Chapter 328: Please testify
Old Lady Ling wondered, "Messenger? Who sent it?"
The servant replied, "Back to the ancestor, the other party didn't say anything, only showed the token. He also called the little one a secret, so that no one could know about it."
At this point, Old Lady Ling and Ling Yongjia both became nervous.
Nothing will happen, right?
"Invite him in."
"Yes."
The messenger soon came in.
The man was dressed in a black robe and wore a hood on his head, shielded from all prying eyes.
Old Lady Ling only glanced at it, then stood up: "Immortal Monarch."
That's right, the messenger is a primordial baby. The use of the infant monk as a messenger was enough to show that the matter was serious, and his heart was raised even tighter.
The man in black hugged his fists, and then showed the token: "I was ordered to deliver a message, dare to ask the old lady of the Ling family?"
"Yes." Old Lady Ling looked at him nervously, "Who does the unknown Immortal Monarch send the message for? Is it the suzerain or the ......?"
"Sect Master." The man in black cut him off, "The sect master asked me to tell the old lady that the young sect master falsely accused him of being a demon and intended to remove him from power, and asked the old lady to go to the Wuji Sect as soon as possible to testify for the sect master."
Old Lady Ling was stunned: "Into the devil? How can it have anything to do with the devil? It's not something that can be blamed casually, is it?"
The man in black looked around.
Old Lady Ling said, "Yongjia, you go outside and guard."
Ling Yongjia agreed.
Soon there were only the two of them left in the house, and with the ban on it, no one could spy on it.
The man in black finally said bluntly, "Old lady, something has indeed happened to the sect master."
Old Lady Ling was shocked: "What do you mean?"
The man in black said, "A few years ago, something happened to the Ling family's sealing array, does the old lady remember? When that demon was refined, a wisp of demon soul escaped and attached itself to the sect master."
Old Lady Ling gasped, "What? How can it be? At that time, there were so many God Transformation Elders from the Wuji Sect!"
The man in black sighed silently: "The sect master also found out after the fact, after all, it is the demon who has gone through the Demon Sealing War, and it is not surprising that he can still come out to make trouble after being guarded for thousands of years."
It's also true, the demon in the early years was far more powerful than now.
Old Lady Ling calmed down and asked, "I haven't heard of it in the past few years, so I want to come and the sect master has taken control?"
"Yes." The man in black calmed his heart, "After all, the sect master is a god-transforming cultivator, and he has the secret treasure of the Wuji Sect, so it is not a problem to suppress a wisp of demon soul."
Affirmed, Old Lady Ling relaxed slightly, and then asked, "Then what's going on now?"
The man in black continued, "The sect master has been trying to find a way to get rid of the demon soul, and he once wanted to borrow the magic weapon of the Taiyi Hall to help, but who knew that the demon soul attracted the magic sword in the hall and almost had an accident. Fortunately, the sect master reacted in time and pushed the matter onto Elder Song before he got out of the way."
Song Zhiyi? Old Lady Ling had heard about this, but she didn't expect it to be related to Ling Yungao. The two things are linked, the cause and effect are very smooth, and what the man in black said is more credible.
"And then? The matter was discovered by Bu Fei?"
The man in black nodded: "The young sect master returned to the sect and found that Elder Song was imprisoned in the Xuanbing Prison, intending to be *** for him. It just so happened that Miss Qiu was affected by the demon soul and had an accident in the sect competition, and the young sect master found out that the sect master might have been infected by the demon soul."
There is no need for him to talk about the rest of the matter, Old Lady Ling has already fully understood.
Ling Bufei was already at odds with his uncle, how could he let go of this kind of trick? Naturally, he wanted to use this to pull his uncle down.
In all fairness, Old Lady Ling is biased towards Ling Yungao, and her grandson is always closer than the great-grandson of her brother. But if the two sides are fighting on the surface, it is really difficult for him to express his position directly. Ling Bufei didn't have a deep affection for the Ling family, so he couldn't say that he would break off the relationship in anger. At that time, if he takes the position, then the Ling family will suffer a big loss.
"What does the sect master want the old man to do?" Old Lady Ling asked cautiously.
"Naturally, I went to testify." The man in black said, "You just said that you were the one who was possessed, and the sect master was just infected with some breath when he exorcised the demon for you. as
Won't you just get out of this way?"
But in this way, it also completely offended Ling Bufei.
Old Lady Ling was embarrassed: "This is not appropriate, is it? There are so many god elders in the sect, and the old man told this lie, but I am afraid that it will be exposed soon."
"No, it won't." The black master said firmly, "You are related to the sect master by blood, and you only need to do some tricks to cover up the past."
How to cover up? Old Lady Ling probably thought of it, that is, to cross the demon soul to his body.
He is a hundred unwilling, after being injured three hundred years ago, he has not been well, if he crosses the demon soul again, he is afraid that the foundation will be completely broken, and his longevity will be greatly reduced.
The older he gets, the more afraid he is of death, Old Lady Ling has already passed his eight hundred birthday, and with his cultivation, he may not be able to reach a thousand years old, so he naturally doesn't want to take this risk.
So he said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, my body can't hold it!"
The atmosphere in the room cooled down, and the man in black asked, "The old lady doesn't want to offend the young sect master, right?" After all, the sect master is the Ling family, and the young sect master is also the Ling family, so whoever ascends to the throne won't have much impact on you, right?"
The truth is true, but Old Lady Ling will never admit it, and hurriedly said: "Naturally not, the sect master is the direct bloodline of the old man, how can he not help him, it is really ......."
The man in black intercepted, "Old lady, have you forgotten what happened three hundred years ago?"
Old Lady Ling looked at him vigilantly, "What do you mean by Immortal Jun?"
The man in black said coldly, "You and the Sect Master, not only direct blood relatives, did that thing together back then. If something happens to the sect master, do you think you can get it out?"
Old Lady Ling was silent.
The man in black continued, "You and the Sect Master have long been tied together, and the Sect Master hasn't treated you badly all these years, has he? The young sect master has no such feelings for you."
This is a threat, Old Lady Ling heard it. His own grandson, he still knows his character very well. This kid is forcing himself to stand in line, if you don't help him, don't think about it.
If that incident is revealed, then the Ling family will be finished. Elder Mei was not killed by him and Ling Yungao, but when it came to the cause of death, they were partly responsible. Plus the follow-up framing of disciples......
"Old lady, have you thought about it?" The man in black urged, "The sect master is still waiting for a reply!"
What else can Old Lady Ling say? Although he was angry with Ling Yungao in his heart, he could only reply, "The old man understands, so he will leave for the Wuji Sect."
The man in black nodded with satisfaction and arched his hand, "Then we will wait for the old lady in the Wuji Sect."
Old Lady Ling trembled and got up to send him off: "Immortal Monarch, please."
The man in black walked out of the middle hall and walked away.
Leaving Duyun Lake by water, when he returned to the boat waiting on the shore, the woman in the cabin, dressed in black like him, stood up: "Is it done?"
The man in black nodded, took off his hood, and revealed a corroded face that was too much to see: "Alright, let's go and prepare for the next step!"
