The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 203: Picking up the Mirror (8)

Cang Xue continued, "The Taichen Sword has the power to conquer the world. It is said that it can defeat all demons and evil spirits in one fell swoop. However, the way of heaven says that all things are interdependent and mutually restraining. If left alone and allowed to become powerful, it will eventually cause disasters. Therefore, in order to prevent disasters from happening, the head of the Wenxin Sect has discussed with other sects to create a magic sword that can restrain the Taichen Sword. It is your Cang Xue Sword."

She opened her eyes wide: "But the two swords were forged after the Jiuzhou Ding was stolen."

Cang Xue replied, "That's right. It just so happened that the Jiuzhou Ding was stolen from Wenxin Sect, and the Sect Master had to shoulder the responsibility for the theft. That's why they had no choice but to use the Taichen Sword as a new holy object to exorcise evil spirits. Once Taichen is activated, a sword that counteracts it must be created. That's the origin of Cang Xue."

She swallowed a mouthful of water and digested the content of this sentence.

At this time, a new illusion appeared not far away.

There were two men in black standing in the back mountain of Wenxin Gate. The backs of these two people were particularly familiar, very similar to... very similar to the group of people who kidnapped Lu Xin and Tang Huanyun before!

"Who are they?" Mu Hanxing frowned.

"This is an illusion created by a magic weapon. Although we can see the past, most of the illusions come from Lu Xin's memories and speculations. He always thought that the people who stole the tripod back then were that group of people, but the truth is still unknown." Cang Xue explained.

Before their eyes, two men in black quickly used magic to break the barrier on the back mountain of Wenxin Sect, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to successfully sneak into the gang. Then, without any pause, they reached the top of the back mountain with ease. There were two layers of barrier on the top of the mountain, and the outermost layer was composed of twelve talismans, each of which required sophisticated techniques to break one by one. Unexpectedly, one of the two was good at breaking such talismans, and he recited the formula. In less than a moment, the twelve talismans dissipated their spiritual power, and a layer of spiritual light barrier at the entrance to the top of the mountain gradually dissipated.

The two of them quickly moved forward, and after a few steps they arrived near an altar on the top of the mountain. On the altar was placed the Jiuzhou Ding, which was dedicated to pacifying the world.

Near the altar was the second barrier. The technique of the barrier was even more mysterious and profound. It was not something that ordinary people could break. Even the disciples of the Wenxin Sect could not break it. But the two of them chanted the incantation and performed the ritual together. This time, it took about an incense stick of time to break the last layer of the barrier.

After this illusion disappeared, the next scene that appeared was that after the Jiuzhou Ding was stolen, the entire mountain gate was in chaos. Everyone suspected that there was a traitor in the sect, because the barrier magic of the Wenxin Sect could not be broken by just anyone, not to mention the double seal. How could an outsider reach the top of the mountain without being noticed!

The ones who were most skilled in the art of setting up barriers in the sect were Lu Xin and several of his disciples, so there was no doubt that they became the objects of suspicion.

Cui Ren would not miss this golden opportunity. After hearing the news, he immediately took several of his disciples to prepare for revenge. He wanted to take this opportunity to maliciously frame Lu Xin and make sure that he had committed embezzlement. If Lu Xin's reputation was ruined, then he would be the only candidate for the leader.

On that day, Cui Ren, Lin Yifeng, Lu Yusheng and Zhai Tian gathered all the people in the mountain sect, including the sect leader, to question Lu Xin and his disciples Leng Feiren, Mu Hanxing and Qi Baige.

Everyone gathered at the top of the mountain. The scene was spectacular and tense. The words were so intense that it seemed as if they had determined Lu Xin's guilt.

"Senior Lu...is this true?" A junior looked at Lu Xin with doubt.

This look and question made Tang Huanyun extremely angry: "What are you doubting? Did you see it with your own eyes? "

The young man immediately shrank behind the crowd and dared not speak.

"Everyone in the Wenxin Sect knows that you, Lu Xin, are the only one who knows how to break such an advanced barrier. Your disciples are even more suspicious! Especially Mu Hanxing!" Cui Ren stood up and openly pointed at the master and disciple.

Even if it was his disciple who made a mistake, Lu Xin couldn't get rid of the responsibility. Moreover, everyone knew that his female disciple had great spiritual power and could learn magic much faster than others. She might have already mastered the art of barrier like his master.

At first, Lu Xin just explained calmly that his disciple was in trouble. Suddenly, he stepped forward angrily and shouted: "You suspect me, that's all! Why do you have to wrongly accuse my disciple! How old is she!"

Leng Feiren, who was standing aside, lowered his head, his eyes were cold, and no emotion could be seen on his face.

"Oh?" Cui Ren narrowed his eyes. "So, you admit it? You are so good, Lu Xin. The head of the sect treats you well, why do you act like this? I have heard rumors that you wanted to open up a new territory, a place where all beings can be equal and live in harmony... Could it be that you need this Jiuzhou Ding as the sacred weapon for your founding of the country!?"

"You... have no evidence at all, so what crime should you be charged for framing your fellow disciples like this!?" Lu Xin asked angrily.

"All right."

At this time, the head sect leader standing aside frowned and spoke.

As soon as the leader opened his mouth, everyone fell silent and no one dared to say anything more.

The head of the sect continued, "The world is vast and full of talented people. How can we hastily conclude that Lu Xin and his disciples are the ones who stole the tripod just because they are good at this technique? Now, the most important thing is that everyone should work together to travel through the three realms and find the person who stole the tripod and make him return the things to our sect. For now, don't be suspicious of each other and lose your composure. Do you hear me?"

Everyone nodded, with awe on their faces: "Yes."

Afterwards, teams were formed inside the mountain gate and went to the three realms to find out the whereabouts of the Jiuzhou Ding. However, there was another thing on Lu Xin's mind.

In addition to finding the missing tripod, the monster that caused the demise of the Sanjue Sect is still at large and no one knows where it has gone. Leng Zongquan is his brother, so he naturally has the responsibility to track down the monster for Leng Zongquan. So in recent years, once he got wind of it, he would go down the mountain to check it out in person, but he always fell short, or the information was simply false, resulting in nothing.

The two major tasks weighed on him, giving him a headache. He saw that his three disciples were already in their teens, and it was time for them to take on some of the responsibilities within the mountain gate, so he called the three of them over and formally assigned tasks to them.

The three of them discussed matters in his room.

Lu Xin would take extra care of his youngest disciple, Qi Baige, who was still young, so he asked her first: "Baige, hunting monsters is too dangerous. You should focus on cultivation now, so don't worry about it for now."

Qi Baige curled his lips: "Then can I follow the seniors to track down the whereabouts of Jiuzhou Ding?"

Lu Xin thought about it and felt that this matter might... be even more dangerous than hunting monsters. No one knew who the power behind it was. If it involved too many things, even things he had never seen before, wouldn't that implicate his own apprentice?
