Evil Master and Disciple

Ye Feng did not tell his peers that he had been killed and his body thrown into a mass grave.

Be it the Beast Spirit Academy, the Discipline Academy, or even his own master, they all kept a low profile on this matter.

Ye Feng is not a fool either.

Naturally, I know that this matter should not be publicized.

Besides, he didn't want to implicate Fang Tong and other good friends of the original owner.

However, he still had to conduct a secret investigation.

The old cellmate said that he was not forced to be exiled to the medicine garden, but to steal those magical herbs and fungi for someone.

However, he never mentioned to his old cellmate who he stole it for.

In Ye Feng's opinion, this person should be the murderer who killed the original owner.

Fang Tong and the other two were the original owner's best friends. Perhaps the original owner told them for whom he went to the medicine garden.

After considering his words for a while, Ye Feng asked, "Fang Tong, I have something to ask you."

"Brother Feng, go ahead."

"I can't recall many of my memories, and some are very vague. I just remember that I deliberately made mistakes and got myself punished in the herb garden in order to steal some magical herbs and Ganoderma lucidum for someone. Do you know who this is?"

"Senior Sister Xiaorou, how come, Boss, you forgot about Senior Sister Xiaorou?"

"Senior Sister Xiaorou? Which Xiaorou?"

Ye Feng was delighted.

It turns out that the original owner and Fang Tong and others are really good friends who can talk about anything, and he even told them this kind of thing.

Fang Tongdao said, "Senior Sister Xiaorou is the master's disciple. She is your goddess! You have been pursuing her all along!"

"Miao Xiaorou?" Ye Feng understood.

He now has a general understanding of the Yunhai Sect, and knows the names of some elders and young elite disciples by heart.

There are seven disciples under the master, Master Yun Yi. Miao Xiaorou is the youngest and also the only female disciple under Master Yun Yi.

She is very beautiful and has a very high talent for cultivation.

Together with Yun Shuang'er, a disciple of Yuying Zhenren from Mozhuxuan, and Yue Yinling, a disciple of Shouxun Taoist, the chief elder of Chiyun Peak, they are known as the Three Fairies of Yunhai.

Ye Feng's expression gradually became heavy.

The old cellmate guessed right. He had indeed stolen the magical herb Ganoderma lucidum for a woman.

So, it was Miao Xiaorou who killed the original owner?

If it was any other female disciple, it would be fine, but Miao Xiaorou's identity is very special. She is the inner disciple of the master.

Without solid evidence, Ye Feng would never have come to such a conclusion so easily.

He gradually calmed down his inner shock.

He asked Fang Tong again, "Miao Xiaorou is the true disciple of the head master. She can get whatever she wants. Why would I help her steal the magical herb Ganoderma lucidum?"

Fang Tong shrugged and said, "Next year is the Jiazi Year. Senior Sister Xiaorou must be preparing for the Yunhai Competition in half a year and the Lingshan Competition next year."

"Jia Zi Year? Cloud Sea Competition? Spirit Mountain Duel?"

Ye Feng was a little confused when he first heard it, but gradually he understood.

This matter started more than two thousand years ago. At that time, the entire cultivation landscape of the world was not what it is now.

The Demonic Cult has only one major sect called the Tianyue Sect.

The only three powerful sects in the righteous path are Yunhai Sect, Lingtai Temple, and Xuanzhen Sect.

About two thousand four hundred years ago, a world-destroying war took place on earth.

At that time, in the northern part of Lingshan, a nine-story golden pagoda suddenly appeared out of thin air and hung in the air.

The pagoda emitted a ray of light, tearing through space, and a large number of immortals descended to the world.

In order to protect the human world, all the cultivators from various sects and masters from the immortal abodes were dispatched.

A battle lasted for thirty-seven days with the immortals near the pagoda.

That battle was known as the Battle of Hunting Immortals.

Because that year was the Jiazi year, it was also called the Jiazi Immortal Hunting Year.

The result of this battle was naturally a great victory for the human world.

However, many sects also declined because of this.

The Tianyue Sect split directly after this battle, forming the current six major factions of the Demon Sect.

On the righteous side, several sects also emerged, including the Jade Maiden Sect and the Chaotian Sect.

Although the human world won the battle to hunt immortals, the immortals from heaven were not willing to accept defeat and threatened to come back after sixty years.

In order to cope with the invasion of the heavens again, in the decades after the Immortal Hunting War, all factions in the world were extremely united, and the trend of cultivating Taoism reached an unprecedented peak.

In order to cultivate talents, the righteous and evil sects set a battle among their young disciples every sixty years, and the location was Liexian Peak in the north of Lingshan Mountain Range.

Before the immortal retreated, he said that he would come back after sixty years. This should just be a harsh remark made by a loser.

Nearly forty years have passed, and even today, more than two thousand years later, they have not appeared.

However, the Lingshan Fighting Competition, which takes place every sixty years, has been preserved to this day.

The Yunhai Sect would send ten young disciples to participate in the Lingshan Fighting Competition every year.

In the year before the Lingshan battle, that is, in September of the Guihai year, the year before the Jiazi year, a grand internal competition was held in the Yunhai Sect.

The top ten in this internal competition will participate in next year's Lingshan Fighting Competition to compete with the most outstanding young elite disciples from all the righteous and evil sects in the world.

Next year is the Jiazi year.

And in early September of this year, the Yunhai Sect will hold a major internal test.

Miao Xiaorou's cultivation is still far inferior to that of her sixth senior brother Lin Yi. It will be quite difficult for her to enter the top ten in this year's internal competition.

The magical herbs and Ganoderma lucidum that Ye Feng stole were indeed very useful to her.

Especially the four thousand-year-old immortal fungi, if used properly, can help her increase her skills by decades.

Ye Feng felt that this might be the real reason why he entered the medicine garden to steal the magical herbs and immortal fungus.

But was he really killed by Miao Xiaorou?

Since he has already obtained the magical herb Ganoderma lucidum, why would he kill himself to silence him?

Not to mention that he might not betray her.

Just saying that she was the master's inner disciple, even if all the disciples of the Yunhai Sect knew that these lost magical herbs and Ganoderma lucidum had entered her stomach.

Given her status and position, will she be severely punished?

Obviously not.

Since Miao Xiaorou knew very well that those spiritual herbs and immortal fungi did not have much impact on her, why did she still take the risk of killing the original owner and disposing of the body?

You know, Ye Feng is not an unknown person.

He is the only disciple of Master Yulong.

Master Yulong will never give up on tracking down the murderer easily.

Killing Ye Feng to silence him is obviously not in line with common sense.

Seeing Ye Feng speechless, Fang Tong said, "Boss, I advise you to give up. Senior Sister Xiaorou has been ignoring you all these years. She doesn't even think highly of you! Don't waste your time on her anymore! The forest is so big, why do you have to hang yourself on a tree?"

"How come the original owner is a bootlicker like me? Wait... he is a bootlicker, I am not a bootlicker! No!" Ye Feng muttered to himself in his heart.

After coming back to his senses, he shook his head and said, "I'm not thinking about Senior Sister Xiaorou, but I'm considering whether to go to the Sword Tomb tomorrow to choose a fairy sword."

Zhuge Benlei frowned and said, "Boss, all the higher-grade immortal swords in the sword tomb were picked up eight hundred years ago. What's left is just garbage. Why are you going there to choose immortal swords?"

Ye Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Now that I have reached the realm of flying in the sky, I naturally need an immortal sword. I also know that the sword tomb contains only rubbish immortal swords, but what can I do?

My master didn't have any extra magic swords to give me, so he told me to wait for a while.

How about the three of you come together to build me a peerless divine sword?"

The three of them immediately shook their heads like poodles.

Fang Tong laughed dryly and said, "Boss, don't you know what kind of people we are? We love gambling and always lose. Over the years, we've almost lost everything. How can we have an extra sword to give you? Tomorrow, we will accompany you to the sword tomb to look for the sword. Is that okay?"

Ye Feng wanted to refuse.

He wanted to reform himself and start a new life. He didn't want to be associated with these three scumbags anymore.

But then he thought again, he was an unfamiliar person in the place and seemed to have no idea where the sword tomb was.

Having these three local thugs accompany me to the sword tomb can save me a lot of trouble.

The most important thing is that with so many of them together, the murderer hiding in the dark would not dare to act rashly.

He nodded and said, "Okay. Tomorrow morning, Master and I will go to Mozhuxuan to apologize to Senior Sister Yun. After this matter is settled, we will go to the Sword Tomb together."

As they were talking, six young men and women, carrying magic swords on their backs, passed by the bluestone path next to the stone pavilion.

Seeing Ye Feng and the others, the handsome young man in the lead said with a smile: "Haha, aren't these the Four Hegemons of Yunhai? Oh, Junior Brother Ye is here too.

It's been a while since I've seen the four of you together. It's almost dark, why haven't you gone back for dinner yet? Are you planning something bad again?

Fang Tong sat on a stone bench, crossed his legs, and said, "I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Senior Brother Chen Shuwen. It's not your turn as a small fry to interfere in the affairs of the Four Hegemons of Yunhai. Go away and don't disturb us from enjoying the beautiful and glorious sunset."

The young man named Chen Shuwen and several of his companions behind him burst into laughter.

Chen Shuwen laughed and said, "Fang Tong, the four of you combined can't even read a single word, and yet you're trying to imitate others' pretentiousness and admire the sunset. Do you have the artistic blood in you?"

Be careful, don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will make you four bullies suffer the consequences just like last time!"

Fang Tong, Zhuge Benlei and Qi Yao stood up and slammed the table.

Qi Yao shouted, "Chen Shuwen, last time our boss was away, you took advantage of us. Now that our boss is back, let's fight again!"

Chen Shuwen smiled and said, "Okay, I've been feeling itchy lately, so today I'm going to teach you, the troublemakers of the Yunhai Sect, a lesson!"

"Who are you calling a troublemaker? Don't think we're afraid of you just because you're in numbers! Go ahead!"

Although Zhuge Benlei looks sick, he has an extremely hot temper.

Roll up your sleeves and rush forward.

But Huang Ling'er stopped him: "Stop fighting!"

Zhuge Benlei said, "Junior Sister Ling'er, please stay away. Today, I will let you see the methods of your brother Zhuge!"
