Ji Qing'an led the righteous path master to set up a camp under Gu Yu City, but in Gu Yu City, in a magnificent hall, the atmosphere was quite depressed and dignified.

The main hall is called the Cold Moon Palace, and it is the place where the Cold Moon Sect usually deliberates and decides.

Under normal circumstances, the person who presides over the affairs in this Cold Moon Hall should naturally be Qiu Yiyan, the sect leader of the Cold Moon Sect, but since Qiu Yiyan sat on the position of the sect leader, he rarely appeared in the Cold Moon Sect, let alone come forward to preside over major events. As a result, the responsibility of presiding over various affairs in this Cold Moon Sect fell to the left and right masters or left and right commanders who assisted the sect leader.

It's just that now the sect leader doesn't know his whereabouts, and the left and right palm envoys and the left and right palm envoys have all gone to Wangshan Plains to confront the righteous path and the imperial army, and in the entire Gu Yuan City, there are only the two elders who can be called high-level missionaries and teaching, and the rest are not the real high-level of the Cold Moon Sect even if they are the three flag envoys.

Now, including the two elders, the three flag envoys, and a dozen or so deputy flag envoys have all gathered in this Cold Moon Palace, discussing how to deal with the current situation.

Missionary Elder Ning Hongshan was a tall and thin old man dressed in white, while Elder Bai Likong was short and fat and dressed in gray.

Although the high-ranking members of the Cold Moon Sect are no longer there, these two people obviously still don't dare to sit on the main seat that belongs to the Cold Moon Sect Master, and only sit down on either side of the sect leader's seat.

And standing in front of them were naturally the three flag bearers and more than a dozen deputy flag bearers.

Three flag bearers, two men and one woman.

The two men were Tu Wanshan, the head of the Houtu Banner, and Wu Canghai, the head of the Golden Lion Flag, both of whom were dressed in purple robes and burly figures.

And the flag envoy of the Beiyun Banner is named Cai Qiongyue, who is also Wu Qinghua's master. This Cai Qiongyue is a rare female flag bearer in the Cold Moon Sect, and she doesn't look like a flag bearer in charge of one side at all, but like a young woman in her thirties.

Speaking of which, in the Cold Moon Sect, although all the flag envoys of all parties are in the Qi Realm, their cultivation is generally around the middle level of the Qi Realm, and this is the case with Tu Wanshan and Wu Canghai.

Compared with these two people, Cai Qiongyue's cultivation is worse, but she has only entered the qi realm for a year or two, and it is estimated that she has just stabilized the realm, so naturally she can't compare with Tu Wanshan, Wu Canghai and other masters who have been in the qi realm for more than ten years.

However, whether it was in Gu Yuan City or in the entire Cold Moon Sect, no one dared to despise this Cai Qiongyue.

Since Cai Qiongyue joined the Cold Moon Sect, she has not only acted decisively and has a lot of means, but she has also entered the Qi Realm at the age of thirty, although she is not as good as those peerless geniuses, but her talent is not bad, and in the Cold Moon Sect, she can be regarded as a person with great ability and talent.

However, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this Cai Qiongyue is the person appointed by the sect leader Qiu Yiyan to become the flag leader.

Since Qiu Yiyan became the leader of the Cold Moon Sect, all the teaching affairs have basically been handed over to the left and right master envoys and the left and right command envoys to take care of, and she herself rarely shows up, and even the real high-level leaders of the Cold Moon Sect, such as the missionary elders and the Dharma elders, have not seen one or two sides in a year, and the rest of the new tasks may not even know what Qiu Yiyan looks like.

But although Qiu Yiyan basically ignored the teaching affairs, but in the entire Cold Moon Sect, no one dared to disobey her, let alone worry about any power and the like.

Of course, none of this is because the members of the Cold Moon Sect or the higher-ups are loyal to the position of the sect leader. The Cold Moon Sect is in the middle of the rivers and lakes, and it is naturally inevitable that the strong are respected by the iron law of the rivers and lakes, as the head of a sect, it is also necessary to have the strength to suppress the entire sect in order to make the sect members surrender.

And Qiu Yiyan is exactly like this, although she rarely shows up, but her super strength and the world are there, like a high mountain standing there for people to look up to, no matter what kind of thoughts everyone has in their hearts, naturally they don't dare to be disrespectful.

It must be known that in today's rivers and lakes, there are only four masters of artistic conception, and this Qiu Yiyan is the youngest and most mysterious person in the legend, and the only woman among the four.

Regardless of the rest, but just the four words of this artistic conception master are enough to shock the entire Cold Moon Sect.

Therefore, although Cai Qiongyue's strength is insufficient and her qualifications are also insufficient, since she is the flag leader supported by Qiu Yiyan, then unless the leader of the Cold Moon Sect is replaced, and Qiu Yiyan is no longer the leader of the Cold Moon Sect, no one dares to say anything about her.

Now the masters of the Cold Moon Sect gathered in the Cold Moon Palace, listening to Cai Qiongyue's report on the loss of the bridge.

Cai Qiongyue previously led the bannermen of the Beiyun Banner to intercept Ji Qing'an, but in the end she was defeated and had no choice but to withdraw, not only was she a little embarrassed at this moment, but her expression was naturally extremely ugly.

After listening to her cold voice and explain the previous things in detail, she immediately knelt on the ground with a hand and said, "Two elders, it is the subordinates who are not well guarded, so that those righteous thieves have taken the Nai He Bridge and come to the foot of the Holy City, this is the subordinate country, please punish the two elders!"

Cai Qiongyue knelt down, and several of his subordinates, including the two deputy flag envoys, immediately knelt directly to the ground.

Each of the banner envoys has four deputy flag envoys, and the cultivation of the deputy flag envoys is at least above the potential realm, and some of the high ones may even reach the qi realm, but the deputy flag envoys of the qi realm are naturally very few.

Cai Qiongyue's subordinates were the deputy flag envoys of the four potential realms, except for Zhang Haishan, who was near Zhang Ye Town, the other three followed her. It's just that in the previous battle to capture the bridge, although it was hasty, but under the surprise attack of the righteous path masters led by Ji Qing'an, Beiyun Banner suffered heavy losses, leaving hundreds of corpses, and the deputy flag envoy of a situation was also damaged in the battle, so Cai Qiongyue's face was naturally not good-looking.

Seeing Cai Qiongyue kneeling in the hall, the missionary elder Ning Hongshan and the Dharma Elder Bailikong, who were on a high seat, couldn't help but glance at each other.

Although the sneak attack of the righteous path came suddenly, a dereliction of duty was a dereliction of duty, and the two elders were naturally a little dissatisfied with Cai Qiongyue in their hearts. But seeing Cai Qiongyue kneeling reluctantly, even if the two elders had the heart, they didn't dare to punish her so rashly.

At that moment, I saw that Ning Hongshan, the missionary elder of the difficult mission, pondered for a moment, and said, "However, the loss of the bridge is indeed a dereliction of duty of the Beiyun Banner, but at the moment, the great enemy is at present, and it is not appropriate to cause internal chaos, so the punishment of the Beiyun Banner will be put aside a few times, and we will deal with it after the punishment elder returns." Cai Qi, you get up first. ”

Hearing Ning Hongshan say this, Cai Qiongyue stood up without saying a word, while Tu Wanshan, the leader of the thick earth flag, and Wu Canghai, the head of the Golden Lion Flag, couldn't help but glance at each other, as if they had already talked about this ending.

In the Cold Moon Sect, the dereliction of duty or violation of the canon rules of each sect member is naturally punished by the punishment elders, although the rules are the same, but now that the punishment elders are no longer in the city, then as the most powerful missionary elders and law-giving elders at the moment, they naturally also have the power to dispose of the sect members.

Therefore, the reason why Ning Hongshan left the punishment of Cai Qiongyue for the future is obviously not that he really can't, he just doesn't want to. As for why he didn't want to, naturally he was not afraid of offending Cai Qiongyue, but worried that it would cause the sect leader to be unhappy.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were different, Ning Hongshan coughed lightly, changed the topic, and said, "For now, let's talk about how to deal with those righteous thieves." ”

After a pause, he only listened to Ning Hongshan's voice and said in a deep voice, "These thieves have a lot of plans, although there are only three or four hundred people, but they have brought in five or six Qi realm masters who have been famous for a long time, and even Ao Donghai, the old guy who has not moved for more than ten years, has also rushed over, but it is really difficult to deal with." ”

Ao Donghai is one of the six Qi realm masters who followed Ji Qing'an this time, and he is also the strongest among them.

This Ao Donghai is not from Wuhou Mansion, but from Aquila Castle.

The Heavenly Eagle Castle is on the edge of Wangshan Plain, not far from the Cold Moon Sect's sphere of influence, there is no shortage of battles between the two, and the people of the Cold Moon Sect are naturally very familiar with the masters of the Heavenly Eagle Castle.

This Ao Donghai is the master of Aquila Castle, but this Ao Donghai has been famous for a long time, and in the past ten years, he has hardly appeared in the rivers and lakes, and many people even think that this Ao Donghai has fallen, but he doesn't want to suddenly appear today, and followed that Ji Qing'an to secretly kill his aunt under the city, which is indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

Hearing Ning Hongshan say this, Baili Kong, who had been cold and silent for many years, also spoke, "Ao Donghai, this old horseman, although his talent is like this, although the artistic conception is absolutely impossible, but after all, he has reached the high level of qi ten years ago, and now I am afraid that he has reached the point of consummation." The rest of the people don't care, but if this old puppet makes a move, I'm afraid it will have to be two of us to stop him!"

Hearing Bailikong say this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but change their faces.

There are only five Qi Realm masters in Gu Yu City, and Ning Hongshan and Baili Kong, the two high-level Qi Realm elders, are the two strongest ones, if Ao Donghai alone needs these two elders to join forces to deal with it, what should the rest of the Qi Realm masters do?

At that moment, everyone's faces were a little ugly, seeing that everyone was silent, the palm of the Golden Lion Banner made Wu Canghai laugh twice, and said, "My subordinates feel that the two elders don't need to worry so much, although the righteous path thieves who came to sneak attack are strong, but my sister-in-law has deep ditches and high walls in the city, and there are nearly 10,000 sect members to defend it, it can be described as impregnable, they only have only four hundred people, even if there are masters such as Ao Donghai, if they want to attack the city, how easy is it!"

Wu Canghai intended to boost everyone's morale, who would have thought that as soon as the words fell, he heard the hundred miles of air cry coldly, "Confused! You are still the flag bearer of the Golden Lion Banner!"

Wu Canghai was stunned, immediately lowered his head, and arched his hand and said, "Uh...... The subordinates are dull, please ask the elders for advice. ”

Bailikong only glared at him, but did not speak, but Ning Hongshan opened his mouth and said, "Gu Yu City has high walls and deep ditches, and it is heavily defended, although it can block those righteous thieves, but it is not easy to stop such a top master as Ao Donghai." Ao Donghai alone is already extremely difficult, who knows what kind of strength the rest of the righteous path masters are? If these six people join forces to break into the city, although it is true that they will not be able to capture the holy city, can we sit back and watch them destroy in the city?"

After a pause, this Ning Hongshan continued, "Besides, right now, the main force of my righteous path is confronting the righteous path in Wangshan Plain, even if those people under the city don't break into the city, just because the news of this holy city being besieged goes to Wangshan Yuan, I'm afraid it will not have a good impact!"

Hearing Ning Hongshan say this, everyone in the hall wanted to understand the secret, and their faces became even more ugly.

Wu Canghai was also anxious, and couldn't help but say urgently, "This...... Two elders, what can I do about this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Baili Kong glared at him fiercely, "If the two of us have an idea, we still need to call you all over!"

Wu Canghai's neck shrank, and he suddenly didn't dare to say a word more.
