When the group approached, Yang Tian stretched out his hand to destroy the remnants of the formation, and took several young people into the sword formation to avoid the storm.

When the girl led by saw Yang Tian, her eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "Senior Brother Yang!"

Yang Tian was slightly stunned, and when he saw the girl's appearance clearly, he smiled and said, "Yu'er, why are you so careless?"

The girl is none other than Shangguan Yu'er, the daughter of Shangguan Yun, the city lord of Xiyue City, who was introduced to her by her master at the sect celebration four years ago.

Shangguan Yu'er winked playfully, and said to the two young men beside him: "Haven't you always admired what kind of character the young hall master is?

The two teenagers were a little stunned, as if in a dream, it took a long time to come back to their senses, and hurriedly thanked Yang Tian for seeing the salute.

"Zhu Lingming, a disciple of the Zhu family in Xiyue City, thank you for the grace of the young hall master for saving his life. ”

"Niu Gaolie, a son of the Niu family in Xiyue City, thanked the young hall master for saving his life. ”

The Niu family and the Zhu family in Xiyue City, Yang Tian also heard it when he stayed in Xiyue City, and they are the two major families in Xiyue County second only to the Shangguan family.

The Niu family is in charge of most of the minerals in Xiyue County, especially the igneous crystal deposits close to the Illusory Demon Mountain Range, and the annual production of igneous crystals accounts for thirty percent of the entire Tianfeng Country.

The Zhu family has hundreds of shops within the control of Xiyue County, mainly dealing in various pills and treasures, and the wealth of the annual income should not be underestimated.

Shangguan Yu'er explained: "Two days ago, the three of us came here together, wanting to find a Purple Star Orchid, but we didn't expect to be attacked by a few scattered cultivators, although we repelled them, but the three of us were swept by the remnants of the formation and trapped here, fortunately, Senior Brother Yang, you passed by, otherwise I really don't know what to do!"

Yang Tian shook his head and smiled, looked up at the sky and said, "Yu'er, the matter of our entry into the mountain range has ended, plus the abnormal changes in this place, you go out of the mountain with me first, and Zixinglan should look for it next time." ”

When Shangguan Yu'er heard this, she looked at the black wind raging in the depths of the mountain range, and was a little unwilling, but she still nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Zhu Lingming's face changed slightly, slightly gloomy, Zi Xinglan was concerned about whether he could successfully enter the Lingyuan Realm, give up at this time, and I don't know when I will have to wait next time.

However, Yang Tian's reputation was too great, and the pressure on him was too great, even if he was dissatisfied, he dared not say anything.

Niu Gaolie was secretly happy in his heart, although he accompanied him this time, although he wanted to curry favor with Shangguan Yu'er, but more importantly, it was more important to reduce the possibility of finding Zixinglan!

Now the two families are fighting endlessly for the choice of the next city lord, although under the suppression of Shangguan Yun, they dare not fight against each other, but the actions in the dark have never stopped, which can make the opponent suffer, even if the other party is just an insignificant disciple of the Zhu family, it is also a small victory.

Resisting the evil aura all the way, and casually killing the spirit beasts that fled in a hurry, everyone walked out of the mountain range smoothly under the protection of Yang Tian and returned to Xiyue City.

Politely declining Shangguan Yu'er's invitation, Yang Tian returned to the sect's station, entered the secret room, divided the Purple Flame Spirit Fire into two, devoured one part for the Fire Spirit, kept one copy, and slowly cultivated it with fire crystal.

The Purple Flame Spiritual Fire is precious and abnormal, rarely in the present world, although it has no effect on the improvement of the cultivation realm, but having refining alchemy, and even arranging formations, has an irreplaceable effect, therefore, Yang Tian plans to cultivate it well, and when the time is ripe, refine it in one fell swoop, and improve his refining level.

At this time, Wu Shan outside the secret room knocked on the stone door and said, "Young Master, Elder Han of the Lingxiao Sect is here. ”

Yang Tian put away the sleeping fire spirit and said, "Elder Han, please." ”

Coming to the living room, after Wu Shan retreated, Han Feng let down his guard and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew was frightened this time, but there is no danger in the end." ”

Yang Tian hurriedly said: "If it weren't for Han Lao's timely appearance, whether the disciple could return safely is still between the two, by the way, I don't know what the situation of the Purple Eyed Lion and Meng Kuo's divine souls is?"

Han Feng shook his head regretfully and said: "That purple-eyed lion is extremely familiar with the terrain of the Illusory Demon Mountain Range, the old man chased and killed thousands of miles, but he was still escaped by it, as for that Meng Kuo, in the past, he had the consummation of the Divine Xuan, even if there was only a remnant soul left, it was difficult to deal with, plus he was cautious, and when the old man returned, he was already gone." ”

Yang Tian pursed his lips: "Although the Illusory Demon Mountain Range is located on the border of the Heavenly Wind Country, this sect has been in business for many years, and the Purple Eyed Lion and Meng Kuo have escaped, and the secret interference of other forces is indispensable!"

The Illusory Demon Mountain Range is the junction of the Three Kingdoms, whether it is the terrain or the environment, it is very complicated, except for the Youyun Sect and the Tianyun Sect, which have infiltrated this place very strongly, the other two countries and four sects have never given up here.

Han Feng said helplessly: "Yes, the old man is in the middle of the Illusion Demon Mountain Range, and he encountered the secret intervention of the Divine Xuanwu Sect, the main energy of the Tianyun Sect is on the demon cultivators of the Tianqian Kingdom, and he can't afford to take care of the situation here, so he only sent a few disciples, therefore, the only one who is most likely to make a move is the Youyun Sect, they have become more and more domineering in recent years, by the way, I heard that you injured the blood rain of the Youyun Sect next to the Yin Evil Valley?"

Yang Tian nodded: "This is indeed the case." ”

Han Feng hesitated slightly, "After this incident, you also drove all the disciples of the Youyun Sect out of the northern region of the Yin Demon Valley?"

Yang Tian smiled and said, "Yes, this is also true. ”

When Han Feng heard this, he sighed lightly and said, " It's nothing to hurt the blood rain, it should be used as a competition between disciples, with your cultivation strength, even if you encounter a blood cloud, you can win the battle, but the expulsion of disciples about the face of the sect, the Youyun Sect will definitely react, now the sect is seriously tilted, the sect master is unwilling to make extraneous branches, the senior brother can't go out of retreat, I'm afraid that someone will use the topic to play and question you about this matter, in addition, about Ye Chen's death, after the sect gets the news, it should also ask, however, there is no problem with this, after all, it is purely an accident, the fifth-order late stage spirit beast shot, not to mention you, even the old man does not dare to guarantee that he can save him！”

Yang Tian was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Some people may not think so, but are waiting for this opportunity······

The peak of Lingxiao Sect is in an exquisite and magnificent palace.

"The two sides had a dispute because of the Purple Flame Spirit Fire?Before Ye Chen died, he accused Yang Chen of not saving him when he saw death?" Duan Yu put down the jade slip in his hand, quite playful.

Qiu Ze said excitedly: "I learned from the mouth of the core disciple of this experience that this is indeed the case, but he didn't really see the scene when Ye Chen jumped into the Yin Evil Valley. ”

Duan Yu said indifferently: "It's enough." ”

As the team leader, the core disciple died in an accident, or Ye Chen, who has always had old grudges, Yang Tian, who is the most suspicious, is easily attacked by rumors.

Qiu Ze thought for a while and said in a low voice: "However, after all, this Yang Chen is the disciple of the Third Elder, and he is also the leader of the younger generation of the sect, if there is no real evidence, I am afraid that he will not be able to move him." ”

"This kind of thing, you don't need any evidence, suspicion, it's enough. Duan Yu smiled leisurely.

Qiu Ze hesitated: "Yang Chen is now the young hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, and he has made a lot of contributions to the rectification of the Law Enforcement Hall in the past two years, even if he makes a little mistake, I am afraid that it can be forgiven......

Duan Yu sneered and said, "Purging the Law Enforcement Hall? If it weren't for the fact that the Third Elder left many followers to balance the power of us and the Great Elder, then it's hard to say whether Yang Chen can gain a foothold in the Law Enforcement Hall again!"

Looking at Duan Yu's grim expression, Qiu Ze was a little uneasy, and whispered: "However, Yang Chen's own strength should not be underestimated!"

Duan Yu waved his hand and said, "Although Yang Tian's strength is amazing and his potential is huge, but now after all, he only has the cultivation of the early stage of the Condensation Realm, no matter how powerful he is, how much wind and waves can he stir up!"

"What's more!" Speaking of this, Duan Yu's voice was a little lower, and his expression became serious: "Yang Chen's practice in the past two years seems to be neutral, but in fact, he has slowly leaned towards the Great Elder's lineage, although it can't be sure that his personal behavior is still the meaning of the Third Elder, he can't be allowed to develop!"

"Now, the selection of the position of the young sect master has reached a delicate juncture, and any change may affect the overall decision of the sect. Duan Yu sneered: "It is said that Yang Chen inherited the justice of the three elders and is a model for a generation of true inheritance, but in my opinion, on the contrary, the three elders lost to Yang Chen, and the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill." ”

Speaking of this, Duan Yu stood up and said lightly: "You will understand in the future that some things don't actually need evidence, suspicion is enough to affect a person's perception, this Yang Chen thinks very highly of himself, and after a purge of it, he has sinned a lot of people, as long as this matter is released, there will be people who fall into the well and add fuel to the fire." ”

"The three of them become tigers, people are always willing to believe in the judgment of their own hearts, as for the nature of the matter, they don't care much, and stepping the high-ranking law enforcement hall master under their feet is tantamount to satisfying their noble dark psychology!"

"As long as Yang Chen's reputation is notorious, the Law Enforcement Hall with majesty and justice as the cornerstone will become weak, and at that time, even if the Third Elder breaks through, it will not be able to change the fate of his expulsion!"

Qiu Ze's heart tightened, he lowered his head, and didn't dare to speak, he knew that Deacon Zheng, who was dismissed from his post because of Yang Tian and was thoroughly investigated in Lingxiao Square not long ago, was Duan Yu's henchman.

"Originally, I wanted to use Ye Chen as a fulcrum to pry Yang Chen's position as the young hall master, but who knew that Yang Chen saw through it and lost a deacon in vain. Duan Yu was depressed in his heart, and thought with some annoyance: "However, although Deacon Zheng failed, he found a good entry point, this Yang Chen was used to being frivolous, and he couldn't stand the slightest provocation, so he still killed Ye Chen." ”

Qiu Ze said in a low voice: "Yang Chen is the only disciple of the Third Elder after all, even if he succeeds this time, he will have to bear the wrath of the Third Elder afterwards, and he will push them to the First Elder line, is it really worth it?"

Duan Yu said with a smile: "If it succeeds, how can they choose, okay, these have their own father to talk to the three elders, what you have to do now is to go to Gangfeng Stream immediately and tell Su Guang and Muye about this matter, presumably, they are very willing to do something······

Qiu Ze suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that Duan Yu would not discuss with the sect master, be arrogant, and insist on going his own way.

Now it seems that it is probably not Duan Yu who wants to move Yang Chen, but the overall decision of the sect master's line······

Three days later, Wushan brought bad news.

"Young Master, I just got the news from the Lingxiao Sect, the Sect Master personally inquired about the affairs of the Illusory Demon Mountain Range in the Lingxiao Palace, and sent Zhao Qi of Bixiao Peak and Qiu Shaoyang, the Eighth Elder, to Xiyue City!"

Yang Tian asked, "Do you know why?"

Wu Shan replied: "One is that the Youyun Sect went to the Lingxiao Sect to protest against the young master's expulsion of Blood Rain and the others, and the second is the death of Ye Chen. ”

Yang Tian touched his chin: "Then wait here, I want to see what crime they can charge me!"

A trace of fierceness flashed in Wu Shan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Young Master, do you want to let the Tiger Leader enter Xiyue City?"

Yang Tian shook his head slightly: "My current identity is Yang Chen, too much mobilization of the spirit hunting group's manpower, it's not good, if someone finds out, it will affect the next plan, and the gains outweigh the losses, besides, with Uncle Zhao and Han Lao here, there is only one Qiu Shaoyang, and nothing can be done." ”

Wu Shan sighed lightly: "Even so, do you just let them beat?"

The corners of Yang Tian's mouth raised slightly, revealing a cold smile: "Some people really need to be beaten!"

Soon, all the core disciples who participated in this experience received the news, and they, as companions with Yang Tian, also had to be questioned together for circumstantial evidence.

When everyone heard the news, they looked at each other, and their thoughts fluctuated for a while.

As Wu Shan said, Yang Tian's situation is special, and he must be recognized by the sect master and most of the elders before he can be interrogated, so this time the matter is difficult to be good.

Among the younger generation of the sect, the young hall master who is calling for wind and rain and is in full swing, is it really going to be unlucky?

For a while, within the sect, all the disciples of the sect who knew about it were shaken, and the Law Enforcement Hall continued to protest, and there was even a matter of besieging Ling Xiaofeng, if it wasn't for being admonished by the Great Elder, it was very likely to alarm Liu Feng, who was in retreat.

Outside the sect, the Youyun Sect became more and more rampant after getting the news, and in the absence of new true disciples arriving in the Illusory Demon Mountain Range, it reoccupied the northern area of the Yin Sha Valley and expelled the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect.

However, the most fierce reaction was still the city lord of Xiyue City, Qiu Shaoyang and Zhao Qi arrived in Xiyue City on the day they came forward to inquire in person, faintly guaranteeing Yang Chen.

However, what should come will come after all, and since the sect is determined to investigate, it will not be terminated because of the opposition of one or two people.

Zi Yan and other core disciples didn't know about the murderous intentions hidden behind this interrogation, but they could all feel the suffocating atmosphere that the mountain rain was about to come.

Outside the hall, Yang Tian looked at them and said with a smile: "It's me who is interrogating, and it's not you, don't be so nervous." ”

Everyone smiled reluctantly, without saying a word, Li Ling took a step forward and said boldly: "Young Hall Master, the conflict with the Youyun Sect started because of me, if there is a need, I am willing to testify for you." ”

Yang Tian patted him on the shoulder, smiled, and turned around to walk into the main hall first.

When he entered the main hall, he saw three people sitting side by side on the throne.

The old man who sat in the center, looking calm and serene, but not angry and arrogant, was Han Feng, the leader of the Lingxiao Sect's Illusory Demon Mountain Range this time.

The middle-aged man on the left, wearing a golden purple robe and a bright gaze, nodded slightly to Yang Tian was Zhao Qi, the peak master of Bixiao Peak.

The old man on the right with a serious look and a thin body was none other than the Eighth Elder of the Lingxiao Sect, Qiu Shaoyang, a martial artist in the middle of the Divine Xuan Realm.

Yang Tian entered the hall and calmly greeted the three of them.

After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Qi and Qiu Shaoyang did not speak, sat quietly, and handed over the matter of questioning to Han Feng, who was the highest in cultivation.

Han Feng looked at Yang Tian and said calmly: "Senior nephew's victory over Blood Rain this time, it will not fall into my Lingxiao's reputation, first of all, it is gratifying, but after that, you will drive the unconscious Blood Rain and other Youyun Sect disciples out of the northern region of the Yin Demon Mountain Range, and in the process of fighting, it is not a simple victory, but a deliberate humiliation of Blood Rain, whipping the face, making it break its appearance, and then whipping other Youyun Sect disciples." ”

"The above is the rhetoric of the Youyun Sect, is there any falsehood in it?"

Yang Tian replied lightly: "It's basically true." ”

Han Feng asked, "What do you have to say now?"

Qiu Shaoyang added: "Now, it's not a matter of the fight between you and Xueyu personally, but a major matter between the two sects, please think about it carefully." ”

Yang Tian smiled and said: "Driving them out of the northern area of the Yinshan Mountain Range, firstly, because the other party has repeatedly provoked, and his words and deeds are bad, and secondly, because there is a Purple Flame Spiritual Fire born in that area, which is so rare and rare in a hundred years, naturally it is impossible to tolerate the people of the Youyun Sect to continue to stay there." ”

Han Feng said lightly: "What is the evidence?"

Yang Tian smiled slightly, secretly pulled out a wisp of spiritual fire from the fire spirit, stretched out his palm, and the lilac flame appeared in his palm, burning quietly: "This fire appeared in the lava lake in the north of the Yin Sha Valley, and it has given birth to a weak spiritual intelligence, very explosive, in desperation, the disciple can only attack with all his strength, hurting its origin, and then being affected by the great war, even suffering heavy losses, completely losing its spirituality, and now, it has been initially refined by the disciple." ”

Qiu Shaoyang's eyes condensed slightly, and he said sternly: "On this trip to the Illusory Demon Mountain Range, you are using all the resources of the sect, therefore, the Purple Flame Spiritual Fire should be handed over to the sect and subdued by the refiner or alchemist, why do you want to refine it without authorization?"

Yang Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "It is true that the disciple accepts the Ziyan Spiritual Fire and uses the resources of the sect, but the disciple is also a member of the sect, and at the same time, he is also a middle-grade refiner of the Xuan Rank, so he should be qualified to refine this spiritual fire. ”

"You ······"

Qiu Shaoyang's face sank, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but was interrupted by Han Feng.

"Okay, the Purple Flame Spiritual Fire is discovered and subdued by you, or if you refine it, this matter will not be investigated, as for the Youyun Sect, it has its own sect to deal with it, and you don't need to come forward, but if the disciples of the Youyun Sect challenge you and ask you to learn, you need to deal with it yourself. ”

Yang Tian smiled: "This is natural." ”

Although the Youyun Sect has performed strongly in recent years, as the sect with the deepest heritage, even if the Lingxiao Sect determines that Yang Tian is at fault, it is also an internal punishment, and it must be tough externally, and it will not weaken its momentum in front of the Youyun Sect.

Even if the internal punishment is like this, it will not be too severe, but it will only teach the disciples not to be frivolous and impetuous, and cause meaningless disasters to the sect.

Yang Tian knew that the next thing was the key ······ of this inquiry.
