Aoki Sect, the main hall at the top of Danfeng Peak.

At this time, in front of the offering table where the statue of the patriarch is enshrined, several monks with a strong and restrained bearing have been seated on the futons on both sides of the row.

On the left was Lu Zhi, one of the deputy peak masters, and behind him stood Jiang Feng, who was standing with his head down.

On the opposite side was Leng Yuanyuan, another deputy peak master, sitting on the futon with a cold face, looking calmly ahead without squinting. Behind her were two female cultivators who stood quietly with their eyes down, one of them was Qin Haitang, who had only met Han Dong yesterday, and the other was indeed going to the Cultivator's Courtyard not long ago to arrest Leng Qiumin, a female cultivator in the palace skirt who had been in the courtyard of Leng Xiuran.

Qin Haitang was suddenly summoned to the main hall of Danfeng, and before entering the hall, she felt a little relieved after getting Jiang Feng's eyes, but she still couldn't help but look a little worried.

Under Leng Yuanyuan, the deputy peak, there are two old men with white beards, sitting on the futon with their eyes closed, calming down.

These two men are the elders who are primarily responsible for the specific affairs of the presbytery. One is named Lian Zhenjiang, who is in charge of the affairs of the elders in Danfeng, and the other is in charge of the affairs of Danfeng's disciples, named Hong Tao.

didn't wait long, a spiritual light outside the hall broke through the sky, and the Danfeng Peak Lord revealed his figure in front of the hall, still wearing the snow-white long skirt, and stepped into the hall with lotus steps.

Including Lu Zhi and Leng Yuanyuan, several people in the hall hurriedly got up and saluted Li Mulan.

After Li Mulan sat down in Pu Yu in the main seat, the rest of the people took their seats. Naturally, a few disciples of the younger generation could only stand aside.

Li Mulan looked at Leng Yuanyuan and motioned for her to explain the reason for calling everyone this time.

Leng Yuanyuan got the signal, and said directly: "There is a rebellion in the territory of Aoki's jurisdiction, and Shi Zhongyu, the elder who defected from my Danfeng before, is also among them, and he joined forces with the people of the Demon Dao to severely damage Lu Fangbu, the descendant of Zhan Feng! After investigation, it was Lu Fangyu who unintentionally discovered the traces of the remnants of the Demon Dao, and was greedy for merit, intending to arrest him without authorization and fall into the trap. But this matter seems to have something to do with my Danfeng. Jiang Feng, Qin Haitang!"

Jiang Feng and Qin Haitang hurriedly stood up from behind them, bowed down to the peak master in the hall, and responded in unison: "The disciple is here." ”

Leng Yuanyuan's eyes were like ice, she looked at the two of them coldly, and said, "I heard that when Lu Fangbu left the sect, the three of you also had a secret meeting in Jiangfeng Cave Mansion?"

Jiang Feng smiled bitterly: "Returning to the Leng Deputy Peak Master, there is indeed such a thing." The disciple learned from his master a month ago that Shi Zhongyu, the elder of the peak, had defected, and after pursuing, he happened to get some clues. The cultivation of the jade in the stone under consideration was only Ning Dan, so I privately discussed with Senior Brother Lu Fangbu, and planned to pursue it secretly. Senior Sister Qin Haitang just happened to return from Shi Zhongyu's absconding direction, and was involved by the two of us to ask some questions, without knowing in advance. Please ...... the main sub-peak"

"Don't be in a hurry to say nonsense, Qin Haitang, is what Jiang Feng said true?" Leng Yuanyuan didn't wait for him to finish, interrupted Jiang Feng's words, and turned to look at Qin Haitang.

Qin Haitang only felt a cold aura enveloping her, and she could only say in a nervous voice: "Indeed... Indeed it is. ”

"Hmph!" Leng Yuanyuan snorted coldly, and then asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter with that Zhan Feng and my Peak's foundation building disciple?"

Jiang Feng hurriedly took a step forward and was about to speak, but was glared back by Lu Zhi.

Qin Haitang could only bite the bullet and say: "This ...... I don't know. ”

Leng Yuanyuan then moved her gaze to Jiang Feng and motioned to him: "Back to Deputy Peak Master Leng, that day was just a coincidence, the two low-level disciples happened to know each other, and that Zhan Feng Foundation Disciple had practiced in the Danfeng Cultivation Courtyard for a period of time. The remnants of the Demon Dao have nothing to do with the two of them. ”

Leng Yuanyuan was about to be questioned, but Li Mulan, who was sitting in the main seat, waved her hand to stop her, and said to the two: "In that case, you two should retreat first." ”

"Yes, Peak Master. Jiang Feng and Qin Haitang withdrew from the main hall as they said, and after glancing at each other outside the hall, the two of them drove away and left.

After Jiang Feng and Qin Haitang left, Li Mulan quipped: "Senior Sister Leng, after all, Jiang Feng is also a senior disciple of Senior Brother Lu, you have to save some face for Senior Brother Lu." ”

Leng Yuanyuan also responded with a handrail: "Yes, Peak Master." It caused Li Mulan to roll her eyes for a while.

Lu Zhi watched his nose and nose and mouth on the sidelines, and remained silent.

Then Li Mulan said, "This time you want to let Min'er go?"

Leng Yuanyuan nodded and did not speak.

Li Mulan persuaded with some concern: "Why don't you change the elder, after all, Min'er has just Ning Dan." It is very likely that the other party has an infant transformation level. ”

Leng Yuanyuan just got up and saluted Li Mulan, and said word by word: "Please allow the peak master!"

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, it's useless to persuade you. ”

Leng Yuanyuan replied respectfully: "Lord Xie Feng." Then he got up, didn't look back, and ordered Leng Qiumin, who had been waiting on the side.

"Leng Qiumin. ”

"The disciple is here. Leng Qiumin moved to the hall and saluted respectfully.

"A day later, I accompanied Zhan Feng to help find out the remnants of Shi Zhongguo's Demon Dao. ”

"Yes, Lingleng Deputy Peak Commander. After saying that, he got up and left.

Li Mulan raised her hand to beckon Leng Qiumin, and raised her hand to wave a spiritual light that floated towards Leng Qiumin: "Min'er, take it for self-defense." ”

After Leng Qiumin bowed respectfully again, he held the cool emerald green hosta in his hand and slowly walked towards the outside of the hall.

After the juniors had completely left, the two elders with white beards opened their eyes and straightened their sleeves.

At the same time, Li Mulan also put away the trace of relaxation and said, "Yuanyuan, let's hear what you know first......

"This matter is a long story, but this time the remnants of the Demon Dao reappeared in the realm of my sect to cause chaos, and it is also related to a previous foundation building disciple of my peak, her name is Zhong Ling'er......"

After Leng Yuanyuan explained the ins and outs, several people in the hall frowned. Especially Lu Zhi, he didn't expect that Han Dong would be involved here, and it didn't seem to be shallow!

If Jiang Feng was here, he would definitely be shocked by Leng Yuanyuan's words, because of Zhong Ling'er's matter, he even hid Lu Zhi and didn't tell him!

Leng Yuanyuan, how did she know?! Moreover, from what she just said, it was even more detailed than Jiang Feng knew!

"So, could it be that Deputy Peak Master Leng had already had doubts about that Zhong Ling'er's identity early on, so he just stared at a cultivator when he first entered?"

Lu Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at Leng Yuanyuan, from the many details she just said, many of them were also related to Han Dong, and they were not much worse than Jiang Feng's report to him, maybe Zhong Ling'er was not the only one who was being supervised by Leng Yuanyuan.

Leng Yuanyuan glanced back at Lu Zhi calmly: "It's just a necessary combing." ”

"In that case, presumably that Elder Shi Zhongyu is also in the possession of Deputy Peak Lord Leng's intelligence?"

"Elder Hong Tao, Elder Lian Zhenjiang, and the two of you will explain in detail the situation that has appeared on Shi Zhongyu since Zhong Ling'er became a Dantong, as well as after coming into contact with Zhong Ling'er. Leng Yuanyuan did not answer Lu Zhi, but turned to the two elders who had been silent and sat quietly beside her.

"Zhong Ling'er has been in contact with Shi Zhongyu three times since she became a Dantong, once in the alchemy mission, and once in the dense forest, and there is nothing unusual after the first two contacts, and there is nothing special in the process of interacting with other Dantongs. Only after meeting Shi Zhongyu outside the Dantong Courtyard for the third time, he was in an abnormal mood, and then went to find Han Dong, who was also a Dantong. ”

Speaking of this, Elder Hong Tao glanced at Lu Zhi on the other side. After feeling his gaze, Lu Zhi bowed his head lightly and said, "Elder Hong, it's okay to say it. ”

Only then did Hong Tao continue to narrate: "After meeting at Han Dong's residence, Zhong Ling'er had obvious abnormal behavior and applied to the Hall of Elders to leave the sect that night. After the elder hall reported to the Leng Vice Peak Master and made a decision, in order to avoid startling the snake, it was decided to let him go. After investigation, the last time Zhong Ling'er got the news from Shi Zhongyu, it should be related to Shi Zhongguo's coup d'état. ”

After Hong Tao finished speaking, Lian Zhenjiang took over the conversation: "Shi Zhongyu has been in the sect since one hundred and fifty years ago, in fact, he has not behaved abnormally for many years, his alchemy technique is mediocre, and his cultivation is now in the late stage of Ning Dan decades ago, and he has not advanced an inch. It wasn't until he returned from a field mission thirty years ago that he became reticent and gradually isolated himself. Since then, there has been no record of leaving the sect for decades, except for one trip ten years ago and one trip three years ago. It wasn't until more than a month ago that this person's secret departure was not recorded in the Elder Hall, which attracted the attention of the Elder Hall. It was also since he returned to the sect a month ago and met with Zhong Ling'er that this person abandoned the light and turned to the darkness and defected into the devil's path. ”

"Three years ago, how could it be such a coincidence? Could it be ......" Hearing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but let out a loud voice, the time when Shi Zhongyu left the sect reminded him of the peak master meeting three years ago.

Leng Yuanyuan took over the conversation and said calmly: "Three years ago, it was when the Sword God Sect under my sect was wiped out. At that time, it was also related to Qi Tianzong and the Ancient Dao Sect, if it was not found out at that time that it was the remnants of the Demon Dao who were demons behind it, this would have eased the accountability of both Qi Tianzong and the Ancient Dao Sect and saved a sect catastrophe. It was only after his defection that the Church of the Elders became suspicious of this. ”

After listening to this, everyone present was already able to roughly guess the intention of the Elder Hall, and after pondering for a long time, Lu Zhi said: "I really can't imagine that the layout of the evil obstacle of the Demon Dao is so long-term, and this time the thief's heart is not dead, it is obvious that he has a plan against my Aoki Sect. It's just that why Shi Zhongyu, a chess piece hidden so deeply in Danfeng, would surface like this for a Zhong Ling'er? How is this different from self-defeating identity? Could it be that Zhong Ling'er is so important?"

Leng Yuanyuan actually didn't have a clear understanding of this layer, and said: "Actually, the Elder Hall also has doubts. It is said that although the Elder Hall noticed Zhong Ling'er and Shi Zhongyu, all this was carried out secretly, and there was no obvious action. Besides, even if you want to abandon your son, you should abandon Zhong Ling'er, a small foundation that has no role in the sect. ”

Lian Zhenjiang on the side said tentatively: "Could it be ......?"

"Well, now that this matter is clear, this is the end of today's deliberations. For the rest, I will report to Qingyun Peak, and when the time comes, it will be up to the sect master to decide. Yuanyuan stays, and you all disperse. Without waiting for everyone to continue speculating, Li Mulan interrupted Lian Zhenjiang with her mouth and said indifferently.

Everyone could only listen to the order, and after the two elders Lu Zhi and Lian Hong saluted, they walked out side by side, and Li Mulan's voice came from behind him: "Lu Zhi, this time it was your disciple who caused trouble, you go to Zhan Feng by yourself to explain to Gao Sweet Potato, I don't bother to deal with him." ”

Lu Zhi, who was halfway through, turned around and saluted with a wry smile: "Yes, Peak Master." ”

After everyone left, Li Mulan looked at Leng Yuanyuan and said angrily: "Is Min'er your daughter or my daughter, and you just pushed her to wade into this troubled water?"

Leng Yuanyuan was silent for a long time, but she still shook her head and didn't say anything.

Li Mulan hated iron and said angrily: "Where can you be such a mother! Even if you have high requirements for her, it is still too early for her to be involved in the matter of the Demon Dao now." ”

Leng Yuanyuan turned her head to look outside the hall, her tone was as cold and calm as ever: "Since she rejected Fa Feng back then and chose to stay here, then this is what she should do......"
