Master is tempting, come to my disciple's arms
Chapter 40 Trouble is coming
On this day, Jiyue Mountain welcomed several uninvited guests. No one came to greet them and no one informed them. It was only when they arrived at the gate of Jiyue Mountain that Xu Luoge barely received the news.
The two mountain-guarding disciples looked at the high-level cultivators in front of them and did not dare to neglect them easily, thinking that they were distinguished guests invited by the sect leader.
He bowed politely and courteously, and looked at the people in front of him, "Please wait a moment, I will go and inform the master." After saying that, he turned around and was about to walk inside, but was stopped by another voice.
"What are you reporting? Do you know our identities? Ask Sect Leader Xu to come down and greet us personally!"
This... The disciples guarding the mountain looked embarrassed. They all came with bad intentions. They didn't seem to be here to drink and chat, but rather to bring an attack and call for punishment.
You Rulie didn't want to embarrass the other person's disciples, so he spoke up for them: "Forget it, we are just doing our job, we can't go against the rules, let's wait for that disciple to report it, and we'll wait a little longer."
I didn't expect that he was not the only one who came to Jiyue Mountain to settle the score. This was really God's help to me. On the surface, they were still friendly, but secretly they were already very happy. If he and Jiang Yuning came alone, their chances of winning were uncertain, but according to the current situation, it is clear which side will win or lose.
When Wu Zi, the head of the Sanqing Sect, heard this, he snorted heavily from his nose. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything else.
When Xu Luoge received the news from Xu Yi, he was also greatly shocked and completely confused. When he heard Xu Yi say that those people were angry and had mobilized a large army, his heart became even heavier. He didn't know when Jiyue Mountain had provoked them.
After using the voice-transmitting jade to pass the message to the heads of each peak, he came to the foot of the mountain as quickly as possible. Regardless of whether the visitor was a guest or not, he still had to show courtesy. If he really came to cause trouble, then don't blame him for not remembering the old friendship.
Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Xu Luoge's uneasiness became more and more agitated.
"I'm sorry for my poor hospitality. If the leaders had informed us in advance, we wouldn't have to wait here. If there is anything, we can go to the main hall to discuss it. Please come in!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand forward, and everyone followed him in. What surprised Xu Luoge was that he didn't expect that the head of Sanqing Sect, Wu Zi, was among the people who came. Hadn't Wu Zi always been on good terms with him?
In the hall, Bai Li, Xiao Tianchen, Su Ziwei, and Wen Guangbai had already been waiting there. Not only Xu Luoge walked into the hall, but four or five cultivators behind him also walked in.
After seeing the faces of those people clearly, the four peak masters could not hide their surprise. Is today a good day?
After everyone saluted, Xu Luoge led everyone to take a seat. Ye Yifan and two disciples served tea. After the disciples left, Xu Luoge asked, "What brings you all here from afar?"
Such an ordinary question aroused Wu Zi's dissatisfaction. He put the teacup in his hand down forcefully. The bottom of the teacup hit the tabletop with a dull sound, which was just like the mood of the people present at the moment.
"Master Xu, do you really not understand or are you just pretending to be stupid? Ever since we took the reassurance pills from you, Jiyue Mountain, we have been having nightmares every day, unable to sleep or eat, and even unable to break through our cultivation. I, Wu Zi, used to think of you as a friend, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this. This master was really blind and mistook a villain for a companion."
"Master Wu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. You keep saying that you had nightmares because you took tranquilizer pills, but what evidence do you have? Everyone knows the effect of tranquilizer pills. They can only calm the nerves. How could you have nightmares? Although we in Jiyue Mountain don't cause trouble, it doesn't mean we are afraid of trouble!"
Su Ziwei was so angry that she didn't care who was in front of her, how high her status was or how accomplished she was. She asked back sharply, not giving the person on the other side any chance to refute.
This reassurance came from Wen Guangbai. After hearing these words, he couldn't sit still. He did it himself, so it stands to reason that there wouldn't be any problems with the pill!
"Humph, you are all birds of a feather. You are all from the same sect, so of course you will try to excuse yourselves. Besides me, there are other sects that have also suffered greatly from this. If you want evidence, I have a reassurance pill in my hand today. You can check it out to see if what I said is true or not."
Wu Zi knew that no one would believe what he said verbally, so he had thought of this trick a long time ago. He took out a white reassurance pill from his sleeve, and with a flip of his wrist, the pill was in Xu Luoge's hand.
He first sniffed the smell and found nothing unusual, but when he split the reassurance pill in half, a cloud of inky smoke floated out and went straight to Xu Luoge's face.
"Master, be careful!" Four voices shouted at the same time. Xu Luoge was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and a stream of spiritual power instantly dispersed the thick fog.
There was such a strong demonic energy in this reassurance pill. Wen Guangbai turned pale when he saw this. Regardless of his gentle and elegant demeanor, he hurriedly lifted his clothes and knelt down. "Master, please find out the truth. Junior brother would never do such a treasonous thing to murder others. This reassurance pill is a pill that Junior brother has been developing day and night. There is no way that demonic energy can invade it. Junior brother would never collude with the demons! Please investigate and clear Junior brother's name."
This incident happened so suddenly. If it were spread by someone with ulterior motives, Jiyue Mountain would no longer have a foothold in the world of cultivation. As the saying goes, immortals and demons cannot coexist, and being framed with such a crime, it would not be an exaggeration to die to atone for the crime.
No wonder I was still wondering if these sects had purchased the reassurance pills as if they had been notified in advance, but there was something wrong with the pill itself that led to no one purchasing it.
Ever since Bai Li sat down, he always felt that the middle-aged man opposite him was staring at him with unfriendly eyes. This look made him feel very uneasy and disgusted.
You Rulie saw that he was almost done and it was time for him to do his part. He signaled with his eyes to Jiang Yuning who was standing next to him.
Xiao Tianchen frowned and said nothing, making it impossible for others to know what he was thinking.
After Jiang Yuning received a hint from his master, he clenched his fists nervously, walked to the center of the hall and began to narrate what had happened.
"That day, I followed my brothers and sisters to hunt a nest of red fox cubs. Unexpectedly, we were discovered by the big red fox. We fought desperately and the big red fox was also killed. When we were about to leave, I saw a flying boat coming towards us. Everyone thought it was coming to rescue us, but Jiang Yuning pointed at Bai Li and he and another man attacked us. The aura bursting from him and the man shocked me directly behind the bushes. I fainted on the spot. When I woke up, I saw my brothers and sisters died tragically on the ground. They did not leave, and they took out the photo stone to record the scene. After doing these things, they boarded the flying boat and left."
This was a big deal. The place was in an uproar. The two masters brought by Wu Zi had been whispering to each other. Although they did not suffer from nightmares, they were also devastated by the evil spirit. But compared to Wen Guangbai's case, Bai Li's case was even more outrageous.
What he hated most in his life was when others slandered and threw dirty water on him. He was clearly just passing by there and checking the remains of those disciples, but how could someone with ulterior motives turn the tables and say that he was the one who killed them...
Bai Li was not angry, he just thought it was funny. Fortunately, he had evidence in his hand, otherwise he couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He questioned Jiang Yuning in a stern tone, "You said you saw with your own eyes that your brothers and sisters were killed by me. Then let me ask you, is there any demonic energy in me?"
Jiang Yuning shook his head and said, "The Immortal Venerable naturally has no demonic energy, but Yuning can clearly see that the one with demonic energy is the young man standing next to the Immortal Venerable."
Oh no, this is another critical hit. Bai Li felt like she was hit on the head with a club. Her head was buzzing. How could it be possible? How could this person know that the male protagonist is a demon? Did he really know or was he just guessing? If he was just guessing, then he must not fall into his trap.
You Rulie also stood beside his disciple, bent his back and bowed with both hands: "Master Xu, please seek justice for my dead disciples. My request is not high, just one life for one life. Those disciples were all carefully trained by me. Such a tragedy really makes me heartbroken!" His cloudy eyes pretended to squeeze out two tears. With such acting skills, it would be a waste if he didn't use him as a supporting actor.
Two consecutive incidents involved Jiyue Mountain. No matter how calm Xu Luoge's expression was, his slightly trembling body still revealed his emotions at the moment.
Su Ziwei looked at Wen Guangbai and Bai Li with a worried look on her face. They were both her junior fellow apprentices. It was unacceptable for anyone to accept that three people were involved in two incidents.
Bai Li took out the photo stone from the storage bag. Although the scene inside was not enough to explain anything at the moment, he still presented the images one by one in front of everyone.
"Masters, please listen to what Luo Li has to say. That time, when I was on my way back to the world of cultivation with my disciples, I found a corpse on the grass below. So, the two of us checked together and found that those disciples all had red fox hair on their bodies. This may also mean that this red fox is a demon beast, so these dead disciples have demonic energy on them."
He took out a few more strands of hair with a faint demonic aura from the storage bag and handed them to the sect leaders for inspection. It was indeed as Bai Li said, the demonic aura belonged to the red fox.
You Rulie still refused to give up and said, "My disciple also said that the man next to the Immortal Venerable was a demon. This red fox might have been corroded by the demonic energy before it died, which is why there is demonic energy on its hair. This doesn't mean anything."
Bai Li saw that this person insisted that it was Mo Qianyu who did it, so he was too lazy to be polite with him. His voice became colder and colder, "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that my disciple is a demon? If he is really a demon, do you think that I and your little disciple can escape? Everyone in the world knows that once a demon is possessed, he will not recognize his relatives, will not have any feelings, and will kill any living thing he sees. I hope that Master You will think carefully before you say anything, and don't speak without thinking!"
Seeing that the truth could no longer be concealed, Jiang Yuning had no choice but to ask You Rulie for help.
Unexpectedly, You Rulie did not speak for him. He just sat there drinking tea. He couldn't even handle such a small matter. He might as well die.
Bai Li felt that the child must have been forced to say this, but he didn't know who was the mastermind behind it. He walked slowly to Jiang Yuning and said softly: "Little brother, you don't look like a bad person. Can you tell me the truth? Don't be afraid of revenge. No one can do anything to you with me here!"
Jiang Yuning looked around, not daring to look directly at Bai Li. He lowered his head. If he told the truth, what would happen to his sister? It had been so long and no one knew whether she was alive or dead. The only person who knew the news was You Rulie. If he told the truth, what would You Rulie do, not only not telling him, but also killing him to silence him?
The boy looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old and had never experienced any big scenes. In this palace where everyone was a big boss, he was an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.
He was struggling with his thoughts in his heart. The conflicted emotions of responsibility made his brows twisted into a knot and his expression was filled with pain.
You Rulie was afraid that Bai Li would ask something, so he suddenly changed the topic back to the matter of the reassurance pills.
"If that's the case, it's possible that this master's disciple made a mistake. This master loves his disciple so much that he said that without thinking. Master Xu, please don't take it to heart, but you should at least give an explanation for this reassurance."
It's really a case of bringing up things that are not relevant. Xiao Tianchen, who has not spoken for a long time, can no longer bear it. He can tolerate his uncle, but he cannot tolerate his aunt.
A deep and cold voice sounded from the hall: "What do you think of Jiyue Mountain? You are accusing me of something without knowing the truth. Do you think that you can just brush off your slander against my brother with a few words? And there is also the reassurance pill incident. Our Jiyue Mountain is a major sect after all, and it is possible that we were framed. We cannot just use this little bit of evil spirit to accuse my brother of having bad intentions. We need to think long-term and give us some time to find out the truth and give everyone an explanation."
For the first time, Su Ziwei felt how charming and cool Xiao Tianchen was today!
Xu Luoge also agreed with Xiao Tianchen's point of view. He was worthy of being his junior brother. His clear logic and ability to argue with others were really amazing.
Well, Jiyue Mountain will send people to investigate the reasons for these two incidents. Please rest assured that Jiyue Mountain has stood tall in the cultivation world for hundreds of years, and its reputation will not be tarnished because of such things. We will strictly follow the words of our master and will not do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth. Give us some time. Whether it is the matter of Master You or the matter of Danxinwan, we will give everyone a satisfactory answer by then.
Wu Zi, You Rulie and the other two leaders heard what Xu Luoge said and felt that it made sense. They should not be so rash as to conclude that Jiyueshan was the one who killed people and colluded with the demon clan. They stood up, apologized to Xu Luoge, and left.
Bai Li called Jiang Yuning. For some reason, he felt that he couldn't let the little boy go back. But how could he keep him?
