It came to the side of the Beast God, lowered its head, and carefully discerned the aura.
The Beast God finally realized what was happening after hearing the news that Linglong had come back to life.
It's definitely correct that Linglong's physical body was used to seal him.
The lingering aura of Linglong here is also very faint, like a flickering candle and the setting sun!
This means that Linglong definitely has a problem.
Without a physical body, what is left but a soul?
How could it suddenly appear in a place like this?
But this familiar aura, etched into his very soul, could not be wrong!
"Moo!"
As the Beast God was speculating, the Taotie, which was constantly trying to discern the aura at his feet, nudged the Beast God with its head and barked a few times.
The Beast God lowered his head and saw Taotie raise its right hoof and point to an aura it had detected ten meters away.
It was very familiar with this scent.
Even the Beast God was familiar with it; it was the divine artifact that sealed him away!
He remembered that it was Linglong who had developed that thing.
It is the Mysterious Fire Mirror!
And the scent of a man.
However, he had never sensed this man's aura before, though it seemed somewhat similar to that of a Burning Incense Valley disciple he had killed.
Incense Valley?!
He remembered that the Mysterious Fire Mirror seemed to be in the hands of the Incense Burning Valley.
They did not encounter the current Valley Master of Fenxiang Valley when they razed it to the ground.
According to what he heard, it seems he went out to seek help?
Moreover, it seems that the Valley Master of Burning Incense Valley is at Demon Subduing Pass during this period!
The Beast God connected all the clues here.
A thought suddenly popped into my head.
After losing her physical body, Linglong hid and slept in the Xuanhuo Mirror that she had refined herself.
Originally, the Xuanhuo Mirror was kept by the Ancient Witch Clan, but after the Ancient Witch Clan split, the Xuanhuo Mirror was lost. After several twists and turns, it finally came into the hands of the ancestors of Fenxiang Valley.
Furthermore, the ancestors of Fenxiang Valley used the Xuanhuo Mirror to establish Fenxiang Valley in the Southern Frontier.
Now, the Beast God has been born, and the Southern Frontier is in turmoil.
Linglong, who was inside the Xuanhuo Mirror, sensed that the Beast God was wreaking havoc on the world again and began to awaken.
It is now highly likely that it is in the hands of Yun Yilan, the current Valley Master of Fenxiang Valley.
The Beast God took a few deep breaths, suppressing his immediate urge to kill Yun Yilan and seize the Profound Fire Mirror.
No need to rush, no need to rush!
The Beast God turned his gaze toward the Demon-Subduing Pass, his eyes filled with an unreadable emotion!
......
at the same time.
Outside the Demon-Subduing Pass, Li Qing'an walked happily into the city gate!
Li Qing'an had his own plan regarding the Beast God's reaction and aura.
Linglong, who was inside the Soul-Nourishing Jade Pendant, naturally cooperated with Li Qing'an's actions.
He deliberately released his aura, and intentionally left behind a tiny, barely perceptible trace of it.
Although he didn't know why, Li Qing'an wanted to leave behind the aura of the Valley Master of Fenxiang Valley.
But she didn't want to get involved!
After Li Qing'an entered the city, he found that many righteous cultivators were patrolling the city, and every now and then some people were carrying boxes and walking into the city.
Li Qingan probed deeper into the wooden box and discovered that it was full of precious metal materials!
He then explored another treasure chest and discovered that it contained high-grade cinnabar and graphite, among other spiritual materials!
With a slight upturn of his face, there was no doubt that these were all array materials collected by Yun Yilan of Fenxiang Valley, the master of labor.
In fact, most of the materials are very difficult to find.
It's unclear where Yun Yilan collected the materials from.
Just as Li Qing'an walked through the city gate.
A fiery red figure flew straight to Li Qing'an from a distance, its face filled with urgency!
It was Tian Ling'er!
She has been looking for Li Qingan for a short period of time.
However, after hearing that Li Qingan had gone out alone, she was worried that he wouldn't be able to find his way out, and she was also worried that she hadn't been able to tell him the news immediately.
So I waited at the city gate all day!
"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
Li Qingan gently tucked a stray strand of Tian Ling'er's hair, which had been blown to the ground by the wind, behind her ear.
Tian Ling'er blushed at first, and then she heard Du Bishu and Zeng Shushu calling out from behind her.
So she quickly straightened up, no longer shy, and said bluntly:
"Didn't you ask Yun Yilan to collect array materials? Yun Yilan handed the task over to Lü Shun."
"Then, you provided too many materials, and Lu Shun couldn't collect them all by himself, so he rallied many righteous cultivators to collect them together, so that you could set up the formation sooner!"
"Then Lü Shun said that what you said was true, that materials needed to be collected from the sects in the Righteous Path Alliance to ensure the smooth operation of the formation!"
Chapter 290 Conflicts within the Righteous Alliance!
"So, you mean that Yun Yilan of Fenxiang Valley instructed Lü Shun to handle the matter, and then Lü Shun sent a message saying that I had asked various sects to requisition all kinds of precious materials and resources?"
"Uh-huh!"
Tian Ling'er, Zeng Shushu, and the others nodded repeatedly!
Li Qingan's lips curled up, and he chuckled softly, asking in return, "So, how are the various sects reacting now?"
Tian Ling'er was so concerned that she couldn't understand why Li Qing'an was smiling!
Zeng Shushu, who knew his best friend well, immediately showed a strange smile. He pointed at Li Qingan, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then whispered.
"Initially, the various sects didn't react much to this news, and some even actively cooperated!"
Zeng Shushu then changed the subject, speaking seriously: "Later, for some reason, a small portion of the sects in the alliance said that their sects simply didn't have the resources and couldn't afford to go out..."
"Afterwards, Lu Shun from Fenxiang Valley tried to persuade them to agree, but to no avail. His explanation was that these sects simply couldn't provide the rare and precious materials on your list!"
"After things got out of hand, Lü Shun had no choice but to take it upon himself to tell these smaller sects they didn't need to provide materials..."
Zeng Shushu kept recounting to Li Qingan what happened inside the Demon-Subduing Pass a day after Li Qingan left!
And after that.
After Lü Shun told those few sects that they didn't need to hand over the materials, the Righteous Alliance was thrown into chaos!
Many people expressed their dissatisfaction, asking why they were exempt from the exemption.
They're all minor sects; they know each other well!
No materials yet? There isn't a single sect that doesn't know how to build a sect treasure vault!
Furthermore, the problem isn't scarcity, but rather inequality!
All the cultivators in the Righteous Path Alliance demanded that they not hand over any supplies, or several smaller sects also started handing over supplies, and even required them to hand over three times the amount.
Only then did they say it was reasonable!
Finally, after this farce escalated, Yun Yilan, who was in charge of collecting materials, began to take strong action!
However, instead of quelling the resentment of the crowd, he spoke out about the mistakes of his disciple, Lü Shun.
But this was only to collect materials and build a formation to defend against attacks from monsters!
For the sake of the overall situation, he first severely punished Lü Shun.
Despite opposition from many, he continued to aggressively collect resources everywhere.
Later, the resentful righteous sects were persuaded to back down by Pu Kong and Tian Buyi from Tianyin Temple and Qingyun Sect.
Pu Kong smoothed things over.
However, Tian Buyi felt something was very wrong. Why would these materials cause such dissatisfaction among the righteous sects?
That really shouldn't be happening!
Then, contrary to everyone's expectations, he actually suggested that Yun Yilan put the materials back and appease the various righteous sects.
However, Yun Yilan felt that the beast demons were the priority, and it was worth it for everyone to suffer some grievances.
Qingyun Sect and Fenxiang Valley each have their own opinions.
Thus, as the battle gained some momentum and everyone's confidence increased.
However, a seemingly ordinary matter of collecting array materials ignited a conflict that had long existed within the Righteous Alliance!
Li Qingan was not angry after hearing this!
Although it was Lü Shun who came forward, anyone with a brain would know that this was Yun Yilan's intention!
He also said how long Yun Yilan could endure it, but I didn't expect it to end like this?
I can't stand this, it's pointless.
However, this unusual movement within the Righteous Path Alliance, besides the feud between Li Qing'an and Yun Yilan, may also involve the conflict between Qingyun Sect and Fenxiang Valley.
