Chapter 213 A Letter From Home
Hearing this, Sect Master Tianjian frowned, and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes.
"This disciple was recruited from Yong'an Domain. He has only been in the door for two months. He doesn't have much loyalty to the sect. How can he know the secret of Longshan?"
"Elder Tang, Ran Donglai disappeared on the second day of the competition, why did you not report this until today?"
Elder Tang was overwhelmed by the fierce aura of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master, immediately lowered his head in fear, and quickly explained.
"Sovereign, please calm down!"
"The disappearance of a new outer disciple is not a big deal. The suzerain has been busy recently, and his subordinates dare not disturb him."
"Since my subordinates learned that Ran Donglai was missing, they sent people to search and investigate. There has been no news or results in the past few days, and my subordinates have been unable to explain to you, the suzerain..."
Sect Master Tianjian frowned, waved his hand impatiently, and said in a low voice, "That's all! Now that the matter has already happened, it's useless to talk about it!"
"Elder Tang, I order you to take someone to investigate this matter yourself, and you must find Ran Donglai. If you want to see the person, you must see the corpse!"
Elder Tang hurriedly bowed and saluted, cupped his fists and accepted the order, "Your subordinate obeys!"
Sect Master Tianjian's anger subsided a little, and he looked at Huangfu Keqing beside him.
"Huangfu Keqing, Qingtianzong's Nine Dragons Spirit Vein Map, how is your deduction going?"
Huangfu Keqing nodded, cupped his hands calmly and said, "I'm reporting to the suzerain, there are already some eyebrows."
"However, when Deacon Qi investigated the Qingtian Sect for a few days, the spiritual vein pattern and terrain conditions he found were a little superficial, just superficial information."
"Based on the clues investigated by Deacon Qi, my subordinates have preliminarily deduced the layout of the Nine Dragons Spirit Vein, but the most critical details are still missing."
Having said that, he sighed with regret.
"Hey... If there is a chance for my subordinates to enter Qingtianzong and observe the Nine Dragons' veins in person, my subordinates will definitely be able to present a detailed array map to the suzerain."
Sect Master Tianjian squinted his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said in a low tone: "Qingtianzong has taken extra precautions against our sect, and Huangfu Keqing's idea may be difficult to realize."
"However, destroying Qingtianzong's Kowloon spirit vein is a major event, and it needs to be plotted slowly. I am not in a hurry."
"Huangfu Keqing, you are a grand master of formation, so I will trouble you on this matter. I also ask you to investigate more clues and try your best to perfect the Nine Dragons Spirit Vein Map."
"After I destroy the Nine Dragons' veins and destroy the thousand-year foundation of Qingtianzong, my sect will be able to secure the position of the number one sect and control the Tianchen domain instead of Qingtianzong!"
"At that time, this seat will be Huangfu Keqing's first meritorious service!"
Huangfu Keqing showed a smile, and quickly bowed his hands in salute, flattering and flattering: "It is an honor for this subordinate to contribute a small amount to the suzerain's great ambition!"
"The suzerain is so far-sighted and far-sighted, and soon he will be able to destroy the Qingtian sect and dominate the Tianchen domain!"
Of course everyone understood that Huangfu Keqing was flattering.
However, his flattery hit Sect Master Tianjian's heart, which made Sect Master Tianjian feel happy and his anger dissipated.
Next, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master asked about some sect matters, then announced the end of the council, and asked the elders to carry out their orders.
...
Two days passed in a flash.
For the past two days, Ji Tianxing has been practicing in closed doors in the secret room.
After more than 20 hours of painstaking practice, with the help of panacea, he successfully tempered another acupoint.
Although this result is not big and cannot significantly improve his strength, it also makes him feel relieved.
"In just a few days, I have successfully tempered two acupoints. This speed should be very fast."
"After I have tempered all the eight acupoints of the first meridian, I will be able to advance to the second level of the Tongxuan Realm!"
After finishing training, Ji Tian walked out of the secret room.
He left the room, ready to go to Tai'an Palace.
However, as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he met the deacon Du Wu head-on.
Seeing him, Du Wu seemed to have thought of something, and quickly waved and shouted.
"Ji Tianxing! Just met you, I have something to give you."
A look of doubt flashed in Ji Tianxing's eyes, he hurriedly walked up to Du Wu, saluted and asked, "Deacon Du, what is it?"
Du Wu took out a letter from the interspatial ring, handed it to him, and explained: "Here is a letter sent to you by people in the secular kingdom."
"Yesterday, this letter was delivered to me, and I learned that you are practicing in seclusion, so I will keep it for you temporarily."
Ji Tianxing took the envelope, thanked Du Wu, and turned back to the room.
"A letter from the secular kingdom? It should be from my father, right?"
He murmured in a low voice, and with a hint of expectation, he opened the sealed envelope with wax seal.
The handwriting on the letter was neat and majestic, with thousands of words eloquent, and he recognized at a glance that it was the handwriting of his father Ji Changkong.
I saw what was written in the letter: "My son Tianxing, since you left, I miss you very much as a father, and I am also worried that you will not be able to adapt to Qingtianzong's sect rules..."
"As a father, I know that you are thoughtful and prudent in your actions. But the world of martial arts is tortuous and complicated, and people's hearts are unpredictable. You must be more vigilant. You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others."
"Most of my father's injuries have recovered, and he's fine for the time being. You don't need to worry. The Ji family's property is also gradually recovering, and it will be back to normal within half a year..."
"Half a month ago, the people of Sword Shadow Hall caught Ji Hao who was fleeing in Hengchuan Country, and they have taken him back to Ji's house."
"For my father, because his father has given the head, and he is also a descendant of the Ji family, he was not executed. For my father, he was imprisoned in the dungeon, and he was put under house arrest for the rest of his life, facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes."
Ji Tianxing sat at the desk, holding the letter and carefully reading it.
Knowing that the situation of the Ji family has stabilized and that his father's injuries are no longer serious, a smile appeared on his face.
He continued to look down, and saw that the letter said: "Not long ago, the news of Ji Ling's murder was sent back to Qingyun Imperial City."
"The royal family and several major families have already heard the news, but the royal family was not outraged by it, nor did they react."
"My father entrusted someone to inquire secretly. The emperor means that Ji Ling's murder is an internal matter of the Qingtian Sect. It is inconvenient for the royal family to intervene. Therefore, you don't have to worry about the royal family's revenge."
"After Ji Ling's death, the Ling family lost their backing. They have calmed down and restrained themselves a lot. They will no longer attack our Ji family."
"However, my father can feel that the Ling family is only superficially calm. My father has investigated that Ling Sihai, the patriarch of the Ling family, left the imperial city half a month ago, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Tian Xing, although you are supposed to be safe and sound in Qingtian Sect. But my father still hopes that you will be more careful and don't have any accidents..."
