If there were other people present at this moment, they would probably be surprised, because the trembling person in the temple at this moment is not a small person, but an out-of-body monk who will be held up and respected no matter which main peak he walks on.
But not long ago, such a person could only lie on the door eaves and bow down meticulously. Now he is even more trembling because the person above him doesn't say a word.
To be able to make an out-of-body monk worry to this extent without saying a word, the person in charge of this palace must be a very powerful person, if not extremely vicious, at least a dictatorial overlord.
But the person sitting here is a young man who looks very frail and full of books. But if you look carefully, you will find that it is not that simple. He has a strong aura that has been accumulated for a long time. He finally looked in the direction of the door. His eyebrows were clear and his brows were stretched, showing the style of an elegant scholar.
It's hard to imagine what kind of power such a person must have to make the people below him so trembling and panicked.
But obviously both of them are very used to it.
"You are becoming more and more careless." The man in the seat said calmly.
"...I got up to talk, but now I can't even say a normal sentence."
The man was a little embarrassed and said: "This subordinate is useless..."
"Okay, don't drop your book bag there, that's not what I want to hear."
"Yes, all the ministries are following up on what you ordered. We have obtained support from some elders and family forces. All we need to do next is..." The visitor reported the report very carefully.
The person in the seat did not inadvertently exude coercion this time, nor did he intercept the other party's report. He just waited for him to finish a long paragraph and said with a strange look in his eyes: "So... there is still no progress? "
How should he respond to this? Even those who were in awe and fear of superiors could not help but look up at their masters, and were speechless for a moment.
"Speaking of so much... for more than ten years, with so many people and so many resources, in the end they only slightly explored the situation in the west and dug up a few people who were not important at all. Do you think this can be called progress? "
The hall fell into silence again.
The person who responded could not refute it at all, because the facts stated by the other party, but...
"But if you want to regain the west in more than ten years..." it is not an easy task at all. As he spoke, the out-of-body monk, who was not low in cultivation, did not dare to speak anymore, because just to refute had already made him muster up great courage.
"Are you afraid? I didn't ask you to conquer the west. I just wanted you to give it a try because you have reached this level of cultivation. Yonghui, you are still too kind and soft-hearted."
"Forget it, just think of it as spending some time updating some information. Those people in the west are not easy to chew on." In the end, I don't know what made the big shot at the table change his mind. He was clearly looking like a thunderstorm just now, but his tone suddenly became softer, and he even calmed down a subordinate who was scared to death.
Probably having received a relatively "safe" signal, the out-of-body monk named Yong Hui was finally no longer as trembling as before, and his back naturally straightened up.
Lord Canghong nodded and signaled the other party to take a seat, and then he formally asked about the situation in the west.
Xuantian Sword Sect is a giant Xuanmen sect that has stood for many years. The forces within the sect are intertwined. There are many large and small family forces that are dependent on the sect, but there are not many family forces that can truly be called top-notch.
The Gu family in the west counts as one, the Guan family in the east counts as one, and Jiuchong Peak, where the leader of the faction is located in the center. In fact, they also belong to a family force, but their clan is different from other families. It is not based on blood, but unites and maintains the clan members in another way.
Cang Hong was quite familiar with the Guan family, and even with the great power of Shangqingfeng, he could not shake its power, so Shangqingfeng had been at odds with them for many years. It is rumored that the east of Shangqing Peak's so-called dominance of the Xuantian Sword Sect is actually just the southeast area, and the areas above are beyond their control.
As for the Gu family to the west and the large number of wealthy families and scattered forces in the vicinity, there are old and new ones, and they are all very powerful. Canghong Shenjun has also been trying to find an opening for many years without success, so he can only send Anzi or related disciples to contact him year after year, trying to find an opportunity to take advantage of it.
This was not the first time, but this time their investment was greater than usual, and they even used a few well-hidden secrets. Unfortunately, it still failed to do so and only opened up some insignificant hidden lines. Naturally, Lord Canghong could not be satisfied, but he already knew the result.
What he expected was not bad. The Gu family has great power in the west of the sect. Not to mention other family forces, the various branches and disciples extending from the Gu family's main line Tianyun Peak and its lower center are enough to tightly control the general trend of the west. . In addition, the large and small forces that have a foothold in it also have their own survival rules. It is difficult for them to open up a line there, even if they want to insert a few useful secrets.
Hearing Yong Hui talk about a Nascent Soul-level dark chess piece that was lost during the period, Cang Hong, who was listening boredly at first, suddenly became interested and asked how the other party had abolished it.
Because looking at the entire line, the dark move can be said to be the most deeply arranged move, and its location and identity are also appropriate. The other party even planted it a long time ago before taking on this task. He has always cherished it and never used it. Why did the other party suddenly get involved this time when nothing else happened?
Speaking of this, Yonghui was a little embarrassed to talk about it. That secret agent was probably the stupidest one he had ever dealt with. It would be fine to say that the other person's whereabouts were exposed because of his reckless actions, but he never thought that he accidentally missed the mark because he got involved in the family struggle, and finally committed suicide out of fear of guilt. This man wanted to protect his wife and daughter before he begged to die.
I didn’t even think about it, if he died like this, would Yong Hui still want his family to survive? It is really shameful for a cultivator who has cultivated to the level of Nascent Soul and is about to reach the level of spiritual transformation to be so cowardly.
Such an idiot would dirty his own mouth if he said any more words. Naturally, Yonghui didn't want to dirty his master's ears with it, but she didn't expect that Cang Hong seemed to be somewhat interested in this person.
Naturally, Cang Hong was interested not because of a dead man, but what could have caused such a person with such a level of cultivation to commit suicide out of fear of crime.
You must know that there are not many people who have cultivated to Yuanying in Xuantian Sword Sect and are about to touch the threshold of becoming a god. No matter which main peak they go to, they can live a decent life, even if they rebel. So what happened to him that made him want to die like this?
Lord Canghong sensitively sensed a different message from this matter.
