Evil Master and Disciple

The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month in the year of Guihai.

New year.

Not yet.

The sun has just passed its zenith. Perhaps spring will come tomorrow. The warmth of the sun seems to imply that all things that have been silent for a winter are beginning to revive.

In Zhang Qingyun's small courtyard in Kanglefang, Ling Yunzhi was reporting the situation to several big guys with his head down and brows lowered, nodding and bowing.

Because of his fawning look, even the gray-haired monkey raised by Zhang Qingyun looked at him with contempt, not to mention his junior sister Miss Qin Ying standing next to him.

Miss Qin Ying couldn't understand why the young master of Qingyun Pavilion would be so fawning to the two old men in front of her?

The content of Ling Yunzhi's report was very disorganized. He first talked about how they fought against three masters of the Demon Cult outside the capital last night and stole the Jade Dial.

Then he started talking about the situation in the capital.

Ling Yunzhi gave a detailed report on everything from the cultivators of various sects who rushed to the capital, to the losses the capital suffered in the battle last night, to the attitudes of various sects towards the affairs of the capital, etc.

There is no other way, because Qingyun Pavilion's intelligence network is spread all over Jiuzhou. Even many people in the major sects provide intelligence to Qingyun Pavilion, which allows Qingyun Pavilion to grasp every move of the entire world at the first time.

After the report was completed, Dugu Chan asked, "What's the reaction from the Jade Maiden Sect?"

Ling Yunzhi smiled and said, "In reply to Senior Dugu, there was indeed some movement in the Jade Maiden Sect last night, and they gathered a lot of inner disciples and elders. However, Fairy Mengchu quickly withdrew all the disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect back to the Jade Maiden Peak, and only secretly expelled hundreds of masters from the Jade Maiden Sect.

As for where this group of experts went, and whether they were heading towards the capital, there is no news yet."

Zhang Qingyun glanced at Dugu Chan and said, "Old Chan, are you worried that the Jade Maiden Sect will retaliate against the Yunhai Sect?"

Dugu Chan nodded silently and said, "I do have this worry. The Jade Maiden Sect is a major righteous sect in the human world. Although its overall strength is not as strong as the Yunhai Sect, the difference is not that big.

The Jade Maiden Sect was the first to know that the Yunhai Sect was responsible for the incident in the capital this time. If the two sects were to clash, it would be no joke."

Zhang Qingyun laughed and said, "Old Chan, you are a martial arts fanatic. No one can match you in terms of cultivation from ancient times to the present.

But when it comes to handling things, you're a little bit lacking.

So much time has passed since the incident. If the Yun Hai Sect really wanted to take action, the news that the Yun Hai Sect attacked their stronghold in the capital and kidnapped the Yun Hai Sect's future leader Chu Liunian would have spread among the people long ago.

Fairy Mengchu gathered tens of thousands of disciples from the Jade Maiden Sect last night, but did not take any action. This is very telling.

If only the Yunhai Sect took action last night, the Yunu Sect might have made a big deal out of it.

However, Buddhism was also involved in this matter, and the two great monks Xuankong and Xuanjing were present in person.

In addition, you defeated Li Ruoxi, Jinghui Shenni and Xuanjizi outside the city by yourself.

Li Ruoxi is not a reckless person. She may dare to declare a full-scale war with the Yunhai Sect, but she will never dare to declare war on the Yunhai Sect and Lingtai Temple at the same time.

Although Qingyun Pavilion did not have a complete grasp of the power she had secretly cultivated, it had a general understanding of it.

With Li Ruoxi's current strength, she is still far from being able to challenge Yunhai Sect and Lingtai Temple alone.

What Li Ruoxi wants now is not to save face, but to preserve as much as possible the power she has painstakingly built up over the years, so as to avoid being wiped out.

Just wait and see. The Yunv Sect will never tell anyone that Chu Liunian was captured by the Yunhai Sect, nor will they tell anyone that the Yunhai Sect and Lingtai Temple have joined forces to attack their stronghold in the capital."

Zhang Qingyun saw through this matter very clearly.

In just a few words, he explained the current situation of the Jade Maiden Sect.

Just like the civil strife in Yunhai Sect, Master Yun Yi knew clearly that the culprit of the civil strife in Yunhai Sect was Yunu Sect, and he also knew that Yunu Sect’s disciples had once maskedly attacked Tu Qianchi and others in the valley outside Cave No. 1.

However, Master Yun Yi did not mention the Yunu Sect at all in the announcement released to the public, and suffered a loss in silence.

The Yunu Sect is facing the same situation now.

If what happened in the capital last night were to be made public, most of the righteous cultivators in the world would not stand on the side of the Jade Maiden Sect. Instead, the unspeakable things that the Jade Maiden Sect has done over the years would be made public.

All the Yunu Sect can do now is to swallow the broken teeth and blood to avoid letting outsiders see that their teeth are broken.

Dugu Chan tilted his head and looked at Zhang Qingyun, who looked very proud, and said, "You seem to know a lot about the Jade Maiden Sect."

Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, "I don't know about the Jade Maiden Sect, but I know Li Ruoxi. Lao Chan, don't worry about the Jade Maiden Sect. Let's just imagine that Ye Feng and Li Ruoxi meet at the Stargazing Tower tonight."

Li Ruoxi would never give up returning to Earth easily. Since she was very sure that Ye Feng was the chosen one in the prophecy, then Ye Feng could really help her find the way home.

If all else fails, you can just stab her to death tonight. She can’t beat you anyway.”

"Qingyun, Li Ruoxi is your wife after all. You have been together for hundreds of years. There is no need for you to be so heartless, right?

If the reconnection of the two worlds is inevitable, the direction of history, and the general trend, then whether I kill Li Ruoxi or not, the result will not change.

You are also at the Heaven's End Realm of cultivation. You should understand that the general trend is irreversible, and that following the natural course of things is the way of the universe."

Zhang Qingyun looked at Dugu Chan and sighed softly.

"Old Chan, I just don't want to see the lives of the two worlds suffer."

"Is it really just that?"

Dugu Chan stared at Zhang Qingyun's cheek, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be able to see through Zhang Qingyun's heart.

Zhang Qingyun smiled awkwardly and turned his head to the side, not letting Dugu Chan look into his eyes. He also didn't dare to look into Dugu Chan's eyes, seeming to feel a little guilty.

The courtyard fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Ying went over to open the courtyard door.

I saw Lu Yunshi and Eunuch Luan standing outside the courtyard gate.

Eunuch Luan looked completely different from usual. He was not wearing eunuch attire, but a green robe, a felt hat on his head, and a fake beard on his mouth and chin.

With this big belly and short beard, who dares to say that he is a eunuch without a penis?

Of course, if he didn't pinch his fingers like an orchid, perhaps the effect of the outfit would be better.

When he pinched the flower with his finger, his whole body was filled with anger, giving people the impression that the middle-aged fat uncle was a sissy.

Lu Yunshi led Eunuch Luan into the courtyard. He bowed slightly to Dugu Chan and Zhang Qingyun in the courtyard and said, "I greet Senior Sword God and Senior Qingyun. Eh, why don't you see Senior Xiaoli?"
