Chapter 117: The identity of Xuanling
The long-closed restriction was opened again, and Xiao Ling's figure walked out of the cave.
The storage bag on his waist contained the elixir sent by Hong Lei. He decided to go to the ground fire below to start refining the elixir today.
The old cow is still resting in the cave, let's just assume it is practicing.
After all, Lao Niu has always been like this for so long. He doesn't know whether Lao Niu is resting or practicing, but his realm has indeed increased.
Don’t know what you are practicing?
The little hidden fox poked its little head out of his arms and breathed the surrounding air excitedly. It was suffocated by being locked up in the cave.
Before he could go down the mountain, the cave door beside him opened wide, and Xuanling slowly walked out.
As if he saw Xiao Ling accidentally, a strong smile appeared on his face.
"Hey, fellow Taoist want to go out?"
"It just so happens that I'm going out too, how about fellow Taoists come with me?"
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at his chest. When he saw the little hidden fox, his eyes froze for a moment, then immediately returned to their original state and looked at Xiao Ling with a smile.
Although Xuan Ling's movements were very fast and subtle, Xiao Ling had been observing Xuan Ling since he came out of the cave, and these movements naturally did not escape his eyes.
With a sinking heart, Xiao Ling felt that he had guessed wrong!
Xuan Ling's target may not be him, but the little hidden fox in his arms.
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, Xiao Ling felt like he was in an abyss, and his whole body was freezing cold.
Not even the heat of the scorching sun above his head could make him feel better for a moment.
Is this the little hidden fox discovered?
Could it be that the other party is the one who destroyed Xuanling Sect?
After thinking for a while, Xiao Ling rejected this idea. If the other party really destroyed the existence of Xuanling Sect, then whether he is alive or not is still a question.
Xuanling, Xuanling!
This name is very interesting, it seems like it says nothing, but it also seems like it says everything.
But Xuanling Sect has been destroyed. Is this person a survivor of Xuanling Sect?
More than a hundred years have passed since the Xuanling Sect was destroyed. This place was also occupied by the Beast Control Sect decades ago. So where did this person come from?
If the other party is really a survivor of Xuanling Sect, what kind of cultivation level should he have now?
The little hidden fox had never left him, so how was he discovered by the other party?
Xiao Ling's mind was like a blur, and he could not grasp the vague thoughts in his mind.
"What's wrong, fellow Taoist?"
Xuan Ling's words brought Xiao Ling, who was wandering in the world, back to his senses, and said calmly: "Nothing!"
But his voice was hoarse, like someone who has been in the desert without drinking water for a long time.
He came back to his senses after a while, glanced at Xuan Ling and said softly: "Nothing, my fellow Taoist has to leave first."
"I have something to do for now!"
Xuan Ling was always smiling and didn't say anything when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Ling and nodded slightly.
"Since fellow Taoist still has something to do, I won't disturb you."
"Meeting is fate, you have to move around more in the future."
She glanced at his chest again, turned around and walked down the Blood Wolf Mountain.
Looking at Xuan Ling's retreating figure, Xiao Ling frowned and felt depressed.
Where exactly was the little hidden fox exposed?
In his mind, it started when he entered Blood Wolf City and ended when he left the cave today.
All the pictures flashed through his mind one by one like a slideshow, while he was also thinking about the origin of Xuan Ling.
Once, twice...
The last scene in his mind was in the Spirit-Searching Hall of the Royal Beast Sect. He remembered that the little hidden fox stuck its head out to watch.
At that time, he was standing in the spirit detection formation of the Beast Control Sect. There must have been some masters who had investigated him, but he didn't know it.
The existence of the little hidden fox must have been leaked out in this way, so the other party came to the door the next day.
Gu Yu
With a hint of regret in my heart, I should have put the little hidden fox into the spirit beast bag.
When he first knew that the Xuanling Sect had been destroyed, he had thought that he should be careful not to expose the existence of the little hidden fox, otherwise he would be killed.
But the little hidden fox doesn't like to stay in the spirit beast bag, but likes to hide in his arms and stick its head out to secretly watch the world.
Since there has been no problem for a long time, Xiao Ling himself also slacked off, and that's what happened today.
If he had always been vigilant, he would not have exposed the existence of the little hidden fox in the Spirit Testing Hall of the Beast Control Sect.
It's too late to say anything now, he is in danger.
There was no trace of Xuan Ling in his eyes, and Xiao Ling stood alone on the top of the Blood Wolf Mountain, shaped like a dead tree.
He also had some guesses about Xuan Ling's origin.
There is a problem with the beast control gate!
Before entering Blood Wolf City, Zheng Yu told him a story about the origin of the Beast Control Gate.
At that time, he was half-convinced about this story, and he was also full of doubts about the origin of Liu Zheng, the founder of the Beast Control Sect.
However, these had nothing to do with him at the beginning, so he didn't have much interest in delving into them.
Now it seems that there is a relationship between Xuanling Sect and Beast Control Sect.
The Xuanling Sect was destroyed more than a hundred years ago, and all the resources within the sect were basically looted.
As a result, decades later, a beast control sect actually re-established a sect here, just for the blood wolf in the Moon Shadow Mountains?
There are also big problems with the few casual cultivators who helped Liu Zheng establish the Beast Control Sect. In the world of cultivation, there are few stories of falling in love at first sight, and there are also few people who work together for an ideal.
After thinking about it again in his mind, Xiao Ling made a bold guess.
The Beast Control Sect may be the continuation of the Xuanling Sect!
Now it was a matter of proving the origin of the Beast Control Sect. He could confirm it as long as there were some clues.
At that time, as long as the records of the Xuanling Sect and the records of the Yushou Sect are corroborated with each other, we will be able to figure out whether there is any inextricable relationship between the two sects.
…
After glancing at the blazing sun in the distance, Xiao Ling stepped toward the Blood Wolf City.
There is no rush to make alchemy for the time being, he is going to check the records of Xuanling Sect.
The fact that the Beast Control Sect did not keep him immediately and then take action to snatch the little hidden fox shows that things are about to turn around.
He wanted to check it out, otherwise he would really feel uneasy.
He had some ideas about Xuan Ling's identity, but he wasn't very sure. He would have to check everything before he knew it.
After asking several people, Xiao Ling found the place in Blood Wolf City that sold jade slips recording events in the Southern Territory.
The store is located in a very remote place, and almost no pedestrians are seen.
There was only one young man in the store, and he seemed to be practicing.
He ignored Xiao Ling's arrival and allowed him to search for himself.
He found that this kind of small shop may be the reason why the business has been poor. For a long time, it has been indifferent to customers. It doesn't matter whether the business can be done or not.
But Xiao Ling is so anxious right now, how can he have time to look for it?
I can only ask: "Do you have any records about Xuanling Sect and Beast Control Sect?"
The young man then opened his eyes and glanced at him, and said softly:
"Fifty spiritual stones!"
Xiao Ling knew that the price must be too high, but he was too lazy to look for it or argue with anyone, so he nodded and agreed.
The young man was stunned when he saw Xiao Ling nodding. He just randomly quoted a price and waited for Xiao Ling to counter-offer. Who would have thought that it would be like this?
I originally thought that he wouldn't be a wealthy person in such a remote place, so I just ignored him.
In the end, he didn't expect that the other party wouldn't even pay back the price, but it was good, as it allowed him to earn a few more spiritual stones.
He found two jade slips from a corner and placed them in Xiao Ling's hands, while also putting away the fifty spiritual stones given by Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling took a quick look with his spiritual consciousness, and found that the two jade slips contained indeed records about the Beast Control Sect and the Xuanling Sect.
