CHAPTER XVII

Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "How's the survey?"

"Returning to Master, these four massacres that occurred around the sect, after the disciples checked on the spot, they felt that they should be the work of evil cultivators."

"Hmm!" The man sitting on the top of the hall was surprised.

"You tell the teacher how they died at that time." There was a hint of uneasiness in the man's words.

"Yes, Master. They all had their faces filled with fear, and they were drained of their blood and died, leaving behind a shriveled skeleton. Each corpse must have a finger hole in its body, and there are no other wounds on it. There were no signs of being turned over in the house at the scene, which can be ruled out as robbery. Destroying men, women, and children overnight is not like a vendetta. Based on the above points, the disciple believes that it should not be done by people in the secular world, but more like people in the cultivation world, and that such a vicious method is nothing more than evil cultivation."

After speaking, there was a long silence in the hall. The man sat quietly thinking about something, his face unusually calm.

After a long time, the man in the hall spoke: "It seems that there are some things that cannot be avoided, you go and gather all the elders of the sect to discuss it quickly."

Hearing the instructions of the man in the hall, Li Lin knew that this matter was not trivial, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately took the order: "Disciple, go and inform the elders to come to the main hall to discuss matters quickly."

The originally empty hall now has two more rows of nine seats, and one person sits on each seat.

"It's been a long time since we've sat together, I don't know why the sect master, senior brother, is in such a hurry to call us all here." Before the buttocks were hot, the elder in the last row of chairs on his left hand couldn't wait to ask.

"Lao Jiu is in a hurry, if you come, you will be safe, and the matter will definitely let you know." At this time, the elder sitting in the last chair of the right row spoke.

"Quiet."

The first elder in the right row said solemnly, and the two people who wanted to speak were like mice seeing cats, and immediately shut up obediently and did not speak. The person who spoke was none other than the second elder of the sect, who was in charge of all matters in the sect, and was the most powerful person in the Yunxiao Sect except for the sect master and the great elder. Therefore, there is a temperament that is not angry and self-assured.

Although it is the same as the office of an elder, it is also divided into real and virtual office. The Second Elder was the most powerful elder of the sect among all the elders, except for the Great Elder, and what he said was sometimes more effective among the disciples than what the sect master said. The reason is that everyone is afraid of him, after all, he is narrow-minded, and no one in the sect knows about his character of retribution, so even the other elders are not willing to provoke him.

Seeing these two goods kicked on the iron plate again, although the other elders looked plain on their faces, they were actually already schadenfreude with a smile in their eyes. Every time the elders get together, the two of them will always squeeze each other, and then they will gorgeously bump into the muzzle of the second elder and be reprimanded, and then the two will be quiet and silent like invisible people, but the next time the two will continue to bump into the muzzle of the second elder like headless flies.

After the appetizer of the old eight and nine, the originally tense atmosphere in the main hall was relieved, and the sect master slowly opened his mouth to talk about business.

"This time, I urgently called the elders to come to the main hall to discuss important matters." The Sect Master's tone became unusually serious.

All the elders present also smelled a hint of something wrong from the sect master's tone.

"Sect Master, Senior Brother, just say something, isn't it that group of Tianyun Pavilion's turtle grandsons who are here to find fault again, no, I'll take the disciples to smoke them now." At this moment, it is the fifth elder Cai Ao who is speaking loudly, he is five big and three rough and hot-tempered, he doesn't like to beat around the bush when he speaks straightly, and he doesn't like to disobey yin and yang, and the person he hates the most is the second elder, who is absolutely loyal to the sect, and he is going to go out when he stands up.

"The Fifth Elder is back!" The sect master shouted unhappily, every time it is like this, as long as he hears that there is something in the sect, he will first think that it is Tianyun Pavilion, and then he will bring people to cause trouble.

The Sect Master's sudden gloomy face frightened the Fifth Elder, and he didn't dare to sit back in his chair again. However, it seems that the anger in my heart has not disappeared, and it is estimated that I will take my disciples to Tianyun Pavilion to find trouble in private.

"This matter really has nothing to do with other sects, but something is wrong with our sect."

"If we don't deal with it as soon as possible, we may endanger this case."

For the first time, the elders present had surprised expressions on their faces. The Yunxiao Sect has been here for thousands of years since the founding of the sect, and it has been smooth sailing, and there is nothing major. Although there have been constant conflicts with the surrounding Tianyun Pavilion, they have been at peace all these years. The sect master suddenly said such a heavy sentence, and the elders also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"What does the Sect Master say," Second Elder Hao Yan asked.

"Evil cultivator!"

In just two words, it was like a heavy mountain pressing down on the elders, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Seriously!" The second elder said with some suspicion in his tone.

Although none of the elders present here have ever seen evil cultivators, nor have they experienced the great and tragic battle between good and evil ten thousand years ago. However, the horror of evil cultivation is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every cultivator in the cultivation world. In the end, our side won, but it can only be said to be a pyrrhic victory. If it weren't for the fact that the number of evil cultivators was twice as small as ours, it would not be certain who would win or lose in the end, but the viciousness and madness of the evil cultivators would have remained forever. After this battle, the evil cultivators basically disappeared in the cultivation world, and if it were a few years later, it would be us who might perish.

"This matter will definitely not be wrong." The sect master said with a heavy face.

For a while, the elders had sad faces and did not say a word.

"In that case, I don't know if the sect master's senior brother can have a way to deal with it."

At this time, Zhuge Xiao, the fourth elder known as Zhiduoxing, spoke.

"To tell you elders, I called you here this time to find a perfect solution to this thorny problem."

"You can know what the evil cultivator is, whether he is a person or a group of people, what he is doing in a poor and remote place like ours, and why he chose us here." The four elders said all the questions in their hearts in one breath.

"I don't know anything yet, judging from the information I have now, the cultivation of the evil cultivator should not be too high, because the people who have been killed by him so far are still some laymen who have not cultivated."

"Vulgar?" When the four elders heard this, they fell into deep thought.

Running all the way here just to kill the laity, this evil cultivator's method of action is really strange.

Evil cultivation mainly relies on absorbing strong essence blood to quickly improve the strength of cultivation. But only killing some laymen, the little essence blood absorbed will not help much to improve cultivation. Then why would he waste his mind and energy doing such a thankless task?

"Could it be that the evil cultivator was seriously injured and his strength was greatly damaged, and he had no ability or strength to kill the cultivator, or it was a powerful animal, and in the end he could only make this strategy to slowly recover his strength."

The four elders slowly voiced their guesses.

"I'm skeptical, too, but I'm worried that there will be variables in it." The Sect Master said.

"Sect Master, Senior Brother, is he worried that there is fraud in it, and he is afraid that the evil cultivator is actually deliberately luring us into the bait by showing weakness with strength."

The suzerain's jaw is the first to say.

"The four elders have a countermeasure."

"Don't hide it from the sect master, senior brother, I really came up with three countermeasures. Which one to use depends on the strength of the evil cultivator's cultivation."

The words of the four elders immediately aroused the interest of all the elders present.

"Then Elder Lao Si will talk about it in detail." The sect master secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the hanging stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"The first strategy is actually very simple, we all came out of the nest and found the evil cultivator to destroy him directly."

"The second strategy is to find a way to drive the evil cultivators out of our sphere of influence."

"The third strategy is to introduce the evil cultivators into our opponent's sphere of influence and provoke a fight between them. In this way, we can not only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but also reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"Good...! The four elders are worthy of the wisdom of the sect, and the idea is that there are a lot of them, and even the Yin people are so leaky."

Fifth Elder Cai Ao couldn't help but stand up and clap his hands when he heard this.

The fourth elder glared at the fifth elder Cai Ao fiercely with a dark face, and the fifth elder immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and quickly lowered his head and sat down.

"But these three strategies have a fatal weakness, that is, we need to find the position of the evil cultivator, so that we can act according to the situation, otherwise everything is empty talk." The four elders continued.

The sect master nodded in agreement, "Very good, the four elders' strategy is very thorough. As for the location of the cult, I think it will be up to the people sent to carry out the plan to find out. It saved a lot of people and bad things, and alarmed the evil cultivators. I don't know which elder would like to volunteer."

Having said that, the sect master actually had the best candidate in his heart. The sharp eyes fell on the four elders alone, waiting for him to come forward.

"I think the fourth elder is the best person to do this, he came up with the strategy, and only he can use it handily, even if something happens at that time, he can quickly come up with a countermeasure and act at the opportunity." The straightforward eyes of the sect master, how could the second elder Haoyan not know, and said casually.

Seeing that the second elder agreed, the other elders immediately followed suit, "The fourth elder is indeed the best candidate."

"Except for the four elders, no one can take on this important task."

"The Four Elders will definitely be fine."

Under the leadership of the second elder, the other elders also unanimously elected the fourth elder, and the sect master was very satisfied.

Seeing this scene, the four elders couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts, the pit dug by the sect master senior brother had to jump by himself, and he had to jump in happily.

In the end, the four elders had to stand up and take the order.

"I don't feel at ease if the four elders go alone, for the sake of safety, which elder is willing to accompany the four elders to go together."

"Senior Brother Sect Master, I'm willing to go together", the first of the five elders stood up and grabbed the way.

It seemed that he had expected the Five Elders to do this, and the Sect Master directly ignored the Five Elders and continued to stare at the other Elders. Although the Fifth Elder Cai Ao was the most motivated, his tendony head was likely to spoil this operation. So after thinking about it, the sect master felt that it was better to find someone with strong adaptability to partner with the four elders.

It's a pity that except for the five elders, the other elders are all sitting in chairs, and none of them have the intention of standing up.

After waiting for a long time, the sect master didn't wait for the other elders to stand up, so he had to say, "I think I'll let the four elders decide for themselves."

The sect master kicked the ball to the four elders very slippery, and sat on the side to watch the excitement.

This plan is related to their own vital interests, and the four elders dare not be sloppy. Things are yellow, it's small, and if you explain yourself, you'll be big.

After looking around for a week, the four elders spoke, "Just the ninth elders."

Before the Ninth Elder could say yes, the Sect Master preemptively said, "There is Elder Lao Jiu."

After saying that, the sect master didn't give the Nine Elders a chance to refute, and it was settled.

When the other elders saw that the matter was decided, they all looked relieved. Then they all looked at the Nine Elders with gloating eyes.

"I'll take it, the fourth brother doesn't take you to play like this, who is not looking for me to do such a dangerous thing with you."

The Nine Elders complained to the Fourth Elder with resentment, he really had shit luck today. Usually a good thing can't be grabbed, but I didn't expect this kind of unlucky thing to come to the door automatically.
