Three months later, Tianyi Shenzong.

The ice and snow melted in early spring, and the wind in early spring still carried the chill of winter, bypassing the mountains and crossing the water, rolling up layers of ripples on the lake.

Shen Li was leaning on a locust tree by the water bank, with one leg bent, and half of the black hem hanging down to move with the wind.Warmed by the afternoon sun, Shen Li was sleeping peacefully with his hands behind his head.

Suddenly, a clear male voice broke the silence: "Master? Mr. A Li?!"

A young man in his early twenties came hurriedly from a distance, stood under the tree and looked around, tilted his head in doubt, and shouted again: "Ah——"

"Ah what..." A lazy voice sounded above his head, Shen Li yawned, and tilted his head to look at the person under the tree, "What's the matter?"

"Young Master is here." The young man raised his head and bowed to Shen Li, with a smile in his eyes, "The suzerain sent someone to pass the message, saying that the suzerain has something to discuss with the young master, please go to the side hall to talk about it."

"Sovereign?" Shen Li narrowed his eyes, "What did he ask me for?"

"How would I know that?" The young man's name was Qiao Yun, with a handsome face, and he was an outer disciple of the Tianyi Sect.Since Shen Li came here, she has been taking care of his daily life.

Qiao Yun had a delicate mind and acted appropriately, but no matter how big or small the suzerain summoned, he would just run errands and send messages, so naturally he would not know.

Shen Li originally just asked casually and didn't take it seriously.He turned over and got off the tree, and was about to walk forward, when he remembered something: "By the way, Xiao Qiao..."

"Sir, tell me."

Shen Li hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is there any news from the Guardian?"

Qiao Yun: "No. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you, and I'll tell you as soon as I have any news."

This is naturally Ji Yun's news.

Three months ago, Ji Yun stole Shen Li's bronze mirror, and since then he has lost track.Whether Wen Zhifeng sent Tianyi Shenzong disciples to investigate secretly, or Shen Li used spells to track him down, there was no trace of that person.

It was as if he had disappeared from this world.

Shen Li subconsciously raised his hand and touched the red rope hanging around his neck.

The end of the red string is hidden in the complicated and layered collar, only half of the bright red color is exposed.Shen Li gathered his collar and hid it cleanly.

Qiao Yun didn't notice that Shen Li was distracted, and followed behind Shen Li and said: "By the way, my lord, the guardian just returned to the sect this morning. If you are worried, you can go and ask in person."

Shen Li paused: "The protector has returned to the sect?"

"Yeah, I went to the suzerain after I came back. I didn't see anyone. I don't know if I'm still here at the moment. The guardians have been running around looking for the spiritual veins these days. Now that the suzerain is looking for you, it must be related to the spiritual veins, right?"

After hearing this, Shen Li shook his head with a smile, and walked forward again: "What are you thinking, I'm just a dawdler, how can such a good thing go to me?"

"Go, go, fuck you!" Before Shen Li could step into the palace garden of the side hall, he heard an angry voice coming from the hall.

He paused and walked in.

The door of the side hall was wide open, and as soon as Shen Li walked to the door, he saw a figure rushing towards him from inside the hall: "Ahhh—"

Shen Li took half a step back without even thinking about it, and the figure fell straight at his feet, and fell on his back.

Shen Li bowed his head and said with a smile: "Why does the young master need such a big gift?"

The supreme holy son of Tianyi Shenzong, the most beloved only son of the all-powerful Sect Master Bai, is now lying faceless in front of Shen Li, falling so badly that he can't even get up.

Bai Jingxing raised his head, with a mournful face: "You're still laughing, you don't even know how to help me!"

Shen Li smiled and pulled him up, lowered his voice and said: "The suzerain fell you, how dare I help you. If you turn around and make him unhappy, what if I fell out together?"

Bai Jingxing really wanted to cry now, but before he could squeeze out tears, another voice came from the hall: "Get out of here!"

Bai Jingxing trembled violently, and followed Shen Li into the door.

Bai Wuchen, the lord of the Tianyi Divine Sect, sat on the high platform, his anger still on his face.Most cultivators can't tell their age. Although Bai Wuchen has been in charge of the sect for many years and is a father, he still looks only [-] years old. His white hair is tied back casually, handsome and handsome, with an extraordinary bearing.

Shen Li bowed to him politely: "I have seen the suzerain."

Bai Jingxing poked his head out from behind Shen Li: "...Father, father."

Bai Wuchen's face darkened, before he could start cursing, Shen Li took the lead and said, "I don't know why the suzerain wants me?"

Hearing his words, Bai Wuchen seemed to have just remembered something serious, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, Jing Xing will go down first, I will have a chat with Mr. A Li."

"I'm not leaving!" Perhaps Shen Li's arrival gave Bai Jingxing some courage, he grabbed Shen Li's sleeve from behind, and whispered to his father, "I am the Holy Son of Shenzong, why should you avoid me? Just go!"

"I said no, get out!"

With a bang, the young master of Tianyi Shenzong was swept out of the door by a gust of wind called by his father, this time even the door of the side hall was closed together.

Bai Jingxing's wailing sound like killing a pig was blocked outside the door, Shen Li couldn't laugh or cry: "What's wrong with Jing Xing, where is he going?"

Bai Wuchen: "Two days ago, Yumen, the head of the world's number one immortal sect, issued a post saying that a spiritual vein with extremely strong spiritual power was found in a swamp in the southwest. The spiritual vein was not under the jurisdiction of any sect, so the long The Yu Clan intends to call together the sects of the world, and all the sects will send experts to go and explore together."

Shen Li frowned: "Why does the spirit vein need all the immortal sects to come forward together?"

"It is said that it is a spiritual spring, hidden in a swamp forest. The swamp forest is poisonous and miasma, and there is a very strong restriction near the spiritual spring. So far, Changyumen has sent many disciples to enter, but...all of them have No return."

"Such a wicked sect?" Shen Li thought for a moment, and then he understood, "The suzerain came to me for this reason?"

"Yes." Bai Wuchen didn't hide anything, "I sent Zhifeng to investigate earlier, and it proved that what Chang Yumen said was true. Moreover, there should be a lot of good things in that Lingquan. What Zhifeng meant Yes, it's worth checking out for yourself."

Shen Li's eyebrows jumped.

Wen Zhifeng is responsible for helping Tianyi Shenzong search for the location of the spiritual veins, but most of the time, it is not his turn to personally snatch the spiritual veins.

The only time he personally took action was the bronze mirror that he snatched from Chunguilou last time.But even if it was that thing, after Chunguilou seized it first, he still decisively ordered his subordinates to stop.

Probably because of his background in the Guixu Sword Sect, Wen Zhifeng never wanted the Tianyi Shenzong and Xianzong to have too much trouble.But this time, he clearly knew that once the Tianyi Shenzong sent someone to come forward, there would be friction with the Righteous Immortal Sect.

What is there in the spiritual spring that makes Wen Zhifeng say something worth exploring in person under such circumstances?

Will it be related to what he is looking for?

"Young master, Mr. A Li?" Bai Wuchen's figure pulled Shen Li out of his thoughts, "...Can Mr. A Li make this trip for me?"

Shen Li lowered his eyes and replied: "There are a lot of talents in the faction, but I am just an unknown person who can stay in the faction to cultivate because of being taken in by the suzerain and the young master. Such a big event... I am afraid that I will not be able to take this responsibility."

Bai Wuchen shook his head: "There is no one else here, so there is no need for Mr. A Li."

"The restriction around the spirit vein is very capable of being broken by anyone, not to mention the danger inside that is unknown to outsiders. If anyone in the Tianyi Divine Sect can enter the spirit vein and then retreat, I am afraid that only the young master can do it."

Bai Wuchen stood up and walked in front of the two of them: "In the battle of Chunguilou earlier, Mr. A Li saved my son and the Dharma protector, and I am extremely grateful. During the past few months, you have stayed in Tianyi Shenzong, this seat has also followed the rules of your son. request, to help the young master conceal his advanced cultivation and identity."

"...If there is no one in the faction this time, I would not have said this to the young master." Bai Wuchen looked earnest, without any clue, "I wonder if the young master is willing to help me with this?"

Shen Li was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "The suzerain is serious, since that's the case... I'll just run for you."

Bai Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief, he took out a token from his bosom, and handed it to Shen Li: "I will seal you as the envoy of the Tianyi Sect, and send a group of disciples for you to send. This will take away the spirit Pulse is the best, if you can't, don't force it."

Shen Li looked at the black token engraved with the embossed totem of Tianyi Shenzong, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "Wen Zhifeng wanted me to go?"

Bai Wuchen: "Yes."

Shen Li lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then took the token: "Okay, this subordinate obeys."

Shen Li didn't delay, and the next day, with a team sent to him by Bai Wuchen, he rushed towards the location of the spiritual spring.

The Lingquan is hidden in the depths of a misty swamp, and Shen Li rides a fairy chariot in the air, and when he arrives at a small border town called Yunyan City outside the misty swamp, it is already evening.

There were not many people in this small southwestern border town, but because of the letter issued by Changyu Gate, there are many monks coming and going these days.Those sent by the Immortal Sect, those who watched the excitement, those who wanted to sneakily pick up the leaks from the spiritual veins, came and went, and directly crowded this small town to overcrowding, even the gate of the city was full of carriages.

Shen Li frowned slightly after listening to his subordinate's report.

This was somewhat beyond his expectations.Their trip was a secret operation, and the news of Tianyi Shenzong's coming to the southwest was not leaked, and he didn't want to conflict with the righteous way before entering the misty swamp.

Shen Li thought for a moment, then ordered: "Find two people to come in with me to have a look, and the rest stay outside the city and wait."

"Yes." The man answered, turned his head and left.

Shen Li jumped out of the carriage and hammered his shoulders that were sore from sitting in the carriage. Someone wrapped him in a cloak from behind: "It's cold at night, young master, be careful."

He turned his head, and Qiao Yun was holding a cup of hot tea, looking at Shen Li worriedly.

Shen Li was a little dumbfounded.

It can't help but make people suspicious, Shen Li has always pretended not to know martial arts in Tianyi Shenzong, and it was all because of bribing the young master that he was able to enter the sect through the back door to eat and drink for free.

Qiao Yun was two years older than he is now, and after being sent to take care of his daily life, for some reason, he suddenly became overwhelmed with maternal instincts, and directly treated him as a sick and weak boy who couldn't lift his shoulders or hands, and took care of him meticulously.

This time when Shen Li was sent out to perform a mission, Qiao Yun, who has always been good-natured, was choked up for a while. If Shen Li hadn't stopped him, he might have wanted to make a fuss directly to Bai Wuchen to make him withdraw his life.

There was no other way, Shen Li had no choice but to bring him along.

Shen Li took a sip of the tea in his hand, and the two disciples who were singled out to enter the city with him had also come to him.

"My lord..." Qiao Yun looked at Shen Li worriedly, his delicate face was full of worry, he looked like a melancholy beauty.

Needless to say, Shen Li knew that this person must be worried that he would faint on the spot if he acted alone at this moment after running around all day.

Shen Li couldn't see the beauty like this, sighed, and said helplessly: "Xiao Qiao, go with me."

The gloom in Qiao Yun's eyes disappeared, and he said with a smile, "Thank you, my lord."

The group entered the city.

The inside of the city is not much better than the outside of the city, and the major inns are full of monks who want to enter the mountain.Coming and going on the street were all monks wearing all kinds of magic weapons, as if they were not worthy to explore the spiritual veins unless they piled a few valuables on themselves.

In comparison, Shen Li and his group were dressed in a very ordinary way, looking no different from passing business travelers.

"Both of you go to the inns in front and ask if there are any vacancies, Xiao Qiao and me." Shen Li sent away two subordinates, and brought Qiao Yun into an inn.

The inns in the small border towns are not inferior to those rich places. The furnishings in the lobby of the inn are simple, with several rows of square tables lined up, full of people.

Qiao Yun escorted Shen Li inside like a chicken cub, found an empty space for Shen Li to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea graciously: "My lord, rest here for a while, I'll ask."

Shen Li was too lazy to be lazy, and readily agreed: "All right, all right, you go."

Qiao Yun turned around and walked towards the counter, while Shen Li was leisurely leaning on the table drinking tea.

Suddenly, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and he froze immediately.

Shen Li turned his head suddenly, only to see a plain white hem passing by at the corner of the second floor of the inn.

Plain white clothes...

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

Shen Xin skipped a beat, and subconsciously stroked his collar.

Under the collar, a round object arched the clothes in a small arc, which could not be discerned unless one looked carefully.

Shen Li didn't delay for too long, it seemed that he just raised his hand casually, then quietly got up and followed the second floor.

The inn in Xiaocheng had never entertained so many people, and it was a mess upstairs and downstairs.Shen Li calmly followed through the crowd and walked around the corner, only to see the white figure flickering at the end of the corridor before disappearing.

There were people coming and going in the corridor, Shen Li stepped forward suspiciously, the door beside him suddenly opened, a hand stretched out from inside the door, and dragged him in.

Shen Li felt his back go cold, and when he came back to his senses, he was pushed against the door, and his mouth was covered with cool palms.

Shen Xin jumped desperately, his eyes slowly moved up along the plain white clothes of the other party.

...not the face he knew.
