Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Madam Wu Ji committed suicide. After talking to Gong Ziyu, she slit her throat alone at night. The next day, Gong Ziyu realized that Madam Wu Ji was conveying her last wish and fell to the ground crying. While Elder Yue admired his loyalty, Elder Hua was somewhat dissatisfied with his weakness.

Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng directly reported what happened in the past two days to the Council of Elders. Elder Yue was obviously frozen for a moment when he heard that two years ago, the assassin sent by Wufeng colluded with the thief to obtain Baicao Cui, and used the corpse to pass Baicao Cui out, saving the life of Wufeng's leader Dianzhu.

Gong Yuanzheng was already dissatisfied with the elders' excessive partiality towards Gong Ziyu, so he had no respect for the elders at all. He saw Elder Yue's strangeness completely, and combined with the assassin's experience of being sent to the Moon Palace to be a medicine man, he directly exposed the matter in the Elders' Council:

"When the assassin was sent to the Moon Palace, he was already dying, so he didn't have the ability to steal the Hundred Herbs from the Zheng Palace. The assassin was declared dead in the Moon Palace, and his body was sent directly from the Moon Palace to the front to be hung for public display. If you say that the Moon Palace didn't make any mistakes, I, the Zheng Palace, don't believe it!"

Elder Xue and Elder Hua looked at Elder Yue in surprise. Gong Yuanzheng's words made sense. Although they all trusted Yue Gong, Yue Gong should really show her attitude regarding such a big matter.

Elder Yue felt a little embarrassed, but the one who made the mistake was his heir to the Moon Palace, so he could only helplessly reveal everything about the assassin in the Moon Palace: "My evil companion is the most compassionate to the poor and the weak. Seeing that the assassin was only a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, and was already dying, he felt some sympathy..."

What else is there to say next?

Gong Shangjiao said directly: "Elder Yue, why don't you just invite Master Yue to come to the Elders' Council? I want to ask, when the assassin was hung in the valley for public display, was he really dead?!"

Elder Yue was so angry that his face turned red, but there was nothing he could do.

If it was any other matter, he could certainly rely on his seniority and try to smooth things over, but this matter had escalated to the point where Yue Gong colluded with Wu Feng's assassin to steal the palace's secret medicine, Baicao Cui, and save Wu Feng's leader. He was not that thick-skinned, so he could only ask someone to call Master Yue in for questioning.

Master Yue was nearly thirty years old, but he looked like his father with his decadent appearance and two strands of white hair on his temples. Elder Xue softened a little when he saw him, but Elder Hua was always a stickler for rules and principles, so he couldn't wait to ask, "Master Yue, was the assassin who was sent to the Moon Palace as a medicine man really sent out after his death?"

The truth was revealed, and Master Yue was unable to control his expression in time, allowing a group of people to see through it. Elder Xue sighed repeatedly, not knowing what to say. Elder Yue was too embarrassed to look up with a guilty look on his face. Only Elder Hua shouted sternly: "Then do you know that she stole the Hundred Herbs and went out to rescue Wufeng's leader, causing the revenge of the orphan of Gushan Sect to fail?!"

Elder Hua was really filled with hatred. Ten years ago, Wufeng invaded and countless people were killed and injured in the front and back mountains, so the palace gate changed the rules. Not to mention the elders in the back mountain, even those who held swords were not allowed to go out and had to be trapped in the palace gate for the rest of their lives.

When people repeatedly mentioned his lover, Master Yue was so emotional that he told the whole story with hatred: he fell in love with the assassin, so he secretly decided to spend his life with her. Not only did he give his Hundred Herbs Extract to the assassin, he also used medicine to make her fake her death and leave the palace. However, he did not expect that his lover would never come back, so he thought that she died at the palace gate when he fought with Wufeng, and he felt some resentment towards the palace gate in his heart.

Elder Hua and Elder Yue nearly fainted from anger, and even Elder Xue felt that Young Master Yue's behavior was too ridiculous. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise the palace gate would have been in real danger.

But soon Gong Yuanzheng raised a question: "That Yun Weishan said that she had a little sister who died at the palace gate two years ago, but Master Yue said that the assassin died outside two years ago. If Wufeng didn't send out two assassins at the same time, then how could the same person die twice? And Yun Weishan said that her sister died because her head was shattered. I don't think Master Yue has the ability to pretend that his head was shattered."

Master Yue was confused, "So, Yun Que was killed by Wu Feng after returning to Wu Feng?"

Gong Yuanzheng laughed cheerfully and said, "That's probably the truth. After all, Wu Feng, who died in the palace gate, did die miserably, but no one had ever died as easily as someone whose head was shattered."

Who would have thought that a scandal involving collusion with Wu Feng would happen in the high and mighty Council of Elders? Gong Yuanzheng immediately proposed, "I propose to abolish Gong Ziyu's position as Blade Master and let my brother Gong Shangjiao become the Blade Master."

"After all, besides Yun Weishan, who is in love with Gong Ziyu, there is also Madam Wu Ji who has been lurking for twenty years and even raised him personally, and she is the famous Wuming."

"One time a month, the young master's heart was moved and the leader of Wufeng was saved by Baicaocui, which caused the revenge of the orphan of Gushan Sect to fail. Gong Ziyu is still the one holding the title of blade bearer. If something goes wrong, the palace sect will really perish in the hands of you elders."

Gong Ziyu wanted to retort, but in fact he couldn't say anything. It was true that the girl he loved, Yun Weishan, was Wu Feng's assassin. Even his aunt, Madam Wu Ji, who he had been close to since childhood, was also Wu Feng's assassin. He didn't even dare to think about whether Madam Wu Ji had passed on messages for Wu Feng in the past twenty years.

But Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng knew that Wuming must have passed on a lot of information for Wufeng. The palace's selection of a bride was one of them, and the collection of hundreds of herbs to cure all poisons was another. It was even very likely that the news of the infinite flowing fire had already been passed back to leader Wufeng by Wuming.

Therefore, the reason why Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian came in now was nothing more than drawing the cloud map and defense of the palace gate to make it easier for Wufeng to break in.

At this moment, the matter of wielding the blade was made clear by Gong Yuanzheng, and even Elder Xue could no longer protect Gong Ziyu. Elder Hua, Elder Yue and Elder Xue looked at each other and could only send Gong Ziyu and Gong Shangjiao to the back together. After using a secret method to stab the thing on Gong Ziyu's back into Gong Shangjiao's back, they completely washed off the tattoo on Gong Ziyu's back.

Only then did Gong Shangjiao understand why the palace had an absentee inheritance system. It turned out that it was because the tattoo of the Infinite Flowing Fire could only be preserved under the influence of blood and body temperature. After losing body temperature and blood, the tattoo could only be preserved for two hours at most. Once the time was missed, the Infinite Flowing Fire would be completely out of control. At that time, the palace would be the first to bear the brunt of the crisis of destruction, and it could even affect the entire world.
