Volume 3, Chapter 15 [Unpleasant Deliberations]

Dihua Villa suddenly became tense in the following days, strengthened internal and external defenses, and even opened protections similar to the Great Sect Protection Array, which made many people in the door feel uneasy.

The elders who usually don't show up are all here at this time, and even the Yuanying Keqing Elder and Sick Scholar who many people don't know about also appeared, which also made many Dihua disciples feel excited, and many people speculated whether a sect war was about to break out.

Chen Fuzhi, Chen Qi and Zhou Hua, under the leadership of Wang Rui, devoted themselves to cultivation and didn't pay attention to these at all. This is Wang Rui's request for them, especially Zhou Hua, although people have calmed down, they are still unwilling.

Chen Fuzhi has broken through to the ninth layer of Qi training, Chen Qi is a small consummation of Qi training, Wang Rui has begun to be strict with them, hoping that they must further enhance their strength in the near future.

In addition to the necessary exercises and pills, Wang Rui also prepared life-saving means for them.

Chen Fuzhi obtained the Rune Treasure Lightless Shield, which could resist for a while even in the face of the monks in the late stage of foundation building. He himself didn't need these very much now, and with his Thunder System Technique and Yellow Dragon Skill, unless he met a Jie Dan Monk, he was sure enough to defeat his opponent.

Chen Qi also obtained a rune treasure, which was a fire-type rune treasure called "Leaving the Fire True Phoenix". After using it, it can make her give birth to fire-type wings, and she can fly quickly without relying on magic weapons. At the same time, when the wings are closed, a certain amount of protection can be formed, and all enemies who attack her will be counterattacked by the fire force, which can be said to be both offensive and defensive.

In addition to strengthening the cultivation of Yin Xuangong, Zhou Hua also needed to improve her actual combat ability, so the three of them accompanied her to practice actual combat during this time, so that she had no time to take care of the changes in the villa.

After a few days like this, Liu Yun came to Wang Rui and invited him to the meeting hall, where the fairy aunt and some immortal seniors seemed to have something to ask him.

"Brother Rui, it's going to be okay, right?" Chen Qi stepped forward and asked with some concern.

Wang Rui smiled and asked, "This is Dihua Villa, don't worry."

Zhou Hua was still fighting with Chen Fuzhi at this time, constantly being defeated, and constantly gritting his teeth to continue to fight, this kind of tenacity also made Wang Rui a little admired.

Following Liu Yun out of the courtyard of the three, Wang Rui asked, "Senior Sister Liu, I don't know what other seniors there are besides Immortal Gu?"

Liu Yun hesitated for a moment and replied, "Elder Keqing, a sick scholar, Master's friend Daoist Fuyunzi, as well as my two senior brothers and a senior sister...... By the way, Senior Brother Wang, my senior brother and senior sister are not very good-tempered, and it may also be due to their feelings for the little junior sister, so it may affect you, and I hope you can be considerate then."

Hearing this, Wang Rui chuckled in his heart, it seems that this meeting will not be very pleasant. Zhou Hua was brought by the three of herself, and now she is favored by the fairy girl, but she didn't expect it to make several of her fellow disciples jealous.

"Alas, this cultivation realm is sometimes no different from the mortal world, and even more so in terms of intrigue, after all, it is still a mortal." Wang Rui couldn't help but scold a few words, the monk's heart was not broad-minded.

After coming to the conference hall, Wang Rui found that the scene was far more deserted than last time, perhaps intentionally.

Except for the guard disciples at the door, there were only a few people inside, and even Liu Yun couldn't get in.

A depressing atmosphere permeated, which was Wang Rui's first feeling after stepping in.

Fairy Gu naturally saw it, and her face was slightly strange at this time, as if she had gone through a quarrel.

On the right hand side of the fairy aunt is a middle-aged man, with a very thin body, and his skin is a little sickly pale, and he is wearing a somewhat sloppy scholar's robe.

Looking at the opposite side of the fairy aunt, there was a silver-haired old man with kind eyebrows, sitting there motionless like a mountain, holding the dust in his arms, and when Wang Rui came in, he raised his eyes and looked at him, which made him feel a sense of fright. If you don't guess wrong, this old way should be that Fuyunzi, who can sit on an equal footing with the fairy girl, must also be a Yuanying monk.

Next to the sick scholar was a woman, who seemed to be older and more mature than Liu Yun, wearing a red dress and a red maple leaf standing on her bun.

"Could it be that this woman is a monk from the Red Maple Valley?" Wang Rui continued to speculate on himself.

Finally, there were two men next to Fu Yunzi, who looked much bigger than themselves. One has a long black beard under his chin, and the other has a black beard on his lips.

The long-bearded man has short hair, almost bald, and is wearing a moon-white monk's robe, with a string of nanmu-colored beads hanging from his chest. The other had his hair in a bun and a wooden hairpin through it, and he was wearing a dark blue robe with gold and black motifs on the placket.

"Wang Rui, a disciple of the Xutian Sect, pays a visit to the Immortal Gu and the seniors." Wang Rui decided to lower his posture first, and do it with courtesy, after all, these people's cultivation is much higher than himself, even if someone is unhappy with him, don't give people the truth.

Immortal Gu smiled, nodded and said, "Wang Rui, the main reason for calling you here today is for the Shadow Society, you don't have to be nervous, we just ask for some details."

Then the fairy aunt introduced Wang Rui to the other people present, and as he expected, the identities of these people were basically guessed by him.

Wan Chenghai, a sick scholar, is a scattered immortal, who was invited to become an elder of Keqing decades ago, and rarely comes here on weekdays, and most of the time he travels all over the world. However, when he was summoned by the villa, he still wouldn't shirk it, after all, the elders were also treated favorably in the village, and it was impossible to accept favors for nothing.

The red-skirted woman Ban Suxian is indeed a monk of the Red Maple Valley, and she is already an elder of Jiedan, and she is also one of the disciples of the Immortal Gu, and now she can be regarded as a self-reliant door.

The two Buddhas and Taoists on the opposite side are also disciples of Xiangu, one is from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, and now the Dharma is called the cause, and he is now an elder of Jiedan. The other person is from Jiuyang Temple, who is also an elder of Jiedan, and his Dao name is also fan.

The last veteran is Fuyunzi, who is also the head of another independent Xianmen force, Fuyun Mountain.

Wang Rui found that among these people present, three of them were from the four top sects, namely the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, the Nine Yang Temple, and the Red Maple Valley, and it seemed that he had discovered the traces of the Shadow Society, which still attracted the attention of the three top sects.

Three Yuanying Monks, three Jiedan Monks, Wang Rui is facing so many high-level monks for the first time, and a foundation building early stage monk like himself is not worth mentioning in front of them.

Subsequently, Ban Suxian from Red Maple Valley took the lead in asking, she glanced at Wang Rui in front of her, and felt that this person's qualifications were mediocre, his appearance was not outstanding, and his foundation cultivation was nothing at all, but he recommended a mortal woman to become his little junior sister, and it was precisely the destruction of the Zhou Kingdom, the mother country where this little junior sister was located, which involved the Shadow Society, so that her first impression of Wang Rui was not good.

"Wang Rui, Immortal Gu introduced some information about the Shadow Society you said earlier, I want to ask a few words, no problem, right?" Ban Suxian's calm tone was a little cold.

Wang Rui clenched his fists and said, "Seniors, please speak, you must know everything and say endlessly."

"Good!" Ban Suxian nodded and continued to ask, "Empress Liu Xi of the Zhou Kingdom has the Shadow Society token on her body, but she claims to be a member of the Forgetful Sect, which of these two identities do you think is true and which is false?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Rui at once, and they also wanted to know this question.

Wang Rui thought for a moment and replied, "The junior interrogated Liu Xi, she did not deny the identity of the Shadow Society, and also said that the color of the token represents the level, so this woman must be a member of the Shadow Society. As for this woman, who claims to be a disciple of the Forgetful Sect, under the interrogation of the juniors, this woman is still recruited, Liu Xi is not the true identity of this woman, but she has taken away her body, so the true identity of this woman can no longer be traced except for a member of the Shadow Society."

"Do you think what she said is true, and did she deliberately mislead you?" Ban Suxian continued to ask.

Wang Rui replied indifferently: "The juniors are just the outer disciples of the Xutian Sect, they are soft-spoken, and it is almost impossible for them to come into contact with the secrets of the Shadow Society, so what's the point of misleading the juniors?"

Ban Suxian was silent and didn't ask any more questions, but he was obviously a little unwilling.

Afterwards, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect coughed and asked, "Wang Rui, right now, the Zhou Kingdom has been wiped out by several neighboring countries, but it only involves the change of mortal dynasties, but I also heard that the Xutian Sect was very angry about this result and threatened to take revenge in the future. Now that you are shaking out this matter, don't you say that the destruction of the Zhou Kingdom was the work of the Shadow Society, and it is natural for the Xutian Sect to restore the Zhou Kingdom in the future, yes or no?"

"The junior didn't inform the sect about this before, and the Xutian Sect didn't know about it. The younger generation also heard a few days ago that the Zhou royal family was suddenly wiped out, and then it was divided by neighboring countries, so it occurred to me that Liu Xi's body might have something to do with it, but it was not that the seniors thought so far-reaching." Wang Rui glanced at this fake monk and felt that this person seemed to be very unkind to the Xutian Sect, could it be that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect was prejudiced against the Xutian Sect?

"Hmph, clever words, as a disciple of the Xutian Sect, it is hard to believe that he will not tell the sect at this time." The tone of the cause still seemed mean.

The fairy girl couldn't help but scold, "Little house, are your wings stiff, and you are still so indebted here as a teacher? Ask questions well, don't be weird, if you dare to chew your tongue again, I will beat you up as a teacher."

"Master's ......" Because his face suddenly turned a little red, he didn't expect that his nickname was called out by the fairy girl, seeing his embarrassed and depressed expression, the other people couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere finally eased.

Wang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know if it was personal reasons or sect reasons, in short, he felt that the other party was a little deliberately looking for fault. Ban Suxian is more concerned about Liu Xi's true identity, but the reason is that it is somewhat aimed at the Xutian Sect.

It seems that the grievances between the immortal sects, especially between the four top sects, are also very deep, and it is difficult to truly unite, no wonder the immortal aunts were a little helpless at the beginning.
