Chapter 98 Yaksha Cangyue

In a secret room in the main hall of the Tiangui Sect, three people sat around a square table made of Huanghuali wood. They were Yu Cheng, the leader of the Tiangui Sect, Ning Tianqi, the leader of the Fenggui Hall, and a white-haired old man wearing a gray robe, with a thin face and vigorous spirit.

"You two are the chief elders of the Elders Council of the Law Enforcement Institute and the head of the First Battle Hall. You are the pillars of our Tiangui Sect. This time I have an important matter to discuss with you." Yu Cheng said.

"Please speak, Master." The white-haired old man said.

"Tianqi is all ears." Ning Tianqi said.

"It's like this. Yesterday I received a secret letter from the "Shadow" organization. Please take a look first." As he said that, Yu Cheng took out a secret letter and handed it to the white-haired old man with both hands.

The white-haired old man took the secret letter handed over by Yu Cheng and read it carefully. After reading it, he handed the secret letter to Ning Tianqi again, frowned slightly, said nothing, and fell into deep thought.

Ning Tianqi looked at it carefully and couldn't help but look solemn.

"The Shadow Organization used the 15 captured Heavenly Ghost Sect disciples as bargaining chips to demand the release of the former Evil Ghost Hall Master "Yaksha Cangyue" who was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Moreover, the identities of these 15 disciples are very special. They are all direct disciples or blood descendants of elders serving in the Elder Council of major families. This matter is very serious, please speak frankly." Yu Cheng said.

After listening, the white-haired old man and Ning Tianqi looked at each other, and neither of them wanted to speak first.

Yu Cheng saw that the two were silent. With a smile on his face, he picked up a gilded teapot on the table, poured a cup of fragrant tea for the white-haired old man, and then gently pushed the teacup filled with tea in front of the white-haired old man.

He said, "Elder Dongfang, there is a disciple named "Dongfang Huang" on this list. He should be your grandson. You are the chief elder of the Tiangui Sect's Law Enforcement Court. Please express your opinion first, both publicly and privately, and for emotional and rational reasons."

The old man, who was called Elder Dongfang by Yu Cheng, took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then gently put the teacup down.

He laughed dryly, and then said, "I, "Dongfang Qianting", was chosen as the chief elder of the Tiangui Sect's Law Enforcement Court by the Sect Master and all the colleagues in the sect. I am willing to sacrifice everything for the great cause of the Tiangui Sect, including my own life. As one of the founding families of the Tiangui Sect, the "Dongfang Family" has today's scale and glory thanks to the kindness of the founder of the sect. It is the responsibility and pride of every member of the family to sacrifice their lives for the Tiangui Sect."

Speaking of this, "Dongfang Qianting"'s old eyes actually flashed with moisture.

After a pause, he continued, "Who is the "Yaksha Cangyue" in the prison? You should know it best. All the previous leaders of our Tiangui Sect, before me, were concurrently served by the head of the Evil Ghost Hall. The head of the Evil Ghost Hall was elected from the disciples of the three major families of the Tiangui Sect. The founders of the three major families of the Tiangui Sect, the "Yaksha Family", the "Wuchang Family", and the "Guigu Family", were originally the three disciples of the founder of the Tiangui Sect, the immortal master "Zang Wuya". The three major families are the Tiangui Sect. It is understandable that the direct descendant of the Ghost Sect has one of his children take the position of the leader of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. The three major families take turns to be the boss, selecting people by martial arts and governing the sect by virtue. Only then can our Heavenly Ghost Sect stand tall in the Zhongyuan Continent and prosper for thousands of years. Although there have been fights between the three major families for the power of the Heavenly Ghost Sect over the long days, they were all settled with the intervention of the Council of Elders.

Since "Yaksha Cangyue" of the Yaksha Family became the leader of the Evil Ghost Hall and the leader of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, he has been arrogant and arbitrary. . The "Wuchang Family" and the "Guigu Family" were excluded by him, and dozens of members of the two families were severely injured by him because of a small dispute. The elders of the Law Enforcement Institute came forward to stop the conflict and mediate the matter. Yaksha Cangyue did not take the Elder Council seriously at all, and actually beat the law enforcement elders to death and seven injuries.

For the foundation of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, the Elder Council of the Law Enforcement Institute and many family leaders from other sects knelt down and begged in the underground palace of the Ghost Howl Land, and asked for the "Yaksha Dragon Snake" who was in seclusion in it to capture him and put him in the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Then they forcibly disbanded the Evil Ghost Hall, causing many members of the Evil Ghost Hall to defect and leave, bringing immeasurable losses to the Heavenly Ghost Sect. After that, the Heavenly Ghost Sect Elders Council and other families negotiated and weighed the pros and cons and elected you, Sect Master Yu, to lead the Heavenly Ghost Sect. The Heavenly Ghost Sect returned to its previous stable development state. Now, this "Shadow" organization demands the release of "Yaksha Cangyue". Once this person is released, there will be endless troubles. Please think carefully, Sect Master. "

"Dongfang Qianting" spoke slowly, as if the past situation was vivid in his mind.

"Well, what Elder Dongfang said makes sense, Tianqi, what do you think. "

Ning Tianqi listened to the impassioned speech of "Dongfang Qianting", but he was secretly suspicious in his heart.

"Although I am Yu Cheng's disciple, as the current head of Fenggui Hall, I should also be objective in my evaluation of the previous head, Yaksha Cangyue. Yaksha Cangyue has a high level of cultivation and a strong fighting ability. Except for the old monster in seclusion, no one in the entire Tiangui Sect can match him. He is also a well-known existence in the entire Zhongyuan Realm. Although he has a ruthless and decisive personality, he has also made an indelible contribution to the stability of the Tiangui Sect during his tenure. The last war between the South and North Regions of Zhongyuan Continent happened to take place during his tenure. It happened that the "Lord Dragon Snake" in the Ghost Howl Land was in seclusion and could not come out. It was Yaksha Cangyue who saved the Tiangui Sect from danger with his supreme skills and natural bravery.

As for the sudden dispute between "Yaksha Cangyue" and the other two families later. The elders blindly favored the other two families without solid evidence, and took the initiative to deal with "Yaksha Cangyue", overestimating their own strength and causing two deaths and seven injuries. The elder "Dongfang Qianting" in front of him was one of the masterminds of the elders who strongly advocated to pull "Yaksha Cangyue" down from the position of the leader and dissolve the evil ghost hall. He personally participated in the action against "Yaksha Cangyue" and was seriously injured by "Yaksha Cangyue". What is even more puzzling is that "Dongfang Qianting" and "Yaksha Cangyue" had a very close relationship, but they suddenly turned against each other for some reason before this happened.

Although this shocking change was forbidden to talk about in the sect, as the deputy leader of "Fenggui Hall" at that time, he was responsible for the intelligence collection and investigation of important cases in the sect. Originally, the investigation of this incident had found clues, but the elders intervened on the pretext that it involved too many interests from all sides and was not conducive to the stability of Tiangui Sect, so he was forced to give up halfway.

Moreover, the abducted disciple of the Dongfang family named "Dongfang Huang" was ostensibly the grandson of Dongfang Qianting, but in fact, he was the illegitimate son of Dongfang Qianting after he possessed his nephew's wife. Dongfang Qianting's love for women was well known to everyone in the Tiangui Sect. He had seven concubines, and his only hobby was to seek pleasure. Dongfang Qianting's two original sons died in the war between the North and South Regions. Dongfang Huang could be said to be Dongfang Qianting's only living son. Could he really bear to let his only son die?

Today, "Dongfang Qianting" suggested not to release "Yaksha Cangyue", which was probably not the truth. "

Ning Tianqi was thinking in his heart, and saw his teacher Yu Cheng asking him.

He replied respectfully: "Tianqi thought that since the Shadow Organization proposed a deal, they had a reason to be quite sure of making this deal. Otherwise, they would not have mobilized a large number of troops and risked a head-on confrontation with the Tiangui Sect to abduct the disciples of the Tiangui Sect. This matter is of great importance. According to the rules of the sect, it must be brought to the Elders' Council of the Law Enforcement Hall for discussion. The fifteen disciples who were abducted were all direct disciples or blood relatives of important members of the Elders' Council. Not every member of the Elders' Council is as righteous as Elder "Dongfang". If the agreement is not to release "Yaksha Cangyue" under the joint presidency and pressure of the Lord of the Sect and Elder Dongfang, it will leave a grudge in the hearts of many members of the Elders' Council, causing discord among the members of the Elders' Council. This is the first.

In the secret letter sent by "Shadow", it was mentioned that if the deal was reached, it would no longer attack the disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. The implication is that if we disagree, it will continue to attack our disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. The strength of the Shadow Organization was shown in this action. It has at least several Yuanhun Realm powerhouses, and the forces hidden behind it are still unknown. If we don't trade with them, it means continuing to fight with them. Although our Heavenly Ghost Sect is not afraid of the Shadow Organization. But the Shadow Organization is in the dark, and we are in the light. I am afraid that in the end, it is still the ordinary disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect who will be hurt. Over time, it is inevitable that the low-level disciples of the Heavenly Ghost Sect will be in danger and their hearts will be scattered. This is the second.

Since the Heavenly Ghost Sect imprisoned "Yaksha Cangyue" in the Heavenly Prison, it has always caused dissatisfaction among the Yaksha family. It can be said that the Yaksha family and the Heavenly Ghost Sect are now in a state of disharmony. After the disbanding of the Evil Ghost Hall, many direct descendants of the Yaksha family defected to the Heavenly Ghost Sect, causing great losses and hidden dangers to the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Why not take this opportunity to release "Yaksha Cangyue". At that time, we can ask the "Yaksha Dragon Snake" master from the Ghost Howl Land to preside over this matter, and we will surely win back the lost hearts of the Yaksha clan to the Heavenly Ghost Sect. This is the third.

Even if "Yaksha Cangyue" is released and it is not good for the Heavenly Ghost Sect again, we will ask the "Yaksha Dragon Snake" master to come forward and clean up the door in person, so that it will be over once and for all, and the Heavenly Ghost Sect will not have a beginning and an end in the matter of "Yaksha Cangyue". This is the fourth.

Therefore, Tianqi's suggestion is that it is more in the interests of the Heavenly Ghost Sect to release it than not to release it. "

Yu Cheng nodded repeatedly after hearing Ning Tianqi's words. His beloved disciple was really his right-hand man.

Dongfang Qianting, who was standing by, stroked his silver beard and said, "What the Tianqi Hall Master said makes sense. We should always put the interests of the Heavenly Ghost Sect first."

The three reached an agreement.

As the three had discussed, the resolution to release Yaksha Cangyue was easily passed at the meeting of the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall. Yu Cheng and Dongfang Qianting went to the Ghost Howl Land to ask the Lord "Yaksha Dragon Snake" in person, and finally Yaksha Dragon Snake nodded and agreed to preside over the matter.

Yaksha Dragon Snake was the skinny old man with a big snake beside him who appeared in the Ghost Howl Land after Xu Yang and his party were trapped in the Ghost Howl Land of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

In the Heavenly Prison of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

In the center of a dragon-binding formation used to bind mana, stood a bronze cross with a man tied to it with chains.

This man had a face like a silver moon, thick eyebrows like swords, eyes like stars, and a terrifying heroic spirit. From the corner of his eyes, he looked only about 40 years old. Although his clothes were torn in several places, they still could not conceal his inherent kingly dominance.

Thick chains made of thousand-year-old cold iron were locked on the ankles of his hands and feet. From time to time, golden runes like golden snakes crawled out from the golden dragon-binding formation under him and wandered on the surface of his body.

At this time, the iron door of the sky prison was opened with a rumble.

Five people came in one after another. Four of them were dressed as jailers, and the other one was obviously dressed as a member of the Heavenly Ghost Sect Law Enforcement Court.

When the five people entered the door, no one dared to step forward, but stayed close to the door, looking up and down at the person on the cross.

The man on the cross saw someone coming in, but he didn't say anything. He narrowed his eyes and showed a contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth. The five people were frightened and retreated one after another, and bumped into the iron door behind them, making a clanging sound.

Among them, the middle-aged man dressed in the Law Enforcement Court brushed the dust off his sleeves with his hands, and then said loudly with courage: "Yaksha Cangyue, you should have been sentenced to death for killing and injuring the elders of the Law Enforcement Court last time. But considering your contribution to the Heavenly Ghost Sect, you are imprisoned here. Today, after the current sect leader and the elders of the Law Enforcement Court discussed it, you were released. Come on, open his chains."

After hearing this, the four people behind him looked at each other and wanted to tiptoe forward to open the chains.

Only to hear Yasha Cangyue laugh loudly, shaking the iron wall of the entire prison.

"Can a mere prison cell really hold me, Yaksha Cangyue?"

With a wave of his arms, the thick iron chains on his body shattered like paper, and the steel ground rumbled.

Yaksha Cangyue didn't even look at the five people in front of him. He put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and strode straight towards the prison gate.

The five people were so scared that they held their breath and dared not say a word. They quickly stepped aside and made way.
