These disciples of the Xuyang Sect were all sent out by He Zhang in the middle of the night before the accident happened, so the main responsibility naturally fell on He Zhang.
For a cultivator, it is undoubtedly more uncomfortable to have his cultivation completely destroyed than to kill them directly. The former is worse than death, but the latter is at least over and done with, and no longer needs to be gloated by the eyes of those around him.
Therefore, He Zhang could almost imagine what kind of waves the destruction of these disciples' cultivation would cause within the Xuyang Sect.
If he had a choice, he would really rather spend most of his life's savings to turn back time than encounter this kind of thing. Moreover, this matter cannot be hidden. These disciples have reached the eleventh level of Qi training and above, and are regarded as the key disciples to be trained in the sect. Unless he can put all their cultivation back into their own In the body, otherwise, it would be impossible to hide it.
He Zhang could only think about whether he could use another thing to dilute other people's attention and reduce the negative impact of this incident.
As he expected, when he told the other elders and peak masters in the sect about the incident early the next morning, he instantly became the target of public criticism. These people seemed to have forgotten about his sect master. As a result, Xu Yang Sect lost several core disciples this time, and they couldn't even find a way to remedy the situation.
He Zhang was very angry in his heart. He felt that this could not be entirely his fault. He calculated over and over again, but the only thing he missed was that the formation master was so powerful. The formation he deployed could defeat them within a few hours. All the core disciples of Yang Zong were lost inside.
What if he doesn't deal with this formation master? Then their Xuyang Sect would have to pay a huge reward to the formation master, but there would be no good results. If they didn't try to kill the other party, how could they be willing to just give out this huge reward
"Master He, I don't care how you quibble. Two of my disciples have lost all their cultivation because of your wrong decision this time. You tell me what to do." The Sixth Elder said coldly. He is not usually very affectionate. He who expressed his opinion was obviously really angry this time.
"This sect leader will personally apologize to the Sixth Elder and your two disciples, and properly resettle them and give them a certain amount of living expenses, which is enough for them to live the rest of their lives." He Zhang was forced to have no choice but to do it directly He made a promise in an attempt to calm the anger of these elders and peak masters.
It's a pity that the consequences of this incident were so serious that these elders and peak masters didn't even buy it.
The Sixth Elder sneered and said: "Master, are you sending beggars away? They have received a certain amount of living expenses, but what about me? The disciples I have worked so hard to train are just useless, shouldn't you show some expression?! "
He Zhang felt depressed in his heart and replied unexpectedly: "Sixth Elder, this sect leader did not expect this kind of thing to happen. Moreover, when our sect leader proposed the idea of killing the formation master, didn't you Don’t you have any objections? Why, now that something has finally happened, can you blame it all on me? "
The Sixth Elder was about to say more when he was interrupted by Qin Lingyu.
Qin Lingyu bowed to the elders and peak masters, and said respectfully: "Elders and peak masters, please listen to this disciple. The disciple feels that although the master's decision made some omissions in this matter, the result is also It is not Master's personal wish, but more of an accident. What's more, our enemies are still outside. If we start internal strife first, we may give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the gain will not be worth the loss. . Why not take a step back first, wait until this matter is resolved, and then sit down and communicate properly? What do the elders and peak masters think?"
Qin Lingyu's words silenced everyone.
Indeed, these are extraordinary times. Jun Linxuan and the others at Lintian Peak are still thinking about fighting back the Xu Yang Sect. If they start an internal strife now, they might just give Jun Linxuan and the others a chance. By then, Xu Yang Sect will Yangzong's losses will be even greater.
The Sixth Elder glanced at Qin Lingyu, then snorted to He Zhang: "He Zhang, you are not bad, you have a very smart apprentice."
Normally the Sixth Elder would directly address He Zhang as "Sect Master", but now he was calling "He Zhang Master" firmly, obviously he was angry.
He Zhang finally felt relieved. He quietly gave Qin Lingyu an approving look, clasped his fists at the elders and peak masters around him and said, "I, He Zhang, will keep my word. After I successfully get rid of Jun Linxuan and the others, I will definitely do it." Let me give you an explanation."
Everyone was still very unhappy, but because they had to focus on the overall situation, they didn't say anything more, which was regarded as acquiescence to He Zhang's statement.
"By the way, I still feel that things are not that simple this time." Qin Lingyu said suddenly.
"Why not use the simple method?"
"When the master said that the price could be raised before, the excitement on the face of the array master could not be faked, and I also have reason to believe that he really wanted this reward. In this case, why did he do it all night? Leave without even asking for reward?"
"Humph, we have sent people to kill him, why doesn't he leave yet?" the grumpy Fifth Elder immediately retorted.
"I think something is wrong. If he really has this ability, he can lock all the disciples in the formation, and then threaten us to give him the reward, otherwise we will destroy the cultivation of these disciples. And he doesn't even Instead of doing this, he went to great lengths to figure out a formation, and then left impatiently without taking a penny of reward. With his greedy temperament for money, wouldn’t it be too unreasonable?”
"Boy Qin, I don't understand what you want to express by saying this." The fifth elder glared at Qin Lingyu impatiently and said.
"What I mean is that it is very possible that someone in the sect secretly helped him leave, and he did not set up those formations alone."
"Huh?! Mr. Qin, you have too much imagination. If we have such formation talents in Xuyang Sect, we still need to go to a lot of trouble to find other formation masters?!" the fifth elder sneered.
"It is true that there is no one in our Xuyang Sect, but have you forgotten, Fifth Elder? At this moment, there is an outsider in our sect..."
Qin Lingyu said pointedly, pointing the finger directly at the only "outsider" in the sect, "Jun Ziwen".
The fifth elder frowned, feeling something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
However, the second elder took Qin Lingyu's words and said: "Ling Yu, what you said is not unreasonable, but all this is just based on your conjecture. Without evidence, this conjecture is untenable. "
Qin Lingyu smiled and said: "Second Elder, actually, we don't have to have a valid reason to act, right?"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"Disciple, I have always had great doubts about the true identity of Jun Ziwen. Unfortunately, there has never been any evidence. Now that something like this has happened again in the sect, disciple feels that we have to guard against it. The best way is Give that gentleman a try." Qin Lingyu said unhurriedly. After finishing speaking, all the elders and peak masters fell into thinking.
After a while, the fifth elder burst out laughing and patted Qin Lingyu on the shoulder, saying, "Young man Qin is good, I really have you. What you said makes sense. Instead of us always doubting the identity of that Jun Ziwen, it's better to go directly Find an opportunity to give him a try, if there is really something wrong with his identity, it will be revealed sooner or later."
"Yes, it's not just that. If we really kill him by accident, it won't be a big problem, right? This is the Xuyang Sect and it is our territory. Do we still need to be afraid of someone? Can't a small casual cultivator succeed?" The third elder also agreed, which attracted the approval of others.
As a result, a new round of plans for "Junziwen" gradually took shape during the quiet discussions among this group of people.
After the discussion, everyone walked out one after another. He Zhang walked to Qin Lingyu, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's all thanks to you this time, apprentice. Master, I'm very relieved that you can be so promising." .”
Qin Lingyu smiled slowly and said, "It is my responsibility as a disciple to be able to take care of Master's worries."
Qin Lingyu's attitude seemed sincere and down-to-earth. When he lowered his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
To be honest, he didn't care at all what happened to He Zhang. He just wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
He has long been dissatisfied with the way "Qin Shanshan" sticks to "Jun Ziwen". With "Jun Ziwen" getting in the way, his plans may be hindered a lot.
Now, with the elders and peak masters of Xuyang Sect taking action, he doesn't believe that "Jun Ziwen" will survive! In the final analysis, this person has only reached the Nascent Soul stage. Compared with the elders of Xuyang Sect, and even compared with his master He Zhang, he is still far behind.
Qin Lingyu raised the corners of his mouth in a sinister manner, his expression looking cold and ferocious.
—In three days, they will launch an operation against "Jun Ziwen".
The old guys from the Xuyang Sect thought their plan was perfect, but they didn't expect that a huge "crack" would appear at the same time as their plan was being formulated.
In order to find out the recent plans of Xuyang Sect and others, Jun Xiaomo secretly added a small spell to yesterday's puppet.
The main function of the puppet that became "Chen Taiguang" yesterday, in addition to confusing the disciples of the Xuyang Sect, was to eavesdrop. When He Zhang stepped into the room, a humanoid, burning The half-burnt paper figurine clung to his clothes silently.
Nearly two-thirds of this little paper man was burned, and only one-third remained. It looked very small, and if you didn't pay attention, you would be ignored. As a result, He Zhang really didn't notice the existence of this little paper man.
He Zhang took these little paper figures and found the peak masters and elders of the Xuyang Sect one by one, informed them about the cultivation of those disciples who had been abolished, and discussed with them how to find opportunities." Try the skills of "junziwen".
It is said to be a "test". In fact, in the eyes of He Zhang and these people, "Jun Ziwen" has long been sentenced to death. In their view, they would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let go of a person who might be against Xu. People who are unfavorable to Yang Zong.
However, despite all their calculations, they failed to realize that Jun Xiaomo eavesdropped on all of this and only passed a small paper figure.
"Jun Ziwen, since they want to deal with you, why don't we take action in three days." Jun Xiaomo said to Ye Xiuwen with a smile.
Ye Xiuwen raised his eyebrows and said, "Action? Action for what?"
"Of course it's our most important mission, breaking into the forbidden area." Jun Xiaomo said matter-of-factly, with a bit of eagerness in his eyes.
