Chapter 461 Glory
"Brother! Thank you for your jade token. I'm fine now." Feng Xu hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
"Junior sister, you are too polite. You have been recuperating in the mountains these days. I dare not disturb you rashly. I heard that the people of Xingyue Sect are arresting the murderer, so I came here this time to follow the order of the sect master and ask you to help us search for these people."
Zhang Tao hurriedly said.
"Ah?" Feng Xu was stunned when he heard Zhang Tao's words. Although he didn't understand why the senior brother suddenly wanted to search for people from Xingyue Sect, since it was a task issued by the sect master, there must be a reason.
"Thank you, senior brother! I will definitely assist you." Feng Xu hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Junior sister! Come with me to the sect first. As for the matter of Xingyue Sect, we will talk about it later." Zhang Tao stretched out his hand to support Feng Xu.
"Brother! Let's go to search for the murderer first. It's not too late to talk about the matter of Xingyue Sect after the matter is done. I don't want to waste your time."
Feng Xu hurriedly explained.
Zhang Tao felt disappointed when he heard Feng Xu's words, but he couldn't refute it.
"Okay! In that case, I'll accompany you." Zhang Tao sighed helplessly.
As Zhang Tao and the others entered Xingyue Sect, the Xingyue Sect was bustling at the moment. Many sect monks were discussing in the square.
"Have you heard? The shopkeeper of Xingyue Sect, Ye Qingyun, died. It is said that he was arrested by the sect master himself because of his affair with a demon cultivator. Now the Ye family is kneeling down to repent?"
"Is this true? I heard that this person is also a Jindan cultivator. The helmsman of Xingyue Sect is really vicious enough."
"That's natural, otherwise the Ye family would have destroyed the entire Xingyue Sect long ago. How could there be such a prosperous scene now?"
"Alas! Xingyue Sect has become more and more arrogant in recent years. These people really deserve to die."
"Senior sister! Come and see, it's Junior Sister Fengxu who is back. The man next to her is so handsome! He is simply charming thousands of women."
At this moment, there are hundreds of female disciples standing on the square. These people are basically female cultivators, but they are dressed differently.
When they saw Zhang Tao, many female disciples screamed, especially the handsome man next to Fengxu, which made these women scream again and again.
At this moment, an emergency meeting is being held in the hall. There are more than 30 senior executives present here. These are all elders of the sect.
The leader was Ye Qingfeng, who was also the deacon elder of Xingyue Sect.
"I can't control the life and death of Ye Qingyun, a scum, and it's not our turn to intervene in what he did. We just need to follow the rules.
In addition, I feel that the sect master seems to have changed recently, and there seems to be some conspiracy."
Ye Qingfeng said lightly.
"Master! Is what you said true? Are you wrong?" A Jindan cultivator beside Ye Qingfeng hurriedly asked.
"Master! Are you too suspicious?" The other two Yuanying cultivators also hurriedly comforted him.
"I already suspect that someone is behind this matter. You should have heard of the 'Phantom Demon King'?" Ye Qingfeng asked lightly.
"Illusion Demon King? I've heard of him. He is an extremely bloodthirsty demon king who has killed countless cultivators from various sects. I heard that he has reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul and is an out-and-out demon cultivator. Master, you don't suspect that a demon cultivator is dealing with us, do you?"
When Ye Qingfeng mentioned the 'Illusion Demon King', the cultivators around him trembled instantly. This person was famous in the demon world and no one dared to provoke him.
"Yes, I am also guessing. I don't know if it is true or not. After all, the Phantom Demon King has disappeared for decades and no one knows where he is hiding."
Ye Qingfeng shook his head slightly.
"Master! Who do you think will deal with us? Our Xingyue Sect seems to have no grudges with the demons!"
Everyone said carefully.
"Not sure! But I always feel that Xingyue Sect is not as simple as it seems. This time I will send people to strengthen the guards and try to ensure the safety of the sect. If someone is really targeting us, don't blame me for being ruthless." Ye Qingfeng said lightly.
At this moment, in the woods ten kilometers away from Xingyue Sect, two foundation-building monks were running all the way. Behind them, there were more than a dozen peak Qi-refining monks chasing them. If they encountered danger, they would surely die.
Fengxu followed Zhang Tao and flew all the way. It took half an incense stick to reach the sect's territory.
There is a huge mountain on the north side of Xingyue City. The buildings on the top of the mountain are lined up. At this moment, four foundation-building monks gathered in the palace on the top of the mountain. These people were discussing Ye Qingyun. This person had been sealed and sent to the Punishment Hall.
The purpose of coming to Xingyue Sect this time is to capture the Phantom Demon King.
"Sect Master! The Ye family has given up the search, which means that Ye Qingyun has really hooked up with the people of the Demonic Path. Should we take action?"
An elder asked worriedly.
"No need, someone has taken over this matter. I think it should not be the Demonic Path. Maybe Ye Qingyun has offended a powerful person." Ye Qingfeng said lightly.
"Hmm? Is that really the case?"
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look at the sect master in surprise.
"Whether it is true or not, it has nothing to do with us. This Ye Qingfeng not only colluded with the demon cultivators, but also oppressed the good. Now his cultivation has been abolished and he has been thrown into the Criminal Law Hall for trial, which is considered to be a cleansing of the sect."
Ye Qingfeng said lightly, without any regret.
"Master is wise!"
"Master is wise!" These elders admired the master's foresight and decisiveness.
Just as Ye Qingfeng finished speaking, a spaceship slowly landed on the square.
When the spaceship docked, the monks below made way for a passage. This was the Great Vehicle of the Xingyue Sect.
Fengxu and Zhang Tao subconsciously stopped and watched the spaceship landing quietly.
Buzz! After the spaceship stopped, a sense of majesty emanated from it. Immediately afterwards, two large black flags with eight stars embroidered on them floated on the deck of the spaceship. This was the symbol of the Xingyue Sect.
"Welcome the distinguished guests of the Xingyue Sect." Seeing the spaceship landing, Ye Qingfeng hurriedly led people to bow and kowtow.
"Greetings to the elders, and to all the seniors." Fengxu and Zhang Tao bowed their hands at the same time.
At this moment, six monks quickly jumped down from the spaceship, including four men and two women.
The leader was Ye Wenhai, the head of the Ye family. The three men and two women next to him were the third master and third wife of the Ye family and two concubines.
"No need to be polite, stand up!" Ye Wenhai waved his hand lightly, and then walked out first.
"Thank you, elder!" These people bowed and saluted, and then retreated to the sides.
Although Ye Qingfeng's cultivation level was similar to Ye Wenhai's, he still lowered his head and looked pleasing at this moment. After all, there were not only Jindan cultivators here, but also other Yuanying cultivators.
"Fengxu, nephew! Where have you been all these years? Why didn't the sect receive any news? Did you really betray Xingyue Sect?" Ye Wenhai asked coldly.
"Report to the third uncle, we did make a mistake at the beginning, but when we woke up, it was too late. Now I am an elder of the sect."
After Ye Qingfeng finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Tao beside him.
At this moment, Zhang Tao knelt down hurriedly: "Disciple Zhang Tao greets the elder."
"Hahaha! Very good, since you have become an elder of the sect, you must abide by the rules of our Xingyue Sect. I hope you remember this. We still count on you to help Xingyue Sect overcome difficulties in the future.
Let me introduce you. This is my son Ye Tianyu, this is my wife Liu Xinyue, this is my daughter Ye Shiyi, and the other two are my two guardians.
The sect master specifically asked me to come to greet you this time. You should go to the main hall and sit down to rest first! We will discuss other matters later."
Ye Wenhai smiled and invited several people into the palace.
At this moment, Fengxu sighed secretly. Originally, after Ye Qingyun was abolished, he still held a glimmer of hope, but now it is completely shattered.
But he had no way to deal with this matter. Now he can only break through as soon as possible, and then find a way to rescue the master after breaking through the golden elixir.
Soon these people walked out, leaving only the Ye family.
"Father, why did you agree to promote Zhang Tao to the position of elder this time, and let him be the sect patrol envoy? This is not in line with the sect's rules!" At this time, Ye Qingyu stood up.
"Humph! I have my own plans for what to do, but you must act cautiously and never provoke people you shouldn't provoke, otherwise the entire Ye family will be implicated." Ye Wenhai glared at Ye Qingyu and turned to walk out.
"Yes!" Ye Tianyu also knew the interests here. Although he was unwilling, he could only act according to the order.
At this moment, in the palace, all the elders of the Ye family gathered together, a total of seven people.
The happiest person at this moment is Ye Qingfeng, because these people are all his direct descendants.
"Everyone, today I called you here mainly to discuss the plan of hunting the demons this time. I heard that a group of new demon monks have entered our northern region. You all talk about it!"
Ye Wenhai said lightly.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, these people are just useless brats, not to be feared, only a few foundation-building cultivators are needed to kill them."
"Yes! It's not difficult at all."
"Just a few foundation-building cultivators dare to run wild here, it's better to send a law enforcement team to encircle and suppress them."
These elders are obviously used to this kind of thing. Every five years, Xingyue Sect will send people to hunt down a group of demon cultivators.
"Nonsense! How can these people be killed easily? These people are first-class demon killers. They are hiding in our northern region and are well prepared.
At this moment, they should have already figured out the power of the sect, so you must be more careful.
It is said that there is also a foundation-building cultivator here this time, you must be extra careful."
Ye Wenhai frowned slightly. He couldn't be careless about this matter. Once he failed, it was estimated that the face of the entire Ye family would be lost. More importantly, if the information of these demon cultivators was lost, Xingyue Sect would be in a desperate situation.
"Yes!" These elders were stunned for a moment, and no one doubted this matter.
"This expedition will be led by Elder Qingfeng, and Tianyu will accompany you. As for Zhang Tao, you lead the other elders and disciples to assist Elder Qingfeng. Remember, we must act in secret, and no information is allowed to be exposed. There must not be any mistakes."
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then arranged the personnel.
At this time, Fengxu supported Ye Qingfeng and walked into the hall.
"Hello, elders!" Fengxu hurriedly saluted.
When these people saw Ye Qingfeng, they all smiled.
"Elder Qingfeng! We welcome you back to Xingyue Sect, congratulations."
"Thank you all!" Ye Qingfeng clasped his fists lightly, without any gratitude.
"Elder, you have worked hard over the years, please take a seat!" Ye Wenhai was polite.
"You are too polite, Sect Master. I am just a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage. I am not worthy of the word elder. I hope you will not embarrass Qingfeng."
Ye Qingfeng waved his hand quickly, indicating that it was not necessary.
"Since Elder Qingfeng insists, then sit on the right!" Ye Wenhai said with a smile.
"Thank you!" Ye Qingfeng nodded lightly, and then pulled Fengxu to sit on the chair on the left.
Zhang Tao also sat down.
"Elders! The sect master asked us to come here this time because there is something that needs our cooperation. I hope that the elders can help."
Ye Qingfeng said loudly.
"Elder Ye, don't worry. If you need us to help, just ask."
At this time, Ye Qingyu hurriedly came up.
"Well! This time I'm going to sneak attack the station of the demon cultivators. I don't know where I need to set up the formation. Please help me, elders." Ye Qingfeng said.
"Sneak attack, aren't we here to capture these demon cultivators? Isn't this a violation of the sect rules?" Hearing Ye Qingfeng's words, the elders were immediately frightened and thought, is this crazy? Sneak attack? Who gave you the courage?
"Elder Qingfeng! Isn't this courting death? This is the heartland of the sect. If the sect knows about this, you will be chopped alive." These people hurriedly tried to dissuade him. "You don't understand! These demon cultivators are not only cruel and cunning, but also powerful. If we fight them head-on, we will definitely suffer. I want to use this opportunity to test them, and I also want to see how powerful these demon cultivators are." Ye Qingfeng said lightly. "This?" These people hesitated immediately. This matter was too dangerous. "Everyone, don't hesitate any more. I have reported this matter to the sect master, and the sect master has promised me. You can rest assured!" "The sect master actually promised you?" These people were a little surprised. "Yes! I have discussed it with the sect master, and I plan to take Fairy Qingyun with me, so that she can play her role. After all, she is a Jindan cultivator, and there is more or less some guarantee." Ye Qingfeng said lightly. Hearing Ye Qingfeng's words, these people understood Ye Qingfeng's intention. Ye Wenhai did want Ye Qingyun to join the battle. After all, these demon cultivators were extraordinary. If they could be killed, the sect would reward them generously and they would become famous. The Ye family would be more prosperous.
"Elder Qingfeng! I agree to this, but I have two conditions. First, you must hand Qingyun over to me after completing this mission. Second, you must lead three Nascent Soul cultivators and fifteen late-stage Qi Refining disciples on this expedition."
At this time, Ye Wenhai put forward his own request.
"Does the sect master want me to go into the wolf's den alone? I'm sorry I can't agree to this.
First, if you want to threaten me with my daughter, then please ask the sect master to do it yourself."
Ye Qingfeng said coldly, not giving this guy any face at all. At this moment, they had already torn their faces.
"Elder Ye, don't forget that you are only at the sixth level of foundation building now, and you have just woken up from a coma. Do you think you have the qualifications to bargain with me?"
Ye Wenhai said coldly.
"Whether I am qualified or not is not up to you, and you are not qualified to decide whether others stay or go. My stay or departure is the will of the sect master, and you have no right to interfere.
If you insist on using my daughter to exchange for the glory of the sect.
