Tian Ling'er and Song Daren were also very worried. They genuinely regarded Zhang Xiaofan, who had mastered most of the culinary skills of Dazhu Peak, as their junior brother.
So the group looked at Li Qing'an, hoping he could come up with an idea!
Li Qingan shrugged. "Do you think I'd tell you that I knew about this?"
"I'm going to take a look at the Jade Purity Palace."
He left a message and then headed towards the Jade Purity Hall.
A moment later, inside the Jade Purity Hall
Dao Xuan, Cang Song, and Tian Buyi sat at the top, while Li Qing'an stood to the side!
In the second act of Dao Xuan testing the mortal heart, Cang Song spoke first, "Zhang Xiaofan, where did you get this stick from!"
"This staff is clearly a blood-forged artifact exclusive to the Demonic Sect. This method is insidious and vicious. If you weren't taught this by someone else, how could you know this method!"
Unaware of what was going on, Tian Buyi slammed his hand on the table and stood up to defend Zhang Xiaofan:
"If Zhang Xiaofan were a member of the Demonic Sect, he would use it openly and honestly in the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament."
“You’ve also fought against the Demonic Sect. People from the Demonic Sect are inherently unpredictable,” Cangsong retorted.
Cangsong then gestured to Li Qingan and said:
"I think he's a spy planted by the Demonic Sect. Tian Buyi, you and your junior brother Li Qing'an are also responsible!"
"??"
Tian Buyi was completely bewildered. How could it be my fault?
He mistakenly thought that Cangsong wanted to take the opportunity to suppress him, and he was immediately enraged. His face flashed red, and he was about to attack Cangsong.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan heard that Li Qingan and Tian Buyi were going to be involved, and he immediately panicked.
He hurriedly kowtowed to Dao Xuan, and after several forceful thrusts, blood streamed from his forehead into his eyes, but he seemed oblivious, continuing to kowtow while repeatedly crying, "It has nothing to do with Senior Brother or Master, it has nothing to do with Senior Brother or Master..."
Tian Buyi's anger flared even more. When his disciples pleaded for him, a crimson light burst forth from his body, and he summoned Crimson Flame, pointing it at the pine tree.
Cangsong also stood up, thinking that this was a good opportunity to vent his anger for his senior brother Wan.
At that moment, Li Qingan suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Xiaofan and helped him up.
Then, out of sight of the others, he winked at Dao Xuan.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan had suffered all the injustices but remained silent, yet was at a loss when it came to Li Qing'an and the other two, Dao Xuan was already certain of what Li Qing'an had said.
Dao Xuan then slapped the armrest and reprimanded Cang Song and Tian Buyi, stopping their confrontation.
Cangsong knew from Daoxuan's gaze that the test was about to end, so he stopped talking and just flicked his sleeve and snorted at Tian Buyi.
Dao Xuan picked up the fire poker, examined it carefully, and then said, "Although this fire poker has a fierce aura, it is extremely restrained, unlike the demonic cult treasures I have seen before."
Dao Xuan first defended Zhang Xiaofan for a few moments, then passed the matter on to Li Qing'an, whom Zhang Xiaofan respected most:
“Li Qingan, you have read a great many books. You should also take a look at the origin of this magic weapon and see if it was taught to you by a demonic cultist.”
“Uncle Cangsong, Master Uncle, I think Xiaofan hasn’t come down the mountain for five years, so it shouldn’t be the teachings of the demonic sect.”
Li Qing'an first put down Zhang Xiaofan and said a few words in his defense, then pretended to look at the fire poker, and then feigned sudden realization, saying, "The 'Ten Chapters on Strange Treasures' records: There is a strange iron in the heavens, which fell into the nine netherworlds, and the ghostly fire of the netherworld burned the yin..."
Dao Xuan and the other two exchanged glances and continued listening to Li Qing'an's story.
Chapter 71: A Basic Understanding of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation! Heading to Mount Kongsang
After being helped up by Li Qing'an, Zhang Xiaofan neither kowtowed again nor wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes.
His eyes, however, were filled with guilt and regret as he looked at Li Qing'an, who was defending him.
"According to my observation, the shape of this stick has changed for some reason, but it should be this strange iron. Moreover, the power of this stick is comparable to that of the Immortal-Gazing Staff in my hand, and its power is extremely great."
Even with the Demonic Sect's resources, it's impossible for them to deliver this item to us so easily. Therefore, this disciple believes that this staff is a fortuitous encounter Xiao Fan obtained at the Qingyun Sect, truly a blessing from the Qingyun Sect's past patriarchs!
At the end, Li Qingan returned the greeting with a gift!
Seeing that Li Qingan's words were reasonable and well-founded, Tian Buyi breathed a sigh of relief.
I feel like I've already passed this hurdle.
Dao Xuan and Cang Song also tacitly stopped talking, pretending to be thinking.
After a while.
Dao Xuan looked down at Zhang Xiaofan, who had been waiting for judgment, stood with one hand behind his back, and slowly said:
"Zhang Xiaofan, since what your senior brother said makes sense, we will not pursue the source of your blood-refined item. You are also ranked among the top four in the Seven Veins Martial Arts Tournament, so you should go down the mountain with your senior brother to gain experience and live up to the kindness of our Qingyun Sect in nurturing you."
"Yes."
Seeing that he was unharmed, Zhang Xiaofan was grateful and, being able to go down the mountain with his senior brother for training, immediately agreed.
"After you take this, you may leave to make your preparations."
Dao Xuan raised a finger and placed the fire stick in front of Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan and Li Qingan then withdrew, and Tian Buyi, seeing that there was nothing for him to do, also left.
Only Dao Xuan and Cang Song remained.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, what if Zhang Xiaofan finds out about our scheme later?" Cangsong asked.
"Why worry? We didn't fabricate this story; we were just adding fuel to the fire," Dao Xuan said, shaking his head.
He felt no burden about it at all, and even if Zhang Xiaofan found out later, he would have nothing to say.
After all, Dao Xuan was giving him a chance.
"What if Zhang Xiaofan possesses a Tianyin Temple technique? What if it's exposed?"
"Did I force Tianyin Temple to spread it?"
Dao Xuan said again, "Who hasn't been young before?"
I've finally got a chance to have a good son for my family, and as long as I'm in the right, I don't care who you are.
I, Dao Xuan, am only considering the overall situation for the sake of Qingyun Sect.
But the leakage of your Tianyin Temple's teachings was not my doing.
I also feel very guilty, but you want me to punish my disciples without reason because of your Tianyin Temple's affairs?
Excuse me, I have a little knowledge of the Zhuxian Sword Technique of the Qingyun Sect. I don't know if your Tianyin Temple can withstand it.

Dazhufeng, Shoujing Hall
"If it weren't for your quick thinking, Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother would be in trouble." Tian Buyi looked at Li Qing'an and felt relieved, but Zhang Xiaofan's dull appearance annoyed him.
Li Qingan shook his head and didn't say anything.
He was also the mastermind behind today's scene, so he naturally had thought about how to say it.
"Thank you, Master and Senior Brother." Zhang Xiaofan looked at the two people in front of him and said with heartfelt gratitude.
"Alright, alright, since it's over, I'm too lazy to ask you anymore." Tian Buyi didn't want to say anything more, but only asked Li Qingan when he would go down the mountain to train.
Li Qingan replied, "Three days later!"
.........
Time flies, and a few days later
Tongtian Peak, inside the Yuqing Hall
Inside the hall, only Dao Xuan and Li Qing'an remained, while Lu Xueqi, Qi Hao, and the other two had just left the hall and were waiting outside.
"With you accompanying me on this trip to Kongsang Mountain, there should be no worries!" Dao Xuan said to Li Qing'an.
"However, when my disciple Xiao Yicai was investigating the Kui Niu you mentioned a year ago, the Demonic Sect made some unusual moves at Liubo Mountain in the East Sea."
"What does the sect leader mean?"
Li Qing'an looked at Dao Xuanwen with a happy expression.
Judging from the original schedule, the battle at Liubo Mountain will probably have to be brought forward quite a bit!
It just so happens that there are still two people in the East China Sea whose names are on his grudge list that he hasn't forgotten.
Fengyue Laozu, Kui Niu!
Although it's a bit of a stretch for him to think he can kill the Kui Niu, who is almost half a step into the Taiqing realm, with his current strength at the second level of the Shangqing realm, it's still worth watching the Ghost King deal with it.
Once he breaks through to the Taiqing Realm, it will be a piece of cake!
"You and the other three resolve the matter at Kongsang Mountain, then head straight to Liubo Mountain. I have arrangements there," Dao Xuan said, standing up and looking at Li Qing'an.
"Yes," Li Qingan replied.
Outside the hall at this time.
Lu Xueqi looked at the palace gate with anticipation in her eyes.
She still remembered that five years ago, Li Qing'an at Wangyuetai promised to take her on a training trip.
Just as Lu Xueqi was eagerly waiting, Li Qingan also came out of the hall!
"Xueqi, take this Six Harmonies Mirror for self-defense."
He placed the Six Harmonies Mirror, which he hadn't used in a long time, into Lu Xueqi's hands.
She hesitated for a moment but accepted anyway, because if her safety was guaranteed, Li Qing'an wouldn't be distracted.
She then pointed to Xiao Luo on Li Qing'an's shoulder and asked for it.
Xiao Luo was also going with Li Qing'an; it had been bored out of its mind ever since it escaped the underwater formation.
However, the tortoise shell has extremely strong defensive capabilities.
Naturally, we should make the best use of everything.
Xiao Luo felt a surge of resentment and turned to look at Li Qing'an.
"Let's go!"
Li Qingan spoke to Qi Hao and Zhang Xiaofan, who had been waiting in the distance.
