The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 19: Reporting Treason

The spiritual energy within a hundred feet radius swarmed in, mixed with several diverted streams, and turned into mist that filled the middle of the mountain and merged into the formation little by little.

"Elder! This is the commotion caused by the rebel. Don't stop, or it will be too late..."

"Shut up!"

Wang Xingyi, with a rather unhappy look on his face, stopped Feng Zi who was still instigating, and turned to look at Yu Guhong.

"Brother Yu, this is probably a phenomenon of the ascending spirit, right?"

"Yes. It seems that this disciple is quite lucky." Yu Guhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood in the mist with one hand behind his back, and said with emotion: "Master Helian is a person who has realized the Dao of Chan, and is half a step away from true cultivation. The earth sinks into the mountains, and the sun falls on the rocks, which means that gold is born and water is moistened by nature. In addition, the ground is melting with hundreds of waters in this spring, which is exactly what it means. The time and place are all right, and it all depends on the disciple's own strength."

In the formation, Li Yuan seemed to have lost all feeling in his body. He only had a slight sense of floating up, flying to a dark place like a fairy, and then stabilizing himself.

There was darkness all around him, except for a soft light from above his head that shone down on his body. Only then did he see clearly that he was no longer a human, but just a ball of milky white light.

Li Yuan's consciousness gradually became dim and he fell asleep.

Outside the formation, the fog gradually faded, but the mountain stream did not change its course, and still fell in front of the cave, turning into a curtain of water.

The two elders and eight or nine disciples outside the formation waited for half an hour, but there was still no movement inside.

Wang Xingyi hesitated and said, "Could it be that this disciple's soul has lost its way and has not returned to heaven? Otherwise, there wouldn't be no movement for such a long time, right?"

Yu Guhong's eyebrows were also furrowed, and he waved his hand and said, "Look again, although the fog has dissipated, the stream has changed its course and flowed long. This means that there are still water-walking monks in the cave, who can make the stream forget its old path."

……

"Quack! Quack!"

The noisy crow's cry hurt Li Yuan's eardrums. He couldn't help but raise his eyes and found Chen Ming lying beside his ear with a mouth full of blood, screaming, trying to wake up his master.

Li Yuan came back to his senses, stood up with a thought, and found that he was as light as a swallow, and his whole body seemed to have merged into the world.

"I have reached the late stage of breakthrough!"

He shouted excitedly, venting all the dissatisfaction and forbearance that had been suppressed in his heart for decades.

He picked up Shen Ming, raised his hand and took out the Yin needle stuck in his mouth, with a cold look, he whispered: "You have suffered a lot, go back and rest first, and wait for me to heal you."

After saying that, Li Yuan used his mind to guide the silver needle and Chen Ming into the World of Ten Thousand Trees, then he straightened his robe and opened the formation.

Outside the cave, Yu Guhong heard a sound and looked up. The water curtain parted, and a disciple wearing a deacon's robe walked out. He had a handsome face, especially his eyes, which were full of spring water. Anyone could not help but take a second look at him.

But why does this face seem familiar?

When Feng Zi, who was standing beside Wang Xingyi, saw the person's face clearly, his body stiffened and he began to panic.

"Greetings, two elders! Disciple Li Yuan has been in seclusion here to break through the realm. Fortunately, he succeeded and entered the late stage!"

Li Yuan saluted the two of them with a smile, without any arrogance on his face.

"It's you." Yu Guhong was shocked. Isn't this the disciple who discovered Chen Yinshui when Chou Yunshan first subdued him?

"It turned out to be Junior Brother Li!" Although Wang Xingyi regretted offending a fellow practitioner, he still smiled amiably and said, "Junior Brother Li has entered the late stage now. You don't have to call us elders anymore. Just call us fellow senior brothers."

"This..." Li Yuan looked embarrassed, as if he was a young man with a shallow mind, "Isn't this appropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? People who practice Taoism have always been like this, the one who achieves success comes first." Yu Guhong's cold voice sounded. Even though he had no ill intentions, his temperament and words gave people a feeling that he was difficult to get along with.

“I still want to congratulate Junior Brother Li on his great progress in cultivation and becoming our sect’s elder from now on!
Why don't you pay your respects to the new elder?" Yu Guhong turned around and said to everyone.

All the disciples came back to their senses and bowed their heads, saying, "Greetings to Elder Li. Congratulations on your great progress in cultivation. I hope you will have a bright future on your path to immortality!"

Li Yuan's face turned slightly red, and he smiled and lifted up all the disciples, saying, "No need to be polite, I just went ahead."

"Junior Brother Li, the elders are the elders. In the Guangyuan Mountains, all the major forces in the four directions regard the late period as the backbone of the sects and clans.

Elders are elders, and disciples are disciples. Do not lose your dignity. "

Seeing how easy-going he was, Yu Guhong couldn't help but give him a reminder.

"Yes, Master... Senior Brother taught me that!"

Li Yuan continued to act childish and responded in a friendly voice.

“Junior Brother Li, I was anxious just now and didn’t know you were in seclusion here to break through. Please don’t blame me for my failure.” Wang Xingyi smiled and said, “I apologize to you here.”

"Oh, Senior Brother, you are too kind. Senior Brother is also unaware of the situation. Besides, I had a compelling reason not to report to the mountain gate and to stay in seclusion without missing the patrol duty."

Li Yuanmang spoke in an understanding manner, even taking the blame for the misunderstanding on himself.

"Oh? What's the reason?" Yu Guhong asked curiously, "The mountain gate has always strongly supported and praised the disciples who strive for the late stage. Not only will they be exempted from the chores for a year, but they will also provide spiritual stones and send elders to personally guide them."

"This is a matter of great importance. If you two brothers can trust me, capture this man first and destroy his cultivation. Then listen to my detailed explanation."

"Who is it?" Yu Guhong asked solemnly.

"Rebellious disciple Fengzi, why don't you confess your sins?"

Li Yuan shouted coldly, and with his powerful spiritual power and his own momentum, he pressed Feng Zi so hard that he could not move. He said with a terrified look on his face, "Elder Wang, save me! Save me!"

"You bastard!" Wang Xingyi was instantly furious and slapped Feng Zi with his palm, shattering Feng Zi's lungs and making him unable to utter a word for a while.

Yu Guhong looked at Wang Xingyi with some confusion, but did not stop him. After all, there was a huge difference between the status of an elder and the status of a deacon disciple.

He took out a calming talisman and immobilized Feng Zi before asking, "Junior Brother Li, can you tell me now?"

Li Yuan was still shocked by his own divine power. He was able to stop Feng Zi so easily by just using his divine thoughts and magic power to exert pressure from a distance. It turned out that the gap between the middle and late stages was so huge.

"Of course." He turned to the other disciples and said, "Everyone...you should leave first."

The disciples naturally agreed and left one after another.

Li Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you two brothers for your trust. This boy's name is Feng Zi. More than ten years ago, he secretly threatened me and two other fellow disciples to dig for spiritual veins, but we refused and he drugged us.

Fortunately, I practiced the art of water and was resistant to alcohol and water, so I saw with my own eyes that this boy had poisoned two of my fellow disciples with some kind of insect. Fortunately, I had a talisman to escape from the ground, so I took the opportunity to escape.

Later, the two fellow disciples were found to have secretly dug up spiritual veins and were pressed into the death cave and died tragically. I couldn't rest in peace day and night, but this person threatened me and said..."

"Junior Brother Li, do you think that poisonous insect is this thing?" Wang Xingyi suddenly interrupted Li Yuan, drew an extremely thin black nematode in the air, and stared at Li Yuan with some hint.

"Yes, it is this kind of poisonous insect!" Li Yuan affirmed.

"What? You traitor!" Wang Xingyi turned around and said angrily to Feng Zi who was immobilized.

"Junior Brother Li, did you see it clearly? Is it really this thing?" Yu Guhong's face also changed drastically and he asked again.

"Yes, it is this insect. I am definitely not mistaken!" Li Yuan said affirmatively.

Feng Zi was speechless, and could only look at the few people with fear and pleading eyes.

But Wang Xingyi was furious and said in a hateful voice: "I never thought that it was you, the traitor, who caused the failure of Helian Peak Master and caused our Qiling Sect to lose an ancestor!

Traitor, today I will use your soul to sacrifice to the spirit of Helian Peak Master in heaven!"

After saying that, he slapped down with hatred. Feng Zi's eyes showed pleading, but his heart meridians were shattered and blood flowed from all seven orifices.

"Wait a minute!" Yu Guhong tried to stop him, but it was obviously too late.

"Junior Brother Wang, why are you so excited? Escort this man back to the mountain and use the Heart-Searching Talisman to find out who is behind this and who else is involved.

If I die like this, wouldn’t it be in vain?”

"This……"

Elder Wang's eyes were red, and he regained consciousness. He said with some regret, "I was impulsive at the moment, and I couldn't help myself... I was only thinking about the soul of that traitor..."

"Forget it, since he's already dead, that's it.

Bring it back to the mountain as soon as possible, and you can ask the ancestor to force the soul to ask the spirit. Junior Brother Li, this matter is left to you. It is just right for you to return to the mountain and receive the title of elder. "

"Yes, Senior Brother." Li Yuan was surprised: "So this rebellion is actually related to the death of Master Helian Feng?"

"Alas, when Master Helian was about to successfully break through, he never expected that someone would secretly plant this corpse-eating pupil-devouring demon insect in his body, causing the Daoist ginseng to be unable to evolve its body and its flesh body to be polluted. At that point, he was doomed to die."

Yu Guhong sighed softly, "Take the body of this traitor back to the mountain gate and let the mountain people deal with it."

"Yes, senior brother." Li Yuan responded.

Yu Guhong turned and left in silence.

"Well, Junior Brother Li, when are you going to set off?"

Wang Xingyi asked with a smile.

"Of course we will set off immediately. This is related to the cause of the peak master's death. I dare not be careless at all." Li Yuan said seriously, "I will collect the formation plate and clean up the cave. It will take less than a quarter of an hour."

"Ah? Well, Junior Brother, you don't have a flying magic weapon yet, right?" Wang Xingyi suddenly said, "I have a flying magic weapon in my cave, which I'll give you as a gift. The Chouyun Mountain is more than 3,000 miles away from our mountain. If you don't have a magic weapon, you'll be exhausted if you just walk. Please wait a moment, I'll get it for you."

Li Yuan smiled and waved his sleeves. A white mist covered Feng Zi's body and rolled it in front of him before replying, "Don't bother me, Senior Brother. I already have a flying magic weapon. It can travel six to seven thousand miles a day. Now with my magic power, it will only take one or two hours to fly."

"this…"

Wang Xingyi's face looked a little unhappy. The sooner the body was brought back to the mountain gate, the easier it would be to summon the soul. The soul would remember more things, and there was no guarantee that he would not be implicated.

Li Yuan swept his mind around and found that there was no one else around. Yu Guhong had already gone far away. With his powerful mind now, ordinary late-stage cultivators would not be able to escape his detection unless they had special hiding methods or magic tools.

So he dared to let go of his worry, and immediately changed his expression, sneering: "Just now, Senior Brother Wang deliberately interrupted the second half of my words, I'm afraid you don't want to get involved?
The reason why I didn't dare to report this person right away was because he said you were there."

Wang Xingyi's face turned pale when he heard this. "Junior Brother Li, don't listen to his rebellious words. I only accepted some spiritual objects from him and promised to take good care of him in the Chouyun Mountain garrison. I definitely did not get involved in the affairs of Lord Helian."

“But if I return to the mountain gate and the peak master asks me why I didn’t report it to the elders back then, how should I answer? If he hides it from me, I’m afraid the suspicion will fall on me, right?” Li Yuan said expressionlessly.

"How could that be? Junior brother, you took the initiative to expose this rebellion, so naturally everyone will believe what you say." Wang Xingyi said with a smile.

"But why should I cover up this for Senior Brother Wang?" Li Yuan said coldly, "I am wholeheartedly thinking about the mountain sect and taking it as my responsibility to defend Qi Ling Sect. How could I do such a thing to cover up for him?"

"This..." Wang Xingyi was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead, "Junior brother, I know that you are devoted to Qi Ling Sect.

Just think of it as Senior Brother begging you... Senior Brother only begs you this time!"

He spread out his hands, and two pure white magic talismans emerged from his hands. He handed them to Li Yuan, smiled flatteringly and said, "Junior brother has just broken through to the late stage, so I'm afraid you don't have anything to protect yourself? These are two top-grade magic talismans, called Ice Condensation Talismans. Even a late-stage cultivator has to avoid the sharp edge of these talismans. They are three times stronger than the full-strength attack of a top-grade magic weapon. They can freeze a hundred feet, freeze a person's body, and solidify spells and magic weapons."

After hearing this, Li Yuan clenched his fists and said without any emotion: "I am dedicated to the justice of the sect, and there is no way I can do such a thing as shielding someone." While speaking, although his fists were clenched, his wide sleeves showed through.

Wang Xingyi's face was awkward. He didn't understand what he meant. But when he saw that the other party didn't turn around and leave, he thought that he was not sincere enough, so he took out five medium-grade spirit stones and said, "I know that you are sincere to the sect, but you have not been safe along the way. As your senior brother, you don't have any good magic weapon to protect yourself. Let me use this little spiritual resource to buy you a magic weapon for protection."

Li Yuan snorted coldly, raised his sleeves, turned around and left.

"Hey, Junior Brother Li, listen to me..."

Wang Xingyi was about to continue speaking, but when he looked down, he found that the talisman and spirit stone in his hand were gone.

"What a sincere heart!" Wang Xingyi was stunned when he reacted, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. His matter was not big, but also not small.

After all, Helian Peak Master was dead, and the cultivation world could not spend too much money and manpower on a dead person. And he did not participate in the murder of Helian Wei, but was calculated to get some small benefits.

But this matter is quite big. Because Helian Wei is the beloved disciple of the old master Yuhe. If he is really found out, he dare not think about the consequences and how to bear the old master's anger.

Wang Xingyi touched the empty storage bag and suddenly remembered that his valuable silver cold needle was also missing.

But at this moment, he just wanted to avoid being implicated, and he didn't dare to mention it even if it hurt.
