Everyone exclaimed, and the same questions as the white-faced swordsman emerged in their minds.
Where did Jin Dan Zhenren come from?
If there was a real Jin Dan in Yuanjue Temple, how could he have gotten such a bad reputation now.
I saw a sinister old man in black robes and silver hair, with a skinny build and shriveled cheeks descending from the sky. He seemed to be surrounded by a hazy black mist. From time to time, several faces could be seen emerging, distorted like the screams of wronged souls.
"Who dares to bully my Yuanjue Temple?"
The sinister old man spoke again, his voice cold and cold, like a cold wind blowing behind everyone's backs, causing goosebumps to appear.
When the great monk saw the old man, he immediately rushed towards him, fell to his knees and shouted:
"Senior brother, you are here! My Huiming disciple died miserably. His whole body was blown apart, and not even his whole body was left.
You must make the decision for us!"
Who would have thought that a great monk with such a ferocious appearance could actually make such a gesture.
For a time, everyone felt contempt and fear for him.
The white-faced swordsman swallowed, steeled himself and asked:
"Who is Senior? I have never heard that there is a person like Senior in Yuanjue Temple?
This is the grudge between our Changsong Sect and Yuanjue Temple, and it is an internal matter of the eighteen sect alliance. My predecessor is Jin Dan Zhenren, and he has no right to interfere with our affairs."
The sinister old man sneered and replied:
"I originally had a nickname, but I stopped mentioning it once I entered Buddhism. Now you can call me Yuankong. This is the meaning of Master Yuanjue's hope that I will practice perfection and achieve great enlightenment.
I am a member of Yuanjue Temple, how can I not care about the affairs of Yuanjue Temple?"
The great monk Fue also helped by saying:
"Three years ago, Senior Brother Yuankong attained enlightenment and took refuge in our Buddha. Therefore, Senior Brother Yuankong personally accepted disciples on his behalf and brought them into our temple.
Because the presiding senior brother admires his Buddhist teachings, he allows him to lead his practice."
Everyone present: "..."
Even if you could call Buddha over, he wouldn't look like a monk at all.
Because the great monk ordered his disciples to send out a distress signal of the golden light of the Buddha, more and more people gathered at this moment, and almost all eighteen sects gathered.
Someone secretly called out the old man's identity.
"He's the Shadow Demon!"
"The second newly promoted Golden Core Master after Taoist Qing Niu - Shadow Demon!"
"Isn't he going to rebuild the Wanying Tower? Why did he get involved with Yuanjue Temple?"
"Didn't you hear? I have converted to Buddhism now, tsk tsk..."
"I have long said that there is a problem with Master Yuanjue's philosophy, and now something has indeed happened."
"The reputation of Yuanjue Temple has been ruined."
"Poor Master Yuanjue can't find peace even after his death."
Fang Chang, who had been in a state of confusion, listened to everyone's discussion and figured it out.
He has always only heard the name of Shadow Demon, but never seen him.
Before, he was thinking that this guy threatened to rebuild the sect and join the eighteen sect alliances. At least there would be a fight between dragons and tigers in this conference.
Unexpectedly, he fired his shot in vain and secretly hooked up with Enjueji.
what is this?
Backdoor listing?
This trick of the White Wolf with Empty Gloves is almost the same as when he and Li Hu planned the Spirit Sword Sect together.
However, Li Hu has Qin Jing's unique skills, Qin Jing's relics, the sect leader's token, and their fledgling status, which perfectly fits the characteristics of closed disciples.
Therefore, everyone accepted this confusing account.
But Shadow Demon is different.
As one of the new golden elixir masters in Annan Road, Shadow Demon naturally did not appear out of thin air.
It is said that as a fleeing sect disciple in the Liuyun Mountains, he recruited other sect disciples who were also displaced and established a killer organization called Shadow Kill, specializing in doing some dirty work and occasionally appearing as a plunderer or cultivator bandit.
All members of the organization are villains.
The black and white evil spirits who died in Fang Chang's hands back then were considered part-time peripheral assassins of Shadow Killer, otherwise they would not have received assassin orders.
For such a notorious figure, it is naturally very difficult to join the eighteen sect alliance and share the interests of the Lingshi mine.
Fang Chang initially estimated that Shadow Demon might make a big fuss at the sect meeting, and would even have to have a fight with Patriarch Biyun and Taoist Fire Dragon before he would stop.
At that time, according to the strength of both parties, what should be compensated should be compensated, and what should be let go.
When the Wanying Tower, where Shadow Demon was born, was destroyed, it was a stupid incident. All eighteen sects were involved, and it was impossible to abandon any of the eighteen sects for this reason.
Therefore, the attitude of the sect alliance must be tough in the end.
As a result, Shadow Demon actually found another way and found this method - if you can't beat it, join it.
The reputation of Yuanjue Temple for recruiting evildoers has long been spread. Master Yuanjue teaches all kinds of people, and his belief in not rejecting anyone who comes is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, Shadow Demon insists on saying that he worshiped in Yuanjue Temple a few years ago, which makes people think it is somewhat possible.
Moreover, now that Master Yuanjue has passed away without any proof of his death, other disciples of Yuanjue Temple, like the great monk Fue, admit that Shadow Demon's pseudonym is Yuankong.
So now an invasion war instantly turned into an internal affair of the alliance.
As for the farce performed by Yuanjue Temple today, there is only one reason in the final analysis, which is to make the matter bigger and give Shadow Demon an excuse to appear in an upright manner.
Enjueji plays the role of the weak one, and others have to worry about their reputation even if they want to take action. After all, there is Shadow Demon, the golden elixir master.
Apart from this, Fang Chang really couldn't think of the reason why Yuanjue Temple suddenly came forward to offend the four sects.
This competition has been planned for a long time. It is both an excuse and a demonstration of strength.
And who cares about the disciples who sacrificed their lives?
But can he succeed?
If this backdoor listing scheme can be successful, then in the future, if there is no real Jin Dan in charge of the eighteen sects, they may all suffer the same fate.
After all, who doesn’t have a lost ancestor?
As long as the sect's bones are softer, they may be deprived of all their foundations by outside golden elixir monks. The temptation of the spirit stone veins is too great for them to hold on.
Fang Chang secretly put away the matza and melon seeds and waited for the situation to develop.
Anyway, it was the Changsong Sect that was in trouble now, not their Spirit Sword Sect, so I was happy to watch the excitement.
Hearing the identity of Shadow Demon, the white-faced swordsman turned even paler.
He didn't want to test Master Jin Dan's strength by himself.
But he couldn't lower his head at this moment.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his lips trembled, and he was speechless. He seemed to be afraid, but in fact he was delaying time.
Finally, he prayed countless times.
The owner of Zhengqi Villa came late.
"Wait a minute!"
"If you have something to say, please say it, but don't do anything!"
A middle-aged man with a high diploma, elegant and mature temperament arrived on the wind. The person who came was none other than Ling Yun, the owner of Zhengqi Villa.
He stood between the Changsong Sect and Yuanjue Temple, showing his impartiality.
"Accidents happen that no one can predict. Why don't you give me some face? Let's sit down and talk. Everything will have a solution."
"Okay, I'd like to see what explanation you plan to give me."
A hint of pride flashed in the eyes of the sinister old man, but his face remained sullen.
The white-faced swordsman murmured: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to ask the head of my family."
"This is easy to handle."
Ling Yun shouted to one side: "Master Duan, what do you think?"
It turned out that the leader of the Changsong Sect had already arrived, but he never showed up.
After the words fell, a thin man with a beard and a rather capable look walked out of the crowd of onlookers.
He never wore a sword, and he didn't have a very high temperament. He only had a pair of bright eyes that seemed to shine.
And he is Duan Yiping, the head of the Changsong Sect.
"If Brother Lingyun comes forward, I will not object."
Ling Yun smiled and said: "Well, let's listen to it while all our friends are here, so that no one will really bully others."
"Who speaks first?"
"I come!"
When the white-faced swordsman heard Ling Yun's words, he perked up and told the truth about what had just happened.
"...The other three sects can all testify for me on this matter, and there are absolutely no lies. It is hateful that Yuanjue Temple failed to provoke and used this to frame me!"
After hearing this, Ling Yun looked in the direction of Yuanjue Temple.
"Chief Fuxie, do you have any objections to what Elder Xue said?"
Intentionally or unintentionally, he ignored the existence of Shadow Demon.
The timing of Shadow Demon's appearance was perfect. As a landowner, he had to deal with the dispute between the two factions first.
As for the specific identity of Shadow Demon, without the two real people of Biyun Sect and Fire Dragon Sect, he alone cannot suppress him.
Even if the two real people don't show up at this time, they may have already expressed a certain attitude.
If he was a bad guy in vain, he would offend Shadow Demon, the newly promoted Golden Core Master, and it would be very embarrassing for him to meet him in the future.
The great monk, who had the support of Shadow Demon, continued his performance at this moment.
"Nonsense! Complete nonsense!"
"Obviously, four of their sects have joined forces to bully others. Poor monk, that disciple, in his prime, lost his life just because of their fight before he had time to see more of the world."
"Fortunately, we, Yuanjue Temple, still have Senior Brother Yuankong here, otherwise our Yuanjue Temple would have suffered this unjust injustice today."
"The poor monk knows that we monks in Yuanjue Temple made mistakes before becoming monks, but no one can make mistakes. The abbot senior brother taught us to be good, and we have already changed.
But you refused to give us a chance."
"Poor disciple of the poor monk!"
As he said this, the great monk shed tears with his eyes red.
"The Buddha is above me, and the poor monk is a monk. Don't tell lies, otherwise you will go to the tongue-pulling hell after death."
People from the four factions: "..."
Now they will never believe in Buddhism.
The white-faced swordsman's face was now red with anger.
"What nonsense!"
But the great monk shouted: "Then do you dare to swear? Did you just tell your disciple not to hold back, and then you beat the disciple of the poor monk to death?"
Isn’t this what you said?
You swear, don’t you?!”
The white-faced swordsman pointed angrily at the great monk, his eyes tearing apart: "Obviously it was you who provoked me first! Shameless! Really shameless!"
The great monk looked even more angry: "The poor monk only wants to ask you if you said those words. If not, do you dare to swear?"
At this moment, the female cultivator from Baicao Valley finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Fu evil, don't be so glib. What Senior Brother Xue said is true. It was entirely you who provoked me first and refused to help your own disciples. I, Baicao Valley, can testify to this."
"The Tiangong sect can also testify."
The Tiangong Sect monk who had been silent all this time spoke.
"Same goes for the Spirit Sword Sect!"
Elder Tang glanced at Fang Chang and saw that he slightly tilted his head. He immediately straightened his waist and responded loudly.
The great monk said directly: "You four families are a nest of snakes and rats, and you will naturally perjury each other. If the poor monk does not believe in the world, there will be no justice!"
Ling Yun knew that this matter was unclear.
The father-in-law says the father-in-law is right, and the mother-in-law says the mother-in-law is right. It is not good for anyone.
He was thinking that if someone wanted to hold an exchange meeting on his property in the future, he would either sign a life and death certificate or arrange a photo crystal.
Otherwise, just with one mouth and no words, you can stir up trouble.
Besides, does the truth matter at this moment?
Ling Yun glanced at the shadow demon who said nothing but felt oppressive, sighed silently, and asked:
"Senior Yuankong, how do you think we should handle it?"
Shadow Demon said: "Pay back the debt, pay for the murder, hand over the murderer, and the other four families will jointly apologize to the dead disciples of this temple, then I can forget the past."
Ling Yun looked at Duan Yiping again.
Duan Yiping maintained a calm and calm smile on his face. Even when he heard the threat from Shadow Demon, he just said calmly:
"I believe what Elder Xue said. It is even more impossible for me to hand over my disciple."
Shadow Demon smiled coldly: "Are you irritating me?"
Duan Yiping still looked calm: "This is Zhengqi Villa, the place where the eighteen sects are allied. I'm afraid I'm in the wrong place if I want to use the big to bully the small."
As soon as these words came out, not only the disciples of his own sect were moved, but also the disciples of the other three sects felt that this head Duan was responsible and not afraid of power.
Only Fang Chang glanced at Duan Yiping in surprise.
Mrs. Qin's head brother should not be such a tough person since he can use his sister to marry him.
Is there another hidden secret?
"Okay, okay!!"
Shadow Demon said three good words in a row, the pressure in the air increased, and a huge ghost jumped up from behind him, as if it wanted to cover half of the sky.
A clear light swayed in front of Ling Yun, dispelling the power in front of him and maintaining a decent appearance.
"Senior, this is Zhengqi Villa!"
Shadow Demon stopped his movements, looked deeply at Ling Yun, and said:
"In this case, I will give Zhengqi Villa a face, but this matter must be settled, so let's go to the stage of life and death in accordance with the alliance agreement.
Of course, if you don’t think that I am from Yuanjue Temple, then I don’t need to follow the rules when I take action.”
In order to avoid civil war among the eighteen sects, the big sect found an excuse to annex it, so when the two sides inevitably had a dispute, there was still a life-or-death option in the end.
At that time, the two sects of Biyun Sect and Fire Dragon Sect will be invited to judge. Once they take the stage, no matter life or death, all grudges will be eliminated.
If anyone retaliates afterwards, his share of the spiritual stones will be deducted and distributed to other sects, so everyone is willing to be this supervisor.
However, the eighteen sects were relatively restrained, and no one went to the point of going to the stage of life and death. Normally, even if there was a conflict, each other would hold hands.
The main reason is that the alliance has been established for a relatively short period of time, and the cultivation resources are becoming increasingly abundant year by year.
Duan Yiping nodded slightly: "That's it."
"Even if my disciples die, they will die standing up!"
Disciple Qiu Ming behind him was moved to tears:
"Master, I will never let you down!"
"good!"
"At the conference the day after tomorrow, please invite Patriarch Biyun and Taoist Huolong as witnesses. See you there on the stage of life and death!"
Shadow Demon didn't let go when he saw Duan Yiping, and walked away with others.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned to look at the other three factions.
