Chapter five hundred and seventh: ulterior motives
"Both of them died here. According to my memory, one of them is named Pang Hao, who is an important disciple of the Houtu Palace in the Five Elements Palace, and the other is named Wei Tongyu, who has a higher status than Pang Hao in the Five Elements Palace.
Duo. Although his strength is very average, he possesses magical powers unique to the Five Elements Palace. When we came into contact with the Five Elements Palace, Wei Tongyu was being trained as one of the next successors of the Five Elements Palace. Unexpectedly... he would die.
It’s really strange here.”
Badcock took Alexander and the other black man to the back of Ocean University and followed the smell to the place where Ye Su, Pang Hao and Wei Tongyu had fought before, and then they stopped.
The moon and stars are sparse, the night is shrouded, and the mountains and forests are full of desolation.
Listening to Badcock's explanation, the black man asked with some confusion: "What's weird? You just die. You're killed because you're not strong enough. What's so weird about that."
"No, you don't understand the institutional structure of those monastic sects in Eastern countries. In those monastic sects, a person's importance is often not completely equal to his own strength. This is completely different from us."
Badcock shook his head and continued to explain: "For these monastic sects in the Eastern Kingdom, even if the successors they choose are currently weak, they will be regarded as the future of the sect to protect and
Cultivate, even those cultivators in the sect who are far more powerful than their successors, when the sect's successors are in danger, they must protect them with their own bodies. Normally, these Eastern cultivating sects have to protect themselves.
Before the designated backup successors have fully grown up and are able to take charge of their own business, they will hardly be exposed to any real dangers. Even if the backup successors need to undergo some training, there will inevitably be corresponding protective measures.
, that’s why I said that Wei Tongyu’s death was very strange.”
"What you mean is that when Wei Tongyu and Pang Hao came here, they died unexpectedly. This was something that even the Five Elements Palace did not expect at all."
Alexander asked with a frown.
"That must be the case. Pang Hao's status is still relatively low. For the Five Elements Palace, life and death are not very important, but this Wei Tongyu is absolutely different. Whenever possible, the Five Elements Palace will never allow it.
Wei Tongyu died in vain, so something unexpected must have happened."
Badcock nodded and said with certainty.
"Then one of the palace masters from the Five Elements Palace came to Qingjiang, isn't it possible that it was for this reason?"
Alexander rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Badcock, does it smell like the death of other Five Elements Palace people?"
"Forehead?"
Badcock was stunned for a moment, and after sniffing hard again, he shook his head and replied: "No, I didn't smell it. However, there are a lot of monks in the entire Five Elements Palace, and I can only really remember the smell of about a hundred people.
, so if there are other people from the Five Elements Palace who are not within the scope of my taste memory, I will not know about it. Lord Alexander, what...are you thinking of?"
"It's nothing. I was just thinking that if... the master who belonged to the government who killed Ulric was also the one who killed the two people from Wuxing Palace, then... wouldn't things be interesting?"
Alexander was still rubbing his chin, and the original somewhat solemn look on his face was gradually replaced by a playful smile.
"This...how is this possible?" Badcock and the black man said subconsciously at the same time.
"Why isn't it possible?"
Alexander asked rhetorically.
Badcock and the black man were speechless at the same time.
"The monastic sects in the mainland are unwilling to cooperate with the empire, not because of their close relationship with the mainland government, but simply because they are not from our race. In fact, for the East,
For these magical ascetics, no matter the empire or the mainland government, in their eyes, they are just the mortal world. They call themselves gods and immortals, and for the mortal world
The secular world has an almost instinctive contempt and contempt. Therefore, in a sense, those monastic sects are not only enemies of the empire, but are also enemies of the mainland government! And, strictly speaking, the mainland government is even more powerful than the mainland government.
The empire is even more eager for the monastic sect, an existence that can override secular power, to disappear completely! How can we allow others to snore next to the bed?"
Alexander stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and said with a smile: "It's just that the mainland government and the monastic sect have always maintained considerable restraint between each other. This is inevitable when the strength of each other is almost equal.
compromise. But now, the situation seems to have changed..."
"You mean..."
Badcock and the black man's eyes lit up at the same time.
"We still need to see the details, but no matter what, this must be good news for the empire, because we all know that these two people from the Five Elements Palace were definitely not killed by our people."
Alexander took a deep breath and seemed to finally feel more relaxed.
…
…
At this time, in the suite of a five-star hotel in the center of Qingjiang, the master of Kwai Shui Palace, He Donglian, was sitting cross-legged on a big bed with her eyes closed. Only one of the two female apprentices who followed her to Qingjiang City was with her.
Next to me, I was making tea using the tea set in the hotel.
After a few minutes, with the smooth movements of the female apprentice, a pot of tea was brewed.
The female apprentice carefully brewed a cup, then placed her hands in front of He Donglian and said softly: "Master, please drink tea."
He Donglian opened her eyes, but did not take the tea offered by her apprentice. Instead, she turned her head and looked in the direction of the bedroom wall.
"What's wrong, Master?"
The female apprentice asked with some confusion.
"Some old friends also came to Qingjiang together. I never expected that this originally just a remote place in the Raoshan Mountains would one day become a place for gatherings of people."
He Donglian said softly.
"Old friend?"
The female apprentice did not understand what He Donglian meant.
"They are old friends. They are just a group of foreign devils who visited our mountain gate before. These people actually came here... What is their purpose?"
While talking to himself, He Donglian took the tea from the female apprentice, took a sip, thought for a moment, and then said: "Yuchen, your senior sister has already gone to understand Ye Su's daily life and interpersonal relationships.
Bar?"
"Yes, Master."
The female disciple immediately bowed and replied.
"Well, then you can go too. Your senior sister hopes to infer Ye Su's character from other people's attitudes and evaluations of Ye Su. I hope you can consider this matter from another angle. A person has to deal with some things.
In fact, the way they deal with them is the one that best reflects their character. Pay attention to safety. Although our Five Elements Palace has a peace agreement with Ye Su, it is still unknown whether he will really abide by it, especially if you take the initiative to test it.
.”
He Donglian ordered.
"Ah? Okay, but...master, don't you need someone to serve you by your side?"
The female disciple asked in surprise.
"No, I have something to do... Now that my old friends are here, I have to see what they want to do. If possible... maybe... we can make use of it."
