Jiang Yun asked again with concern: "By the way, I think Fellow Daoist Ye seems to be feeling a little unwell, but is he okay?"
"It's okay, Senior Sister just ate something unpalatable."
Anle thought about Ye Ling'er's constipated expression before and almost laughed out loud.
It was the first time he saw his senior sister show that kind of expression.
Obviously, the taste of the Wuwang Black Iron is really hard to describe, and even Ye Ling'er finds it difficult to digest.
But considering Taotie's physique, this is not a big problem.
Compared to this, Anle is actually more concerned about something else.
"Miss Jiang, I have something to tell you. Why don't we find a quiet place..."
Jiang Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, then smiled charmingly and said, "Then come to my room."
******
Soon, the two of them walked into Jiang Yun's temporary bedroom one after the other.
But this time, their state of mind was completely different from before.
During this period of contact, Anle had to admit that Jiang Yun was one of the best women he had ever known.
There is no doubt that his character, means and strength are all top-notch, even slightly better than Ye Ling'er.
And in Jiang Yun's view, Anle is no longer an innocent and beautiful vase.
Until now, Jiang Yun still can't figure out why Anle made these decisions and why he is always so confident?
She thought to herself: "Anle must have some great secret!"
As for the talent displayed by Anle, it far exceeded Jiang Yun's expectations.
Jiang Yun analyzed the situation afterwards and thought that if she had just broken through the Jindan stage, she would probably only be able to hold on under the suppression of Zhang Haiyun's Sun Shining Sky Wheel Sword Formation, and would not have the energy to destroy the core of the formation.
It was for these reasons that Jiang Yun's attitude towards Anle underwent a subtle change, and she even had the intention of bringing him into the small group.
It is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
After entering the room, Jiang Yun first set up a soundproofing array around it, and then spoke first: "An Le, I have a question for you."
"Don't worry, no matter what the answer is, I won't tell anyone about it."
"If you don't trust me, I can swear on my Nascent Soul."
An Le's heart skipped a beat. After all, it was not the second day yet and he had not yet used deduction to predict Jiang Yun's reaction. He couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
But he still said calmly: "It's okay to say it, I trust Miss Jiang's character."
If Jiang Yun touched on those deepest secrets, Anle would definitely not answer so honestly.
But soon, Anle heard Jiang Yun ask: "You are less than 30 years old now, right?"
"Ok?"
Anle showed a strange expression. He never expected that the other party would ask such a question.
He looked carefully at Jiang Yun's eyes and found that there was spiritual power surging in them, with a mysterious glow. He knew that she had used the so-called "Qi-Seeing Technique" to distinguish the truth from falsehood.
However, there is nothing inconvenient to answer this question.
Anle glanced at the "16" on the panel and nodded readily: "Yes, I am not yet thirty this year."
Jiang Yunmei's eyes flashed with a look of "as expected" and she praised: "Such talent is considered very good in Taixu Palace."
Although Taixu Palace is full of geniuses, the path to becoming an immortal is long and arduous, and it is not easy to advance to each realm.
Even Jiang Yun, a noble lady of the Jiang family, who was gifted with great talent and had a large amount of resources allocated to her, was already twenty-six years old when she broke through to the Golden Core stage.
It is conceivable how difficult it is for ordinary monks to practice.
Take Jiang Junliang for example. Although he looks young, he is actually 53 years old.
Another example is Lu Changsheng, the golden elixir master of the Lu family in Chiyu Manor, who only achieved the golden elixir after he was a hundred years old.
Jiang Yun conservatively estimated that Anle is probably in his twenties now, so she asked this question.
But then again, cultivators have long lives, just like the immortal species like elves. Forty or fifty years old is still considered childhood, so Jiang Yun is far from being old.
At this time, Jiang Yun continued, "What you want to ask is probably related to the group of gray-robed people who call themselves 'Chen'?"
Anle nodded: "That's right."
The Soul-Gathering Bell comes from the Ghost Lord.
The madness of the Ghost Lord and the strange power in the Luohun ruins are all weird.
Anle always felt that there was an indescribable similarity between that incident and the replacement of Zhang Haiyun in the Qinghan branch hall.
The reaction of the Soul-Gathering Bell completely confirmed this.
After absorbing that invisible secret power, it seemed to have undergone a special transformation.
An Le still remembers the series of events that occurred after he handed the Soul-Gathering Bell to his master Gu Shanshan during the deduction. Not only was Gu Shanshan injured, but his senior brothers and sisters also disappeared one after another.
Just from the tip of the iceberg, Anle can see that there are huge secrets and dangers hidden behind it.
Since Jiang Yun could call out the name "Chen", it means that she must have a lot of knowledge about this force.
"'Chen' is a group of special cultivators in Taixu Palace."
Jiang Yun began to speak slowly.
"Among them are disciples from aristocratic families, as well as independent cultivators. In the inheritance of generations in Taixu Palace, they constantly absorb fresh blood and gradually grow stronger."
"It is said that Chen's original purpose was to make evil spirits and monks live in harmony, to make people no longer afraid of evil spirits, and to make them stop hurting people."
Her eyes were deep and complicated, as if she was recalling some events from the past.
"However, as time went by, the monks who first founded 'Dust' gradually aged, and their successors came to power. They gradually forgot their original intentions and began to use the power of evil to gain profits, and even... traded with the evil gods."
Hearing this, Anle slightly widened his eyes, and was surprised in his heart: "Evil God..."
He knew before that this world was different from the ordinary world of immortal cultivation.
Not only are there strange evil spirits, but there are also gods who were once glorious but have now disappeared.
God and weirdness coexist!
Immortal cultivators gradually occupied this world only after the decline of the gods.
Moreover, there are still many undeveloped uninhabited areas in the world, and no one knows what is hidden in them.
The "Dahuang" that Anle came into contact with is said to be a fallen god.
The so-called "evil god" is undoubtedly a more evil and terrifying existence.
Jiang Yun looked at Anle's expression and continued, "It seems that you have heard of the existence of gods, so there is no need for me to elaborate on it."
"In short, the current 'Chen' has become an organization that puts profit above all else and has completely lost its bottom line."
"As a cultivator who joined the Grand Void Trial this time, you must be aware of the unexpected termination of the trial, right?"
Anle nodded.
No matter how you look at it, the end of the Taixu Trial and the outbreak of war with the Datai Divine Dynasty were too sudden and abnormal.
"The conservative family power of Taixu Palace did play a significant role in this, but there was also the invisible pusher of 'Chen'."
An Le asked again: "But why did they replace Zhang Haiyun?"
Jiang Yun shook her head: "Who knows?"
"There is a rumor that they are secretly conducting experiments on evil spirits, as if they are collecting something."
"It's also possible... that some people from the noble families paid a large sum of money to ask them to do it."
Jiang Yun sneered: "After all, as long as you give Chen enough spirit stones, they will do anything."
"And the aristocratic family has such exaggerated financial resources, so it's natural that they hit it off and have similar interests."
Anle looked strange when hearing Jiang Yun talking about the aristocratic family so openly.
"Why? Do you think that as a direct descendant of the Jiang family, I will firmly uphold the dignity of the six great families?"
"You are wrong!"
Jiang Yun suddenly became serious: "I am certainly a vested interest of the family system, but after so many years of traveling, I have come to the conclusion--"
"The aristocratic family is the cancer on this huge monster called Taixu Palace!"
"And the disease has already penetrated deep into the bone marrow and is incurable."
Anle looked confused and didn't know how to respond.
"It is precisely because of the existence of the aristocratic families that the treatment and resources of new disciples from outside are constantly suppressed. They either choose to become vassals of the aristocratic families, or be ostracized and become mediocre and indistinguishable from the crowd."
"The six great families occupy the best and most abundant resources in the Taixu Palace, but the disciples within their families focus most of their energy on internal struggles. Their cultivation may not be very high, but they are constantly forming cliques and suppressing the dissidents."
"In the past hundred years, there hasn't been another god-transforming master in this family, but the amount of food resources consumed every year is an astronomical figure..."
Jiang Yun became more and more excited as she spoke, and said solemnly: "As long as the family still exists, Taixu Palace will continue to stagnate and decay."
"Sister, you are from a noble family yourself, right?"
After listening to it, Anle couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Is it necessary to scold so harshly?"
Although he didn't know what Jiang Yun had been through that led her to have such a radical idea, Anle still agreed with what he said.
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the solidification of social classes, and the path to the upper class for ordinary disciples of Taixu Palace is blocked by the aristocratic families.
If they want to climb up, they will have to spend several times more energy than the disciples from aristocratic families.
Some monks who cannot see the future naturally do not want to practice hard anymore, but instead rely on their existing strength to enjoy the prosperity of the world.
Over time, the vitality of Taixu Palace declined and it decayed bit by bit.
"Does this kind of problem occur even in the immortal cultivation sects?"
Anle was secretly shocked: "Yes, as long as there is greed in human nature, this situation will repeat itself again and again."
At this time, Anle thought of Jiang Yun and the people around her.
"They...are they all gathered together because of this idea?"
Jiang Yun seemed to see through what he was thinking and sighed, "No, I'm the only one who thinks so."
"Maybe it seems ridiculous to you, but this is what I think in my heart."
Her pretty face was a little gloomy, and it was obvious that her opinion was not recognized by her companions.
However, Jiang Yun was very strong-willed and quickly adjusted her attitude.
"The existence of 'Chen' is not a big deal. Even if he colluded with the evil spirits, it would not be a big deal. Magic such as ghost control and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner have existed since ancient times. But in recent years, 'Chen''s actions have become more and more rampant and excessive, to the point that he began to harm fellow monks and use the evil spirits in very dangerous situations."
"So, the Palace Master gathered a group of monks, that is, us, and ordered us to find the trace of 'Chen' and eliminate them all."
"We are also called...Dust Purifiers."
At this point, Anle finally understood the origins of Jiang Yun and his group, and murmured, "Palace Master Taixu..."
Speaking of which, Anle had never seen the Palace Master of Taixu Palace, and had even rarely heard of his deeds.
Even when the disciples were on trial to become his apprentices, the Palace Master did not show up.
It is like a dragon with only the head visible and the tail not. It is extremely mysterious.
If Jiang Yun hadn't mentioned it at this time, Anle would never have associated this matter with him.
Obviously, such a secret cannot be known by any monk.
Then, Jiang Yun explained everything to Anle without reservation, and her purpose... was clear at a glance.
"Friend An, I hope you can join us."
Jiang Yun stared at Anle with a burning gaze: "Your talent and character are both top-notch. You are just right for becoming a dust purifier and purifying the dust inside Taixu Palace."
Faced with her kind invitation, Anle hesitated.
This pure man seems to be great and glorious, but in fact, he may not be so.
If the Lord of Taixu Palace is compared to the emperor of Taixu Palace, then Jingchenren is like the emperor's exclusive subordinate, the sharpest sword.
It can not only wipe out the so-called "Dust" organization, but also perform other tasks.
