It had only been a quarter of an hour since he flew back to Five Elements Sect. Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Pei Ji's confused and desperate look just now. A year ago, he was only on the eighth floor of the foundation, and he was able to escape after racking his brains under Pei Ji. Of course, if he had not teleported away at that time, he might not be able to reach such a state now, let alone get to know Tianji Pavilion and Yaowang Valley. A bunch of big guys.
In the dark, it seems that there is destiny.
I also remembered what I had been told before. You cannot kill at will when you cross a large realm. Although the way of heaven is slim and no one has seen the fate of all those who kill low realms, there are rumors in the world of immortality and everyone has acquiesced to these rules. Say no. The feeling of being unclear about the path of enlightenment may be related to what was said in the past life, that there is a god when you raise your head three feet high.
What exactly is the way of heaven? The oath of heaven can be sensed, so if I didn't upgrade Pei Ji and his uncle and killed them directly, would there be something attached to me, like the resentment of monsters and beasts?
Zhang Xiaosheng kept thinking, maybe the law of heaven is not as strict as everyone rumored, but it just cannot be killed at will? However, regardless of whether Tiandao really has this rule, he did take advantage of it, but he did not violate it after all.
After thinking all the way, he soon arrived at the gate of Five Elements Sect. With a sweep of his consciousness, there seemed to be more spies around him. Zhang Xiaosheng sneered, quietly opened the formation, and got in.
When he came to the sect master's hall, he saw that Luo Xuan was still guarding Fan Pan, but his expression was a little nervous. When he saw him coming in, Luo Xuan obviously felt a lot more relaxed, and he stepped forward and said:
"Sect Master, the summons mentioned before has not been received. I am still worried about the Sect Master. Could it be that things are not going well?"
Zhang Xiaosheng felt a little warm in his heart, forced a smile, and said:
"Don't worry, things are going well." He immediately looked at Fan Pan who was tied to the pillar and said through gritted teeth:
"But the smoother it goes, the more I want to rip off the skin of such traitorous people!"
Luo Xuan was startled, then understood, and sighed, saying:
"Sect Master, please be more open-minded. No one wants this scum to appear in our sect, but I believe that the Five Elements Sect will become stronger and stronger under the leadership of the Sect Master."
"Definitely!" Zhang Xiaosheng nodded heavily and said:
"Send the order, all elders come to the sect master's hall quickly!"
"yes."
Soon, Mu Yihu and others filed in. When they saw Fan Pan tied to the pillar, they were all shocked. Mu Yihu stepped forward first and said:
"Third brother, are you addicted to acting? There are no outsiders here. Why are you tying yourself to the pillar? Untie yourself quickly."
As he spoke, he looked at the Great Elder Luo Xuan, who only had pain in his eyes.
Zhang Xiaosheng remained silent. The deeper the feelings between these people, the harder it would be to accept it. However, Fan Pan's incident must not be tolerated. It should be regarded as the pain of picking out rotten flesh.
Seeing that Luo Xuan's expression was not right, everyone looked at the sect leader again and found that he was also silent. They seemed to know that something was wrong. Even Mu Yihu, who had always had a hot and direct temper, could not help but fall silent. Everyone stood in two rows, which was rare. None of them saluted Zhang Xiaosheng.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing. Zhang Xiaosheng sighed softly and said:
"No need to say more, let's talk after reading it."
After saying that, he threw out an array disk and stopped it in the sky of the main hall. The array disk's light flashed, and then the scene of Zhang Xiaosheng at Fangshi Inn appeared in the hall.
The first thing that came into view was the deacon of the inner sect of the Bihai Chaosheng Sect, led by Fan Pan, who entered the room, followed by a strange monk, and... Fan Pan's two direct disciples who should have died long ago!
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes. They quickly turned their gazes and stared at the screen again.
"When you master and disciple meet again, you might as well catch up on old times first."
"...Any accumulated evil requires sacrifice in exchange for rebirth..."
"Could it be that...that's one of ours too?"
"...captured it and sealed its realm and consciousness..."
"...If something goes wrong in the clan's plan, can you bear the responsibility?"
"...The Five Elements Sect no longer exists, and you will be the leader of the Five Elements Hall..."
"...Fan Pan, fulfill your sect's instructions with all your heart, so that you can take care of yourself."
…
In less than a stick of incense, the picture disappeared, but the hall fell into a deathly silence. Everyone's face was pale, including Luo Xuan. Although he knew that Fan Pan intended to betray, he also knew that the person in the picture Fan Pan was pretending to be the sect leader, but the content of the conversation was understandable to even a fool. After actually seeing the evidence, Luo Xuan felt a little panicked and didn't know what to do.
Mu Yihu took two steps towards Fan Pan with difficulty, his eyes were red, and he asked:
"Third brother, didn't you agree to pretend to surrender to the enemy? Tell me what's going on! Why are your two disciples still alive? What's going on! Tell me quickly!"
By the end, his voice had turned into a roar.
Everyone also looked at Fan Pan who was tied up, wondering and expecting, as if they wanted to hear Fan Pan give a reasonable explanation, an explanation that would make them feel at ease. Although looking at the situation, the truth of the matter may be like this, but like this The truth is too cruel for them.
It seems that the brotherhood and friendship of more than a hundred years cannot withstand such a blow.
Fan Pan also saw everything in the picture. When the sect master turned into his appearance, he knew that he was finished. At this time, looking at the people in the hall, he felt a little sad in his heart. He had paid so much, but he could not I can't see the end of the Five Elements Sect. If these people persist in their obsession, I'm afraid the Five Elements Sect will really... cease to exist!
He closed his eyes and ignored Mu Yihu's questions.
"No need to ask, I'm the one pretending to be Fan Pan in the picture." Zhang Xiaosheng's voice sounded faintly, drawing everyone's attention.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Xiaosheng's facial muscles trembled slightly, changing from Liu Tianyu's appearance to Fan Pan's, and his state also changed to the fourth level of Jindan again.
"This..." Everyone was shocked again, "Sect Master, what on earth is going on!"
Zhang Xiaosheng regained his face again, sighed and said:
"Actually, as early as when something happened to Elder Ning's disciple, I suspected that someone in the sect was rebelling, and it was an elder level. However, all the elders have grown up in the Five Elements Sect for more than a hundred years. I can't believe anyone who says it, but I have been paying attention secretly, but I have not gained anything for several years.”
"Later on, something happened in the spirit mine. You may still remember that it was just a few days after Mo Wuhen detected the Tianling Root. The other party moved so quickly and cleverly avoided two warning positions. I began to doubt Fan Pan. I know this is not good, Fan Pan has just lost his direct disciple, so I started to doubt him, but as the sect leader, I have to be responsible for the entire Five Elements Sect, and I cannot let go of any possibility because of my feelings."
"To be honest, I have doubts about everyone here, including the great elder."
Everyone was still silent.
"After careful consideration, only Fan Pan was the most suspicious, so I informed the Great Elder to monitor him secretly. Sure enough, not long after, Fan Pan released a trace of mental power to control an outer disciple. I went to the place where Luo Xin was practicing and sent a note, which said: Mo Wuhen is the root of heaven."
"Only the elders know about Mo Wuhen. Luo Xin didn't know about it originally! You must also know what Fan Panju's intentions are."
Yan Song and Duan Jiangzhe heard about it for the first time, but they didn't have much reaction in their hearts, just because what the sect leader said at this time was more serious.
"Then, I announced the retreat and asked the Great Elder and Fan Pan to assist Elder Zhou in establishing the spirit gathering formation. It is true to help the disciples improve their cultivation speed. It is also true to monitor Fan Pan by the way. I have to find something for him to do."
"But I secretly left the sect and went out to investigate the spiritual mine incident."
"Although there were some accidents along the way and I got some opportunities, the important thing is that I found Tian Chuanfeng, the casual cultivator who escaped from the Hongye Sect's spiritual mine twenty-one years ago. At that time, he was trapped in the Hengduan Mountains. By chance, I rescued him, and he swore an oath of allegiance to me. It was then that I realized that the Hongye Sect Spirit Mine was not the work of Tagawa Yutaka and the others at all. They were just designed to gather there to represent the real people. The person who did it just takes the blame."
"Sect Master, Natagawa Feng is at the eighth level of cultivation. How can the Sect Master save him..."
"Sect Master, who is the one who really takes action?"
Zhang Xiaosheng waved his hand, did not answer the first question, and continued:
"Although the person who actually did it is not clear, the Bihai Chaosheng Sect must know about it. Since there can be a first time, why can't there be a second time, so Tagawa Yutaka and I boldly guessed that our sect's spiritual mine incident , the Bihai Chaosheng Sect is also involved.”
"So Tagawa Yutaka and I made a plan and divided our forces into two groups. He had an agreement to pursue the Bihai Chaosheng Sect, so he went to provide us with some information compiled by us, while I returned to the sect and, with everyone's help, Come on, you put on such a show!"
"The previous plan was true, but the arrival of the inner sect deacon was unexpected. Although it is not difficult to capture him at the ninth level of the Golden Core, I was not sure that there would be no movement, so I did not To summon you, I just used the formation to burn information. As for Fan Pan, after you left the hall yesterday, I captured him and kept him under control. The words in the picture are just some words designed by me to show the truth. .”
Everyone fell into silence again. Luo Xuan seemed to have been mentally prepared, so he was more awake than everyone else at this time. He noticed the details in the sect leader's words and asked in a trembling voice:
"The sect master just said that it is not difficult to capture him at the ninth level of the Golden Core. May I ask what level the sect master is now?"
After hearing this, several people in the hall reacted. Even Fan Pan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiaosheng.
Zhang Xiaosheng was neither happy nor sad, and said softly:
"The ninth level of the Golden Core...the pinnacle."
There was a gasp of air in the hall.
