Chapter 50: Scapegoats?

Qingtianhe didn't refute, smiled faintly, stretched out his hand, and pulled out a light curtain in front of him.

"Don't be angry, and that's not what you mean. Please see. With that, his hand went up a little, and a clear image appeared on the light curtain. "In order to ensure that when the time limit is reached, the Lingyun Sect does not complete its task and does other things that harm the cultivator realm, the eight major law enforcement sects have reached an agreement, and each will send an army of 10,000, a total of 80,000 troops, to march towards Lingyun Mountain. Now the army is on its way, and it is gathered here in separate groups, and in less than three days it will be encamped at the foot of the mountain. โ€

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent. Chu Lingyun looked at the light curtain, his face becoming more and more gloomy. "You are a threat. In addition, such an army is swaggering, where is it like supervising?"

Qingtianhe said calmly, "Back to the master, as soon as the army arrives, it is actually not a supervision, but an investigation." If the culprit can't be found, the eight major law enforcement sects can only let the army set foot on Lingyun Mountain. โ€

Chu Lingyun frowned, and pointed at these envoys of the law enforcement sect, "You guys, you deceive people too much! I'm just a medium-sized sect, why do you bother to force each other? Previously, the Boluo Temple openly proposed to want our Lingyun Secret Jane, the ancestral heirloom of our small sect, how could it be given to his faction? Unexpectedly, it was not only the Polo Temple, but all of you eight major sects wanted it! Now that the Secret Slip had been sealed at the time of the destruction of the forbidden phantom array, I can say very responsibly that no matter how you join forces, you will never be able to take it out again!"

Hearing that the Polo Temple wanted to keep it secret, the other seven sects all turned their heads to look at the monks of the Polo Temple, but they quickly turned back again. Chu Lingyun was so angry now, so there was no lack of inappropriate tone in the words he spoke. Qingtian Crane got up and signaled, took the lead himself, and led Kunlun's envoy out of the meeting hall, while the people from other sects also left in twos and threes, and whatever Chu Lingyun said, they all acted as if they hadn't heard.

After all these people left, the council chamber exploded at once. People rose up in anger, accusing these sects of doing things in twos and threes, and some people directly gritted their teeth and stomped their feet and scolded. Chu Lingyun was quiet now, sitting there without saying a word.

After a long time, people noticed the attitude of the boss and gradually quieted down. Chu Lingyun only took a deep breath at this time and said slowly, "I can understand everyone's feelings. But now, it's not time to scold and complain. The 80,000-strong army is about to be defeated, and we should always have a foolproof strategy. โ€

The deputy head shook his head again and again, "Boss, if it is 8,000 troops, we can still give it a go, but how can we be safe with these 80,000? I don't know what this Crimson Moon is, and even whether someone deliberately framed it, we can't be sure." โ€

Chu Lingyun smiled bitterly and looked at the people in the seat. "Everyone is the core elder of my Spirit Cloud Sect. The Lingyun Sect has fallen to such a point that it may even be wiped out, I don't think anyone wants it. Of course, there may be someone who is the exception. Elder Masaki, what do you think?"

Elder Zhengji is actually an elder in the sect who is responsible for the cultural education and ideological work of his disciples. Hearing the boss call himself, he was stunned at first, and then stood up, "What the boss said is extremely true." I have been in charge of the government for thirteen years, and I know very well the deep feelings of my disciples for Lingyun Mountain. โ€

Chu Lingyun's eyes suddenly burst out with a cold light, "In that case, then why do you still want to be in cahoots with Li Yuanshan Wolf Bรจi and develop many evil cultivators in the sect?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked except for the head, deputy head and law enforcement elders. Elder Zhengji even knelt on the ground, his face was pale, two lines of turbid tears welled up, and his voice trembled, "The head of the family is clearly checked." I know that the head of the sect has already realized that it has something to do with me after the incident of the evil cultivator broke out, and he has not exposed it for so long, firstly, for the sake of my face, and secondly, he does not want the sect to suffer greater losses. I also knew that I was guilty of a lot of sin, so in this battle to quell the evil cultivators, I did my best and provided various indirect clues. โ€

Chu Lingyun let out a long sigh, "Alas. Now I just want to ask you, the Crimson Moon has nothing to do with you? If you really have the ability to create the Crimson Moon, I am afraid that among these evil art cultivators, I am afraid that you are the only one. โ€

The muscles on Elder Masaki's face twitched, and he slowly shook his head, "Back to the master, it has nothing to do with me. In addition, from the beginning to the end, I only practiced the exercises passed on by the Lingyun Sect, and never set foot in evil arts. โ€

"Developed so many cultivators of evil arts, and said that they had not set foot in evil arts!"

"It's just, I didn't expect it to be you!"

Some elders couldn't help but scold, but Chu Lingyun waved his hand in time to stop it. Elder Zhengji burst into tears and whimpered, "The head of the sect is clear. I was also forced to do what Li Yuanshan asked. I know that what I have done has caused a huge loss to the sect, and there is no chance of recovery, and now there is only one way to go. However, I hope that the head of the family can help me save my poor daughter from Li Yuanshan's hands. โ€

After that, Elder Zhengji bowed down deeply, and the moment his head touched the ground, a white light appeared around him, enveloping him tightly. Chu Lingyun's complexion changed greatly, and "Don't ......" took a step forward at the same time.

However, he still didn't have time. After the white light, Elder Masaki tilted his body and lay on the ground, without any breath.

Everyone was silent. Chu Lingyun sat back in his seat and sighed again and again. "Why bother, why bother, alas......"

"Don't worry, boss. It was Elder Chuangong who said this, and he stepped forward slowly, "At present, the sect crisis has to be taken seriously. Now that Elder Zhengji has gone, the cultivators of evil arts are naturally missing the backbone of the sect, and after Li Yuanshan came once, he blatantly went up the mountain again, and the possibility is not very likely in the short term, so the matter of eliminating the cultivators of evil arts can be completed in a few days. And this crimson moon depends on the determination of the leader. โ€

Chu Lingyun slowly raised his head, "Determination? My determination has always been strong, but there is no clue at all!"

Elder Chuangong shook his head, "The head of the sect has misunderstood what I meant. When I say determination, I mean determination to sacrifice. Whoever created the Crimson Moon always needs someone to take responsibility. And if someone can take on this responsibility, then there is no suitable reason for the eight major law enforcement sects to openly use troops to attack my Lingyun Mountain in front of all the sects in the world. โ€

Chu Lingyun could hear what Elder Chuangong was saying, and asked, "What does Elder mean?"

Elder Chuangong looked at the crowd, "What I said, some people may disagree. But this matter is about the safety of the sect, I should build yรฌ, or should I build yรฌ. In the Crimson Moon, we can't find out, and of course the eight major law enforcement sects can't find out. They have been here for so long and have not come up with anything worthwhile at all. So, if we say that someone created the Crimson Moon, they must not have enough reason to refute it. In this way, as long as we have a good reason, they can only obediently withdraw their troops. So, the key is this person, who we look for. โ€

Chu Lingyun nodded, "That makes sense. However, after all, it is difficult to convince an ordinary person. โ€

The deputy head stepped forward at this time, "Otherwise, it will be said that it is Elder Zhengji?"

Chu Lingyun denied, "No." If a person is dead, it will be said that there is no proof of death. โ€

Elder Chuangong looked at Elder Zhengji, and then looked at everyone, "What the head said is right. In fact, there is a person who is more suitable than the Elder of Political Discipline. That was Wan Peng, who was the first in the Qi refining group at the last martial arts exercise. โ€

"Wan Peng, no, no!" Salata was the first to shout and stand up, "That's my apprentice, how can you make him a scapegoat? I said pass on the gong, you old man wants to get along with me, don't you? Why don't you choose your ......own apprentice?"

"Quiet!" Chu Lingyun interrupted him and motioned to Elder Chuangong, "You continue to state your reasons. โ€

"Good. Elder Chuangong looked at Salata, "Don't get excited, just listen to me." There is a reason why I chose Wanpeng. First, he is in the outer gate, and his cultivation has not risen for many years, and it is a miracle to enter the inner gate and advance by leaps and bounds. This, of course, is the most minor. Second, he comprehended the sword qi during the qi refining period, and it was okay to say that he was a genius, but it was okay to say that he violated the law. Thirdly, the formations he used were extremely complex and powerful, and they didn't seem to be something that could be learned from our sect at all. And he is just a pawn, how can he have the opportunity to learn from other sects? Fourth, he has attracted thunder and evil clouds, which is also a kind of vision that is not very common. All this, without a single rational explanation. If we say that he caused the Crimson Moon, on the whole, what is impossible? And what do the eight major law enforcement sects use to refute us? What do you think, Sect Elder?"

Salata was like eating a fly at this time, and after a long time, he finally came up with a sentence, "No, I don't agree, I resolutely disagree!"

Chu Lingyun is also very complicated now. He held his chin in one hand and stroked his beard with some gaffe. There is also a lot of discussion in the righteous hall now, but in fact, there are very few people who stand on the side of Wan Peng.

Because, he is considered an outsider.

After a long time, Chu Lingyun stood up and said slowly, "What Elder Chuangong said is reasonable. But this is also the way to go in the end. Before the deadline is reached, we will go all out to track down the perpetrators of the Crimson Moon. If Wan Peng is really sacrificed for the sect in the end, I think this is also the value of his life. Dispatch Elder, I hope you will focus on the big picture. In addition, the matter of evil arts has not yet been over, and now you are the deputy commander of the evil arts purge, and you have moved to my separate courtyard, where you will live with me, and you are not allowed to leave without permission. โ€

Salata was shocked, isn't this a typical house arrest? But before he could react, the head of the house had already announced the adjournment of the meeting and walked out of the door. He hurriedly chased after him and argued with the boss. But now Chu Lingyun is already iron-hearted, and he has no intention of changing it.

At this time, Wan Peng, who was cultivating under the protection of the Imperial Dragon Guarding Palace Array, was inexplicably restless. He stepped out of the room, looked at the swimming ice dragon, and glanced thoughtfully at the mountain peaks in the distance.

It was a feeling he had never felt before, or rather, an intuition!
