“The Sect Leader is back!”

The high-ranking members of Dao Mountain Ancient Land all showed excited expressions.

With the return of the Sect Leader, everything would be settled, and they wouldn’t have to worry about the Su Family causing trouble again.

Luo Xiaochuan was the stabilizing force of Dao Mountain Ancient Land. As long as he was there, they felt that any problem could be solved. So when Luo Xiaochuan’s Heavenly Staff appeared, even in front of the powerful Su Zheng from the Su Family, no one in Dao Mountain Ancient Land was afraid anymore.

This made the people of Dao Mountain Ancient Land stand tall and firm.

Su Zheng’s gaze also swept around.

However, after a while, Luo Xiaochuan still did not appear, only his Heavenly Staff was stuck in the ground.

“It seems that Luo Xiaochuan has not returned.” Su Zheng said calmly.

The person did not return, but his weapon did.

What did this mean?

Was it a show of force to his Su Family?

“The Sect Leader will return in two days. If Brother Su is willing, you can wait in our Dao Mountain Ancient Land. The specific matters will be decided after the Sect Leader returns.”

“If Brother Su is impatient and wants to flex his muscles in our Dao Mountain Ancient Land, why not let me accompany you? After all, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a good workout.”

At this moment, a voice drifted from the void.

This voice was very unfamiliar, even most of the thirty-six Peak Masters of Dao Mountain Ancient Land had never heard it before.

They looked at each other, wondering who was speaking?

However, as soon as this person’s voice came out, Su Zheng’s eyes widened, and a strong sense of dread flashed in his eyes.

“No need, let’s go.”

Without wasting any words, Su Zheng turned around with Su Xianci and left, directly riding the clouds away. Su Xianci didn’t understand what had happened, why his fourth grandfather suddenly took him away.

This action left everyone else in shock. What was going on?

Who was speaking?

Why did Su Zheng seem so fearful upon hearing this voice, and immediately left?

“Everyone, we at Dao Mountain Ancient Land are very sorry for today’s events, but I’m afraid today’s tea party cannot continue.” Zhou Tienan stepped forward and said, “Please stay in our Dao Mountain Ancient Land for the night and leave tomorrow.”

“No, Elder Zhou, since your sect has matters to attend to, we won’t bother you any longer. We’ll leave first.”

“Yes, yes, we also have some matters to handle in our clan. It’s better to go back and deal with them earlier.” Another clan leader also stepped forward and politely said.

Even though they were almost poisoned today, who dared to show dissatisfaction?

Even if they were really poisoned, who would dare to seek revenge from Dao Mountain Ancient Land?

Everyone could tell these were polite words, so they all quickly came forward to say their goodbyes.

They also knew that this incident almost caused a disaster. Someone had poisoned the tea in Dao Mountain Ancient Land, and they would definitely have to investigate.

“I’m sorry.” Zhou Tienan said with a bow.

After respectfully sending everyone away from Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Zhou Tienan’s face looked even worse.

He had originally planned to hold a celebration to showcase the current strength of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

But he didn’t expect that not only did the Su Family come to cause trouble, but there was also a poisoning incident. This was like a few hard stomps on the face of Dao Mountain Ancient Land!

“Thoroughly investigate!”

Zhou Tienan roared in anger, “Wu Wenying, you lead the Law Enforcement Peak to investigate!”

“Other peaks should also self-examine, especially the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters.”

“Yes!”

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire Dao Mountain Ancient Land became extremely tense.

It seemed that today, Zhou Tienan was determined to find out who this ‘Xue Ye’ from the Longevity Sect was.

“Elder Zhou is really angry.”

Li Jinsong said to Li Hengsheng, who was standing next to him, “But I didn’t expect the Sect Leader to return in two days. That’s good news. Even if we can’t catch the mole from the Longevity Sect, once the Sect Leader returns, we can easily find him.”

“Will the mole definitely be found when the Sect Leader returns?” Li Hengsheng looked at Li Jinsong curiously. This Sect Leader was so awesome, and today, even though he wasn’t here, he threw his weapon back to keep the situation under control?

He was indeed a tough guy.

“The Sect Leader’s ability is not something ordinary people can compare to. As long as the Sect Leader returns, the mole from the Longevity Sect will definitely be exposed.” Li Jinsong said confidently.

It seemed that Li Jinsong also admired Luo Xiaochuan.

“Pavilion Master Li, who was the person speaking just now? Even Su Zheng seemed to fear him.” Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask.

“He’s the old ancestor of our Dao Mountain Ancient Land.” Li Jinsong said calmly, “But not many people in Dao Mountain Ancient Land know about him.”

“Dao Mountain Ancient Land has an old ancestor?” Li Hengsheng was surprised to hear this.

“Yes, the Elder Council directly obeys the old ancestor. Otherwise, why do you think the elders at the Innate Completion Stage are superior to the Vice Sect Leader, Xue Qianbai?” Li Jinsong smiled. Perhaps even Su Zheng from the Su Family didn’t know that the old ancestor of Dao Mountain Ancient Land was still alive.

But after today, this secret would no longer be a secret.

Li Hengsheng was still shocked.

He had thought that after becoming a direct disciple, he had seen through the situation in Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

But he didn’t expect that there was still a mysterious old ancestor hidden in Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

The strength of Dao Mountain Ancient Land was truly unfathomable!

If it weren’t for this mysterious old ancestor today, it wouldn’t have been so easy to end the situation with just the Sect Leader’s Heavenly Staff.

The entire Dao Mountain Ancient Land was in self-examination, making everyone uneasy.

Even Yang Tiantian and Zhou Jun were assigned to investigate the disciples of Mu Haifeng, to see who had the ability and opportunity to come into contact with the Spirit Heart Spring or the tea leaves. Li Hengsheng originally wanted to help, but was stopped by Li Jinsong, who told him to stay obediently in the Floating Image Pavilion, or go back to Qingyu Mountain, and not to get involved in this matter.

Li Hengsheng nodded in agreement.

The disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters were the main suspects.

Li Hengsheng followed Li Jinsong back to the Floating Image Pavilion, where Li Jinsong found a book for him to read about the Soul Devouring Grass.

Naturally, Li Hengsheng also wanted to find Xue Ye.

Otherwise, his personal safety would always be a problem.

It wasn’t until Li Hengsheng read about the characteristics of the Soul Devouring Grass that he suddenly thought of someone.

Could it be him?

No way?

“Pavilion Master Li, I’m going back first.” Li Hengsheng put down the book and left directly.

Although he had suspicions in his heart, Li Hengsheng did not make a direct judgment because there was no evidence yet.

Back on Qingyu Mountain, Li Hengsheng resumed his cultivation as if nothing had happened today.

Just after an hour of practice, Xu Kui came over and said to Li Hengsheng, “Wu Santong is here.”

“He’s here?”

Li Hengsheng nodded and let Wu Santong in.

“Brother Li.” Wu Santong walked in, saw that Li Hengsheng’s face didn’t look good, and asked in surprise, “Is it because of the poisoning today?”

“Yeah, a good celebration turned out like this.” Li Hengsheng said casually.

“Junior Brother Wu, do you need something?” Li Hengsheng asked curiously.

“It’s about Xu Yueyue again. I heard about it, so I wanted to tell you. If you’re not in the mood, I’ll come back another day.” Wu Santong quickly said.

“You say.” Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to Xu Yueyue? The Xu family is now the agent of the Changqing Trading Company, there shouldn’t be any problems, right? Did the Xu family come to trouble them again?”

That shouldn’t be the case.

Does the Xu family have such courage?

“No.” Wu Santong laughed, “It was Brother Nan Haofei who brought a few disciples to Wanguan City a few days ago and crippled the Xu family. Xu Long was beaten, and his son Xu Jingqi’s hands were crippled. It was terrible.”

“Huh?”

Li Hengsheng was a bit stunned, “Why? What grudge does Nan Haofei have with the Xu family?”

“Hehe.” Wu Santong laughed, “It seems that Brother Li doesn’t know. After Nan Haofei lost the bet with you, he went to the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters to carry water for a month. But Nan Haofei insisted on doing things thoroughly, so he wore a mask, hid his identity, and pretended to be a new disciple of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters, wanting to fully experience the life of a disciple of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters.”

“As you can imagine, Nan Haofei was bullied terribly by the disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters. Nan Haofei almost couldn’t help but fight back, but thinking that he was currently a menial disciple, he endured it all. He even said at the time, ‘Li Hengsheng has lived through this, why can’t I!’”

“Who knew that he would meet Xu Yueyue at this time. Xu Yueyue thought he was a new junior brother, and took extra care of Nan Haofei. When Nan Haofei was in the darkest time of his life, Xu Yueyue gave him hope…”

“Alright, alright.” Li Hengsheng couldn’t listen anymore and quickly said, “That’s enough, it’s too melodramatic. So Nan Haofei fell in love with Xu Yueyue? And then he heard about the Xu family being bullied by the Xu family, so he brought people to make a scene at the Xu family’s place?”

“Yes.” Wu Santong nodded.

“This Nan Haofei, he’s still like a child.” Li Hengsheng laughed and shook his head.

But Nan Haofei falling in love with Xu Yueyue was something Li Hengsheng hadn’t expected.

That little prince who looked down on everyone had actually fallen in love.

“Alright, I got it.” Li Hengsheng nodded.

“By the way, wasn’t Mu Haifeng supposed to self-investigate today? Have you been investigated?” Li Hengsheng asked curiously.

“Yes, Brother Zhou Jun investigated.” Wu Santong laughed, “Actually, there’s nothing to investigate about us disciples of Mu Haifeng. We’re all clean. We can’t touch the tea leaves or the Spirit Heart Spring. Although we were the ones serving the guests today, it wasn’t a disciple who poured the tea and put the tea leaves, so we’re not suspects.”

“But the disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters are in trouble. Because the things were stored on the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters, the investigation on them is extremely strict, from the disciples to the elders, they were all thoroughly investigated.” Wu Santong said mysteriously, “I heard when I came here, although they haven’t found out who the mole is yet, they have found a lot of embezzlement.”

“They found a lot of fragrant tea and even pre-made dishes in their residences, and they have been dealt with seriously now.”

Li Hengsheng was not surprised at all.

He knew that many disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters were not clean, after all, he had been on the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters for so many years.

As long as they were investigated, traces could be found, but no one had ever investigated them.

But now they were all exposed.

After sending Wu Santong away, Li Hengsheng stood at the gate and could still feel that the entire Dao Mountain Ancient Land was still in this tense atmosphere.

He didn’t know whether the Su family had really left or not, and all thirty-six peaks were on high alert.

They were busy until the next morning and still hadn’t found any traces of the spy from the Longevity Sect.

The masters of the thirty-six peaks gathered together and were called for a meeting by the elder group.

They also shared the information about the spy from the Longevity Sect with everyone.

The spy ‘Xue Ye’.

He had been lurking in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land for a very long time.

At present, this was the only information they had.

Even Xu Muhai was troubled.Xu Muhai originally thought that Xue Ye would target Li Hengsheng this time. However, to his surprise, Xue Ye did not seek trouble with Li Hengsheng. Instead, he planned to poison the feast at the Dao Mountain Ancient Land celebration.

What exactly is their purpose?

In the morning, just after Li Hengsheng had finished his meal, he saw Zhou Jun, who looked as tired as a dead dog, arrive at Qingyu Mountain.

“Fourth Brother, I’m about to die from exhaustion,” Zhou Jun said to Li Hengsheng with a look of resentment. “Why is it so unfair?”

“Why is it that as disciples of Mu Haifeng, my second senior sister, even my eldest senior brother and I have to work all night, but you can sleep soundly on Qingyu Mountain?” Zhou Jun questioned Li Hengsheng almost tearfully.

Li Hengsheng poured a pot of tea for Zhou Jun with a smile, and then said cheerfully, “I can’t help it. I want to help you guys, but my senior brother said that the spy from the Longevity Sect might be targeting me. If I go out and get busy, they might attack me. So, I can only stay at home.”

“The master is biased towards you,” Zhou Jun said with a gloomy face.

“Alright, don’t be so depressed,” Li Hengsheng laughed. “After tossing and turning all night, did you find anything?”

“Found nothing,” Zhou Jun said irritably. “Not a single clue!”

“That damned spy is hiding too deep,” Zhou Jun sighed.

“Come to Sanjun Peak tonight and have a few drinks with me. I still have two bottles of good wine,” Zhou Jun invited.

“I guess you wouldn’t want to come empty-handed. Just get two spirit chickens from the second senior sister,” Zhou Jun said with anticipation.

Li Hengsheng: “……”

I knew you couldn’t spit out ivory from your dog’s mouth.

But seeing Zhou Jun in such a state, Li Hengsheng had no choice but to say, “Alright, I’ll bring the spirit chickens to your Sanjun Peak tonight to replenish your energy.”

“Also, I have something to discuss with you tonight,” Li Hengsheng said seriously.

“What is it?”

“About the spy from the Longevity Sect, I might know who it is. I’m just not sure. Let’s analyze it tonight.”

“Uh,” Zhou Jun nodded dumbly.
