Chapter 541 The Twelve Golden Immortals
In Yangzhou City, Pengyue Inn.

Li Canghai sat by the window, holding a cup of tea in his hand, watching the bustling crowd on the street.

The prosperity of Yangzhou City still attracts the yearning of people all over the world.

The bustling crowd didn't notice the slightest strangeness about the upcoming changes, and they still lived their lives step by step.

"Canghai, Tang Ao came to Yangzhou this time, I'm afraid he is going to harm you, you must be careful!" Xue Xuan sat opposite Li Canghai, and next to her was the younger sister named Lin Bixia.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently, and said, "It's okay, Tang Ao wanted to kill me, but it's not that easy. But you have been secretly investigating Tang Ao, it's really hard work."

Xue Xuan stroked her hair on her forehead, and said with a sweet smile: "Why are you so polite between us? Tang Aoruo really took refuge in Yang Guozhong, this matter is of great importance, even if you don't tell me, I will Go investigate."

"Why?" Li Canghai asked.

Xue Xuan frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, she said, "Cang Hai, I wonder if you've heard of 'Yuxu Palace'?"

Li Canghai nodded and said, "It's natural. This 'Yuxu Palace' is a sacred place in Taoist legends, and it's located on Kunlun Mountain. How could I not know?"

Xue Xuan shook her head, and said: "The 'Yuxu Palace' I'm talking about is not the dojo of Yuanshi Tianzun, but an organization."

Li Canghai was a little stunned. He took a sip of tea and pondered, "I don't know much about Jianghu. I have never heard of a 'Yuxu Palace' in Jianghu. What is this 'Yuxu Palace'? Organization? Is it the same as 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu'?"

Xue Xuan froze for a moment, waved her hands quickly, and said seriously: "'Yuxu Palace' is different from 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu', 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' is an organization that rebels. Organizations that take the responsibility of the world as their own, cannot be confused with one another.”

Li Canghai smiled and said, "I'm just saying casually, why are you so nervous? But what's so special about this organization?"

He knew that Xue Xuan would not mention this for no reason, so he asked.

"'Yuxu Palace' has only existed for more than ten years. There are 12 people in the organization, collectively known as the 'Twelve Golden Immortals'. The loyal ministers he opposes. And the 'Yuxu Palace' exists to protect those loyal ministers." Xue Xuan said.

Li Canghai stared at Xue Xuan and said with a smile, "If I'm not wrong, you must be one of the 'Twelve Golden Immortals'?"

Xue Xuan had known Li Canghai's ability for a long time, so she was not surprised that he guessed her identity, so she nodded and admitted: "Yes, I am not only the elder Ke Qing of the Gopher Sect, but also one of the Twelve Golden Immortals." 'The people of Cihangdao'."

Li Canghai touched his chin in surprise, and said, "Among the twelve golden immortals, only Cihang Taoist is a female immortal. So, you are the only woman in this 'Yuxu Palace'?"

Xue Xuan nodded, and said: "I am indeed the only woman among the Twelve Golden Immortals. Besides me, Master Cui Huan's personal guard, Zhao Lang, is also one of them, named 'Huanglong Zhenren'."

Li Canghai gasped in surprise, this was beyond his expectations, he did not expect that the guard next to Cui Huan was also one of the 'Twelve Golden Immortals'.

"So that's the case, no wonder he has been following Cui Huan every step of the way, so it's to protect him!" Li Canghai said a few words with emotion, and asked curiously: "Then who are the other ten people?"

Xue Xuan shook her head and said, "Actually, I haven't met all of the 'Twelve Golden Immortals'. I even don't know their names. Jia Shang, some are teachers, and some are famous martial artists. Most of them, I have met them, except for the most mysterious 'Guang Chengzi'."

"Guang Chengzi?" Li Canghai took a sip of tea and said, "Guang Chengzi, in mythology, ranks first among the 'Twelve Golden Immortals', so it seems that this 'Guang Chengzi' should be even more powerful than you! "

"I'm not very clear about this, but I've heard that Guang Chengzi is likely to be a member of the royal family. As for the truth, there is no way to know." Xue Xuan said.

"A member of the royal family?" Li Canghai was a little surprised. It seemed unbelievable. How could a member of the royal family join such an unknown organization?

"Even the members of the imperial family were able to win over. Who actually established this organization?" Li Canghai asked.

"I can't tell you this right now. I can tell you when the time is right." Xue Xuan bit her lip, as if worried that Li Canghai would get angry.

Li Canghai smiled disapprovingly, and said, "I'm just asking casually, you don't need to answer. Oh, by the way, what does what you said have anything to do with Tang Ao?"

Xue Xuan said: "The 12 of us protect different loyal ministers, the real Huanglong protects Cui Huan, the pure and moral gentleman protects Du Fu, Chi Jingzi protects Wang Wei, and the late prime minister Zhang Jiuling is protected by fear of Liu Sun. And this Tang Ao It is related to the matter of Duke Jiuling."

"Oh, why?" Li Canghai wondered.

Xue Xuan said: "I don't know exactly what happened. I just know that ten years ago, Duke Jiu Ling resigned from office and went back to hiding, fearing that his grandson would accompany him as his escort. On the way, Li Linfu sent killers to hunt him down, but they were all resolved by his fearful grandson. And sent Jiu Linggong to Qiandao Lake. Li Linfu gave up the assassination after seeing several failed robberies. However, the day after they arrived at Qiandao Lake, Jiu Linggong was assassinated. Sun has disappeared without a trace since then.”

"There are other things like this? I don't know what is the cause of Jiu Linggong's death?" Li Canghai asked in surprise, rubbing his chin.

"After hearing about the death of Lord Jiuling, my mentor went to check in person, and found the 'Shadowless Needle' in the body of Lord Jiuling!" Xue Xuanxiu frowned.

"Shadow Needle? Tang Ao?" Li Canghai said subconsciously: "Do you suspect that Jiu Linggong was killed by Tang Ao?"

Xue Xuan nodded heavily, and she said solemnly: "Aside from him, who else can use the 'Shadowless Needle' to kill people?"

Li Canghai thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Tang Ao didn't seem to have taken refuge in Yang Guozhong back then, why did he want to assassinate Zhang Jiuling?"

Xue Xuan shook her head and said: "This is what we are most puzzled by. Tang Ao was the best disciple of the Tang Sect back then, and he can even be said to be the best candidate for the next head of the Tang Sect. Besides, he has no complaints or complaints with Jiu Linggong. Qiu, why do you want to assassinate Duke Jiuling? Also, where did you leave your grandson? These years, his whereabouts are unknown, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead. No one knows what happened back then."
