Chapter 337: Self-Directed and Self-Acted

Zhongzhou, Donghaimen.

Due to the recent incident of ‘Ao Lie’, Donghaimen has been very uneasy recently.

From the sect leader to the ordinary disciples.

Almost all of them have taken action.

And what they do is to investigate all people or things related to Ao Lie.

As for whether there is injustice in this.

Donghaimen doesn’t care at all.

It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. This is the attitude of Donghaimen now.

In this situation, several small sects have been annexed by Donghaimen.

Although these small sects are willing to resist.

But in front of a behemoth like Donghaimen, they can’t cause any waves at all.

It’s just that since the return of Donghaimen’s leader Ao Yu not long ago.

The originally aggressive Donghaimen has rarely calmed down.

Many disciples scattered outside have been called back.

But most people think that this is just a temporary hibernation of Donghaimen.

It doesn’t mean that the storm is over.

Donghaimen, Undersea Dragon Palace.

Similar to other sects that built their sects in cave paradises, the Donghai Sect also chose to build its sect in a special cave paradise.

The only difference from ordinary cave paradises is that the place chosen by Donghai Sect is thousands of meters deep in the sea.

Such a place is naturally equivalent to a barrier.

It can well resist the invasion from foreign enemies.

However, even if you are from Donghai Sect, you can't enter the underwater dragon palace just because you want to.

Only those disciples of Donghai Sect who have successfully awakened the blood of the ancient dragon clan have such qualifications.

The rest of the people can only temporarily live on the island above the underwater dragon palace.

And this island is the outer gate of Donghai Sect, which is the channel for Donghai Sect to communicate with the outside world, named "Dongyou Island".

Dongdongdong...

As three loud bells rang, the originally quiet Dongyou Island immediately became noisy.

Not long after, several monks wearing the clothes of Donghai Sect elders came to the edge of the island.

I saw that Sikong Ming and his party had already arrived here.

"Fellow Daoists, our Donghaimen has closed the island now. Please go back first."

Although he had recognized the origins of Sikong Ming and his party.

But for some unknown reason, the Donghaimen monk who greeted them expressed his disrespect very coldly.

Sikong Ming did not seem surprised by this.

He looked at his palm and saw a golden talisman bird hovering in his palm.

And the flapping wings, if it had not been restricted by Sikong Ming's magic, it might have flown away immediately.

It was obviously attracted by something.

After confirming that the 'Soul Chaser Bird' had sensed the target.

Sikong Ming immediately raised his head and looked at the Donghaimen monk in front of him.

"Tell your sect master that Qingyun Sect came to visit Donghaimen."

Several Donghaimen monks looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

Because not long ago, the sect master Ao Yu had just said.

During this period, no matter who came to Donghaimen, they were not allowed to come in.

Even the Qingyun Sect is no exception.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow.

If someone from the Qingyun Sect really came, they didn't know what to do.

So after thinking for a while, they finally replied: "Then please wait for a moment, fellow Taoists, we will go to ask the sect master something."

Sikong Ming nodded and didn't make things difficult for them.

Soon, these Donghaimen monks disappeared in front of Sikong Ming and others.

During this process, everyone began to look at the Dongyou Island in front of them.

Unlike most sects, because of the practice of Donghaimen, many of them will become half-human and half-dragon after failing in practice.

Although these people have no possibility of further progress, the dragon blood in their bodies is what Donghaimen needs.

Therefore, in order to let these dragon bloods continue.

Donghaimen specially opened up this Dongyou Island for them to live here.

And this also gave birth to a special race, the Jiao clan.

At present, most of the people living on Dongyou Island are from the Jiao Clan.

This also makes Dongyou Island look like a sect station at all.

It is more like a paradise far away from the mainland.

Sikong Ming and others did not have to wait too long.

The Donghaimen monks who left came back soon.

"Everyone, the sect master said that the Dragon Palace needs to be closed for a period of time and cannot receive you for the time being."

"But if you are willing, this Dongyou Island can let you visit at will, please forgive me."

Hearing this answer, Sikong Ming did not react.

But the masters of other sects behind him frowned.

To this day, they have increasingly felt that something is wrong with Donghaimen.

In theory, the purpose of their trip is to help Donghaimen investigate Ao Lie's death.

This is absolutely beneficial to Donghaimen.

But Donghaimen not only showed resistance to this, but also obstructed it in every possible way.

It also revealed that they did not seem to want Sikongming and others to intervene in this matter.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like something a normal Donghai Sect would do.

It only means that the water behind Ao Lie's death is much deeper than they thought.

But considering the size of Donghai Sect, it's really hard for other sects to do much.

After all, if it is not handled well, most of the sects in Zhongzhou may be involved.

That is to say, the Qingyun Sect has the ability to suppress the Donghaimen who are suspected of having ulterior motives.

As for why Qingyun Sect called them instead of handling the matter alone.

Perhaps it was because Qingyun Sect wanted to use this incident to send a message to other sects in Zhongzhou.

Although he could not directly enter the Undersea Dragon Palace, Sikong Ming finally agreed to the answer given by Donghaimen for unknown reasons.

"OK."

Hearing Sikong Ming's answer, several Donghaimen monks breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the current formation of Sikong Ming and others is not something that just a few of their foundation-building monks can handle.

It is obviously the best to live in peace and harmony.

Under the leadership of these Donghaimen monks, everyone quickly arrived at the interior of Dongyou Island.

After arriving on the island, everyone immediately attracted the attention of many Jiao people around them.

After all, there are very few outsiders on Dongyou Island.

Let alone so many at once.

"Elder Huo, look, those people look so strange."

Shangguan Yunmeng looked at the dragon man not far away with the head and skin of a dragon, full of curiosity.

Huo Yunzi immediately hit her on the back of the head with the whisk in his hand and said, "Be calm, this is a bit weird right now, don't act rashly."

After hearing Huo Yunzi's words, Shangguan Yunmeng didn't know what was so strange about Dongyou Island.

But he still closed his mouth obediently, very well-behaved.

Similar situations have also appeared in other sects.

These people are all fine people, and now they all understand that what the Donghai Sect does is definitely not as simple as avenging the sect members.

Moreover, Qingyun Sect is willing to investigate this matter, perhaps with other purposes as well.

Since these people have been invited to act as judges, they had better play their role as judges and not act rashly.

Therefore, except for Shangguan Yunmeng who exclaimed in surprise at first.

No one spoke again for the rest of the journey.

Not long after, the three Donghai Sect monks took Sikong Ming and others to a wing on Dongyou Island.

Not only is this the highest mountain on Dongyou Island, but you can directly overlook the entire Dongyou Island from this location.

And it is not far from the overhaul on Dongyou Island, so it is easy to meet each other.

There is no doubt that this is a way for Donghaimen to 'monitor' them.

However, neither Sikong Ming nor anyone else pretended not to notice this.

There was a tacit understanding and they kept silent.

Just kidding, in this situation, only a fool would get himself involved.

"Fellow Taoists, you can rest here for a few days. If there is news from the sect master, we will notify these fellow Taoists immediately."

"Um."

Sikong Ming nodded calmly, showing no emotion.

But the more he behaved like this, the heavier the hearts of the Donghaimen monks became.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Everyone in the world says that their Donghaimen are domineering.

But only they know it.

Compared to Qingyun Sect, their Donghai Sect's domineering power is only superficial in many cases.

If you really want to be overbearing, you still have to look at the Qingyun Sect.

But this Qingyun Sect is showing great restraint at the moment.

No matter how you look at it, this is not normal.

Therefore, whether it is for the sake of protecting oneself wisely, or for the sake of waiting and watching for changes.

People from several other sects are now showing an attitude that it has nothing to do with them and they are just hanging on.

As several Donghaimen monks left.

Huo Yunzi from Yuxu Mountain spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist Sikong, it's been a tiring journey, so I'll take our saint to rest first."

Sikong Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Huo Yun, walk slowly."

Shangguan Yunmeng was a little unhappy when he heard that Huo Yunzi wanted to take him away immediately.

Because she still wanted to catch up with Lu Chen and King Meow Meow.

But she didn't know what Huo Yunzi said, and she was eventually dragged away by Huo Yunzi.

Similar situations also occurred in other sects.

Not long after, only Sikong Ming, Lu Chen, Miao Miao King, and Di Ting were left in the wing.

Without other irrelevant people, a golden talisman immediately appeared in Si Kongming's hand.

The talisman flew out and turned into a soft golden gauze, covering the surroundings of the wing, cutting off the outside world's perception of this place.

Make sure that no one else can hear their next conversation.

After seeing Si Kong Ming's arrangement, King Meow Meow finally couldn't restrain his long-suppressed curiosity.

"Master Sikong, Donghaimen's recent actions are not right no matter how you look at them, right?"

"We're just going to stay here like this, are we really okay?"

Sikong Ming came to a chair in the side room and sat down, took out a tea set out of thin air, and brewed tea leisurely.

Looking at Si Kongming, the old god, King Meow Meow's face was filled with question marks.

Because it didn't understand why Sikong Ming was so calm.

If it is based on its character, after discovering the strangeness of Donghaimen, it should immediately find a way to investigate the ins and outs.

Instead of wasting time like now.

Perhaps he sensed King Meow Meow’s doubts.

While making tea, Sikong Ming said slowly: "Xiao Lu, come and tell King Meow Meow why we did this."

Lu Chen nodded, and then said calmly: "Brother Wumiao, we don't have to find some answers ourselves, someone will bring them to us."

"We don't need to do anything right now, things will have a result on their own."

"Ah?"

King Wumiao was stunned, and didn't understand what Lu Chen meant by this.

What do you mean the answers will come to them on their own.

You mean Donghaimen will tell them the truth of the matter on their own?

This is a joke!

Looking at the suspicious King Wumiao, Lu Chen said firmly: "Brother Wumiao, don't worry, Donghaimen will find us within three days."

"..."

Damn, my head is so itchy, I feel like I need to grow a brain.

King Wumiao looked at Sikong Ming who was leisurely, and Lu Chen who looked calm.

I always feel that my brain is not enough.

On the other hand, Di Ting on the side was very calm at this time.

After all, once you admit that you are a waste, you will naturally not worry about your IQ.

Anyway, it's the bottom of the valley, no matter how you go, it's upward!

As far as Di Ting is concerned, it just needs to be a good follower.

It does whatever Lu Chen says.

It focuses on not using its brain.

Although it is not clear why Lu Chen and Si Kongming are so sure that Donghaimen will take the initiative to come to them.

But based on his understanding of the two.

King Wu Miao thinks that the final development of the matter should still be the same as Lu Chen and Si Kongming.

So after scratching his itchy scalp.

King Wu Miao finally chose to give up and ran to a nearby place with Di Ting to rest.

At the same time, the Dragon Palace under the sea.

"So, Si Kongming really stayed on the island like this without any action?"

"Reply to the Sect Master, it's like this."

"..."

Ao Yu pinched his chin and immediately fell into deep thought.

Not far away from him were the three Donghaimen monks who received Si Kongming and others.

After an unknown amount of time, Ao Yu finally spoke.

"Okay, you guys go back first."

"Remember to treat them well, don't be slow in etiquette."

"Yes."

After the three disciples left, Ao Yu turned his head and looked at a pillar next to him.

And suddenly said: "Do you think the people from Qingyun Sect will affect our plan?"

As Ao Yu's voice fell, a dark shadow slowly walked out from behind the pillar.

When the man walked into the light, his dress was exactly the same as the few people who surrounded and killed Ao Lie that day.

The same black robe, the same special mask.

In response to Ao Yu's inquiry, the black-robed monk said calmly: "Now everything that should be prepared is almost ready."

"Even if they want to stop it, it's too late."

"It's just that Qingyun Sect's actions are much faster than I thought."

"Although stopping here will affect subsequent plans, it's better to send them away early than to attract the attention of Qingyun Sect in advance."

Hearing this, Ao Yu made a decision after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, then we will stop the expansion for now. I will catch the 'murderer' soon."

"In this way, even if Qingyun Sect wants to intervene, it will have no reason."

The black-robed monk nodded and said, "That's good."
