Coincidentally, in a remote hall at the top of Mount Lichen, Master Hongfa also avoided the canonization ceremony. He was sitting on the cloud platform in the side hall, looking at the three people under him with a cold face.
Wei Feng's face was calm, his back was straight, and he did not lose his grace. However, Feng Xuan and Li Chongzhen's faces were as pale as paper, and their whole bodies were trembling.
When they received the order from Master Hongfa to return to Lichen and learned that Zhuang Wudao had stepped on the third path to heaven and was about to be canonized as a secret disciple by Lichen's mountain, the two of them had already guessed their fate.
.
However, at this moment, under the cold pressure of Master Hongfa, he was still frightened and unable to control himself.
"Two years ago, I and you all felt that chaos was happening in various academies in the Soochow kingdoms, and the law was perverted and illegal practices were banned. As a result, the quality of the disciples selected by the academies over the years was declining year by year.
Only when the emperor descended did he select inspection envoys from this mountain to supervise the examinations and competitions of 234 schools in the seventeen countries."
Master Hongfa's voice was calm, but the coldness in his words seemed to freeze the side hall here.
"Feng Xuan, you are highly recommended by Wei Feng, and I have high hopes for you. As for Li Chongzhen, you have a second-grade spiritual root, and you can be considered a promising person among the fourth generation disciples. All you need to do is accumulate enough good deeds and build the foundation of the true inheritance.
Disciple, we are also very confident. We are even hopeful of winning the Golden Elixir. But this time about Zhuang Wudao, how do you two want to explain it to me and Ming Cuifeng?"
Li Chongzhen was speechless, while Feng Xuan was covered in cold sweat: "This matter involves the Chongyangzi of Taiping Road in the north. Feng Xuan expelled Zhuang Wudao in the first place so that I could calm down the trouble in the future and avoid any troubles.
Dispute. At that time, Feng Xuan could only detect that Zhuang Wudao only had a fifth-grade spiritual root."
Wei Feng listened, but smiled slightly disapprovingly. At this time, there was no use in explaining. Instead, it showed imbecility, and there was no way to take it seriously.
At this time, Zhuang Wudao, let alone Taiping Dao, even if he offended the Three Saints of the Central Plains, Master Hongfa would not hesitate at all.
He is ranked twenty-sixth on the list of outstanding talents due to his Qi training status. Which sect would not dream of having such a disciple?
No matter what reasons and excuses there are, the three of them cannot escape guilt.
"Really? I heard that the Shen family of the Zhou Dynasty also presented three Jade Cauldron Pills?"
Master Hongfa's voice turned even colder as expected: "However, when you expel a disciple from this sect without any reason, which sect order did you follow? And who gave you the courage to expel an inner sect disciple? North
Taiping Dao, do you want to quell the dispute? Do you need to come and take over? Hey, the disciples of my Lichen Sect who died at the hands of Taiping Dao this time amounted to a hundred people."
The sound of reprimanding was like strong wind and thunder, containing true energy. Both Shi Feng and Xuan's faces were pale, and their seven orifices were overflowing with blood. They were slightly injured by the sound wave of Master Hongfa.
"I have promoted and valued you, and I hope that you two can one day become the pillars of our Ming Cuifeng and the Lichen Sect. How can you repay me like this? Let me and this Ming Cuifeng, both
To become the laughing stock of hundreds of thousands of Lichen disciples? To make countless people in the world laugh at me for not knowing how to understand people, and for being ignorant?"
After saying this, Hongfa seemed to have lost interest and was too lazy to speak anymore. He waved his hand feebly: "Step aside, I think about it. The Black Wolf Cliff in the south is currently short of manpower, and you two are in need of some experience. Therefore.
I am already there and have arranged the duties of two patrolling disciples for you. I will give you ten days, if you fail to do so, you will be responsible for the consequences."
"Real person?"
Feng Xuan was shocked. The most evil place in the south has always been the place where sects send out erring disciples. And the Black Wolf Cliff has a particularly bad reputation. The situation of the patrolling disciples is even more dangerous. Over the years, it has often been
There is not one out of ten.
If the two of them go there, they will never survive.
However, Hongfa had closed his eyes and remained silent. He still remembered that during the canonization ceremony, hundreds of thousands of disciples at the foot of Lichen Mountain looked at them with mocking eyes and gloated over their misfortune.
Wei Feng, on the other hand, was like a wooden sculpture, sitting aside and listening without any reaction.
Li Chongzhen also looked ashen, but he was better at judging the situation than Feng Xuan. He knew clearly that there was no room for redemption. After bowing deeply, he voluntarily left the side hall.
Feng Xuan looked at Hongfa, then at Wei Feng, and then walked out of the side hall like a zombie, one foot deep and the other shallow.
After the two of them left, and a long time later, Master Hongfa spoke again: "Wei Feng, did you already know about the rankings of the new talent list? Before the return of Soochow, you already knew about Zhuang Wudao.
Ranking?”
Wei Feng did not hide anything, and said frankly: "I traveled to the countries of the Central Plains in my early years. In the Tiandao Alliance, I have three or five friends, and now they all hold important positions. I learned that the Tiandao Alliance sent people to give five Wuyu Wuhua peaches as a gift.
After Yu Jie Fa Zhenren, the disciples have been secretly making inquiries to find out the truth. Therefore, before the list of outstanding talents has come, the disciples already know Zhuang Wudao's ranking, and he may be among the top four hundred."
Master Hongfa had already expected this, and his expression was calm: "That's why you ordered the three men from Gai Qiancheng to attack Zhuang Wudao? With this tragedy in Haitao Pavilion?"
"That's right." Wei Feng nodded slightly, without any intention of denying the blame: "Disciple knows that once the matter is leaked, outstanding talents may be listed. Not only will the master become the laughing stock of others, but the disciple will also be afraid that it will be difficult for him to survive in this Lichen Mountain.
There is a place to stand.”
"Is that so?"
Master Hongfa's eyes were dull, neither happy nor angry: "However, Gai Qiancheng and Yu Anjun are at your mercy."
Although Wei Feng was extremely powerful in Mingcui Peak, he almost held the position of leader. However, Gai Qiancheng and Yu Anjun's masters were also from the Golden Pill.
Although he is a marginalized figure in Ming Cuifeng, how can he allow his disciples to be manipulated and threatened by Wei Feng?
"That's why the disciple asked Mo Wen to throw him out of Haitao Pavilion."
Wei Feng said indifferently: "If things go well, these three people really don't have to worry too much. At least Xuanling Mountain will not be able to hold the three of them for the time being. This transaction with Haitao Pavilion will have no impact on them in the future.
The future is also quite beneficial."
Master Hongfa frowned slightly: "But since you know that Zhuang Wudao is on the outstanding talent list, ranking among the top four hundred, you should know that the three people from Gai Qiancheng will never be Zhuang Wudao's opponent. A Haitao Pavilion semicolon
, just eight foundations may not be able to win him. This son’s reputation among the disciples of Xuanling Mountain is at its peak, and this is the time when one call is answered by a hundred people——"
"The disciples have already anticipated this."
Wei Feng's face turned ugly: "The only thing I didn't expect was that this boy would be ranked twenty-sixth on the list of outstanding talents. What I regret most is that I was too scrupulous and worried that I, Ming Cuifeng, would fall into collusion with me afterwards."
Outsiders have made excuses, and no Jindan has been arranged to intervene."
The top 400 in the rankings and the top 30 in the rankings seem to be only 370 positions. However, in the Tianji Ranking, it means a gap of more than 100,000 or even 300,000 positions. The difference in combat power,
It is also the difference between cloud and mud.
He didn't know whether it was the Tiandao Alliance who deliberately concealed the truth from him. Or it was Zhuang Wudao's strength that had undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few dozen days.
However, misjudgment of Zhuang Wudao's strength was the biggest cause of failure.
"The disciple did not expect that Zhuang Wudao would rush to Haitao Pavilion alone. He also did not expect that the eight foundation builders of Haitao Pavilion would be no match for him."
Wei Feng took a deep breath: "However, according to my expectations, no matter what choice he makes, he will inevitably be sent to the most dangerous place in the south to guard the Black Wolf Cliff."
No matter whether he is waiting for death, whether he is inviting his disciples, whether he is angry and hurting others. No matter what Zhuang Wudao does, it is always wrong and he is guilty——
"So, you didn't expect that Zhuang Wudao would escape his sins by using his Taoist career to reach heaven. He would reach heaven in one step and stand side by side with Elder Jindan of our sect from now on?"
Wei Feng was silent. If he knew that this boy's ranking was not among the top 400 that he knew in advance, but within the top 30, he would definitely be able to think of it.
The top thirty people on the Yingcai List, even if they are in the Foundation Establishment realm, are still the pride of the world and the most talented people in the world. How can he, Wei Feng, not be on guard?
At this moment, the face of Master Hongfa was also gloomy and cold to the extreme: "However, this time, including your disciple, whether it is Gai Qiancheng or Mr. Yu An, all of them are among the disciples of my Ming Cuifeng generation.
, the most outstanding people can all hold big positions in the future. You can choose whoever you want as a chess piece, why did you choose only three of them?"
"The three of them have an old grudge with Zhuang Wudao for a long time, so I can get away with it safely."
Wei Feng's tone was light and casual, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "Moreover, Master, don't you realize that Master Yun's lineage has become too popular recently?"
"After all, we are disciples of the same peak and lineage."
Master Hongfa snorted coldly: "Although I have selfish motives, what Yunfa has done in the past few years has not been disrespectful to Mingcuifeng."
"It's only for these three years, but it may not be the same after three years -"
Wei Feng sneered: "Na Yunfa and the master are equally qualified to aspire to the Yuan Shen. You two have been fighting for hundreds of years. In the end, the master took one step ahead. In three years, he took the first position on Ming Cui Peak and washed Na's soul.
By forcefully taking it as your own, you will eventually realize the Tao and become an infant, and cultivate into the Yuan Shen. With that cloud method
How can you not complain about your character? When the power of Xuanling Mountain was declining, Na Yun Pharaoh could only rely on Master. But now the situation is no longer dominated by Mingcuifeng. Let me ask Master, this time
Among the hundreds of positions in Dongli Five Kingdoms, how many of them fall into the position of Master?"
At this point, Wei Feng paused again, and the sarcasm on his face became even stronger: "Furthermore, if Gai Qiancheng and the two were not willing to let go of their resentment towards Zhuang Wudao, how could I, Wei Feng, have done what I wanted and ordered them to do what they did?"
My chess piece?"
"You always have a thousand reasons"
Master Hongfa closed his eyes again and thought about the scene of the Jindan Conference in Lichen's main hall a few days ago.
Among the hundreds of positions, Ming Cuifeng occupies 20%. The number is quite large, only second to that of Xuanling Mountain. However, nearly half of them are from Yunfazuo.
He didn't know whether this was Xuanling Mountain's compensation for Yunfa's lineage and the loss of Gai Qiancheng and his two men, or whether it was an attempt to draw a wedge between Mingcuifeng's lineage. He only knew that the Jiefa senior brother was still the same as he was three years ago.
Sophisticated and difficult to deal with
"However, I have to give my Mingcuifeng disciples an explanation. Heilangya will be guarded for ten years. If you have merit within ten years, you can be recalled in advance."
"Thank you Master"
Wei Feng had already expected the result and bowed deeply to Hongfa.
He had no reason to blame for the Haitao Pavilion massacre, which fell into the hands of others. The only guilty party was the expulsion of Zhuang Wudao from the Soochow Gymnasium by Feng Xuan.
However, it is not a direct responsibility, it is just a mistake in the recommendation. Being sent to Heilangya is already a severe punishment, which is enough to make everyone in Mingcuifeng close their mouths.
While he was lying down, an imperceptible sarcastic smile appeared on the corners of Wei Feng's lips.
