It has something to do with the Council of Elders, the highest decision-making body of Kaiyang Palace!

On the surface, Kaiyang Palace is presided over by the palace master, but in fact it is the Council of Elders who is in charge. The Council of Elders is jointly presided over by several clans such as the Kaiyang Palace Sect Family, the Branch Family, and the Wang Family, the Lu Family, which are the most powerful among the relatives. Important affairs in the Kaiyang Palace, even the appointment and dismissal of the palace master, must be finally discussed and approved by the Council of Elders, and the defense forces of each family in the palace, in addition to the guards directly under the palace master, as long as the Council of Elders makes a decision, they can be directly mobilized, and even the palace master must not have any objections.

The Council of Elders is composed of the outer hall and the inner church, the outer hall is mainly responsible for the implementation of various decisions of the Council of Elders, and the inner hall is mainly to discuss and study important internal and external affairs.

And Gao Tianling is one of the elders of the inner hall, and in terms of seniority, he is even higher than Gao Yuan, the main palace master of Kaiyang Palace, who has been in retreat, and two levels higher than the current acting palace master Gao Feng!

In Gao Yun's words, what made Sikong Qing feel incredible was that Gao Tianling, who was an elder of the inner hall and had a noble status, it was impossible to see him in the palace on weekdays, but this time he would personally lead someone to investigate the situation on the spot, which was really a bit incredible.

Originally, Sikong Qing thought that this tragedy was just an excesses by some other cultivation academies who held a grudge against Chen Yuan's victory in the play-offs, after all, this kind of thing was not without precedent in the fiercely competitive cultivation compound, and it could even be said that it was tragic in the cultivation compound;

But now that the Presbyterian Church is involved, things are not as simple as originally thought.

Sikong Qing raised his head and looked at the clear and cloudless sky.

Maybe soon, the clouds will be gathering here.

Sikong Qing was full of thoughts, turned his head coldly, and punched Gao Yun hard in the chest.

Gao Yun was suddenly attacked, and he couldn't help but cover his chest, snorted, and frowned tightly.

"You, what are you doing!" he glared at Sikong Qing, looking inexplicable.

"You're not going to tell me about such a trivial matter?"

Gao Yun's eyes blinked, looking at Sikong Qing's expression full of blame, but he didn't speak.

He knew that Sikong Qing was naturally not really blaming him, so he bowed his head and said nothing.

Sikong Qing continued to complain to herself: "Stinky boy, how long have you been in the Chen Courtyard, you haven't learned anything else, but you have learned to be disrespectful? You didn't know where you were when I entered the Chen Courtyard!"

He looked at Gao Yun, paused, and continued to say angrily, "Such an important matter, you have to report it to Senior Brother as soon as possible, you know? Even if you want to investigate, I am more qualified than you for better cultivation, Senior Brother!"

When Gao Yun heard this, he was immediately unconvinced, and argued: "Why? I am also a disciple of Chen Academy, so my qualifications should be the same, right?"

Glaring at Gao Yun viciously, Sikong Qing said unremittingly: "You kid is really getting more and more arrogant! It seems that if you have a little performance in the play-offs, you will be dragged up, right? Come on, let's compare and match again, so that you can see the true strength of my senior brother!"

Gao Yun was stunned for a moment, looked at Sikong Qing with a rich smile on his face, and immediately felt that he was taken to the gutter by this senior brother.

After a moment of silence, they suddenly laughed together.

"Senior brother, it seems that we were discussing another topic just now. Gao Yun scratched his head and said with a smile.

The smile on Sikong Qing's face gradually faded, replaced by an ice-like calmness: "Let's start with this inner hall elder, no matter what is behind him, dig it out together." ”

Gao Yun's face gradually showed a solemn look.

"By the way, what kind of cultivation strength do the elders of the inner hall generally have?"

Sikong Qing tilted his head slightly, and said lightly: "The inner hall is now controlled by a group of people surnamed Gao, most of whom relied on nepotism to sit in that position, and they are all people with mediocre strength. ”

"That's good. Gao Yun was a little relieved, secretly relieved, and asked casually: "I couldn't sense his strength that day, it should be the appearance of the eighth or ninth rank of the Chen Rank." ”

The difference in strength between the two cultivators reached three or more, and as long as the one with the stronger cultivation intentionally shielded it, the lower one would not be able to sense his true strength. Gao Yun was in the late stage of the Chen-level fourfold at that time, and it was expected that with the situation that Gao Tianling's strength could not detect at that time, it should be above the eightfold of the Chen-level.

Sikong Qing glanced at him, and his expression was like looking at an idiot.

"If they are all at this level, then it is estimated that the outer hall of the Elders' Church is full of old fellows of seven or eight levels. This strength is almost the same as any third-rate sect in the Seven Star Treasure Domain, and it is estimated that a random team of people from the other six palaces of the Seven Star Palace will be able to level this place. ”

"Didn't you say it before," Gao Yunchang blushed and replied, "You said it yourself, they are all mediocre in strength and wine bags and rice bags." ”

Sikong Qing couldn't help but glared at him again: "According to what you said, it won't be flat, but a deep pit." No matter how bad it is, they are all members of the sect and the divided family, and the various cultivation resources are far richer than others, and they have eaten too many supplements such as pills and beast souls, even if they have mediocre cultivation qualifications, they will always have some effect. ”

Gao Yun couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he couldn't tell whether he was envious or jealous in his heart.

"Then what do you think, what kind of strength does this Gao Tianling have?"

Sikong Qing spread his hands and said lightly: "It's about five star levels, it's not a big deal." ”

Although Gao Yun was a little mentally prepared, when he heard the words that came out of his mouth, he was still a little congested.

"This ...... It seems a little too high. Gao Yun's face suddenly looked a little difficult, "With our current cultivation, it seems to be more difficult to get it, right?"

Sikong Qing smiled, patted Gao Yun's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Now you know how dangerous this matter is, right?" In this way, you should not know anything, cultivate well in the underground courtyard, it is best to move here to live, I believe that there are so many mentors here, they will not act blatantly for the time being, and the investigation will be left to me." ”

Gao Yun's eyes widened suddenly, and he retorted urgently: "Both of us are dangerous, isn't it even more dangerous for you to be alone?" Besides, why can't I go if you go, why do you talk about it upside down? For the sake of Master and Senior Brothers, even if I go to the soup and fire, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end!"

Sikong Qing was about to persuade again, when suddenly a hearty laugh came from behind them.

"I said you two, what are you arguing about here!"

Hearing this fairly familiar voice, Sikong Qing and Gao Yun immediately stopped talking and turned around.

Standing behind them, it was none other than the mentor of their Weapons Branch, Master Lan.

His sly eyes swirled around the two of them, as if trying to discover something: "I seem to have heard an investigation or something, are you going to do some interesting mission?"

Although he had a good impression of this very young tutor during the exam, Gao Yun did not want to involve him in this dangerous matter.

He was thinking about making up something to fool around, but Sikong Qing on the side had already greeted him with a smile.

"Master, you also saw that mission?"

Lan Shi was stunned: "Mission?

"It's the hottest task in the Academy Hall right now!" Sikong Qing looked surprised, as if surprised by his loneliness.

Gao Yun on the side had to admire, Senior Brother Sikong's brain turned really fast, and his acting skills were also vivid. However, he also secretly had some questions, how could the senior brother, who had never even been too lazy to get out of the door, know about the task issued by the Dushi Sect?

As a mentor, Master Lan naturally couldn't go to the academy hall to wander around, so he immediately hesitated and guessed: "The hottest task?" I remember that two months ago, I released a mission to explore the ruins, and it was rumored that there were a lot of precious pills and spiritual weapons hidden in it, so at that time, almost half of the people in the underground courtyard participated, and the rare spiritual weapons were especially attractive to the disciples of our weapons branch, and at that time, almost all the disciples went, and it became empty. By the way, what is the mission this time?"

"This isn't a relic mission. Sikong Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's a medicinal herb collection task." ”
