At the foot of Changqing Mountain where Xuanyuezong was located, more and more people from the Jianghu gathered one after another. The teachers and disciples of the major orthodox sects, the casual cultivators who watched the excitement, and perhaps the demonic people who mixed in among them, all of these people came here without exception for the legendary fairy stone.
Even though Rong Qingyue never saw the half-shadow of the immortal stone, the others identified Xuan Yuezong.
As the chief culprit of this incident, Yi Tinglan returned to the sect, and received a cold stare from the seniors and sisters who usually did not deal well with her.
But after all, she is the saintess of the Xuanyue Sect, a direct disciple brought up by the sect master Rong Qingyue. No matter how displeased others are with her, they dare not accuse her in the open. Where did Yi Tinglan go?, where? She calmed down. As soon as she arrived, the people who were talking enthusiastically dispersed immediately.
The atmosphere inside Xuan Yuezong inevitably became much colder.
Yi Tinglan: "..."
This is the first time Yi Tinglan has been wronged like this.
Naturally, Rong Qingyue would not believe those rumors like those Jiang Hu people who were blinded by greed. It was inconvenient to rely on letters to communicate before. Now that Yi Tinglan returned to Xuanyue Sect, she immediately listened carefully Ask carefully to understand everything that happened after going down the mountain.
After listening to it, she pondered for a moment, then sighed softly: "I can't blame you for this matter. This matter was set up from the beginning to the end. As long as we are moved by the news about Xianshi , even if you don’t go down the mountain, and someone else goes, you will still be hit.”
Yi Tinglan regards this master as close and respectful as her own mother, so she won't say anything to her. She is hiding some secrets. Hearing this, her eyes are slightly red.
She forcibly pressed down, leaned on Rong Qingyue's knees, and said softly: "Master, I listened to Lan Si thinking about it all the way, maybe it was because she was played by someone from the beginning, and that person must not be Yan Feichi at the beginning. ... This must be a plot by the Demon Sect to divide me into the Six Schools of the Righteous Way!"
Speaking of this, she raised her face and looked expectantly at her master with misty eyes, but her tone was firm: "As long as we find a way to expose the conspiracy of Demon Sect in public, my Xuan Yue Sect will not only You can clear your innocence, and you can also call on the six sects of the righteous way to crusade against the evil sect, and further enhance your prestige in the Jianghu."
"It's useless." Rong Qingyue shook her head.
Although she is over 30 years old, her appearance is still exquisite and beautiful, and she is a bit more mature than a girl. Her eyes are transparent and calm, and she has a bright and intelligent light.
At this time, she used these eyes to quietly watch Yi Tinglan, who was full of doubts and reluctance, with a touch of tolerance in her eyes: "This matter is not as simple as you think. Not to mention the short story How can we find evidence to prove our innocence within a short period of time, even if we find evidence?"
"Naturally, we will crusade against the Demon Sect together."
Rong Qingyue didn't say anything, but just asked a question: "The whole Jianghu said that I, the Xuanyue Sect, killed people and seized treasures, and swallowed the secret of the fairy stone. Do you think the other five sects are right? Are you convinced?"
Yi Tinglan was confused: "Isn't that so?"
... She defended her many times before, but no one believed her words. Coming back this way, it was like being stared at by someone as a thief all the time
Rong Qingyue shook her head, her eyes revealed a bit of coldness: "Of course not. Those young people are easy to believe, and the heads of all sects are old people. Even if they believe 90% of them, there should be 10% of them half-believing. Right? Now they bite to death and put the blame on my Xuanyuezong's head, it's nothing more than that this situation is the most beneficial to them."
If Xuanyuezong really swallowed the fairy stone, it would be the best to get the things out; even if Xuanyuezong was really plotted by others, but he can take advantage of this opportunity to take Xuanyuezong from the position of No. 1 in the righteous way If it is dragged down, its reputation will be damaged, and it will be good for other sects to have a chance to rise to the top; what's more, in the face of the suppression of the entire arena, if Xuan Yuezong can't bear it, maybe they will secretly give up. It would be even better to use less interest to win over the remaining few cases.
After listening to Rong Qingyue explain the game here, Yi Tinglan realized that her thinking was too simple. She smiled wryly, and bit her lip unwillingly:
"So, even if we expose the conspiracy of the Demon Sect, we have to pay a considerable price to satisfy the others before they are willing to cooperate?"
Otherwise, they would just bite to death and put the blame on Xuan Yuezong's head? Xuanyuezong had no choice. After all, what Jianghu righteousness is best at is manipulating public opinion, adding righteousness to oneself, whitewashing oneself, and discrediting others. Xuan Yuezong opened his mouth, where? Can it compare to their many? Open his mouth
Rong Qingyue's eyes darkened slightly, and she smiled in relief.
"... Ting Lan, as long as you can figure it out."
…
A few days later, Fang Yunxiao was still living in the inn. Several sect masters were invited by Xuanyue Sect Master to meet with him one after another. After returning, they all vaguely changed their tone. Even the attitude of the sect has changed.
In the past, when everyone talked, they kept talking about the topic of "Xuanyuezong swallowed the fairy stone and killed people to kill people", but now, although some people are still obsessed with this topic, there is gradually a voice from the crowd at the foot of Changqing Mountain, that is It is doubted that there is a voice of the magic door.
People in the world tend to follow blindly and are easily swayed by public opinion. As soon as this kind of voice came to the fore, as long as some prestigious seniors showed a little direction, it wouldn't take long for everyone's attention to be shifted from Xuan Yuezong to Demon Sect.
And this is what Rong Qingyue wants to see.
Fang Yunxiao was keenly aware of this change. But after all, he has too little experience and has never been involved in the rivers and lakes before, so it is difficult for him to understand the deep meaning behind this, and he only thinks that other people are finally smart for a while.
Yuan Buwei, who received the news from An Yan, immediately realized keenly: This is clearly that the Xuanyue Sect and several other major sects have secretly reached certain deals, and the six sects of the Zheng?
I don't know how many benefits Xuanyuezong gave up, so that the rest of the sects chose to temporarily help Xuanyuezong survive this catastrophe, and the disaster was brought to the devil's head
However, such alliances are necessarily fragile.
Although the other five sects choose to help Xuan Yuezong, it doesn't mean they are completely relieved. Maybe the few leaders believe that Xuanyuezong is innocent on the surface, but secretly they are still suspecting that Xuanyuezong has hidden the fairy stone-they promised that Xuanyuezong will put all the crimes on the Demon Gate, in order to deceive those loose cultivators and divert their targets , may not have saved it? Reduce a large number of competitors, and then secretly share the fairy stone with Xuanyuezong, so as to make a fortune silently.
I didn't want to be able to see this, but of course I can see it from the several demon sects who have placed eyeliners at the foot of Changqing Mountain.
They didn't know that the matter of the fairy stone was an unplanned game from beginning to end. They just thought that Xuan Yuezong was too insidious. Come clean.
Only the Demon Gate has ever framed others, where? Has anyone else done bad things to make the Demon Gate take the blame? Inexplicably, he became the black hand behind the plot to harm Xuan Yuezong. These arrogant masters of the magic sect were very angry.
When the last building boat of the Burning Flame Sacred Sect arrived late, all the masters of the demon sect arrived at Changqing Mountain together. The three sects and nine sects of the Demon Sect, who had always been at odds with each other, immediately reached an agreement to give Xuan Yuezong a good look!
That night? On Changqing Mountain, the flames were shining brightly.
Xuanyuezong occupies the entire Changqing Mountain alone, and the majestic mountain gates and palaces are hidden in the shadows of trees. The towers and high pavilions are extremely elegant, just like a fairyland.
The night was getting dark, and several figures flitted across the sky like ghosts, fluctuating in the night, and went straight to the innermost pavilions of Xuanyue Sect.
"who?!!"
Not long after, a roar of panic and anger came from the depths of Xuan Yuezong. The sound wave spread for several miles, causing the surrounding trees to vibrate, and the fallen leaves all over the sky.
A few shadows rushed out from the pavilion at once, and formed into a ball in the air. The sharp energy pierced through the air, cut off the corners of the eaves and corridors, and shattered the high lamps. The entire Xuanyue Sect was alarmed. . Immediately there were countless disciples pouring out from all directions.
The fighting in mid-air intensified, and it could be vaguely divided into two sides. On one side were the masters of the Nine Demon Sects who sneaked in, on the other side were Xuanyue Sect's suzerain Rong Qingyue, the four elders, and the rest of the Xuanyue Sect's orthodox sect leaders who were staying at the Xuanyue Sect. The two sides fought evenly.
"Rong, Qing, Yue!"
Chi Wanwan saw this old enemy at first glance, and rushed forward without hesitation. The pair went up to Rong Qingyue, with an attitude of immortality, and almost forgot the purpose of coming, but seeing? , every move of hers contains a fierce and extremely murderous intent.
Compared with the crazy Chi Wanwan, Rong Qingyue was much calmer, and in the interval between moves, she still said leisurely: "More than ten years have passed, I never thought that Sect Master Chi still has such a temperament. Being haunted by demons, it's no wonder that they haven't broken through the Fenyan Heart Art until now."
If Chi Wanwan was said to be insane like a demon, then Rong Qingyue was like a fairy. There was a touch of understanding in her smart and intelligent eyes. With just one glance at Chi Wanwan, she seemed to see through all the embarrassment of the other party.
Chi Wanwan was so stimulated by her that she immediately went mad: "Shut up! You bastard! If you hadn't used tricks back then, I would have been..." She wanted to say, if it weren't for you, I would have been Chu Tiannan's wife, How could he become the suzerain of the Burning Flame Sect, how could he appear here? But after all, how much? Rational? Reasonable, and stopped talking halfway.
It's just that the movements of his hands became more and more fierce.
Rong Qingyue is still calm, even if she is fighting for her life, every move and style is still as graceful as a dance, and the pure natural energy is emitted invisible, affecting the real situation around her. gas field.
In contrast, Chi Wanwan, whose mentality was stimulated out of balance, and who was on the verge of going mad, undoubtedly fell into a disadvantage.
But Chi Wanwan's tricks were ruthless, and all of them used the method of almost killing each other. They made up for the lack with a violent aura, and the two of them stuck together.
Suddenly, below? There was another exclamation.
"Saint!!!"
Amidst the shouts of the disciples of Xuanyue Sect, whose eyes were tearing apart, a figure rushed out from the crowd, holding a young girl, who else could it be if it wasn't Yi Tinglan
This person confronted the Xuanyue Sect elders who were chasing after him, and he threw him away, holding on to Yi Tinglan firmly, and wanted to plunder the Xuanyue Sect. , There was a long and cheerful whistle from the mouth.
"Your grandma's Xuanyuezong! We have never seen what the fairy stone looks like? How dare you give it out of thin air? My holy gate is blamed, and this saintly daughter of Lao Shizi will be regarded as an apology!" He exhaled long, and the voice came out in a blink of an eye. Far away, echoing up and down Changqing Mountain, his style is no different from that of bandits and tyrants snatching marriage, "Hahahaha..."
—Obviously, the purpose of this group of demon masters raiding Xuan Yuezong was to take Yi Tinglan away. One is to avenge Xuan Yuezong's misfortune, and the other is for the secret of the fairy stone.
"Li Xuanfeng!" Rong Qingyue's expression changed instantly, no matter how difficult it was to maintain a calm and calm expression.
Everyone recognized the identity of this person.
Although this person has a fairy-like name, he is actually the devil among the devils.
Of the three veins and nine sects of the Demon Sect, the Seven Emotions Sect is the most famous in the Jianghu, because the Seven Emotions Sect cultivates the heart with the seven emotions and six desires, and likes to pretend to be various identities. If it wasn't for them to finish training their minds, take the initiative to reveal their identities, and drift away, many people would not believe that the cook/xiaoer/brothel top card/high court official whom they have known for a long time... would actually be a member of the Demon Sect.
This Li Xuanfeng is the suzerain of the contemporary Seven Emotions Sect.
More than 20 years ago, he used to pretend to be more than a dozen identities, from a brothel musician who is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, to a bandit leader in the Eighteen Villages of the Green Forest, to a handyman of various sects, a high school The son of a rich family... Even in the Hanshan School, one of the six sects of the righteous way, he once defeated many competitors as an ordinary disciple and became the young suzerain at that time, almost inheriting the Hanshan School.
There are countless forces that have been harmed by this person, and enemies are everywhere. In addition to being proficient in the art of disguise, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, martial arts formations, and hundreds of skills, this person has dabbled in all of them. His martial arts may not be the most powerful in the Demon Sect, but his breadth of knowledge is undoubtedly the number one.
Maybe it's because there are too many enemies? The Patriarch of the Seven Emotions Sect is best at lightness kungfu. Just at this moment, this person has swept a long trajectory in the night, leaving only an afterimage that has not had time to dissipate. .
This incident was really caught off guard, even Xuan Yuezong did not expect it in advance. Rong Qingyue and others wanted to save people, but they were entangled by the rest of the demon masters. At that moment, they couldn't tell how many people were chasing them. Only the two elders of Xuanyue Sect chased after them while shouting for the saint up.
But their martial arts were not Li Xuanfeng's opponents at all, let alone their lightness skills. Chasing? Chasing? I couldn't even see the figure? I had to grit my teeth and go back to Xuanyuezong to plead guilty to the suzerain.
At this moment, the Xuanyue Sect's mountain gate was in a mess. After a great battle, there were ruins and broken tiles everywhere. Rong Qingyue stood in front of the broken steps, her face covered with a layer of frost.
She did not blame the two elders. Just because? She guessed the result before the two chased them out.
This time the Demon Gate's surprise attack was too fast, so fast that she had no time to make any response
After Yi Tinglan was taken away, the remaining masters of the magic sect seemed to have achieved their goal, and they entangled with them again, losing both sides, so they hurriedly retreated. Rong Qingyue was also seriously injured, she could only watch helplessly. They left, her eyes were as cold as ice.
Beside her, the heads of the sects who had just helped out also had ugly faces.
However, unlike Rong Qingyue, they didn't care about Yi Tinglan's safety—although Yi Tinglan seemed to know the secret of the Xiaoxian Stone, they believed that Rong Qingyue, as Yi Tinglan's master, must have learned from the other party. Knowing the secret, it doesn't matter if Yi Tinglan lives or dies—what they care about is their own face, and the threat brought to them by the strength shown by the Demon Sect.
Someone had a quick head turn, took advantage of the situation, and said bitterly: "Devil's thieves are really hateful! Sovereign Rong, you have also seen these demons? How rampant they are today, even the Xuanyue Sect's mountain gate dared to break in Now they have kidnapped the saintess of the noble sect, if they learn some secrets because of this, then the whole Demon Sect will be even more difficult to control... "
Speaking of this, the man looked at Rong Qingyue, and continued with hints: "The most urgent thing is that we should get ahead of the devil and become stronger first, so that we can eliminate the devil and defend the way. What does Sect Master Rong think?"
When these words came out, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, and they all showed hope.
"Extremely. This proposal is very appropriate, what does Sect Master Rong think?"
Rong Qingyue fell into silence.
The hint couldn't be more clear. Since the Demon Sect may know the secret of the Immortal Stone from Yi Tinglan, Xuan Yuezong will share the secret with everyone first, so that everyone can use the Immortal Stone to improve their strength and fight against the Demon Sect.
Even the other headmasters who had accepted Xuan Yuezong's benefits and agreed to take a step back temporarily couldn't help but see their eyes light up at this moment. Because this reason is too upright and impeccable.
Realizing that this is the best time to press for the secret of the fairy stone, they immediately put aside the original private agreement, reached an agreement in an instant, and stared at Rong Qingyue with burning eyes, with awe-inspiring righteousness in their expressions.
"We Zheng? The six sects of the Dao are united in the same spirit. Today, everyone is retreating from the powerful enemy for the Xuanyue Sect, risking life and death. Could it be that Master Rong still can't see through that little personal gain, and he does not hesitate to let the evil Dao thieves oppress the Zheng? Dao head ? Come up?"
Rong Qingyue: "..."
Under this righteous gaze, Rong Qingyue only felt that she was being cornered, and for the first time in her life, she felt aggrieved and depressed beyond words. In the past, she used such words to block others, but why was she kidnapped by words in the name of righteousness
How should she make up this unreasonable secret of the immortal stone
At this moment, Rong Qingyue really hated the little thief behind the scenes who made up random stories and put Xuan Yuezong into such a disadvantageous situation.
