As soon as Luo Xuan said Fan Pan, Zhang Xiaosheng interrupted, saying that he would save Fan Pan for last.
"Elder Fan Pan won't mention it for now. Elder Luo, let's talk about you and Elder Mu."
Luo Xuan was startled, seemed to understand something, and then said:
"I propose to treat everyone with the utmost malice, so naturally I have to set an example." After saying that, he cupped his fists and saluted Zhang Xiaosheng:
"The sect leader is a man of great talent and strategy. I am willing to die with you to prove my innocence. You can search for my soul."
Ning Xuan looked at Luo Xuan with a shocked expression. Searching the soul is to use mental power to explore the opponent's spiritual platform and search the sea of consciousness. Then this person will not have any secrets.
One sentence is sufficient proof of innocence.
Zhang Xiaosheng smiled and said:
"It doesn't have to be like this, it's just analysis. You and Elder Ning are the people I trust the most. Elder Mu is extroverted and impulsive and has a bad temper. Do you think there is any suspicion?"
Luo Xuan also had nothing to say for a moment. To say that Mu Yihu could cultivate to the fifth level of the Golden Core, he couldn't be a purely impulsive person. But when it comes to evidence, you can't say that he is a good person without evidence. Not a good person.
"Sect Master, twenty years ago, something happened to the Hongye Sect, and our sect also came to help. It was Elder Mu." Ning Xuan thought for a moment and said:
"At that time... the sect master had not yet become the sect master, but you should remember that during the period of Elder Mu's assistance, he fought bravely to be the first in every battle, and even personally killed a fleeing Jindan cultivator."
"Also at the sect exchange conference eight years ago, Elder Mu also fought hard to defeat the elder of the Golden Sword Sect and scored three points for our sect. If he intended to betray, why would he do this? At that time, the competition was fought with all his strength. , even if we lose, no one can blame us."
Luo Xuan nodded and said:
"Yes, the second child looks impulsive and careless on the outside, but he is very affectionate and I can't say anything else wrong with him."
"In this way, Elder Cui Zhi cannot be seen alive or dead, and he cannot completely escape suspicion. But since he has disappeared, there is nothing to worry about. I was worried that destroying the spiritual mine was only the first step. If we released the If the sect asks for help, the other party will definitely do something secretly and secretly surround and kill several fellow Jindan Taoists from other sects, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to explain it either.”
Zhang Xiaosheng concluded:
"If this is the case, regardless of whether Elder Cui betrayed him or not, there must be a ghost inside the sect. As for Hong Ya, I don't think so. He goes out to look for disciples, so he has a lot of time to spread the news, and his spiritual roots are tested every year. The time is fixed, even if he didn't know that Mo Wuhen was the Tianlinggen at that time, he could still release the news in advance that the Five Elements Sect has a peerless genius."
Zhang Xiaosheng knew that Hongya must not be the case, but he still needed a convincing reason, so he continued:
"If someone adds fuel to the fire, even if we don't have it, we still have it. Everyone knows that there is no smoke without fire. Do we want to test the spiritual roots of all our disciples in front of them to prove our innocence? Even then, some people will doubt whether we are A genius disciple is hidden in secret.”
Upon saying this, Luo Xuan and Ning Xuan both nodded in agreement.
When the conversation reached this point, coupled with the sudden interruption of the sect leader just now, both of them had some guesses and some disbelief, waiting to see what the sect leader had to say.
It's not that they believe in Fan Pan, it's that they don't dare to believe or don't want to believe everyone.
"As for Fan Pan..."
Zhang Xiaosheng really wanted to say that Fan Pan has a cold reputation now. Without the 10,000 reputation blessing from the sect master, he would have fallen into a hostile reputation. Isn't it obvious?
But this cannot be said.
Regarding Fan Pan, Zhang Xiaosheng still had some doubts. It was because the sect leader's reputation and blessing meant that Fan Pan still recognized the Five Elements Sect, but he couldn't figure out why he rebelled against the sect.
"A few years ago, an inner disciple was killed. Putting aside the motive, Fan Pan was able to meet the conditions."
"Secondly, there were no inner disciples stationed at the Spirit Mine. Later, after I became the sect master, in order to ensure the safety of the Spirit Mine, a secret post was set up a hundred miles away from the Spirit Mine, and it was manned by an inner disciple. Every shift I will personally tell the location of each of my disciples, and it changes every five years. Luo Xin is my direct disciple and the first person to be stationed there. Even Elder Cui Zhi doesn't know about this."
After hearing this, Luo Xuan and Ning Xuan looked slightly surprised.
It is said to be stationed, but in fact it is to monitor the movement.
Both internally and externally, although the spiritual mine was of great importance and no matter how careful you were, it was still difficult for the two of you to accept it for a while. I wonder if the sect master also left a secret whistle around him.
Zhang Xiaosheng still admired Liu Tianyu's methods, so he explained it for Liu Tianyu and said:
"Although it is hard to guard the spiritual mine, the spiritual energy near the spiritual mine is abundant and the sect is prosperous. No matter who goes there, it can be helpful to the cultivation. I entrust Elder Cui Zhi with important tasks and do not doubt the people he employs. This is my sincerity. Arrange secret sentry Stationed on the side, just in case, this is what I do."
After saying this, both of them were shocked at the same time, and the trace of unnaturalness they felt just now disappeared.
Compassion does not command troops!
As the head of a sect, the sect master naturally has to consider the general direction and cannot place all his hopes on people's hearts. They are both people who have practiced for more than a hundred years. Luo Xuan and Ning Xuan naturally understand this truth.
"And the second person stationed there was Elder Fan Pan's eldest disciple. At the time of the incident, I did not receive a warning summons from him. It was either a direct betrayal or there was no time for a summons."
"It goes without saying that there is direct betrayal, but if there is no time for summons..."
Zhang Xiaosheng paused and continued: "Luo Xin's original location has been destroyed. Now the location of the secret sentry is only known to me and Fan Pan's senior disciple, so the other party must have known the location in advance, but how did this location leak out? Where are you going out?"
Although it has not been explained, the answer is already obvious.
"Elder Luo, let me ask you, if I arranged for you to do something secret, and the respected master asked you about it, would you answer it?"
Luo Xuan was silent for a long time before saying:
"Master was also the great elder of the sect at that time. He worked hard for the sect. If he were forced to ask, I... would probably answer."
"So, either the master and the apprentice betrayed, or Fan Pan forced him to find out the location of the secret sentry, and the other party had already made arrangements before taking action, so that he did not have time to issue a warning. Regardless of the possibility, Fan Pan...has already rebelled."
Ning Xuan's face was complicated, and after a moment, he roared:
"Thief, I can't wait to cut him into pieces!"
Luo Xuan was silent for a long time, and then said leisurely:
"Fan Laosan, you have been favored by the sect for more than a hundred years, why should you do this!"
To be honest, Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't figure out what made Fan Pan care about the Five Elements Sect and want to destroy the Five Elements Sect.
"Sect Master, should we capture Fan Pan at this time?"
Luo Xuan asked again.
"The sect is closing the mountain at this time. We all share the same hatred of the enemy and are in high spirits. If the news of the betrayal of the inner sect elders is exposed, I am afraid that we will be hit hard and will never recover from it."
"Oh, that's right." Luo Xuan sighed helplessly after hearing Zhang Xiaosheng's words.
"However, the mountain is closed at this time, and Fan Pan cannot communicate with the outside world. You only need to keep an eye on him secretly to prevent him from making any further moves. As for someone outside the sect, there must be someone in contact with him. I still want to keep him and follow the clues. , catch them all in one fell swoop and avoid future troubles forever!"
"yes!"
Luo Xuan responded and immediately said bitterly:
"Third brother, why is he like this!"
Ning Xuan had a vengeance of killing his disciples before, and almost died later. He was already suppressing his anger. When Luo Xuan said this, he suddenly became angry and angrily shouted:
"You still call him Lao San!"
Luo Xuan was startled, and when he saw Ning Xuan's eyes were red, he turned his head slightly and did not care about him.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly advised:
"Elder Ning, you need to suppress your hatred for the time being. When your strength recovers, I will give you a chance to kill the traitor with your own hands!"
After hearing this, Ning Xuan trembled all over, with tears in his eyes, and said seriously:
"Thank you, Master!"
[Ningxuan’s reputation +6000, loyalty 1000/1000]
[When the reputation value overflows, it will be automatically converted into reputation pill (100)*30]
Seeing Ning Xuan's expression, Zhang Xiaosheng, who had received the reputation pill, was not happy at all and continued:
"Since it is announced that you have died, I will take care of Xiao Dan first, and you will be the one to preach when you come back."
After Ning Xuan heard this, he took two steps back, prostrated himself on the ground, and said:
"Sect Master, this girl Xiao Dan is smart and has excellent qualifications. Although she has not been in contact with her for a long time, I think she is very intelligent and is not inferior to Luo Xin. I also ask the Sect Master to take her under his sect, so as not to delay Ning's future. "
Before Zhang Xiaosheng could refuse, Ning Xuan said again:
"Furthermore, the apprentice who died tragically before has not been avenged. Ning really has no shame in being a teacher anymore. Please forgive me!"
Now that the words have reached this point, Zhang Xiaosheng naturally can no longer refuse.
In fact, after he learned that Xiao Dan's spiritual root attributes were relatively balanced, he had the idea of accepting him. After all, although he was someone else's disciple, he couldn't teach him how he wanted even though he was the sect leader.
Originally he just wanted to make it clear to Ning Xuan in advance, but since Ning Xuan also had this intention, it was much simpler.
Everything was settled, Zhang Xiaosheng once again said a few words to heal his wounds, and then left with Luo Xuan.
Ning Xuan got the news about his enemy for the first time today, and he felt excited for a moment. However, when he saw the leaving figures of Zhang Xiaosheng and Fan Pan, he also fell into endless complexity when he thought of his friendship with Fan Pan for more than a hundred years.
After the formation closed, the scenery in front of him disappeared, leaving only nothingness. The old guardian opened his cloudy eyes again and stared at the direction Zhang Xiaosheng left. He seemed to be able to see through everything through the formation and remained silent for a long time.
