The Lingshan army stayed in Liangzhou City for another two days because the immortal sect demon cultivators who came to inquire about the news arrived faster than expected. Adhering to the principle of helping people to the end and sending Buddha to the west, Xuan Qingzi simply gathered everyone together, like holding a press conference, and gave everyone a unified answer.
The demon cultivators naturally wouldn't believe it. They firmly believed that the people of Qi Guan's family were still hiding something, and even had important information about the Demon God. However, the leaders of several peaks of Lingshan were stationed there, so those people didn't dare to oppose openly, and they just lurked around Qi Guan's family day and night.
On the surface, the people from the Immortal Sect all believed Xuan Qingzi's explanation and testimony, and stated that they would not make things difficult for the Qi family. But even after they dispersed, they still left one or two disciples in Liangzhou City.
Xuan Qingzi was helpless about this. After thinking it over, he proposed that the two brothers Qi Guanrui and Qi Guanxiang take Qi Guan Tianqi to Lingshan to avoid the limelight. Qi Guanxiang agreed, but Qi Guanrui declined.
He took out a letter and handed it to Xuan Qingzi, saying that he found it when he was packing up Qi Guanxiao's belongings. The letter was sent forty years ago, and the sender was none other than Chen Sanyi, the head of Yuling Palace. Xuan Qingzi's face changed drastically after reading it, and he immediately called the heads of the other four peaks and asked them to circulate the letter one by one.
He Qing also read the letter, but was not surprised by its contents.
Chen Sanyi wrote to say that he discovered Qi Guanxiao had taken away the monsters from under the Guangjing Mountains, and wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him in person.
He Qing guessed that Chen Sanyi must have sensed the situation of the other monsters through the monsters below the Yuling Palace, and thought he had found a fellow warrior, so he wanted to collude with Qi Guanxiao.
Even though the other leaders did not know that the Yuling Palace was learning the skills from the monsters, after reading the letter, they immediately realized that the people in the Yuling Palace had probably already tampered with the seal.
Qi Guanrui said: "I want to go to Yuling Palace and talk to Master Chen in detail."
Qi Guanrui has been very depressed these days, as if he had a heavy yoke hanging on his body. In addition, he has been working day and night to settle the people of Liangzhou City and actively deal with those immortal demon cultivators. After a few days, he has become much more depressed.
Xuan Qingzi folded the letter and said, "No, if the seal of Yuling Palace has really been moved, you will be in danger if you go and make it clear."
Qi Guanrui slumped his shoulders and said solemnly, "Although I don't know what Grandpa did, as a member of the Qi Guan family, I should shoulder this responsibility and find out whether Grandpa and Sect Leader Chen have any secret dealings."
He Qing put his hands in his pockets, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Chen Sanyi is a cunning man. Even if you find him, he may not tell you the truth."
"I have already thought about this," Qi Guanrui said, "Although my cultivation is not as good as my elder brother's, I can still tell a thing or two. This time when I go to the Yuling Palace, I can also find a way to get close to the seal and determine whether it has been tampered with. At that time, I will definitely fight to the death to pass the news back to you."
He Qing looked at Qi Guanrui and felt that what he said was from the bottom of his heart. As a selfish person, he couldn't help but admire him.
Xuan Qingzi pondered for a moment and gave a suggestion: "Let me go. After all, the seal will have to be explored sooner or later. You don't have to take any risks."
Chong Ying reminded, "But if there is an accident in the seal in the northern border, you will also need to be in charge. According to the date, Ling Feng will be here soon." Then he looked at He Qing and said, "Why not let He Qing go with him?"
"Me?" He Qing couldn't help laughing: "I have a grudge against Chen Sanyi. I'm afraid I won't even be able to get in the door if I go."
"It is precisely because you have an old grudge against him," Chong Ying said confidently, "It is reasonable for you to go there under the pretext of paying apology. Firstly, it will not arouse the vigilance of the Yuling Palace. Secondly, you can also protect the second son of Qi Guan from the side. If you find any problems with the seal, you can withdraw immediately."
"..." He Qing pursed her lips and thought to herself that although that was the case, she really didn't want to apologize to Chen Sanyi. Even if it was just a formality, she would feel like she was at a big loss.
Qi Guanrui saw that He Qing was reluctant, so he quickly took the initiative to refuse, saying, "No, you don't have to worry about me, Immortals. I came here to forgive Grandpa's sins. If I cause trouble to you again, it would be my fault."
Seeing how cautious he was, He Qing felt a little bit sorry for him. Besides, there would be no harm in going to Chen Sanyi's place, perhaps he could dig up some new things. So, He Qing agreed.
After the agreement was reached, He Qing went to see Chi Ying alone again to inform her that he had important matters to attend to and could not go to Sanzuchuan. Chi Ying did not care. Many demon cultivators who went to Sanzuchuan had returned to Liangzhou City anyway. After her injury healed, she would no longer need He Qing.

Yuling Palace is located in the opposite direction of Liangzhou City. Unlike other immortal gates that choose high locations, Yuling Palace is located on the hillside of a dense mountain range and is decorated like an ordinary Taoist temple. Because it is very close to the town, many people go to Yuling Palace to burn incense. From a distance, it looks like a prosperous incense temple.
In order to allow Qi Guanrui to carefully check whether there were any dangerous barriers set up around the Yuling Palace, He Qing and his party walked up the mountain after landing at the foot of the mountain. The scenery along the way was quite good. Although it was not as misty and full of spiritual energy as Lingshan, it could be regarded as a good place to cultivate immortality.
"Master," Gu Changnian took out a kettle and handed it to He Qing: "Drink some water."
Ever since Gu Changnian confessed his guilt, he has been very attentive and cautious towards He Qing, as if he was afraid of making He Qing unhappy.
But He Qing, as uncomfortable as ever, shook his head and said, "No."
Qi Guanrui thought for a moment, took out a small gourd from his sleeve, and handed it to He Qing: "This is the Nine Spirits True Water I brought from home, do you want to try it?"
"..." He Qing looked at the two vessels, one large and one small, in front of him and forced a smile: "No, I'm not thirsty."
Along the way, the two of them acted like they were participating in some kind of competition. When one of them showed goodwill, the other would follow closely behind and not want to be outdone, which made her head swell up.
Lu Li, who was standing by, looked at the two men being so attentive to He Qing. He could not help but step forward and stretch out his hands, saying obediently, "I'm thirsty. Give it to me."
Yue Qingru was craving for the Nine Spirits True Water, but was too embarrassed to ask for it. Now that Lu Li had taken the lead, she also reached out and stared at the small gourd eagerly: "I'm thirsty too."
Qi Guanrui smiled awkwardly and gave the small gourd to Le Qingru. Seeing this, even if Gu Changnian was unwilling, he had no choice but to give the kettle to Lu Li.
Lu Li took it and smiled at him: "Thank you, brother."
Gu Changnian responded absentmindedly, and his eyes fell on He Qing again, a little worried -
I don't know whether the master has thought through what he said that day, and whether he can distinguish the pros and cons.
