Chapter 389: Misunderstanding
Yuan Ming immediately got up, took out a pen and paper from the chamber, and quickly wrote down the name of the mountain peak that broke out at the last moment in the last attempt according to his memory.
Evergreen Peak, Tianxia Peak, Enlightenment Peak, Qinglan Peak.
Counting Shen Lingyun's Spirit Shape Peak, among the twenty-one peaks of Chaotian Sect, there are known at least five peaks to betray.
Yuan Ming stared at the words on the paper, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't understand why there were so many traitors in the thriving Chaotian Sect?
Especially the two peaks of Tianxia and Enlightenment, in the introduction left by the Master Shura, the masters of these two peaks are all cultivators in the late stage of the Jiedan, and their status in the sect can be said to be below the two of them, above the ten thousand people, and the cultivation resources in the sect are also inclined to these two peaks, so there is no reason to betray the sect at all.
What's more, the purpose of their rebellion is not even to seize power, but to destroy the door, and for them, betrayal is a completely thankless path, leaving behind infamy.
At the same time that Yuan Ming was puzzled, outside the house, Shen Peng's voice sounded again.
Yuan Ming sighed, pushed open the door a little helplessly, exchanged a few polite words with him, and asked about the arrival time of the Five Thunder Sect viewing team, and then shirked his physical discomfort and returned to the room.
After sorting out his mood, he took another piece of rice paper and began to deduce the way to break the game.
According to what he heard and saw when he tried last time, there were three fundamental reasons for the fall of Chaotian Sect, one was a traitor, the second was foreign aid, and the third was Yuanying.
The solutions to the second and third points are the same, Yuan Ming must race against time to solve the traitor problem before the arrival of the Five Thunder Sect and the Northern Darkness Scattered Alliance, and forcibly force the gray-clothed old man to appear, and then the Chaotian Sect Ancestor will kill him with two against one, and all the problems should be solved.
Shen Peng had just told Yuan Ming that the Five Thunder Sect's viewing procession would arrive in four days, but considering that they might have ambushed their men secretly, this time might have to be advanced by another day.
Since the Five Thunder Sect and Chaotian Sect both belong to the Zhao State Sect, there is often friction between the two sects, so although the Five Thunder Sect is close, the viewing procession will always be stuck on the day before the founding ceremony, so as not to lose the majesty of their own sect.
Today, the number of traitors that Yuan Ming wants to solve has changed from one knot pill to five knots, of which. There may be more foundation building and qi refining disciples, it is impossible to count on Changchun Guan to help him, the only way is to win the trust of the sect.
Thinking of this, Yuan Ming suddenly smiled bitterly.
In the past, Shen Lingyun alone forced him to risk his life to be able to expose his traitor identity, but now there are four more high-powered peak masters of the Yudan period.
With his current status in the sect, even if he shows more evidence, I am afraid that he will be easily suppressed by them.
Yuan Ming recalled the plan he had set for Shen Lingyun, and suddenly he realized that he had actually fallen into a misunderstanding all along, and recalled a clue that he had ignored.
Soon, in the cave mansion on the top of the mountain, Yuan Ming visited his traitor master again, but this time, he didn't mention any nightmares.
"Master, the ceremony is coming, but our Spirit Shape Peak has not yet prepared a special amusement, the deacon hall has sent people to find disciples to urge several times, look at this ......" Yuan Ming asked cautiously.
Although Shen Lingyun is a soul cultivator, in order not to be exposed, he will not use his soul cultivation ability from time to time, not to mention that Yuan Ming's soul strength is not inferior to him, although he can't use the means, but he can still detect it in advance if he is detected.
Therefore, he was not worried that his lie would be discovered by Shen Ling's use of soul cultivation methods.
Sure enough, hearing Yuan Ming's suggestion, Shen Lingyun didn't notice anything wrong, but just said casually: "You just tell them that this peak has not been established long ago, and there is a shortage of manpower, so I won't participate in this ceremony for the time being, and I'll talk about it next time." ”
"That's what the disciples told them, but they still insisted that I ask your opinion, do you think you can give the disciples any proof, so that you can prove to them that this Dingtong is what your old man meant?" Yuan Ming said.
Shen Lingyun groaned slightly, nodded, and raised his right hand, and a card flew into Yuan Ming's hand.
You just take this, and before the ceremony begins, I need to retreat for a while, unless other peak masters look for me, otherwise you can handle all the chores as me.
Shen Lingyun admonished.
Yuan Ming took the token, bowed respectfully, and then slowly withdrew from the cave.
Then, he rushed to the deacon's hall without stopping, and found the lay disciple who was in charge of the treasury guard.
"Senior brother, do you remember the last time you took this token to enter the intelligence storehouse?" Yuan Ming took out the token and shook it.
"This ...... I remember his eyes were very thin......"
The treasury guard recalled the details of the person's appearance, and while listening to Hui, Yuan Ming took out a piece of jade slip and sketched the portrait of the person with divine thoughts.
"Do you see it's him?" Yuan Ming handed the jade slip with the portrait painted to the guard.
"That's right, it's this person, tsk, my brother's painting skills are really exquisite! Just by listening to me, you can draw exactly the same. When the guard saw the portrait, he was full of praise.
Yuan Ming smiled, and after putting away the jade slip, he immediately contacted Shen Peng.
"Senior Brother Shen, I want you to help me find someone ......"
Half a day later, Xiujie Peak.
When Tao Wenlong, a layman disciple, returned to his residence after a busy day's work, he did not take the main road, but picked a scenic mountain path, and slowly and leisurely admired the beautiful scenery on both sides.
Xiujie Peak is ranked at the bottom of the twenty-one peaks of Chaotian Sect, and when he was assigning tasks, Tao Wenlong still complained a little in his heart, feeling that his ability was not bad, but he was assigned to this ghost place, and he couldn't make any great achievements at all.
But after living here for a long time, he has a little nostalgia for the scenery here.
Not long ago, his superiors contacted him and sent him to clean up Chaotian Sect, and the key information he accidentally obtained, I thought it was a big task, but I didn't expect that Chao Dazong didn't know the criticality of that information, but when the general information was stored at will, he relied on the token prepared by his superiors to easily complete the task and add a credit.
At that time, he realized that when he was undercover, he had to pick some inconspicuous places, and if he lurked in those top peaks, although he had the opportunity to make great achievements, he might have to worry every day that he would not be exposed, and it would be impossible to receive such an easy task.
Tao Wenlong looked at the scenery around him and looked at the towering ancient trees, and suddenly felt a little emotional.
Such a beautiful scenery that has been precipitated for thousands of years will be burned out by the war in a few days, and I don't know how many ancient power flowers can be left here after the war, and how many people can stand still?
Tao Wenlong shook his head and sighed for a while, and slowly, he walked out of the path to the front of the residence, and just pushed the door open, but suddenly heard a loud shout from behind him.
"Tao Wenlong, you have an incident, come with us!"
Tao Wenlong's body stiffened, cold sweat dripped, the thoughts in his mind turned sharply, and after a while, he forcibly suppressed the shock and fear, and while turning around, he squeezed out a smile and arched his hand and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, are the senior brothers looking for the wrong person?" I usually keep to myself, and I haven't done anything bad, have I? ”
Behind him, several Tsukiji monks stood side by side, led by a handsome young man! Because of the token given by his superiors, Tao Wenlong recognized him and knew that he was Zhen Luo, the only personal disciple of Spirit Shape Peak, and he shouted in his heart.
On the other side, Yuan Ming looked at the jade slip in his hand and confirmed that he was the person described by the treasury guard, so he smiled coldly: "Heh, it's not wrong, what we're looking for is you, as for what you did, I think you should know it in your heart, right?"
Tell me, who instructed you to do this, and who are you from? Five Thunder Sect, or the Northern Underworld Dispersal Alliance?
Hearing this, the people next to Yuan Ming seemed to be a little puzzled, but when he heard Yuan Ming spit out the words "Northern Hellish Dispersion Alliance" in his mouth, Tao Wenlong's body immediately trembled slightly, and there were faint beads of sweat on his forehead, and he didn't notice the strangeness of those people at all.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Zhen, what are you talking about, why can't I understand Senior Brother?"
Tao Wenlong said, took two steps back slightly, and then suddenly raised his hand. In an instant, an extremely dazzling white light erupted in front of everyone.
However, Yuan Ming had already prepared, and almost played the talisman in Tao Wenlong? At the same time, as soon as he flipped over the right king, a formation disk fell into his palm, and as he pinched the magic technique, at the same time as the white light lit up, eight azure light ropes instantly drilled out of the ground.
The white light quickly dissipated, and when the other foundation building monks reopened their eyes and saw the surrounding scene clearly, they found that in mid-air, Tao Wenlong was entangled in eight light ropes, and was roaring unwillingly.
"What are you doing, I'm innocent, you framed me!"
"No wonder Senior Brother Zhen, you specially dragged us to wait here, it turned out that you prepared the formation in advance?" On Yuan Ming's right, a tall foundation monk wearing a dark blue armor said in surprise.
"Hehe, I'm just used to being prepared, I didn't expect to use it, but now it seems that the secret hidden by this Tao Wenlong is deeper than I imagined, I'm afraid that the crime committed is more than just forging the peak master token." Yuan Ming smiled and said.
After finding out Tao Wenlong's identity, Yuan Ming immediately found the people in the Punishment Hall, showed them Shen Lingyun's token, said that he was acting on the orders of the master, and explained Tao Wenlong's crimes, so he brought several deacons from the Punishment Hall to build the foundation.
The person who just spoke to him was the deacon of the punishment hall named "Gu Zhiping".
"Yes, but Senior Brother Zhen, why did you just ask him if he was from the Five Thunder Sect or the Northern Underworld Dispersion Alliance, how do you feel like you knew it in advance?" On Yuan Ming's left, Shen Peng asked curiously.
"I just think that these things he committed don't look like the disciples of this sect would do, so I tricked him, I wanted to see if he was an undercover agent sent by other forces, but I didn't expect to be caught." Yuan Ming immediately said the reason why he had already drafted several times.
These words were naturally not only for Shen Peng, but also for Gu Zhiping and the other disciples of the Punishment Hall, otherwise his behavior was indeed a little sudden, and if he waited for the time to doubt himself and then give a reason, it would naturally not have the effect of casually revealing it now.
Shen Peng nodded again and again, looking at Yuan Ming with a hint of admiration in his eyes, so he naturally did not continue to ask.
