Chapter 126: Escape

It is not surprising that Qi Xuansu won so hard after getting two pieces of "Xuanyu".

The Return to the True Stage is the last stage before the Heavenly Man. The span of this stage is quite large, so there are also differences in strength among the cultivations in the Return to the True Stage.

The strong ones are already very close to the Heavenly Man. They cannot say they have won against the Heavenly Man, but at least they are not completely powerless. The weak ones have just entered the Return to the True Stage, which is only one level higher than the Jade Void Stage. Most of them are ordinary Return to the True Stage.

Even if Su Ran is not the top in the Return to the True Stage, he is outstanding. He is not comparable to the scholar who was killed by Qi Xuansu in the Forgotten Mountain City. First, there is the difference in cultivation, and second, Su Ran is a core disciple of the Taiping Dao, and the magical powers he has learned are far better than ordinary people in the martial arts world.

But the most crucial point is that Su Ran is a demon.

Ghosts are born proficient in illusions and spells, and are born alchemists; zombies are born with strong physiques and are born warriors. In addition to plants and trees becoming spirits, most of the monsters that have become powerful have strong blood and qi, and possess some of the magic of warriors, and the fox clan is the most proficient in transformation and illusion among the monsters.

From this point of view, although Qi Xuansu has the strengths of three families, namely, the wanderer, the alchemist, and the warrior, he does not have an advantage over Su Ran. Even because Su Ran's blood and qi are too strong, Qi Xuansu can't even use the alchemist's methods such as the "ghost knife".

In fact, before the heavenly man, with the same realm of cultivation, except for the special inheritance of exiled immortals, hermits, and Buddhists, most people are not the opponent of monsters. It was not until the heavenly man that the two tended to be equal. However, after the heavenly man went up to the realm of immortals, the monsters gradually fell into the disadvantage.

Because of this, Su Ran still dared to face Qi Xuansu alone when he knew that Qi Xuansu was also at the level of returning to the truth. Although there was a factor of underestimating the enemy, it was reasonable. It can only be said that Qi Xuansu is too unreasonable. Even if he can't compare with the exiled immortal, he is almost half an exiled immortal. In addition, Qi Xuansu's response to the enemy is better than Su Ran's, so he survived to the end.

Qi Xuansu put away the white fox mask and looked around. A layer of light white mist could be seen.

Shortly after he came in, the entire warehouse was isolated by the formation. This is why no one came to check after the two fought for a long time, and why he couldn't break through the wall after being forced into a dead end by the "Dragon Escape Sword Technique".

The key core of the formation lies in the statue of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor not far away.

After all, placing a statue of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor in the warehouse is too abrupt. Who would run to the warehouse to worship the Supreme Taoist Ancestor?

All things that seem unreasonable have reasonable logical explanations inside.

Qi Xuansu put away the "Qingyuan" and the single sword, picked up the Shenlong hand gun, and also put the scattered "Jile Needle" and "Qifengyu" into his pocket, then came to the statue of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, stretched out his hand to pull out another single sword inserted in the statue, and put it back into the scabbard at his waist.

The palms of the statue are movable. The general statue of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor has both hands folded in front of the chest, with the left hand on top and the right hand on the bottom, and the palms are connected. But at this time, the statue of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor has the right hand on top and the left hand on the bottom, and the palms are not touching.

Qi Xuansu made a palm in the air, and under the stimulation of the true energy, the palm of the statue began to move on its own and gradually returned to its original state.

The white mist surrounding the warehouse gradually dissipated.

Qi Xuansu left the warehouse and did not see the figures of other Taoists. It was probably because everyone here was sent away by Su Ran in advance, which made it convenient for Qi Xuansu.

A fourth-rank priest died, and another fourth-rank priest was imprisoned. Such a big change would inevitably alarm the upper echelons of the Taoist sect, and even Yujing.

In other words, the matter has become a big deal and is beyond Qi Xuansu's control. There is only one thing he can do now, run.

Run quickly.

If you don't run, just wait to go to Beichen Hall for tea.

As for this mess, it can only be handed over to the Eighth Tianyang.

Qi Xuansu is like the devil in the legend of the Western Continent. He fulfilled the Eighth Tianyang's wish to solve the case, but he fulfilled the wish in a very twisted way, with extremely terrible consequences.

However, it was not Qi Xuansu's original intention to go to this point. Who could have expected it?

Qi Xuansu quickly returned to the signing room.

The Eighth Tianyang was still waiting here.

On the way back, Qi Xuansu considered a very important question, whether to tell the Eighth Tianyang the truth about the results?

If he told the Eighth Tianyang, the Eighth Tianyang was afraid that he could not bear the consequences and forcibly detained him and Liu Hu to confess to the Taoist sect, what should he do?

If he didn't open his heart to Eighth Tianyang, when the Taoist sect sent people to question him, Eighth Tianyang would inevitably reveal his key information, which was not much better than the first situation.

The key lies in what kind of person Eighth Tianyang is.

After a struggle between heaven and man, Qi Xuansu decided to trust his own vision and judgment and tell Eighth Tianyang everything truthfully.

Eighth Tianyang was stunned when he saw Qi Xuansu coming back covered in blood.

Before Eighth Tianyang asked, Qi Xuansu had already said: "It's true that we expected it. The murderer is Su Ran, the Taoist priest in charge of Huasheng Hall. She wanted to kill me, and I had to kill her to protect myself."

Eighth Tianyang was shocked, silent for a moment, and said: "In this case, Brother Wei should leave this place immediately,"

"The two Taoist priests in charge of 'Tianle Taoyuan', one was imprisoned in Tianle Palace, and the other was killed. These two things are related to us. If I leave, you will be the only one left. If the Taoist sect asks about it, can you bear it?" Qi Xuansu asked.

On the eighth day, Yang smiled bitterly: "You have to bear it even if you can't bear it. After all, this happened because of me. If I hadn't asked Brother Wei to help me investigate the case, I wouldn't have caused such a mess. Besides, Liu Futing acted recklessly, and Su Ran's random killings are all irrefutable evidence, and the truth is on our side after all. Moreover, we are all members of the imperial court. Even if we have to deal with it, we have to write a letter to the cabinet, and then the cabinet issues the decree. Therefore, the Taoist sect can at most put pressure on the cabinet. Just do it to us."

Qi Xuansu slowly loosened the clenched fists in his sleeves, breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "Eighth brother, I am not as good as you."

On the eighth day, Yang said in a deep voice: "This matter can't be kept secret for long, Brother Wei should leave as soon as possible."

Qi Xuansu said: "Don't be busy, I will tell you the specific process first, so that you can be aware of it."

On the eighth day, Yang Yang was startled, then nodded.

So Qi Xuansu started talking about when he entered the warehouse, how he questioned Su Ran, how Su Ran confessed calmly, Su Ran explained why he killed people, and then the pictures were dazzling until Su Ran showed his true body and his last words when he was dying. .

Hearing this, not only Eighth Day Yang, but also Liu Hu couldn't help but exclaim.

The dignified Taoist priest of the fourth grade wine ceremony and the head of Huasheng Hall is actually a four-tailed fox demon? And the reason why this four-tailed fox demon kills people is even more incredible. It's not to eat people's hearts, nor to fight for power, but to defend morality?

Qi Xuansu said: "We can't figure it out. There must be someone in the Taoist sect who can figure it out, so we don't need to think too much."

Tianyang nodded on the eighth day.

Qi Xuansu instructed: "Eighth brother, the top priority now is Tianle Palace and the warehouse."

"First, Liu Futong cannot be allowed to come out. In the officialdom, the officialdom is full of strife. Unless one blow is fatal, there is rarely a moment of quarrel. Either you will not offend, or you will offend to the end without leaving any consequences. If you beat the snake and survive, you will be punished. Backlash. We have already offended Liu Futong. If we let him out of trouble, he will most likely use Su Ran's incident to frame him or kill him. "

"Second, don't let anyone get close to Su Ran's body. This is ironclad evidence. Don't let irrelevant people know the inside story about Su Ran, so as not to escalate the situation. It's best for only the eighth brother to know about it. Wait until someone from the Taoist sect comes, It’s up to them.”

"Third, strike first, and strike later will be controlled by others. Now that the two Taoist priests in charge are unable to manage, the Taoist disciples are leaderless, which gives the eighth brother an opportunity to intervene in 'Tianle Taoyuan' to control the situation. But the eighth brother's Qingluan If Wei steps forward to control the situation, he will inevitably encounter opposition from the Taoist disciples, so the eighth brother should run the Taoist sect in the name of Qingluan Guard’s Seventh Thousand Household and take the initiative in his own hands. "

On the eighth day, Yang Yang's eyes lit up: "What Brother Wei said is absolutely true. You can learn from it."

In fact, there is another dangerous move, which is to release Liu Futong. The two sides reach a compromise, cover up each other, and put all the blame on the dead Su Ran, confirming that Su Ran set up a trap to kill people for power and gain. In this way, Liu Futong passed the test, Qi Xuansu also passed the test, and everything was fine.

It's just that Qi Xuansu couldn't bear to do it when he thought of Su Ran's last words. In the end, he decided to leave only one truth and let the Taoists judge whether Su Ran was right or wrong.
