Huang Risheng is a leisurely Taoist who rarely has any tasks. He spends most of his time practicing in seclusion in Qingxu Cave. He has no chance to contact Tianxu at all.

The only time was seven years ago, when he went to Lin'an City to find Shen Bi to propose marriage.

At that time, Tianxu broke out, Huang Risheng, Liu Xundao and Shen Biyou went to investigate together, and then they were ambushed.

In other words, Huang Risheng was very likely to have been tricked at that time...

For this reason, the three saints of the Dao League summoned Liang Yan and Shen Biyou to Xuanzhen Hall. They were the only two present at that time, and some details were only known from their mouths.

It has to be said that Shen Biyou is still reliable. If he hadn't protected Liu Xundao at the critical moment, Liang Yan's plan would have come to nothing...

Liang Yan was grateful to Shen Biyou in his heart.

But he also felt more and more that Shen Biyou was completely different from ordinary Taoist disciples.

You know, there are three saints sitting in Xuanzhen Hall!

In Liang Yan's previous understanding, all saints are like ants. Most of the decisions made by saints are difficult to change, and they are even less likely to have the patience to argue with you.

But the three saints in Xuanzhen Palace were moved by Shen Biyou...

From the beginning to the end, they were extremely patient with Shen Biyou, without any pretense of a saint, and they kept trying to communicate with Shen Biyou.

This is incomprehensible to Liang Yan.

"Shen Biyou must have a major secret!" Liang Yan finally came to the conclusion.

In fact, this can be seen from the message given by the Taoist just now.

He warned Liang Yan not to have any evil intentions, and at the same time gave him a secret mission, which was to protect Shen Biyou throughout the whole process and not let anything happen to Shen Biyou.

Although he didn't say what the punishment would be if he failed the mission, Liang Yan knew that if Shen Biyou really died in the Disaster Realm, his clone would definitely not end well.

"It seems that this trip to bring disaster to the world will be bound to Shen Biyou." Liang Yan sighed in his heart.

In fact, this is nothing. With my friendship with Shen Biyou, I can protect him without the Taoist opening his mouth.

Moreover, Shen Biyou himself is not weak either. His "Xuanqing Immortal Qi" defense ability is extremely strong. As long as he does not encounter top masters like Zhuge Wulie, Duanmu Yun, and Zhang Shouzheng, he should have no problem in protecting himself.

What really worries Liang Yan is the third force lurking in the dark!

He is now almost certain that someone is doing something secretly!

The burning of the Treasure Pavilion seemed to be just an accidental event, but Liang Yan knew that the top leaders of both Confucian and Confucian alliances had a pair of eyes. Only he knew that exactly the same thing happened to the two factions!

This is no coincidence...

Liang Yan's intuition was very keen. He guessed that burning the Treasure Pavilion was not just to make way. The Confucian and Confucian factions were suspicious of each other, and there should be other purposes.

Maybe, to hide something?

Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, becoming more wary of this virtual realm discussion.

The people behind the scenes have far-reaching plans and dare to challenge Taoism and Confucianism. They must not be ordinary people!

Although I know these secrets, I can't tell anyone now. I can only bury them in my heart and act according to the circumstances...

Liang Yan sighed and meditated in his cave.

The day passed in the blink of an eye, and it was early morning the next day.

He came out of his cave, activated the escape light, and soon joined Shen Biyou, Lingjun, and Lingyun.

Today is the day to bathe in the spiritual spring.

Like the Confucian League, the Dao League also has means to strengthen its combat power.

There is a "Jade Capital Spiritual Spring" in the southeast of the main altar. Just bathing in the spiritual spring and meditating for two hours can strengthen the physical body and the soul at the same time, and the state will last for about a hundred days.

Such a simple and crude method of improving strength will inevitably have side effects. Fortunately, the Taoist sect is good at refining elixirs and has specially refined the "Exorcism Pill" for this purpose, which can minimize the side effects of bathing in the spiritual spring.

Yujing Lingquan is not open to the public at ordinary times. Participants are only allowed to bathe in the spring before discussing Taoism in the virtual realm.

Today is the day when twenty masters from the Dao League gather at Yujing Lingquan!

"Brother Shen, are you okay?" Liang Yan saw that Shen Biyou was a little distracted and couldn't help but ask.

"I...I'm fine." Shen Biyou forced a smile.

"I'm very sad about Daoyou Huang, but we tried our best at that time. Maybe he wasn't eroded by Tianxu at that time." Liang Yan consoled him.

Even so, he knew very well that Huang Risheng was most likely to have been tricked at that time.

Although the three of them successfully broke through at the time, looking back now, the man in the dark achieved his goal...

Seeing that Shen Biyou was a little decadent, Lingjun and Lingyun looked at each other and started to persuade him.

"Brother Shen, I know that you and Senior Brother Huang have been friends for many years, and his death has a great impact on you, but the Void Realm Discussion is about to begin, and you are our leader, so you must cheer up no matter what!"

"Yes, the uncles and uncles will definitely investigate the matter regarding Senior Brother Huang. Brother Shen, please stop blaming yourself."

After listening to what the two said, Shen Biyou took a deep breath and seemed to cheer up a little.

He nodded and said: "You are right. What happened in the past can no longer be undone. It is useless for me to blame myself. The most important thing now is to talk about the virtual world... It's getting late. Let's set off to Yujingling. Quanba."

"Um!"

Seeing him cheer up, Lingjun and Lingyun both had smiles on their faces.

However, Liang Yan saw a hint of confusion deep in Shen Biyou's eyes.

He felt keenly that Shen Biyou today seemed to be a little different from yesterday...but what exactly was different, he couldn't tell for a while.

"What happened in just one day?" Liang Yan was confused.

Just as he was thinking secretly, Shen Biyou had already activated the escape light and flew towards Lingquan with Lingjun and Lingyun.

Naturally, he couldn't lag behind, so he could only temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart, and also turned into a escaping light and followed behind the three of them.

Soon, they arrived outside Yujing Lingquan.

There is a barrier around the spiritual spring. From the outside, it looks like an eggshell wrapped in starlight. It is filled with chaotic nebulae and cannot be penetrated by spiritual consciousness.

The people responsible for guarding the spiritual spring are the four Taoists from the main altar, all of whom have achieved the Tribulation Realm.

Seeing Shen Biyou and others arriving, one of them shouted and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Shen, you are late, everyone else has already gone in."

After hearing this, Shen Biyou cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'd like to ask my four senior brothers to open the ban."

The Taoist smiled slightly, waved his Taoist robe, and the light of stars immediately fell down, slowly opening the restricted entrance to the spiritual spring.

"Go in, I'll be waiting for you."

"Thank you!"

After Shen Biyou thanked him, he led Liang Yan and others through the restriction.

Arriving inside the barrier, I saw a large spiritual spring in front of me, with a radius of a thousand feet. The spring water was clear, and milky-white spiritual energy floated on the water.

Above the spring, there were twenty starlight futons floating, sixteen of which were already occupied, leaving only four empty seats looming in the mist.

"Let's go up too." Shen Biyou said.

"Um."

The four of them did not hesitate, and in a flash, they arrived at the four empty seats in the southwest at the same time.

As soon as they sat down, the spiritual spring below began to boil.

Obviously, all the people participating in the virtual realm discussion have arrived, and the restrictions on the "Jade Capital Spiritual Spring" have naturally been lifted.

Liang Yan lowered his head and looked down, and saw bubbles emerging one after another on the surface of the spiritual spring. Milky white mist steamed upwards, soon covering everyone in it.

Under the influence of this mist, spiritual consciousness cannot spread and can only see within three feet of the surrounding area.

Liang Yan didn't have time to look around, because he soon felt a strange spiritual energy entering his body.

This spiritual energy circulated in his meridians for a long time, and he felt that his whole body was transparent, the strength of his muscles, bones, flesh and blood had been improved, and even his mana and spirit had also increased!

"I didn't expect that there would be such a magical thing in the world!" Liang Yan sighed in his heart.

He has never heard of such a spiritual spring that forcibly enhances strength. I am afraid that only the Taoist and Confucian schools have such a foundation.

The difference is that the Confucian League's Golden List focuses on improving talents, while the Dao League's "Yujing Lingquan" improves combat effectiveness in all aspects.

Please...you...collect_(Six\\\Nine\\\Books\\\!)

Although this improvement is only temporary, it can cover the entire virtual realm.

"The secret realm is full of dangers, and it is a good thing to be able to improve the strength of the clone..."

Liang Yan knew that he could not delay any longer. This spiritual spring was only open for two hours. How much it could absorb depended on the opportunity.

He took out a pill from the storage ring, which was the "Exorcism Pill" prepared by the Taoist Alliance for them. After swallowing it in one gulp, he began to meditate and absorb the spiritual energy.

As the spiritual energy enters his body, his mana, physical strength, and spiritual strength are slowly increasing...

"good!"

Liang Yan was secretly happy and adjusted his condition to the best, speeding up the absorption of Yujing's spiritual energy.

The entire Lingquan was quiet, everyone was meditating and absorbing, and no one made a sound.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.
