Chapter 71: Three Days of Horror (12)
"Life is going to be gone, what is this danger?" Ren Hengzhi said lightly just now, although he can be regarded as Wu Yan's father's henchman, but it is not someone else who died like this, but Wu Yan himself, what will his father do under his anger, Ren Hengzhi dare not guarantee that fate must always be grasped in his own hands!
Therefore, he waited here, waiting for the arrival of Yuntianhe!
"But you have to let me know if your stuff is of this value. Yun Tianhe naturally knew that the reason why the other party found him was not because of him, but because of the master behind him, Ximenjing, the head of Kunlun.
"Next year is the Council of Elders, and the things I have in my hands should be enough to make Elder Wuda unable to be re-elected, if we add the strength of the head of the sect and Second Elder Murong, whether our Great Elder Utuu can survive or not, I'm afraid it's also ...... between the two."
"What did you say?"
Before Ren Hengzhi finished speaking, Yun Tianhe's eyes lit up, but the young man beside him couldn't sit still anymore, looking at Ren Hengzhi with burning eyes.
Ren Hengzhi is Utu's cronies, otherwise Utu would not have handed over his only son to Ren Hengzhi's care. Ren Hengzhi didn't think about the risks of this mission, so when Wu Yan left in a hurry that day, he didn't hurry to follow, but he didn't know that a moment of negligence caused today's changes.
But Ren Hengzhi is not a person who is willing to accept his fate, instead of going back to face the unpredictable anger of Utu, it is better to change the court and throw himself into the door of the head Ximenjing.
When the new head was determined, Utu and Ximenjing competed, but in the end they were defeated by Ximenjing and only served as the great elder. If there is anyone in the sect who has the ability and need to take him in, the head Ximenjing is naturally the most suitable person, after all, although Utu failed to become the head of the sect as he wished, he still became the great elder in charge of the torture hall, and always has the power to resist the head of the sect.
Speaking of which, I have to introduce some of the current situations in the Kunlun Domain. These are also some of the things that will more or less exist in the various domains today, and they are also some institutional things left over from that brilliant civilization 10,000 years ago. It is said that in a domain dominated by a sect like the Kunlun Domain, a sect is a domain, the sect has unparalleled power, and the head of the sect is the master of a sect. But in fact, this is not the case, in the Kunlun Domain, the three ancestors of the Yuan Infant naturally have great authority, which is the accumulation of time and the suppression of the realm. But under this, in addition to the head, there is also a presbyterian council whose power is not inferior to that of the head, and the presbyterian council is led by the great elders.
At the time of the great changes, those who were lucky enough to not die and were not qualified to leave wanted to take refuge, and the only choice they could was to choose the nearest place. As a result, the members of these domains, which served as a refuge for those left behind, were extremely complex, and each domain was a microcosm of that civilization, but it had its own characteristics. The reason why the Kunlun Domain is dominated by the sect is because the generation of 10,000 years ago was the territory of the Kunlun sect, but there are still a lot of people who did not belong to the Kunlun sect in the Kunlun Domain, a place of refuge, and these people naturally brought some of the systems that they inherited from the front, and then slowly merged and evolved over the years, forming the current situation of the coexistence of the elder council and the head of the Kunlun Domain.
The original purpose of the existence of the Elder Council was to protect the rights and interests of those who did not belong to the Kunlun Sect as outsiders, which was also a matter of consensus between these outsiders and the high-level leaders of the Kunlun Sect. Up to now, although the Kunlun Sect has fused these outsiders, this fusion is only superficial, because the Council of Elders has always existed, and the family formed by these outsiders still has a lot of power in the Kunlun Domain. The Murong family is one of them.
The system of mutual restraint between the head of the sect and the great elder determined that it was impossible to have a harmonious relationship between Ximenjing and Utu. What's more, although Ximenjing and Utu are both in the Jindan period, Utu is a full ten years younger than Ximenjing, and no one can guarantee that this kind of thing will succeed, and ten years means that Utu has at least one more chance than Ximenjing, and there is one more possibility of success, after all, the younger you are, the easier it is to break through. If once Utu takes the lead in entering the Yuan Infant Period, the power of the Council of Elders he represents will skyrocket unprecedentedly after all, and it will directly affect the power in the hands of Ximenjing, and similarly, if Ximenjing takes the lead in breaking through the realm, Utu will also completely lose the strength to compete with it.
It is precisely with this kind of competition that on the surface, in the Kunlun Domain, Ximenjing and Utu are safe, but in fact, everyone knows that both of them are waiting for an opportunity, either to break through the realm first, or to find a way to defeat each other in one fell swoop.
Unlike the head of the sect, the nine elders of the Council of Elders are all elected regularly, and there is no head of the sect. However, it is precisely because it is elected by the people, and for this reason, the nine elders cannot be dismissed unless there is a very serious reason for the term of office, and the consent of more than half of the elders is required for each elder to go or stay. The Great Elders, in particular, require the unanimous opinion of more than two-thirds of the elders. This is different from the head of the sect who can decide to stay with the ancestor's words.
Therefore, Utu and Ximenjing each have their own advantages in their hands, no matter who can take the other party lightly, it is too difficult to find a chance to defeat the other party with one blow, and now the two can only hope to break through to the Yuan infant stage faster, and suppress each other with the advantage of cultivating the upper level.
And this time, Ren Hengzhi's rebellion gave Ximen Jing a great opportunity!
Like Ren Hengzhi, Yun Tianhe is also Ximenjing's confidant, although Yun Tianhe is only the second senior brother of Kunlun, but he is the only disciple of Ximenjing now, compared to the Kunlun senior brother who has been in retreat all the year round, Yun Tianhe undoubtedly has a stronger power among the disciples, and also has a stronger ability to deal with the world. For this reason, Yun Tianhe is very clear about Ren Hengzhi's value, and he also attaches great importance to his refuge this time, if he can really get something from him this time that is unfavorable to the Great Elder of Utu, in the next general election of the Council of Elders, Ximen Jing will undoubtedly be able to do a lot of things.
And similar to Yun Tianhe's thoughts, Murong Chong, the eldest prince of Murong beside Yun Tianhe, naturally looked forward to knocking Utu into the dust, and it was best to disappear forever. In this way, his father, as the second elder, was able to take over the position of the Great Elder.
In fact, the position of the Great Elder should have been his father's, but when Wu Yan completely consolidated the cultivation of the Jindan Great Perfection and was praised by the three great ancestors as "the monk who is most likely to break through to the Yuan Infant Stage within a hundred years", his father failed to attack the Yuan Infant Stage again. The group of members of the Council of Elders changed their minds and elected Utu as the Great Elder instead, after all, for their relatively independent Council of Elders, a strong Great Elder would undoubtedly be able to help them obtain more resources in the Kunlun Domain.
Not long ago, Murong Chong's father once again failed to attack the Yuan infancy, and there was almost no possibility of re-entering in this life. Murong Chong's father finally gave up the principle of the family's independence from the sect, and began to consciously befriend the head of Ximen Jing, in order to maintain the status of the Murong family in the Kunlun Domain after his death. This time, Yun Tianhe and Murong Chong's companionship was a tacit negotiation between Ximen Jing and Murong Chong's father.
It can be said that the reason why Murong Chong's father failed to attack the Yuan Infant Stage this time was because he felt the pressure of Utu, and he was in a hurry to break through the realm when he was not fully prepared, so that after the failure, he cut off the possibility of cultivating to improve.
For this reason, Murong Chong's hatred for Utu is almost undisguised!
Murong Chong also knows who Ren Hengzhi is, he has been true to Ren Hengzhi from the beginning today, but in fact, it is because Ren Hengzhi is Utu's henchman and dog's leg!
But what Murong Chong didn't expect was that Wu Yan was dead! And Ren Hengzhi, the confidant of the Great Elder, who was originally tasked with protecting Wu Yan, would choose to defect at this moment, take refuge in the head, and in order to gain the trust of the head, he even accepted an unexpected letter of surrender!
"Hehe, Brother Ren is really far-sighted!" Murong Chong also changed his attitude towards Ren Hengzhi when he was happy, but his words had a hint of ridicule.
"Alas...... The world is difficult, the little brother is not like Murong Gongzi who has a huge family to rely on, we lonely souls and wild ghosts, if we don't have a few more hearts, we can't go today!" Ren Hengzhi said with emotion.
"Okay! Let's talk about these things in detail after we return to the sect! Now let's think about how to complete the task assigned by the sect. Yun Tianhe naturally knew that Ren Hengzhi couldn't bring those important things with him, not to mention that today's meeting between the two of them could only be regarded as a preliminary meeting, and how to act, he had to discuss it with the head after he went back!
"Senior Brother Yun is right, we may not be able to go back this time, what's the use of discussing these at this time?" Ren Hengzhi answered.
"Is that 'man of destiny' really so difficult to deal with? In that case, isn't Ling'er very dangerous now?" Murong Chong was born in a family and had a good upbringing, even if he still had a little contempt for the "man of destiny" in his heart, but the death of the "black and white murderer" still made him cautious, but when he thought of Ling'er, he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Haha, Murong Gongzi can rest assured! Now that Ling'er's communication talisman has been activated, it will not be life-threatening, at most, it will be controlled by others. Ren Hengzhi also took the opportunity to laugh at Murong Chong.
"Brother Ren, what do you think of this 'man of destiny'?" Yun Tianhe asked solemnly.
Ren Hengzhi also felt Yun Tianhe's solemnity, was silent for a moment, and replied: "Yin and Yang Gu is dead, Zhang San and Li Si must have suffered an accident, plus the previous Ling'er and Senior Brother Ma, so it seems that this 'man of destiny' is not easy to deal with." ”
Yun Tianhe nodded, he also knew this kind of thing, there was no need for the smart Ren Hengzhi to repeat it, he was waiting for Ren Hengzhi's next words.
Ren Hengzhi didn't let him wait longer, and then said again: "But, you have to see it too!"
"What are you looking at?" Yun Tianhe asked.
"Look at whether Zhang San and Li Si arrived earlier or later than Wuyan......"
