Evil Master and Disciple

Xingluo Peak was much quieter today. Many external disciples chose to leave after the last battle of the day.

It is estimated that in the next three to five days, all the external disciples who came to watch the fight will leave.

It's strange that the Jade Maiden Sect hasn't left yet.

After the previous battles ended, the delegations from these major sects would leave Tianyun Mountain on the same day.

Today at Lingtai Temple, the delegations from Xuanzhen Sect and Chaotian Sect all left, except for the 400 people from Yunu Sect who chose to stay for a few more days.

The Yunhai Sect couldn't say anything about this situation. Everyone who came from afar was a guest. If they wanted to stay for a few more days and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tianyun Mountain, the host could only express their warm welcome.

In Master Yun Yi's study.

Master Yun Yi sat on the chair behind the desk, squinting his eyes as he looked at Fu Jinghong who was standing in front of the desk with his hands hanging down.

In front of others, Fu Jinghong is the high-spirited second senior brother of the Yunhai Sect, with the heroic spirit that can wipe out everything in the blink of an eye.

But in front of his master, Venerable Yun Yi, he was as honest as a giant quail in human form.

Master Yun Yi said, "Jinghong, do you know why I called you here alone tonight?"

"Know...disciple should know." Fu Jinghong answered in a low voice.

"Should? Tell me."

Fu Jinghong asked, "Is it about the Giant Tree Valley?"

"You're not that stupid."

Fu Jinghong smiled awkwardly.

"Since you knew about such a big thing, why didn't you report it to me immediately?"

Fu Jinghong thought, even if I didn’t report it, you knew about it, didn’t you?

Besides, how should he report it? Should he say that he was secretly investigating his senior brother's theft of Tianyun Mountain's earth veins and spiritual energy? Had he discovered his senior brother's brothel?

Seeing that Fu Jinghong didn't answer, Master Yun Yi said, "From what I understand, you should have a foolproof plan. How come that place has become a cave now?"

When Fu Jinghong heard this, his face instantly turned ugly, as if he had eaten fly poop.

Everything was going according to plan, but that night those people finally couldn't help but take action and lured his men away from the valley.

Next, we can observe secretly, and when the time is right, report to the master, and catch this group of people in one fell swoop, which will be a great achievement.

As a result, the people who were lurking in the dark watched helplessly as more than a dozen people entered the giant tree barrier.

As a result, in less than half an hour, people flew out one after another.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Fu Jinghong has been enduring it.

The day before yesterday, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and forcibly opened the tree hole barrier.

After entering, they found that there was no one inside, there were obvious signs of fighting, and some corpses were also found.

Through careful identification, the identities of four elders of the older generation of the Yunhai Sect and several young disciples were identified.

It was obvious that someone escaped from the tree hole that time because something big happened inside.

As for those hundreds of girls, not even a hair was found.

Only at the bottom of an abyss were piles of women's bodies found.

Many footprints were also found.

The footprints indicate that someone has taken a different route and entered the cave from the intricate underground world of the Tianyun Mountains.

Fu Jinghong sent people to track the footprints, but they only tracked them to the edge of an underground river and lost track of those people.

There are too many dark rivers in the underground world. In order to prevent his people from getting lost in them, Fu Jinghong had to give up tracking.

I originally thought that I would report to my master once everything was almost done, but it turned out to be such a mess.

Fu Jinghong regrets it.

If I had known this earlier, I would have reported it immediately.

Now those people are either dead or escaped, and nothing is left.

Fu Jinghong naturally didn't dare to report it.

But he knew his master's methods, and his master was probably aware of his little secret actions.

So Fu Jinghong did not hide anything today and just told the story of the Giant Tree Valley.

When Fu Jinghong heard his master talk about his big plan, he smiled bitterly.

He said: "Master, I... did have a plan, but I didn't expect that someone would use the underground world to get there first, thus alerting the enemy.

According to the disciples' investigation, at least several hundred people left the underworld barefoot."

Seeing that Fu Jinghong was still quite honest, Master Yun Yi had no need to get angry.

He could understand Fu Jinghong very well.

When he was competing with his eldest brother for the position of the head of the sect, he also did a lot of things in secret.

Master Yun Yi thought there was nothing wrong with Fu Jinghong's decision.

If it were me, I would plan it this way too.

The plan may succeed or it may fail.

It’s just that Fu Jinghong’s plan failed this time.

Master Yun Yi summoned Fu Jinghong here alone this time, not to use this matter to hold him accountable.

He said calmly, "Jinghong, do you know who secretly rescued those girls?"

Fu Jinghong said: "Based on the footprints in the underground world, these people have clear goals and are very familiar with the various passages in the complex underground world.

There were still the remains of four elders of the Yunhai Sect in the cave. They were all at the Heavenly Man Realm and were top-notch masters in the world, but they were killed cleanly and efficiently.

He is so familiar with the underground world and has such a high level of cultivation... I have pondered for two days and still can't think of a person to suspect."

Every word Fu Jinghong said came from the bottom of his heart.

To be able to kill four powerful men in the Heavenly Man Realm, the opponent's cultivation must be at least at the peak of the Void Transformation Realm, which is not very difficult.

The Yunhai Sect has a heritage of more than 4,000 years, and there are many predecessors who have reached the Void Transformation Realm.

But as someone who knew the terrain of the underground world very well, Fu Jinghong couldn't figure it out even if he racked his brains.

The underground world has always been a forbidden place for humans.

The underground world of the Tianyun Mountains is huge and connected to the earth veins. It is forbidden to enter to avoid destroying the spiritual power of the earth veins.

In the early years, the Yunhai Sect also mined the underground spiritual mines in Tianyun Mountain.

In the past two to three thousand years, all of the spirit crystals of the Yunhai Sect were mined from other places outside Tianyun Mountain.

In the underground world of Giant Tree Valley, there are many caves and various mountain cracks are connected to each other.

However, based on the footprints, it can be clearly seen that those people did not take any detours and rushed to the underground river in the shortest distance.

It is absolutely impossible for anyone in the Yunhai Sect to be so familiar with the structure of the underground world.

Fu Jinghong and his team thought for several days but could not figure out who would save the man.

Master Yun Yi's expression suddenly became serious.

When Fu Tu reported the incident the night before, he only said that a shadow had secretly sneaked into the cave under the giant tree, but he did not mention that four elders in the Heavenly Realm had died there.

Can Ye Feng, Shen Tianqi, Hong Jiu, those naughty kids kill four masters in the realm of heaven and man?

This is absolutely impossible.

Master Yun Yi said slowly: "Jinghong, who are those four elders?"

Fu Jinghong was stunned.

He looked up at his master with a surprised expression.

He thought that there was a shadow beside him, so his master knew his every move.

Only at this moment did Fu Jinghong come to his senses. Although his master knew about the Giant Tree Valley, he did not know some details.

Fu Jinghong immediately said: "According to the identification, they are Uncle Shoushi from Tianshi Peak, Uncle Yunlu from Yushen Peak, Uncle Yuji from Tianquan Peak, and Uncle Shouxin from the Beast Spirit Academy from Xingluo Peak."

Master Yun Yi's eyes flickered as he said hoarsely, "Wang Xingjian is the Keeper of Time. Chen Haisheng is the Cloud Recorder, Li Ji is the Ruler of the Realm, and Yuan Youxin is the Trustee of Faith...it's actually these four people!

Over the years, I've treated the four of them well, especially Yuan Youxin. His status in the Beast Spirit Academy is second only to Yuheng. What else could he possibly be dissatisfied with? And yet he's committed such a treasonous act? Damn it!
