Chapter 234 Pang Xiangxiang Tells the Truth
According to the normal procedure for the engagement of Taoist couples in a sect, the next step is to introduce qualifications and achievements, then look forward to future pursuits, and finally the two people make vows to each other.
After Yi Jiang and Han Xiaonu walked to the middle, before Elder Si Li could speak, Yi Jiang walked to the front of the leader of the Wilderness Sect, Qiao Sha, and the leader of the Luoshen Palace, Liu Yinyu, who were sitting at the top, and knelt down:
"Yue Jiang begs the two elders to make the decision for me."
Qiao Sha frowned. He really didn't like Yi Jiang's way of doing things without distinguishing between the main and the secondary, and regardless of the occasion.
He knew very well that the main thing today was not the engagement between Yijiang and Han Xiaonu, but something more important.
Otherwise, no matter how big his reputation was, Qiao Sha wouldn't be able to invite so many people. Not to mention him, even if Ji Xinting came, he might not be able to invite people like Yi Qianxing and Shi Qiqiu.
But today was also his chance to build momentum for himself, so he slowed down his tone:
"Yijiang, today is not only a big event for you and Han Xiaonu, but also a big event for our Wilderness Sect and Luoshen Palace. Please don't lose your manners in front of so many guests."
However, Liu Yinyu, the Palace Master of Luoshen Palace, said calmly:
"Just tell me if you have anything to do."
"Yes."
Yijiang responded and said:
"My father was plotted against by a scum in the Taoist world. I would like to ask the two seniors to help me and find that scum. Do not let him continue to cause trouble in the Taoist world and harm more people."
This was obviously not what Yijiang wanted to say, but only after he said this did he attract the attention of the two major sects.
Only then could he continue to say more important things, which was to support Yijiang to become the new leader of Yanyue Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Wan Dao was ambushed by someone?" Qiao Sha asked in surprise, and then looked at Hu Wuxin, the leader of the Taoist Sect Alliance, who was sitting in the guest seats.
Hu Wuxin quickly stood up and clasped his fists, then sighed and said:
"I only found out about this after I came to the Ascension Realm and reunited with Fellow Daoist Pang Xiangxiang. I never thought that after coming to the Ascension Realm, I would be separated from Brother Wan Dao. It's really a pity."
"What exactly happened?" Qiao Sha asked again.
Since his disciple mentioned this matter in front of so many guests from the sect, he wanted to confirm it.
Although it seems like he is forcing his master to abdicate, he was able to become the new leader of the Wilderness God Sect because his disciple provided the key strategy, and this disciple will be very useful to him in the future.
Hu Wuxin would naturally not be fooled by this. He sighed again:
"I will definitely investigate this matter when I return. Sigh, I am really incompetent as the leader of the alliance. I left the Taoist world twice, and twice something happened to the Taoist world."
Anyone who is not stupid can understand what Hu Wuxin meant by this. He is telling others that he is really competent as the leader of the Taoist sect alliance.
The two times he was not in the Taoist world, something happened in the Taoist world. When he was in the Taoist world, nothing happened in the Taoist world.
"Who knows the details of this matter?" Qiao Sha looked at some of the sect leaders who came to the Ascension World from the Taoist world.
No one stood up.
If Hu Wuxin said he didn't know the whole story, even a dog wouldn't believe it. Since the leader of the sect alliance took the initiative to say he didn't know, why should they come and make trouble?
"Elder Pang, please tell me something. You just came from the Taoist world." Qiao Sha's eyes fell on Pang Xiangxiang.
Yi Jiang also saluted Pang Xiangxiang from a distance. The news of the sect leader's murder was brought by Elder Pang Xiangxiang and Elder Gu Youchang.
Pang Xiangxiang stood up, hesitated and said:
"This is a long story, I will be brief..."
What Pang Xiangxiang didn't expect was that Liu Yinyu, the Palace Master of Luoshen Palace, who had been silent until then, took the initiative to say:
"You don't need to be brief, just be detailed and tell the truth."
"Yes."
Pang Xiangxiang responded and then slowly said:
“This matter started when some sects in the Taoist world went to the mortal world to recruit disciples. Ding Huan had no qualifications, so he was not favored by the sect.
However, Ding Huan was determined to go to the Taoist world. He found the Jin family in Daye City and became Guan Yu's chef..."
"Who is Guan Xi?" Liu Yinyu asked again.
Pang Xiangxiang hesitated for a moment and then spoke:
"Guan Xi is the daughter of the Jin family. She likes delicious food, so when she went to the Taoist world, she specially found a chef to follow her."
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Yijiang's forehead, and he wished he could rush down and cover Pang Xiangxiang's mouth immediately.
Just say what you want to say. Why talk about these useless things?
But now his master Qiao Sha and the Palace Master of Luoshen Palace asked Pang Xiangxiang to speak more carefully, and he was helpless.
"Hehe, this Guan Xi, a disciple who hasn't even entered the sect, knows how to enjoy herself. Tell me, what is her background and how can she have such ability?" Liu Yinyu chuckled.
Pang Xiangxiang didn't dare to look up at Yijiang:
"Guan Xi is the wife of the Young Master of my Yanyue Sect, so she has some privileges..."
Liu Yinyu's eyes fell on Yijiang:
"You are quite courageous. You already have the Young Master's wife, but you still want to get engaged to my disciple Han Xiaonu?"
"Senior, there are some misunderstandings about this matter. Guan Xi has already fled from Yanyue Sect..."
Yijiang panicked. He hated Pang Xiangxiang for not being able to lie, but he had no choice but to come out and explain.
Liu Yinyu ignored Yi Jiang and said to Pang Xiangxiang: "You continue talking. Xiaonu, come and sit next to the master." "Yes." Han Xiaonu, who had been standing in the middle of the hall without speaking, responded quickly, then came and sat down beside Liu Yinyu, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yijiang was plain-looking and her cultivation was only at the level of Qi training. Why should she marry Yijiang? She only reluctantly agreed because her master said that this was one of the ways out for Luoshen Palace.
Pang Xiangxiang continued:
“Ding Huan is indeed a talented person. When major sects entered the Great Valley, they were basically wiped out or only a few people escaped from danger.
But he was able to lead the people of Yanyue Sect across the Dahe Gorge safely..."
"Aunt Pang, half of the people in Yanyue Sect died, and Elder Qu of Shuanghun Sect was also killed by him."
Yi Jiang saw that Pang Xiangxiang didn't seem to have any intention of putting the blame on Ding Huan, so he quickly took the initiative to remind her.
Pang Xiangxiang seemed to have no idea what Yijiang meant:
"The reason why half of the Yanyue Sect died is because the dead half did not listen to Elder Gu and Ding Huan and insisted on following Deacon Qiong."
"Is that so?" Qiao Sha's face didn't look very good now, but he still looked at Gu Youchang.
Gu Youchang quickly stood up and saluted:
"Yes, that's right. If it weren't for Ding Huan, I, Gu Youchang, would have been dead standing here."
Not to mention that Yi Wandao was killed, even if Yi Wandao was standing here, Gu Youchang would not go against his conscience and say bad things about Ding Huan.
"It seems that you are a capable mortal. Please continue." Qiao Sha said and motioned Pang Xiangxiang to continue.
Pang Xiangxiang then told everyone how Ding Huan led everyone out of the Dahe Canyon, and then led everyone out of the Lost Swamp. In the end, they escaped because they were worried about being ambushed by Deacon Qiong because of a Ningxing Bamboo.
Liu Yinyu snorted coldly:
"The Yanyue Sect is really full of scum. Ding Huan did save the life of Deacon Qiong, but Deacon Qiong didn't think of repaying his kindness. Instead, he chased after the benefactor for a piece of Ningxing Bamboo that he was unwilling to give. How is he any different from a beast?"
Pang Xiangxiang continued:
"After Ding Huan escaped, more than a year later, he was found by Liu Yinzhu, the elder of Zixia Valley..."
"Wait..." Liu Yinyu interrupted Pang Xiangxiang:
"You said the elder of Zixia Valley is called Liu Yinzhu? Do you have a portrait?"
Pang Xiangxiang quickly said:
"Yes, it was Elder Liu Yinzhu. As she spoke, she had already drawn a portrait of a woman in the void."
Pang Xiangxiang’s strength was limited, and the portrait of the woman was very blurry and disappeared after a while.
But when Liu Yinyu saw this portrait, her fingers trembled slightly, but she quickly recovered and said:
"Her name is similar to mine. Please continue."
After Pang Xiangxiang realized that Guan Yu was helped by Ding Huan, she decided not to lean towards Yan Yue Sect:
"Elder Liu Yinzhu invited Ding Huan to go to Zixia Valley..."
Not only did she tell about Ding Huan's residence in Xifeng City and the formulation of laws, she also told about the fierce battle between Jiuyin Sect and Zixia Valley, in which both sides suffered heavy losses.
When Zixia Valley was already destroyed, Ding Huan and Elder Liu Yinzhu survived by chance and then established a new sect, the Blue Star Sect.
At this time, the leader of the Shuanghun Sect, Tan Yanxiao, the leader of the Yanyue Sect, Yi Wandao, and the leader of the Wanshou Sect, Hong Tiao, joined forces with a dozen True Dan cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators to besiege the Blue Star Sect.
As a result, these people broke into the Blue Star Sect's protective formation and were killed.
Not only that, the dead man was also nailed outside the sect by the Blue Star Sect's leader Ding Huan.
"He is a ruthless character."
Upon hearing this, a sect leader from the Ascension Realm chuckled and said something.
Liu Yinyu, the Palace Master of Luoshen Palace, stared at Yijiang coldly:
"You, the leader of the Yanyue Sect, led people to attack another sect and broke the sect's protective formation. They killed you, the leader of the Yanyue Sect. What grievances do you have?
Are you dissatisfied with the fact that they failed to defeat your Yanyue Sect, so you just want to destroy it?"
Hearing this, Qiao Sha's face turned unhappy. This was not giving him, the leader of the Wilderness God Sect, any face at all.
He also knew what Liu Yinyu meant. After the marriage failed, Luoshen Palace would definitely not be able to count on him, Huangshen Sect, so he simply didn't even give him face. Women are really practical.
Yijiang's face turned purple from holding back:
"Senior Liu, Ding Huan has occupied Zixia Valley and plotted against my father. If we ignore this evil man, the cultivation world will be in chaos."
The disdain in Liu Yinyu's eyes became even worse:
"Occupy Zixia Valley? Pang Xiangxiang just said it very clearly, Zixia Valley has been destroyed.
Moreover, when Ding Huan founded the Blue Star Sect, Zixia Valley's elder Liu Yinzhu was also there. How does this relate to occupation?
I wonder if someone covets Zixia Valley and feels unfair that it was acquired by an ant from the mortal world, so they want to use this as an excuse to take back Zixia Valley, right?"
