Lu Changan didn't go to Huang Tankong just for a fight.

Rather, it is to ensure that this hidden danger is brought under control and allowed to return to the west "smoothly".

The next night.

No one discovered that the figure in Lu Changan's courtyard was just a talisman of illusion.

Lu Changan had greeted Li Erqing in advance and no one came to disturb his "retreat".

If you want to find Huang Tan Kong, there is a simple and crude method.

The major checkpoints leading to the Mu family from the surrounding area are suitable for lying in wait and ambush, and searching everywhere.

Out of instinctive caution, Lu Changan did not immediately search outside. Instead, he investigated from the inside out, first around Feiyue Lake.

Avoid dark situations under lights.

After checking this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"This old man actually touched the edge of Feiyue Lake!"

Two nights later, Lu Changan noticed a faint fluctuation of consciousness near the mine a hundred miles away from Feiyue Villa.

He disguised himself as a monk from the Mu family who was in the middle stage of Qi refining, and only moved at night, using the Evergreen Kung Fu to reduce his sense of presence.

It's a coincidence.

More than ten years ago, that young master Huang died near this mine.

At that time, this mine was completely slaughtered by the Huang family monks, and it did not have much mineral production, so it was simply closed down later.

A rocky hill a few miles away from the mine.

Lu Changan sat in the crack of the stone, closed his eyes, and merged his mind with the white-bearded old man in the second generation of the Nine-Seal Monument, and his consciousness and senses increased several times.

The soul at the peak of the second generation of elixir formation is too strong!

Lu Changan could only fuse a small part, and the sea of ​​consciousness would feel like it was being torn apart if it expanded to the extreme.

His consciousness easily passed through the rock wall of the mine and found his target in an abandoned firewood room.

It was a rickety old man in ragged clothes, looking like a mummy, with all his white hair falling off.

In the sunken eye sockets, a faint light appeared, like a candle in the wind.

"Ahem..."

Huang Tankong coughed violently, blood dried up at the corners of his mouth, and a soundproof barrier was set up around him.

"Huang Tankong dared to lurk in Feiyue Lake alone. It should be expected that Li Erqing would have difficulty discovering him. Li Erqing has a timid character and does not dare to leave the family."

Lu Changan thought to himself.

Even though Huang Tankong's body is failing and aging, as he is in the middle stage of foundation building, his realm's advantages lie there.

However, in his current state, he could not threaten the Mu family who had a large formation to protect the clan.

You can only play dirty.

Lu Changan estimated that his first target was himself.

There is no chance to kill Li Erqing.

Keeping Li Erqing, an untalented surname, to build the foundation can also divide the Mu family.

…

It will be easy once you find the location, so there is no need for Lu Changan to rush into action.

This old guy is getting weaker every day.

Lu Changan left the rock rat behind to keep an eye on this rocky hill.

It is several miles away, and the spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of foundation building cannot be scanned here. Huang Tankong's spiritual consciousness is also weak and cannot be used frequently.

Ground rock rats can also hide underground, out of sight.

Before dawn, Lu Changan sneaked back to the lakeside courtyard of Feiyue Villa.

"Huang Tankong probably didn't know about Huang Changling's death, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed so patiently."

Lu Changan analyzed.

Huang Changling's soul tablet is placed in the important place of the family ancestral hall. Huang Tankong went deep into the enemy's territory alone and received no news.

After several days of observation.

Lu Changan discovered that Huang Tankong controlled a bird to serve as his eyes and ears.

This bird is called "Yanzhiniao" and has a peak level of cultivation.

This bird is small in size and weak in strength, and is easily ignored as an ordinary bird.

In fact, the swallow bird has fast flight speed, good eyesight and high intelligence, making it a good helper for detectives.

Yanzhiniao monitors around the Feiyue Lake station; he comes back quietly at night and eats the spiritual pills fed by Huang Tankong.

Lu Changan knew that Huang Tankong knew that he had arrived at Mu's house.

If Chang Qing Gong was not good at concealing his aura, he would probably be intercepted by Huang Tankong on the way back.

"Let's see how long this old guy can wait."

Lu Changan has a long life and has the initiative, so there is no need to go to the opponent for a showdown so early.

When this person is extremely old and about to die, it would not be too late to step on him again.

…

A few days later.

From the west side of Feiyue Lake, two breaths of the foundation-building period flew over.

They are a white-faced middle-aged monk and a smart and elegant female monk in a white dress.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, nephew Lin Xian."

Li Erqing came out to greet him.

Lu Changan also flew out of Feiyue Villa to meet Zhao Siyao and Lin Lu.

These two sects built their foundations. When they heard about the accident at Feiyue Lake, they set out from Jinyun Valley to express their condolences and take care of them.

There are unwritten rules in the world of cultivating immortals. Sect members are not allowed to interfere in the disputes between cultivating families at will, at least not openly.

Unless you come from a certain family.

The sect does not train monks to go out and cause trouble.

Otherwise, which family does not know several sect monks and has no corresponding connections.

Under normal circumstances, sect monks are most likely to participate in the mediation of surrounding family forces.

Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao have not seen each other for several years.

Zhao Siyao is no longer the girl she used to be. She wears a phoenix hairpin, has a bright face, is elegant and calm, and her fairy dress is spotless.

The two chatted happily until late at night.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, do you want to participate in the Qingming Secret Realm more than ten years from now?"

When Lu Changan heard the news, his heart moved.

Zhao Siyao's dark eyebrows narrowed slightly and she said: "After the middle stage of foundation building, my cultivation progress became slower and slower, and occasionally I felt weak mentally. In most foundation building stages in this world, it is difficult to break through to the late stage."

"And in the Qingming Secret Realm, there are many heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are extinct in the outside world, including opportunities to break through the ranks in the later stages of foundation building. If you are lucky, you can even get pill-forming spiritual objects."

Zhao Siyao's beautiful and clear eyes exuded a hint of brilliance.

That is the yearning for the Danjie Avenue.

"Unfortunately, Lu's magic power is low and he cannot accompany fellow Daoist Zhao to enter the Qingming Secret Realm."

Lu Changan sighed, slightly regretful.

Most of the places in the Qingming Secret Realm are in the hands of the five major sects of the Liang Kingdom.

In order to quell the dissatisfaction of various families and the majority of casual cultivators, a small number of quotas will be sold to the outside world every year.

Zhao Siyao glanced at him, pursed her lips, and showed an expected smile.

Zhao Siyao mentioned this because she wanted to talk to Lu Changan about whether he could buy a high-quality second-level talisman in ten years.

If there is a second-level high-grade talisman, it will be of great help to Zhao Siyao.

"Lu is currently making second-level mid-level talismans, and the success rate is not high."

Lu Changan thought deeply: "In ten years' time, I can't say for sure. By then, fellow Taoist Zhao can come to Wuqi Mountain."

It sounds like Lu Changan's words are modest and full of uncertainty.

Zhao Siyao has beautiful eyes.

Based on her understanding of Lu Changan, this "uncertainty" is probably a big hope.
