This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

Dozens of miles away from the imperial capital, there is an endless series of mountains, and this mountain is exactly where the Yunlan Sect is located, Yunlan Mountain.

This place has always been regarded as a holy place by the people of the Gama Empire. Even the imperial army only dared to station nearby and would not get too close.

But some recent events have slightly changed the reputation of the Yunlan Sect in the hearts of the people of the Jiama Empire - of course, this is only temporary.

After all, memory has a forgetting curve. For most people, these things will be forgotten in due course. But at least during this period of time, some people can't sit still.

In a meeting room of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Lei was staring at Yun Zhen who was kneeling in front of him.

"You said you were acquitted?"

"Yes, they said that Yun Che had confessed, so they released his subordinates without charge."

"So you came back just like that?" Yun Lei took a sip of tea, his tone filled with anger, "I had high hopes for you, but not only did you fail at the critical moment, you were also thrown into jail!"

Yun Zhen secretly complained in his heart, I can't do anything, who knew that Xu Yan was such a monster, I hid myself perfectly, but I was discovered before I even made a move. What he didn't know was that if Void Devouring Flame hadn't been interested in killing people casually, he would have been killed long ago.

"Yes...it's my subordinates' fault! But Elder Yunlei, if it weren't for Xu Yan, I would have killed Nagat without anyone knowing!" Yun Zhen said indignantly.

"Xu Yan! Xu Yan! It's this Xu Yan again!" Yun Lei got angry when he heard the name. In a rage, with a "crack", the cup was crushed into powder.

【Cup: It’s me again】

"That's enough. It's already happened. There's no point in you getting angry here."

A figure in a white robe walked into the meeting room. Yun Lei, who was still angry just now, immediately put away his anger after seeing the figure in the white robe. Instead, he looked a little frightened: "Grand...Grand Elder."

The figure in white robe is none other than Yun Lan Sect’s current great elder, Yun Leng.

[Author's comment: I don't know why, but many people mistake his name for "Yun Ling"]

Yun Lei's face was covered with sweat, his eyes darted left and right, trying to find an excuse to exonerate himself. Yun Zhen even lowered his head and knelt on the ground, just like Kenzaki Ichima's "kneeling on the frozen ground".

Yun Leng didn't care about their reactions, but said, "Yun Zhen, tell me the whole story, don't hide or omit anything."

"Yes. Elder Yunlei told us that we had a mission..."

Yun Leng frowned and said, "You can skip this part and get to the point."

"At that time, I went to the bell tower in the Holy City of Gama, which is the best shooting spot. When I went up there, I confirmed again and again that there was no one there, so I started to assemble the precision crossbow. As soon as I finished assembling it, that Xu Yan appeared. My first reaction was to retreat, but he knocked me out. When I woke up, they had already locked me up."

"After that, I was sent to prison. Because of the help from our Yunlan Sect, I was not subjected to any substantial torture. However, I don't know about Yunche's situation."

"I thought I would be locked up for a while longer, but I didn't expect them to suddenly tell me that they were going to release me without charge. However, they didn't release Yun Che. They said they were going to transfer Yun Che to another prison, and that someone of a higher rank would be in charge."

“Hmm…” Yun Leng seemed to be thinking about something, and winked at Yun Lei. Yun Lei immediately understood and shouted at Yun Zhen, “I’ve already said it all, why are you still standing here? Get out! I’ll talk to you later!”

"Yes, yes." Yun Zhen felt as if he had been pardoned. He jumped up and ran towards the door. Before running out, he did not forget to close the door.

"Great Elder, you look at this matter..." Unlike his ferociousness when he scolded Yun Zhen, Yun Lei had a bitter look on his face when facing the Great Elder. Although he was the one who assigned the tasks, it was actually Great Elder Yun Leng who initially set the goal to eliminate Gat.

"Forget it, it's not your fault." Yun Leng did not get angry on the spot. After all, who could have expected such a situation where Cheng Yaojin would appear out of nowhere.

"The problem now is that, according to Yun Zhen, they are going to transfer Yun Che to another prison, and someone of a higher level will take over. So, Yun Che, that guy, may have betrayed us." Yun Leng digested Yun Zhen's previous narration and came to a conclusion.

"Then what should we do next?" Yun Lei was of course very worried. Although the Yunlan Sect was not afraid of the Jia Ma royal family, if the royal family took advantage of the situation, they could not really turn the table with the royal family. After all, they were not in the right in the first place.

“Humph, it’s very simple.” Yun Leng sneered, “The biggest variable now lies with Yun Che. If they want to transfer Yun Che away, it means they still need Yun Che as a witness for the time being. So, what if this witness can’t speak…”

Yun Leng didn't continue speaking, but Yun Lei had already guessed what he wanted to say.

"You mean... we just need to kill Yun Che before he is transferred to a higher-ranking royal family member to confess?"

There was a hint of worry in Yun Lei's words.

Yun Leng was a little unhappy: "Why? Are you being kindhearted and worrying about that kid's life?"

“No! Not at all!” Yun Lei immediately shook his head. Although Yun Che was an inner sect disciple, there were many inner sect disciples in the Yunlan Sect. He and Yun Che were not related at all, so how could he have any sympathy for him? “What I’m worried about is what will happen to the Sect Master? If she finds out about what I did…”

Yun Leng interrupted directly: "Why are you so timid? Now that things have happened, we should solve them as soon as possible. Besides, if there is no witness, we will insist that it has nothing to do with us, and she will have no choice. Even if she really knows, what can she do to us? Will she kill us? At most, she will cut off our money for a few months or put us in solitary confinement for a period of time. Don't forget that the people in the Law Enforcement Hall are all our people."

"What the Great Elder said is absolutely right!" Yun Lei was delighted.

"During this period, let our people working in the prison pay more attention and inform us immediately if there is any situation."

"Yes!"

"And Xu Yan is also a problem. Yun Lei, find a way to check his background and see if he has anything you can use to threaten him."

Yun Leng's face was grim. "It would be fine if he knows what to do. But if he still wants to go against us, don't blame us for being merciless."

If Void Devouring Flame heard what they said at this moment, I'm afraid he would just laugh. You still want to threaten me? Who gave you the courage?
