Chapter 3962 Qianyuan Temple

This is no small matter. I never expected that Tang Shangning's son, Tang Ziming, would also be at Qianyuan Temple.

Tang Shangning has always been very protective of his son. If he hadn't mentioned that his son was at the Taoist Academy of Qianyuan Temple, I wouldn't have known he had a son.

They were also unaware that Qian Yuan Temple had a Taoist academy, a place specifically for training successors for the Special Investigation Team.

There is a reason why the Special Investigation Team established the Taoist Academy. The main reason is that the super elites trained by the disciples of the major sects are not sent to serve in the Special Investigation Team, but are kept to bring glory to their sects. This has resulted in the Special Investigation Team not having any particularly outstanding young masters.

Therefore, the special investigation team can only train its own young experts.

At first, I couldn't understand why Tang Shangning didn't send his son to Longhu Mountain to cultivate. After all, disciples trained by major sects are definitely more reliable than those trained by Taoist academies. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized why. As a high-ranking member of the Special Investigation Team, Tang Shangning had to set an example. If he didn't send his son to a Taoist academy to cultivate, no one else would.

The key point is that these Taoist academy students basically go directly to work in the special investigation team as soon as they graduate. For someone like Tang Ziming, who has a solid background, his future is naturally limitless.

The students at this Taoist academy are certainly not ordinary people. They are probably the children of high-ranking members of the Special Investigation Team, or outstanding individuals selected from the general public to study at the Taoist academy. Although their cultivation level is not high, they must be very talented. If they were all wiped out by the Taoists, it would be a huge loss for the Special Investigation Team. What's even more terrifying is that the Special Investigation Team might face a talent gap in the future, and all the hard work they have put in over the years would be destroyed in an instant.

The person who could come up with this insidious idea must be Liu Hao, because this guy was once a student at a Taoist academy.

He was very familiar with the composition of the Taoist academy members; those children were highly talented but not very skilled, making them easy to manipulate.

These children are the Special Investigations Unit's Achilles' heel; if they were all gone, the Special Investigations Unit would suffer an unprecedented blow.

That bastard can come up with all sorts of vicious tricks.

Thinking of this, I accelerated the speed of the Divine Firmament Nine Miles even more, and more than ten minutes later, I appeared near the Qian Yuan Temple with Yuan Kong and the slovenly Taoist.

Qianyuan Temple is located on a mountain, very close to the Maoshan Sect, and can be considered a branch of the Maoshan Sect.

After we stopped, the slovenly Taoist priest looked at the Qian Yuan Temple, which was sealed off by a magic array not far away. White mist filled the surroundings, and we couldn't see anything at all.

"Luo Laoliu, what's going on at Qianyuan Temple? Tell us." I looked at the disheveled Taoist priest.

"Qianyuan Temple is actually a female Taoist temple, with most of the practitioners being female Taoist priests. Although it's near the Maoshan Sect, it's not entirely affiliated with the Maoshan Sect. Only some outer disciples of the Maoshan Sect practice there. There's also a Quanzhen Sect Taoist temple there. It seems the Special Investigation Team got involved later. I've been to Qianyuan Temple twice before, but that was a long time ago. As for what Uncle Tang said about Qianyuan Temple having a Taoist academy, that's the first time I've heard of it. We Maoshan Sect people don't really value Qianyuan Temple," the slovenly Taoist priest explained to me.

“Luo Laoliu, Daoist Yi Guan’s actions against Qian Yuan Temple are definitely motivated by ulterior motives. If they really kill the people of Qian Yuan Temple, it will not only be a heavy blow to the Special Investigation Team, but it will also serve as a warning to the Maoshan Sect. The fact that they dare to make a move under the nose of the Maoshan Sect shows that they no longer take the Maoshan Sect seriously.” I looked at the slovenly Daoist.

"This also shows that the Daoist sect has been recuperating and gradually recovering its strength. Moreover, Bai Mile's strength has definitely improved. Perhaps Bai Mile will come this time to test the strength of the Maoshan sect." The slovenly Daoist said with a solemn expression.

"Let's go, let's go take a look. Saving people is the priority." With that, I grabbed their arms again, and in two quick movements, we arrived at the foot of Qianyuan Temple.

When we arrived, we saw a group of people already gathered at the foot of the mountain.

Among them were dozens of people from the special investigation team, and seven or eight people in white Zhongshan suits. Soon, my gaze swept across the area and I saw a familiar face, Chi Lang's grandfather, also known as Elder Longtian Zhenren of Xingtang of Maoshan Sect. He was accompanied by a dozen ascetics wearing tattered Taoist robes.

As soon as we approached, several members of the Special Investigations Unit came over. One of them said, "The Special Investigations Unit is conducting a case here. All bystanders, please leave immediately."

I guessed they were from the local special investigation team, so I quickly showed them my identification: "We're one of them."

The man took my ID, glanced at it, and immediately became respectful, handing it back to me with both hands: "So you're Section Chief Wu from the General Administration. My apologies."

"It's nothing, Minister Tang sent us here. What's the situation here?" I looked at the special investigation team members.

Immediately, a middle-aged member of the special investigation team approached and said very politely, "Section Chief Wu, hello, I am Qi Hua, the head of the Zhenjiang special investigation team. You can ask me anything."

"Director Qi, could you briefly describe the situation here? How many people are there at Qian Yuan Temple? How many are students? How many are teachers? Are there any Earth Immortal level experts here to keep things under control?" I asked in one breath.

“Section Chief Wu, we just received the news and rushed over. The mountain where Qian Yuan Temple is located has been enveloped by a magic array. This array is extremely complex. Our people and the Maoshan Sect are trying to break the array, but the results are not good and the progress is very slow. There are more than 100 students from all over China in Qian Yuan Temple. They are all young people, around 20 years old. There are more than 30 teachers specializing in talismans, magic, and other subjects, as well as more than 50 female disciples from the Kun Dao Academy. Among them, there are about four or five teachers in white Zhongshan suits from the Special Investigation Team who are teaching magic. That’s the situation.” Qi Hua said hurriedly.

"Do you know how many people have come to Yiguandao?" the slovenly Taoist priest followed up with another question.

"We don't know. We didn't know when they set up the magic array here, and we never thought that anyone would dare to target the Taoist Academy. It was our oversight," Qi Hua sighed.

I nodded and walked over to Elder Longtian. The disheveled Taoist called out "Grandmaster," and Elder Longtian nodded, then looked at us and asked, "Where is Chilang?"

"Elder Longtian, Chilang and the others are still behind us, they should be here soon," I quickly replied.
