Evil Master and Disciple

Yunhai Sect, back mountain.

Ancestral Hall.

Outside, there was a violent storm like the end of the world, but inside the ancestral hall, it was very quiet. The door of the hall was wide open, but the wind and rain outside did not affect the inside of the hall, and even the candlelight did not flicker.

The old man guarding the temple and the fat man Yulong sat cross-legged with calm expressions, while Xu Kai was tied up like a dead dog, lying on the ground in front of the altar.

Although Xu Kai's expression was relatively calm, the depths of his eyes were constantly changing with various expressions.

Fear, despair, confusion, entanglement, worry, regret, hesitation, frustration...

All kinds of emotions were revealed in his gradually vacant eyes.

If it were anyone else, Xu Kai would have already been subjected to the ten cruel tortures and severely tortured.

But Master Yulong had no intention of forcing a confession through torture.

He asked Xu Kai when he took off his face veil, and then the fat man sat cross-legged on the cushion as if nothing had happened, closing his eyes and resting, with an expression that said, "This matter has nothing to do with me."

The old man guarding the temple was even more leisurely. He was like a petrified old sculpture, his eyelids not even moving.

Don't think he's sleeping.

At this moment, the old man was like a despicable thief sneaking around the wall, using his spiritual power to eavesdrop on what was happening in the bamboo building.

The conversation between the three women, Ye Feng raising a ghost girl, Ye Feng being beaten, Ye Feng being thrown out of the window...

The old man heard it all clearly and was very excited.

Xu Kai didn't know the old man guarding the temple, but he knew Master Yulong very well.

Even though Master Yulong is resting with his eyes closed, Xu Kai is sure that this Sixth Uncle will definitely not show leniency to him just because he is Yu Chenzi's disciple.

Master Yulong had said before that we should just wait until dawn.

If Xu Kai confesses before dawn, he can save his life.

If Xu Kai still keeps silent after daybreak, Master Yulong will escort him back to the Xingluo Peak Discipline Institute and hand him over to Yu Chenzi for handling.

Leaving it to Yu Chenzi would be much more effective than using the ten tortures on Xu Kai one after another.

Xu Kai's panicked mood gradually calmed down over time.

He began to sort out the context of the matter in his mind.

He didn't think that his Sixth Uncle would deceive him.

After all, it has been a long time since a disciple was punished to guard the tomb of the Bamboo Forest Ancestral Land, and the head master has been in seclusion for the past year or two.

He suddenly appeared more than a month ago and punished Ye Feng to be sent here.

Moreover, there have always been many masters protecting Ye Feng in secret.

If you say this is not a trap, who would believe it?

"The headmaster must have known that someone was absorbing the spiritual energy from the veins of Tianyun Mountain... but he didn't have many clues, or rather, he couldn't confirm the identity of the person absorbing the spiritual energy... so he used Ye Feng to set up this trap..."

This was the conclusion Xu Kai finally came to, and he believed it was the only explanation.

But this made Xu Kai even more desperate.

Xu Kai wanted to die, but he didn't have the chance to commit suicide again.

He couldn't imagine what he would face in the future.

Time passed bit by bit, and after two hours, the wind and rain finally began to weaken, and Xu Kai's heart gradually sank as the wind and rain subsided.

He knew that his fate was about to be judged.

Master Yulong's silence frightened him.

The approach of dawn frightened him.

Thinking of the sect master's thundering methods made him even more terrified.

At this moment, Xu Kai's heart was filled with fear.

My heart was beating violently with fear.

Feeling that the wind and rain outside had subsided, Ye Feng opened the door of the tobacco curing room.

At this moment, the mountains and forests outside have almost turned into a swamp. Such heavy rainfall in a short period of time has caused a lot of water to accumulate.

However, the bamboo forest and the ancestral hall are located at a relatively higher level.

The accumulated water on the ground is rapidly flowing towards the low-lying area in the direction of Luoxia Peak in the west, and will not accumulate into a mountain torrent here.

This drainage system that passes through the mountain and forest terrain was designed by the founder of the Yunhai Sect. Even if this rainstorm lasts for three days and three nights, it is almost impossible to flood the bamboo forest and the ancestral hall.

Ye Feng looked at the accumulated water on the ground flowing westward, and he felt a little worried.

To the west of the bamboo forest is the tobacco field planted by Yue Yinling.

I hope this heavy rain will not drown the yellow tobacco leaves.

Ye Feng planned to go over and take a look after dawn.

Yellow tobacco leaves are my spiritual food and cannot be destroyed by a storm!

The storm came suddenly and went away suddenly.

As the thunder subsided, the wind and rain quickly subsided.

Probably less than half a cup of tea later, the wind and rain completely stopped.

Ye Feng calculated the time by counting on his fingers. It should be four quarters past the hour of Yin, which is about four in the morning. There are still two hours until dawn.

Ye Feng couldn't help but look towards the ancestral temple in the south.

He had previously guessed from the magic sword left behind by the killer that the killer was most likely Xu Kai, the disciple of his fourth uncle.

This made Ye Feng's mind unable to calm down.

The original owner's murder was probably related to someone stealing his spiritual vein.

In the Yunhai Sect, this is equivalent to the serious crime of betraying one's teacher and ancestors, colluding with the devil, and stealing the skills of other sects. As the old man guarding the temple said, the person will most likely not survive.

Xu Kai is the disciple of Fourth Uncle, so Ye Feng couldn't help but wonder whether this matter was related to Fourth Uncle.

If the person behind this is really Fourth Uncle, then that would be bad.

Fourth Uncle is the chief elder of the Discipline Institute and has a huge influence on the Yunhai Sect.

Moreover, it is almost time for the Yunhai Sect's inner sect competition and the Lingshan Competition, which takes place every sixty years.

At this time, if the news spread that Yu Chenzi had stolen the spiritual energy from the earth's veins, it would have a huge impact on the reputation of the Yunhai Sect.

As the wind and rain completely stopped, the three women in the bamboo building also came down.

Ye Feng was seen standing in front of the bamboo house, touching his chin, staring blankly in the direction of the ancestral temple in the south.

An Nian said, "This kid didn't move at all. Could it be that we beat him silly?"

She actually just said it casually.

At this moment, after the three women came down, they couldn't help but look towards the direction of the ancestral hall.

They also knew that Fatty Yulong had brought the masked killer to the ancestral hall.

An Nian knew almost nothing about Ye Feng.

She also considered her friendship with Fu Jinghong, so she agreed to come to the bamboo forest to protect Ye Feng.

As for who wanted to kill Ye Feng and what Ye Feng had experienced, she didn't know before.

It was only in the bamboo building that we learned that Ye Feng had been buried more than three months ago.

The killer who appeared tonight should be the one who buried Ye Feng.

After Ye Feng was thrown out of the bamboo building by the two girls, An Nian asked Jin He what happened three months ago.

Jin He briefly told An Nian what he knew, and An Nian had a general understanding of the context of the matter.

Seeing Ye Feng still in a daze, An Nian walked to Ye Feng, crossed his arms over his chest, and then nudged Ye Feng with his arms.

He said, "Boy, you have lost your memory, don't you want to go to the ancestral hall to see who wants to kill you? And why do they want to kill you?"

Ye Feng glanced at her sideways and said, "I don't want to!"

An Nian said, "You're such a weird person. You have no interest in the identity of the person who wants to harm you. Well...actually, I'd really like to know. Why don't you go to the ancestral hall and take a peek, then come back and tell me."

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Senior Sister An, have you ever heard the saying that curiosity kills the cat... The less a person knows, the happier he lives; the more he knows, the faster he dies."

An Nian curled her lips.

Jin He then said, "An Nian, Ye Feng is right. There must be something else behind this. Otherwise, Master Yulong wouldn't have stopped Ye Feng from pulling off the man's veil in the bamboo forest.

We were all ordered to protect Ye Feng and catch the person who wanted to murder him. Now that this person has been caught, our work is done. The rest of the matters can be handled by the Discipline Institute.

Now that the storm has subsided, let's go back."

An Nian looked at Jin He meaningfully.

She nodded gently and said, "That's true. I guess the Discipline Institute will announce the results of this matter in the next few days."

Then she reached out and patted Ye Feng's shoulder, saying, "Young men don't know the value of Yuan Yang, but when they are old, they shed tears just looking at women. Boy, you are not yet an adult, so don't play around with female ghosts. You've drained your body at such a young age, what will you do in the future? After all, not every man is as gifted as your master, who can still make a dead tree bloom at the age of nearly 400 and have a daughter in his old age."

Without waiting for Ye Feng to speak, An Nian smiled and took off into the air, flying towards the Chiyun Peak in the south.

Ye Feng pointed at the light that was receding from An Nian and shouted, "I'm in good health! I'm not drained! No!"

Jin He was about to leave as well. He looked at Yun Shuang'er, who was dressed in white and looked a little tired, and said, "Junior Sister, let's go back too."

Yun Shuang'er slowly shook her head and said, "It will be dawn soon. I will go directly to Luoxia Peak to practice. Senior Sister, you should go back first."

Jin He knew that his junior sister was preparing for the inner sect examination recently and was practicing hard on Luoxia Peak every day.

She hummed and said, "Junior Sister, don't overwork yourself. You've already reached the Guiyuan Realm, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to get into the top ten."

The two girls said a few words, and Jin He reached out and patted Ye Feng on the back of the head.

"Ye Feng, we've caught the murderer for you. You don't have to live in fear anymore. But because of you, Junior Sister Shangguan's reputation has been damaged and she's made a huge sacrifice. You must thank her in the future."

Ye Feng had already learned from Yue Yinling yesterday what had happened recently on Xingluo Peak.

Shangguan Lan used her daughter's reputation to help Ye Feng lure out the killer.

Ye Feng grinned and said, "I heard from Senior Sister Yue that Senior Sister Shangguan's reputation was damaged because of me. After I am released from prison, I will ask her to marry me... I will repay Senior Sister Shangguan's kindness by promising myself to her!"

"I asked you to thank her, not to harm her. Well, I didn't say anything. I'm leaving..."

Jinhe also flew away into the air.

Ye Feng turned around and glanced at Yun Shuang'er.

He said angrily, "Shuang'er, why don't you leave? You stole the spiritual painting! You even accused me of taking advantage of you, and got me beaten up by my two senior sisters! What else do you want?"

Yun Shuang'er said, "You are so young and don't learn your lesson, shouldn't you be beaten?"

Ye Feng cried out in injustice, shouting, "I have nothing to do with that female ghost! I only found out tonight that it was Zhang Linghua!"

Yun Shuang'er stared at Ye Feng coldly and said, "What about you and Yue Yinling?"

"What?" Ye Feng was puzzled.

"Yue Yinling stayed in your room all night last night and left at dawn the next day. What did you do?"
