Ninth Demon Lord

Chapter 869
Li Xuan also looked at her husband like a girl, and smiled softly: "I know that in my husband's heart, I am the most important."

Xiang Qiangu came forward, gently supported Li Xuan's arm, and said, "I'll take Madam to rest."

"Husband, I'm not too old to walk." Li Xuan looked up at her husband and said gently, "Husband, no matter what happens, you must take care of your own body."

"Madam, don't worry, I'll be fine." Xiang Qiangu assured.

"I saw Xing Gongdeng coming just now, I should have something to tell my husband." Li Xuan changed the subject.

"Then I won't send my wife off." Xiang Qiangu let go of Li Xuan's arm.

"Husband, I'm going."

"Ma'am, go slowly."

Xiang Qiangu watched Li Xuan go out from the back hall of the study and left the study.

He just sat down, took a sip of tea, and said to the outside: "Come in."

"Yes."

Following the voice, a thin and shrewd middle-aged man walked in.

"Meet the suzerain." The middle-aged man bowed and saluted.

"Sit down." Xiang Qiangu said peacefully.

"Thank you, Sect Master." The middle-aged man sat down carefully.

"Have you heard all about it?" Xiang Qiangu asked.

"I heard." The middle-aged man paused for a while, and said in a heavy tone: "Now some of the older disciples in the sect are suspicious...the big villain has appeared again."

Xiang Qiangu smiled lightly and said, "Do you think he is a big villain?"

"Probably not." The middle-aged man said solemnly.

"Who do you think it is?" Xiang Qiangu looked into the eyes of the middle-aged man and asked.

The middle-aged man looked at Xiang Qiangu, paused for a moment, and said, "Sect Master, I suspect that the thief came from the sect."

"Who?" Xiang Qiangu asked.

"In the sect, apart from Jieyin Peak, only Baili Peak has three sky realms." The middle-aged man said.

Xiang Qiangu looked at the middle-aged man, he didn't immediately judge the middle-aged man's judgment, but fell silent.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to disturb the suzerain's thinking. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the ground in front of him.

"Is it necessary for Bailifeng to do this?" Xiang Qiangu asked.

"Sect Master, when Feng Ting came to the sect, the [-]th Elder and the [-]th Elder firmly stood on the side of the Sect Master, thinking that the First Elder wanted to use Feng Ting to coerce the Sect Master to abdicate."

When the middle-aged man said this, he paused for a while, and continued: "Later, the great elder got some good panacea and treasures from somewhere, and gave them to several elders to keep them neutral. But there is no Fourteenth Elder and Seventeenth Elder."

Xiang Qiangu looked at the middle-aged man, took a breath, and said, "For this reason, the Great Elder took action against the Fourteenth Elder and the Seventeenth Elder, which still seems unreasonable."

The middle-aged man looked at the suzerain and said solemnly: "Although the great elder is very dissatisfied with the suzerain, he still hopes that there will be no disputes in the sect. But Duan Fangyan may not think so. Her complaints about the suzerain are deep Very much."

Xiang Qiangu looked at the middle-aged man, and said calmly, "He has a complaint against me, so is he going to kill the fourteenth and seventeenth elders?"

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and said, "Sovereign, Duan Fangyan is a woman, and women's minds are often different from men's."

Hearing the words, Xiang Qiangu frowned boredly, and said, "Kudou, since you said so, then go and check it out."

"Okay." The middle-aged man got up immediately.

"Be careful." Xiang Qiangu said.

"Don't worry, suzerain, I won't alarm anyone." The middle-aged man understood that the suzerain told him to be careful, not to make him be careful and safe, but to be careful not to be caught by others.

The middle-aged man went out, raised the teacup to Qiangu, and quietly took a sip of tea.

Then he said to the outside: "Let Tong Jue come to see me."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Someone outside agreed.

Xiang Qiangu picked up the teacup again, wanting to drink tea.He found that the tea in the teacup was a little cold, but he took a sip anyway.

About a quarter of an hour later, someone knocked on the door.

"Dong dong."

"come in."

The door opened, and a robust young man walked in.

"Tong Jue has met the suzerain." The young man bowed and saluted.

"Bring some people and take a closer look inside and outside Juntian Mountain." Xiang Qiangu ordered.

The young man named Tong Jue immediately said: "Sovereign, are you looking for the thieves who are the Fourteenth Elder and the Seventeenth Elder?"

"Ah."

"Sect Master, I'm going." Tong Jue withdrew.

Xiang Qiangu continued to sit quietly, he seemed to be thinking, and seemed to be deciding on something.

After a while, he walked out of the study with a flash.

When he reappeared, he was already standing on the back mountain of Jieyin Peak.

Jieyin Peak is very large. In addition to the palace in the front mountain, there are many caves and stone chambers in the back mountain.

These caves and stone chambers have been remodeled, and they don't look primitive, but they are very suitable for cultivation.

These caves and stone chambers are irregular, scattered scattered on many cliffs and rocks in the back mountain.

Xiang Qiangu flew up and entered a very high cave.

"Tu Fangshi has met the suzerain."

There was a tall man in the cave. Although he looked a little rough, his eyes were cold and steady.

"Fang Shi, the six of you don't need to go to Tiandu for now." Xiang Qiangu said.

"Sect Master, why didn't you go?" the man named Tu Fangshi asked.

"Elder Gui and Elder Yan were killed by thieves." Xiang Qiangu said.

"This subordinate doesn't understand." Tu Fangshi said.

"When the sect is quiet, the four of you will go to Tiandu." Xiang Qiangu said.

"Sovereign, are the rumors true?" Tu Fangshi asked.

"Do you think it's true?" Xiang Qiangu asked back.

"Probably not him." Tu Fangshi replied.

"Whether it's true or not, we have to find out." Xiang Qiangu said.

"The suzerain wants us to help figure it out?" Tu Fangshi asked.

"You six, don't stay in Jieyin Peak, go out and have a look, but don't separate." Xiang Qiangu said.

"This subordinate understands." Tu Fangshi said he understood.

"Where are the five of them?" Xiang Qiangu asked.

"The five of them work harder than me, as long as they have a little time, they will practice." Tu Fangshi replied.

"You should also learn from the five of them." Xiang Qiangu's tone was calm, like teaching, but also like joking.

"This subordinate understands." Tu Fangshi said with a smile.

"I'm leaving, be careful when you go out." Xiang Qiangu replied.

"What does the suzerain tell his subordinates to be careful?" Tu Fangshi asked.

"Don't let people see you, and come back alive." Xiang Qiangu said.

"This subordinate understands." Tu Fangshi agreed with a smile.

"Here are a few elixirs, you can share them." Xiang Qiangu took out a elixir box and handed it to Tu Fangshi.

"Thank you suzerain." Tu Fangshi took the pill box and bowed to thank him.

Xiang Qiangu glanced at the depths of the cave, and when he turned around, he had already disappeared.

Tu Fangshi opened the pill box and saw that his smiling face was illuminated by the light of the elixir in the pill box.

……

On Baili Peak, there is a garden.

A slim and warm figure is walking among the flowers. The warmth released from her body makes the flowers in the garden seem to want to get close to her.

Her warmth conceals her strength, so that anyone who sees her will feel that she is a beautiful and gentle woman.

She was walking slowly when she saw a thin old man walking in, so she went to meet the old man.

The old man had white hair and beard, an old face, and a cold and dignified body.

This is in stark contrast to the beauty and warmth of the woman, but they are father and daughter.Duan Baili, the great elder of Jun Tianzong, and Duan Fangyan, the proud daughter of heaven.

"Father, you're back?" Duan Fangyan's tone was always so gentle, anyone who heard it would feel kind.

Duan Baili is naturally the same, his daughter is his relative, his pride, and even more his treasure.

"Fangyan, you know everything?" Although Duan Baili was cold and stern, he tried his best to be kind in front of his daughter.

"Know some." Duan Fangyan replied.

"Now some old disciples are saying that the big villain has appeared again." Duan Baili said.

"It does look a bit like it." Duan Fangyan said.

"It's not the big villain." Duan Baili said solemnly: "The big villain always walks alone. There should be more than one thief who killed the fourteenth and seventeenth elders."

"More than one, how many are there?" Duan Fangyan asked.

"The Fourteenth Elder and his three most powerful disciples were in the main hall, and their heads were beheaded at the same time. The Seventeenth Elder and his four disciples were in the garden, and their heads were also beheaded at the same time. This cannot be one person That's why." Duan Baili explained.

"The villain was so powerful back then that even the ancestors couldn't capture him. He should be able to kill the [-]th elder teacher and the [-]th elder teacher and apprentice in one move." Duan Fangyan said.

Duan Baili looked at his daughter and shook his head slightly: "That big villain was injured by the ancestor back then, and it was difficult for him to recover."

"Maybe." Duan Fangyan saw that her father did not believe that he was a big villain, so she stopped arguing with him.

Duan Baili looked at his daughter and said solemnly: "From today onwards, you must not leave Bailifeng."

"Okay." Duan Fangyan knew that her father was worried about her safety, so she naturally agreed immediately.

Duan Baili looked at the sky and sighed: "The sect is not peaceful!"

"It's not peaceful. I don't know how the suzerain will solve the current crisis." Duan Fangyan said.

"Although the suzerain didn't show anything, I feel that he is not in a good mood." Duan Baili said.

"When a person dies, he is naturally in a bad mood. I don't know if he can avenge the dead person." Duan Fangyan said.

"As long as you are not a big villain, it should be difficult to escape from the palm of the suzerain." Duan Baili said.

"I hope." Duan Fangyan said.

Duan Baili knew that his daughter didn't like the suzerain very much, he said with a smile: "Although the suzerain has missed many things, at this moment, people in the same sect still have to be of one mind."

"Father, Fangyan knows." Duan Fangyan said.

At this time, a disciple came to report that the Ninth Elder asked to see him, so Duan Baili left the garden.

Duan Fangyan continued to walk quietly in the garden, she was always so peaceful and warm, as if the sun on that day was not as likable as her.
