Chapter 514: Chapter 47 Wendao Bell, Three Channels Gather Together
“Where did that box of elixirs go?”
After interrogating Ning Shi, Li Fei returned to his room, still pondering this question.
Although the Qingxu True Monarch had already announced that Daluo Sect would close its mountain for ten years, this was his explanation to the court, to the Emperor.
It seemed that this incident was about to come to an end.
But since he had such a coincidental dream, Li Fei wanted to clarify the truth of this incident as much as possible.
What if he had already been involved?
If he did not take the initiative to face it, he may not even know how he would die in the end!
Moreover, often times, if you possess a truth that others do not, that itself is a precious resource, perhaps also a rare opportunity.
From the information currently available, the box Ai Liangshan received from Qingxu True Monarch did contain elixirs, but it was empty when he was attacked.
Ning Shi was a dying man, there was no need for him to lie.
So, during this process, were the elixirs quietly stolen?
Afterward, True Man Qingding told Ning Shi and others that he had changed his mind temporarily and had not placed the elixirs in the box.
The contradictions appeared, was there really a need for this just for a box of false pills?
Thus, Li Fei was sure that there was something wrong with that box of elixirs.
Unfortunately, he could not find any clues for the time being.
Following the inquiry by the officials of Zhi Ge Pavilion in an ‘orderly’ manner, after thinking in his room, Li Fei decided to go out and find someone.
“Hello, I would like to see True Woman Qingxia.”
“True Woman Qingxia has returned to Luoxia Peak.”
“Please take me there.”
Li Fei had a Daluo Sect disciple lead him to look for True Woman Qingxia on Luoxia Peak.
Today in Taixu Hall, True Woman Qingxia also expressed her doubts about the death of Ai Liangshan. Considering Ai Liangshan was her disciple, Li Fei wanted to talk with her.
Soon, under the guidance of the Daluo disciple, he arrived at the chain section between Daluo Peak and Luoxia Peak.
“Is this how you usually travel?”
Li Fei asked, looking at the chains enveloped in mist.
“Yes, this is the daily practice for us disciples of the Daluo Sect.”
The leading disciple said proudly:
Li Fei, naturally not afraid to cross the chain, quickly entered the mist with the Daluo Sect disciple.
Standing thousands of feet above, with mountain winds howling and clouds rolling,
Li Fei looked down at his feet and suddenly thought:
“What if I were to fall right now? How many Blood Souls would have to be in the Myriad Blood Pearl to possibly survive the fall?”
Thinking thus, he soon crossed the chain and arrived at Luoxia Peak.
Compared to Daluo Peak, Luoxia Peak had visibly more flora, with colorful flowers visible everywhere.
Other than that, there were many more female disciples; Li Fei saw quite a few along his way.
Moreover, the disciples of Luoxia Peak, whether male or female, all had smiles on their faces and seemed very relaxed and comfortable.
From this, it seemed that True Woman Qingxia ran a lenient governance over her disciples. Combining this with her words today in the Great Hall, Li Fei thought she must be a good teacher and perhaps very protective of her disciples.
He arrived at the entrance of a courtyard under the lead of the same Daluo disciple.
“This imperial envoy wants to see True Woman Qingxia.”
The leading disciple told a female disciple in the courtyard.
The female disciple went inside to report and soon came out again, looking at Li Fei:
“Please come inside, sir.”
Li Fei followed her into the courtyard and saw True Woman Qingxia in a great hall.
“Greetings, True Woman Qingxia.”
Li Fei did not put on airs of an imperial envoy and proactively greeted her.
True Woman Qingxia stood up to return the greeting: “Minister Li, please take a seat.”
Then a disciple brought them tea.
“Did Minister Li come to ask about the elixir incident?”
True Woman Qingxia took the initiative to speak, “Actually, I might not know more about it than you do, Minister Li might be disappointed by asking me.”
Li Fei looked at her: “But True Woman Qingxia must know more about True Man Qingding than I do; I want to ask about things related to him.”
True Woman Qingxia paused for a moment then slowly spoke: “Minister Li, what would you like to ask?”
“Today in the Great Hall, True Woman Qingxia, you were surprised that True Man Qingding could cover the heavens, preventing you from divining the outcome, right?”
“It was quite surprising, because True Man Qingding normally has not shown such methods.”
“Then, could it possibly be someone else helping him cover the heavens?”
Li Fei suddenly asked.
True Woman Qingxia smiled, looking at Li Fei: “It seems Minister Li has some speculations?”
Li Fei maintained his composure: “I am just making a reasonable conjecture.”
True Woman Qingxia shook her head:” Qing Ding entered the True Spirit Realm twenty years before me, and his cultivation is also above mine. It would be normal for him to secretly master some magic that could cover the heavens, making it impossible for me to divine.”
Li Fei nodded, then suddenly said:
“Could you tell me about Ai Liangshan?”
True Woman Qingxia was taken aback, then scoffed:
“Does Minister Li think someone specifically targeted him?”
“Ai was just a very ordinary disciple under my name, he knew nothing and was just innocently involved in this incident. In fact, sending him to fetch the elixir was my responsibility, and his death is also on my shoulders.”
Li Fei suddenly fell silent.
True Woman Qingxia waited a while, and seeing no response from Li Fei, she couldn’t help but speak:
Li Fei then came to his senses: “I apologize, I just suddenly thought of something.”
“True Woman thinks Ai Liangshan was completely unrelated to the incident, and he was just innocently involved?”
