Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Conspiracy in Dabi
"Offended King Ning? Are you talking about the head of the Fengyu Sacred Academy, King Ning Zhao Jieli, a small family in a remote town, how dare he offend King Ning?"
Bai Qiufeng was stunned when he heard this, revealing a look of disbelief.
The biggest threat of the Dragon and Tiger Sect in the Northern Jin Kingdom is actually not the Li family and the Jiang family, the two wealthy families, but the royal family far away in Wudu City.
In the Northern Jin Dynasty, the powerful sect forces were often on one side, with a transcendent status and disobedience to the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Especially a sect like the Dragon and Tiger Sect, which has been inherited for thousands of years and ranks among the top in strength in the entire northwest territory, will not take the Northern Jin Dynasty court seriously.
Over the years, many sects have risen strongly, either occupying the mountain as the king, or dominating one side, following the example of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, ostensibly submitting to the court of the Northern Jin Dynasty, but in fact they are self-contained, with their own towns and territories, and they do not care about the orders of the imperial court at all.
The royal family of the Northern Jin Dynasty naturally dared not speak out against these sects, although the power of the imperial court was strong, but it was only for civilians and ordinary organizations, most of the sects like the Dragon and Tiger Sect had a certain background, and there were powerful people in the sect, and they did not dare to provoke lightly.
It is precisely because of this that the imperial court began to establish the Fengyu Sacred Academy in Wudu City, the capital of the Northern Jin Dynasty, as a descendant sect of the imperial court to cultivate, spent a lot of financial and material resources, recruited masters from the northern Xinjiang, and finally developed the Fengyu Sacred Academy into a huge sect that confronted the Dragon and Tiger Sect side by side in the past hundred years.
Although the Dragon and Tiger Sect has a profound heritage and has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, it has never been able to develop because of its complacency and seclusion, and it has been forced by the Fengyu Holy Academy step by step, and it has almost been forced to a desperate situation.
If it weren't for Bai Qiufeng's reckless risk, winning over some big families in time to increase his financial and material resources, I am afraid that he would have been eaten away by Fengyu Holy Courtyard little by little.
"Could it be that these people from the Ye family don't know about such a behemoth as King Ning who offended?" Bai Qiufeng never dared to believe what Bai Chengfeng said.
Bai Chengfeng also said with a solemn expression: "If I don't investigate Ye Feng's details, I will definitely not accept him as a personal disciple, so I have sent people to Yinyue City, where the Ye family is located, to investigate the details of the Ye family, but the information about the Ye family is indeed not very detailed, according to the information I have obtained so far, I only know that the Ye family has been in Yinyue City for a long time, and it seems that as early as the founding of the Northern Jin Dynasty, it has been stored in that area!"
"It seems that King Ning is so concerned about a mere Ye family, he must have discovered some unknown secrets, take the wind, you send more manpower to pay attention to the movements of the Ye family at any time, and pay close attention to the Wudu City, if King Ning has any moves, you must report it to me in time!"
"Obey!" Bai Chengfeng was much more rare in front of his brother.
"The Li family and the Jiang family, it's up to them for the time being, just pay attention, a more important department like the Treasure Pavilion, don't fall into their hands!" Bai Qiufeng continued.
"You can rest assured about this matter, all the core departments in the Dragon and Tiger Sect have our henchmen, once the Li family and the Jiang family make any rash moves, we will definitely find out as soon as possible, but now we must not startle the snake, if the Li family and the Jiang family perceive that we are going to deal with them, give up their support for the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and switch to the Fengyu Sacred Courtyard, it will be very disadvantageous to us!" Bai Chengfeng said with an awe-inspiring expression.
Bai Qiufeng hesitated for a moment, suddenly remembered an extremely important fact, and hurriedly asked.
"This time the Nine Sects Trial is a matter of importance, you can choose the candidates to participate in the trial, the Li family and the Jiang family are going to go to six places, and we still have four places in our hands, these four places are very important, if you can compete for the first place, it will be easy to deal with these problems in the future!"
Bai Chengfeng nodded and said: "Two of the places, I have already determined, they are Ye Feng and Ning Jie, the cultivation of these two people, they have made great progress in the recent period, they should be able to get a good name, and the remaining two places will be decided by the sect master!"
Subsequently, the two brothers of the Bai family secretly discussed the matter of the nine trials in detail, and it was not until the sky was flooded with a glow that Bai Chengfeng quietly left the Sect Master's Palace.
After returning to the Treasure Pavilion, Bai Chengfeng found Yang Han non-stop.
As Ye Feng expected, he was highly expected by the sect master and Bai Chengfeng, if he could get a good ranking in this trial, Bai Chengfeng would definitely not stand idly by with his family.
However, before that, Bai Chengfeng also had other arrangements for Ye Feng, which was why he immediately found Yang Han.
Although Yang Han was quite surprised and puzzled by Bai Chengfeng's order, he had never liked to meddle in things, let alone get to the bottom of it, so after learning of Bai Chengfeng's order, he immediately rushed to Crouching Tiger Garden to discuss the matter with Ye Feng.
"Since Senior Brother Yang is here, please come in, the humble house is shabby, and please don't be surprised by Senior Brother Yang!"
Yang Han had just walked to the door of Ye Feng's stone house, and was hesitating how to tell Ye Feng about this. Ye Feng's voice had already come out.
Yang Han was not surprised by this, and directly pushed the door into the stone house, only to see a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and an imposing young man, sitting cross-legged on an extremely simple wooden board in the stone house with a smile.
"Senior Brother Ye lives in this kind of ghost place?" Yang Han was greatly surprised by the environment Ye Feng was in, he never thought that the cultivation environment of a genius disciple who was on par with himself would be so bad.
"What's wrong here?" Ye Feng was stunned when he heard this, looked at the furnishings in the stone house, and said a little speechlessly, "Senior brother, I am extremely fortunate to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain in the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and although this place is simple and remote, no one will disturb my cultivation!"
"I don't even have a decent bed, I will go out, let outsiders know how our Dragon and Tiger Sect treats the disciples of the sect with outstanding qualifications and talents, who else will come to our Dragon and Tiger Sect, no, when I go back, I must report this matter to the master and find you a new place to live!" Yang Han said reluctantly.
Yang Han's words made Ye Feng's heart warm, he didn't expect this senior brother, who seemed to be not amazing and didn't care about the world, to pay so much attention to his daily life.
In fact, Ye Feng's requirements for the cultivation environment were not as harsh as those of other disciples, and Yang Han was not a nosy person originally, and this time he was so annoyed by Ye Feng's residence, also because he favored Ye Feng very much, plus they all worshiped under the same master as disciples, and the relationship was naturally extraordinary.
If it is about the character of protecting the short, this senior brother is quite similar to Bai Chengfeng.
Although Ye Feng didn't want to trouble Yang Han, it was not good to continue to entangle with him on this matter.
"Senior brother came to me early in the morning, wouldn't he come to see where I live?" Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Uh!" Yang Han was stunned when he heard this, and it wasn't until Ye Feng reminded him that he remembered the purpose of coming to him this time.
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot about the important things!" Yang Han turned around, locked the door again, and then walked up to Ye Feng with a somewhat stern expression, and said in a low voice, "What does Senior Brother Ye think of this outer door competition?"
"Outer Gate Dabi?" Ye Feng didn't expect Senior Brother to come to him because of this matter, "What does Outer Gate Dabi think, I really haven't thought about this, among the outer disciples, isn't that Zhao Wan the one with the highest cultivation, and there are also some so-called top ten masters, their cultivation is also around the martial arts realm, and they can't pose a threat to me at all!"
"Hmph!" Yang Han let out a sneer, shook his head and said, "If you are an outer door master who is as simple as this, then you are very wrong!"
"Could it be that there will be any unexpected changes in it?" Ye Mo said in confusion, "Senior brother, don't sell it!"
"The truth is indeed not as simple as you imagined!" Yang Han seemed to remember something, and said in a somewhat excited tone, "I think back then, I also practiced to the Yuanwu Realm Triple early in the Outer Gate, and I thought that I could easily get the top spot in the Outer Gate Competition, but I didn't expect that two or three Outer Gate masters above the Yuanwu Realm suddenly appeared in the middle of the way, one of them was even the Yuanwu Realm Quadruple, and in the end, with my strength in the Yuanwu Realm Triple at that time, I only ranked third in the entire Outer Gate Competition?"
"Actually, this is the case, what does Senior Brother mean is that among the outer disciples, there are many disciples who hide their cultivation every year, and they don't show their skills until the outer door is in the big competition?" Ye Mo asked in surprise, "Why do these disciples do this, don't they want to join the inner gate earlier and get the generous treatment of the inner gate?"
"Actually, this matter is easy to explain!" Yang Han sighed and said, "The reason why these outer disciples who are willing to hide their cultivation will only show their skills when they are in the outer door competition, most of them are for the rewards of the sect, and the martial arts hall to which they belong after joining the sect, as long as they enter the top ten, these disciples will become the objects of attention of the three major martial arts, and they will be directly included in the martial arts hall for cultivation, and the treatment of the disciples of the martial arts hall is much better than that of the inner disciples, and they are a blockbuster in the outer gate competition, which is also for this reason!"
"In addition, there is a more important reason for the Jiang family and the Li family, they will arrange some of the disciples in the family with good qualifications and superb cultivation in the outer gate, once Dabi starts, they will let these disciples fight in a targeted manner, and take the opportunity to injure some civilian disciples with good qualifications from the Dragon and Tiger Sect, which will affect their future cultivation, so that the Bai family, to which the sect master belongs, will not be able to receive better disciples to enhance their own strength!"
Ye Mo heard Yang Han say this, and there were indeed a lot of waves in his heart, and his expression quickly became gloomy, he didn't expect that the Li family and the Jiang family would be able to make such indiscriminate means in order to control the Dragon and Tiger Sect!
