On the third day after the year-end gambling game, another news came to Liushi Peak. The four factions Pingyuan, Liyang, Xuantong, and Yuxu joined forces to capture Guimenyuan. Ji Hongru, Xu Huang, and Han Chisong joined forces. He wounded Gou Xie, the red-eyed snake king, captured Qi Luo, the human-faced dove, and found Qi Du's head. Qi Du was murdered and his head was decapitated with a sword. His body was scattered under the abyss of the ghost gate and swallowed by monsters. The flying sword and storage bag were missing. Only the head fell into Qi Luo's hands, and the skin and flesh were gnawed away, leaving him alone. A skull dropped.
What is even more unexpected is that the group of people evacuated Guimenyuan and discovered the whereabouts of the monster in Yin Yang Ridge. After tracing all the way, they actually captured the three-eyed civet Miaozi who had taken away the human body. She was Xi Huzi's Made of "bone-attached needles", there is not much left of the body's cultivation, just hanging on. Ji Hongru, the head of Pingyuan, pressed hard and found out that Qin Zhen, a disciple of the Xiandu sect, helped her heal her wounds with a red-scaled sword dragon kissing fire in exchange for a three-eyed civet to teach her how to practice the sword technique.
Pingyuan sect Qi Du and Xiandu sect Hou Jiangcheng died in Guimenyuan one after another. Qin Zhen also secretly communicated with the three-eyed civet. Ji Hongru couldn't help but wonder whether there was an ulterior conspiracy. He became suspicious, so he immediately went to Xian Yun Peak to argue with Deng Yuantong, the acting head of Xiandu, and demanded Qin Zhen for "teaching demons". Deng Yuantong pushed back in every possible way and was determined to protect Qin Zhen. Ji Hongru immediately flew his sword and sent a letter to Liushi Peak, asking the Kunlun Presbyterian Council to make a decision.
Just after the Tianling crisis passed, the Guimenyuan crisis arose again. Wei Shiqi heard the news from Qingming, pondered for a moment, and said: "This happened because of me, why don't I go to Xianyun again?" Let Feng go and settle the matter."
Qingming asked: "How do you plan to settle it?"
Wei Shiqiu said with a smile: "Who is the swordsman? It’s up to whoever has the best swordsmanship, this is just another gamble!”
Qingming smacked his lips and said, “That’s right, it’s up to you whether you help me or not. Yunfeng's mediation requires the approval of the Elder Council. You are from the Immortal City, so you should avoid suspicion. Xing Yue is very stubborn, and it is not easy to convince him."
"Elder Xing...isn't easy to talk to?"
"It's hard to talk. He has opinions about you."
"Us?"
"You - Ruan Jing, Jiang Yongshou, Pan Yun, and you, you guys!"
Wei Shiqi frowned, and the four factions came to Xianyun Peak to force the palace, and there were people behind them. The relationship was complicated, and it gave me a headache just thinking about it. If Elder Xing If we get involved again, I don't know what kind of chaos it will become.
Qingming rolled his eyes and patted his thigh to give him an idea, "It's actually not difficult to go. The heads of Xuantong and Yuxu sects are from the Five Elements Sect, and the head of the Pingyuan sect is from Kunpeng. The sect has long since fallen to the side of the Five Elements sect. Pu Tianwei intends to annex the Feiyu sect, and Qin Zijie is thinking about rectifying the seven side branches. This is a good opportunity to put pressure on the Xiandu sect and cut off the wings of the Feiyu sect. The only thing to worry about is Li Yang faction, you are the mediator as the nephew of the master. Xu Huang will not object for your sake. Therefore, as long as you sideline the Five Elements Sect, Pu Tianwei will definitely help you go to Xianyun. Peak.”
Wei Shiqi thought about it for a while and felt that Qingming's analysis made sense, but he was clearly the leader, so why did he intentionally or unintentionally pave the way for Park Tianwei to take over as the leader of Kunlun? Could it be that... could it be said that... Taoist Ziyang's time is running out? He couldn't help but ask: "Is everything okay, Master?"
Qingming was stunned for a moment, then laughed louder and louder, holding his stomach and unable to straighten his waist, he stretched out his The little finger pointed at Wei Shiqi, "You... where have you been thinking of!"
Wei Shiqi realized that he had gone astray, but new doubts followed, and the leader was anxious to convey There must be a reason for being in the Pu Sect Master. Is it because he is ill? Could it be that he is about to ascend? But it was inconvenient for him to ask more questions.
"It's okay, don't worry, long live the leader, everything is fine." Qingming's expression was a bit strange, he hesitated for a moment, and revealed a little bit of the inside story to Wei Shiqi, "The leader will be next. This is a very big chess game, and you are a very important piece, so don’t worry, just go ahead and do it.”
Wei Shiqi felt relieved and said with a smile, “Thank you, Sect Leader Pu, I’ll do it. I'll tell you later."
Qingming patted her chest loudly and agreed: "Put it on me!"
At dusk that day, Elder Xing Yue Xing rang the cloud plate, and all the elders and sect leaders gathered in the Erxiang Hall to discuss the turmoil on Xianyun Peak.
Taoist Ziyang made a quick appearance at the year-end gambling game, but the dragon disappeared without a trace. Liushi Peak is still controlled by the Elder Council, among which the one with the most say is undoubtedly Xing of the Sword Control Sect. Elder Yue Xing and Pu Tianwei, the leader of the Five Elements Sect, are roughly divided into three factions. One faction supports Xing Yue, one supports Pu Tianwei, and the other is neutral.
The Xing Yue side is the most powerful. The four senior elders of Yujian Sect are Mo Anchuan, Ding Yuan, Xu Yong, and Situ Kong, plus Shi Tiezhong, Qu Hong, and Ximending of Poison Sword Sect. , Shao Kangzi, occupied half of the country.
The power of Pu Tianwei's side is slightly inferior. Apart from Tong Lu, Shi Pingfu, Qin Zijie, and Pu Weisheng of the Five Elements Sect, only Zhang Chongyang and Yun Ji of the Feiyu Sect are on his side.
The deacons of Qingming and Wuyaguan, Sun Ting and Sun, who were present in the Sword Controlling Sect’s place on behalf of the leader, Ruan Jing who was in seclusion in the Demon Suppressing Tower for healing, and the two elders Lu and Lu of the Goujian Sect who had lost power. , Feiyu Zongzong advocates emphasizing China, these six people have always remained neutral, and rarely support a certain party clearly.
But this time at the Presbytery meeting, Park Tianwei acted quite forcefully. At first, Xing Yue planned to compete with him, but Qingming intervened half-jokingly and half-seriously, and the situation took a turn for the worse. Even the four elders Mo, Ding, Xu and Situ started fighting.
Please make it clear that the position of the leader of Kunlun belongs to the Sword Control Sect. The disciples of the Sword Control Sect are no longer allowed to take charge of the side branches. The affairs of the side branches should be left to other sects.
Others may not understand, but Xing Yue knows clearly that the meaning of Qingming is the meaning of the leader.
