Cheng Ling looked at Wu Chenlong with a half-smile and said, "What? Don't you want to go? But think clearly, you only have this one chance, and the boss will pay the bill for you!"
Wu Chenlong was startled. Although he didn't know what paying the bill meant, it wouldn't be a bad thing after all, so he asked, "Why me? Can't others go?"
"Nonsense, Yiyi and Youlan are women. Brother Jian knows too many people in the academy. According to what the guy said, people from the Fa Dao Academy are probably here. If their identities are revealed, wouldn't it be troublesome? Such a situation Come on, who else would go if you didn't?"
Wu Chenlong smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, then I'll go to Ruyiyuan for a walk!" His expression was like walking through a mountain of swords and a sea of fire!
Cheng Ling smiled and scolded: "Pull you down, don't act like a good boy when you get an advantage."
Jian Yinghao watched the two people talking and smiled slightly. Cheng Ling was really thoughtful. Among the five, only Wu Chenlong is indeed the most suitable. He had just entered the inner gate, and he had been staying in Zhuyin Pavilion all day. He knew almost no one, so he could completely hide his identity.
Cheng Ling added: "Remember, look for opportunities to talk to gamblers, female cultivators, and people at auctions, and try to find out as much information as possible. As for yourself, don't be too timid, just treat yourself as the second son of any sect. Shizu, why are you so proud, do you understand?"
Jian Yinghao said: "Yes, I remember that the master of the Yujian Sect seems to have a surname of Wu. You can pretend to be his youngest son, even the surname is the same."
"Yes, from now on, you are the young master of the Sword Sect. Huh? Five hundred million spiritual stones may not be enough. I will give you another five hundred million, so that you can be worthy of the status of the young master."
Wu Chenlong tremblingly took the ring handed over by Cheng Ling and said, "Boss, what if we lose all these spiritual stones?"
"Lang Sha, don't worry about whether the spirit stone is lost or not. Just inquire about the information. If you find out the other party's details, aren't all the spirit stones in the gold cave belong to us? Also, you need to change your clothes, sword Brother, do you have any change of clothes on you?"
Among the five people, Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan were women, and Cheng Ling only had ordinary clothes, only Jian Yinghao. I felt that the clothes she wore when they met for the first time were very good.
Jian Yinghao understood immediately, took out two sets of clothes from the storage ring, and said: "Tomorrow, you can wear these clothes. You should not lose the prestige of the young master."
Everyone burst out laughing. I saw that the clothes were painted with landscapes and splashed ink, and four thick characters were engraved on the chest: Food and sex! It’s absolutely amazing!
Wu Chenlong smiled bitterly and let the two of them do whatever they wanted. After the commotion for a long time, everyone dispersed one by one and went back to their respective rooms to rest.
Jian Yinghao had already told Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan to stay in the room for the next two days and not come out if nothing happened. Both women are well-known beauties in the academy. As soon as they show up, they will be discovered by the people of the Law Academy, which is really not good.
Everyone had a good night's sleep and stayed in the room to wait. Only Wu Chenlong, with the orders of the two bosses, went to tackle the problem!
It was quite late at night before Wu Chenlong returned to Cheng Ling's guest room smelling of alcohol. The four of them had been waiting anxiously, and Bai Yiyi even said angrily: "Looking at you, I know you must be fooling around in some Ruyi courtyard. You are so shameless!"
Wu Chenlong sat down, let out a long sigh of relief, and then said: "Sister Yiyi, you have wronged a good person. I have never even touched the hand of a female cultivator. I just kept drinking wine. Only then did I get some information. I’m exhausted, let me take a breath first!”
Jian Yinghao stopped Bai Yiyi, and the latter gave up, pouting angrily, with an expression that said I didn't recognize him.
Cheng Ling waited for him to catch his breath for a while, then urged: "Stop the ink stains, tell me quickly, what did you find out?"
Wu Chenlong sat up straight and said cautiously: "Boss, our academy seems to have been tricked by the families and sects in the south!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at him in surprise.
Cheng Ling urged: "Don't be pretentious, be specific."
"That's it!" Wu Chenlong swallowed and then said: "I went to the gambling room on the first floor first. I didn't lose much in the spiritual stone there, and I won tens of millions. One of the family members lost everything. I took the initiative to lend it to him."
"What's the result? What did you find out?" Cheng Ling pressed on.
"The guy later lost all the spiritual stones I borrowed and was unable to repay him, so I asked him for information. It turned out that he was a descendant of the Xiao family. His father had a very high status and was the younger brother of the head of the Xiao family. Only then can we get a rough idea.”
"The four major families and the three major sects in the south have long been colluding with the Agni Fire Sect. In the past, our academy sent disciples many times to encircle and suppress them, but there was no trace of those leaders. Guess where they went?"
"Are they all hiding within the four major families?" Jian Yinghao said coldly.
"Yes! They are hiding among those families. Not only that, the swords, spiritual stones, and treasures carried by the disciples sent by the academy to sacrifice were all divided up by them."
"The items auctioned at that auction were all stolen goods, not only from our academy, but also from other families, and even monks from the sea."
"They all formed an industrial chain. The Agni Fire Cult came forward to burn, kill and loot, and then relied on the cover of the four major families and the three major sects to sell them to the north."
"They even have fixed channels so that merchants who come to the south cannot go back and then blackmail them. Moreover, the medicinal herbs and mineral resources in the south are sold to the north at a lower price by sea, allowing the academy's The goods cannot be sold.”
"Here!" Wu Chenlong pointed to the ground again and said: "This is their stronghold for selling stolen goods in the south. Not only are there the wealth of the academy disciples and merchants, but also the elixirs and treasures exchanged from the north, gradually enriching their strength. , and finally completely defeated the academy!"
"And I heard in Ruyi Academy that some people in our academy have colluded with them!"
"What!" Jian Yinghao and Bai Yiyi woke up in horror. They could no longer sit still and stood up. Even Gu Youlan stood up immediately.
The situation is really serious. If this continues, Mingjian Academy will sooner or later come to nothing. Resources cannot be collected or sold to the north. How can millions of disciples support it?
Cheng Ling was very calm. For him, the rise and fall of the academy was not a strong feeling of honor and disgrace. Unlike the three Jian Yinghao, who were born and raised in an academy.
He asked Wu Chenlong: "Are you sure? The four major families and the three major sects are related to these things?"
Wu Chenlong thought for a while and said: "At least I can confirm that the Xiao family, Cheng family, Liu family, Yujianmen, Jiuxiao Sect, and Wushen Sect have all had contact with their disciples. As for the disciples of the Ouyang family, I have not Contact, not sure.”
Cheng Ling frowned. Six of the seven major forces were confirmed to be harboring evil, and the remaining Ouyang family would probably not be able to escape. This bureau is really too dangerous, and what’s even more frightening is that there are even people inside the academy who exchange information.
Their mission this time will soon be known to the Agni Cult. If their identity is revealed, several major forces will come and kill them in an instant!
The sword hero is extraordinary after all. He gets angry for a while and then calms down. Now, it is no longer a matter of completing the task, but a matter of how to save one's life and how to pass the message back to the academy without being intercepted by the other party's people.
He thought hard for a long time and couldn't think of any good solution for a while. Then he turned to look at Cheng Ling and asked: "Brother Cheng, this situation is really unexpected. If it weren't for a coincidence, it would be hard to imagine that it would be so bad to come to this inn. What do you have to say?"
Cheng Ling pondered for a long time, but also had a headache. These forces that he had something to do with were the Liu family and the Cheng family. He had a duty to deal with these two families, but he could not justify himself when dealing with other families and sects.
He is not that tall. He wants to eradicate evil spirits for the benefit of the Famous Sword Academy. In a different identity, if Famous Sword Academy was not a dominant force, how could those forces have turned against it? What's more, if you look at it from another angle, Mingjian Academy is inferior to others, wouldn't it be trying to compete for benefits?
The answer is obviously no. For a while, he also fell into deep contemplation. However, the angle he stood on was different from that of Jian Yinghao.
Jian Yinghao seemed to understand Cheng Ling's thoughts and said: "Brother Cheng, you have only been in the academy for a short time, and you may not have deep feelings. But imagine how your strength has changed since you entered the academy. "
"I dare to assert that no force in the south can help you improve your strength so quickly. Only in an environment like the Famous Sword Academy can you lay a solid foundation for cultivation and climb to a higher mountain."
"And if you can help solve the crisis, I will report everything to the academy. By then, not to mention the core disciples, even the elders of the academy will be more than enough."
Cheng Ling's heart moved. What he said made sense. No matter which faction you go to, there is no advantage over the Famous Sword Academy, and he has a grudge against the Cheng and Liu families, especially the Cheng family, who will never let it go.
But now it is not just one force of the Agni Fire Sect, but seven forces. They only have a team of five people in total, so how can they compete with so many forces?
After hesitating for a long time, he thought to himself that it would be better to operate on the Cheng family first. If it is impossible to do anything, just retreat calmly. Presumably the academy will not blame too much after knowing the situation here.
He was silent for a long time before he made up his mind and asked: "Brother Jian, do you know the strength of each family?"
Jian Yinghao was in great spirits. In terms of strength, Cheng Ling was indeed a little behind, but his scheming and strategies were the best. What he wanted to rely on was that Cheng Ling could help him clear up the confusion and find the best way. Naturally, if the method Cheng Ling said is unreliable, then let's talk about it differently.
He then explained: "There are many disciples from the four major families and the three major sects. Their combined number is in the millions, which is no less than that of my Famous Sword Academy, but they are lacking in high-end combat power."
"As for their strength, each family has a god-forming ancestor, and there are dozens of monks at the peak of Nascent Soul. I won't say more about the other monks below Nascent Soul."
"According to Brother Jian's opinion, if the five of us face only one of them, will we be sure of victory?"
Jian Yinghao smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "If the five of us want to destroy a family, we can only describe it as four sons."
"Which four sons?"
"Strike an egg against a stone!"
Cheng Ling was not surprised and asked calmly: "How do you say it?"
Jian Yinghao explained: "Let's not talk about their ancestors who transformed into gods. Even if they are Yuanying monks, how can they kill them on their territory? Every family and sect has a mountain protection formation, let alone going there. If you assassinate me, you can’t even get in!”
"What's more, even if you can enter, there will be at least about a hundred thousand members in the family, not to mention the sects. Among the three major sects, the Yujian Sect has the most disciples, nearly one million, and the other two major sects also have 700,000 or 800,000. , facing so many disciples, how can we win?"
