Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever
Chapter 793 Intrigue
"Brother Wu, you're welcome. Wait a moment."
Zhou Yiqiao responded, then reached out and pressed on the token given by his master, dispelling the entire illusion and returning the room to its original appearance.
It was only last night that he opened the door to the courtyard and saw Wu Ning, whom he hadn't seen for many years and whose temperament had changed drastically.
Back then, Wu Ning had a rather gloomy and aloof temperament, but now he is gentle and elegant, looking like a handsome young man.
Not only that, but the cultivation level of the whole body has also reached the perfect state of Nascent Soul from the original golden elixir.
You know, Zhou Yiqiao's realm can improve so quickly, but he benefited from the two adventures in the Lianbo Mine and the Endless Sea!
"Brother Zhou, long time no see!"
The moment he saw Zhou Yiqiao, Wu Ning showed a smile on his face and bowed his hands in an extremely gentle manner.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't expect Brother Wu to become as gentle as jade. It made Zhou Yong unable to react for a while."
Zhou Yiqiao smiled and joked, then introduced the topic.
"Brother Wu said that he was summoned by the third elder. Is it because the forces that plotted against Zhou have their whereabouts?"
"good."
Wu Ning nodded, his expression getting colder.
"I came here this time to invite Brother Zhou to discuss it and ask him for his specific views on this matter."
"Oh? What this means is..."
Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyebrows with confusion in his eyes.
Wu Ning did not answer, but turned sideways.
"Brother Zhou will come as soon as he arrives. The sword-bearing elder and my father are waiting in the elder's hall. We must not delay."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward.
Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao followed closely, and soon arrived at the Elder's Hall.
"Meet the master, and meet the third elder."
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Zhou Yiqiao respectfully saluted the two powerful men.
"Yiqiao, excuse yourself quickly, stand up and sit down."
"Wu Ning does it too."
Somehow, Taoist White Bones changed his usual gloomy expression and greeted Zhou Yiqiao with a smile on his face.
After all, it was his master's invitation. It was impossible for Zhou Yiqiao not to show respect. Without asking for the specific reason, he and Wu Ning found a futon and sat in front of the two powerful men.
"Ahem, after all, I manage the aristocratic family faction, so I still have to say this matter."
Third Elder Wu Nanfeng stood up, cleared his throat and said.
"During this period, I and the sword-wielding elder personally went to the Xiahou family and the Mo family to interrogate, and indeed found some clues, proving that it was a certain force in my family's faction."
"However, this faction is not caused by members of the three major surnames, but by a vassal family named Liu family under the name of the Xiahou family."
When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, his first reaction was that it was false, but when he saw his master, Taoist White Bones, nodded repeatedly, he forcibly suppressed his thoughts of refutation and continued to listen to the nonsense of the third elder Wu Nanfeng.
"According to the servants of the Xiahou family, they found all the details of the plan to frame Nephew Zhou Xian from a side house in the Liu family's land."
"I and the sword-wielding elder personally went to examine it and found that it was indeed the case. There was no fraud."
"As for the person who planned all this, it was Liu Mi, the legitimate son of the head of the Liu family. This person has already confessed that he was deceived by the hateful barbarian tribe into using most of Yongzhou's resources after the matter was completed, and promised to help the barbarian tribe eliminate the difficult targets in the sect."
"And Nephew Zhou Xian's strength is well known among the younger generation, so Liu Mi has made you his first target in an attempt to let the barbarians see the strength of his Liu family."
Although the third elder's words were full of loopholes, Zhou Yiqiao still pretended to be suddenly enlightened and frowned.
"I see. I hope the Third Elder and Master can make the decision for this disciple!"
The third elder seemed to have been waiting for Zhou Yiqiao's words for a long time. Before Zhou Yiqiao could finish speaking, he took out a bloody cloth bag from the Najie in his hand and threw it to Zhou Yiqiao's knees.
The cloth bag rolled around Zhou Yiqiao's knees, revealing one of the young heads with eyes open!
"Here is the head of the thief Liu Mi. Is nephew Zhou Xian satisfied with it?"
Zhou Yiqiao didn't answer. He looked away from the head and looked up at his master, Taoist White Bones.
"What do you think, Master?"
Looking at his master's current appearance, he knew that the old man still had a backup plan, so he simply decided to close his eyes and give up thinking and follow the other person's advice. "
Seeing Zhou Yiqiao looking at him like this, Taoist White Bones couldn't help but touch his chin, still smiling and nodding.
"This is the result of the investigation between me and the third elder. There can be no mistake. Let's just do it like this."
Zhou Yiqiao nodded when he heard this.
"Since Master has said so, and the disciple has no objection, this matter has been revealed."
As soon as these words came out, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the side hall of the Elder's Hall.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yiqiao saw the sect leader Tuoba Qingshan leading all the elders where he had complained that day into the main hall.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yiqiao finally understood why his master behaved like this.
Although Tuoba Sect Master did enforce the law impartially, he was still the real leader of the demon clan after all. He had been hiding in the side hall until he never showed up, probably just to wait for Zhou Yiqiao's answer, so that he could use Zhou Yiqiao's answer as a reason to severely attack the aristocratic clan faction. A resource.
"The three major factions say they want to unite, but there are really a lot of little tricks."
Zhou Yiqiao secretly thought to himself that he was glad that he didn't have the guts to refute the third elder's investigation results and obeyed his master's instructions.
"Since Yiqiao is satisfied with the investigation results of the third elder and the sword-wielding elder, this matter is over."
"I hope everyone can take this Liu Mi as a warning and not do anything that goes against the interests of our Demon Sect."
Tuoba Sect Leader's face did not show the slightest bit of displeasure, as if he really came to seek justice for Zhou Yiqiao, and he took the lead in leaving the hall.
Although the rest of the elders had complaints in their hearts, they had to swallow their breath due to the apparent alliance between the three major factions.
After all the elders left, the third elder and the sword-bearing elder each breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yiqiao, you did a good job. You kept your composure and didn't ruin our plan in a moment of enthusiasm."
The smile on the sword-holding elder's face finally disappeared, and his old face once again regained its usual calm look.
"Yes, Nephew Zhou Xian has done a great favor to my family's faction."
The third elder also praised it very rarely.
"Master, Third Elder Miaozan, this disciple is a member of the family's faction no matter what, so he knows what's appropriate."
Zhou Yiqiao smiled modestly, and then thought of something again.
"I wonder if I, the disciple, know which family is the Xiahou family or the Mo family that is really plotting against me?"
Hearing this, the two powerful men looked at each other. Immediately, the third elder took action to completely seal the entire elder hall and spoke in a deep voice.
"It's the Xiahou family."
