Daoist Priest Fuqing

This is Dinggui Mountain.

Zhenke rode her sword all the way, and after passing through layers of clouds and mist, she finally arrived at the Dinggui Mountain.

Seeing the swirling clouds and mist before him, and the rising sun slowly in the distance, he noticed a large stone tablet in front of him inscribed with "Dinggui Mountain," and then he understood.

This place is Dinggui Mountain.

"Zhenke, a cultivator from the Great Qian Jade Willow Mountain, has come to pay his respects."

Zhenke spoke loudly, and as soon as her voice fell, several cultivators took to the air.

Upon seeing Zhenke before them, the several blue-robed cultivators who stepped forward couldn't help but smile. "Greetings, fellow Daoist. We've heard that the Great Qian Dynasty has just been established; congratulations indeed!"

"If there's nothing else, you can spend more time cultivating in our mountains."

With the establishment of a new dynasty, cultivators could then withdraw from worldly affairs and retreat to the mountains to cultivate.

This is something to be happy about for any cultivator in any sect.

After all, cultivators don't really enjoy fighting and killing; being able to hide in the mountains and cultivate is already a blessing.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. However, I have come here with important business to discuss with the elders of my sect. I wonder if any of the seniors in the mountains are here?"

Upon seeing the fellow Daoists before her, Zhenke greeted them politely before inquiring about the situation in the mountains.

"Of course, fellow Daoist. Since you have urgent business, please follow me."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator from Dinggui Mountain quickly agreed and then led the way for Zhenke to follow.

Zhenke made a hand seal and put away the flying sword at her feet.

This scene left the fellow Dinggui Mountain, who were standing nearby, momentarily stunned.

Is this some new Divine Ability power? Sword Riding Technique?

I hadn't looked closely before, but now I realize that this cultivator from the Great Qian Dynasty actually arrived by flying on a sword.

In their memory, the cultivators of Great Qian didn't seem to have a very smooth cultivation process.

In terms of strength, the cultivators of Northern Liang should naturally be superior.

They knew that this state of affairs was entirely due to the hardships endured by the cultivators of Great Qian.

The Historical Records of the Immortal Sects contain accounts of the chaos of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, seeing this cultivator from the Great Qian, with his Sword Riding Technique and the flying sword entering his sleeve, stirred some thoughts in the hearts of several cultivators.

Could it be that the cultivators of the Great Qian have all made significant progress in their cultivation?

I've only heard that the Daoist practitioners of the Great Qian Dynasty still only have two generations of cultivators?

Generally speaking, one can judge the strength of a sect's cultivators by observing how many generations of cultivators they have been in.

If a cultivator has high cultivation, they can naturally protect the sect's cultivators and ensure the safety of its many disciples.

vice versa.

With a slight thought flashing through her mind, the cultivators led Zhenke to the front of the main hall.

Before the cultivators could even speak, a voice rang out from within the hall, "Is it fellow cultivators from the Great Qian Dynasty? Please invite them in."

A gentle voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, the Dinggui Mountain immediately responded, then nodded to Zhenke and led her into the main hall.

Inside the main hall, an old Daoist priest with white hair and eyebrows sat in front, holding a whisk in his hand.

If Fang Zelin were here, he would probably exclaim in surprise upon seeing this old Daoist priest, for the old Daoist priest looked remarkably like the Daoist Priest Qingwei.

With his kind and serene face and otherworldly demeanor, he instantly inspires a sense of closeness in anyone who sees him.

"Junior Zhenke greets Daoist Master Fuqing."

When Zhenke arrived, she already knew that the Daoist priest of Dinggui Mountain was Fuqing.

"Yes, the Great Qian cultivators have indeed produced a remarkable junior; congratulations!"

Daoist Master Fuqing stroked his beard, looking at Zhenke with kind eyes, his voice extremely gentle.

Hearing Daoist Master Fuqing's praise, Zhenke couldn't help but smile.

However, upon remembering the purpose of his visit, the smile on his face faded somewhat.

"Senior, this junior has come this time..."

Zhenke paused slightly, unable to continue, and after a moment's thought, took a deep breath.

He took the bodies of his two fellow Daoists from his sleeve and placed them in front of the main hall.

"Senior Brother Chunyun, Junior Brother Danyan!"

The cultivator who had followed them in hadn't even left when he suddenly saw two corpses on the ground. Upon closer inspection, he recognized them as his fellow disciples.

His expression changed instantly.

Upon seeing the miserable state of his two fellow disciples, his face turned ashen.

The bond between fellow disciples is naturally extremely strong.

Now, seeing his two fellow disciples being so brutally murdered, he felt extremely indignant.

Upon witnessing this scene, Daoist Master Fuqing's expression changed slightly, and he immediately closed his eyes, seemingly to conceal the sorrow within.

After a moment, Daoist Master Fuqing slowly opened his eyes and got up to come to him.

He then gently tidied the clothes of the two corpses.

His clothes were already very neat, but Daoist Master Fuqing was still gently tidying them up.

After a long pause, he waved his hand and said, "Take the bodies of the two disciples away."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Dinggui Mountain responded softly, their faces still etched with sorrow as they carried the two corpses away.

"How did my two disciples perish?"

Daoist Master Fuqing turned to look at Zhenke was standing to the side.

Since a disciple of his own sect had died, he, as the sect leader, had to find out the reason.

"This junior is ashamed. Our two fellow Daoists perished outside Zhen'an Pass in the Great Qian Dynasty. We received their distress message and rushed there, only to find that both cultivators had already perished. We have been investigating all this time, but we still do not know how our two fellow Daoists fell."

"It was yesterday that I heard that some demons were secretly plotting against the Northern Liang, so I hurriedly came to Dinggui Mountain."

"The matter concerning the two fellow Daoists may be somewhat related to this."

Zhenke recounted in detail what she and Fang Zelin had investigated together.

Upon hearing Daoist Master Fuqing, Master Fuqing's long eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Is a demon plotting against the Northern Liang? If so, we should be somewhat worried.

Although the Northern Liang were quite strong, the fact that they dared to do this meant they must have some confidence.

Otherwise, how could they possibly do such a thing?

"In that case, thank you both, fellow Daoists."

Fuqing cupped his hands in thanks, even though Zhenke was right in front of him.

But the other party just said that they came to investigate with another fellow Daoist.

In that case, I should naturally thank the two of them.

"This junior is ashamed. The two fellow Daoists encountered their misfortune in the Great Qian, and we were unable to save them."

Upon hearing the other person thank her, Zhenke quickly spoke up.

It's already somewhat unacceptable that the perpetrator hasn't been found even now, given that something happened there.

Daoist Master Fuqing, however, did not think so. "Since you have come, fellow Daoist, you should stay at Dinggui Mountain for a while. What you have said will need to be discussed with other Daoists later."
