When Tang Yi came back, the gathered disciples seemed to have dispersed. Luo Yuangong, Su Po and Tang Susu were still waiting there.

Seeing her coming back from the mountain with a jar of wine, Tang Susu's face suddenly darkened and she had a fit on the spot, "Did he give it to you?"

Tang Yi's eyes met hers, with an unprecedented seriousness, which actually forced Tang Susu to calm down a lot.

"This jar of wine may have been buried in the mountain by my father." Tang Yi said lightly.

"..." Tang Susu hesitated. She originally wanted to ask Tang Yi to throw away the things given by the man, but when she heard that they might be Tang Mu's relics, she couldn't say anything.

Su Po glanced in the direction she came from and tried to ask: "Master, where are the others?"

Tang Yi sighed softly: "He refused to stay and left!"

Tang Susu snorted coldly, "The scum of the Shangqing Sect, it's a shame that he still has the nerve to set foot in the territory of the Shangqing Sect. If the head brother hadn't protected him back then, how would he still be alive!"

"Don't say such useless and angry words." Luo Yuangong, the senior brother, scolded, and then said to Tang Yi: "Master, with his intervention, I guess no one will dare to cause trouble with the Qing Sect in the short term. What we have to do now is to clean up the door. We have sent people to chase the dozens of disciples who defected before. It is estimated that it will be difficult to find them in this vast mountain for a while. We also ask the leader to issue an order to notify the outside world's hidden sources to pay attention. Once found, they will immediately Report so that we can send people to eradicate these traitors in time!"

Tang Yi said: "It doesn't matter if these traitors left. They don't want to share the troubles with the master. There is no point in staying. There may be outside informants among them. After this incident, it may not be a bad thing. It may be a blessing in disguise and bury the outside world." Qing Zong’s insiders have been eliminated.”

These words made the three elders either nod or acquiesce. It was indeed the case. It was unlikely that the insiders who were ambushing from outside would share the difficulties with the Shangqing Sect. It was very likely that they had escaped under pressure before. However, the three of them seemed to have noticed something unusual from Tang Yi. Normally, Tang Yi would look at the opinions drawn up by the three elders. This time, regarding this matter, Tang Yi seemed to be seriously considering the matter from the position of the leader. Take the initiative to express your opinion.

Tang Susu said bitterly: "We must not spare these traitors lightly!"

Tang Yi: "Of course we can't let the traitor go, but now is not the time to spend our main energy on this. As Elder Luo said, that person came forward to scare us. No one should dare to touch the Qing Sect in the short term. But it is only for a short period of time, so we should take advantage of this gap to make due preparations. Inform the pursuing disciples to come back. As for those traitors, I, the Shangqing Sect, should publicly speak out to the spiritual world, expose these traitors, and let them Having a bad reputation will make it more difficult for them to gain a foothold in the outside world. It is not too late to find opportunities to liquidate them slowly afterwards. In addition, Song Shu, I announce in the name of the leader that Song Shu ordered his son to murder fellow disciple Niu Youdao. Instead, he framed the master. The sect, and even colluded with the Liuxian Sect to attack the sect, and they should be included in the list of traitors who deceived the master and destroyed the ancestors, and will be despised by everyone in the world!"

"..." The three elders were stunned.

Put Song Shu on the list of those who deceived their teachers and destroyed their ancestors? The three of them don't think it's wrong. It's not an exaggeration to say that they colluded with the Liuxian Sect to deceive their master and destroy their ancestors. Maybe that's the case. It's just that Tang Susu instigated Song Yanqing to do the rightful killing of cattle. Now that it's being blamed on Song Shu, it's simply a frame-up! However, with the Liuxian Sect's surprise attack and the fact that this side rushed to issue a statement to gain a head start, no one would even believe Song Shu's defense.

It's a good idea, and Tang Susu was picked out. If there are rumors that Tang Yi is plotting to seize the head of the family in the future, outsiders will think that the Song family is seeking revenge. The 'preemptive move' is a good one!

This method made Tang Susu feel a little uncomfortable. She looked at Tang Yi with a slightly soft look and realized that her niece was her niece. It was not in vain that she had worked hard to help her become the head of the family. After all, she was still facing her as her aunt. After all, the family It's a family!

In short, at this moment, the three of them realized that there had been obvious changes in Tang Yi's words.

Luo Yuangong muttered: "Master, this is a good idea, but in this way, we will completely break up with the Song family. The Song family can take revenge openly. From now on, it will be even more difficult for the Shangqing Sect to gain a foothold in the Yan Kingdom." .”

"I have made my own decision!" Tang Yi looked up in the direction of the Shangqing Palace, her bright eyes filled with determination that she had never seen before. She walked away from the others with the wine jar in her arms, and said, "Offer incense to the ancestor!"

Offer incense to the ancestor? The third elder was stunned again, looking at each other, and could only follow him. It is never too much to offer incense to the Patriarch, and it is difficult for anyone to refuse.

When the group arrived at the Shangqing Palace, Tang Yi put the wine jar aside, walked to the seated statue of the Patriarch in the center, lit three sticks of incense, stepped back three steps, looked up at the tall seated statue, and stared without saying a word.

The three elders also stepped forward to light incense, then walked back and stood in a row behind Tang Yi, admiring the holy face of the ancestor together.

Tang Yi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly knelt down slowly and performed this great ceremony, which shocked the three people behind him.

There is nothing wrong with kneeling down to the ancestor, but usually such a big ceremony is only performed during major ceremonies or when there is something important.

Even the leader knelt down. Although the three of them were senior, they had to kneel down with the leader.

Tang Yi, who was holding incense in both hands, looked up at the seated statue and said with a pious face: "The ancestors are on top, the ancestors of all generations are on top, Tang Yi, the eleventh generation leader of the Shang Qing Sect, kneels down and apologizes! Today, the Shang Qing Sect is in crisis. , unable to extricate themselves, all due to the incompetence of the disciples. Today, when the Shangqing Sect is on the verge of life and death, the disciples swear an oath in front of the ancestors and the ancestors of all generations, and they will do their best to revitalize the Shangqing Sect. If there are any mistakes, the disciples are willing to bear them alone, and I sincerely ask the spirit in heaven Bless you!" After saying this, he bowed his head three times and kowtowed to the ground.

The three people behind them all had expressions of emotion on their faces. Everyone knew that the Shangqing Sect had fallen to its present state, with three feet of ice freezing over a day. Tang Yi was definitely not to blame, but Tang Yi was the one to blame in front of his ancestors In front of the master, he took all the responsibilities by himself.

The three of them looked at each other, then held incense and kowtowed three times.

Tang Yi stood up and stepped forward, inserting three sticks of incense into the incense burner of the altar, and then slowly stepped away. After the three elders also put on the incense and returned, she turned to face the three of them, and her serious eyes swept back and forth on their faces. , asked: "The current situation of the Shangqing Sect, do the three elders have any way to get out of the predicament?"

The three of them were silent. There was no good way to get out of the predicament. If there was one, it would have been proposed long ago.

Luo Yuangong tried to ask: "What does the leader have in mind?"

Tang Yi: "There is no good way, but we can't stay here and watch the Shangqing Sect's demise. We can't stay here and wait for death. If this is the case, we will be the eternal sinners of the Shangqing Sect!"

The term "eternal sinner" was a bit serious, which made the three of them look solemn, because it was not impossible to say this, but it really made the Shangqing Sect fall at the hands of their generation, and they had no face to face the ancestors of the past generations. In fact, it is entirely possible!

Luo Yuangong: "If the leader has anything to say, you might as well say it clearly."

Tang Yi: "I don't need to say more about the current situation of the Shangqing Sect. Even if no one comes to kill us, we have been cut off from seeking cultivation resources. The Song family should no longer provide us with cultivation resources. If this continues , the supply is cut off, how to explain to the disciples below? Where is the people's hearts? I'm afraid that it will not only be those people who rebelled before, but the entire Shangqing Sect will completely fall apart, so why should we clean up the door? If the trees are moved, they will die, and the people will live. I want to temporarily abandon the sect and lead the disciples of the Shangqing Sect to go to other places to seek cultivation resources in order to revitalize it!"

Luo Yuangong and Su Po's eyes widened.

Tang Susu screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Your majestic leader actually wants to give up the ancestral family of the sect. Have you ever thought about how the world will see you? The world will laugh at your incompetence! Have you ever thought about it? The bones of our ancestors and the ancestors of all generations are buried among these mountains and rivers, including your father. Are you just leaving like this and letting others trample on you? How can you say such a number in front of the ancestors and ancestors of all generations? Dian Wangzong’s words!”

There was something she didn't say. Her husband and her son were also buried here. How could she let outsiders clear the graves of her son and husband.

And the bones of some ancestors are rotted into slag. Even if you want to dig them out and bury them, you can't move them. What's the point of moving only part of them

This is indeed the case. Just as Liuxian Sect said, Shangqing Sect occupies the treasured land of Lingshan. As soon as Shangqing Sect leaves, someone will immediately come to occupy it.

It's easy to leave, but with the current ability of the Shangqing Sect, it's difficult to get it back. You gave it up yourself, and you don't want it. Why do you let people move it away and give it back to you

Tang Yi retorted: "If the people who protect the Shangqing Sect are gone, how can we protect this ancestral court? It will be occupied by others! As long as the Shangqing Sect can be revitalized, as long as the Shangqing Sect has strength, naturally There will be a day when we can take it back! I don’t want to watch the tombs of our ancestors and ancestors being insulted, but this is the price that must be paid to revitalize the Shangqing Sect. Otherwise, we can only sit back and wait for death. I want our ancestors and all the ancestors to be The master can also understand us!"

"You..." Tang Susu waved her sleeves and pointed at Tang Yi, and said with an angry smile: "Okay, okay, let's assume that what you said is right, I would like to ask the leader, although the Great Yan Kingdom is big, where can we go? Tell me where I can go? Could it be that I want to imitate Niu Youdao and run to Feng Lingbo?"

Tang Yidao: "Facing the dilemma of the Shangqing Sect, I have thought hard day and night. When I learned that the Shang Dynasty Sect was accepted by Feng Lingbo, I did think about the possibility of defecting to Feng Lingbo, but it was not appropriate! Feng Lingbo could accept it. The Shang Dynasty Sect may not accept me, the Shang Qing Sect. Feng Lingbo has already been under pressure by accepting the Shang Dynasty Sect. Tianyu Sect had to post an explanation everywhere in the spiritual world. If I, the Shang Qing Sect, meet Prince Ning's son again If they are involved together, it is estimated that Tianyumen will not be willing to bear this pressure. Even if the other party can bear it, Feng Lingbo's power is still a bit small. It is not clear that he has any ability to expand. He is not as strong as the imperial court. Contrast. And the Great Yan Kingdom itself is also in a precarious situation, facing the possibility of being disintegrated and divided by other countries at any time. Feng Lingbo's power will be difficult to resist if faced with such a huge trend. Therefore, no matter where the princes in the Great Yan territory are, It is not suitable for me to seek long-term development in the Qing Sect."

Tang Susu laughed and said sarcastically: "Is it possible that the leader still wants to lead the Shangqing Sect to defect to other countries? There are xenophobic things everywhere, and other countries will not easily allow other countries to move in and get a share of the pie!"

Tang Yi: "I'm going to take people north to defect to the Yan rebel general Shao Dengyun!"
