"Perhaps it was his first time committing murder, Tianqing was very flustered and didn't confirm whether Yunlai was really dead or not. After taking the notebook, he dumped the body in the woods."

"Yunlai knew that with Tianqing's cautious nature, he would definitely return to bury the body again."

"So after that, he waited for Tianqing's arrival."

"As expected by Yunlai, Tianqing returned to the Seeking Immortality Temple once more and searched for his body in the woods where he originally dumped it."

"Unfortunately, Tianqing never expected that Yunlai wasn't dead at all."

"So when Yunlai appeared, Tianqing was scared half to death and accidentally stumbled down the hill, breaking his right leg."

"Yunlai forced everything out of him, and upon learning that Dongyang had also been harmed and framed for all the crimes, Yunlai's intent to kill could no longer be restrained."

"Despite Tianqing's desperate pleas, he ultimately died at Yunlai's hands."

"Yunlai decided to use Tianqing's scheme to fake his own death as well. Therefore, he found an elderly loner in a nearby village who had a similar physique to him."

"After killing the old man, he dressed him in his own clothes, and buried him together with Tianqing in that forest..."

Lu Heng recounted the experience of the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader succinctly.

"So that's how it was!"

Taoist Xuancheng sighed lightly after listening.

It seems that Tianqing was indeed ruthless, having harmed both Yunlai and Dongyang in succession.

But the last thing he expected was for Yunlai to be alive, and in the end, to kill him in return.

Decades of friendship, not worth mentioning at all!

Of course, Yunlai was not a soft-hearted person either, willing to kill an innocent old man to fake his death and remove suspicion.

On the other side, Director Li was a bit dumbfounded after hearing the story.

So all along, their Religious Affairs Bureau was being played like a monkey, right?

And never once guessed correctly?

If they hadn't discovered the anomaly with the Taiyi Dao Sect Leader's body, they might still be in the dark.

Thinking of this, Director Li couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

"Old Taoist, where is Yunlai now?"

Taoist Xuancheng asked again.

"Yunlai is already dead!"

Lu Heng gently stroked his long beard and said solemnly, "After faking his own death, Yunlai went to a village at the foot of the Seeking Immortality Temple mountain to study the old Taoist's notebook."

"The old Taoist might as well tell you the truth, the cultivation techniques recorded in that notebook, even the old Taoist himself doesn't know whether they're genuine or not, or whether there are any pitfalls or traps."

"After self-harming, Yunlai discovered that he couldn't cultivate according to the methods recorded."

"Several days passed without any progress."

"In his frustration, he couldn't help but reflect on his actions during this time."

"Under the torment of pain and remorse, his old wounds recurred, and coupled with his advanced age, he eventually died as his life ran out."

"Alas!"

Taoist Xuancheng sighed again.

Who would have thought Yunlai would eventually escape death?

"Taoist Zhenyuan, Taoist Xuancheng, I'd better go report to the police!"

Director Li stammered.

"Go ahead!"

Lu Heng nodded slightly.

After Director Li left, he continued, "Young friend Xuancheng, this time I came for another matter I want to discuss with you."

"Old master, please speak!"

Taoist Xuancheng expressed slight curiosity.

He wondered what this near all-knowing "Immortal" had to discuss with him.

Lu Heng glanced at "Qingfeng" beside him and smiled, "The old Taoist promised little Qingfeng that his terminal illness would be cured."

"Unfortunately, the Three-Stripe Clear Spirit Pill on the old Taoist has lost ninety-nine percent of its potency due to age, so it couldn't cure him."

"During my last outing, the old Taoist has already found some clues about my friend Xiao's whereabouts."

"So the old Taoist plans to take little Qingfeng down the mountain, to ask my friend Xiao to help treat him..."

"This is good news!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Taoist Xuancheng's usually expressionless face.

The blood cancer of his beloved disciple had become a personal concern.

Unfortunately, his medical skills were average, and he could only treat minor ailments.

In the face of a terminal illness like blood cancer, he was truly at a loss.

Now Taoist Zhenyuan, this Immortal Taoist, is willing to take his disciple for treatment, he naturally felt immense joy.

"Master, I..."

"Qingfeng" followed the script written by Lu Heng, showing reluctance.

Taoist Xuancheng, seeing this, laughed, "You silly child, Taoist Zhenyuan willing to take you for treatment is a fortune accumulated over ten lifetimes!"

"Once you are cured of that terminal illness, you can come back, can't you?"

"Since I took you up the mountain, you've rarely been off the mountain. Now you've grown up, it's time to see the outside world."

"Yes, Master!"

"Qingfeng," biting his lips and nodding with deep reluctance, said.

"Then I'll trouble the old master!"

Taoist Xuancheng solemnly bowed to show his heartfelt thanks.

"Young friend, you're being too polite!"

"The old Taoist will naturally keep his promise."

Seeing the master's demeanor, Lu Heng was quite moved as well.

But for the future, this act must continue to play out.

"Rest assured, young friend, once Qingfeng's terminal illness is cured, the old Taoist will immediately bring him back."

Lu Heng promised and then gently patted "Qingfeng" on the shoulder, smiling, "Say farewell to your master!"

"Master, I'll be back soon!"

"Qingfeng," rubbing his reddened eyes, held back his tears.

"Make sure to listen to the old master outside, and don't throw any tantrums!"

"I'll be waiting for the good news of your recovery!"

The rims of Taoist Xuancheng's eyes also became a bit red.

After all, he had raised the young disciple before him from childhood, caring for him for eighteen years.

The feelings between them, one could say, were like those of father and son.

Now that the young disciple was about to leave, he inevitably felt some melancholy.

"Young friend Xuancheng, let's say goodbye for now!"

Lu Heng took one last look at Master Xuancheng, then transformed into a white shadow, disappearing with the Shadow Beast from Qingyun Hall.

Watching as the two suddenly disappeared, Taoist Xuancheng showed a hint of a smile.

...

After sprinting out of the Dragon Tiger Mountain area, Lu Heng finally stopped.

The acting earlier seemed a bit exaggerated, making him somewhat uncomfortable.

It took a good while for him to get over it.

"After going down the mountain this time, who knows when I'll be back?"

Lu Heng looked distantly at Dragon Tiger Mountain and murmured to himself.

Next, he was going to start his own plan.

And the content of this plan is to cause trouble!

Isn't the Celestial Destiny System supposed to change others' destinies?

Then he'll create some major events and harvest more life spans.

By then, once he cultivates to the Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm, able to take on nuclear missiles physically, why worry about his identity being exposed?

As for the first trouble after coming down the mountain...

Lu Heng quickly thought of Douhu Live.

He had donated all his live-streaming earnings, so why hadn't there been any response?

Where exactly did the money go?
