Chapter 249: The Man Behind the Scenes
A forest thirty miles away from the god-level gate.
There were three figures standing.
These three people are naturally Lin Ye, Zhang Wujie and Jing Yu.
Although the disciple who reported the news informed Zhang Wujie, the head of Ren did not let him return to the Shenyun Gate.
And to be able to make the head of Ren say this, it is obvious that the enemy encountered by the Shenyun Gate this time is very strong, so strong that the head of Ren feels that the Shenyun Gate will not be able to resist it, and does not let Zhang Wujie go back, it is very likely that it is to leave a seed for the Shenyun Gate.
However, how could Zhang Wujie not go back, and when he learned that someone was attacking Shenyun Gate, he couldn't help but rush back as soon as he could, but in the end he was stopped by Jing Yu.
Seeing Jing Yu stop him, Zhang Wujie almost had to do something with Jing Yu, until Jing Yu said a word, Zhang Wujie couldn't hold back.
"In fact, long before I came to the God-level Gate, Master Ren told me that if the Shenyun Gate is in danger, let me stop you, Elder Zhang."
Conventions!
When Lin Ye heard Jing Yu's words, the first thing that came to mind was the agreement that Jing Yu mentioned in the courtyard.
At that time, he felt that this agreement would not be so simple, and now it seems that he really guessed it, and there is the following.
Jing Yu looked at Zhang Wujie's confused appearance and continued: "In fact, the reason why Master Ren gave me the quota for the god-level gate is because he has an agreement with me, even if Li Yifei does not take the initiative to come to the door to provoke, I will find a disciple of the god-level door for a discussion. ”
"Why, why does my senior brother have to ask you to compete with a disciple of the god-level sect?"
"It's not that I want to compete with the disciples of the god-level sect, but that I want to use the Falling Snow Sword, and then, drop the snow on a mountain peak."
Jing Yu had a look of memory on his face, and then said: "There are dozens of peaks in the territory where the God-level Gate is located, and what Master Ren wants me to do is to drop the snow on a mountain peak behind the main peak of the God-level Gate, I guess Master Ren should want to find out something because of this." ”
"The mountain peak behind the main peak, that is the forbidden place of the god-level gate, even inside the god-level gate, only the elders and the door master can enter."
Zhang Wujie frowned, he had been to the God-level Gate a few times, and he knew more about the situation on the various hills of the God-level Gate, but what was his senior brother doing to spy on the forbidden land of the God-level Gate?
"Because of my Falling Snow Sword, everyone knows that the snowflakes are falling, so I won't be suspicious of the god-level sectarians, and I have an agreement with the head of Ren, and I will tell him in the form of a code whether the snowflakes have fallen on that mountain peak."
Hearing Jing Yu say this, Lin Ye didn't ask any codes, because it was too simple to set a code, such as a look, or a certain body movement, or a pause in a discourse or something......
"Brother Jing, did this snowflake fall on that mountain?"
"It's gone."
Jing Yu nodded: "After Master Ren got my code, although Master Ren's expression was well concealed, I still captured the expression of Master Ren at that moment, which was mixed with anger in disbelief." ”
Out of curiosity about the purpose of the head of Ren, Jing Yu paid special attention to the expression of the head of Ren at that time, so that he could capture the change in the expression on the face of the head of Ren.
"Brother Jing, so you suspect that the crisis suffered by the Shenyun Gate is very likely to have something to do with the God-level Gate."
Lin Ye opened his mouth to look at Jing Yu, Jing Yu nodded, he connected these two things as soon as the disciples of the Shenyun Sect came to report the news.
"God-level gate!"
Zhang Wujie had an angry look on his face, "No matter who did it, even if it is a god-level sect, I will definitely avenge this revenge, but now I must rush back!" ”
"Brother Zhang, if you want to rush back, we will definitely not stop you, and Brother Jing and I are also elders of the Shenyun Sect, although we are elders of the Keqing Sect, we will not stand idly by."
Lin Ye's words made Zhang Wujie's heart warm, and he was about to speak, but Lin Ye stretched out his hand to signal to listen to him first.
Saying this, it is not an exaggeration for Lin Ye, if the enemy is too strong, it is a big deal that he will suspend the time in the other world, return to the real world to cultivate well, and come back when his strength is improved.
But he has a guess in his mind right now, and if this guess is correct, then rushing back to the Shenyun Gate at this time is not the best choice.
"Brother Zhang, before I go back, I want to ask you a few questions, which will be related to whether we can save the head of the Ren sect and whether we can save the Shenyun sect."
"Just ask." Hearing Lin Ye say this, Zhang Wujie hurriedly responded, he knew that Lin Ye's brain was much more flexible than him, and it must make sense to say this.
Lin Ye was not verbose, and asked directly: "Brother Zhang, has there been any strange behavior in the head of the Ren family recently, or has there been any strange things in the rivers and lakes recently, I mean our Nanjiang Prefecture." ”
This problem Lin Ye can only be Zhang Wujie, although he himself is a martial artist, he hardly walks around the rivers and lakes, and he has no interaction with other martial artists, and Jing Yu stays in his bamboo forest every day, Lin Ye estimates that he knows no more than himself.
"Strange behavior?"
"Yes, it's very important, Brother Zhang, you must think about it."
Seeing Lin Ye's serious expression, Zhang Wuyi thought for a moment, and then said: "In recent years, there has indeed been a strange thing in the rivers and lakes, there have been several shocking mid-grade or even high-grade powerhouses who have disappeared inexplicably, most of the missing are the elders or masters of the sect, and there are some strong people of the martial arts family who have been wiped out by the whole family. ”
"You must know that there are only so many martial artists in Nanjiang Prefecture, and there are even fewer middle-grade and high-grade, in the past few years, almost half of the martial artists in the entire Nanjiang Prefecture have been poisoned, so that many powerhouses in the Stunned Realm have chosen to leave Nanjiang Prefecture."
Lin Ye's expression remained unchanged, but he confirmed the guess in his heart, but he continued to ask: "Then what does this have to do with Master Ren?" ”
"Last year, there was a high-grade powerhouse in the Stunned Realm who was also wiped out, and that one had a good relationship with my senior brother, and the senior brother went to that person's house for a few days, and after that, the senior brother would leave the sect for several days every month......" Zhang Wujie seemed to think of something: "Yes, my senior brother must have gone to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, and the people who shot at the Shenyun Sect should be those behind the scenes......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Wujie couldn't help but be about to leave, Lin Ye hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I judge now that those masterminds behind the scenes should be people from the god-level sect." ”
"God-level gates? Why did the god-level gate do this, the god-level gate was already the martial arts holy land of Nanjiang Prefecture, and even those powerhouses in the stunning realm would not be able to shake the status of the god-level gate. ”
It was Jing Yu who spoke, if the god-level sect was afraid that other sects would threaten their status as a martial arts holy land in Nanjiang Prefecture, and secretly took action to get rid of the threatening opponents, they could still say the past, but like those martial artists who did not enter the sect but had a family inheritance, it would not affect the status of the god-level sect at all.
Could it be that the god-level gate deliberately muddied the water, so that people could not suspect them?
Jing Yu and Zhang Wujian glanced at each other, and both of them thought of this.
Similarly, Lin Ye also saw the eyes of the two, but he shook his head and said: "It's not for status, if it's for status, then it shouldn't be these years, after all, it hasn't been a few years for the god-level gate to become a martial arts holy land in Nanjiang Prefecture, and this kind of thing won't be in the past few years." ”
"What's that for?"
Lin Ye looked at Zhang Wujie, and after muttering for a while, he asked solemnly, "Brother Zhang, have you ever seen that half-step martial saint from the god-level gate?" ”
Zhang Wujie hadn't answered yet, and Jing Yu's pupils contracted when he heard Lin Ye's question, because he guessed what Lin Ye was going to say.
"No, since I went to the god-level gate, that person has been in retreat, and I have never seen him, not only me, but I am afraid that except for the sect master and elders of the god-level gate, those disciples have never seen that person."
Zhang Wujie shook his head, and Jing Yu answered the call and looked at Lin Ye and asked what he had guessed in his heart: "You mean to say that these things are very likely to have something to do with the half-step martial saint of the god-level sect?" ”
"If that half-step martial saint is in retreat in the forbidden land, then he won't be able to run away, otherwise there is no need for the head of the Ren sect to let Brother Jing use snowflakes to test you, if I guess correctly, it is very likely that the half-step martial saint of the god-level gate has fallen many years ago."
This sentence made Zhang Wujie and Jing Yu's expressions become serious.
"Brother Lin, you mean to say that the half-step martial saint of the god-level gate is dead, so the god-level gate will secretly kill the middle-grade and high-grade martial artists in the stunning realm, because I am afraid that the position of the god-level gate's martial arts holy land will not be guaranteed." Zhang Wujian asked.
"Is it possible, the god-level sect is not afraid that its position in the martial arts holy land will not be guaranteed, but it wants to create another half-step martial saint or even a martial saint."
Lin Ye glanced at Zhang Wujie and Jing Yu with deep meaning, Zhang Wujie's mouth opened slightly, because he didn't understand Lin Ye's words, but Jing Yu's face showed a thoughtful look, and after half a sound, he said, "You mean cultivating forbidden arts?" ”
Cultivators have evil ways, and martial artists also have forbidden techniques (I didn't want to use forbidden techniques, but I was afraid that the other two words would be blocked).
As the first martial arts holy place in Nanjiang Prefecture, the god-level gate does not know how many martial arts cheats it has collected over the past few hundred years, which Lin Ye and Jing Yu made it clear when they went to the library pavilion, although there is no forbidden art in the library pavilion, it does not mean that there is no god-level door.
And it is precisely that there is no one in the library pavilion, but it shows that the god-level gate must have a place for hiding forbidden arts.
"Is there a forbidden technique that can extract the power of martial arts from others?"
Facing Lin Ye's inquiry, Zhang Wujie and Jing Yu both began to think, but Jing Yu was a swordsman and was only interested in swordsmanship, so he really didn't pay much attention to the forbidden techniques in this regard.
"Yes, sixty years ago, there was such a martial artist in Nanjiang Prefecture, who practiced forbidden arts, relying on the power of the martial arts that devoured other martial artists, in just three years, he went from a hundred furnaces to a stinging mid-grade, and later because of the assassination of a stinging mid-grade martial artist when the martial artist escaped, the news leaked out and was chased and killed by martial artists......"
Zhang Wujie recalled while speaking, and finally his expression became excited: "Yes, the person who killed this at that time was an elder of the god-level sect, and there were no other martial arts people present at that time, and the news from the god-level gate to the outside world was that the god-level sect elder was directly killed on the spot, but the god-level sect elder found the forbidden cultivation method on the other party." ”
"That's right."
Lin Ye also recognized Zhang Wujie's guess, combined with what the head of Ren asked Jing Yu to do, he already had a detailed story in his heart.
The half-step martial saint of the god-level gate, even if he didn't die, there was a major problem, and the retreat place of the half-step martial saint was the forbidden place of the god-level gate.
If there is no problem with that half-step martial saint, Jing Yu's snowflakes may not be able to fall on the mountain peak, even if it is a half-step martial saint, the majesty of the blood is extremely terrifying, whether it is because of this reason or not, Ren Zhangmen will let Jing Yu do this, then it means that Ren Zhangmen has such a certainty that can be determined by this.
Master Ren should have already investigated the relationship between the mastermind behind the scenes and the god-level gate, and also guessed what the god-level gate was going to do, so he had such an agreement with Jing Yu to prove his guess.
And after getting the answer from Jing Yu, what should the head of Ren have done to cause the killing of the god-level gate.
"Chen Yichun's old thing, if my senior brother and a disciple of the Shenyun Sect are killed, I must kill him with my own hands."
After Lin Ye's analysis, Zhang Wujie had already determined that the person behind the scenes was a god-level gate, and looking at the entire Nanjiang Prefecture, only a god-level gate could do this.
The three of them didn't waste any more time at the moment, and quickly rushed back towards the Shenyun Gate.
However, when a few people rushed back to the Shenyun Gate, it made Zhang Wujie see a scene where his eyes were about to burst.
The disciples of the Shenyun Sect fell to the ground in all directions, and several elders were killed in battle, but the body of the head of the Ren Sect was not there.
"God-level gate!"
Zhang Wujun's eyes looked in the direction of the god-level gate, and his body was filled with murderous aura.
Lin Ye looked at these corpses, although he was also shocked, but after half a sound, he said: "Brother Zhang, there should be more than these disciples in the Shenyun Sect." ”
After becoming the elder of the outer gate of the Shenyun Sect, Lin Ye also had some understanding of the Shenyun Sect, and there were almost more than a hundred disciples and elders of the Shenyun Sect, but there were only a dozen corpses at the moment.
"It must be the god-level gate that snatched people away, in order to devour the power of martial arts."
Zhang Wujie gritted his teeth, but Lin Ye felt that it was not so simple, according to what Zhang Wujie said, in recent years, the god-level sect has only captured the strong people above the stunning realm, and the family members and disciples of these strong people have been directly killed.
There is no reason to go to the Shenyun Gate and arrest so many disciples.
It's not easy to keep so many people going.
"I'm going to go to the God-level Gate to avenge my senior brother and many disciples of the Shenyun Sect, so Brother Jing and Brother Lin don't have to be with me."
Zhang Wujie was already holding the heart of death, but he didn't want to implicate Lin Ye and Jing Yu, after all, the strength of the god-level gate was there.
"I'm a person, what I don't like the most is to owe favors, but in the past few years, I have spent a lot of worship at the Shenyun Gate, this trip to the god-level door, I will accompany you."
Jing Yu's expression was very calm, as if he was traveling to a place.
"Brother Zhang and Brother Jing are going, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death." Lin Ye also smiled chicly.
Anyway, he'll pause!
……
……
God-level gate, main peak!
Zhao Yichun stood alone in front of the main hall, looking at the wick flames swaying on one side, and he didn't know what he was thinking, this station was an hour, and then his voice came from the main hall.
"Post to the various martial arts sects in Nanjiang Prefecture and invite them to watch the ceremony of my god-level sect establishment of the new young sect in three days."
Li Yifei lost to Jing Yu in the martial arts arena, which made many elders dissatisfied with his status as the young master, and felt that Li Yifei would be embarrassed by the god-level door if he continued to serve as the young master, so they all suggested re-selecting the young master, but Zhao Yichun, as the master of the door, kept pressing and did not express his position.
"Please come to the main hall to discuss the selection of the new young sect master."
The two deacons outside the main hall were shocked when they heard this, but they didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly went to report the news.
