The news that nearly half of Tianyin Temple's Buddhist temple was destroyed, Tianyin Temple's mountain protective formation was almost scrapped, and Tianyin Temple's abbot Pu Hong was seriously injured quickly spread throughout the world.
Naturally, it also reached the ears of Qingyun Sect.
Because Xiao Yicai was in the Blood Refining Hall, even if he knew some information in advance, he could not pass on the information regardless of the current situation when his identity was revealed.
If it was a major matter related to the damage to Qingyun Sect, including the Blood Refining Hall's plan to take action against Qingyun Sect, once Xiao Yicai learned about it, Xiao Yicai would still choose to inform Qingyun Sect as soon as possible.
But this time, it's not a big deal.
Although it is not a trivial matter, on the one hand, it has already happened and cannot be stopped or changed. On the other hand, it is not worth Xiao Yicai's undercover identity. After all, Xiao Yi is the only undercover agent in Qingyun Sect. Considering the importance of the status of a disciple who has joined the upper echelons of the Blood Refining Hall, Xiao Yicai's safety is not inferior to that of Lu Yuan, the Qingyun Daozi.
Therefore, Xiao Yi did not dare to notify the Qingyun Sect immediately. Even though he was extremely sad and angry, he had to ensure his own safety first, and then he could go to the Qingyun Sect and report the information he already knew to Xuan Xuan.
Qingyun Sect really can’t afford the loss!
Tianyin Temple is a lesson learned from Qingyun Sect!
As soon as Tianjiao left, his core strength dropped sharply.
Xiao Yicai made a simple calculation and realized that although there were quite a few geniuses in the Qingyun Sect, none of them could compete with Demon Son Lu Yuan or the Master of the Blood Refining Hall.
Qi Hao can't.
Even he can't beat him. Facing the terrifying leader of the Blood Refining Hall, even if he doesn't use the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, he will be defeated in one move!
Neither can Lu Xueqi from Xiaozhu Peak.
According to the currently known intelligence analysis, Xiaozhufeng Lu Xueqi is undoubtedly the culprit who caused Lu Yuan to seek death. Lu Yuan will show mercy to Lu Xueqi, but the remaining three geniuses will not show mercy to Lu Xueqi.
The leader of the Blood Refining Hall also said it.
I just admire Qingyun Daozi Lu Yuan.
In other words, whether these geniuses should look down on them or not, even if they are Lu Yuan's relatives, has nothing to do with relatives, friends or anything like that.
Therefore, based on some scattered calculations, Xiao Yicai really did not dare to gamble based on the part of the Qingyun Sect information and the information about the Blood Refining Hall that Xiao Yicai currently had.
If he dies, Qingyun Sect will completely collapse in the future!
If Lu Yuan had not died, even if he died immediately, there would not be any big changes. The Qingyun Sect's future pillar would not have collapsed, and everything would be fine.
Therefore, when Xiao Yicai found a good opportunity and sent the known information to Daoxuan, two days had passed since the people from Tianyin Temple came to hold him accountable.
In the past two days, Daoxuan was also very angry.
certainly.
It's not aimed at Lu Xueqi.
It's not aimed at Lu Yuan.
It's about the matter itself.
Wan Jianyi naturally couldn't sit still. Whether the Dragon-Slaying Sword was lost or not was still a trivial matter. After all, for Wan Jianyi, the symbolic meaning of the Dragon-Slaying Sword was greater than its practical significance.
What saddened Wan Jianyi the most was receiving the news of Lu Yuan's death.
But what Wan Jianyi couldn't accept even more was that Lu Yuan's body after his death was snatched away by Lu Yuan, the demon son of the Ghost King Sect!
Back then, he led a group of junior disciples to fight through the wilderness.
The only thing left was Suzaku, the Holy Envoy of the Ghost King Sect.
As a result, now, the body of the closed disciple has been snatched away by the genius of the Ghost King Sect. From the perspective of the whole process, even if no one said anything, Wan Jianyi felt an inexplicable sense of ridicule.
It was as if fate was deliberately teasing him.
It was not easy to make the decision to go out.
It was not easy to make the decision to change my name.
It was not easy to cultivate a close disciple that he was proud of.
As a result, when we should be most happy, we received a piece of bad news, and with this bad news came one blow after another.
Therefore, these days, no one dared to enter the back mountain ancestral hall of Tongtian Peak. No matter Shuiyue or Cangsong, even if Suru went there in person, they were all forced back by the sword energy surrounding the back mountain ancestral hall.
The only one who can go in is Daoxuan.
However, even Daoxuan had a big fight when he went in to meet Wan Jianyi for the first time.
Fortunately, Daoxuan's cultivation level is higher than Wan Jianyi's.
As for Wan Jianyi, he doesn't have a dragon-slaying sword yet.
Otherwise, even Daoxuan estimated that he would not come back unscathed.
Facing the furious Wan Jianyi, even Daoxuan, now the head of Qingyun, felt an unspeakable pressure.
As for everyone else…
They were all forced back by the sword energy, and they were talking nonsense!
I can’t even meet him!
The person sent by Tianyin Temple to hold him accountable was Pu De, the only one among the four great monks who was slightly injured. It would obviously be inappropriate if there was no suitable person to deal with it.
Therefore, except for Cangsong, Shuiyue, and Tian Buyi who were waiting hard at the back mountain ancestral hall, the rest of the leaders were all captured by Daoxuan to cooperate with each other and temporarily delay the accountability of Tianyin Temple. .
Tianyin Temple is now trying to force Qingyun Sect to admit its mistake.
As long as the Qingyun Sect lets go first, everything will be easy to talk about.
Because in the incident where Tianyin Temple was damaged, except for Demon Zi Lu Yuan and Blood Refining Hall, the other several practicing sects did not know the inside story.
In this way, Tianyin Temple was given an opportunity to make up for the time difference.
As long as the Qingyun Sect is forced to admit their mistakes, the matter in Caomiao Village can naturally be opened up. Anyway, the Qingyun Sect will admit what Qingyun Taoist Lu Yuan did, not what Qingyun traitor Lu Yuan did. At that time, even if Even though he knew the truth of the matter, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, defaulting to tit-for-tat.
After all, Qingyun Daozi Lu Yuan was well prepared.
Before going up the mountain, he had severed ties with the Qingyun Sect.
The Qingyun Sect can completely turn its back on anyone.
Then, by holding on to the issue of Caomiao Village, Tianyin Temple, which was already struggling in terms of strength, once again suffered a devastating blow in terms of reputation.
As for those stone tablets...
After all, Tianyin Temple did not sit still and wait for death.
Pu Hong, the host, took action despite being injured.
In the end, no damage was caused to the stone monument.
Destroyed, it certainly cannot be destroyed.
Of course, you can't move it.
Therefore, Tianyin Temple came up with a clever idea.
The locations where each stone monument is located are completely covered or buried with earth, stone or wood, forming small earth bags of varying sizes.
It's ugly. It's a bit ugly.
But as long as Qingyun Sect keeps quiet, even if the Ghost King Sect and Blood Refining Hall announce the truth, Tianyin Temple can still cover up the truth by saying that the demon thieves "slandered" Tianyin Temple.
After all, the impact of this matter is too great.
Fights between immortal cultivators are very common.
Even if a mortal hears about this, they will at most express concern in words, but will not provide assistance at all in terms of actions.
Fights between mortals are also very common.
Who hasn't had a quarrel yet?
It is normal for some conflicts to arise between neighbors.
But both the righteous path and the demonic path are trying their best to maintain the high-end game approach, and will not send some elite teams to the opponent's rear, especially on mortal territory, to cause damage to mortals.
Therefore, mortals have great respect for immortals.
I don't have much idea about the two paths of good and evil.
There is a sense of belonging.
But as long as the immortal cultivators don't take action against mortals, mortals are still willing to sit in the secular world and let the upper class immortal cultivators beat them to death.
This is the attitude of mortals.
The reason why the Demonic Way is called the Demonic Way is mainly because there are various unwritten and hidden rules in various cities under the Demonic Way.
But things like massacre of villages for no reason are prohibited as much as possible even by the devil!
Therefore, Puzhi, one of the four great monks of Tianyin Temple, was the murderer who massacred Caomiao Village. This news must be blocked no matter what!
Therefore, Tianyin Temple came in a hurry.
The attitude is also very bad when it comes to discussing things.
It can be said that he often poses as if he is overturning the table.
It's a pity that Daoxuan is an old fox.
Although he still didn't understand the reason why Lu Yuan did this, and he didn't know the ins and outs of this matter, after receiving the accountability from Tianyin Temple for the first time, Daoxuan still relied on the Some vague intuitions chose to procrastinate.
At the same time, we started to arrange for several elders to inquire about the news.
Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
This is what Daoxuan thinks.
But before several elders came back, the news Xiao Yicai sent back with a flying eagle had already reached Daoxuan's hands.
Daoxuan watched a third of it and couldn't sit still.
Seeing the letter that was rolled up to the extreme but still had the thickness of a fist, Daoxuan felt tired for the first time, and felt uncontrollable anger for the first time.
Daoxuan didn't read the rest of the narrative.
Because Xiao Yicai gave a simple overview of the whole thing at the beginning, and the following descriptions are just supplements and detailed explanations of the previous ones.
After reading it, you can understand the reason in more detail.
Even without looking, you can still get a rough idea of the ins and outs.
Therefore, while Daoxuan arranged for Zeng Shuchang and the other leaders to continue to delay Pu De of Tianyin Temple, he flew up, turned into a stream of light, and rushed towards the ancestral hall on the back mountain of Tongtian Peak.
In a moment, Daoxuan had arrived outside the ancestral hall.
Cangsong, who was kneeling and waiting, naturally saw it too.
He quickly greeted Shuiyue and Tian Buyi who were sitting cross-legged not far away. At the same time, he stood up tremblingly and shouted loudly to Daoxuan in the sky:
"Master, can you take a few of us to see him?"
"Even if it's just a one-time meeting, it's okay."
Daoxuan lowered his eyebrows slightly.
He glanced at Cangsong and Tian Buyi, and finally focused on Shuiyue. After being silent for a long time, he finally sighed: "It's because he doesn't want to see you."
Then, he raised the letter in his hand.
"If it were before, I could take you in."
"Now, although I can take you in, I believe that the person he least wants to see right now is Junior Sister Shuiyue."
"Just now, a letter came from Yicai."
"Write everything on it."
"The master of the Blood Refining Hall has the ability to deduce the secrets of heaven."
"Therefore, for this person, the truth of this matter is actually quite clear. Yicai also listened to this person's personal account of what happened. Moreover, Yicai was one of the main personnel in the attack on Tianyin Temple this time."
"There is no doubt as to the authenticity of these messages."
"That's why I can't take you in."
"This matter is just too complicated."
"If you are patient, you can continue to wait."
"I will ask him once after I get in."
"As for whether he wants to see you, especially whether he wants to see you, Junior Sister Shuiyue..."
Having said this, Daoxuan pondered for a moment.
Immediately, he added in a low voice: "I really can't say."
Shuiyue stood there in astonishment.
His eyes flickered for a moment and he nodded.
She guessed why.
After all, her disciple personally killed Senior Brother Wan's disciple. Although it was Lu Yuan's choice, if she thought about it from his perspective, she probably wouldn't accept it. Even if she knew it was to express her anger, she would continue to express her anger.
You can't vent your anger on a dead person, right?
That is purely irrational behavior!
What's more, now even the body can't be found!
Who knows where Demon Lu Yuan will bury Lu Yuan’s body? !
Cangsong was also silent.
He was drowning in betrayal and guilt.
Betrayal refers to betraying the Qingyun Sect.
Guilt refers to not protecting Lu Yuan well.
Cangsong does not lack the courage to admit his mistakes, just like Cangsong could betray the Qingyun Sect for Wan Jianyi. Cangsong never lacks courage, all he lacks is reasons.
Therefore, at this point, Cangsong was actually mentally prepared to be killed by Senior Brother Wan with a sword, but before being killed by a sword, Cangsong still felt that it would be better to explain everything first.
Maybe you can trick the Ghost King Sect by pointing it out? !
Who asked Lu Yuan, the demon son of the Ghost King Sect, to take away the body of Senior Brother Wan’s closed disciple? !
Cangsong knew that his crime was unpardonable.
But before you die, you can take one with you.
Therefore, both Shuiyue and Tian Buyi were sitting cross-legged, and only Cangsong was kneeling, and they knelt for two days and nights, which made Tian Buyi a little scared just looking at them.
Tian Buyi was really anxious.
Hearing Daoxuan say this, his anxious mood became even more anxious. He thought for a moment, then ignored Shuiyue and Cangsong's attitude and suggested:
"He is my apprentice after all."
"From the beginning to the end, I am also his master."
"As a master, I feel I have the right to know."
The corners of Daoxuan's eyes twitched slightly.
It seemed that he thought of something unpleasant from Tian Buyi.
But after a moment of silence, Daoxuan still had to admit the truth in Tian Buyi's words, and could not refute the facts Tian Buyi presented.
Therefore, Daoxuan had no choice but to sigh, look at the ancestral hall not far away that was filled with sword energy, calm down his anger, and asked softly:
"Did you hear that too?"
"I really have something important to do when I come here this time."
"If you don't see me, you will really regret it for the rest of your life."
"It's quite complicated."
"It concerns Lu Yuan's actions and the future attitude of the Qingyun Sect. Not only Dazhu Peak and Tongtian Peak are involved, Xiao Zhufeng and the other geniuses are also more or less involved."
"Are you really not going to see me?"
"Cangsong has nothing to do with it."
"But, can you really bear not seeing your old friend?"
There was silence in the ancestral hall.
After a while, part of the sword energy suddenly dissipated.
A relatively safe path was opened.
Daoxuan turned around and gestured, then stepped forward.
Cang Song, Shui Yue and Tian Buyi quickly followed.
After a while, the four people arrived outside the ancestral hall.
Opening the door, an old man with white hair and white robes came into view.
Wan Jianyi's robes were messy, the ground in the ancestral hall was covered with fallen leaves, and four or five wine jars were scattered on the ground. At a glance, even if it goes without saying, it can make people feel desolate and desolate. feel.
Seeing this, Cang Song's nose was not only sore.
Shuiyue turned his head away and sniffed slightly.
Tian Buyi lowered his head and stood quietly, like a primary school student who knew his mistakes. His silence made Dao Xuan feel uncomfortable.
But Wan Jianyi didn't pay attention to these three people.
After just glancing at the three people, he looked at Daoxuan silently. After pondering for a long time, he slowly asked: "Is the original agreement like this now?"
Daoxuan's lips moved twice.
But nothing was said.
Wan Jianyi slapped the table angrily, and the stone table suddenly broke into large and small pieces. Cangsong was so excited that he knelt down on the ground. Shuiyue also lowered his head. Tian Buyi still maintained his autistic state.
However, Wan Jianyi did not pay attention to these three frightened birds. He just stared at Daoxuan and asked word by word:
"Did you promise me that you would hand Qingyun Sect into his hands?"
"Did you say that he is the future of Qingyun Sect?"
"Is this how you protect the future of Qingyun Sect?"
Daoxuan was speechless.
After all, the two of them had broken up last time they met.
So this time, Daoxuan could only hand over the letter in his hand, and at the same time, whispered:
"This is a letter from Yi Cai."
"He is working as an undercover agent in the Blood Refining Hall."
"The master of the Blood Refining Hall is another genius in the devil's path. He is best at deducing the secrets of heaven. The truth of the matter is all on this piece of paper."
"No matter what decision you make, I still hope you will read this letter and the ins and outs of this matter before making a final decision."
Wan Jianyi's eyes twitched obviously, but in the end he slowly raised his hand, took the letter, glanced at the three junior brothers and sisters, and asked slowly: "Do they know what's going on? "
Daoxuan shook his head: "I don't know."
"Then tell them!"
"I guess I'm not in the mood to tell stories!"
Wan Jian said while smoothing the letter paper.
Daoxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But looking at the curious eyes of Cangsong, Shuiyue and Tian Buyi, they softened their hearts and softly summarized the whole thing:
"This matter starts with Caomiao Village."
"The massacre of Caomiao Village was caused by Pu Zhi."
Tian Buyi and Cangsong said in unison: "What?"
"Don't interrupt, listen to me!"
After Daoxuan scolded him, he didn't bother to pay attention to the two junior brothers who were still in shock, and continued to state along this line of thinking:
"Puzhi wants to learn from Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao to integrate the two techniques to pursue a higher realm, and even want to pursue the elusive immortality."
"Therefore, after being rejected by me and you, as well as the leaders of the other lines, on the way down the mountain, due to injuries, the evil energy in the blood-devouring beads attacked my heart, and I came up with the idea of massacring Caomiao Village."
"Puzhi taught the Brahma Prajna to Zhang Xiaofan and wanted Zhang Xiaofan to fulfill his last wish, but unexpectedly Lu Yuan noticed something was wrong."
"Lu Yuan fought against the master of the Blood Refining Hall."
"So, I took the blood-devouring bead that Pu Zhi gave to Zhang Xiaofan and went to find the master of the Blood Refining Hall, and got the truth about this matter from the master of the Blood Refining Hall."
"You all know what happens next."
"Lu Yuan goes down the mountain every year and goes to Tianyin Temple every year."
"The Buddhist disciple of Tianyin Temple knew that he was wrong, but he could not give up the kindness of Tianyin Temple. Due to his status, he could not make Tianyin Temple admit his mistake."
"And this time, it was because Lu Yuan accidentally saw that disciple of yours, Junior Sister Shuiyue, and you must also understand the character of your disciple, Junior Sister Shuiyue."
"Lu Yuan will either kill her or be killed by her."
"Those are the only two options."
"So, Lu Yuan chose the second option."
"Before he died, Lu Yuan was afraid that the Qingyun Sect would become a stepping stone for Tianyin Temple after losing him, because he saw the shamelessness of Tianyin Temple; therefore, he publicly announced his rebellion and left, carrying the Dragon-Slaying Sword. And another unknown long sword, he killed Tianyin Temple and took the Buddhist disciples of Tianyin Temple with him."
"At the same time, two hundred and forty-four monuments will be erected."
"It contains everything about Caomiao Village. The two hundred and forty-four stone tablets also coincide with the deaths of the villagers in Caomiao Village. This is the truth of the whole matter."
"Finally, Demon Son Lu Yuan of the Ghost King Sect climbs the mountain."
"Take away the bodies of Lu Yuan and Fozi."
"The master of the Blood Refining Hall was covering in the distance, and the two hundred and forty-four stone tablets also blocked the Tianyin Temple's mountain protection formation. In this way, the move that killed the Poison God in the Blood Refining Hall was Down, the damage was heavy."
Dao Xuan deliberately skipped the part about "Where did Lu Yuan accidentally see Lu Xueqi?" However, several of the people here were no longer young people. Although Dao Xuan was talking about the lake, you can understand it after thinking about it.
Tian Buyi immediately looked at Shui Yue.
After pondering for a while, he immediately asked: "Senior Sister Shuiyue, can you tell me Tian Buyi, will our disciples of Dazhu Peak always be looked down upon by your disciples of Xiaozhu Peak?"
"Junior Brother Tian!"
Daoxuan shouted sharply.
But Tian Buyi is very stubborn.
"Suru and I are not favored, so forget it. I, Tian Buyi, am incompetent and have failed Suru. It is natural for me to be ostracized by Xiaozhufeng."
"But what about Song Daren?"
"He may not be good enough, but he is absolutely reliable!"
"Okay, let's take a step back and talk!"
"Where's Lu Yuan?"
"With his talent and strength, he is good enough for anyone!"
"Let's take a step back!"
"Why can't you say it well if you have something to say?"
"Does it have to develop to the point of dividing life and death?"
"Is your apprentice satisfied now?"
"Is this what she wants to see happen?"
Tian Buyi pinched his neck and shouted.
Immediately, a cold voice was heard.
"Junior Brother Tian, stop talking!"
Tian Buyi blushed, and immediately saw that Daoxuan had not spoken. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Wan Jianyi putting down the letter.
Tian Buyi muttered several times.
In the end, I suppressed the next words.
But Shui Yue's face was already livid with anger.
It's just because of the facts that there is no refutation.
Cangsong glared at Tian Buyi like a bitch.
Daoxuan suddenly said: "What do you think we should do?"
"You speak first."
Wan Jian closed his eyes and said calmly.
Daoxuan suddenly fell silent.
After a long silence, he coughed lightly.
"Compromise to Tianyin Temple."
"This way, his reputation can be preserved."
"He has done so much, and we cannot let him bear the same stigma as you. You have a chance to wash away your stigma, but he will never have a chance in this life!"
"Making the incident in Caomiao Village public is equivalent to acknowledging his identity as Qingyun's traitor. Maybe no one can wait until he can be purged. The longer we wait, the more manpower and material resources will be consumed to purge him!"
"So, I mean make peace."
Wan Jian smiled when he heard this.
He stood up and sighed softly:
"You still don't understand him after all."
"He doesn't even want his reputation, he just wants to get the truth out of the matter. If he makes peace with Tianyin Temple, then he will die in peace!"
"I'm so proud of him!"
"So, this matter must be made public to the world!"
"I'll take the responsibility!"
"I will come out!"
"Don't punish and blame the girl."
"Because this is the only proof that he existed!"
"As long as there is one person in the world who knows the truth, he will never be tainted by the stigma. As long as we Qingyun Sect disciples always remember him, he will live forever!"
"Go forward courageously and forget about death."
"He is worthy of the Demon-Slaying Art."
"I believe that the Demon Slayer is also happy to be used by him!"
…
…
…
After this conversation.
Same day.
Qingyunmen rejected the peace talks with Tianyin Temple.
He scolded Tianyinji for his rude accountability.
Then, the truth is made public.
For a time, the whole world was talking about it.
A large number of mortals from the towns under the rule of Tianyin Temple moved with their families to various towns under the rule of Qingyun Sect. Tianyin Temple officially entered a period of irreversible decline!
Later later.
A long, long time later.
The world has given this period of history a brand-new name to mark the beginning of an era and mark the key node where the old era enters the new era:
The first year of the great conflict!
!
