Immortal Mansion Royal Beast

The colors of the mountain forest on winter nights are slightly darker under the dim cover of the night. There are not many stars today and the bright moon is hidden, but it is a good sky scene for killing people and burying corpses.

After the banquet, it was already dark. Fang Qingyuan was planning to stay at Liu's house for one night, but who could have expected that he would now be trying to escape in the wilderness.

Fang Qingyuan sat on Lao Bai's shoulder and let Lao Bai run. His attention was not on the pursuers behind him at the moment, but on the still unconscious Huo Xiaolan in front of him, which gave him a headache.

It was rare for Huo Xiaolan, a mortal, to survive the battle between monks. After Fang Qingyuan fed her the elixir issued by the sect, he could barely survive.

However, if Huo Xiaolan continues to be bumpy like this, she will probably die before reaching Tianmen Mountain.

Huo Xiaolan was an important witness in the Liu family's baby theft case, so we couldn't let her die like this.

When it comes to infant theft, Fang Qingyuan cannot tolerate being careless. If there is anything in this world that offends Dazhou Academy's taboos the most, infant theft is definitely among the top three.

The patriarchal system of Da Zhou Academy stipulates that each sect and cultivator family has various rights for the mortals in its territory.

One of them is that if a citizen of a sect appears to have a native spiritual root and can become a monk, then the sect he belongs to will have the sole and inalienable ownership of him.

For example, take the Liu family of Minshan. Fang Qingyuan has read the information left by the Wei family, which states that there are tens of thousands of mortals who follow the Liu family.

These tens of thousands of people thrive under the protection of the Liu family. If a child born to one of the couples happens to be able to practice Buddhism, then this child will automatically become a reserve monk of the Liu family.

Sects or families in other realms are not allowed to use any means to get this child into their own family, otherwise it will violate the system of Dazhou Academy.

Once this kind of behavior is exposed, the consequences will be extremely serious, ranging from the leader of the culprit being executed to the worst case, the entire sect will be disbanded.

In the past, there were cases where the Yuanying Sect was executed for stealing babies, and the sect was forced to disband.

With such a heavy price, it stands to reason that no one would do it. However, the cases of infant thefts continue to be banned. Every few years, Dazhou Academy will find out a batch and make it known to the world to alert the world.

It was precisely because of the serious consequences that when Huo Xiaolan uttered the word 'baby stealing', Fang Qingyuan immediately asked Lao Bai for help.

The fact was just as Fang Qingyuan expected. Liu Siwu, who had been indifferent before, also brazenly attacked Fang Qingyuan after hearing the word 'baby stealing', without caring at all that Fang Qingyuan was still a disciple of Yushou Mountain.

There's just one thing that Fang Qingyuan still can't figure out. The reason why the sect steals babies is for the continuation of the sect, and the Liu family is just a family of monks. Why does it also want to steal babies?

In addition to the eight super sects such as Yushoushan and Qiyun Sect, other sects in this world, whether they are small sects with only foundation building or large sects with Yuanying monks, cannot avoid one core problem, that is The continuation of the sect.

Because of the regulations of the Great Zhou Academy, for a newly established sect, starting from the first head, the three generations of heads are protected by the Great Zhou Academy, and other sects are not allowed to attack. From then on, life and death depend on fate.

It is not a peaceful undertaking for cultivators to compete with heaven and earth for longevity. Fights are inevitable, and attacks are also common.

Fortunately for large sects, Yuanying monks can live for 1,500 years, and three generations of heads can live a stable life for at least 2,000 years.

The most fearful thing is that the first leader was a golden elixir, and the second leader became a foundation builder. As for the third leader, he didn't even have a foundation builder. The one with the highest combat power in the entire sect was actually just a person. Practice Qi.

This situation is by no means uncommon. In many sects, in the end, when the third generation leader dies, the entire sect will be buried with him.

At this time, if you are the second-generation leader and see that there is no one in your sect who can be cultivated, and there happens to be a newly born genius in another territory, the kind of person who has the potential for a golden elixir, wouldn't you be moved?

So, the baby theft case happened.

But why did the Liu family steal babies?

Which family's baby was stolen? How many more were stolen? Is Liu Siwu the mastermind, or a minor role? What role did the relocated Wei family play in this?

Many questions flooded Fang Qingyuan's mind, making him frown. Looking at Huo Xiaolan, who was getting paler, Fang Qingyuan finally said:

"Old Bai, find a place to stop and take a moment."

After hearing Fang Qingyuan's order, Lao Bai turned around and ran towards the mountains nearby.

Liu Siwu controlled the magic sword and flew at the front. He was very calm on the surface and did not feel angry at all because he was chasing Fang Qingyuan.

Now he himself doesn't know how he feels now. Regret?

No, it's more of a regret. It's a pity that I can't see the day when the Liu family becomes a foundation-building family.

When Huo Xiaolan shouted those two words, everything was irreversible. Now she was chasing the disciple from Yushou Mountain, relying more on instinct.

How did you end up in this situation?

Liu Siwu's thoughts began to diverge involuntarily, recalling that night ten years ago, the fire, the crying, the children, and the endless escape.

The situation that day was so similar to now, except that the people who were running for their lives became the ones who were chasing and killing them.

Unknowingly, Liu Siwu's sword light slowed down. Seeing this, Liu Tongshu behind him hesitated, mustered up the courage to step forward and asked:

"Uncle Siwu, is what Huo Xiaolan said true? Are you really a thief?"

Before Liu Tongshu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Siwu. He stared at Liu Tongshu and asked:

"What was your cultivation level ten years ago?"

Liu Tongshu was confused as to why he was asking about this now, but when the patriarch spoke, he had no choice but to reply:

"Seventh level of Qi refining."

"Ten years have passed. From the seventh level of Qi training to the eighth level, there is still no hope of breaking through the ninth level of Qi training and looking for opportunities to build foundations. Tongshu, you have disappointed me so much."

Liu Tongshu was the father of three children. When he heard this, his face turned red. He still looked like a child who had done something wrong. He said to Liu Siwu:

"My colleague is so stupid that I let you down."

However, Liu Siwu shook his head and recalled:

"Your qualifications are not dull. You are almost a high-grade spiritual root. When I asked you to go to the Wei family sect or the Tianshan Academy, you refused. You said that you wanted to study the talismans of our Liu family and create your own. A thoroughfare.

At that time, we old men were reluctant to give such a good seedling to other sects, so we relented and kept you. But now it seems that we chose the wrong path after all.

If you were in the Beast Control Sect, you wouldn't be in the late stage of Qi training. One card would last more than ten years. "

Liu Siwu became chatty. On the way to chase Fang Qingyuan, he began to talk about the past. As Liu Siwu's sword light became slower and slower, the children of the Liu family were a little at a loss.

Suddenly, Liu Siwu seemed to have come back to his senses. He was startled, and then looked around. After looking at the young Liu monks in front of him, he flew towards Minshan without saying a word.

After Liu Siwu flew out, the remaining monks looked at Liu Tongshu, and Liu Tongshu sighed and said to the only late-stage Qi refining monk among them:

"Tongwen, just the two of us brothers can go, let the other juniors go back."

Liu Tongwen nodded at Liu Tongshu's invitation. After the two drove away the other juniors, they flew into the mountain forest on a winter night with sword light.
