Episode 119

  The Cloudy Temple of the Ten Great Sects, a wonderful place for Lu Xian. In the bamboo forest under the stone peak, a cave was opened, and as one entered, there was a screen with a painting on it, depicting a hazy landscape like misty clouds and fog, with a temple in the midst of the fog, like a dream or an illusion. At this time, a cultivator inside the temple, beautiful and elegant, with a noble demeanor that was hard to describe, was reporting to another cultivator sitting high up on the throne.

  "So it seems that Yi Xiu Men's Feng Cheng is an imposter!"

  "It's true! Feng Cheng and Fu Jun have already been taken in by their disciples."

  "Hmm! This is a great opportunity! We have wanted to extend an olive branch to the Yixiu Gate many times, but we lacked a suitable excuse. Now that the timing has coincided, it's a chance for our Yunxiao Hall and the Yixiu Gate to form a connection. However, this matter must be done with solid evidence, otherwise, I'm afraid we'll be acting without justification, which would be difficult to explain to the other factions within the alliance. After all, we're still part of the same alliance!"

  "Master Shifu worries too much. Even if it's not true, let's just say it is and make it real! Once it's real, we can take action."

  "Hmm, Feng's words are exactly what I wanted to hear. You take the lead on this matter, calculate the cause and effect, and then act accordingly. Just make sure there is solid evidence and witnesses, best if they confess themselves!"

  "Disciple understands, that fake Feng Cheng is being held in the Xian prison, while fake Fu Qunru is like a divine general, having just broken through the boundary of the law body. Disciple first planned to take her down and forced her to write down the origin of the matter. Later, the master and several senior cultivators with weight went to Yishanmen for a trip. Disciple handed over the evidence and other materials to the trial, if there is any change, then the real Feng Cheng and Fu Qunru will come out to confront."

  "The method is good, go and carry it out."

  "Yes! The disciple takes his leave."

  The phoenix fairy retreated with a bow.

  Easy to repair the gate of the secret land.

  "Report! Ancestor, the Five Captives of the Heavenly Prison have been attacked and are in a state of upheaval."

  "Ah! What's going on? Tell me in detail!"

  "The prison guard didn't know what was going on either. This morning, during the routine inspection, I saw that the five new prisoners were all unconscious in their cells. I quickly returned to report to the head of the prison, the great elder, who opened the door for an investigation. Although the five prisoners hadn't died yet, they had suffered severe injuries and it would take at least a month for them to recover."

  "Alright! Inform those two to go together to the Heavenly Prison!"

  "Yes! I understand."

  Before long, in the prison of the Immortal Captives, several tens of people followed the Old Ancestor and entered the prison to inspect. Suddenly, the Old Ancestor said:

  "Master of the Gate, I'm only worried that there might be some minor repairs to disrupt our formation. Why don't you and the Jurchen go meet with that little girl together!"

  "Ancestor, I don't know......"

  "He has been taken care of by the Jurchen people."

  "Oh!"

  The host and the female Zhenren disappeared silently.

  At that time, Chang'er was sweeping the bookcase of her master Taiyi Zhenren. Suddenly, Fengming Xianzi arrived uninvited, and Chang'er was greatly suspicious, thinking to herself:

  "I have no connection with this person, yet he comes to visit me, surely some misfortune is about to befall me!"

  "You are like a younger sister to me, and at such a young age, you have already formed your own style. Your future is boundless!"

  After letting her take a seat, she stared at Chang'er carefully and then spoke.

  "Feng Ming Xianzi has been overpraised, but unfortunately, our master is not here today, so it's a waste of your trip!"

  "Haha! I didn't come here to find Taiyi Zhenren, but rather for you!"

  "Oh! I don't know......"

  "Hmm! You're like a younger sister, as beautiful as a flower. No wonder there's talk in the streets that you're the number one beauty among the top ten sects!"

  "An immortal fairy-like figure, how can we ordinary mortals compare to that!"

  Chang'e thanked her, admiring her refined and accomplished skills. Fengming then praised her beauty as lovely as a flower. The two beauties exchanged compliments back and forth without end. Chang'e poured the fragrant tea, lit the sandalwood incense, and sat down quietly, her eyes fixed on Fengming Xianzi, motionless.

  "Oh no! You're like an elder sister, why are you looking at me like this?"

  "What a fairy-like person!"

  Chang'er sighed and praised.

  "Is that so? You are like a younger sister to me, and your family name is really Feng?"

  Chang'er heard this and although she felt a slight tightening inside, she thought that whoever it was, this matter was just a small thing, so she remained expressionless and calmly said:

  "Really? What's wrong? Did we two get our surnames mixed up?"

  "Hum! Fu Junru, despite your beautiful appearance, you are a big scammer. You and others have impersonated Feng Cheng and Fu Junru for many years, it's time to return their identities!"

  "No wonder you're so dressed up, admiring my looks, and it turns out you've been waiting for me here all along! Hmph!"

  Chang'e whispered.

  "What intention does the Phoenix Fairy have?"

  "No matter who you are, as long as you tell me the details of how Feng Cheng and Fu Junru impersonated my disciples, I, Yun Yunxiao, will not pursue the matter. If not, I'll have to trouble the fairy to come to my Cloudy Sky Palace in person."

  "Fengming Xianzi is a high-ranking cultivator, yet he uses such childish tricks to amuse the crowd. You people from Yunxiao Hall must have spent a great deal of effort to obtain this method, I suppose?"

  "Shut up! You may look as beautiful as a flower, but you have a heart with seven holes! It's all clear now! Even if you had a hundred mouths and a hundred tongues, and could speak with a thousand variations of clever words, it would still be impossible to conceal the iron facts!"

  "Is this a fact? I'm afraid the fairy didn't come for the sake of facts, but rather to find a clever solution to the easy-to-repair door of my family!"

  "Nonsense! I came here to uphold justice and preside over fairness! I..."

  "Immortal!"

  Chang'e waved her hand and interrupted Fengming's words:

  "Don't mention justice or fairness here! What justice or fairness is there in the current cultivation world? Let alone someone like Phoenix Cry Fairy! Isn't self-interest your true face?"

  "How dare you! Come on, let this cheap person see the real Feng Cheng and Fu Junru!"

  Before the words had fallen, the two cultivators pushed open the door and entered. The male cultivator was quite short, with an unimpressive appearance, but the female cultivator had a pair of bright phoenix-like eyes that shone brightly, her face pale with delicate features, her figure plump and elegant, dignified and refined, truly a beautiful woman. As soon as they entered the door, they stared intently at Yi Xiu's disciple, Fu Qianru, for quite some time before speaking.

  "You despicable thief! You stole the names of my brother and me to come to this place, and you've actually managed to cultivate a Dharmakaya! But it's a pity that you've misled my brother and sister on their path of cultivation. Today, you must give us an explanation, or else we'll have to ask Master Fengming to take charge!"

  "What kind of good treatment did Yunxiao Palace give you two? How can you be so rude to me?"

  "Despicable person, stop your nonsense! These two are indeed my disciples, Feng Cheng and Fu Junru. If today must be..."

  "Hum! Feng Ming Xian Zi, you're a high-ranking person in the Yun Xiao Temple, but not someone from my Yi Xiu Gate. What right do you have to come here and interrogate me? And what's your intention in bringing these two people to make up for my brother's inadequacies? Although I'm just a low-level cultivator with shallow skills, I'm still a member of the Yi Xiu Gate, and my bones are still intact! You want to add to my crimes, but it won't work!"

  "Nonsense! You scoundrel, the facts are right in front of you, how dare you try to talk your way out of it!"

  "Feng Ming, although you are ambitious and want to dominate the Ten Great Sects, everyone knows your wild heart. Your strength is indeed impressive, but behaving like this makes me think that you're not worthy of being a great figure. You should remember, I'm just a humble disciple of the Yi Xiu Gate, and when I return to my sect's elder, I will only ask questions, and absolutely won't bother to explain who I am in front of people like you, it's such a stupid question!"

  "How dare you! You're just a tiny fledgling cultivator who's only just begun to form your nascent soul, and yet you speak to me in such a manner!"

  "Hum! Feng Ming, what about your Cloud Hall? What about your gathering of talented individuals? Do you think that just because I, Yi Xing, have an easy time cultivating, no one will come to my door?"

  "You! You! Wretched creature! This is what you brought upon yourself, don't blame me!"

  That Feng Ming Xianzi was usually revered by people, where did this kind of crippled appearance come from? Not bearing it in her heart, she became greatly enraged, her beautiful eyes rounded open, cold light flashing, her two hands formed a Dharma seal, and she was about to cast a spell. Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted:

  Slow!

  Then, a flash of light flickered in the hall, and two people appeared. One was the current master of the Yi Xiu Gate, and the other was the Taiyi Female True Person. The two had been hiding in silence for a long time, and only revealed their figures when they saw Feng Miao take action. The two slowly walked to the front of the table, sat down on either side, and then said:

  "Phoenix, please sit down."

  "Thank you, both of you, Uncles..."

  "Feng Ming, your gathering of knowledge has been successful, congratulations are in order! However, coming to my Wuyi Gate to teach and train my disciples is not right, yet you still want to kill my disciples in my library, is this something that can be tolerated or not?"
