As night falls, the Duize Palace in Wuji Ruins is brightly lit at the moment. More than a dozen disciples were busy coming and going, bringing plates of exquisite snacks, melons and fruits to the hall.
A man in white clothes in his forties, leading a group of Yun family masters, stood in front of the gate of Duize Palace. This man in white is none other than Yun Jingtian, the current head of the Yun family.
Among the countless sects and families of Jiuzhou Zhengdao, Yun Jingtian is the only one who can take charge of a monastic family at this age. Moreover, he took over the Yun family ten years ago, which was the second largest monastic family among the nine sects. At that time, it also shocked the entire Kyushu.
Everyone thought that his Yun family must have no one left in the clan to allow a junior in his thirties to take over the Yun family, and they all believed that the decline of his Yun family was an inevitable result. There are also some small sects who want to take advantage of the Yun family's decline and pounce on them to get a piece of the pie.
Unexpectedly, Yun Jingtian was not only extremely talented, but also broke through the innate realm at the age of forty. He is also extremely proficient in the art of controlling people. Not only did he manage the Yun family in a tight and orderly manner, but he also made the Yun family obey his orders from top to bottom. Moreover, he also relied on Wuji Xu, a big backer, and also attracted many small sects and sects to join his sect. It's really impressive, I don't dare to underestimate Yun Jingtian anymore.
Seeing that he couldn't escape tonight, Mo Yunshen had no choice but to follow Master Songyang to the Duize Palace for the banquet. Fortunately, he also has the senior brother Guo Qingshan by his side, which gives him a little bit of a center of gravity.
Mo Yunshen fell behind everyone, looking at the Duize Palace that was gradually becoming clearer, and unconsciously slowed down.
Guo Qingshan pulled his sleeve and said, "Didn't you meet the Yun family members that day in Yunhai City? Yun Sheng, the only one who knows your details, promised to help you hide the truth. You can go with us with confidence." If you go to the banquet, nothing will happen."
Mo Yunshen said, "I thought about it today. When I was in the city, I really didn't have any contact with other people, and I didn't let them see my face. The only person who saw me was the unruly Yun Jingtian." She’s just the youngest daughter, and I guess she won’t come to Wuji Ruins. Apart from that, only Yuntai, the head of the Yun family’s law enforcement hall, has seen my back. I’m afraid…”
Guo Qingshan interrupted him and said, "Then what are you worried about? When you were acting in a chaotic manner, Yuntai only glanced at you in a hurry, so he must not have remembered the look on your back. When we enter Duize Palace later, let's eat more food." , just say less so as not to attract attention."
Mo Yunshen nodded and said, "That's all."
Yun Jingtian saw Master Songyang from a distance and quickly led the crowd to greet him with a smile.
"Jingtian is really flattered that Master Songyang can be invited here!" Although Yun Jingtian is not as senior as Master Songyang, he is still the head of the Yun family. Now when I met Master Songyang, not only did I not put on airs, but I lowered my attitude and greeted him with a smile.
"Hahaha, Patriarch Yun invites you so kindly, how dare I not give you this thin noodles!" Although Master Songyang was smiling, his words were extremely distant, and he was obviously not as enthusiastic as Yun Jingtian.
How could Yun Jingtian not see this? He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, leading everyone in Jiuhua Mountain into Duize Palace.
This time, the Yun family had a head-on conflict with Lei Gongbao on the viewing platform because of the seating issue. Both sides are secretly contacting various sects, large and small, to support themselves.
Lei Gongbao has always been on good terms with Shangjiumen, and the Yun family knows this. Although they have the support of many small sects, they suffer from the fact that although these small sects are large in number, their power is not strong. If you really want to argue, it will only help your popularity.
In the past few days, after Yun Jingtian arrived at Wuji Ruins, he invited the nine sects to a banquet overnight to build relationships. They are not required to support the Yun family, as long as they can remain neutral.
Who would have thought that among the nine sects, except for Wuji Xu, the big backer, the other eight sects were also invited to the banquet, but all of them were talking about Lei Gongbao. The Yun family really put their hot faces on countless cold butts. Everyone in the Yun family was so angry that they cursed in private, but only Yun Jingtian was not affected in any way. He still greeted everyone with a smile and worked hard to please the various factions in the upper nine sects.
After everyone sat down, although Yun Jingtian tried hard to win over Master Songyang, Master Songyang kept a sullen face throughout the whole process and rarely smiled. The rest of the people just lowered their heads to eat, which made the Yun family very embarrassed.
This banquet was very boring, but it was exactly what Mo Yunshen wanted. He wished that he would not draw attention to himself, lest the people of the Yun family would find out.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Yuntai, the head of the Yun Family Law Enforcement Hall, smiled and took out a few silk cloud sachets, a specialty of Yunhai City, and presented them to the younger generation of disciples in Jiuhua Mountain.
This Yuntai is not only the head of the law enforcement hall, but also Yun Jingtian's uncle. In the beginning, it was he who supported Yun Jingtian, who was able to overcome all objections and secure his position as the head of the Yun family. Therefore, in the Yun family, this Yuntai is the person with the highest status besides Yun Jingtian.
Guo Qingshan and others all looked at Master Songyang. Without his approval, who would dare to take the things from the Yun family? Seeing him slightly nodding in agreement, they all stood up, thanked Yuntai, and took the Siyun sachet.
Master Songyang saw that the food was almost done, and his Yun family also took out some things and gave them to his disciples. He did not want to stay here any longer. After saying a few words, he led the disciples to leave.
Mo Yunshen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the secret passage was finally over. He stood up and followed everyone out of the hall.
"Hey! Junior brother, you haven't got your things yet." Guo Qingshan, who was following him, suddenly stopped him.
Mo Yunshen looked back and saw that the Siyun sachet that he had stuffed into his arms had fallen beside the seat at some point. He responded quickly, returned to his seat, and picked up the sachet.
At this time, Master Songyang had already led everyone out of the hall. Mo Yunshen hurriedly left Duize Palace after saying goodbye to Yun Jingtian and Yuntai.
Yuntai, who was originally sitting in his seat, suddenly saw the back of Mo Yunshen leaving in a hurry, and his eyes instantly became sharp.
"It's indeed him!"
Yun Jingtian turned to look at Yuntai and whispered, "Second uncle, are you sure?"
Yuntai nodded and said, "Haha, it's Mo Yunshen, it's unmistakable. I took advantage of giving them gifts just now to get a clear look at the faces of these people. Only his appearance, Mo Yunshen, was the last one." It fits Yun Mo's description. Just now, I happened to see his back again, which corresponds to my quick glance that day. If not Mo Yunshen, who else could it be!"
It was dark at night, in a bedroom in Duize Palace. A few clear oil candles flickered, reflecting two figures.
Yun Jingtian's face was heavy, and he tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Second uncle, this matter is of great importance. Are you really sure that the person in Yunhai City that day was Mo Yunshen from Jiuhua Mountain?"
Just now, Yuntai was very sure from Mo Yunshen's back that he was the person who was being hunted by everyone in Yaoming Palace. Yun Jingtian hurriedly retreated with him to a separate bedroom in Duize Palace. After retreating, he checked with Yuntai again.
"Yes, although the second uncle is older, he has not yet reached the place where he was old. Although I glanced at him in a hurry that day, I still remembered his back in my mind. I will definitely not do anything if I see him again today. Incorrect."
Yun Jingtian said, "That night, more than a hundred disciples of our Yun family were ordered to search the entire Yunhai City. There were harvests everywhere, but Yun Sheng found nothing. Now it seems that the one he let go that day must be Mo Yunshen. Really? I didn't expect that he would actually deal with Mo Yunshen."
Yuntai's eyes flashed and he said, "This boy actually united with those disciples to hide it from us. Do you want me to kill them..." As he spoke, he waved his palm and made a chopping gesture.
Yun Jingtian shook his head and said, "Yun Sheng is the strongest person in our Yun family generation. If we take him down rashly, it will cause us a lot of losses. However, I have recorded this account." , there will be plenty of opportunities for him to come back in the future.”
Yuntai snorted coldly and said, "It would be too easy to kill him if he eats the inside out like this. If we hadn't secretly captured a spirit from Yaoming Palace and tortured him to extract a confession, we learned the approximate identity of Mo Yunshen." , and the little Princess Bi Yun they are going after, will really be deceived by Yun Sheng."
It turned out that that night, Yun Jingtian and Yuntai teamed up to sneak attack on the hiding place of a demon from the Underworld Palace. He unknowingly captured a spirit alive, quietly returned to Yun's house and locked him in a secret room without letting anyone else know.
Later, the two of them interrogated the spirit's words and deeds, and then they learned the whole story of the solitary temple. I learned that a disciple from Mount Jiuhua and a little boy had taken away Princess Biyun, the future demon king of Yaoming Palace. After they discovered the traces of the three people outside Yunhai City, they sneaked into Yunhai City.
The two of them knew the reason for the incident, and both felt that this was a great opportunity. As long as they can capture Princess Bi Yun alive and take her out in the Dao Discussion Conference, they will definitely gain a great reputation. By then, wouldn't it be easy to dislodge Lei Gongbao from the top of the Nine Gates?
When Yuntai recalled what happened during the day, he suddenly realized that the three figures with their backs to him at that time must be the disciple of Mount Jiuhua and the little princess Bi Yun. I couldn't help feeling regretful, and I didn't even realize the opportunity before me.
Later, the two of them also sent a large number of Yun family disciples to search around Yunhai City, hoping to find traces of the three of them. However, only traces of a fight were seen, and nothing was found about the whereabouts of the people who fought.
However, after they came to Wuji Ruins, they accidentally learned that more than ten days ago, Guo Qingshan, the eldest disciple of Tianyang Zhenren in Jiuhua Mountain, and Mo Yunshen, the junior disciple, entered Wuji Ruins with two children, a boy and a girl. , please ask the spiritual master to save the little boy.
After asking about their appearance and the little boy's injuries, and comparing it with the spirit's description of the three people and the traces of the fight outside Yunhai City, it was basically certain that Mo Yunshen was the Jiuhua Mountain disciple. And the little Princess Bi Yun they had been looking for so hard was now in the center of Master Lingzhi's Tai Lai.
Yun Jingtian invited everyone from Jiuhuashan to Duize Palace for a banquet this time, not just to win over Jiuhuashan by drinking. More importantly, Yuntai must personally confirm whether Mo Yunshen is the Jiuhua Mountain disciple. After all, he is the only one who has seen this person's back.
Now that his identity has been confirmed, things have become more difficult to handle. Originally, if they were just ordinary disciples of Jiuhua Mountain, they would directly find Master Songyang and inform him of this matter.
Now this man is indeed a close disciple of Master Tianyang, and Jiuhua Mountain has also spread rumors this time that he will be appointed as the next leader of Jiuhua Mountain. For a moment, the two of them felt that things were a little tricky.
Yuntai said, "Jingtian, this Mo Yunshen is the next leader of Jiuhua Mountain. This matter is a bit difficult for us to handle now."
Yun Jingtian thought for a moment and replied, "It must be done even if it is difficult. Not to mention that Mo Yunshen is just an unofficial leader. Even if it is Master Tianyang who personally hides Princess Bi Yun, he is going against the righteous factions! However, if you say that, Even so, we still have to take Jiuhuashan’s face into account. If we really get into a stalemate, it won’t be good for anyone.”
Yuntai nodded and said, "As far as I know, as soon as Mo Yunshen and Guo Qingshan arrived at Wuji Ruins, they left Princess Bi Yun and that boy in the Tailai Center of the ancestor Lingzhi. This ancestor Lingzhi was in He has a respected position in the Wuji Ruins, and I don’t know if he knows about this matter. Now, the development of the matter is beyond your control, so we should report the matter to Master Tongxuan quickly and see how he handles it. "
Yun Jingtian said, "Second uncle is right. This matter not only involves Jiuhua Mountain, but also Ancestor Lingzhi, the ancestor of Wuji Ruins." He stood up and said, "The Tao Discussion Conference will be held tomorrow. Now without any further delay, I will rush to the Tai Chi Palace overnight to report this matter to Master Ming Tongxuan and see how he decides!"
The candles in the bedroom swayed a few times with the strong wind caused by the sound of the door closing, and finally they were all extinguished and returned to darkness.
