A few days passed by, and Wei An could smell the tense atmosphere filling the air.
The internal fighting within the Pantian Sect is really serious.
The teeth are intertwined!
Wei An heard that his slave Song Botao had been beaten!
The story begins after Song Botao advanced to the third level.
After Song Botao became the third grade, his heart and hands were itchy, so he challenged Kuang Zhongfu.
This Kuang Zhongfu had some grudges with Song Botao, and he had bullied Song Botao many times before.
Who doesn’t hold grudges?
Song Botao hated Kuang Zhong's return!
The fight between the two was about to break out. Song Botao used the Purple Sun Divine Palm and Kuang Zhongfu used the long-handled battle axe.
As a result, the power of Ziyang Divine Palm was so powerful that Kuang Zhongfu lost to Song Botao and was beaten extremely miserably, with wounds all over his body.
Song Botao really let out a bad breath, washed away his shame, avenged his great revenge, and was proud of his life!
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!
So cool!
However, what Song Botao never expected was that the forbidden blood transfer technique was activated.
Kuang Zhongfu, who practiced "Pantian Jing", obtained Pangu's bloodline as he wished. His strength skyrocketed overnight, and his combat effectiveness increased more than three times.
After Kuang Zhongfu became stronger, the first thing he did was to take revenge on Song Botao!
The two had a second battle.
As you can imagine, Song Botao was beaten badly. Not only was his body completely bruised, but his face was also covered with urine.
Well……
"This Song Botao is only three seconds more handsome!"
Wei An felt helpless to complain, but Song Botao's painful lesson told everyone that there was a turmoil within the Pantian Sect.
After acquiring Pangu's bloodline, the sect leader's faction rose to prominence, overwhelming other factions with strength.
After all, this world belongs to bloodline warriors!
"Sanqiao, the people from the Internal Affairs Hall haven't given you any trouble in the past few days, have they?" Grandma Chen came over and asked with concern.
Wei An shook his head and said, "No, with the sect master's wife protecting me, they shouldn't dare to touch me."
"That's good."
Grandma Chen nodded, remained silent for a moment, and lowered her voice: "My family sent me a message, saying that a major purge was about to take place within the Pantian Sect, reminding me to keep a low profile and protect myself prudently."
Grandma Chen’s family member is none other than Dazai Chen Guangbi.
"The Great Purge?"
Wei An raised his eyebrows, what was supposed to come would always come, so this was not a big surprise.
After all, strength is king!
After those who obtained Pangu's bloodline became stronger, they naturally wanted to gain greater power and benefits.
But Pantian Sect is only so big, and the benefits have long been divided up. If you want to get more, you can only grab what others have.
If there are more monks and less meat, someone will definitely be purged!
The question is, who will be purged?
Grandma Chen approached Wei An and whispered, "The ones most likely to be purged are the Internal Affairs Department and the Law Enforcement Department."
Wei An couldn't help but ask: "Why these two?"
"Our Pantian Sect has always been independent, loosely organized, scattered and in a mess!
But now that the sect leader has become stronger and is able to suppress all the humble people, it is natural to rectify the internal affairs and strengthen the centralization of power.
To achieve this, we must take back two major powers, one is the power of personnel appointment and dismissal, and the other is the power of law enforcement related to rewards and punishments.
Therefore, the sect leader will definitely clean up the Internal Affairs Hall and Law Enforcement Hall." Grandma Chen continued.
Wei An understood immediately and muttered: "After the sect master became stronger, the first thing he did was to challenge Master San Ling, defeat him, and seize Tianzhenguan's Cave Heaven Paradise. This move, now it seems, is more like
This is to pave the way for a major purge.”
Grandma Chen was convinced and continued: "The sect leader has great foresight. He defeated Master San Ling and his prestige is unparalleled for a while. No matter what he does next, the opposition will be much smaller."
Strength is justice!
As long as you have the strength, anything you do is a matter of course.
On the other hand, although Liu Shenfeng was the sect leader in the past, it was only in name. The reality was that he had always been stretched thin and accomplished nothing.
Grandma Chen sighed: "My family said that if the Great Purge can be completed smoothly, the sect leader will be the real power. Without so many constraints, he will follow the rules and regulations. In the future, the Pantian Sect will have unified orders.
Stronger than ever before!”
Wei An thought so.
However, can the great purge be successfully completed?
The internal affairs hall and the law enforcement hall have deep roots, and the various factions are intertwined.
Liu Shenfeng's attempt to cleanse away these old-fashioned stubborn forces was like starting a civil war. If he were not careful, the Pantian Sect would suffer heavy casualties and vitality, and the gain would not be worth the loss.
…
…
Before I knew it, March was here.
Some are happy and some are sad.
For Pantian Sect members, March is a long-awaited month.
The Chongyang Treasure Land, which originally belonged to Tianzhenguan, is about to open!
Pantian Sect members are in a state of excitement!
Anyone who has reached the peak of the fourth level in cultivation would not want to enter the Chongyang Treasure Land to attack the third level?
But it is a pity that all the blessed places in the world are actually some kind of shelter, just like a ship sailing on the sea.
Each ship has a maximum number of passengers.
The Chongyang Treasure Land is no exception. Only ninety-nine and eighty-one people can enter it once it is opened.
There are less than 100 places, how to divide them?
If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait thirty years for the Double Ninth Festival treasure land to be opened again.
The trouble is...
There are many factions within the Pantian Sect, and each faction wants to send their people to the Double Ninth Treasure Land.
Normally everyone is harmonious, but in order to compete for the place to enter the Double Ninth Festival, brothers can turn against each other.
For a long time in the past, Pantian Sect's approach was very peaceful.
When you are undecided, draw lots to decide!
Each faction selects a representative to draw lots, and how many places they can get depends on their character and luck.
But this time, the sect leader Liu Shenfeng suddenly changed the way of playing. The winner was determined by martial arts competition, and the quota belonged only to the winner.
As soon as this method comes out!
All the factions are complaining.
Everyone knows that the members of the sect leader's faction have just obtained the Pangu bloodline, and their strength has skyrocketed, and their martial virtues are abundant. How many of them can win in a fist and foot competition with them?
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
For a time, various factions were extremely dissatisfied with the clan leader Liu Shenfeng.
The evening of the ninth day of March!
There was a lot of noise in the sect's main hall.
The sect leader Liu Shenfeng, the chief elder of the Law Enforcement Hall Wei Qianshan, the chief elder of the Elder Pavilion Yu Junlu, the chief elder of the Internal Affairs Hall Fu Daoqia...
The entire top management of Pantian Sect were all present.
They were bickering and bickering over the allocation of quotas for the Chongyang Treasure Land, and it almost turned into a quarrel.
"enough……"
Suddenly, Liu Shenfeng waved his hand gently, and with a flick of his sleeve, all the noise suddenly disappeared.
Everyone looked over.
"I've made up my mind!"
Liu Shenfeng looked indifferent and announced: "How to allocate the places in the Double Ninth Treasure Land will be determined according to the results of the competition. Only the winner will be eligible to enter the Double Ninth Treasure Land."
As soon as these words came out!
There was a sound of heavy breathing in the hall.
Liu Shenfeng didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "If there's nothing else to do, let's leave."
At this time, Fang Changzhi, the deputy head of the Internal Affairs Hall, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master, I have something to report."
Liu Shenfeng glanced at Fang Changzhi lightly and said, "Tell me."
"A few days ago, four disciples of our Pantian Sect suddenly disappeared. They are two people from the Internal Affairs Department and two people from the Law Enforcement Department. Their names are Su Juqing and Yu Xingtong..."
Fang Changzhi said with a serious look.
"Four people are missing?" Liu Shenfeng frowned slightly, "What's going on?"
Fang Changzhi was silent for a moment and responded: "This matter is quite complicated and needs another person to report to you."
"Oh, who?"
"Jie Yunhu."
"pass!"
Not long after, Jie Yunhu walked into the sect's main hall, knelt down in front of Liu Shenfeng respectfully, and said slightly nervously: "Meet the sect master."
Liu Shenfeng naturally knew Jie Yunhu and said with a smile: "Jie Yunhu, you are the future pillar of our Pantian Sect. There is no need to be formal. Get up and say whatever you want."
"Thank you, Sect Master, for your trust!"
Jie Yunhu stood up, took a deep breath, and said quickly: "The thing is like this, in the early days of February, the disciple went to the library to borrow exercises, and had a quarrel with the steward Zhang Sanqiao.
The disciple was very angry at that time. Later he happened to meet Senior Brother Su Juqing and complained to him a few words.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Senior Brother Su Juqing claimed that he had also been made things difficult for Zhang Sanqiao when borrowing from the library. He had long disliked Zhang Sanqiao and wanted to teach him a lesson. He invited his disciples to beat Zhang Sanqiao on the spot.
Three bridges and one meal.
The disciple cared about the friendship between his fellow disciples and did not want to make the matter a big deal, so he immediately dissuaded Senior Brother Su Juqing.
However, not long ago, the disciple learned that Senior Brother Su Juqing disappeared inexplicably, and there are signs that before he disappeared, he had invited Yu Xingtong and three others to teach Zhang Sanqiao a lesson together."
After hearing these words, everyone in the hall watched with eyes and noses.
"Library Manager Zhang Sanqiao..."
Liu Shenfeng took a deep look at Xie Yunhu and asked, "Are you telling me that the reason why Su Juqing and the other four disappeared was Zhang Sanqiao?"
Jie Yunhu continued: "Disciple dare not say for sure, but this matter must be related to Zhang Sanqiao."
Liu Shenfeng was silent for a moment, looked at Wei Qianshan, the chief elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, and asked: "Two people from the Law Enforcement Hall are also missing. What does Elder Wei think of this matter?"
Wei Qianshan coughed dryly, cupped his hands and said: "To be honest with the sect master, the Law Enforcement Hall has actually investigated this disappearance case and has not found any valuable clues yet.
As for Zhang Sanqiao, because he is a talent personally recommended by the sect master’s wife, the Law Enforcement Hall is..."
Speaking of this, Wei Qianshan showed a troubled smile.
Liu Shenfeng narrowed his eyes slightly. From Zhang Sanqiao to the sect master's wife, this disappearance case suddenly took on an unusual meaning.
Therefore, Liu Shenfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Pass it to Zhang Sanqiao."
The library is located on the sect's main peak, relatively close to the sect's main hall.
In a short time, Wei An arrived at the sect leader's hall, looked around at everyone, walked forward and saluted casually.
"No gift."
Liu Shenfengxu raised his hand and asked directly: "Zhang Sanqiao, do you know Jie Yunhu?"
Wei An squinted at Jie Yunhu who was standing aside, nodded and said, "I don't think I know him, but I have met him twice."
Liu Shenfeng asked: "Oh, which two times?"
Wei An replied carefully: "On the second day of February, Jie Yunhu came to the library to reserve the fourth to seventh floors of the Pantian Sutra. Three days later, he came to the library again to pick up the materials, so I have seen him twice.
Second-rate."
Liu Shenfeng was very satisfied with this answer and asked: "Have you ever had a quarrel with him?"
Wei An was silent for a moment and replied: "Yes."
"What was the reason for the quarrel?"
"The rules of the library are to reserve materials first and come back three days later to collect them. Jie Yunhu thought that he was a true disciple with a special status and did not need to abide by this rule. He asked me to give him the materials immediately, but I refused. He was very dissatisfied with this.
."
Wei An said in detail.
Liu Shenfeng looked at Jie Yunhu and asked, "Is that what happened?"
Jie Yunhu continued: "This is indeed what happened, but on that day, Zhang Sanqiao had a very bad attitude, spoke aggressively, and deliberately made things difficult. This is what caused the disciples' dissatisfaction."
Liu Shenfeng didn't say a word about this, and only said: "Jie Yunhu, please tell me again from beginning to end about the four kinds of Su Juqing."
Jie Yunhu immediately repeated what he just said.
Liu Shenfeng asked Wei An: "Does the disappearance of Zhang Sanqiao and Su Juqing have anything to do with you?"
Wei An looked calm and said: "I have never met Su Juqing and the four of them and have nothing to do with their disappearance. In addition, Su Juqing told lies."
As soon as these words came out!
Everyone's expressions changed, and their eyes were fixed on Wei An.
Xie Yunhu's heart also skipped a beat. He thought about it over and over again and found no flaws in his story.
Fang Changzhi also frowned. Every word Jie Yunhu said was taught by him and he compiled it flawlessly.
The corners of Liu Shenfeng's lips curled up slightly and he asked, "What lies?"
Wei An replied: "Su Juqing said that he was once given trouble by me when borrowing from the library. This statement is false. In the more than a year since I have been in charge of the library hall, Su Juqing has never been to the library to borrow.
."
After hearing this, Fang Changzhi couldn't help but ask: "There are so many people coming in and out of the library every day, especially during the first few days of the month, there are four to five hundred people coming in and out every day. How can you be sure that Su Juqing has never been there?"
Library?"
Wei An calmly replied: "I have a good memory and I remember it very clearly. In addition, every borrower who comes to the library has been registered and can be checked!"
"remember?!"
"Can you remember this clearly?"
Everyone was in disbelief.
Liu Shenfeng immediately ordered: "Send the message to Grandma Chen and ask her to come over with the record book."
After a while, Grandma Chen arrived, holding a thick record book in her hand.
Liu Shenfeng looked at Wei An and said, "You said you remember it very clearly, does that mean that if I randomly pick a certain time on a certain day, you can tell who the borrower is and what materials he borrowed?"
Wei An nodded and said, "No problem."
Seeing Wei An's confidence, Liu Shenfeng threw the record book to Fang Changzhi.
The meaning is obvious, let him ask himself.
Fang Changzhi's heart beat faster. He opened a page at random and asked, "Who borrowed the book at 3:00 pm on the eighth day of April?"
Wei An was silent for a moment and replied: "Zhou Xuanyu, borrowed the fifth level of "Fire Lotus Mysterious Technique"."
"Ah this..."
Fang Changzhi felt his hands and feet were cold, and a layer of fine beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Unconvinced, he turned the pages of the book one after another and asked questions again and again.
However, Wei An answered fluently without any mistakes or omissions.
Fang Changzhi gradually turned pale.
Jie Yunhu, who was standing aside, was dumbfounded. He looked at Wei An with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"enough!"
Liu Shenfeng waved his hand again, and Fang Changzhi immediately closed his mouth and lowered his head deeply.
Liu Shenfeng looked at Jie Yunhu and shouted: "Jie Yunhu, there is a problem with your testimony, how do you explain it?"
"This this……"
Jie Yunhu fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice: "That's what Su Juqing said at that time, I, I won't do it..."
A look of disappointment flashed in Liu Shenfeng's eyes.
Jie Yunhu is obviously of Pangu bloodline, but he colludes with Fang Changzhi, which is both stupid and bad.
Before Jie Yunhu could finish what he said, Liu Shenfeng asked Wei Qianshan, the chief elder of the Law Enforcement Hall: "Elder Wei, what do you think?"
Wei Qianshan continued: "Since Jie Yunhu's testimony is flawed, it cannot be completely trusted. Well, I believe Zhang Sanqiao's words more."
Liu Shenfeng nodded and said: "It involves the life and death of four disciples, so I have to trouble Elder Wei to investigate."
Wei Qianshan cupped his hands and said, "You should do your best."
"Okay, let's break up the meeting."
Liu Shenfeng waved his hand, and then left the sect hall alone.
Everyone also dispersed.
Wei An and Nanny Chen returned to the library, each busy with their own business, as if nothing had happened.
However, Wei An could feel that Nanny Chen, who only wanted to protect herself wisely, was somewhat alienated from him.
…
…
Suddenly it got dark.
Wei Qianshan, the chief elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, suddenly came to the sect leader's peak and asked to see the sect leader Liu Shenfeng.
He reported: "Sect Master, we found four people from Su Juqing, they..."
Liu Shenfeng looked serious and asked, "Where are they? Are they still alive?"
Wei Qianshan sighed and said: "They are all dead. The death was miserable, and the scene was very strange. You need to go and see for yourself."
Liu Shenfeng nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the way."
The two of them stood up, left the sect's main peak, and came to the wild area at the foot of Pantian Mountain.
It was dark and the surroundings were very quiet.
Liu Shenfeng looked around and asked, "Where is the body?"
Wei Qianshan was silent, and suddenly, two figures emerged from the darkness.
Liu Shenfeng looked intently and saw that the two people were actually Yu Junlu, the elder of the Elder Pavilion, and Fu Daoqia, the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall.
Wei Qianshan, Yu Junlu and Fu Daoqia stood together.
At this situation, Liu Shenfeng's expression changed drastically, and he asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"
Fu Daoqia said coldly: "Liu Shenfeng, don't blame us, this is all because of you!"
Liu Shenfeng took a breath and said, "Today, Fang Changzhi deliberately raised the case of the disappearance of Su Juqing and four others, just to lure me out at this time?"
Fu Daoqia shook his head and said: "No, we originally wanted to convict Zhang Sanqiao and then implicate the sect leader's wife to force you to give up internal rectification, but we didn't expect that Zhang Sanqiao escaped..."
