The sect competition ended with an unexpected result.
Although the first place is still Mu Yuan, he has a profound knowledge of the Immortality Scripture, and has the second-level Qingyang tree species in his hand, as well as the second-level magic weapon. Even facing a monk in the foundation-building realm, he can support a few moves. .
But the second place turned out to be Yu Lian who appeared out of thin air.
If he hadn't been the true successor of the challenge, and would have been targeted by everyone in the later rounds, and by the time he reached the finals, all his secret cards would have been exposed, and Mu Yuan might have had a fight with him.
But even so, Yu Lian became the second true successor, which still caused a huge sensation in the Shenmu Sect.
As a stepping stone for the rise of Yulian, Luo Yixiu was secretly complained by many true disciples.
If he had rejected Yu Lian's challenge, the latter would have been unable to become a true successor because he did not sign up, and there would not be so many things to do.
During the last two rounds of the sect competition, the news that the alchemy department was preparing to refine a batch of demonic beast foundation-building pills finally spread and was known to all the true disciples.
After Chen Mobai, Mu Yuan, who has occupied the first position in the true biography for three consecutive years, will naturally be able to get one.
According to Zeng Woyou's elixir formation rate three years ago, there would be at least two pills.
The second Yulian instantly became the object of jealousy of all the true disciples.
The two true disciples ranked third and fourth even tried their best to find the heads of their respective departments and wanted to cancel Yu Lian's results this year.
They all knew that doing so would make the other true disciples of the sect and even all the Qi-training disciples laugh at them, but when it came to the Foundation Establishment Pill, they had no choice but to give up on things like shame.
After all, three years ago, Chen Mobai suppressed the sect's three thousand Qi practitioners with one sword, then obtained the Demonic Beast Foundation Establishment Pill, and became the sect's youngest Foundation Establishment Elder in one step. This is a good example right before his eyes.
As long as they kick Yulian away, they have hope of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill.
The heads of the Puppet Department and the Weapon Refining Department came to the door, and the leader Meng Hong naturally wanted to find out. After learning the whole story, he was also a little curious, and asked his two divination and Chuan Gong departments to investigate the origin of Yulian. .
This investigation revealed some surprises.
So, on the second day of the sect competition, Meng Hong summoned the upper echelons of the two halls of Rewarding Good and Punishing Evil. After a discussion, they decided to temporarily freeze the second place in Yu Lian True Legend.
When this incident reached Chen Mobai's ears, he was a little surprised.
"Oh, why would the leader do this?"
Chen Mobai was in the Hall of Rewarding Goodness. He was led by Sun Gaochang to visit Chu Zuoshu. The latter was dressed in rich robes and had a square face. Judging from his appearance alone, he could beat ten Meng Hongs.
It was Chu Zuoshu who told Chen Mobai that Yu Lian's grades were going to be frozen.
"He seems to be an orphan of the Yinxiao sect. Although he used a sword as a sword during the sect competition, the traces of the Yinxiao Thousand Jue Sword Scripture were still found by the Witch and Bubu Department. The head of the sect came to find me and all the palace masters. After some discussion, we decided to freeze his grades first to be on the safe side.”
"Yinxiao sect?"
This is an unfamiliar term. Chen Mobai has never heard of it at all, but he has not bothered to understand the forces in the Tianhe Realm or even the Eastern Wasteland. It would be great to have the time to cultivate the Pure Yang Dharmakaya.
"The Yinxiao Sect is the inheritance of the Wangu Sect. The Wangu Sect was the overlord of the Eastern Wasteland before the Five Elements Sect. It was destroyed by our seven major sects in the Eastern Wasteland."
"The Yinxiao Sect was established by the disciples of the Eternal Sect who had surrendered to our Five Elements Sect. Unfortunately, when our Five Elements Sect split up, the Yinxiao Sect made some small moves and was expelled from the original residence of the Yun Kingdom by the Fire Vein Patriarch. .”
"But I didn't expect that after the Yinxiao sect moved to the Snow Country next door, it quickly declined. After the three foundation-building monks in the sect had grown old one by one, they were killed by a group of mysterious monks one day twenty years ago. Killed at the door, all the inheritance and heritage obtained from the Eternal Sect will be robbed."
Chu Zuoshu was very happy that Chen Mobai was willing to come to Shanshan Hall. Yue Zutao also accompanied him and helped make tea. The four of them sat together and talked about the origins of Yinxiao Sect and Wangumen.
"If you put it this way, the destruction of the Yinxiao Sect has nothing to do with our Shenmu Sect."
Chen Mobai said a little puzzled. Although the collapse of the Yinxiao Sect was caused by the internal strife of the Five Elements Sect, in the final analysis, it was due to his own lack of strength and the fact that he had the foundation of the Eternal Sect. Huaibi was just guilty.
"Having said that, who knows what the descendants of the Yinxiao Sect think. If they have resentment in their hearts, giving him the Foundation Establishment Pill would not be a sign of self-respect."
Chu Zuoshu's words also made some sense, and Sun Gaochang and Yue Zutao nodded.
Chen Mobai took a sip of tea and said nothing.
"Junior Brother Chen, do you have a different opinion?"
Chu Zuoshu naturally noticed this and asked.
"One thing is that after all, Yu Lian became a true successor and fully complied with the laws and regulations of our Shenmu Sect. If his achievements are deprived of him today because of such unfounded resentment, will the upper level of the sect use the same excuse to deprive others of his achievements in the future? Where is the True Disciple’s Foundation Building Pill?”
Although Chen Mobai's words were not very clear, the people present were all flexible and understood what he meant.
This case cannot be opened.
"Actually, I don't have any objections to this matter. After all, I have made an agreement with the leader. I will support whatever he wants to do in the past two years."
"As long as he abdicates and gives up the position of leader to me."
"But that guy Quan Shanlin felt that all possible threats needed to be eliminated in advance. Not only did he want to deprive that disciple of second place in the True Tradition, but he also wanted to recruit him to be on duty in the Hall of Evil Punishment for constant monitoring."
The fact that Chen Mobai is sitting here today means that he is one of Chu Zuoshu's own, so the latter is very direct when he speaks.
Although he usually doesn't pay much attention to things other than cultivation, Quan Shanlin Chen Mobai still knows about it.
The deputy master of the Punishment Hall.
Although he is the deputy hall master, he is actually the acting hall master, because the nominal masters of the Shenmu Hall of the Punishment Hall are the two Jindan ancestors of the Shenmu Sect.
These two people naturally do not manage trivial matters on weekdays, so the deputy head of the Shenmu Hall is Meng Hong, and the deputy head of the Punishment Hall is Quan Shanlin, a direct disciple of Patriarch Fu, who is also in the late stage of foundation building. master.
Of the three main halls of the Shenmu Sect, only the Shanshan Hall has Chu Zuoshu, a foundation-building monk, as the hall master. However, he and Meng Hong are both disciples of Patriarch Zhou, so the position of the hall master is secure.
"The master is still kind-hearted. He just plans to freeze the disciple's performance this year and sharpen him. In four years' time, the chalcedony and golden zhi will mature. If he has real ability, he will still have one of the orthodox foundation-building pills."
Chu Zuoshu told the decision that the three major halls had reached when discussing this matter. He now followed Meng Hong in everything. The two agreed, and there was nothing Quan Shanlin could do about it.
"If you do this, even if there is no resentment, I'm afraid there will be."
Chen Mobai sighed. The results he had obtained with dignity and dignity were frozen because of this kind of thing. Even the most open-minded person would feel resentful.
When the Shenmu Sect was powerful, Yu Lian would definitely not dare to show it, but if something unexpected happened in the future, it is estimated that this resentment would become a seed and flourish.
"Indeed, since this person was able to make a splash and won the second place in the true biography in the first time he participated, it can be seen that he is also a person with outstanding spiritual talent. If he builds the foundation with resentment in his heart, it will not be a big deal for the sect in the future. Small hidden danger.”
After Chen Mobai reminded him, Chu Zuoshu also reacted.
Meng Hong has only been here for two years. With Yulian's strength, it is easy for him to obtain the orthodox foundation-building pill in four years. But at that time, I would probably have resentment in my heart because of what happened today.
He, Chu Zuoshu, was the head of the clan at that time, so he had to pay for the mistakes Meng Hong made.
After all, if Yulian really builds a foundation, he, the leader, will be in a very embarrassing situation.
This man is an elder of the Shenmu Sect, but he is very likely to be disloyal! If the foundation is established, thousands of spiritual stones will be given out every year, and he will also be given corresponding spiritual veins and positions. Moreover, Yulian and the sect will be suspicious of each other.
"The master's edict has not been sent out yet. I will go talk to the master again and see if we can discuss it further."
After Chu Zuoshu thought clearly, he put down the tea cup in his hand, got up and decided to go to the Shenmu Temple.
Chen Mobai never expected that Chu Zuoshu would be such a leader who was so hesitant to be persuaded, and he was also a bit fickle in doing things.
After thinking about it, he let go of his guest and left.
"Junior Brother Chen, drink tea."
Yue Zutao could only replace his master and greet Sun Gaochang and Chen Mobai on his behalf.
After drinking a pot, the two people immediately said goodbye.
"Senior Brother Yue, it's getting late. I have to see off Senior Brother Yuan today. I originally planned to ask the palace master to see if the Lei Guo Lingshi Mine was short of money and if he could let me become the representative of the Good Rewarding Palace. One trip, it seems we can only wait for another day.”
In fact, Chen Mobai was too lazy to go out, so he didn't mention it at the beginning. Now that Chu Zuoshu has gone to the Shenmu Temple, he can only mention this matter next time they meet.
"This should be easy, but it may have to wait until next year after your establishment is officially transferred from the Spiritual Planting Department to the Shanshan Hall."
Yue Zutao is one of the inspectors of Shanshan Hall and knows the process very well.
"That would cause trouble for Senior Brother Yue."
They were stationed at the Shanshan Temple in Shenmu City. After leaving, Sun Gaochang returned to the Lingzhi Department, while Chen Mobai went directly to Eyun's mansion.
Coincidentally, he actually met the Luo family brothers and sisters at the door.
"I've met Uncle Chen."
Luo Yixuan rolled up the skirt of her palace dress and saluted Chen Mobai gracefully. On the contrary, Luo Yixiu next to him took a step back when she saw him.
"Well, let's go in together."
Chen Mobai naturally knew the reason why they came, but what he didn't expect was that Luo Yixiu, who became the true successor after the sect competition, was high-spirited, arrogant and confident, and would become like this after being defeated by Yulian.
He noticed the way Chen Mobai looked over, not daring to look at him at all. He lowered his head and looked at the ground, his eyes timid, as if he had completely lost his confidence, as if he had been completely defeated.
"Chen...Master Uncle..., Uncle Luo's matter...has nothing to do with me...I returned to the sect last year...the Lingshi Mine's deficit must have nothing to do with me..."
Luo Yixiu was a little embarrassed when he spoke. He stammered, with a slightly fearful look on his face, and said a lot of words to excuse himself.
When Chen Mobai heard this, he finally understood.
It turned out that it was not because of being defeated by Yulian, but because of his backer that Luo Shupian fell. He might even be accused of treason, which made Luo Yixiu, who had never experienced such a huge change, dejected.
"If your self-confidence comes from your family and elders, you will never become a truly powerful monk in your life."
Although Chen Mobai didn't like Luo Yixiu very much, he still couldn't stand it when he saw with his own eyes that a young man who was so proud before had become so depressed overnight.
But after he persuaded her, he saw that Luo Yixiu's head lowered even lower, and even his whole body shrank behind Luo Yixuan. He couldn't help but shake his head, and turned around and walked into Eyun's mansion.
"Thank you, Master Chen, for your warning."
Luo Yixuan's smoothing words came from behind, and the brother and sister also walked in.
Luo Yixiu's feet were trembling, as if he was stepping into the execution ground. In the end, Luo Yixuan dragged him to the courtyard.
"I've met three martial uncles."
Eyun and Yuan Chiye had already set a table and opened a jar of wine. Chen Mobai sat down and smelled it, and found that it was his second-level Yuzhu spirit wine. He didn't know whose jar it was.
"Sit down, I need to ask you something, just answer it truthfully. The sect will not wrong you."
E Yun pointed to the two long tables in the courtyard. Naturally, they were bare and there were no food or drinks.
"Yes, Uncle E."
After Luo Yixuan sat down, Luo Yixiu also forced himself to calm down and sat on the other side.
Chen Mobai remained silent and drank and ate the whole time.
"Well, we understand the general situation. Your brother and sister should practice well within the sect these days. I will also go to Yun Kingdom to talk to the leader of your Luo family."
After asking, E Yun nodded and waved his hand to indicate that the two of them could leave.
"Three uncles, I believe that my uncle will not betray the sect, and even if he makes a small mistake, the crime will not be as bad as that of my entire Luo family."
When Luo Yixiu stood up to leave, he heard that E Yun wanted to go to the Yun Kingdom clan. He was afraid that his last support would be affected, so he mustered up the courage to say something.
Luo Yixuan had no time to stop him, she secretly screamed that it was bad, she could only pull the corner of her brother's clothes, and wanted to lead him away with his head down.
"Whether or not you are guilty, whether it is a big mistake or a small mistake, is not up to you or me. The sect will find out the truth."
As expected, E Yun, who had always been expressionless, frowned slightly when he heard Luo Yixiu's words and replied in a somewhat serious tone.
"Uncle Master..."
Luo Yixiu also sensed that something was wrong with E Yun's face and tone. The courage he had just summoned instantly dissipated, and he stood there helpless with a murmur.
Luo Yixuan did not dare to make any move at this time. She could only stand with her brother, waiting for the next words of the foundation-building elder in front of her.
"Okay, step back."
At this moment, Chen Mobai's voice sounded.
These ordinary words sounded like the sounds of nature to Luo Yixuan's ears.
