âI wonât lie in front of you, Immortal. Today, I came to find you because of my experience.â Zhao Rimian looked at Han Mei and said, ââHowever, this matter is not only for me. Even without the experience arranged by the senior, I also hope to get the help of Benefactor Han. This matter is beneficial to our sect.â When Han Mei heard this, she sized up Zhao Rimian again.âTell me, what is it?â âI would like to invite you to join my sect,â said Zhao Rimian.
When Han Mei heard this, she couldnât help but laugh, âI donât want to be a Daoist nun.â
âThis Penniless Priest does not have such extravagant hopes. Scholar Han only wants to stay as a guest.â Zhao RiMian said.
âYou want to take the credit for guiding me?â Han Mei asked.
âIâll take part,â said Zhao Rimian.
Han Mei looked at Zhao Rimian suspiciously.
âFor a genius like you, Scholar Han, we will not treat you lightly.â â With our help, â said Zhao Rimian, â whether itâs walking in the mortal world or passing the test of that senior from the Star Palace, I believe youâll have a better chance of success.
It was not good for the two of them to help each other directly.
However, if Han Mei could borrow the Green Bull Temple, she would naturally have an extra helping hand.
However, Han Mei shook her head. â Everyone has to admit that Green Bull Temple is the leader of Taoism. Itâs naturally convenient for you to become a disciple. Iâm no exception. However, I still like someone. I have to let you down.
Zhao Rimian was silent for a moment before saying, ââSince youâve made up your mind, I canât say anything more. If you change your mind in the future, please contact me. We always welcome capable people like you.â
âThank you.â Han Mei looked at Zhao Rimian and thought for a moment before saying, âSince you came to me today, I canât let you return empty-handed. Thereâs one person you might as well pay attention to and see if you can persuade him to join your Green Bull Temple. Heâs a Taoist like you.â
Zhao Rimian was thinking about it. It seemed that the rumors were true. Hanmei had a deep relationship with the Blue Dragon Island, which was why she had rejected the recruitment of other Holy Lands so straightforwardly.
When he heard Han Meiâs words, he was slightly surprised, âââSomeone from the Dao Sect?â
Han Mei nodded,âYes, his daoist name is Ban Hai.â
Half-sea?â Zhao Rimian focused his mind and recalled for a while before shaking his head.âForgive me for my ignorance, but Iâve never heard of such a fellow cultivator.â
âHeâs at least a Martial Saint of the sixteenth realm,â Han Mei said.âlf you can persuade him to join your Green Bull Temple, itâll be much more meritorious than me going back with you.â
âMartial Saint Realm?â Zhao Shimianâs eyes turned solemn. He shouldnât be a nameless person.â
âTo be honest, Iâm also very curious about the background of this Half-Sea Dao Leader.â âBut Iâve heard that heâs not like us,â Han Mei said mysteriously.
Zhao Rimian didnât say anything and looked at Han Mei calmly.
âHeâs most likely a human transformed from a demonic dragon,â Han Mei continued.
Zhao Rimian raised his eyebrows.
There was no discrimination in education. In the history of Taoism, there had been great demons who had transformed into human forms.
However, it had been many years since he had seen such a situation in the mortal world, so when Zhao Rimian heard this, he could not make up his mind.
â Scholar Han, â he muttered, â this Taoist Banhai you know, did he only dress up as a Daoist, or did he become a Martial Saint because of my Daoism? â
In other words, was this a Demonic Saint dressed as a Taoist priest, or a Demonic Dragon that had transformed into a human?
âBased on what I saw that day,â Han Mei said,âhe should be a Martial Saint, not a Demon Saint. However, Iâm not sure if he came from the Qingwei Realm or the Mountain and Sea Realm. His cultivation base is undoubtedly a unique technique of the Daoist Sect. Itâs similar to your sect, but slightly different.â
The Qingwei Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm were vast worlds outside of the mortal world.
The former was a wonderful realm of Taoism, while the latter was a paradise for great demons.
âSo donât blame me for not reminding you. Whether or not you want to lure him into the Green Bull Temple, you can discuss it yourself.â Han Mei said.
Zhao Rimian pondered for a moment.
Whether he was a human or a demon, the Green Bull Temple, as the leader of the Red Dust Dao Sect, had to figure out the identity of a Martial Saint of unknown origins as soon as possible.
As for how he would deal with it later, that would depend on the outcome of the contact between the two parties.
To be able to figure out the background of such a mysterious person was also a great merit for him.
âDo you have a way to contact this Half-Sea Dao Leader?â asked Zhao Rimian.
âI have no way of contacting him.â Han Mei shook her head. â But you can try your luck in the West Qin Dynasty. I heard that he had a conflict with the West Qin people and tried to assassinate a prince of the West Qin several times.
Daoist Banhai had mysteriously appeared in the Yong Yue mountain range. After Han Mei and Han Zheng analyzed the situation, they concluded that he wouldnât have appeared for no reason. It was very likely that it was related to the cold silence that had caused a commotion in the mountain range.
However, Leng Ji was hard to find, while the West Qin Young Prince Li Gucheng was much easier to find.
She thought for a moment and said, âThe one who was assassinated should be the young prince of Western Qin, Li Gucheng, right?â I remember it was called that.â
âLi GuchengâŠâ Zhao Rimian nodded slowly.
Han Mei said, â Thatâs right, it should be him. Western Qin is in chaos now.
There are rumors that this Taoist Banhai is related to the descendant of the
Devil Buddha of the Misery Sea. But according to what I saw in the Yong Yue
Mountain Range, he doesnât seem to be the same as the descendant of the Misery Sea. But who knows? â
Zhao Rimian thought about it and bowed to Han Mei.âThank you for your advice, Benefactor Han. I will go to West Qin now and try my luck as you said.â
âI wish you success.â Han Mei waved her hand.
Zhao Rimian did not stay any longer and left.
The woman in red watched him disappear and suddenly became happy. She smiled and said, âIf I was really a jinx, he wouldnât be able to find me no matter how hard he tried. I knew it. Iâm loved by everyone. How could I be a jinx?â
The Han Second Young Lady immediately hummed a little tune and left happily.
After she left, Chen Luoyangâs clone, Daoist Banhai, appeared with a resentful expression.
This girlâs Calamity seemed to be random at the moment. It was impossible for it to sweep all the targets within its range at the same time.
Daoist Priest Little Zhao had survived, but Daoist Banhai, whom he was looking for, had suffered.
Taoist Banhai, who was secretly observing Han Mei and Zhao Rimian, suppressed and refined three streams of black dragon energy in his body.
Suddenly, he lost one of his inner breaths and almost went berserk on the spot.
Fortunately, he didnât have to face the attacks of powerful opponents like the previous Unpeaceful Demon Monk, so he could quickly adjust his inner breath.
He was now certain that the sudden abnormality of the Unpeaceful Demonic Monk was due to Han Mei.
This â calamity â was too overbearing. It came so suddenly that it completely caught people off guard.
Daoist Banhai shook his head resentfully.
Chen Luoyang collected his distracted thoughts and began to seriously think.
Han Mei suddenly pointed out a path for Zhao Rimian and pushed Daoist Banhai out.
How would Green Bull Temple react?
Daoist Banhaiâs Martial Saint cultivation base was naturally more important than Martial Emperor Han Meiâs.
The problem was that he was even more mysterious than Han Mei, who had been a lone wolf for many years. Green Bull Temple would probably be suspicious and not trust Taoist Banhai so easily.
As for Chen Luoyang, he was also thinking about whether it was beneficial or harmful to let Daoist Banhaiâs avatar enter the Green Bull Monastery.
One of Daoist Banhaiâs secrets was the Tusita Heavenly Net, the most precious treasure of the Green Bull Temple. That was why he had such a pure Taoist cultivation.
Not many people in the Green Bull Temple had come into contact with the Tusita Heavenly King, but at least Ye Canmian had.
Xu Peng of the Blue Dragon Island couldnât see the mystery of the White Jade Dragon Bone in the Half-Sea Pathâs body in a short time, but it might not be the case if they spent more time together.
It was the same situation for Green Bull Temple. The top experts in the temple could still see through it.
Fortunately, the Green Bull Abbey Dean was not around.
As Chen Luoyang pondered, he got his clone, Daoist Banhai, to follow Zhao Rimian to the West Qin Imperial Capital, Zhengyang City.
Daoist Priest Little Zhao went to the West Qin Empire in a low-key manner.
Although he wasnât as famous as Ye Canmian and Zhang Chunmian, he was now a rising young pride in the Green Bull Temple.
The appearance of the successor of the Azure Ox Temple in the Western Qin territory was an extremely sensitive matter to the Western Qin Empire, the buddha holy land, the western paradise, and even the Bitter Sea lineage that was planning to expand their territory.
Zhao Rimian had to be cautious.
And the person he was looking for, the West Qin Young Lord Li Gucheng, was also under tight protection because he had been assassinated several times in the Yong Yue mountain range.
Zhao Rimian spent a lot of effort before he finally saw Young Prince Li.
Young Li Wangyeâs face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and he looked extremely weak. Although he tried to pull himself together, anyone could see that he had not recovered from his serious injuries.
âPriest Zhao, why are you here?â Li Gucheng asked slowly.
âIâm afraid that Iâm disturbing Your Highnessâs rest.â â In order not to disturb Your Highnessâs recuperation, â Zhao Rimian said, â Iâll cut to the chase. The reason Iâm here today is because of the assassin from that day. â
âOh, do you know who the assassin is?â Li Gucheng looked at him.
Zhao Rimian shook his head gently. â I donât know, but I heard that itâs a Taoist senior with the Daoist name Ban Hai. Thatâs why Iâm here to investigate. Your Highness, youâve interacted with him before. I wonder if you have any clues? â
Young Li Wangye looked at the other party for a long time and slowly said, âGreen Bull Temple doesnât know anything?â
â Iâm here on my masterâs orders, â Zhao Rimian said. â I donât know much. Iâve never even heard of the name of Banhai. Please enlighten me, Your Highness.
âGreat Qinâs experts have been searching for this person for the past few days. Perhaps there will be results later. At that time, Iâll ask Daoist Zhao to discuss it with us.â âYour sect is the leader of all the sects in the world,â Li Gucheng said slowly.âl hope your sect can give me an explanation for this matter.â
âI will definitely report this to the temple.â Zhao Rimian bowed to Li Gucheng.
âââThank you, Your Highness.â
âSure.â Li Gucheng waved his hand, and there were servants to send him off.
After Daoist Priest Little Zhao left, Young Prince Liâs sickly appearance instantly disappeared and he became lively again. His aura was hidden but not revealed, and he was far more powerful than before.
Li Gucheng pondered over Zhao Rimianâs intentions and remained silent..
