Yuan Miaozi and Shi An glanced at each other, nodded in unison, and secretly praised Yuan Chunzi for being a smart and intelligent person.

"Now that you know it, and our hearts are relieved, let's prepare for defense. After saying that, Yuan Miaozi prepared to leave with Shi An.

"Wait a minute, Senior Brother Yuan Miao. Yuan Chun called out to Yuan Miaozi and the others, "I still have a few things to ask, one is why you fled the sect, and the other is that Yun An is the disciple who escaped from the sect because he stole your sword?"

Yuan Miaozi knows that if she doesn't take the opportunity to explain this matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find an opportunity to explain it in the future. So he told him about Yun Shan's death, Qing Gu's deception of the sword, and the return of Yuan Daozhi to the sect, and as for how to escape from the sect and other secret matters, he omitted to talk about it.

Yuan Chunzi connected many things before and after, and then he suddenly realized, and said: "So, this disciple of yours, Yun'an, can enter and exit the mountain gate casually, as if entering the realm of no one, is because he is the Shi Yizhi who taught the formation?"

This time, Shi An continued: "Uncle Yu, as you said, the sect's mountain protection array is unbreakable for ordinary monks, but it is really not a problem for me. In fact, I also opened the Prison Tiger Cave, and I also released Uncle Shi from the mountain gate. I know why you are asking this question, please rest assured, I am a person of the Four Elephants in my life, and I am a ghost in the Four Elephants in death, and I will never do anything that harms the safety of the sect. ”

Yuan Chunzi nodded when he heard this, but then sighed again and said, "It seems that we will soon all become ghosts of the Four Elephants." I only hate how my apprentice uncle could pass on the position of sect master to Yuan Dao, but not to you, Senior Brother Yuan Miao, so that the Four Elephants Temple is now dark and in danger. Alas, instead of dying at the hands of others with grievances, it is really better to die vigorously for the return of the Four Elephants to the right path. ”

Yuan Miaozi and Shi An had already heard the meaning of his words, and before Shi An could speak, Yuan Miaozi said: "Yuan Dao has indeed gone too far, and the Four Elephant Views will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later, or shall we find some way to bring him down and set up another sect master?"

Shi Anxin sighed secretly, complaining that his uncle always failed in the power struggle, and his biggest problem was that he was straightforward and fast-talking. Yuan Chunzi is not simple, a little scheming made Uncle Shi fall down. It seems that even if Yuan Daozi is abolished, Uncle Shi may not be able to become the sect master, and once this matter is revealed, it must be him who is guilty, and Yuan Chunzi will definitely say that it is the senior brother who instigated to change the sect master.

The words that come out are the water that is spilled, and since it has been clarified, there is no need to hide it anymore. Yuan Miaozi informed Yuan Chunzi of the evidence of Yuan Daozi's crime, but under Shi An's hint, he did not say the names of Chen Qi and Tang Zhi.

"We can't enter the sect, so the matter of finding like-minded disciples in the sect will be left to you, and after winning the position of sect master, you will be the sect master. Yuan Miaozi said.

Shi An was even more shocked when he heard this, he was busy for a long time in order to let his uncle be the sect master, so that he could leave with peace of mind in the future, how could he give up the position of sect master to others now? He was about to speak, but was stopped by Yuan Miaozi.

"Yun An, I understand your intentions, I have already figured out this matter, I am not the material to be the sect master. The most qualified of the Elder Jiedan is Yuan Chun, and I think you know this as well, so don't say more. Yuanchun, don't shirk either, I'm dedicated to the Tao, I don't want to be distracted by power disputes, and the future of the Four Elephants still depends on you. ”

Yuan Chunzi did not shirk: "Senior brother, I also know that the burden of reviving the sect is difficult to pick, so you must give more guidance after the matter is completed." ”

This is the case, and it is useless to say more. Shi An thought for a while and said: "Senior Uncle Yuanchun, the Jihai Sect will come over in a few days, I have my own plan to retreat from the enemy, you can rest assured that you can go back to the sect and wait, if there is any new situation, you just need to go out of the mountain gate, and I can contact you immediately." ”

"Okay, I'll contact you anytime. Leave. "Yuan Chunzi returned to the sect.

Shi An and Yuan Miaozi also found a hidden place nearby, dug out a cave that could only meditate for two people, and Shi An simply arranged a barrier to cover up, and this became the residence of the two of them in the past few days.

At midnight on the third day, Shi An had already learned that Yuan Chunzi had walked out of the mountain gate through a divine sense that had been monitoring the movement of the mountain gate here, and immediately rushed over in a flying boat.

"Today, the Extreme Sea Sect has sent a war letter, and it will attack the sect in about three days. ”

"There are no cities and vassal sects affiliated with my sect to resist along the way?" Shi An knew that in the secular world, if a country was invaded by another country, there would inevitably be various forces of its own country to resist, and the main force among them must be the army of the imperial court stationed everywhere.

"It seems that you still don't know about the Immortal Cultivation Realm," Yuan Chunzi prompted: "There is no imperial court in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and the so-called country is only the sum of the spheres of influence of several sects, and the spheres of influence of the sects are only agreed between the sects. Therefore, the management of the city under its jurisdiction and the small gang is very loose, and there are no resident monks in it at all, and even the so-called city lord and gang leader are only elected by everyone, and then report to the sect, and the sect does not interfere at all. Therefore, whoever has the biggest fist among the sects will have a large sphere of influence. In this way, for cities and small gangs that are only residents, everyone is in charge, and they have no sense of family and country, and they will not easily participate in the war. As far as I know, in the past ten years, the twenty-seven cities and six sects and the four major chambers of commerce in the territory of the sect have a lot of resentment against the sect, and they are all based on Yuan Daozi's rampant expropriation. ”

"It's all rampant, and the sect is still so stuck?" Shi An was a little strange.

"This is the strange place, I think a small part of this levy was taken by him to his own family, and the other part was embezzled by the new hall master and deputy hall master under his hands. Alas, there is really no way to say this, in recent years, some laws of the sect have been abolished, or they are less than management, or they are artificially destroyed, or they are mere formalities, and some have even become an excuse for forcible seizure. For example, according to the rules of the sect, as soon as the inner disciples enter the sect, they must cut off contact with the family, especially the elders in the Yudan period, of course, this does not include the registered elders. Although Yuan Daozi had no connection with the Wei family on the surface after taking office, it is unknown how much benefit he gave behind his back. The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and your Uncle Yuanjin is also like this now. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this, what should we do next?" Yuan Chunzi quickly brought the topic back again.

"What is Yuan Daozi going to do now?" Shi An asked rhetorically.

"What else can he do if he dares to do something that he doesn't dare to be?" Yuan Chunzi said with some contempt: "Just now he discussed this matter with a few of our elders and said, 'How dare the Extreme Sea Sect ignore the agreement of the two ancestors and send troops to attack on their own? Maybe the act of detaining Elder Liu was a bit hasty in the first place, but why didn't you remind me in the first place? For the sake of now, I can only give him some benefits, and then send him back, maybe this can solve this crisis'." I told him that the Extreme Sea Sect issued an official battle letter this time, but it was not as simple as returning to the elders, it was determined to destroy the Four Elephants. When he heard this, he was a little panicked, so he wrote a letter to Song Chang and sent Yuan Jin to negotiate with the Jihai faction. ”

"Why didn't you send you? I think your judgment of current affairs is quite accurate, and you may have a better chance of winning if you go to negotiate. ”

"Hmph, send me there? Yuan Daozi I couldn't know better, he has always regarded me as the biggest threat to his power, and he didn't let me go over to negotiate, because he was worried that I would collude with the Jihai faction and drive him down to let me take charge of the sect, so he sent someone who was not so shrewd but would listen to him. ”

"Senior Uncle, I know the current situation, you go back to the sect first, and I will also go back to discuss the method with Uncle Yuan Miao, I will bother you to come over at this time tomorrow evening, and I will tell you our plan." ”

Half an hour after Yuan Chunzi returned to the sect, Shi An did not go back, but sneaked into the Four Elephants Temple.
