It was Chongxu Zi’s disciple, Lingfeng Zi.
"This matter is becoming difficult to handle."
Cui Song’s brows drooped, "The Master has realized it and hinted in secret that the matter concerning Li Daoist and the others is unspeakable."
"First, the Sect Leader tested by saying he would personally visit, then that old eunuch imdiately showed weakness, willing to step back, reluctant to make a fuss, fearing that soone else might be pulling the strings."
"Word has it that for the struggle over the Princely Heir position, the Shu Prince Mansion has already been in a fierce fight, and likely soone among them dared to seek the Immortality Elixir and instructed the Salt Gang to do this."
Lingfeng Zi frowned and said, "Can’t we just tell the King Shu directly?"
Cui Song shook his head and said, "What kind of person is King Shu? Though he is elderly, his mind is not muddled; he probably knows and acts as if he doesn’t. Otherwise, how could the ’Ruyi Treasure Pearl’ erge?"
"The Master asked to take ’Ruyi Tea’, implying that the Dianyi Sect only has the power to protect itself and won’t rashly get involved."
"Quickly tell Li Daoist to leave as soon as possible!"
"Hmm."
Lingfeng Zi also knew the urgency of the situation, quickly wrote a secret letter, and tied it to the pigeon beside him.
Flap flap!
The pigeon flapped its wings and soared into the gloomy sky, flying towards the forest opposite Fuling City.
On the river, several navy warships were patrolling.
All the boats along the way were stopped and carefully searched.
On the warship, experts from the Captain Bureau stood, ard with swords, and so had Divine Fire Guns on their backs.
Moreover, there were so peculiar magicians beside them, exhibiting Divine Skills to probe.
And Li Yan and their ship had already been detained, tied with thick ropes to the riverbank, with a team of soldiers stationed and patrolling.
The pigeon flew through the dense forest and arrived at a valley.
In the valley were Li Yan and others.
Lv San whistled, and the pigeon imdiately landed.
Li Yan unfolded the secret letter, glanced over it, and imdiately shook his head, "As expected, the Shu Prince Mansion realized that the matter was exposed and wanted to cover it up, yet the ’Ruyi Treasure Pearl’ insists on pursuing it."
"Brother Yan, we can’t hand over this treasure again!"
Sha Lifei quickly spoke up, sneaking a glance to the side.
There, a Daoist reeking of alcohol, holding a wine gourd, continuously poured it into his mouth.
He was none other than Ezhou’s number one demon hunter, Wudang’s Yu Longzi.
After joining Wudang, Li Yan realized his position and incredible aptitude, comparable to Yu Chanzi. Had he not taken the Ascension Path, he would have been the next Master of Wudang.
Hearing Sha Lifei’s words, Yu Longzi chuckled, burped, and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, that thing has an owner, and the Shu Prince Mansion still harbors two old ghosts. I, a humble Daoist, have no desire to touch it."
"However, little friend, think carefully. Taking this item brings trouble."
"This item must be kept!"
Li Yan also nodded solemnly.
This thing could shield against Divine Skills detection, making it nothing short of a Divine Artifact for their team. Having painstakingly seized it, they saw no reason to hand it over.
With that, he clasped his hands and said, "I must also thank the senior for your help."
At that ti, when the Salt Gang attacked, the "Fast Ship Zhang" and their luggage were all seized on the boat.
Fortunately, Yu Longzi, who was visiting the Dianyi Sect, acted without a trace and brought everyone and everything out discreetly.
"Just a trivial matter..."
Yu Longzi waved his hand, "Regarding the Wushan affair, leave it be. Within at most half a year, it will be taken by the Mystical Sect."
"The Southwest battle is in full swing, and the Evil Dao in the Southwest is restless. Take utmost care in your journey."
With these words, he suddenly leaped up and landed on a nearby donkey, swaying unsteadily, quickly disappearing into the dense forest.
In the distance, a reminder echoed:
"Rember, in Shu land, strange people abound, never seek the truth for anything..."
