Evil Master and Disciple

Xingluo Peak, the headmaster's study.

late at night.

There were candles on in the study. Master Yun Yi, dressed in a dark green Taoist robe, sat behind a large desk, gently rubbing his forehead.

Dugu Changkong and Fu Jinghong stood with their hands hanging down.

What troubled Master Yun Yi was that these two good disciples had just reported to him the dispute over the Taoist name between Fatty Yulong's daughter Huang Ling'er and Fairy Yunmian's young disciple Miao Wanshu.

Now the undercurrent in the Yunhai Sect is surging and may erupt at any time.

At this point in time, because of a Taoist name, his two junior brothers and sisters started fighting again.

It really makes me worried.

The inner sect battle test has not yet ended. If there is any noise at this time, it will be a huge disgrace to the Yunhai Sect.

Shamatte Jinghong will naturally not miss any opportunity to attack Dugu Changkong.

He looked at Dugu Changkong with his single eye and said, "As far as I know, Junior Sister Ling'er's Taoist name was given by Senior Brother, right? Now that things have turned out like this, Senior Brother won't say a word?"

Dugu Changkong said slowly: "I was in charge of this matter. A few months ago, I heard that Master Yulong had returned from his travels and brought back a daughter, so I went to pay him a visit.

As for Ling'er's Daoist name, it was given to me by Uncle Yulong. After I returned to the Transmission Institute, I registered the name. I never thought that someone had actually registered this Daoist name."

Fu Jinghong laughed and said, "Jingshu is not an uncommon name. Didn't you check it out? Who would believe it?

What's more, the next day, the Transmission Institute sent someone to deliver the new identity card to Lotus Peak, and Master Yumian even made a fuss about it.

Senior Brother, although Jingshu's name was chosen by Senior Uncle Yulong, you definitely changed it privately knowing that Jingshu was a disciple of Senior Uncle Wu's disciple.

To take a step back, even if the eldest senior brother did not know about it in advance, he could have corrected the matter the next day when Senior Uncle Yumian made a scene in the Transmission Institute.

However, the eldest senior brother did not correct it in time, but confirmed that the Taoist name Jingshu belonged to Junior Sister Ling'er.

If the elder brother had corrected it in time, this wouldn't have happened today. I wonder why the elder brother did this? "

Dugu Changkong said calmly, "I can correct it, but everyone in the Yunhai Sect knows the temper of Martial Uncle Yulong. As a junior nephew, how can I go against Martial Uncle Yulong's wishes?"

Fu Jinghong asked, "Could it be that Senior Brother is only a junior of Martial Uncle Yulong, and not a junior of Martial Uncle Yumian?"

"I was negligent in this matter, but to be honest, even if I knew that Junior Sister Miao Wanshu's Taoist name was Wanshu, I would still do the same thing. I can choose the lesser of two options. I can offend Fifth Uncle, but I cannot offend Sixth Uncle."

"Haha, Big Brother is quite straightforward. He doesn't even pretend at this moment."

"Stop arguing. I've only been in seclusion for over a year, and you've already messed up the Yunhai Sect like this. How dare you argue with me? Get out of here."

Master Yun Yi finally spoke up and interrupted the argument between the two.

Dugu Changkong and Fu Jinghong immediately nodded slightly and lowered their heads.

Just as he was about to leave, Fu Jinghong said, "Master, how should we handle this matter? Please give us your instructions."

Master Yun Yi said, "Your Fifth Uncle didn't come to me, which means she will handle this matter on her own. Why should I worry about it? Let them decide whether to fight or make a scene. Just don't let anyone get killed."

Changkong and Jinghong were both stunned.

They didn't seem to have expected that the Master would not intend to intervene in this matter.

The two of them said nothing more, clasped their fists in greeting, and left Master Yun Yi's study.

After Dugu Changkong left, he gently closed the door.

He glanced at Fu Jinghong and said, "Such a big thing happened in the square today, but I haven't seen Junior Brother yet. I wonder what he was busy with during the day?"

Fu Jinghong smiled and said, "These are just some trivial matters in the Zhikeyuan. Senior Brother, don't worry about me. You should focus on thinking about how to settle the fight between the two senior brothers. If you don't handle this matter well, someone might even die."

Dugu Changkong laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, Junior Brother. Didn't Master say that since Fifth Uncle didn't come to Master to seek justice, then let the two Junior Uncles handle it themselves.

I was in charge of this matter, but they won't use me as a scapegoat."

"You seem quite confident. Fine, then I'll have to see how you can get out of this safely!"

After Fu Jinghong finished speaking, he walked towards his house under the starlight and moonlight.

Dugu Changkong narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Jinghong's broad back.

He hummed softly.

He muttered to himself, "Second Brother, you still don't understand Master's thoughts. Do you think Master will punish me for this? Master is most likely supporting me in this matter. You are too young to fight with me."

Then he turned and left too.

Inside the study, Master Yun Yi gently pinched his forehead a few times, then slowly said, "Who were the people who stood up for Fifth Sister's disciples in the square today?"

He seemed to be talking to himself, but also to someone.

But he was the only one in the study!

A moment later, in the shadow of the candlelight, a man wrapped in black clothes walked out, with only a pair of eyes showing.

The man seemed to merge with the darkness. No one knew when he was there, nor how long he had been lurking there.

Only part of the black-clothed man's body left the shadow, and half of his body was still merged with the darkness, which looked a bit weird.

The man in black nodded slightly, then said, "There are quite a few people, the main three are Chen Rui, a disciple of Yuncai, Shang Xin, a disciple of Yushu, and Fang Luoluo, a disciple of Yun'e.

During the subsequent confrontation, some young disciples joined in. The elders of these disciples were basically the same group of people who followed the eldest brother back then.

Master Yun Yi nodded slowly.

There was a cold murderous intent in his eyes.

"Over the years, I have worked diligently to govern the Yunhai Sect. In just two hundred years, the number of Yunhai Sect disciples has nearly doubled. Do they still not recognize my abilities?

Even if the eldest brother became the leader back then, could he have done as well as me? These people are just making small noises, and I will just turn a blind eye to their private complaints.

But they are becoming increasingly restless. I have been merciful enough to them. Looking back at the Yunhai Sect's 4,000-year history, the last time a leader was replaced was without bloodshed. I have not implicated them and have given them ample freedom, yet they are still unsatisfied. Do you really think I, Shen Lin, will not kill people?"

Shen Lin is the real secular name of Master Yun Yi.

The Yunhai Sect has a tradition that those under the age of two hundred are addressed by their real names. Once they are over two hundred years old, they are considered to be highly respected elders, and it is somewhat disrespectful to address them by their real names.

In addition to the elders who have married and had children, they also travel around the world under the name of their secular family.

Most bachelors over 200 years old, regardless of gender, are referred to by their Taoist names.

The masked man in black saw Master Yun Yi's increasingly gloomy gaze, but he didn't say anything, nor did he care.

He can appear in Master Yun Yi's study anytime and anywhere, and neither Dugu Changkong nor Fu Jinghong knows of his existence.

Because he is a shadow.

The highest person in charge of the three departments of Shadow Hall, in charge of the Shadow Department, the Hidden Shadow Department, and the Blood Shadow Department.

The last time Ye Feng met Uncle Yulin, he had seen someone from the Shadow Hall.

The three officials of Yingtang are only responsible to the head of the sect and are the most trusted people of all the successive leaders of Yunhai Sect.

Not only is he responsible for monitoring the world, but he is also responsible for monitoring all matters big and small within the sect.

Even do some dirty work.

After a moment, Master Yun Yi asked, "What was the reaction from Old Five and Old Six today?"

The man in black said, “Fairy Yumian is just like usual, she did not make any moves after returning to Lotus Peak.

As for Senior Brother Yulong… He was drinking and admiring the moon with Yunyu, Shouchi, and several other fairies on the Moon Viewing Terrace tonight, writing under the moonlight with Ye Feng's Confucian brush. Their cultivation was too high for Shadow to approach, but… Senior Brother Yulong's obscene laughter was heard from far away. He must be very happy tonight and didn't seem to be affected by this incident.

Master Yun Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Ah, among all of us fellow disciples, it's this Sixth Brother who lives the most comfortable life.

Since he wants to use this to cause trouble, let him do it. You notify Yin Ling to secretly protect Ye Feng and Ling Er and make sure they are both safe. If necessary... you can kill people.

The man in black nodded slowly and said, "I know what to do."

Master Yun Yi saw the man in black still standing there motionless.

Then he asked, "Is there anything else?"

The man in black said slowly, "The jade cicada that Hong Jiu used to secretly search for the spirit vein and the array's center somehow fell into Fu Jinghong's hands. Fu Jinghong is using that jade cicada today to search for the spirit vein and the array's center."

Master Yun Yi raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Jing Hong is quite capable. It seems that he has noticed that someone has stolen the spiritual veins. I really underestimated him.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late, and Changkong had already cut the line. He probably couldn't catch Changkong's flaw in this matter."

The man in black said, "Master, it seems that there are more than one group of people stealing spiritual veins."

Master Yun Yi's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "More than one group of people?"

"Well, the list of names Xu Kai gave out has been monitored by the Shadow Division. Dugu Changkong's men did indeed interrupt the theft of spiritual veins shortly after Xu Kai's accident.

However, the spiritual veins of Tianyun Mountain are still slowly dissipating, and there are definitely people stealing them in secret.

And today... the disciples of the Shadow Division discovered a spirit beast."

"what!"

Master Yun Yi could no longer remain calm and stood up suddenly.

"Earth Spirit Beast? Appeared in Tianyun Mountain? Are you sure?"

"Yes, he has been killed and his body has been sent to the Sword Pond."

Master Yun Yi certainly knew what the appearance of the earth spirit beast on the surface meant.

This shows that the underground spiritual veins of Tianyun Mountain have been severely damaged, which is why earth spirit beasts have entered the surface.

Master Yun Yi's face darkened as he slowly said, "That's where the Earth Spirit Beast was found."

"Three hundred miles south of Xingluo Peak. According to my speculation, the place where Dugu Changkong and his men stole the spiritual veins was within a hundred miles of Xingluo Peak, mainly absorbing the spiritual energy from the center of the mountain protection formation.

There is another group of people who are very secretive. They steal the spiritual veins from a place far away from Xingluo Peak. They mainly absorb the connection point between the spiritual vein and the surface, rather than the center of our Yunhai Sect's magic array."

Master Yun Yi's expression changed instantly, and he punched the desk in front of him hard.

"This is outrageous! These people are so audacious! The underground spiritual veins of the Tianyun Mountains are related to the rise and fall of our Yunhai Sect. They are trying to dig up the Yunhai Sect's ancestral tombs!"

The level of spiritual energy directly determines the strength of a sect.

The more spiritual energy one has, the faster the disciple will progress in cultivation.

Once too much spiritual energy from the earth's veins is stolen, not only will a large number of creatures from the underground world enter the surface, but the progress of human cultivators on the surface who rely on absorbing spiritual energy to practice will also become very slow.

Now the earth spirit beast has run to the surface. God knows how big a change has happened to the underground spirit veins.

"Did those guys do it?"

"The place where the earth spirit beast appeared is quite far from the core area of ​​Yunhai Sect. For the time being, there is no way to confirm whether these people who stole the spirit veins were our Yunhai Sect disciples, or other sects or independent cultivators in Tianyun Mountain."

"Investigate! Mobilize all shadows and investigate as quickly as possible. This matter cannot be delayed."

"clear."

After the man in black finished speaking, he slowly blended into the dark shadows and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
