Mu Chenxue was also extremely shocked.
Because of Ling Tian's sudden anger. In an instant, she was sent flying hundreds of meters away.
If she hadn't had the cultivation of the late King Wu and covered her whole body with spiritual power, I'm afraid she would be like Xu Wanan, vomiting blood.
But at this moment, her whole body was filled with energy and blood. I could only sit on the ground quickly and concentrate on regulating my breath.
"Xu Wanan, my tolerance is limited. This is your last chance."
Hearing this, Xu Wanan quickly got up from the ground, with a look of panic on his face.
"Lord Cult Master, please calm down. Sir Cult Leader, please calm down."
How could Xu Wanan not understand what Ling Tian meant. If he still had any luck, then he was really wrong.
Ling Tian would kill him with one move without hesitation.
"Say! What's going on?" Ling Tian shouted sternly.
Just the word "say" had already shaken his mind.
"I said, I said," Xu Wanan quickly expressed his position, fearing that if he was too late, his head would fall to the ground.
"Master Cult Leader, actually I really don't know where the Pavilion Master was taken. I'm just a messenger."
"Stop talking nonsense to me." Ling Tian scolded again.
If Ling Tian hadn't shouted so domineeringly, Xu Wanan would have no idea what this nonsense was all about.
"Master, what I said is true. I just received the carrier pigeon that day, but I didn't read the letter inside."
"Where did the flying pigeon come from?" Ling Tian walked towards Xu Wanan step by step.
"That flying pigeon is no ordinary flying pigeon. It was secretly raised by Evergreen Pavilion. It is specially used for information transmission."
"Xu Wanan, what is my problem?" Ling Tian had already arrived in front of Xu Wanan.
When Xu Wanan saw Ling Tian's feet right in front of him, his mind went blank.
There was only one word that came to his mind at the moment, and that was: death!
Looking at his body that was shaking like an earthquake, Ling Tian knew that he couldn't put any more pressure on him.
Otherwise, you will become a fool if you have a nervous breakdown.
"Xu Wanan, you just need to return to my question truthfully. Then you will be safe and sound."
Although Ling Tian's voice was cold, it was relatively calmer than before.
"Xu Wanan, I want to ask you, where is the pigeon?"
"My subordinates really don't know."
"Okay. Then do you know who the pigeon is related to?"
"It has something to do with the Kamikaze sect."
"Kamikaze sect? Is that the kamikaze sect on the list?" Ling Tian confirmed.
"That's right. That's it." Xu Wanan nodded quickly.
"Okay. I would like to ask you, have you asked Gou Wenyao to go to the Kamikaze Sect to investigate before?"
"Yes. I have asked him to help me go to investigate before. But I couldn't find any trace of the pavilion master."
Ling Tian was not surprised at all that Shen Wanqing was not inside.
Perhaps it had already been transferred, or perhaps it was not the work of the Kamikaze sect at all.
"Okay. Apart from the first time, do you know who Shen Wanqing has met? The leader of the Kamikaze Sect? Do you think he is qualified?"
Ling Tian's question left Xu Wanan unsure of what to do.
At this moment, he really couldn't think.
"Okay, you go down. Please sort out Fei Ge's information for me, and of course, send me the general accounts of Evergreen Pavilion."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
Xu Wanan knew that he did not have to die. The whole person felt relieved. It's like a prisoner who has been given a new life.
Watching Xu Wanan's back walking away step by step.
Ling Tian's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light.
He knew that Xu Wanan did not dare to speak out before because he was afraid that Ling Tian would be held accountable and lose his life.
Therefore, under the threat of questioning just now, all he could know was that much.
"Kamikaze."
Ling Tian looked down at the list and found that Xu Wanan's report mentioned that the leader of the Kamikaze Sect was a disciple of Yuanyang Palace in Qingyan Mountain.
"What a coincidence."
At this moment, Mu Chenxue finally adjusted her breathing. She hurriedly walked to Ling Tian and looked at Ling Tian in shock.
"Master, what happened just now?" Mu Chenxue looked confused again.
After all, Ling Tian and Xu Wanan had a pretty good chat at the beginning.
But the next second, the style suddenly changed.
A violent wave of air burst out, knocking her and Xu Wanan away instantly.
Ling Tian looked at Mu Chenxue: "Are you okay?"
After all, in my anger just now, I had temporarily forgotten that this little girl was still beside me.
Mu Chenxue shook her head: "Master, is the disappearance of Second Senior Sister related to Xu Wanan?"
"It's just some relationship. At present, my teacher only speculates that he concealed the truth and refused to report it. The specific situation depends on Xu Wanan's performance."
"Oh? Master is really powerful. But how did you guess that Xu Wanan concealed the matter and refused to report it?" Mu Chenxue looked at Ling Tian like a curious baby.
However, her eyes were not full of curiosity at all, but full of admiration and admiration for Ling Tian.
Because she really didn't know how Ling Tian could be so powerful. It seemed like nothing could escape his eyes.
And behind every inadvertent action, there is always a real purpose hidden.
Let's not talk about the far side, let's talk about Long Haotian. The decision he made on the surface was shocking, but because of this, he tested out this person's true character and temperament.
Therefore, how could such a wise Ling Tian not make Mu Chenxue feel worshiped and admired.
Ling Tian looked at Mu Chenxue and smiled slightly.
"This matter suddenly came to mind after you kept asking me what is the earth? What is the magnetic field?"
When Mu Chenxue heard this, her face was full of joy. It turns out that I also have my own contribution to this.
but…
"Does this have anything to do with the earth and the magnetic field?" Mu Chenxue blinked at Ling Tian with her big watery eyes.
"No." Ling Tian's decisive words made Mu Chenxue no longer interested at all.
"Besides, I want to criticize you as a teacher."
ha
Mu Chenxue suddenly looked nervous.
"Have you not practiced well recently?"
Hearing this, Mu Chenxue pursed her lips, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Ling Tian looked at her like this and couldn't help but touch her head with his hand.
"If you act like this, if Weishi is in danger in the future, how can you help me? Please do your best. Weishi will have more protection in the future."
Hearing this, Mu Chenxue's eyes lit up. He immediately hugged Ling Tian's arm.
"Disciple understands. Disciple will definitely work hard."
"Have you used up the elixir?" Ling Tian looked at Mu Chenxue fondly.
"No."
"If you don't have any more, tell your teacher."
"Okay. Thank you, Master."
At this moment, Mu Chenxue was extremely happy.
Although she didn't understand when Ling Tian's attitude towards her became as good as it is today, Mu Chenxue felt very satisfied and happy with this feeling of being needed.
Not long after, Xu Wanan had people sort out all the general accounts of Changqing Pavilion and send them to the main hall.
Later, the list of information about the pigeons was also compiled.
Looking at the full account books and lists placed in front of him, Ling Tian suddenly felt dizzy.
"Xu Wanan, check the accounts."
"Yes, Lord Cult Leader."
Xu Wan'an immediately called someone in, and then stood aside, waiting for Ling Tian's instructions.
"Bring out the Kamikaze Sect's accounts for me to take a look at."
"yes."
Xu Wanan hurriedly urged those responsible for checking the accounts to find them quickly.
They were quick to swipe through an account book, and in just a short while, they sorted out all the accounts related to the Kamikaze Sect and Evergreen Pavilion.
"Master Cult Leader, these are the accounts between the Kamikaze Sect and Evergreen Pavilion. Please take a look at them."
Ling Tian took the account and looked through it.
"In accordance with the order of the list, sort out all the accounts for me."
Xu Wanan urged again, and the group of people lowered their heads to investigate and organize. After a while, one portion was prepared.
Ling Tian looked through the accounts seriously.
Although it is true that I am looking for clues, I also want to take the opportunity to see how the operation of Evergreen Pavilion is going.
After all, this will be a sect under the Xuanming Sect from now on, so it’s important to have some confidence in your heart.
Looking through the accounts between the Kamikaze Sect and the Evergreen Pavilion, Ling Tian did not find that the Evergreen Pavilion overcharged the Kamikaze Sect's tribute.
The transactions in the books are very clean and well-documented.
It is unknown whether other people in Evergreen Pavilion have received additional money from the Kamikaze sect in private.
"Xu Wanan, I would like to ask you, do the people in Changqing Pavilion collect tribute from other sects in private?"
Xu Wanan looked at a loss. After all, how could there not be such a thing
"Reporting to the leader, yes. But not many, and not as serious as other sects."
"Really? What happens next?" Ling Tian wanted to continue to hear Xu Wanan's views on these matters.
What does Xu Wanan have to say? Because he is also one of these people.
Since he became the elder of the Evergreen Pavilion until now, his sects have paid him personal tributes. So, let him have his say. What opinion could he have
"It seems that you want everyone in Evergreen Pavilion to become a cancer of corruption?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Wanan almost died of fright.
This hat is too big. Even if he died ten thousand times, it would not be enough to gain forgiveness.
"Master Cult Master, I was wrong. I am guilty. From now on, I will definitely deal with these matters seriously and seriously. I will never tolerate it."
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, then put down the account book in his hand and picked up the accounts of another sect and started reading them.
Xu Wanan didn't say anything when he saw Ling Tian. He immediately turned around, exhaled heavily, and casually wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Canglong Gang." When Ling Tian looked through this account, he obviously felt something was different.
He took the Kamikaze Sect's account book and compared it with the Canglong Gang's.
I found that the book was not as clean as the Kamikaze book.
Moreover, there were several months when the amount of tribute paid suddenly soared.
"What's going on?" Ling Tian threw the account in front of Xu Wanan.
Xu Wanan looked panicked again.
He glanced at the Canglong Gang's account books and then spoke.
"Master Leader, we collect tribute on a monthly basis. We charge 30% of the total monthly profit of each sect. The reason why it has soared in the past few months is because the Canglong Gang is rich and makes a lot of money. ah."
Ling Tian did not speak. Because of the source of sufficient oil and water, it was recorded relatively carefully above.
Soon, Ling Tian read through all the accounts on the list. And compared them with each other.
As for the results of the comparison
Ling Tian already knew it in his heart.
Now he took the list previously reported by Xu Wanan and carefully compared it with the list sent by Fei Ge.
Five more suspected sects were quickly identified.
"The Kamikaze Sect, the Canglong Gang, the Wolf King Guild, the Qinglei Village, and the Gale Helm."
These have had frequent correspondence with Evergreen Pavilion in recent times.
He is also a very submissive person on the surface, but secretly hates Evergreen Pavilion deeply.
More importantly, they are the biggest beneficiaries besides Shen Wanqing's disappearance.
Why do you say this
It can be seen from the information in the ledger that the tribute property of the five gangs is very simple compared with other sects.
It's not like other sects paying tribute at all. In addition to money, there are other items under their sect's jurisdiction.
Such as wine, food, fruits and vegetables, jewelry, etc.;
This also shows that the five gangs have not received the attention of Evergreen Pavilion. Therefore, there are very few categories that can be operated.
As a result, the gang's fuel and water will be insufficient.
But if Shen Wanqing disappears, Evergreen Pavilion will lose its pearl, or it will be in chaos.
In this way, it is entirely possible for them to obtain new operating rights, or even directly occupy these operating rights.
"Chenxue, come with me for a visit."
Ling Tian threw away the account book and walked out of the main hall with only two lists of names.
Seeing this, Xu Wanan hurriedly followed.
"Master Cult Master, where are you going?" Xu Wanan asked fearfully.
"kill!"
