Chapter 1237 Reasonable

On the cloud viewing platform at the back of Wanjuanshu Mountain, Zhou Yankong leaned on the railing of the gazebo and looked into the distance. He could see the vast sea of ​​clouds, and in the gap, he could see a drop of two or three hundred feet below.

Although this is not the highest location of Wanjuanshu Mountain, it is one of the locations with the best views. It is also the favorite place of suzerain Zhou Yankong. He said that he can feel the vastness of the world here, and cultivate his mind with empathy. Therefore, except for him, no one else would dare to come here to disturb him.

"Is the news reliable?"

Zhou Yankong didn't look back, and continued to look at the end of his field of vision, where wisps of golden light could already be seen, and the sun should not take long to emerge from the sea of ​​clouds.

There is not only Zhou Yankong in the pavilion today, but there is another person standing behind him, Zhong Hongye, the ninth elder of Wanjuan Shushan, who is also the main person in charge of external travel and communication.

Zhong Hongye stood at a distance of ten feet behind Zhou Yankong with his hands tied, and immediately replied when he heard the question: "The news is reliable. At present, the seventeen corpses were tied by the necks of the people from the Golden Sword Camp and hung in the Sanyuanzong. At the gate of the mountain, each of them wore bright robes, and they were all sects in the Jingxi area, mostly second- and third-rate.

Two of them were indeed disciples of the Tian Chan Sect, they were at the beginning of the Yuandan Realm, they were good at sneaking and hiding, and they had some reputation in Jingxi, but this time they lost their lives at the hands of the Golden Sword Camp.

However, the Golden Sword Battalion's rhetoric is not credible. Even if Tian Chanzong secretly stirs up wind and rain, it is impossible for them to dare to attack the Golden Sword Battalion array of more than a thousand people with just a dozen people. This is no different from courting death.

There must be something strange in it. "

Zhong Hongye ranks nine among the elders of Wanjuan Shushan, the younger ones are age, cultivation base and talent. She is currently at the fourth level of the Xuanhai Realm, and she has basically reached the top, at most she will rush to step into the fifth level at the end. So many external affairs are handled and contacted by her.

Over the past year or so, Zhong Hongye suddenly felt much busier than before.

Although Zhong Hongye was busy in the past, she knew things well, and she didn't need to worry about trivial matters. There were still many disciples in charge of foreign affairs under her sect. After finishing the few major tasks, Zhong Hongye can be free to focus on practicing or stabilizing her mind. Generally speaking, we are busy for half a year and rest for half a year throughout the year.

But in the past year or so, something that was not in the plan popped up all of a sudden, and it was still a major event, so busy that Zhong Hongye lost most of his free time.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that all the things that popped up are inseparable from that Shen Hao who made troubles as soon as he emerged. It's so good at making things happen! Not long ago, a separation of "investigation and punishment" was created, so that Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshanzong had no choice but to accept the call even though they knew there might be fraud. Because of this matter, Zhong Hongye has not smoothed it out until now, and even walked around the various sects to appease their emotions.

But it didn't take long to stop, and it happened again.

First, a new Lingshi vein burst out from an unpopular sect called Sanyuanzong in the Jingxi area. It attracted many second- and third-rate sects around, trying to coerce the Sanyuan sect to compromise according to the size of their fists.

Although cruel, this has always been the practice in the Zongmen circle. How can a mere sect that is not in the mainstream hold top-level resources such as Lingshi veins? If you want to survive, then disband the sect and be annexed by others. It's that unfair.

But this time, things were beyond everyone's expectations.

The Sanyuanzong actually pulled Fenghong Villa as a backer, saying that it would hand over the mine veins to the public, and Fenghong Villa also sent more than a thousand people from the Golden Sword Battalion to garrison. mean.

When Zhong Hongye heard the news, she stood up from her chair angrily. How dare a lowly sect have the guts to ignore the sect's rules? ! How dare Fenghong Villa stand up and challenge the sect's rules? !

At the first moment, Zhong Hongye could think that once this opening was opened, would it be possible for the bottom-level sects to choose sides not only based on the forces in the sect circle, but also to take Fenghong Villa into consideration? How much impact will this have on Zongmen? I am afraid that Wanjuanshushan and Mingshanzong, who are at the top of the sect, can feel it the most.

But after being angry, Zhong Hongye quickly forced herself to calm down.

After all, I have dealt so many times with Fenghong Villa, which is now in charge of foreign affairs, and I have some understanding of the nature of the foreign affairs chief deacon. He is a sinister and difficult poisonous snake, and he will never expose himself Everywhere, one can always find reasons and methods to subvert the routine, the routine in the Zongmen circle.

So Zhong Hongye took this news to the Zongmen Elders' Meeting to study it, and several elders who had not retreated together pondered for a long time before they came to a conclusion: it was not in compliance with the rules, but it was barely reasonable.

Although it is difficult to accept, Zhong Hongye has to admit that the rules in the Zongmen circle are too broad, and they are all "tacted", there has never been a written memo, and the details are completely full of loopholes. Unsurprisingly, the guy surnamed Shen found a loophole to exploit again.

The main reason is that it was not Fenghong Villa who took the initiative to take the Lingshi vein, but Sanyuanzong, who first discovered the vein, took the initiative to find Fenghong Villa to hand it over. According to the rules in the Zongmen circle, if a Zongmen finds any cultivation resources in its own mountain gate, it belongs to the Zongmen, and the special category needs to share the output with Jing Jiuchao.

The Lingshi vein is in the mountain gate of Ren Sanyuanzong, and it is supposed to belong to Sanyuanzong. It is their own business if they are willing to ask Fenghong Villa for help in mining. There is no rule that they cannot ask Fenghong Villa to share the mining pressure.

What's more, the Lingshi veins belong to the "special category" of resources, and they need to be given to the Jingjiu court, usually 50% or 60%. It was reasonable for Fenghong Villa to send people to garrison the mines of Sanyuanzong when it was actively invited, and it was suspected of meddling in the sect's internal affairs.

It is not so easy to handle if it is not in compliance with the rules but reasonable, and it is even more difficult to handle the fact that the target is Fenghong Villa, a force that cannot be oppressed by ordinary pressure.

It was also because of figuring out the constraints, Wanjuan Shushan decided not to act rashly for the time being after contacting the Mingshan Sect, and let the Jingxi sect make trouble for a while before talking.

Coincidentally, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshanzong can also use this matter to see how much trouble the Tianchanzong in Jingxi, which has been making a lot of noise recently, can cause Fenghong Villa.

As a result, the Tianchan Sect hadn't had a brilliant performance yet, and Fenghong Villa took the first action. Seventeen people were killed in one shot, and their corpses were killed after the killing. This is to put the face of the sect behind those seventeen lives on the ground. Step on it.

"It doesn't matter if it's strange or not. If Tian Chanzong wants to stand out, he has to bear the pressure from Fenghong Villa. Hmph, I remember that Shen Hao is still a registered disciple of Guishan Seminary, right?" Zhou Yankong's mouth turned up, as if He was very dismissive of the disturbance of the Tian Chan Sect.
