Chapter 213 See you step by step
"Just today, Elder Wang brought a Yuanying from the Huayi Sect to assassinate this Sect Master in the meeting hall!"

Everyone was shocked!
"Elder Hongfu has arranged a VIP room for those who have returned from the Tiantian City branch to rest first."

"Elder Xu, go and notify all the elders to gather at Maple Forest Pavilion for a meeting."

"Ruyin makes tea."

……

The Golden Core Elder's speed of escape was very fast.
Soon Li Huayuan, Elder Huang, Elder Yang, and Elder Du arrived along with Elder Xu.

Sun Zecheng sat in the main seat in the middle, with Elder Lei and Hong Fu on his left and right, and Nie Ying and Xuan'er standing behind him.

Everyone sat down and Xin Ruyin served the fragrant spiritual tea.

"Just today, Elder Wang brought a Yuanying from the Huayi Sect to assassinate this Sect Master in the meeting hall!"

Master Sun's words frightened the people who came in later so much that they almost couldn't hold their teacups.

After exchanging glances, Li Huayuan asked:

"Where are Elder Wang and that Nascent Soul?"

"This master is here, of course they are dead."

When these words were spoken, there was another round of shock.

Sun Zecheng took out the jade slip and copied the whole process from when he entered the meeting hall to when Wei Lichen used his flying sword to kill him.

Everyone has one, and it flies into everyone's hands.

After reading this, the elders looked solemn.

The Yuanying of Huayi Sect came to kill the Sect Master for no reason, but the Sect Master killed the Yuanying of Huayi Sect in return. In theory, Huang Fenggu was right.

However, this world does not value reason, but strength.

In terms of strength, Huayi Sect is the most powerful sect in the Ten-Nation Alliance. It has Wei Wuya, one of the three great cultivators of Tiannan, who happens to be the great uncle of the murdered Wei Lichen!
I didn't know what to say and the atmosphere was depressing.

……

"Why is this happening?" Elder Xu asked.

"This is all a conspiracy of the Yanyue Sect. Before the assassination of this Sect Master, Linghu Grand Elder had been deceived by the Yanyue Sect for several days."

"Grand Elder Linghu was deceived into going to the Yanyue Sect?" The elders were shocked.

"It will be easier to act only after we trick Grand Elder Linghu away. Otherwise, when the Nascent Soul cultivator comes, it will be difficult for Grand Elder Linghu to receive him." Sun Zecheng said calmly.

"Master, what should we do now?" Li Huayuan asked.

"We must take it step by step. The most urgent task is to rescue Grand Elder Linghu." Sun Zecheng said calmly.

"Yes, let's rescue Grand Elder Linghu first!" Elder Du agreed.

With the Yuanying Grand Elder, we have a backbone.
Wait for Grand Elder Linghu to come back, and he will make the decision on everything!

There is no disagreement on rescuing Grand Elder Linghu first, but the key is how to do it?
"How to save him?" Li Huayuan asked again.

"The six factions of Yue State are allies under a contract, so if they want to assassinate someone, they will use an outsider to do it, and they dare not do it themselves."

"Therefore, this headmaster speculates that they only trapped Grand Elder Linghu and may not dare to harm him."

"The most urgent task is to contact the other four sects, explain that the Yanyue Sect has betrayed us, and work together to put pressure on the Yanyue Sect and rescue Elder Linghu!"

"Let's not talk about the assassination attempt on our leader for now. Let's just say that Grand Elder Linghu was detained in the Yanyue Sect."

"Leave this matter to Elder Li, Elder Huang, Elder Yang, and Elder Xu. Remember, everything is of utmost importance to the return of Grand Elder Linghu!"

"Yes, sir!" the four elders responded in unison.

"Then what should I do?" Elder Du asked.

Elder Du always felt uneasy because he had nothing to do at this time.

"It just so happens that there is something I want to entrust to Elder Du to do."

"Master Sun, please give me your orders!"

"Thank you, Elder Du, for bringing all the members of the Wang family back to the meeting hall. Let Zhong Lingdao and Manager Wu bring a hundred Mulan slaves to assist you." Sun Zecheng said coldly.

Elder Du didn't expect that his mission was this. He was stunned for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes, sir!"

"Let's go! Half an hour after you set off, this master will ring the bell to gather all the disciples and start the formation to guard against the Yanyue Sect or the Huayi Sect."

……

The four sects were shocked when they heard the message from the Golden Core Envoy of Huangfeng Valley!
After all, we all fled here together from the Kingdom of Yue.
Although there are various conflicts of interest within the company,
But detaining the alliance's supreme elder is still unbelievable!

Gongsun Yuanying of the Giant Sword Sect didn't even believe it: "Why would the Moon Cover Sect detain Fellow Daoist Linghu for no reason?"

"You'll know when Master Linghu comes back." Elder Xu remembered what Sect Leader Sun had told him.

"Yes! Let's talk about it after we meet Fellow Daoist Linghu!"

Gongsun Yuanying had no objection to this.

Soon, the Yuanying of the four sects arrived at Linglong Mountain together, and the four elders of Huangfeng Valley followed.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, what does it mean that your Yanyue Sect is detaining Fellow Daoist Linghu?" Gongsun Yuanying asked.

"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, what do you mean by this? Fellow Daoist Linghu is staying in the Yanyue Sect for a few days, and you are here to accuse me of something?"

The Yanyue Sect's Grand Elder was well prepared and pushed through everything completely.

But she secretly wondered in her heart that this was not the original plan;

The original plan was for Wei Lichen to kill Sun Zecheng, use the power of Huayi Sect to force Elder Wang to take over as the head of the sect, and then Elder Wang would come to ask Grand Elder Linghu to go back.

How come the four elders of Huangfeng Valley are now asking the Nascent Soul elders of the other four sects to come and exert pressure on them?
It seems that the plan is not going well.
Perhaps Elder Wang’s prestige is not enough to take over as the head of the sect, so the elders of Huangfeng Valley are eager to ask Linghu Yuanying to go back and make the decision?
The Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect made random guesses.

The only thing he never expected was that Wei Lichen not only failed to kill Sun Zecheng but was killed instead!
"Guest? Why did the elders of Huangfeng Valley tell us that you, the Yanyue Sect, detained Fellow Daoist Linghu?" said Gongsun Yuanying of the Giant Sword Sect.

"Let Supreme Elder Linghu come out to meet everyone and then we will know." Li Huayuan interrupted.

"Yes! Let Fellow Daoist Linghu come out to meet everyone." Li Yuanying of Huadaowu said
"That's right, let Fellow Daoist Linghu come out to meet everyone!" said Patriarch Fang of Tianque Castle.

"What's going on? I'm completely confused. Wouldn't it be better if Brother Zhao asked Brother Linghu to come out and explain it clearly?" said Master Baoxu of Qingxu Sect.

The Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect did not know what happened to Huangfeng Valley in the end.
However, the public is in an uproar right now, so I have no choice but to ask Junior Brother Wu to bring Fellow Daoist Linghu over.

Soon, the Supreme Elder Linghu was brought there.

"Fellow Daoist Linghu!" The Nascent Souls of the other four sects shouted.
"Grand Elder!" the four Jindan elders of Huangfeng Valley shouted.

"Fellow Daoist Linghu, what's going on? Your disciples said that you were detained." asked Gongsun Yuanying of the Giant Sword Sect.

Seeing so many elders from the Huangfeng Valley and Nascent Soul elders from other sects, Elder Linghu immediately guessed something in his mind.

"Speaking of this, I want to ask Brother Daoist Zhao, you said you had something and asked me to come over to discuss it, but you didn't tell me what it was and asked me to wait here for a few days. So tell me what it was!"

"We were originally going to go to the Ten Nations Alliance together, but I have something else to do, so I gave up. If you want to go back, then go back."

The Grand Elder of the Moon-Shattering Sect gave a far-fetched answer. "What on earth is going on?" Gongsun Yuanying of the Giant Sword Sect was puzzled.

The whole thing was weird. The three Nascent Soul elders from Huadaowu, Tianque Fort, and Qingxu Sect were also full of doubts, but they kept silent.

"Please ask Grand Elder Linghu to return to Huangfeng Valley first!" Elder Xu said hurriedly.
The other three Jindan elders understood and immediately echoed in unison: "Please ask Grand Elder Linghu to return to Huangfeng Valley first!"

Linghu Yuanying was originally a very shrewd person. When he heard the four elders of his sect talking like this, he knew clearly that something must have happened in the sect!
He immediately nodded and said, "Let's go back!"

……

On Linglong Mountain, in the Yanyue Sect’s meeting hall.

After the five sects left, Elder Wu, one of the Yuanying of Yanyue Sect, asked, "Senior Sister Zhao, what should we do now?"

The Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect glanced at Junior Brother Wu and said casually, "My Yanyue Sect didn't do anything. What should we do?"

Junior Brother Wu thought about it and realized, yes!

"Senior Sister Zhao's trick of killing with a borrowed knife is really beautiful! However, after this incident, Wei Lichen wants to marry Nangong Wanhe and become his wife...is it convenient?" Junior Brother Wu suddenly thought of something.

"What's the inconvenience?" The Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect glanced at Junior Brother Wu and said disdainfully: "After the marriage between Yanyue Sect and Huayi Sect, would the other sects dare to say a word against it? Even if Huangfeng Valley knew about it, what would it matter?"

"That's right. With the Huayi Sect involved, Huangfeng Valley will have no choice but to swallow its pride." Junior Brother Wu thought about it and felt that this was the case.

……

The Linghu Grand Elder returned to Yuanjialing.

Seeing that their sect’s Nascent Soul Elder had returned, the other elders felt much more at ease.

After Linghu Yuanying read the abridged version of the jade slip and briefly understood what had happened, he immediately conspired with Sun Zecheng alone for a while.

Then, Patriarch Linghu personally issued three orders:

1. Gag order. All those who know about this matter are not allowed to mention Huayi Sect. They must keep their stories straight. Elder Wang of Huangfeng Valley failed in his attempt to rebel and has been executed. They must not mention Huayi Sect at all. Elder Linghu has already confiscated all the jade slips with photos that Sun Zecheng showed to the elders.
2. Elder Wang rebelled against the clan and the Wang family was exterminated;

……

The news soon spread to the Yanyue Sect.

In the Yanyue Sect's meeting hall.

Junior Brother Wu said, "News came from the Yellow Maple Valley that Elder Wang betrayed the sect and committed treason, and the Wang family was exterminated."

Senior Sister Zhao, the Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect, asked coldly: "Where is Wei Lichen? Is there any news about Wei Lichen?"

"No, there has been no news about him." At this point, Junior Brother Wu asked hesitantly, "Senior Sister Zhao, do you think it is possible that Fellow Daoist Wei was killed by the Yellow Maple Valley?"

"Kill him? The old ghost Linghu from Huangfeng Valley was in Linglong Mountain at that time. Who else in Huangfeng Valley has the ability to kill a Yuanying?"

"But if he wasn't killed, what about friend Wei Dao?" Junior Brother Wu was deeply confused.

"I don't know either!" Senior Sister Zhao said in a bad tone.

After a moment of silence, Senior Sister Zhao asked again, "What about Sun Zecheng? Any news?"

"I don't know. There are all kinds of information, and it's very contradictory. He seems to be alive, but no one has seen him." Junior Brother Wu shook his head.

From the day when the Wang family was exterminated, the head of Huangfeng Valley, Sun, also suddenly disappeared from the public eye.

The disciples of Huangfeng Valley will never see Master Sun again.

No one knows where Master Sun is.

There are even rumors that Elder Wang assassinated Sect Leader Sun, which is why the family was exterminated.

However, the elders from the Golden Core Sect of the Huangfeng Valley were strictly following the orders of the Sect Master.

There are also rumors that the person who actually gives orders in Huangfeng Valley is a woman named Nie Ying.

Huang Fenggu never responded to rumors, nor did it pay any attention to them, as if it was intentionally allowing the rumors to spread!

At the same time, Elder Lei, the leader of the Tiantian City branch, also disappeared.

The prosperous Fenglin Pavilion Tiantiancheng branch suddenly stopped operating for unknown reasons.

The other five sects in the Sixth Palace of Yue State were surprised to find that Fenglin Pavilion was deserted!

I don’t understand. I absolutely don’t understand!
Then all kinds of rumors came from Beiliang Kingdom, saying that there was a civil strife in Huangfeng Valley, and the people were killing each other, with heads rolling and corpses everywhere!

It’s hard for Huangfeng Valley’s old customers!
At first they thought that Fenglin Pavilion was out of stock or closed temporarily because of something.
This has happened before,

But the closing time is short.
After all, there are other consignment groceries to sell.

Who knew that Fenglin Pavilion would seem to be closed forever after it closed!
It has been closed for more than half a month and has not reopened yet!
Old customers, especially second-hand dealers, asked other shop assistants in the Sixth Palace of Yue State, only to find out that there was civil unrest in the Huangfeng Valley!
However, it seems that the Yuanjialing branch is open as usual.
Old customers can only come to the Yuanjialing branch to trade.
In this way, more than a month after the Tiantian City branch was closed, with the help of the developed network of middlemen, the transactions of popular goods such as Demon Pills and Maple Forest Pills have basically recovered.

The groceries of the disciples of Huangfeng Valley were the most affected.

Huang Fenggu agreed to let his disciples consign the goods to the shops of Huadaowu or Jujianmen to minimize the impact.

In the production of high-level talismans, the supply of materials commissioned from the Yuanying elders of the other four sects of Yue State to process the talismans suddenly became sufficient!

The four Nascent Souls, especially Qingxu Sect's Master Baoxu, were extremely happy.

In this way, the Yellow Maple Valley was relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside.
Month after month passed in what seemed like a return to normalcy.

The Jindan elders spent month after month in fear.

When the third month passed,
The Jindan elders of Huangfeng Valley even had a fantasy: Wei Lichen's death would just pass quietly.

But this is impossible!
The news came quickly:

The three great cultivators of Tiannan, the Grand Elder of Huayi Sect, Wei Wuya, came out from his retreat.

When I asked about my nephew Wei Lichen, I found out that he had disappeared for three months!
Master Wei immediately asked the Huayi Sect to track down Wei Lichen's whereabouts.

Soon they caught up with the Yanyue Sect!

According to the feedback from the "female apprentice" around Wei Lichen,
Master Wei Lichen once proposed to the Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect.
Then the Yanyue Sect sent a Yuanying named Wu to reject the marriage.

But a new marriage was proposed.

Master Wei Lichen agreed to a new marriage, but there was no follow-up.
Then, Master Wei Lichen left Huayi Sect and went to Linglong Mountain to find out the truth!
Huayi Sect immediately sent Madam Qi to Yanyue Sect to inquire about the situation.
The Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect said that it was true.
Fellow Daoist Wei went to Yanyue Sect to ask for the hand in marriage of a Jindan elder named Nangong Wan.
In order to marry Nangong Wan, Fellow Daoist Wei offered to voluntarily join the Yanyue Sect!

On behalf of the Yanyue Sect, she has agreed to this marriage!

Then Fellow Daoist Wei left Linglong Mountain and has not seen the next step since then.

She asked Madam Qi from Huayi Sect when Fellow Daoist Wei would leave Huayi Sect and join Yanyue Sect to marry Nangong Wan?
Wei Lichen wants to leave Huayi Sect and join Yanyue Sect? !
Huayi Sect is so powerful, and Wei Wuya is Wei Lichen's great uncle.
Wei Lichen will most likely be the successor to the position of Grand Elder of Huayi Sect in the future.
Will he quit Huayi Sect and join Yanyue Sect?
Just to marry a Jindan elder?
Madam Qi felt that it was absurd and unbelievable, but she had no evidence, so she had to go back and report the exact words to the Supreme Elder Wei Wuya.

Wei Wuya knows his own nephew very well!

Knowing that he was secretly practicing the art of replenishing yin and yang,

It is not surprising that he chose to join Yanyue Sect in order to marry the beauties there!
The only problem now is,

Where did Wei Lichen go?
What about people?
