“Sister Yuyun, what are you doing here?”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.

Yan Yuyun turned around and found that it was her senior sister, Lin Tong.

“Sister.” Yan Yuyun said respectfully.

Lin Tong walked up, looked at the distant sky, and could faintly see the trace of a carrier pigeon. She smiled and said, “Are you writing a letter home?”

“Yes.” Yan Yuyun smiled and said, “I need to contact my family about something. By the way, Sister, today Peak Master Mu Haifeng has broken through to the Innate Great Perfection. Do you know when the celebration will be held?”

“The celebration will be in half a month.” Lin Tong said, “During this time, we need to send out invitations, and we also need time to prepare in Dao Mountain Ancient Land. It seems that the elders want to make the celebration grand, so it will take some time to prepare.”

“By the way.” Lin Tong seemed to remember something, then said, “Our Miao Yuan Peak also has a task.”

“There are more female disciples on our Miao Yuan Peak, so the sect has arranged some relatively easy tasks for us.”

Lin Tong said, “We are responsible for cleaning up Lingxin Mountain. There is a Lingxin Spring there. After the banquet, the sect will invite some people to go there for tea, so we are in charge of that. Yuyun, you are responsible for leading the junior brothers and sisters to do this.”

“Sister, don’t worry, I will definitely arrange this small matter properly. Compared to the tasks of the brothers from other peaks, our task is definitely very easy.” Yan Yuyun said with a smile.

The entire Dao Mountain Ancient Land began to get busy. Everyone knew that this celebration was very important, and no disciple from any peak dared to be careless.

On Qianxue Peak.

Xue Qianbai invited Xu Muhai to be a guest on the peak.

“No matter how many times I come, it’s always so cold here.” Xu Muhai and Xue Qianbai sat opposite each other, with snow faintly falling from the sky. Xue Qianbai poured a cup of tea for Xu Muhai, who politely accepted it.

“You’re at the Grandmaster realm now, how can you still be afraid of the cold?” Xue Qianbai casually said.

“It’s not really cold, it just looks cold.”

“Speaking of which, the Ghost Devil trial must have been tough.” Xu Muhai sighed lightly, “Before I came, Li Jinsong also told me about the Ghost Devil trial. I didn’t expect the Longevity Sect to have become so rampant, even daring to confront our entire Eastern Desolate Land.”

“They’re not just confronting our Eastern Desolate Land, their ambition is too great. They might not even care about the Four Desolate Lands.” Xue Qianbai said quietly, “But this time it is indeed targeted at the Eastern Desolate Land. Who made us the weakest in the Cangyuan Realm?”

Hearing this, Xu Muhai also gave a bitter smile. Among the Four Desolate Lands, the overall strength of the Eastern Desolate Land was indeed weaker than other places.

There was no way around it. The location of the great battle between the Buddha and the Ghost was in the Eastern Desolate Land. After that battle, many strong people in the Eastern Desolate Land fell, and it has not recovered its vitality after so many years.

“By the way, where did this Qinglian Sword Sovereign come from? Is he reliable?” Xu Muhai asked with a frown.

Hearing that the Qinglian Sword Sovereign had rescued all the sects in the Eastern Desolate Land, Xu Muhai was surprised, but he was also worried that this Qinglian Sword Sovereign, who had an unknown origin, might be a member of the Longevity Sect, and they were playing a trick together. That would be troublesome.

“He’s reliable, you don’t need to doubt.” Xue Qianbai glanced at Xu Muhai, but did not say that the Qinglian Sword Sovereign was Li Changqing. The fewer people who knew about this, the better for Li Changqing.

This matter must not leak a single word to the Longevity Sect. After all, Li Changqing is now the number one person on the Longevity Sect’s kill list.

The plan that the Longevity Sect had been laying out for hundreds of years was broken by Li Changqing.

It’s estimated that the Longevity Sect now wants to tear Li Changqing apart.

If the Longevity Sect knew the identity of the Qinglian Sword Sovereign, perhaps the entire Minghong Prefecture would have to be buried with Li Changqing.

Seeing Xue Qianbai’s certainty, Xu Muhai also nodded and didn’t say anything. If Xue Qianbai was so sure, it seemed that he knew the true identity of the Qinglian Sword Sovereign, so there was no need to doubt.

“The Qinglian Sword Sovereign gave me some information a while ago.” Xue Qianbai said lightly, “There is a deep undercover agent hidden in our Dao Mountain Ancient Land. This person was planted by the Longevity Sect after a long time. His code name is ‘Xue Ye’. The mission that your disciple Li Hengsheng went to Pengfei Village was arranged by Xue Ye.”

“Xue Ye…” Xu Muhai frowned, “Are there any other clues?”

“No, this Xue Ye is hidden too deeply.” Xue Qianbai shook his head, “The Qinglian Sword Sovereign only found this one clue.”

“We have been investigating the mission in Pengfei Village, but we have not found any clues. We have no idea who did it.” Xu Muhai took a sip of tea, then said coldly, “But this Xue Ye, as long as he is not found, we will not be at ease.”

“Wait, you mean…” Xu Muhai suddenly looked at Xue Qianbai suspiciously.

“This celebration is an opportunity.” Xue Qianbai took a sip of tea and said, “The celebration was proposed by me to the elders, but I didn’t tell them it was related to Xue Ye. This time, I think the Longevity Sect will definitely make a move. They are obsessed with the life of Li Hengsheng, because Li Hengsheng and I are both very important ‘keys’ in their mouths.”

“What exactly is the ‘key’?” Xu Muhai was still curious about this question.

“I don’t know.” Xue Qianbai shook his head, “Unless we catch Xue Ye, Xue Ye can tell us.””So you think that Hengsheng will definitely be assassinated by the Longevity Sect during his procurement trip?” Xu Muhai speculated.

“Are they going to kill me if they don’t kill Li Hengsheng? If they dare to come, I don’t mind.” Xue Qianbai looked at Xu Muhai in surprise.

“Then I’ll protect him in secret.” Xu Muhai quickly said.

“No need.”

Xue Qianbai waved his hand, “You just need to consolidate your cultivation at Mu Haifeng. Don’t worry about this matter. There are people more suitable than you to protect him. Besides, your sudden disappearance would easily alert the enemy. This celebration is prepared for you. You are the focus, so stay here.”

Xue Qianbai had already sent a letter to Li Changqing.

To protect his own son, Li Changqing was extremely dedicated and serious.

Moreover, the Longevity Sect wouldn’t make a move on Li Hengsheng as soon as he left the mountain. That would be too hasty and could easily be caught by the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

They would definitely strike at Li Hengsheng on his way back, so it was better to let Li Changqing wait for him in Path Mark City.

However, just in case, Xue Qianbai also asked Li Jinsong to accompany Li Hengsheng for a while to ensure his safety.

If they didn’t catch Xue Ye this time, it would be even harder to catch him in the future.

They could only wait for the sect leader to return.

Li Hengsheng didn’t even know that he had been used as bait by Xue Qianbai.

Li Changqing was even more unaware that he had informed Xue Qianbai about Xue Ye’s presence in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land in his letter, and this grandson used his son as bait.

When Li Changqing received the letter, he was so angry that he cursed Xue Qianbai for being shameless and letting his son take risks.

But there was no other way, perhaps this was the best way to find Xue Ye. Once Xue Ye was eliminated, his son would be less in danger.

And with him there, he would definitely not let his son get hurt.

Unless the Longevity Sect sent a land god, otherwise, even if it was the Great Martial Sect, he could fight them.

But if the Longevity Sect could send a land god, they wouldn’t need to bother with assassinations. They could just openly attack the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

He hadn’t visited the Changqing Trading Company yet, so it would be good to take a look.

Since Li Jinsong had been escorting him all the way, Li Changqing left Changting Town directly and went to Path Mark City first.

Li Changqing planned to go ahead and see if there were any traces of the Ghost Clan in Path Mark City. If there were, he would capture them first, regardless of whether they were from the Longevity Sect.

Better to kill wrongly than to let go!

He couldn’t let his son be in danger.

The next morning.

Li Hengsheng set off.

There were three people going.

Li Hengsheng, Yang Tiantian, and Xu Kui.

As Li Hengsheng’s steward, Xu Kui naturally had to follow. Although Xu Kui’s cultivation was only at the Prenatal Realm, his experience in the world was very rich.

Zhou Jun lent his poor Purple Lightning to Li Hengsheng to help pull the carriage.

Purple Lightning, a half-spirit beast with noble blood, probably never thought that one day it would become a carriage-pulling spirit beast.

Li Hengsheng and Yang Tiantian sat in the carriage, while Xu Kui was responsible for driving outside.

The carriage was very fast. When they passed through the city of Unwavering, Li Hengsheng suddenly had a whim and said to Xu Kui outside, “Uncle Xu, there’s still some time. Can I go back to Changting Town?”

“Young Master wants to go to Changting Town?” Xu Kui looked at Li Hengsheng’s expectant eyes, then nodded and said, “Alright, it’s just a detour. With Purple Lightning here, it won’t affect us. Let’s go.”

“Thank you, Uncle Xu.”

Li Hengsheng was as excited as a child at this time.

“You’re going home, you must be very happy.” Yang Tiantian looked at Li Hengsheng and smiled.

“Yes.” Li Hengsheng sighed, “I haven’t seen my father for several years. I don’t know what he looks like now, whether he’s fatter or thinner than before, whether his hair has turned white, whether he’s living well every day. Although my father always tells me in his letters that he’s doing well…”

“But as a parent, maybe he’s just trying not to worry me.” Li Hengsheng laughed at himself, “Sister, do you think I’m unfilial? I haven’t been home for so many years.”

“You’re doing very well.” Yang Tiantian had also heard about her junior brother’s situation from Xu Muhai, and said, “Your father is now a patron of the Yan family, and even has shares in the Changqing Trading Company. His life won’t be too bad.”

“Do you know how many branches the Changqing Trading Company has opened in the Eastern Desolate Land after the Ghost Devil trial? The tea they sell is making a fortune, and the pre-made food order in Path Mark City is also very hard to get. Don’t worry, your father must be living very well.” Yang Tiantian comforted.

“When was the last time you went home?” Li Hengsheng suddenly became curious.

“Me?” Yang Tiantian was taken aback, then shook her head, “I don’t have a home.”

“Uh.” Li Hengsheng felt that he had asked something he shouldn’t have. At this moment, Yang Tiantian’s eyes were filled with a touch of melancholy.

Looking at Yang Tiantian, who looked just like a child, her eyes were heartbreaking.

“Sister, you’ve been so good to me, we’re like real siblings. From now on, my home is your home.” Li Hengsheng said sincerely.

Hearing this, Yang Tiantian suddenly laughed and said, “You little guy, did you use this trick to deceive little girls before? Did you deceive Lu Qiaoqiao like this?”

“I didn’t.” Li Hengsheng quickly cried out in injustice.”Alright, I was just teasing you. I understand,” Yang Tiantian suddenly said. “By the way, the eldest senior brother will be back in a few days. You haven’t met him yet, have you?”

“I haven’t,” Li Hengsheng nodded.

“The eldest senior brother wrote a letter saying he’s eager to meet his little junior brother,” Yang Tiantian added.

“What kind of person is the eldest senior brother?” Li Hengsheng was curious about whether his senior brother was easy to get along with.

“Well…” Yang Tiantian pondered for a moment before saying, “You’ll know when you meet him.”

“Still keeping me in suspense, huh?”

As the sun set, the Purple Lightning finally arrived at Changting Town.

“I’m home.”

Pulling back the curtain of the carriage, Li Hengsheng breathed in the air of Changting Town, looking at the bustling streets on both sides with anticipation in his eyes.

“It’s quite lively,” Yang Tiantian also commented, looking out the window.

The town was small, but it had everything one could need.

Not long after, Li Hengsheng spotted a familiar place.

“Sister, look, that’s my house,” Li Hengsheng pointed at a house not far away.

“Changqing Art Studio?” Yang Tiantian raised her eyebrows. Coming to Changting Town with Li Hengsheng was a good thing. Xu Muhai had always hoped that Yang Tiantian could ask Li Changqing for help with some of her own problems. This was a good opportunity.

“Uncle Xu, pull over for a moment.”

Xu Kui parked the carriage to the side, and Li Hengsheng jumped down and went to the door of the Changqing Art Studio. He tried to push the door open, but found it locked.

“Your father doesn’t live here anymore. He must be staying at the Yan Residence,” Yang Tiantian told Li Hengsheng.

“Oh, right.” Li Hengsheng felt his excitement had clouded his judgment. He turned around and ran towards the Yan Residence.

The Yan Residence was only a few streets away from the Changqing Trading Company, not far at all.

As he saw the gate of the Yan Residence from afar, Li Hengsheng’s heartbeat quickened.

Li Hengsheng had once dreamt of returning to Changting Town, of seeing Li Changqing. But back then, he was more afraid, afraid of Li Changqing’s drunken state, afraid of his father’s constant demands for money.

But now it was different.

Now, Li Hengsheng just wanted to appear in front of Li Changqing and surprise him.

And then give his father a hug.

“Who goes there?”

When Li Hengsheng and Yang Tiantian arrived at the gate of the Yan Residence, they were stopped by the guards.

“Li Hengsheng from Dao Mountain Ancient Land,” Li Hengsheng looked at the guard and politely said, “I’m here to see my father.”

Upon hearing that Li Hengsheng was a disciple from Dao Mountain Ancient Land, the two guards immediately bowed respectfully.

“Who is your father?” the guard asked cautiously.

“Li Changqing,” Li Hengsheng replied.

“Hiss!”

The two guards’ faces changed. The man in front of them was the son of the Grand Steward?

The news quickly reached Yan Botao’s ears.

“What? The Grand Steward’s son is here?” Yan Botao was also taken aback. Why hadn’t Li Hengsheng mentioned his visit to Changting Town earlier?

Some people die, but they are not completely dead…
