I went down the mountain to hide from my senior sister, but my stunning fiancée took advantage of he

Hua Zhiyi and Fang Zhiqing played around for a while and finally got down to business.

"Zhiqing, what's the situation on the mountain now?"

"Not very good..." Fang Zhiqing's face was solemn, her eyes full of melancholy, "I haven't been able to contact Master and the others for several days!"

"How could this happen?!" Hua Zhiyi was horrified and instantly became anxious, "Then Master is in danger!"

"Not yet." Fang Zhiqing shook her head. "But the people of Hongdao Hall cut off all channels of communication in order to prevent the disciples outside from returning to support the headmaster... They are getting more and more rampant. I'm afraid it won't be long..."

"What about the people from Shouxin Hall? Are they still staying out of this matter and not doing anything?!" Hua Zhiyi's face was full of indignation.

Before Fang Zhiqing could reply, Ye Nan suddenly raised his hand weakly, "Well... could you first give us two outsiders a brief introduction to your sect's power structure? This sounds a bit confusing..."

Hua Zhiyi then forced herself to calm down, took a long breath, and explained in detail to Ye Nan and Tan Tai Ruoyi.

"Under the head of Yunyin Pavilion, there are five halls, which control the operation of the entire sect."

"The Chuanxi Hall is responsible for teaching and answering questions; the Zhiyi Hall is responsible for punishing evil and promoting good and enforcing the sect's rules; the Xishen Hall is responsible for studying injuries and treating them; the Hongdao Hall is responsible for all external affairs; and the Shouxin Hall is similar to a supervisory agency, specifically responsible for supervising whether the sect's top leaders abuse their power for personal gain or commit crimes."

"The sect is now divided into two factions. This was mainly instigated by Yuan Kui, the great elder of Hongdao Hall. He has gathered a large number of disciples who are dissatisfied with the current leader's ability to handle affairs and prestige, and are trying to replace him."

"Master still has the support of Chuanxi Hall and Xishen Hall, but Hongdao Hall has won over Zhiyi Hall, while Shouxin Hall has been watching from the sidelines, seemingly not helping either side. This has put Master at a disadvantage and makes him passive everywhere."

Ye Nan nodded in understanding.

This is easy to understand.

The so-called Hongdao Hall is responsible for all external affairs of the sect. The scope of these "external affairs" is extremely broad, and the most important of them is nothing more than foreign wars.

It is common for friction to arise between sects. In order to compete for resources and good disciples, force is often needed to resolve the issue.

Hongdao Hall must be the hall with the strongest combat power.

In addition, there is a Zhiyi Hall. Since the Zhiyi Hall is responsible for enforcing the rules of the sect and administering rewards and punishments, it also requires a certain level of strength.

In comparison, Chuanxi Hall and Xishen Hall are totally not good enough.

It is similar to an internal school, a purely internal medical institution...

In this situation, Shouxintang, which is responsible for supervising senior management and controlling and restricting power, chose not to help either side, which in itself is taking sides!

Therefore, a power structure system like this is totally unacceptable and is bound to go wrong!

It is like the six-department system that was first established during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the status of the six ministries was elevated to the extreme, and the six ministers together were almost equivalent to the abolished prime minister.

However, although the rank of the highest official of the six ministries of Personnel, Revenue, Rites, War, Punishments, and Works was the same, their actual power and status varied greatly due to the different areas of responsibility.

First of all, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue, anyone with a brain knows that these are two powerful departments that are lucrative!

The Ministry of Justice is in charge of cases and sentencing, and is also a powerful department.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, his status suddenly dropped and he was in charge of national sacrifices and some diplomatic affairs.

There is also a Ministry of Industry, which is quite profitable in some cases, but more often it is just a decoration.

The situation where there is only one Ministry of War is worth learning from, because the imperial power is concentrated and the emperor must hold military power in his hands, so the Ministry of War is often in name only.

The head of the Yunyin Pavilion obviously did not learn Lao Zhu's skills. How could he allow Hongdao Hall to truly master the power of "Hongdao"?

The military power is not in your hands, so what are you doing as the leader...

Judging from the current situation, Hongdaotang seems to have sidelined the leader, and even the channels for the leader to communicate with the outside world have been cut off.

Logically speaking, in such a situation, a "palace coup" could have been carried out directly, but Hongdaotang was reluctant to take action. There could only be two reasons for this.

The first is that they are wary of the sect leader’s own great strength, and the second is that they are concerned that Shouxin Hall has not expressed its position.

"Oh, Senior Sister, I almost forgot something important!"

Fang Zhiqing suddenly slammed the table, "Yesterday I received a letter from the Lingxi Town branch asking for help. The people from the Tianqing Sect attacked and took advantage of the internal strife in my faction to seize the territory. I have no manpower and it is difficult to provide support. Now that you are back, we must hurry up!"

Hua Zhiyi frowned, looking worried.

House seemingly endless rain……

Lingxi Town cannot be lost, as there are large tracts of spiritual fields there with excellent soil and water sources. Most of the spiritual grain harvest of Yunyin Pavilion every year comes from Lingxi Town.

"But... we can't just ignore Master's current condition..." Hua Zhiyi hesitated, unable to make a decision, and turned to look at Ye Nan.

Now she has become accustomed to relying on Ye Nan subconsciously, and always feels that no matter how difficult the task is, Ye Nan will always find a way.

Ye Nan had already roughly understood all the situations. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "How strong is the Tianqing Sect?"

"It's not as big as our sect, and the true disciples are at most at the Qi Hai VI realm. This time when they invade Lingxi Town, they won't send many experts. They are still in the testing stage, after all, they are afraid of attracting the attention of Hong Dao Tang."

After Fang Zhiqing explained, Ye Nan nodded and made a prompt decision, "Senior Sister and Xiaohua will follow Junior Sister Zhiqing to Lingxi Town. I will stay and go up the mountain to investigate the situation."

Hua Zhiyi thought for a moment.

With Tan Tai Ruoyi accompanying her, Lingxi Town will be safe.

After all, she saw with her own eyes how Tan Tai Ruoyi killed Lang Xie with just a few gestures. Ye Nan once said that this senior sister was the one who truly inherited Wu Chen's true teachings, and her strength was not much worse than Ye Nan's.

But Ye Nan, although he is very powerful, he is unfamiliar with the place and it is very risky for him to go to Yunyin Pavilion alone...

"Don't worry, I come from the Crime Heaven Division. Lurking, investigating, assassinating, and stealing secrets are all my expertise." Ye Nan saw Hua Zhiyi's concerns and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Hua Zhiyi knew there was no time to hesitate, and cheered up, "Let's do it!"

Fang Zhiqing was very skeptical and looked Ye Nan up and down, "Can you... do it? There are many masters in Hongdao Hall and Zhiyi Hall. The chief elder Yuankui of Tongdao Hall is at the level of Condensed Veins Five. Even the head of the sect dare not take action easily..."

Ye Nan smiled and didn't answer, but Hua Zhiyi said directly, "Don't worry, just leave it to him!"

Fang Zhiqing was immediately surprised. She looked at her senior sister and then at Ye Nan.

I have never seen my senior sister so confident in a man. Is this the legendary "degradation of intelligence due to love"?
