The Legend of Muxian

Chapter 184 57, the beginning of decline

The island lord's mansion of Beizhou Island was robbed, and a fierce battle took place, causing heavy losses to the island lord's mansion. This incident spread throughout the Haisha Islands at a very fast speed, and it was closely watched by the other four main islands. I heard that This incident even alarmed the ancestor of the Shangguan family, Daoist Yongping.

This time the prison was robbed, the Shangguan family not only lost many family monks, but also caused Beizhou Island to lose face in front of the other four islands, which made several leaders of the Shangguan family very annoyed.

"Can any of you tell me what's going on here? How has the good island owner's mansion been managed by you?" Daoist Yongping sat on the main seat of the main hall of the island owner's mansion, looking at the few people below with a serious expression. a junior.

"We have to ask our talented niece Rumeng about it. I heard that her eldest maid was there!" Shangguan Yunwu, the second master of the Shangguan family, said with a smile.

"Second brother, what do you mean?" Shangguan Yunwen asked a little angrily.

"What can I mean? Isn't this what the ancestor is asking? Can't I tell the ancestor what I know?" Shangguan Yunwu squinted at his half-brother who is the owner of the island.

"you...!"

"Okay, bring Rumeng and her maid!" Daoist Yongping said impatiently, looking at the two brothers whose needlepoints were facing Maimang, he was very dissatisfied. What time is it, and they only care about their own interests , I have to find a chance to have a good talk with their inaction father.

Xiaoqiao was taken into the hall trembling all over, knelt on the ground, lowered her head, there were already many bloodstains on her body, these were all beaten by Shangguan Rumeng before she came.

"Why were you in the dungeon that day?" Daoist Yongping paid attention to Shangguan Yunwen, who hurriedly asked.

"The servant girl was kidnapped that day."

"Nonsense, you obviously went there alone, many people saw it, tell me quickly, did you collude with people outside the mansion, and wanted to let those people in the water prison go?" Said Shangguan like a dream He picked up the whip in his hand and beat Xiao Qiao who was kneeling on the ground.

"The servant did not lie, someone really hijacked me.

Daojun Yongping looked at Shangguan Rumeng who was so presumptuous in front of him, and was very disappointed in his heart. This is the successor Yunwen cultivated in every possible way. First, he destroyed his good qualifications for the sake of men, and now he is even more indiscriminate. Jumping to conclusions, irritable, cruel, and irrational, how can such a person become the helm of the Shangguan family.

Shangguan Yunwen looked at her violent daughter, feeling very helpless, and hurried forward to stop her behavior.

Shangguan Yunwu stood watching from the side, feeling very disdainful in her heart, even if Shangguan Rumeng changed her spiritual roots and recovered her superior aptitude, she would have been crippled long ago.

"Are you going to beat her to death in front of me?" Daoist Yongping asked Shangguan Rumeng with some gloom.

"Ru Meng didn't dare, it's just that this maid is full of lies. The maid next to me told me that she was out of her mind that day, she must have colluded with others to rob the prison together." Zu, said in a low voice.

"Hmph, so stupid, a servant girl's words become the basis for your judgment!" Daoist Yongping sneered, turned to the servant girl lying on the ground and asked, "How did that person hold you hostage?"

"I don't know, I can't see where she is. At first, the maid felt a pain in her head, and then she sent me a voice transmission, asking me to do as she said. As long as I show a little resistance, I will My head hurts like it's going to explode."

"The water prison she told you to go straight to?"

"Yes, she asked me to go to the water dungeon from the beginning, and she seems to be very familiar with the Island Lord's Mansion, how to get to the water dungeon, and the steward of the water dungeon, she knows, by the way, she seems to know that there is an isolation spirit shield in the water dungeon! "

"You even know this? What does she look like?" Daoist Yongping looked at the crowd below, thinking.

"I don't know, I only know that she is a woman." Xiaoqiao paused, she actually saw the light green figure of the nun in the water prison, and heard the conversation between her and Han Rou, but she didn't want to say, She knew that no matter what, she was going to die this time. If Han Rou could be rescued and not be tortured, she wouldn't have to die with guilt.

Originally, with Xiaoqiao's cultivation in the late stage of foundation establishment, it was impossible to hide the truth from the cultivators of Huashen and Nascent Soul, but Zhenjun Yongping and the others were all thinking about the invisible female cultivator who could evade detection, so they didn't notice Xiaoqiao's slight pause.

After hearing the servant girl's reply, Taoist Yongping recalled that when he arrived, there seemed to be a wave of spiritual energy flashing past. After he settled the troublesome Nascent Soul cultivators, he searched again, and there was no trace of it. up.

"What's the matter with the water prison steward?" Daoist Yongping asked seriously.

"I don't know. I was fine when the steward brought me to the water prison, but when everyone else in the water prison left, he became like a puppet."

Thinking of the fact that the spiritual consciousness had been shattered and turned into a demented steward, Daoist Yongping felt a little heavy in his heart. It stands to reason that to destroy the spiritual consciousness of a late Jindan cultivator, he would have to be much higher than his cultivation level. Her cultivation base should be above the middle stage of Nascent Soul, so it is not difficult to explain that she was able to escape under his nose.

"Then how did she save Han Rou?" Shangguan Rumeng couldn't help asking.

"The servant only saw Han Rou disappear into the dungeon!"

Daoist Yongping waved his hand, and Xiaoqiao was dragged out.The hall suddenly became quiet.

Shangguan Yunwu looked at the silent patriarch, and then took another look. The father and daughter of Shangguan Yunwen, who were standing aside, thought for a while and stepped forward and said, "Patriarch, there is something I think I should tell you. .”

Daoist Yongping looked straight at Shangguan Yunwu and didn't speak, which made Shangguan Yunwu feel a little twitching in his heart, but he still said, "Besides the invisible monk, there is another person who escaped, Sikong Yuncen."

"What, Sikong Yuncen, didn't I let you kill me?" Taoist Yongping stood up from his seat at once, glaring at Shangguan Yunwen with his eyes.

Seeing the furious ancestor, the members of the Shangguan family quickly knelt down, and Shangguan Yunwen was directly injured by the coercion of Yongping Daojun, and spit out several mouthfuls of blood, "Old ancestor calm down, I didn't let father kill Sikong Yun Cen, I originally wanted to torture him properly!"

Seeing his father injured, Shangguan Rumeng hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Okay, okay! The Shangguan family really chose a good island owner!" After speaking, Taoist Yongping shook his sleeves and left.

As soon as Daoist Yongping left, Shangguan Rumeng began to question Shangguan Yunwu, "Second Uncle, what do you mean, you want the ancestor to keep his father secret? How about you be the island owner?"

Shangguan Yunwu looked at Shangguan Rumeng who was arrogant as soon as the ancestor left, and said with a sneer, "Brother, how did you educate Rumeng these years, how did you become like this? Such arrogance! Sikong Yuncen Have you ever thought about what will happen to the Shangguan family in the future?"

"Our Shangguan family is still afraid that those pirates will fail!" Shangguan Rumeng said disapprovingly, completely unaware of how serious his father's face became.
