow King attacked the boat, it was Zhang Yuanjing who ordered Hao Sanding to stop the flying boat, causing confrontation and chaos in the boat.

These differences are actually just changes in the way of narration and the emphasis on content, but anyone with discernment can tell the hidden meaning.

Zhang Yuanjing did not refute, but just smiled coldly. The past is the past, and the truth only exists in the mouths of those who experienced it. As for which one is true and which one is false, the criterion for judgment is not the past facts, but whose fist is bigger.

Li Fengyu had been standing aside with a gloomy face, neither asking questions nor calling Qu Chongyi out to narrate the flying boat experience. His eyes sometimes looked at the distant mountains, and sometimes flickered on Ji Dengyun.

After listening to the narration of several people, Ji Dengyun laughed and said, "After the three of them have finished speaking, the matter is very clear. The culprit is Hao Sanding. I wonder where this person is now?"

Fire Crow Daoist smiled and said, "This person was caught by the old Daoist. Most of the time, he was fed the Turtle Breath Pill and thrown into the spirit beast bag. Do you want to question him, Daoist?"

Ji Dengyun quickly waved his hand, "Ji will not ask. Such a big event involves the Hall of Affairs, how can Ji be qualified to interfere."

The banner he came here under was to investigate the destruction of the flying boat, but now he is afraid of avoiding it, and his attitude before and after can be said to be very different.

Fire Crow Daoist asked Huo Linyin again, "Daoist Huo, do you want to question Hao Sanding?"

Huo Linyin hesitated obviously, but quickly and decisively refused, "Real Person Ji will not ask, and Huo is naturally not qualified!"

"Okay, after coming here, I have figured out the matter." Ji Dengyun said with a smile, "I will not disturb Daoist Yuan and Daoist Li's conversation. Daoist Huo, let's take our juniors back to Immortal City!"

Huo Linyin hurriedly said, "That's right."

The two called their respective juniors and said goodbye to Fire Crow Daoist and Li Fengyu.

Ji Dengyun suddenly said, "Daoist Yuan, the situation in the Hengduan Mountains is complicated now, and the demons are growing stronger. We humans must not have internal strife. Hao Sanding must be dealt with carefully!"
