The Duanhai Waterfall is crowded with people, and the adjacency of the Wanxiang Sect adds a different meaning to the skyscape of this waterfall.

There are sons of aristocratic families who come here to play, scholars who come here to enjoy the scenery and write poems, and even poor families who want to try their luck to visit the mountain gate with their families.

Most of the former two are in Goulan along the coast, while the latter are gathered on the embankment.

But this area of ​​hustle and bustle is separated by waterfalls and natural moats, half of which are bustling and lively crowds, and half of which are the majestic and deserted palace complexes.

Because it is next to the waterfall, the low-level disciples have a low level of cultivation. In order to prevent moisture from entering the body, the building materials of the palace are either made of water-proof materials or engraved with water-proof patterns, so that they can walk dryly and freely.

On the long corridor leading to the important place of the sect, the sound of two footsteps sounded like it was more than a month ago.

"Fifth, are those guys still arguing at the Zongmen meeting yesterday?"

The voice of the middle-aged man with whiskers was a little tired.

Lao Wu glanced at his old friend beside him:

"I was going to ask you, but you didn't go?"

"."

Hearing this, the two of them fell silent suddenly, and after a long while, the bearded man let out a long sigh:

"I'm arguing there every day, blaming each other, pushing each other, and I can't make any progress for a long time. It's the same as if I didn't go. How is the side you are in charge of?"

Hearing this question, the fifth child slowly looked sideways at the distance.

The scenery here is very good, you can have a panoramic view of the whole waterfall.

After watching for a few breaths, Lao Wu slowly opened his mouth:

"The second elder's idiot has been telling me to send people over to investigate quickly. How can I investigate? How dare I investigate? Ji Wencheng and the three of them haven't heard anything back for so long. It's probably because of an accident. Now sending people over to be caught in the urn, isn't it because there is no money here? Three hundred taels?"

The bearded man folded the joints of his fingers and made a "click" sound:

"Three great masters, they just disappeared without a sound. Is it Yuanchu?"

The fifth child shook his head:

"The current problem is not about this. We must quickly find a way to solve the problem. Half a month ago, we planted a dark seed in the surrounding counties and counties. We have sent back news that there is an army mobilized to Shengshan County. As a result, the discussion has not made any progress until now. nothing."

The bearded man nodded:

"Indeed it is."

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and asked in a low voice: "I remember that when the incident happened, Xiao He and that idiot surnamed Li seemed to be in Shengshan County. What happened to them?"

The fifth child shook his head when he heard the words:

"Xiao He is fine, but she was hit hard. She should be under house arrest by the suzerain now, but she should be able to figure it out. As for that idiot surnamed Li, he should be dead by now."

"died?"

The bearded man frowned.

Twenty-year-old fourth-grade fusion body, if Li Erzhu realizes the Tao within two years, the suzerain will most likely train him as a son-in-law.

Otherwise, Xiao He would not be allowed to hang out with him all the time.

The fifth child narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice:

"On the way back to the sect, he told me that he was going back to Shengshan County to kill demons."

The bearded man raised his eyebrows, and said strangely:

"Killing monsters in the beast tide?"

paused,

The old fifth's eyes were complicated, and he remembered Li Erzhu's words when he knelt in front of him:

"Fifth elder, the sect's kindness to me can't be repaid in this life, but can I go back there and kill the monster? Or the elder just killed me with a sword.

"My conscience is really troubled."

He squinted his eyes for some unknown meaning, and the fifth child said in a low voice:

"You also watched him grow up and know his temperament."

"."

The bearded man was taken aback for a moment, thinking of the boy's temperament, he snorted softly:

"He asked you to kill him?"

"Um."

"Stupid."

"So I asked him to kill the demon." Lao Wu smiled.

The bearded man frowned upon hearing this:

"Aren't you afraid that he will reveal the matter?"

The fifth child smiled, very coldly:

"The Zongmen's kindness to him is like a mountain, and his temperament will never be forgotten.

"The suzerain died in battle for Shengshan County, which can remove some of our suspicions, which is much more valuable than me killing him with a sword."

The bearded man rubbed his eyebrows:

"It's a pity, such a person can still be a good tool if he uses it well."

Lao Wu glanced at the bearded man, lowered his eyes, and said meaningfully:

"Maybe, maybe it doesn't matter"

"." The bearded man looked puzzled.

Without speaking again, the two walked to the end of the corridor, and the door of the main meeting hall came into view.

push the door in,

Different from the heavy atmosphere last time, the whole hall is a bit noisy at this moment.

The various voices of more than a dozen people mixed together. Compared with an important high-level meeting, this place is more like a small vegetable market.

One of the old men pointed at the nose of a young man in brocade robes facing him and cursed:

"He Jigu! You must be thinking about your Fenghai Chamber of Commerce! For such a big plan for the entire sect, the total plate in Shengshan County is 50,000 taels? It has to be withdrawn in advance. It turns out that there is no goal. Okay, If you do this, won't you have a target?!"

The young man in brocade robe held a folding fan and slammed it on the table:

"Wine lunatic, don't yell here, isn't it you who are most responsible for this failure?! You are responsible for the matchmaking and acceptance of the formation. If there is no problem with the formation, how could we fail?!"

"Bastard!! There is absolutely no way there will be a problem with the formation!"

"Then tell me how this thing was broken? The Magic Fog Formation is the work of Xu Xinyao's formation master, but speaking of this, the formation research you are in charge of, old man Jiu, is really disappointing. Every year the sect invests It’s so big, not to mention the phantom mist formation, but in the end, even the ghost suppression formation has to be bought by others!! Do you know how much money it is?!”

"The core of the ghost-killing formation is the old man's own research, and some of the edge lines he bought will become the whole in the mouth of a yellow-mouthed boy like you."

"."

"."

Listening to the quarrels in the hall, Lao Wu and the bearded man who stepped into the door looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Seeing the two people coming in, the Vientiane Sect Master suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly:

"The fifth and youngest are here, please stop for a while."

"."

The voice was vigorous and powerful, and it directly echoed in the minds of everyone in the hall.

Seeing this scene, the quarreling senior management stopped, but they still glared at each other.

You don't have to obey the suzerain's order, but you still have to give face.

The Vientiane Sovereign exhaled, and asked in a calm voice:

"What progress have you two made?"

The information and intelligence related matters that the two are responsible for are almost the most important two in the Wanxiang sect at this stage.

The mobilization of the troops in the local counties, the movements of the troops in other states, and even the content of the memorials to the court, all have to be obtained by the two of them.

The current high-level quarrel is largely due to the fear of insufficient information.

They don't know the current situation of the three people in charge of the formation, whether the people in Shengshan County are dead or not, how much their plan has been exposed, or even what the court's attitude is now.

Now, they only know that the imperial court will send troops to Shengshan County.

Other than that, nothing is known.

Ants on a hot pan.

The fifth child bowed and brought a useful but bad news:

"My lord, I sent Anzi to Shengshan County with the reinforcements. Today, the news came that the tide of monsters was stopped. The reinforcements cleared out more than 90% of the monsters. More than 200,000 people died in the city."

The Suzerain of Vientiane asked the most critical question:

"Have you found out who helped Shengshan County in the city?"

This matter is related to their next countermeasures.

"."

Hearing this question, Lao Wu went to the seat and sat down, whispering:

"We only know of two people who have been there. The school lieutenant named Wang Jiadian from Shengshan County personally received them. One of them is a great master, and the other has no cultivation level, but the great master seems to be his follower."

The Suzerain of Vientiane narrowed his eyes;

"Can you continue the investigation?"

The fifth child shook his head, feeling a little helpless:

"Our Anzi's highest status is only a thousand-person superintendent, and the clue is broken."

Shengshan County, county government.

A man with a cold face stood in the slightly messy county office, looking at Adjutant Li sitting in the hall with a smile.

After Lieutenant Wang left, Adjutant Li took his place, with a hesitant expression on his face:

"Mr. Yi, what do you mean, don't build a shrine for Mr. Zhou? You even want to erase the news that he has been here?"

Yi Tian arched his hands:

"I also hope that Lieutenant Li understands that the general situation of our intelligence business should not be too famous."

Adjutant Li pondered for a moment, then said:

"But many Shuli have seen them."

Yi Tian smiled, squinted his eyes and answered softly:

"These people, we will take responsibility.

"You just need to erase Zhou Chen in the report to the county government, is that okay?"

There was silence in the meeting hall,

"The clue is broken?" The Vientiane Sovereign frowned.

The voice of the fifth child is very firm:

"Someone is interfering with our investigation of this matter."

paused,

Lao Wu looked around and whispered slowly: "But the range can be narrowed."

talking,

He raised three fingers and retracted one after each sentence:

"Breaking the formation, besieging and killing the three great masters, and being able to directly contact the important ministers above the court, I believe everyone knows who can do these three things in the state."

As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly noisy.

"Is it Tianyin Temple? Or Fengqingmen?"

"It's unlikely. Those two sects have always been friends with us, and the surrounding interests are basically the same."

"Who would that be?"

"Too much."

"."

Amidst the noisy discussion, the young man in brocade robe holding a folding fan suddenly said:

"I think it's the Qin family in the state capital, or the Nangong family in Anxi County. In the past, these two aristocratic families have always had conflicts with our generation in the market share. Before the disciples traveled abroad, they lost a lot of people in their hands. If the state government hadn't intervened in the mediation, we would have been deadly enemies with them."

Hearing this, the drunk lunatic on the opposite side suddenly spoke at this moment:

"Share conflict? Deadly feud? He Jigu, don't pick a good word. They originally put their property in our name to avoid court taxation. In the end, you want to directly annex and occupy them. If it is really them, this matter is because of you. rise."

Hearing this, young master Jinpao had blue veins on his forehead, Qi surged all over his body, his fan creaked when he was pinched, and the words came out between his teeth:

"Old wine man, keep your dog's mouth clean, this is the sect's decision."

"Shut up!"

The Suzerain of Vientiane suddenly let out a low voice.

He felt a little tired, and if he didn't make a sound, the people below would start arguing again.

Suppressing everyone, he looked at the frowning fifth child in his seat:

"Fifth, what do you think of this matter?"

The fifth child raised his eyes, and his tone was somewhat complicated:

"Sect Master, elders, what you say is reasonable, but if they really did it, we still have room for maneuver in this matter."

"."silence.

The people present were thinking about the meaning of these words, and some people who reacted quickly showed a look of surprise and uncertainty in their eyes.

And the words of the fifth child continued:

"However, two of the forces you just discussed are missing."

Speaking of which,

The fifth child pointed to the dome and clicked on it.

Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone present knew what Lao Wu was talking about.

Xiangguo Mansion, Dayan Royal Family.

in the dead silence,

The fifth child sighed, stood up and looked at the Sovereign of Vientiane, and bowed solemnly:

"Sovereign, Wen Lin implores to implement the worst plan immediately"

"boom!"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a muffled sound, smoke and dust billowed everywhere, and a big crack opened in the special material palace floor.

Then,

The old man sitting first on the left stood up:

"Xia Wenlin, we have no leaks, no real evidence, even the current emperor dare not touch us."

The sect is loose, but if one wants to slaughter a sect on the grounds of a trumped-up charge, it will cause collective resistance.

Because if they don't resist, it may be their turn next.

Zongmen knows this better than anyone else.

Speaking of which,

The old man stared closely at Xia Wenlin who was bowing and saluting:

"Head up, do you know what the worst is?"

The fifth child slowly raised his eyes and his face remained unchanged:

"of course I know."

Worst case scenario, set off a rebellion.

But everyone knows that the result of the rebellion is a death sentence, after all, the example of Xuan Qingzong is still there.

No one would think that they could do better than Xuan Qingzong.

They could only abandon everything in the territory of Dayan, use the lives of the outer disciples to delay time, and try to transfer the core disciples to the Wanxing Mountain Range.

But the preparations for this kind of thing will involve a lot of movement, the preparation of materials, the transfer of personnel, and the sale of the property. It is impossible to hide the big moves of this level from those who are interested.

In other words,

Once this has started, there is no going back.

After a pause, the voice of the fifth child was calm:

"And Great Elder, we have something to leak."

"What?" The Great Elder frowned.

"The three of Ji Wencheng have not received any news so far."

"If they can't do anything, they will kill themselves."

"What if you never succeed?"

"."

The source of Qi surged around the Great Elder, and the surrounding air was deformed faintly under the pressure:

"The three of them have each other's fate, and they can't do anything. As long as one of them thinks about it, he can help the other two to commit suicide. Even the second-rank Yuanchu is not sure to cure them at the same time. Are you trying to say that there is just a person who is strong? The person happened to appear near Shengshan County?"

The fifth child was not affected by it, and continued:

"There are too many means in this world. The art of ecstasy, poison, illusion, and special Dao aggregates can all achieve this goal."

The Great Elder sighed, and his tone softened a little:

"Xiao Wu, the chances of the things you mentioned are so small that they can't be counted. We can't gamble just because of such things."

The fifth child clenched his fists slightly and looked at the elder with extremely complicated eyes:

"Elder, it's not a gamble, it's too quiet"

"What?" There was some doubt in the eyes of the Great Elder.

Speaking of this, Lao Wu's body trembled slightly due to tension:

"Elder Elder, have you ever fallen into the sea?"

"." The Great Elder frowned.

The fifth child smiled and sighed:

"I used to go to sea when I was a child. I fell into the sea from a boat. It was so dark that I couldn't breathe, and the only sound in my ears was the sound of water."

Speaking of this, Lao Wu sighed, very helpless:

"Now the Zongwei I'm in charge of is just like me at the beginning, falling into the sea, and can't hear any useful sounds.

"Only, gurgling noises.

"I really hope that this sea is really the sea, not a pond built for us by others."

"But it was too quiet.

"No one went to Shengshan County to investigate, no one came to Vientiane City to investigate, not even...no one came to visit our Vientiane Sect, which is the most suspected."

There was silence.

in silence,

The Sovereign of Vientiane asked in a low voice:

"Why didn't you report this matter earlier?"

The fifth child raised his head slightly, looked at the pitch-black dome, and let out a long breath:

"Sovereign, it takes time to transmit information, it takes time for people to rush, and it takes time to confirm the summary of information."

With that said, Lao Wu raised a finger:

"However, after realizing this, I sent a lot of eagle riders to investigate around Vientiane City. Do you know what the results I received today?

"Some came back, some didn't.

"The suzerain, the East of Vientiane City, has now become a restricted area."

The fifth child withdrew his fingers, and gave a low laugh with a trill:

"It's really, really quiet."

words fall,

The drifting clouds and mists covered the sunlight, and the hall was instantly as silent and dark as the bottom of the sea.

No one agreed with it, but also no one refuted Xia Wenlin's proposal.

I do not know how long it has been,

The darkness remained, but the silence was broken by the cry of an eagle, and then, a mighty voice spread throughout the entire sect:

"Sect Master of Vientiane, come out and say something."

Ask for a monthly pass
