"Is there really a Paradise Tower?" The emperor looked surprised.

After finishing speaking, the emperor looked at Fang Duobing and said, "You are the son of Fang Zeshi, and you have been walking around in the palace since you were a child. You know what a crime it is to deceive the emperor. Tell me, is there really a Paradise Tower?"

"Yes." Fang Duobing nodded.

"What's in the Tower of Bliss?"

Fang Duobing said, "There are a lot of treasures."

Hearing him say this, Xuanyuan Xiao couldn't help but ask, "There are so many treasures, but you guys still don't want to take them?"

"We are not thieves."

"Why do you choose this strange tripod? Tell me, what is the origin of this strange tripod?" Xuanyuan Xiao questioned Fang Duobing and the others while holding the Rama Tripod in his hand.

The matter could not be explained in a few words, especially since it involved the Undisciplined Demon Monk and the Ten Thousand Saints. They knew that even if they told them, they would not believe it, so Fang Duobing and the others simply did not waste their breath on it.

The emperor took notice of their expressions and said, "Let's keep them here for now. Xuanyuan Xiao, come with me and take a look. If there really is a Paradise Tower, I can believe what they say. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Fang Duobing and Li Lianhua looked at each other, and the former whispered, "Fortunately, Shen Haofeng destroyed the mural, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. By the way, has he left the secret passage now?"

"Don't worry, he must have left safely long ago." Li Lianhua replied.

After the emperor and his men entered the secret passage, Yang Yunchun walked up to them and asked, "It's already this late, why don't you just tell us about the Karma Fire Blight?"

Li Lianhua sighed, "It's not that I don't want to tell them, but they probably won't believe it even if I tell them. You've also seen your master's attitude. Shan Gudao's plan is very detailed, and it's not something that can convince His Majesty with just a few words. Fortunately, we saw the Paradise Tower below, and His Majesty should believe that Fang Xiaobao and I didn't lie."

Time for a cup of tea.

The emperor and Xuanyuan Xiao left and returned.

The emperor came out of the secret passage and looked at Fang Duobing and the others. "There really is a Paradise Tower underneath, and there are many secret treasures inside. Just like Xuanyuan Xiao said, you didn't take the treasures, but took this tripod. There must be something strange about this tripod. If you don't want to tell me, then I can only have you locked up until you are willing to tell me."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a guard hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, it's over. The empress dowager went out of the palace to burn incense and fulfill a vow, and was kidnapped."

Hearing his words, the emperor's eyes widened. Is there anyone in this world who dares to kidnap the empress dowager?
Xuanyuan Xiao on the side said hurriedly: "I have failed in my duty. I will go and bring the Queen Mother back." After he said that, he took the Queen Mother away.

The emperor looked at Li Lianhua and the other two and asked, "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

This…

Li Lianhua lowered her voice and said to Fang Duobing: "At a time like this, if you can't explain it clearly, just run away." Regardless of whether they could explain it clearly, at such a critical moment, there was no way they would be thrown into jail.

"Get them for me."

Following the emperor's order, a group of guards walked towards them. Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing immediately used their Qinggong skills to escape.

Yang Yunchun had no choice but to lead his guards to chase after them.

the other side.

Xuanyuan Xiao, who went out of the palace to rescue the empress dowager, saw a man in black carrying someone and running away quickly. He thought it was the empress dowager and immediately sent out a palm to stop the man.

Just when Xuanyuan Xiao was about to kill, an iron hook blocked him.

Three more people came out from behind the rockery, and the leader said disdainfully: "We three brothers have never met an opponent since we arrived in the Central Plains. Today we will learn from the number one master in the palace."

The people who spoke were not others, but the Three Saints of Buddha.

The three of them joined forces to attack Xuanyuan Xiao. At this moment, Xuanyuan Xiao was eager to save people and didn't want to get involved with them at all. He pushed his internal strength to the extreme and attacked without mercy.

The three Buddha saints combined could not even last three moves at his hands before they were all knocked away.

After defeating them, Xuanyuan Xiao immediately knelt in front of the person wrapped in black cloth and said, "I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me, Queen Dowager." As he said this, he reached out to lift the hat covering the "Queen Dowager's" head.

But what was revealed was indeed the face of the Undisciplined Demon Monk.

Before he could react, he was hit in the chest by a palm from the Undisciplined Demon Monk.

Xuanyuan Xiao flew backwards and was hit by another palm from the back, spitting out blood.

Seeing that the person who attacked him from behind was actually Shan Gudao of Wansheng Dao, Xuanyuan Xiao, who was covering his chest, said: "You really have the intention of rebellion."

Holding the Rama Ding handed over by his men, Shan Gudao sneered, "It's not too late to know now, Master Xuanyuan, the palm was a bit heavy, sorry for the disrespect. Open your eyes and take a good look, not everyone is so blessed to see such a prosperous age."

As soon as he finished speaking, under Xuanyuan Xiao's angry eyes, Shan Gudao summoned his internal strength and slapped the Rama Ding in his hand.

Suddenly, a few noises came from the tripod, giving everyone present a splitting headache.

The undisciplined demon monk who had recovered laughed loudly, "This female ghost is really amazing. Just a few chirps almost made us lose our minds."

Holding the Rama Ding in his hand, Shan Gu Dao exuded a domineering aura, "This world, after all, belongs to me, Shan Gu Dao. Hahahaha."

……

The palace was too big and full of guards. Facing their pursuit, Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing had difficulty escaping. Just when they were about to be caught up, Zhao Ling suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Fang Duobing, please come with me. I have a way to take you out." Zhao Ling said hurriedly.

The two followed her and left the imperial city smoothly.

When they got outside the city, Zhao Ling was puzzled. "What happened to my father? Why did he suddenly get so angry and treat you like this?"

"Your Majesty has his own reasons. Your Highness, please do not ask any more questions."

Zhao Ling speculated, "Did those thieves steal things and commit evil, causing father to misunderstand you? No, I will arrest all of them when I return and clear your name."

"Princess, you can't do that." Fang Duobing said hurriedly, "Those people have magical powers that can bewitch people. Don't see anyone after you return to the palace. It's best to pretend to be sick. When we come back, we will eradicate them."

"Pretending to be sick is very tiring." Zhao Ling sighed, "Since you've said so, I'll agree to it. You have to come back soon."

Fang Duobing nodded, "Princess, please take care of yourself."

"You too, after you have cleared your grievances, you will come back to find me." Zhao Ling looked expectant. Li Lianhua, who was standing aside, was a little amused. How could they still be sentimental at such a critical moment? But he looked at Fang Duobing like a satisfied junior. Seeing that he and Zhao Ling were getting closer, he couldn't help but smile like an uncle.

Thinking of her uncle, Li Lianhua instantly thought of Shen Haofeng, and she didn’t know where he was right now.

Seeing Fang Duobing nod, Zhao Ling said, "You said it yourself. Don't disappear like you did last time. Okay, I should go back."

Looking at Zhao Ling's leaving figure, Fang Duobing sighed: "Things are not going well."

"Shan Gudao is using someone else's knife to kill someone. I guess the Karma Fire Blade is already in his hands." Li Lianhua said, "There is no way he will stop now."

"So what now?"

"Divide your forces into two groups." Li Lianhua said, "Your father is currently in the Fang Mansion in the capital, and I'm afraid he will be implicated. You should sneak back to the city immediately and save him if you can. If it's too late, don't act rashly. Otherwise, Master Fang will suffer even more."

"Do you want me to watch my father being arrested?" Fang Duobing was anxious.

"If that's the case, then you should leave immediately and go to Tianji Villa to ask your mother for help. Lord Fang has many friends in the court and they will definitely be able to ensure Lord Fang's safety. Without further ado, you should leave immediately." Li Lianhua said.

Hearing his words, Fang Duobing asked, "What about you?"

"Now Shan Gudao wants to use the Karma Fire Blight, so I need to find a way to restrain the Karma Fire Blight." Li Lianhua said: "Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that I have an old friend who I haven't seen for many years. I have to go meet him."

"Okay." Fang Duobing nodded, "Then let's meet up at the Lotus Tower after we're done."

……

Fang Duobing's trip back home did not go as he wished, because his father had lived an upright life, and even if he was unwilling to do so temporarily, he would never be willing to be labeled a traitor.

In desperation, Fang Duobing could only go to Lianhua Tower to meet up with Li Lianhua first.

But when he arrived at the Lotus Tower, he found only bloodstains on the building, but no trace of Li Lianhua.

Fang Duobing hurried to Sigumen.

"Master Xiao, please give orders immediately and have everyone in the Sigumen work together to find Li Lianhua." Fang Duobing said loudly as he entered the Sigumen hall.

Hearing his words, Shi Shui asked, "What happened to Li Lianhua?"

"There was only a pool of blood in the Lotus Tower, and Li Lianhua was gone."

"Young Master Fang, there are at least dozens of people disappearing in the martial arts world every day. Why should the Si Gu Men go all out to look for Li Lianhua just because she disappeared?" Xiao Zijin said, "The Si Gu Men is here to do big things, not to look for someone like Zhang San or Li Si..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Duobing said anxiously: "Finding Li Lianhua is the top priority. Shan Gudao is ambitious and only Li Lianhua can stop him, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"Don't exaggerate. There are indeed rumors in the martial arts world that Shan Gudao faked his death and asked Wanshengdao to besiege Tianjitang, but this is your personal grudge. There is no need to involve the safety of the world." Xiao Zijin looked disdainful.

"Master Xiao, I don't know if you are really confused or just pretending." Fang Duobing said unhappily, "Dan Gudao has been dormant for the past ten years, leading the Wansheng Dao, joining forces with Jiao Liqiao to gather fish, dragons, cattle and horses, and recruiting a group of evil masters. His power has long surpassed that of the righteous. What's more terrifying is that he has now obtained the mother of the Yehuo Qi. As long as the time is right, he can control anyone to become his puppet."

Looking at everyone, Fang Duobing said, "Do you still think you can stay out of trouble? What I say now is true, and the heaven and earth are my witnesses. Everyone, only by finding Li Lianhua can you stop Shan Gudao."

Ji Hanfu stood up and asked, "Why can we stop Shan Gudao by finding Li Lianhua?"

"Do you know Li Lianhua and Shan Gudao?"

"Because Li Lianhua is Shan Gudao's junior fellow apprentice, Li Xiangyi, the leader of the Sigu Sect." Fang Duobing said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Shui, the number one "fan" of Li Xiangyi of Si Gu Men, stood up immediately and asked, "Are you serious? Is Li Lianhua really the leader of the sect?"

Xiao Zijin slammed the table fiercely, "What nonsense! Li Xiangyi is so handsome, but who is Li Lianhua? He is just a villager who grows vegetables in the fields. Master Shi, in the whole world, except for this Fang Duobing, who else can prove that Li Lianhua is Li Xiangyi?"

"I'll help him prove it."

A voice sounded in the hall. Fang Duobing turned around and saw that it was Zhan Yunfei.

Ji Hanfu recognized Zhan Yunfei, "Zhan Yunfei, hero Zhan?"

"I have a ready-made solution here." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Yunfei looked at Fang Duobing and winked at him.

Fang Duobing understood what he meant, and he cut the vase with a sword, took out the flower buds that had not yet bloomed, and used the slow internal force of Yangzhou to make the flower buds bloom in front of everyone.

When they saw this Kung Fu, Bai Jianghe and the others were immediately surprised, "Yangzhou Slow? Fang Duobing, the internal Kung Fu you just used is Yangzhou Slow?"

Fang Duobing nodded, "At that time, I was seriously injured and my life was in danger. It was Li Lianhua who taught me Yangzhou Man."

"He is really still alive." Ji Hanfu couldn't believe it.

"The sect leader is in danger. We should find him as soon as possible." Bai Jianghe was anxious.

But Xiao Zijin said, "Even if it's really Li Xiangyi, so what? The Si Gu Men was established for the justice of the martial arts world, and they worry about the major events of the martial arts world. If one person is missing, the entire Si Gu Men will be mobilized to look for him. If this gets out, won't it make the fellow martial artists laugh at it?"

This…

It's because Fang Duobing has read a lot of books and has good family education. If he were a normal young man, he would probably be cursing his mother by now.

Don’t you understand what people say?
If we don't find Li Lianhua and let him deal with Shan Gudao, we will lose all our fellow martial artists and become a laughing stock.

Just when Fang Duobing was about to lose his temper, Shen Haofeng and Qiao Wanwan appeared in the Sigumen together.

"You will definitely make your fellow martial artists laugh at you." Qiao Wanwan said coldly, "You will laugh at us for being hypocrites who watched someone die without helping." She looked at Xiao Zijin, "I really can't imagine that you have become like this today, talking about great benevolence and righteousness, but with a heart full of malicious calculations. What's the big deal about losing the big for the small? What's the big deal about the martial arts world? Isn't the great justice in this world just the accumulation of these small things?"

"The one who disappeared today, even if he was just a peddler, can we just let him lose his life just because he is not important and not worth it? What difference does it make whether such a Si Gu Men exists or not?"

After saying this, Qiao Wanwan took off the sect master token from Xiao Zijin's waist and said loudly: "Pass on the order from the sect master of Sigu Sect. From today on, everyone in Sigu Sect must search for Li Lianhua's whereabouts. The mountains are high and the waters are far, and no one should miss her. Also, invite friends of the righteous path to Sigu Sect to discuss the plan to counter the Wansheng Dao."

"I will follow the orders of the Sect Master."

The person they are looking for is Li Xiangyi. Xiao Zijin thought that since he is the sect leader, he can stop the Si Gu Men from coming in and out. However, he didn't know that when Li Xiangyi is not around, the Si Gu Men can be anyone's Si Gu Men, but as soon as Li Xiangyi appears, the Si Gu Men becomes Li Xiangyi's Si Gu Men.

Looking at the Sect Master Order in her hand, Qiao Wanwan sighed, "I regret that I shouldn't have allowed you to become the Sect Master of the Si Gu Sect. I took the Sect Master Order away. It is hanging around your waist, which is a humiliation to the Si Gu Sect." (End of this chapter)
