Jiang Daoyuan looked at Zhong Yishan who was standing in front of Xiang Shen, his face blue and black, shocked and angry.
"I have spared Jiang Yi, but you have obstructed me again and again. Do you really think that my temper is controlled by a clay figure?!"
"Why did Master Jiang say this?"
Zhong Yishan's expression was indifferent, and his tone was still as cold and arrogant as before, "Protecting Jiang Yi is a private matter of Baihua Valley; and protecting the Supreme Lord is my decision to return to Mu Valley and has nothing to do with Baihua Valley.
If Fengyue Sect insists on taking action, then I, Guimu Valley, can go one step further and join forces with Baihua Valley now, but I don’t know the consequences... Can Sect Master Jiang bear it? "
Jiang Daoyuan's pupils suddenly shrank, he was shocked by Zhong Yishan's extremely tough attitude, and was speechless for a moment.
Xiang Shu looked at Zhong Yishan's back and frowned slightly.
She was very sure that there was no connection between herself and Guimugu. Why did Zhong Yishan protect her so much?
Is Jiang Yi helping secretly?
But Jiang Yi's reputation...is that big?
While Xiang Shuo was thinking, he saw Jiang Daoyuan's face turn from green to white, then from white to black. After changing for a while, he finally regained his composure.
He stopped looking at Shen, and turned his cold white eyes to focus on the cultivators in the hall again. His tone was gloomy and depressing: "You also want to take care of these people?"
Zhong Yishan narrowed his eyes indifferently and said, "Master, please excuse me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace suddenly changed their expressions and fled away without saying a word. However, no matter how fast they were, they could not reach the people of Fengyue Sect who had already been guarding the door, ready to attack.
The next moment, the Xuanyin Sect's main hall turned into a slaughterhouse, and there were screams.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh help me!"
"Jiang Daoyuan, you must die!"
"I don't want to die!"
"Let me go! Let me go!!"
"..."
Xuanyin Sect Leader, who was lying on the ground pretending to be faint, trembled when he heard it. He closed his eyes tightly and did not dare to open them.
Xiang Shu looked at this scene indifferently, feeling neither pleasure nor sadness in his heart, but only felt more awake.
This is the world of cultivation, where the weak eat the strong, and cruelty is the truth.
The screams lasted less than a cup of tea and then stopped abruptly.
Jiang Daoyuan personally took action to kill several people. The anger in his eyes dissipated a little, and he could see Xiang Shen's ignorant and fearless look, and the anger in his heart seemed to be resurrected.
"Zhong Yishan, you'd better protect her for the rest of your life!"
After saying these harsh words, Jiang Daoyuan simply rolled his sleeves and left angrily.
He was afraid that if he didn't leave, he would really be tempted to start a war with the two sects in advance.
One of the main masters left, and Qianxing Palace Master Li Wen had no excitement to see, so he naturally had no interest in staying. He said hello to the other two sect masters and left to mind his own business.
Jiang Yi looked at the bloody room with a slightly complicated expression.
He hesitated for a moment and walked up to Xiang Shu. Before he could speak, Xiang Shu said first:
"Needless to say, the relationship between you and me is simply a cooperative relationship. You are in a dilemma and making this choice is just human nature and there is nothing wrong with it."
Jiang Yi suddenly fell into silence as he listened.
"Si Wuyue" sounded like she was comforting him, but in fact she was drawing a clear line with him.
He was right, but the moment he hesitated, some relationships were destined to never return to their former glory.
He looked at Xiang Shen with a thousand words in his heart, which finally turned into a sigh and left with Baihua Valley.
After the third of the four sects left, Xuanyin Sect Master finally dared to open his eyes and stood up tremblingly, but his feet were weak and he could not stand up straight.
He looked at the leaving figures of Zhong Yishan and Xiang Shu and sighed sadly.
What he experienced today completely frightened him out of his wits, and I am afraid it will be difficult for him to advance further in his cultivation in the future.
Outside Xuanyin Sect, Zhong Yishan retreated to the left and right, and walked down the mountain with Xiang Shen alone.
"I am staying here temporarily just to speak clearly to you alone."
Zhong Yishan spoke as coldly and simply as ever, "I'm not here to save you."
This sounded awkward, but Xiang Shu understood it and asked, "Senior Zhong, do you think that starting a war on such occasions would be detrimental to the overall situation?"
Zhong Yishan glanced at Xiang Shen in surprise, "If you dare to compete with Jiang Daoyuan, you have confidence in yourself."
"My junior's cultivation is a bit lacking, but since I'm practicing outside, I always have a few trump cards in my hand to save my life."
Xiang Shenqing smiled lightly and said, "No matter what the purpose of my senior is, I will always remember the love that my senior showed me today."
Zhong Yi paused at the foot of the mountain, his eyes slightly cold, "I am staying here just to remind you not to be sentimental."
Seeing his reaction, Xiang Shen immediately realized something, and then smiled and said: "Senior Zhong is somewhat similar to junior, and he doesn't like to be implicated in karma. Senior Zhong, don't worry, this karma is only with me, and junior will not use this to get entangled with senior. I won’t continue to seek blessings from my seniors.”
Zhong Yishan's expression immediately softened and he said softly, "That's good."
After finishing this matter, Zhong Yishan didn't stay much, took a step and left in an instant.
Xiang Shu stood in front of the mountain steps and waited for a moment, then saw Zhong Yongchang coming quickly.
"Fellow Daoist Si."
Zhong Yongchang's face was exactly the same as Zhong Yishan's, cold and serious, but when facing Xiang Shen, his expression was quite gentle, "What did my father say to you?"
Xiang Shu smiled and said nothing.
Zhong Yongchang was silent for a moment, then continued: "My father doesn't like to mince words, and he speaks straight and straight. It's really unpleasant. Fellow Taoist, please don't take it to heart."
Xiang Shu suddenly burst into laughter, "Senior Zhong is my savior. Why would I care about such a trivial matter?"
"That's good."
After Zhong Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist Si, what are your plans next? Master Jiang is a narrow-minded person and will definitely target you all the time. My father protected you this time, but he will not do it next time." It’s hard to say.”
"It doesn't matter, I have my own plan."
Xiang Shen smiled and said, "I would like to ask fellow Zhong Daoyou to do me a favor."
After hearing what Xiang Shu said, Zhong Yongchang's expression changed, and finally he sighed softly: "I know."
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, just say goodbye."
Xiang Shu hugged his fists, turned around and hurried down the mountain, his figure disappearing at the end of the mountain road in a few flashes.
After bidding farewell to Xiang Shu, Zhong Yongchang caught up with his father who had been waiting for him not far away.
The two of them got on the spirit boat. Zhong Yongchang skillfully controlled the formation and returned home. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Father, why did you save Si Wuyue?"
Others didn't know the inside story, but he saw it clearly.
His father did not originally plan to save Si Wuyue, but suddenly changed his mind at the moment Si Wuyue was about to take action. What was the opportunity for the change?
Could it be that... Si Wuyue's identity is somewhat special?
Zhong Yishan, who was leaning against the boat with his eyes closed to relax, opened his eyes a little and said in a casual tone: "Want to know?"
Elder Zhong Yong nodded seriously: "I think so."
A smile spread across Zhong Yishan's lips, "As long as you are willing to succeed as the master of Guimu Valley, my father will tell you right away."
When Zhong Yongchang heard this, he sighed tiredly: "Father, you are less than 500 years old, why are you always in such a hurry to step down? Isn't it good to be the owner of a valley with all the authority?"
"Since you feel so powerful, why are you so reluctant to take over?" Zhong Yishan rebelled against the general.
Zhong Yongchang was immediately speechless and could only look at the sky, pretending not to hear.
Seeing his son's rogue appearance, Zhong Yishan shook his head slightly, "That's all, this matter concerns the underworld, so there's no harm in telling you."
Zhong Yongchang immediately became energetic and stared at his father with burning eyes.
"That Si Wuyue is not simple."
Zhong Yishan's tone was low, "Let me ask you, what level of the secret technique of "Seven Senses" have you learned?"
"'Seven Senses'?"
Zhong Yongchang looked embarrassed, "The "Secret Technique" is really difficult to practice, and it is far less easy to understand than the way of swordsmanship. My child has been making slow progress, and now I have just developed my second sense."
Zhong Yishan frowned slightly when he heard this, "What are your secrets of cultivation?"
His talent for martial arts is indeed lacking. "
Zhong Yongchang secretly rolled his eyes. He was already one of the four great talents in Dongzhou, but in front of his father, who was even more talented and evil, he really had nothing to be proud of.
"If you practice the "Seven Senses" to the fifth sense, you will be able to sense it secretly."
Returning to the topic, Zhong Yishan recalled the frightening feeling when "Si Wuyue" was about to make a move, and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, "If Si Wuyue makes a move, Jiang Daoyuan's life or death will be uncertain."
"What?!"
Zhong Yongchang was shocked. His father took action. He thought of many reasons, but he didn't expect the truth to be so... absurd!
He quickly thought of something and said in shock: "No wonder Si Daoyou never reveals his own cultivation, she is also in the Yuanying stage?! Of course Jiang Daoyuan can't beat the sword cultivator in the Yuanying stage. So father, what you are actually saving is not Fellow Daoist Si, but Jiang Daoyuan?!"
"Not too stupid."
After praising his son, Zhong Yishan grinned, "It doesn't matter what kind of cultivation Si Wuyue is. What matters is that this person is very deep in the city and very dangerous. You must be careful when you come into contact with him."
Zhong Yongchang nodded subconsciously, then thought of something again, and asked with a strange expression: "But father, why did you save Jiang Daoyuan? He secretly cooperated with the underworld, wouldn't it be better if he died today?"
"My father said it was uncertain whether he would live or die, but he didn't say he would definitely die."
At this point, Zhong Yishan paused and looked at Zhong Yongchang with a half-smile: "If I continue talking, it will involve five old news. This is a secret that only the sect master can know. Are you sure you still want to hear it?"
Zhong Yongchang was immediately dumbfounded.
Just now he was still thinking about how his father, who had always kept secrets secrets, was suddenly so generous and was waiting for him here!
But it feels really uncomfortable to hear half of it secretly.
Isn’t it just to be the owner of the valley? The worst-case scenario is that after taking over, he will just give up his job and leave all the work to the elders!
Thinking of this, Zhong Yongchang gritted his teeth and nodded: "Listen!"
Zhong Yishan immediately smiled.
Two days later, a piece of news spread widely through Guimu Valley’s intelligence channels.
In recent years, the Supreme Leader of Wanjianmen, who was famous for his ability to slay demons, suddenly announced his departure from Wanjianmen, and even used Zhong Yongchang's mouth to openly appeal to Fengyuemen.
"In the battle of Xuanyin Sect, the master of Fengyue Sect can only vent his anger on me. There is no need to use slanderous tactics to embarrass a small sect that is not a popular one. Otherwise, I have to wonder whether Fengyue Sect is an upright sect, or a crooked sect that will be punished by the evil spirit."
Once this statement came out, the whole world was shocked.
The Dongzhou monks, who did not know the inside story, immediately began to inquire about the relevant information about the Xuanyin Sect battle.
Fengyue Sect had already sealed this matter in advance, but Baihua Valley couldn't stop it from deliberately spreading the truth, and the whole world was in an uproar!
There are even rumors that Jiang Daoyuan was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out on the night the news spread.
Xiang Shen naturally heard the rumors, but she didn't want to laugh. She had more important things to do at the moment.
