Chapter 686: Old Knowledge
The white-haired old man heard the words, turned his head and looked at the woman who was talking, puffed his beard and glared, and said: "Nonsense, grandpa is famous for his good temper, how could he be angry with others!"
The purple girl curled her lips, obviously not believing her grandpa's nonsense.
Then, she walked around the crowd and looked curiously at Duan Qing and Hu Yanheng in front of the white-haired old man, wanting to know who her grandpa was arguing with.
The moment she saw Duan Qing, her face suddenly showed ecstasy, and she looked at Duan Qing with surprise.
"Brother Duan!"
"It's been a long time since we last met, I hope you are well, Brother Lin!" Duan Qing looked at Lin Ziyu with a smile.
It's naturally worth being happy to meet old friends again.
As early as the moment Lin Ziyu spoke, he recognized Lin Ziyu's voice.
The two have been separated for about two years. The domineering girl Lin Ziyu back then has now lost her youthfulness and is even more charming.
"All right, all right. I never thought I could meet Daoist Duan again here!" Lin Ziyu took a few steps in the air and flew to Duan Qing, looking at Duan Qing with shining eyes.
Lin Ziyu's burning eyes made Duan Qing feel a little uncomfortable.
He smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, let me introduce Daoist Lin to Daoist Hu Yan from Wuxiang Sect. We two have come to your sect to help!"
"Aren't you a Shinto disciple? Why don't you come with the Shinto Sect team, but go with the people of Wuxiang Sect?" Lin Ziyu casually looked at Hu Yanheng and asked Duan Qing curiously.
"It's a long story. I'll explain it to Daoist Lin later!"
Duan Qing said, and then asked Lin Ziyu: "From what Daoist Lin said, has my Shinto Sect team arrived at your sect?"
Lin Ziyu nodded. "It's been a few days! The leader is Elder Mo Chongzhi of your sect."
Mo Chongzhi!
Duan Qing frowned slightly.
Mo Chongzhi is Mo Jian's father, one of the three law enforcement elders of the Shinto Sect.
Although he has never dealt with Mo Chongzhi, he and his son Mo Jian have a deep conflict!
"Boy, are you coming from Diling City? What's the situation over there?" At this time, Lin Ziyu's grandfather, the white-haired old man, interrupted.
Duan Qing came back to his senses, sighed heavily, and briefly explained the situation in Diling City.
After listening to Duan Qing's explanation, everyone present was shocked except Hu Yanheng.
Lin Ziyu even exclaimed: "How is it possible? Your sect also came from Diling City and said that there was nothing unusual in Diling City! It's only been a few days, how could such a change happen!"
Duan Qing felt very strange when he heard Lin Ziyu's words.
If what Lin Ziyu said was true, when Mo Chongzhi and others passed through Diling City a few days ago, Diling City really had no abnormalities.
In other words, Diling City has only fallen into a ghost town in recent days.
In just a few days, it turned from a mortal city into a complete ghost city. For Diling City, which is hundreds of miles in size, it seems a bit fast.
And those extremely powerful red-eyed ghosts are estimated to be cultivated in more than a few days!
The Shinto Sect was fine when they passed through Diling City, but when the support teams from other sects arrived one after another, they were surrounded by ghosts!
Is all this just a coincidence?
"No wonder the Taoist friends from other sects have not arrived yet, it turns out that such a thing happened!" The white-haired old man shook his head and sighed.
"Senior, I have something unclear. Since your sect knows that the support teams from other sects must pass through Diling City, why don't you send people to guard it?" Duan Qing asked puzzledly.
The white-haired old man shook his head. "Currently, there are chaos everywhere in Lingzhou, especially in the northern part of Lingzhou. My Five Elements Sect is short of manpower, but it is unable to take care of Diling City in the middle!"
Duan Qing frowned even more tightly.
It seems that the situation in Lingzhou is worse than he imagined!
Thinking of this, Duan Qing couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, what is the current situation in Lingzhou?"
The white-haired old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Duan Qing lightly, but did not explain.
"Let's go back to the sect first!"
After that, the white-haired old man took the lead and led a group of Five Elements Sect members to fly to the Five Elements Mountain.
Duan Qing had no choice but to make a gesture to Hu Yanheng beside him and followed the white-haired old man.
On the way, Lin Ziyu took the opportunity to introduce the white-haired old man to Duan Qing.
His name is Lin Qiuhuan, an elder of the Five Elements Sect, and Lin Ziyu's grandfather.
After listening to Lin Ziyu's introduction, Duan Qing remembered that Lin Qiuheng mentioned that the black-robed man who escaped was the culprit of the ghost chaos.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing couldn't help but ask Lin Ziyu through voice transmission: "Fellow Daoist Lin, what is the identity of the black-robed man just now!"
Lin Ziyu did not hide this matter, and immediately explained it to Duan Qing through voice transmission.
It turned out that a day ago, a ghost riot broke out in the Five Elements City under the Five Elements Mountain.
In order to quell the chaos in the Five Elements City as soon as possible, the Five Elements Sect asked Lin Qiuheng to lead a group of Five Elements Sect disciples to eliminate the ghosts in the Five Elements City.
Unexpectedly, they met a black-robed man in the city, who was transforming mortals into ghosts and doing perverse things.
In recent days, ghost riots have broken out in mortal cities all over Lingzhou. The Five Elements Sect has long suspected that someone is secretly making trouble behind the scenes.
The black-robed man encountered in the Five Elements City undoubtedly confirmed this speculation.
Lin Qiuheng originally planned to capture the black-robed man and force him to tell the truth.
But he didn't expect the black-robed man to be so fast that he couldn't catch up.
In the end, because Duan Qing and Hu Yanheng stood by and watched, they lost the only chance to catch the black-robed man!
After listening to Lin Ziyu's explanation, Duan Qing fell into deep thought.
If things are really as Lin Ziyu said, the black-robed man before may really be the culprit of the Lingzhou ghost chaos.
Even if he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he must be related to this chaos!
Thinking of this, Duan Qing couldn't help but regret that he didn't try to stop it before.
At the same time, he felt very puzzled.
Along the way, he found that there were still many mortal cities in Lingzhou, and no ghost chaos broke out.
Why didn't the black-robed man go to other cities, but came to the Five Elements City under the eyes of the Five Elements Sect!
He took such a risk, isn't he afraid of losing his life?
Duan Qing put himself in his shoes and thought that if it were him, he would definitely not take such a risk.
He really couldn't figure out why the black-robed man did this.
Duan Qing didn't bother to think about it anymore.
If the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up, why should he worry about these things.
All he had to do now was to hand over the things entrusted by Hua Ying to Shui Daozi, the leader of the Five Elements Sect, and fulfill his promise to Hua Ying.
The rest had nothing to do with him.
You have to know that he still had to rush back to the Shinto Sect as soon as possible to send Xue Wanyun the talisman that could break the Wuxiang Seal.
As for the ghost chaos in Lingzhou, let others worry about it.
Anyway, the support team of the Shinto Sect had already arrived, and the support team led by Lu Gong and Wan Bujiu would not stay in Diling City for too long.
He didn't think that the more than one hundred red-eyed ghosts would eventually stop the two of them.
Even if the large army suffered casualties in the end, some people would be left to arrive at the Five Elements Sect.
With the support teams of various sects and the power of the Five Elements Sect itself, it should not be difficult to quell this ghost chaos.
