There is a beautiful mountain surrounded by mysterious energy, with many tall pavilions and towering buildings. In front of the mountain gate there is a huge stone tablet, on which are written three large characters "Zhuifeng Sect" in a casual and elegant manner.
In the most magnificent building of the Zhuifeng Sect, there is a secret room with five or six chairs. Normally, this room is empty, but now these five or six chairs are full of people.
"Master, three of our properties have been destroyed recently. Except for the first one, the people in the other two were killed by blunt weapons."
"Especially the third location. When we sent disciples there to check, we found that a lot of third-grade formations had been set up there. Because of our sect's carelessness, some of our disciples suffered casualties."
The old man sitting in the top chair nodded and said after listening to the report of the old man below: "A third-grade formation is at most at the beginning of the mysterious realm. It is nothing to be afraid of. What I am worried about now is the origin of that person."
"If that person is just a so-called justice advocate, then it's fine. But if he is a remnant of the East Emperor, then it's a bit special."
An old man with shifty eyes suddenly spoke up: "The remnants of the East Emperor are all a bunch of old, weak and sick people. We haven't caused any trouble for them yet, so how dare they cause trouble for us?"
"Elder Sun, don't underestimate the enemy. You must know that a centipede will not die even if it is cut into pieces." The elder who just reported the situation to the sect master said, "We are naturally not afraid of the remnants of the East Emperor with our current strength, but it will take a lot of effort to destroy them, especially if they do something behind our backs, which will definitely cause us a lot of trouble."
"So what? Are we going to put up with it? If the remnants of the East Emperor dare to make any small moves, why not just destroy them?"
Elder Sun obviously had some conflicts with that elder. When he saw that elder lecturing him, he started to refute him without caring whether what the elder said was right or not.
"Elder Sun, why do you have to say such angry words? When the East Emperor was still alive, you were the most spineless person. If we go to war with the remnants of the East Emperor, wouldn't it be our disciples who die? You say this with such ease."
"Xun Tianyang, who the hell are you talking about?"
When Elder Sun heard him say that about himself, he angrily slapped the stone table in front of him and his profound energy suddenly exploded.
"I'm talking about you, Sun Li. How dare you take action in front of the sect leader?" Compared with Elder Sun's anger and humiliation, Xun Tianyang was obviously much calmer and even did not forget to dig a big trap for Sun Li.
As long as Sun Li took over his words, no matter what he said, it would leave a bad impression in the sect leader's mind. From this, it can be seen that Xun Tianyang is a very scheming person.
"Why not..."
"Enough!" Sure enough, before Elder Sun could finish speaking, the sect leader frowned and scolded Sun Li.
"Elder Xun, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate thoroughly. Whether it was done by the remnants of the East Emperor or the so-called heroes, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."
After saying this, the sect leader left directly. He knew what Elder Xun was doing, but he also felt that Elder Sun was a little too presumptuous, so there was nothing wrong with scolding him.
Also, although Elder Xun is quite scheming and more difficult to control, such a person can be more effective if used well. This is why he asked Elder Xun to investigate the matter instead of anyone else.
His attitude towards this matter was also cautious, and what Elder Xun had said before was quite to his liking.
Although his current strength is enough to suppress the remnants of the Eastern Emperor, it will definitely cost a lot, and he does not want to pay that price.
If he and the remnants of the Eastern Emperor were to fight to the death, there would be no guarantee that he would not be targeted by other forces.
In his heart, Dongyu Island is already in his pocket, and the future Dongdi will definitely be his, and no one can take it away from him.
After the sect leader left, Elder Sun snorted coldly and left. The other elders also bowed to each other and left.
Each of these people is a shrewd person. When Xun Tianyang set a trap for Sun Li, they chose to keep silent to avoid the war from shifting to themselves.
Xun Tianyang saw that everyone had left. He still smiled on the surface, as if he was friendly to everyone, but he was full of disdain in his heart.
After Xun Tianyang came out of the secret room, he went straight to find his most proud disciple. His most proud disciple had already reached the perfection of the ninth level of the Xuan realm, and was even half a step away from reaching the Xuan realm.
Xun Tianyang felt more at ease to leave this matter to him, and in his eyes, this kind of matter was not difficult to handle. After all, the invading enemy was at most in the Profound Realm.
As long as the person has entered the Xuan realm, Xun Tianyang is confident that his disciple is capable of killing him, or at least there will be no danger.
But as long as this matter is investigated, there will be no shortage of credit and benefits, which is why he handed this matter over to his apprentice.
Now that he is old, it is impossible for him to improve his cultivation. As long as the sect master is alive, he can be no more than an elder.
He accepted that this sect leader did not belong to him, but the next sect leader would definitely be his disciple.
It was also for this reason that he had been paving the way for his disciples a long time ago. His disciples were given priority in all beneficial matters, in order to squeeze out the sect master's disciples.
It can be said that what he has paid for his apprentice is far higher than anyone else in the sect.
"Master." Soon, a sturdy man with a stern look came to Xun Tianyang.
"Ren Xiao, the master has a task for you."
Then, Xun Tianyang told his disciple Ren Xiao what the sect leader had asked him to do.
In order to prevent his arrogant disciple from underestimating the enemy, Xun Tianyang gave him a few more instructions, telling him not to be careless, and told him of his high hopes for him, hoping that he could understand his good intentions.
"I will definitely live up to Master's expectations." Ren Xiao bowed to Xun Tianyang with a solemn expression on his face.
Seeing that his disciple was so sensible, Xun Tianyang nodded happily and left with a smile.
But Xun Tianyang would never have thought that after he turned around, the solemnity on Ren Xiao's face immediately turned into an expression of disgust.
Ren Xiao couldn't even bear to wait for Xun Tianyang to leave, which showed how much he disliked his master.
When he was sure that his master had completely left, Ren Xiao whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "The sect leader gave it to you, but this old immortal actually gave it directly to me."
It is estimated that Xun Tianyang will never know until his death that the disciple he wanted to train with all his heart actually hates him so much.
