The sky is clear and the clouds are clear.

A stream of light fell from the sky, broke through the sky, and entered the sky above the land called Huishan.

This is a high mountain located around Tai'an City.

Huishan is inaccessible and extremely quiet and far-reaching.

There is a stream winding around the mountains like a jade belt.

Lu Qingshan, who came with a sword, was hanging high in the air, his consciousness reaching down.

There are hawthorn trees all over the mountains and plains.

There are very few buildings in the mountain, only an ancient Taoist temple on the mountainside.

"It looks like it might be a wasted trip again?"

Lu Qingshan frowned, and finally with a thought in his heart, he led the two sisters Lin Chuyi and Lin Shishi straight to the Taoist temple.

As the sword light flashed, the three figures appeared in the Taoist temple.

It seems that no one has been to the Taoist temple for a long time, and withered yellow leaves have piled up all over the courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard, there is an ancient well.

There are also hawthorn trees planted next to the ancient well, but they have been exposed to wind, rain and sun, and their appearance does not look good.

Lu Qingshan looked at the surrounding environment.

The two sisters were also looking around, but as they looked, their big eyes gradually filled with mist.

"Master, this is Qingfengmen. There used to be a Taoist priest who lived here. My father often brought my sister and I to play here..." Lin Chuyi pursed his lips and said.

Lin Fifteen also nodded vigorously, pointed to the ancient well and said: "What my sister and I liked most at that time was throwing hawthorns into the well...Dad would tell us when he saw it...

"

"But now, Grandpa Taoist is no longer here, father is no longer here, and mother is no longer here..." Lin Shishi pouted, her eyes red.

Lu Qingshan was silent for a while, sighed, rubbed their heads, and finally put a handful of hawthorn on the mouth of the well, "I'll go out and take a look, you guys wait for me here."

........

After leaving the Taoist temple, Lu Qingshan wandered around the mountain again, and his mood gradually became heavy.

Who would have thought that the Qingfeng Gate he was looking for so hard would actually be around Tai'an City.

I don't know if it was God's will or something, but after leaving the boundary wall of the Underworld, the place where they appeared was the area where the Qingfeng Sect used to be.

It can only be said that it is only because I am in this mountain.

If Lin Chuyi's question hadn't awakened him, Lu Qingshan might not have realized this until now.

Oranges grown in the south of the Huaihe River are called tangerines, and those grown in the north of the Huaihe River are called tangerines.

This shows the impact of natural geographical environment on fruits.

The Zhongtian Territory is extremely vast, and coupled with the richness of spiritual energy, the taste of the same fruit in different places is extremely different.

But the two sisters had said at the beginning that the taste of candied haws in Tai'an City was exactly the same as the taste of hawthorn in their home.

Does this mean that Qingfeng Gate is most likely located around Tai'an City?

This is the most reasonable explanation.

So he returned to his hometown and found Huishan near Tai'an City, which was rich in hawthorn.

Facts have proved that his guess was correct.

only……

According to what was said on the first and fifteenth day of the month, this place should have been the location of the Qingfeng Sect.

But looking around now, except for the remaining Taoist temple on the mountainside, there are no buildings left.

The sect that once existed, not only the people, but even the objects, have no trace left.

"No wonder……"

The Zhongtian Territory stretches for countless thousands of miles, and the territory is vast. However, so many people have been sold into the Demonic Territory for thousands of years, but they have not been noticed. It is not just because of the vast territory.

What's more important is that these human traitors kept the aftermath of the incident hidden.

They can completely erase the traces of a sect from this world.

Not only the physical erasure, but also the intelligence aspect.

In the information library of Zhishou Building, the Qingfeng Gate here has never existed at all.

This is the scariest place.

The power of the real culprit behind the scenes is unimaginable.

Lu Qingshan's eyes were as bright as a knife.

The Jianzong's territory is the Eastern Region. Although the Jianzong also has its own intelligence channels in the Zhongtian Region, it is obviously impossible to pay attention to the little-known Qingfeng Sect.

"It seems that this trip to Tianji Temple still has to take a walk." He murmured.

In the Zhongtian domain where the Daxia royal family covers the sky with one hand, the only one who can compete with them is Tianji Guan.

Only with the help of the intelligence of Tianji Guan and the power of Tianji Guan can we unravel this conspiracy and eradicate this cancer.

"However, before that, you can go to Tai'an City first."

Huishan, where Qingfeng Gate is located, is not far from Tai'an City. There should be many people in the city who know the news about Qingfeng Gate.

Maybe they can erase the traces of the Qingfeng Sect's existence, but they absolutely cannot erase the Qingfeng Sect from the memories of these people.

.......

Lu Qingshan turned back to the Taoist temple.

In the Taoist temple, the big eyes of the two sisters were still bright red.

They were gently throwing the handful of hawthorns beside the well mouth into the ancient well.

This is like a ritual, a ceremony to pay homage to deceased relatives.

The ancient well is very deep, and the hawthorns fall into the well mouth one by one, but there is no tinkling sound.

Just like the Zhongtian Territory under the control of the mastermind behind the scenes, it has swallowed up countless human races in thousands of years without making any noise or causing any waves.

"Master..." Seeing Lu Qingshan come back, the two sisters quickly wiped away their tears and walked to Lu Qingshan's side obediently.

To them, Lu Qingshan, who rescued the two of them from the demons, was actually not only their master, but even more like their relative.

The two sisters didn't know much, but they also understood that this matter was very dangerous. If Lu Qingshan continued to pursue it, what dangers might even occur.

Therefore, they never asked Lu Qingshan to avenge them. Instead, they thought about learning the art on their own, and after they succeeded in learning the art, they could take revenge on their own.

Lu Qingshan didn't say much, he just gently held the two sisters' little hands.

Since he has accepted them as his disciples, even though they are only by name, from now on, the affairs of the two sisters are also his business.

A master should make decisions for his disciples.

Very simple truth.

Xia Daoyun thought so, and so did Lu Qingshan.

.........

Lu Qingshan moved his sword across the sky.

The weather is exceptionally clear today, with no clouds in the sky and a gentle breeze.

With his speed, it didn't take long for the majestic city wall outline of Tai'an City to come into view.

He lowered his height slightly.

You can faintly hear the chirping of birds and the rustle of the breeze through the woods.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

Lu Qingshan frowned.

It's too quiet.

Tai'an City is not far away, how come there is no smoke or sound of people at all?

It's like the whole city is asleep.

He had some bad premonitions in his heart, and instinctively felt an extremely strange and gloomy atmosphere.

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but speed up, flew into Tai'an City, and circled quickly in the sky above Tai'an City.

Not a single soul could be seen on the broad street.

Occasionally, there are a few local dogs wandering in the streets, whimpering softly.

It seems that even they can't adapt to such a scene.

In just over a month, Tai'an City, which was once bustling with people and extremely lively, had completely turned into an empty city.
To be continued...
