Chapter 285: Careless Trust
Xuanyu Plain, inside the attic where the Taoist priests lived.
At this time, Ye Kui had already returned to the attic, and also walked to Jiang Zhijin's door and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
"What's going on? Could it be that Zhi Jin also went out?"
Ye Kui knocked on the door for a while before returning to his room.
"Maybe Zhi Jin also knows what is happening outside, just talk to Zhi Jin about it later, just rest and rest now, and continue to think about how to win when he fights with the Yuan Zhiji of Jianhui Gate in the future."
So Ye Kui, who was sitting in the straight chair, closed his eyes, and the Moon Blade Devouring Demon Mantis was also put on the table aside by Ye Kui.
At night, Jiang Zhijin could be regarded as returning to the door of the room where he lived.
"It's too casual to keep this letter."
When Jiang Zhijin opened the door, Jiang Zhijin saw a piece of paper that had been folded twice on the floor of the room.
Jiang Zhijin turned around and closed the door before picking up the paper, and when Jiang Zhijin saw what was written on the paper, Jiang Zhijin had to leave his room again.
Then Jiang Zhijin came to the door of the room where Ye Kui lived, and directly raised his hand and knocked on the door, after a while, the door opened, and Jiang Zhijin immediately walked in.
"Ye Kui, you must have known what happened on this side of the Xuanyu Plain today, and I only found out about it a little later."
"One of the disciples of the medium-sized Immortal Gate Formation Sect was suddenly killed, and the place of death was the area we passed through before we came to this attic.
Before the Jiuxuanmen monk who rushed to the scene took away the body of the dead monk, he also told the monks of the other immortal sects and sects around him that the Jiuxuanmen would find out the murderer who killed the monk of the Jinmin Sect before the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference officially began."
Ye Kui briefly summarized the more serious things that happened in Xuanyu Plain today.
"Well, what I learned today is the same, at that time, many monks said that the murderers were most likely those demon cultivators who came to participate in this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference."
Jiang Zhijin then said.
"Zhi Jin, I was also at the scene at the time, but when I got there, the other monks of the Immortal Sect had already surrounded the place, and I only saw the body of the dead monk when the monks of the Nine Xuanmen persuaded the other monks at the scene to disperse.
The other monks in that meeting were all saying that this kind of thing had never happened in the Heavenly Que Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, but this time something went wrong."
"Those monks are right, the previous Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Dharma Conference can be said to be very safe and orderly, and the monks who participated in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Dharma Conference would not do that kind of stupid thing to kill other monks."
"Then Zhi Jin, do you mean that you also think that those demon cultivators who came to participate in this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference killed the monk of the Array Sect?"
"Ye Kui, according to the previous situation, the suspicion of those demon cultivators is indeed the greatest, after all, it happened that this kind of thing happened during the time when those demon cultivators came to participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference.
However, I still have an opinion, that is, some monks want to take the opportunity to make trouble, and then throw the black cauldron on the demon cultivator, but I can't figure out why they did this for a while, this is the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference held by many large immortal sects.
Once all the big immortal sects unite to thoroughly investigate this matter that is equivalent to a big face, then when the results come out, that or those guys who are planning and carrying out this matter behind the scenes will definitely not be able to escape."
Jiang Zhijin said seriously.
"However, it did happen, and the Nine Xuanmen also promised those monks on the scene that they would investigate the matter before the start of this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, I think we can just sit back and wait for the results."
"Ye Kui, then you still told me so much just now, by the way, I was only called over by my uncle and uncle before, and some of the Qianxi Taoist priests were also called over to say some things like me.
As for what you said just now, it was completely told to me by the other senior brothers who returned to the attic, but none of them had seen those demon cultivators who came to participate in this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference
Ye Kui, have you seen those demon cultivators?"
"No, when I went to the scene, I only saw the other monks who came to the Xuanyu Plain on the Flying Dharma Boat, and I didn't see the demon cultivators who came to participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference.
However, I accidentally found two flying magic boats belonging to demon cultivators, and at that time, I also went up to the deck of one of the flying magic boats belonging to demon cultivators to take a look, and then I was even more sure that those two flying magic boats really belonged to demon cultivators.
It wasn't until I left the area where the Flying Boat was parked that one of the monks of the Jinmin Gate had died, and I finally came back here."
Ye Kui responded to what he saw.
"Ye Kui, the current Nine Xuanmen monks have strengthened their vigilance, just now when I passed through the corridor and looked out the window, I saw thousands of Nine Xuanmen monks walking under the attic where we lived, this should be Jiuxuanmen's fear that something similar to the killing of the Jinminmen monk will happen.
That's why the Nine Xuanmen monks were sent to patrol the places where other immortal sects and sect master monks lived, maybe not only here, I think there are a certain number of Nine Xuanmen monks patrolling the entire Xuanyu Plain where the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference is held.
I didn't look at Jiuxuanmen so strictly before, but now it's like a remedy or a show, but I don't know if it's useful."
Jiang Zhijin said this, also indicating that this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference happened at the killing of the monk, and the incident may not end so simply.
"Who knows, I just hope that the Nine Xuanmen can say and do it, but I think of one thing, Zhi Jin, if this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference is forced to stop, will the bet between you and Yuan Zhiji be postponed or will it end there?"
Ye Kui suddenly had an idea, and felt that if this was really the case, then he might not have to fight with the Yuan Zhiji of Jianhui Gate.
"Huh? This one... This may have this possibility, no matter how big the bet between me and Yuan Zhiji is, it can't be bigger than the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference.
However, I don't think the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference will stop here, after all, at the beginning of the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, representatives of various large immortal sects will show up."
Jiang Zhijin thought for a while before answering Ye Kui.
"It seems that the matter should be resolved, so I still have to fight with Yuan Zhiji."
Ye Kui also understood what Jiang Zhijin meant, now it was just a large Immortal Gate Nine Xuanmen investigating the murderer who killed the monk of the Array Minmen, if the Nine Xuanmen failed to catch the murderer at the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, then the other large Immortal Gates on the scene would also take action.
Then Jiang Zhijin left Ye Kui's house, and at this time Ye Kui reached into the dense branch of a small bonsai, and when Ye Kui withdrew his hand, there was already a small dark red mantis on the back of his hand.
"You should have been left at the scene at that time, so that you should have discovered something, and there is one more thing I didn't tell Zhi Jin, there was no obvious demonic energy left in the place where the Jinmen monk died before.
There is some obvious demonic aura in another place where the stone bricks on the ground are broken, if it is you, then you can definitely determine whether it was the demon cultivator who killed the monk of the Array Minmen.
However, there were too many monks at that meeting, so I had to give up this plan, and now I will continue to look at the efficiency of the Nine Xuanmen."
Ye Kui said that, and put the Moon Blade Devouring Demon Mantis on the table again.
At this time, the elders of the Nine Xuanmen Monks of the Xuanyu Plain were gathering in an underground secret room and talking.
"How's that incident going in the Jinmen Gate?"
"It's not easy to do, when our disciples thoroughly examined the corpse of the dead monk in the Jinmin Gate, they found that the fatal wound on the corpse was pierced through the heart with a sharp weapon, which can be described as a one-hit killing, and the dead monk didn't even have a chance to resist."
"I heard that it was the demon cultivator's hand on that Jinmin Sect monk?"
"The evidence is insufficient, besides, when our Nine Xuanmen disciples arrived at the scene, the body of the disciple of the Jinmin Sect was still warm, and the disciples of the Nine Xuanmen Sect at the scene did not find any obvious demonic qi next to the dead Jinminmen disciple."
"Old man, no matter what you find, old man just wants to know if you can dare to do that in this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference
Find out the guy who did such a bad thing? That guy gave us a slap in the face, and we have to respond."
These Nine Xuanmen elders were also some of them who had just been gathered, and the other Nine Xuanmen elders had already begun to lead the Nine Xuanmen monks to investigate in the Xuanyu Plain.
"Please calm down first, the Great Elder is here."
At this time, a certain elder of the Nine Xuanmen walked into this secret room, and then said to the elders of the Nine Xuanmen who were standing together.
After a while, the Great Elder of the Nine Xuanmen walked into the secret room calmly, he didn't really care about the death of the monk in the Jinmin Sect.
The gray-haired man was a little old, and he looked like he needed to be on crutches, but he walked very steadily, after all, he was not a mortal but a monk.
"Calling you here is not for you to discuss nonsense here, the other nonsense has been sent back to Jiuxuanmen, now you can honestly listen to my arrangement, don't make your own decisions."
After the Great Elder of the Nine Xuanmen finished speaking, he sat on the straight mahogany chair that the other Nine Xuanmen elders had prepared for him.
"Great Elder, we know the rules, but we do have some suggestions that might be helpful in the matter of the death of the Min Sect disciple."
"I... I think it's better to listen to the Great Elder's arrangements first."
"Although the Great Elder gives the order, we will definitely do it."
"That's right, there have been no mistakes in what the Great Elder said in the past, instead of groping around, it is better to listen directly to the Great Elder's arrangements."
"Actually, I also think that the Great Elder must have made up his mind, otherwise the Great Elder would not have said it so directly, so we still have to believe the Great Elder as before."
After a while, the other elders in the secret room agreed to do what the Great Elder had just walked in would do.
"It's not that I'm talking about you, you guys are sometimes too grassy, but it's also beneficial, anyway, it seems to me that as long as things don't happen, then we can quickly catch that guy who is making trouble in the Xuanyu Plain.
Then listen well, and then you will do this..."
Then the Great Elder of the Nine Xuanmen told the other elders in the secret room about his plan.
After the Great Elder of the Nine Xuanmen announced his plan, the faces of those sitting around the long table all showed different expressions, some were puzzled, some were helpless, and some directly stared at each other with wide eyes and didn't know what to say.
"But... But Great Elder, do we really want to remove those Nine Xuanmen disciples who are guarding in other immortal sects, sect residence areas, and other areas? If another monk from another immortal sect or sect is killed, won't we be able to control the scene at the first time?"
However, there was an elder of the Nine Xuanmen who still dared to raise his head and questioned the great elder of the Nine Xuanmen.
The elder who objected to the proposal looked to be about thirty years old, but his actual age was already beyond his appearance, and the other elders were older.
"You don't think you should do that?"
But after the Great Elder heard what the other elder said, the Great Elder did not answer the elder's doubts, but directly asked the other party.
"Great Elder, I agree with your other arrangements, but I only disagree with what you said about letting all the Nine Xuanmen disciples who just stood guard here come back."
"Are you confident that you can catch the murderer who killed the disciple of the Jinmin Sect?"
"Great Elder, the teacher said, I'm not very sure, but I just think that we should look for that murderer while also protecting the other monks who came to Xuanyu Plain to participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, instead... And not—"
The Nine Xuanmen Elder who had put forward his opinion was a little hesitant when he said this.
The other elders around him also looked at each other, and some of the elders also frantically gestured to the elder who raised the objection, signaling that the elder not to be iron-headed.
"Keep talking, I'm listening."
The Great Elder waited for a while and found the one on the other side
The elder who had objected to the suggestion still did not say the second half of the sentence, so the Great Elder began to urge the elder.
"Great Elder, we shouldn't use the lives of other monks as bait in order to catch that murderer as soon as possible, this is really not something that a large immortal sect would do."
After being urged by the Great Elder, the elder who had made the objection finally said the second half of the sentence.
Then the other elders around were also startled, so the elders either lowered their heads or looked away, pretending not to hear what the elder who had suggested objections to the Great Elder had said.
"What's your name?"
At this point, the Grand Elder suddenly asked for the name of the elder who had objected.
"Great Elder, my name is Pan Rong."
Even though the elder named Pan Rong had a bad premonition, he still said his name to the Great Elder.
"Elder Pan, I don't seem to have any impression of you, you should have just become an elder of the Nine Xuanmen for a short time, right?"
"The Great Elder is right, I was just promoted to the position of Elder of the Nine Xuanmen by the Sect Master a few months ago."
"Well, that's right, you really have to let the master know about this.
However, Elder Pan, you don't know, I also told several other groups of elders about similar plans before, and they all did it, but there are also a few elders who immediately put forward different opinions when they heard my plan, but they only persisted for a while and agreed with my plan."
When the Great Elder said this, he looked up at the other elders around him who were looking around with their heads bowed or looking around, and then at the elder named Pan Rong.
"Elders other than Pan Rong can leave here and go to carry out the plans I just told you, remember, don't do anything superfluous, everything will be as I say."
"Yes, Grand Elder."
"I'll understand."
After the Great Elder said this, the other elders in this secret room began to throw down Elder Pan Rong Pan and leave this secret room quickly.
Most of the elders who left this secret room looked at Elder Pan, who was still sitting on the straight chair, and some of the elders left this secret room with regretful looks at Elder Pan, who had been left behind by the Great Elder after making objections to the Great Elder.
Only a small number of the elders who had left here looked at Elder Pan with some schadenfreude in their eyes.
When only the Great Elder of the Nine Xuanmen and the Elder Pan of the Nine Xuanmen were left in this secret room, the inside of the secret room was very quiet, after all, neither of them spoke.
The Great Elder kept looking at the empty teacup on the table, while the Pan Elder tensed his body a little nervously, not knowing what to say.
"Pan Rong, do you know what is wrong?"
"Great Elder, I... I'm just saying what I think, and I'm not at fault."
Originally, Elder Pan wanted to say something like "I was wrong, and I will ask the Great Elder to punish me", but Elder Pan felt that he was really wrong in that way, after all, the objections and suggestions he had just said were from the perspective of a normal monk.
If that's wrong, then Elder Pan himself is willing to leave the Nine Xuanmen directly, and then do a casual cultivation in the south of the Tianque Continent.
"Panrong, it's good."
The Great Elder nodded lightly as he said these four words.
"Great Elder, I... I..."
At this time, Elder Pan thought that the Great Elder on the side might be a little angry, so Elder Pan inevitably stammered a little when he spoke.
"Pan Rong, in the future, you should not be an elder."
After the Great Elder finished saying those four words, he paused for a while before continuing to speak to Pan Rong.
"Great... The Great Elder... Even if you say so, I... I also have to ask the door master first, you should not change the decision that the door master has already made."
As soon as Elder Pan heard that the Great Elder was actually going to resign himself as an elder, his heart also began to panic, but Elder Pan was also a little unconvinced.
Even if Elder Pan knew that once he continued to rebel against the Great Elder, then
What awaited him might be even greater trouble, but that didn't stop Elder Pan from continuing to strengthen his heart.
When the sweaty Pan Rong replied to the Great Elder, the Great Elder suddenly put his left hand on the bottom of the table on his thigh.
"Master, did you hear that?"
Then he spread out his left hand, which was holding a piece of the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant that was shining with some light, and finally the Great Elder leaned forward slightly and said respectfully to the Sound Transmission Jade Pendant.
"Then do as I said before."
At this time, a voice came from the side of the Transmission Jade Pendant, and then the flickering Transmission Jade Pendant in the Great Elder's hand directly lost its light, and it seemed that the monk on the opposite side took the initiative to end the conversation.
"Great... Big... Great Elder, the one who spoke to Jade Perry just now was... But the master?"
Just now, Elder Pan also heard the voice of the sound transmission jade Perry, but Elder Pan still couldn't believe it, and always felt that he had heard it wrong, so Elder Pan asked.
"Pan Rong, you heard it right, until I entered this secret room just now, what we said was clearly heard by the door master."
"That's... This... What does that mean?"
"Pan Rong, I have already said it, and the sect master also agreed just now, you will come down from the position of elder in the future."
"Since... Since... The master of the door has agreed, so I will do it."
Pan Rong said with some disappointment.
"Pan Rong, in the future, you will follow me to do things, first understand what the Great Elder usually does and how to deal with some things, in addition to this, I will also help you improve your cultivation, after all, the Great Elder of the Nine Xuanmen is not something you can do in this realm."
With that, the Great Elder stood up and walked towards the stone door where the secret room was confined.
"Huh? I... This... Great Elder, what do you mean?"
This situation of suddenly falling to the bottom and being picked up fiercely made Elder Pan a little slow for a while.
"Pan Rong, let's go, the other elders have already started to get busy, you and I should take action, after all, there are some things that can't just look at the surface, deliberately slack off and sell the other party's flawed bait, to see if the other side will continue to bite."
"Yes, Great Elder!"
Elder Pan excitedly stood up from the straight up, and then walked quickly behind the Great Elder.
Pan Rong never thought that not only did he not offend the Great Elder by making objections to the Great Elder in front of the other Elders, but he was appointed as the successor by the Great Elder because of a blessing in disguise.
If this kind of thing was known to the other elders who had left this secret room just now, then those elders would definitely have repented of their intestines, and they would also be very envious of this Elder Pan Rongpan who had taken a shit luck.
In fact, Elder Pan didn't just pass the test once, the Great Elder had also tested others before that, and then he temporarily chose Pan Rong.
After that, the Great Elder had been secretly testing Pan Rong in various ways, and finally determined that this Pan Rong was indeed very suitable to succeed him and become the next Great Elder of the Nine Xuanmen.
In the middle of the night, Elder Pan Rongpan, who was yawning, finally returned to his place of residence.
After Elder Pan walked into his room and closed the door, Elder Pan walked to the table and sat down on a stool, then picked up the fruit bowl on the table and nibbled on it.
"The Great Elder and the Sect Master trust me so much, then I have to continue to work hard, so that I will not live up to the dignity of the Great Elder and the Sect Master."
Although the youngest elder in the Nine Xuanmen is gone, there will be one youngest great elder in the Nine Xuanmen in the future.
In Elder Pan's room there was an iron basin in which some clothes seemed to have been burned, and in addition to the ashes, there was a small amount of bloodstained clothing left in the iron basin.
