Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Age is always relative.

In front of Tang, Li Guanqi and Wang Buyu were just Little Li and Little Wang.

But in front of Jade Book Tower, they were merely kids.

Because after Zhang Ze ambushed them with a bug, the Jade Book Tower became particularly cautious.

Not only did it temporarily revoke the authority of the Profound Identification Treasure Mirror, it also increased the difficulty of the first layer a bit.

This time, not only did they lose the security guard's identity, but they were also given the identity of a useless person wearing clothes.

To the NPCs in Little Jin River Town, now Tang and the others were just three old men from another place.

Not only were their identities undermined, but their cultivations were also suppressed, set to the first layer of Qi Cultivation.

It's comparable to the energetic old man doing gymnastics on the park's horizontal bar at four in the morning.

...

In the Jade Book Illusion Realm, the sun was just rising.

Li opened his eyes, feeling his lost cultivation and was a bit surprised.

Honestly, he didn't expect the scene in this Jade Book Illusion to feel so real.

During the Dongqi era, the Illusion Realm Technique reached its peak, but because the secret technique was completely controlled by the Dongqi royal family, it was lost when Dongqi fell.

After the Six Sects reorganized the East Continent's order, the effort to revive the glory of illusion techniques had been fraught with difficulties, relying almost entirely on archaeology, with progress being virtually nil.

This Jade Book Tower truly represents a major success in archaeology.

Li, adapting to his currently weak qi sensitivity, became even more interested in this Jade Book Illusion Realm, curious.

Just like when he first climbed the mountain in his youth.

The pure sound of the Jade Book Tower rang in his ears, just as his disciple said, the first task is to hunt a tiger, the second is to suppress the rebellion.

Interesting.

As the faint golden barrier around them dissipated, Li felt more things: the smell of rain, the faint cool mist of the early morning, and the noise made by his two companions.

Tang carelessly tidied his hairstyle with rainwater, styling his half-white, half-black hair into a Tai Chi bun, then randomly grabbed a twig from the roadside and stuck it in.

The last time he styled his hair this way was when he took the position of the Sect Leader, and now, thousands of years later, fortunately, his skill hadn't dulled.

As for the old fat Wang Buyu, he was searching all over himself, and after fumbling for a while, he finally retrieved twenty copper coins from his inner pocket.

Li also checked his own pockets and found he also had twenty copper coins.

Presumably, this was his startup fund.

"Taoist Tang, what should we do?"

Now that the cultivation of the three of them was pulled to the same level by the Jade Book Tower, whether by sentiment or reason, Tang, who had the most experience traveling south and north, should lead.

And Tang thought the same.

While in Spirit Deer Valley, Tang had Zhang Ze transcribe the Ancestral Master's little rebellion diary. On the way to Jade Book Tower, Tang had already memorized and written it out by heart.

With an open book test, how could he fail?

"You two wait here for a bit, Taoist I will go ahead and scout the way."

With that, Tang straightened his back, walked toward the city gate with the Kui Star Step, slightly raised his head, half-squinted his eyes, and made a gesture of holding a duster in front of his chest, the standard image of a transcendent person.

Upon seeing Tang's demeanor, Brother Dao and his little followers at the gate were somewhat stunned and looked puzzled and uncertain.

Until Tang got close, Brother Dao's expression suddenly solidified, and without further doubt, he waved his hand directly.

"Take action!"

Just like that, very quick.

The few government officials behind Brother Dao immediately stepped forward with knives and apprehended Tang directly.

Li Guanqi, "?"

Hey, wasn't he supposed to scout the way?

Not only was Li surprised, but Tang, the person involved, also didn't understand the situation. Just as he was about to open his mouth to start blathering, Brother Dao directly drew his knife, pointing it at Tang's neck.

"White Ox, gag this old man and send him to jail, damn it, finally, we can report completion." Brother Dao laughed heartily.

"I knew it, Brother Dao, you're going to have great luck today, the last day, and here comes a foolish Taoist delivering himself." The little lackey called White Ox flattered Brother Dao.

"This old man can't really be one of those Taoist's people, can he?" said one of the lackeys.

"I doubt it. That little Taoist was already chased into the mountains by our Town Lord's people, no way he'd dare show up near the town again." White Ox was dismissive.

"Hey, do you think this Taoist might be an outsider and doesn't know about the affairs here?" Lackey No. 2 chimed in.

"Who cares about this or that, if that's the case, it's just his bad luck. Anyway, bros, we can wrap it up today." Brother Dao chuckled.

Several officers and Brother Dao chatted about these matters at the city gate, right in front of the involved party.

In this scenario set by the Jade Book Tower, at this point in time.

The flood just subsided, corpses were floating all over outside the city, while the city remained peaceful. The Ancestral Master had already started making moves, and the Town Lord also caught wind of it.

But the foolish Town Lord thought this was just a small ripple in his prosperous life.

Randomly arresting a few Daoists to make up the numbers, calming the people's hearts, then invite the town's enshrined cultivators to take action, naturally this matter would be resolved.

And obviously, Tang was the one set up as the innocent wrongly accused.

However, upon deeper investigation, it's not exactly a case of wrongful accusation, after all, he really was a few generations of direct disciple of the rebel leader.

It's just that this matter didn't match the official history of Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Ancestral Master's little rebellion diary.

Official history and the rebellion diary both never mentioned this event.

Both the diary and history recount that before the rebellion, the Ancestral Master was extremely secretive, and at the moment of uprising, launched a blitz attack with such swiftness that it caught everyone off guard.
