Suo Teng was silent for a moment thoughtfully, and said: "Actually, I have always had something buried in my heart, and I don't know whether to say it or not."
Yue Chenfeng was slightly startled, "The Great Elder said it bluntly, you and I have been friends for many years, how can I still blame you?"
Suo Teng nodded: "Pavilion Master, have you noticed that our Tianjian Pavilion's successive troubles seem to have started when we brought back the spirit-swallowing beast from Xiaoyuan."
"Of course, I'm not saying that the decision to bring back the spirit-swallowing beast was wrong, but I feel that everything behind this seems to be inseparable from the spirit-swallowing beast."
"For example, the theft of the Resource Building caused panic in the sect, and then the other two factions took advantage of it, and then two of them died, etc..."
"All these may seem unrelated, but if you think about it carefully, there is actually a causal relationship."
After hearing this, Yue Chenfeng frowned slightly and said, "What the Great Elder means is that the spirit-swallowing beast has an owner? And its owner has a strong background?"
Suo Teng shook his head and said: "There must be an owner. Otherwise, Zeng Ping would not have suffered such revenge, and there would not be those bloody words left on the square."
"As for his background, that person was able to break into the resource building without anyone noticing, which shows that he is quite capable, but his status is probably not high."
"Otherwise, he doesn't need to go to such trouble at all. He only needs to reveal his identity, and our Tianjian Pavilion can only apologize obediently. There is no need to leave that line of blood."
"Based on this speculation, I can conclude that he is not a disciple of the six major sects, or even a disciple of a first-rate force."
Hearing this, Yue Chenfeng couldn't help but look slightly relaxed, and asked: "Then how should we explain the actions of Wuya Sword Sect and Jinghong Que later? Could it be that they were trying to help them out?"
Suo Teng denied: "It's impossible. If the two factions really have a close relationship with the master of the spirit-swallowing beast, the two factions can send high-level troops to join forces and take over our Tianjian Pavilion."
"There is no need to take action against the Sihai Gate and the Five Color Gate, just to alert the Sword Palace."
"I guess that the reason why Wuya Sword Sect took action was probably because they knew that our resource building was looted, so they took the opportunity to cause trouble and wanted to test our Tianjian Pavilion's reaction."
"As for the Jinghong Tower behind, it's just that Wuya Sword Sect is getting an advantage and we haven't made any big moves, so we want to get a share of the pie and also test the Sword Palace's reaction."
"So, after receiving the warning from Sword Palace, the matter was dropped."
I have to say that there is some truth in the saying that people become better with age.
There is almost no deviation in Suo Teng's analysis. The reason why Wuya Sword Sect and Jinghong Que took action was indeed mostly due to testing.
But if Mingxin Sword Palace hadn't warned him, the result would have been hard to say.
Yue Chenfeng was silent for a while and then asked: "How does the Great Elder think our Tianjian Pavilion can get out of the current predicament?"
Suo Teng said: "First, recruit many disciples and solidify the foundation."
"Secondly, vigorously explore the malleable talents within the school and provide as many resources as possible so that they can quickly become a mid-level force."
"Third, abandon sectarian views and recruit talents to enrich the top management."
"These three points can not only deal with the immediate crisis, but also stabilize the foundation and ensure that our Tianjian Pavilion continues to have new blood."
After hearing this, Yue Chenfeng burst into laughter and said with a relaxed expression:
"The Great Elder is indeed the pillar of my Tianjian Pavilion. Just listening to your words makes me feel at ease! It's just... I don't quite understand this third point..."
Suo Teng smiled and said: "The master of the pavilion must understand, because our Tianjian Pavilion has a similar experience in the historical materials."
"Historical data? You mean... guest?" Yue Chenfeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said.
"Exactly, whether your guest is good or bad, it all depends on how you control it, Master. In addition, I feel that the 'Wenjian Mountain' below can no longer be as laissez-faire as before. We can follow the example of Xuanlian Pavilion and turn it into a Directly brought under unified management..."
"..."
The two absolute talkative men of Tianjian Pavilion were constantly scheming in the small pavilion.
It wasn't until two or three hours later that Soten got up and left.
From this moment on, Tianjian Pavilion began various system reforms, one of which was to send the second elder of the sect, 'You Shu', to station in Wenjian Mountain.
There is no doubt that they are preparing to completely control Wenjian Mountain in the hands of Tianjian Pavilion.
However, things did not go as smoothly as expected.
When You Shu arrived at Wenjian Mountain, Wenjian Mountain had already been disbanded in advance, and the senior members of the sect were empty. There are only some 'miscellaneous' disciples who still occupy the top of the mountain and become bandits here.
With the dissolution of Wenjian Mountain, the original Sihai Mansion and Wuse Mansion once again fell into chaos, and murders and treasure grabbing were commonplace.
Some people even directly focused their attention on You Shu, which made the second elder who was distracted in the late stage extremely angry.
He explored the south for a long time, but could not find the whereabouts of the people in Wenjian Mountain. In the end, he could only return to Tianjian Pavilion in a depressed manner and report the matter to the superiors.
At this point, a name named 'Lin Yu' gradually became prominent in the Nanming realm.
...
Of course, Lu Li had no idea about this.
At this time, he had successfully arrived at Xuanwei City, the first city in Xuanwei Realm.
Xuanwei City was very different from the other big cities Lu Li had visited before. Here, various puppets and magical formations could be seen everywhere.
The first thing that attracted Lu Li were the puppets in front of some shops.
As soon as you get close, the puppet will shout 'Welcome! ', and when someone comes out of it, the guy will say: "Come back next time!"
Lu Li found it very strange and curiously walked in and out of the door for a few rounds. As a result, the guy got stuck and couldn't turn around for a long time.
A fat man walked out of it and said angrily: "There's something wrong with you, right?"
Lu Li smiled bitterly, turned around and left.
Not far away, Lu Li saw a hut the size of a coffin standing on the side of the road.
People would go in from time to time, but no one would come out.
This puzzled Lu Li and he thought, where have all these people gone?
Out of curiosity, he opened the door and walked in with Yanhai.
When I walked in, I found that behind the door was a stone staircase going down, and I could faintly hear the sounds of various musical instruments and playfulness.
Lu Li thought for a while and asked Yanhai to go down first to check the situation.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, Yanhai did not come out. In desperation, he had no choice but to go down in person.
When he came down and took a look, he discovered that there was a huge underground space below. The roof was inlaid with countless brilliant crystals of various colors, and the light of various colors fell down, making people dazzled.
There are many tables and chairs inside, and many people gather here to drink and have fun.
The sound of musical instruments, drinking orders, laughter... all kinds of sounds mixed together, making Lu Li's head feel a little buzzing.
And when he turned his eyes, he saw a high platform in the central area, with more than a dozen beautiful young women on it, wearing semi-transparent gauze, dancing on it.
Many people's eyes glowed green when they saw it, and Yanhai was standing on the periphery of the crowd.
However, Yanhai was not in the mood to watch the woman on the stage because he felt that he was in trouble...
