Chapter 193 Unexpected aftermath, bad intentions(2/3)
At the beginning of February, Qingxuan Sect suddenly launched a raid throughout the Qingxuan Territory. Its scale was even greater than the time when the Mo family in Cuiyu Lake was destroyed.
Before the action, we had no idea. When it was over, we learned that the Qingxuan Sect had wiped out more than 70 strongholds of the Lihen Sect within the Qingxuan Domain.
Among them, one real elixir and three fake elixirs who were retreating in Cuiyu Lake were even involved."
"At that time, many people were confused, and some thought it was Qingxuanzong who was causing trouble.
But in the end, it turned out that these people did have big problems."
"How to prove it?" Meng Zhou asked curiously.
"On the one hand, many people were invited by Qingxuan Sect to participate in the interrogation of the living. The dead were also examined and many facts were confirmed."
"On the other hand, some people put the wiped out strongholds together for review and discovered some shocking things."
"What discovery?" Although he had already made some guesses in his mind, Meng Zhou still showed his curiosity and "ignorance" about this matter.
"Those strongholds are not related on the surface, there is no grudge or interest.
But if you take them out from their respective places and place them within the Qingxuan Domain, you can find that they often benefit from the death of foundations due to some seemingly unrelated conflict of forces."
Meng Zhou nodded thoughtfully and said:
"So, many of the troubles that have occurred in Qingxuan Territory in recent years were actually caused by the Lihen Sect behind the scenes?"
Cao Lie nodded and said, "Yes, and after this amazing discovery, a trend arose in the dark."
"What's the ethos?"
"Everyone has begun to consider the various conflicts of forces that have occurred around us in recent years, especially the conflicts involving the collapse of foundations, in the context of the overall situation of Qingxuan Territory."
Having said this, he paused, looked at Meng Zhou, and said, "Do you know what everyone discovered?"
"What?" Meng Zhou looked confused, but in fact, the "deduction world" in his heart had begun to follow this line of thinking, and he also made some new discoveries.
However, because he has not updated "Current News" for a long time, the information in "Deduction World" is more than a year behind the progress of the real world.
In addition, the current affairs news he collected through the Sanchuan Society could not really cover the entire Qingxuan Territory. There were many gaps, and a lot of information was superficial and lacked deeper inside information.
Therefore, the new information he deduced based on the "World of Deduction" was not much, and most of it was very vague, but it was enough for him to understand what Cao Lie's so-called "discovery" roughly meant.
Cao Lie said in a deep voice:
"We have discovered that in recent years, about half of the chaos that has spread throughout the Qingxuan Territory's spiritual veins, especially the kind that has developed to the point of death in foundation building, has one or even multiple hidden forces behind it.
The most typical one is the big conflict in Hongliang Bay that involved hundreds of foundations. Behind it were not only people from the Lihen Cult, but also at least three other forces that were adding fuel to the flames."
"Because of this trend, Qingxuanzong's attack was not the end, but a beginning.
Either because someone followed the example, or because of a guilty conscience, or because someone was eager to clear up the beginning and end but made a mistake in the rush... More than a hundred cancerous tumors were exposed one after another."
Having said this, Cao Lie was unconsciously filled with murderous intent.
"These people are cancerous. They are eating from the pot and smashing the pot at the same time."
Meng Zhou and other monks present nodded after hearing this.
Next to him, Song Yang also said: "In the past six months, five such cancers have been exposed in our Sanchuan Plain."
"So many?" Meng Zhou asked in surprise.
Song Yang nodded and said:
"Yes, the Sanchuan Plateau has developed too fast, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons. It is not surprising that there are some rats hiding there.
Compared with Cuiyu Lake, the situation in Sanchuan Plateau is considered good!"
Meng Zhou also learned that just before his arrival, these people were conducting an "intelligence reconciliation" to see if they could find some undiscovered "big fish" through complementary information.
Meng Zhou also didn't expect that the dozens of Lihen Sect strongholds he provided to Qingxuan Sect would actually trigger such subsequent changes.
All forces in the Qingxuan Territory spontaneously launched a wave of "strict crackdowns" throughout the Qingxuan Territory.
This will inevitably bring about a lot of killing, but its effect is positive and can greatly improve the cultivation environment of the entire Qingxuan Domain.
Moreover, after such a "national action", if there is a large-scale conflict in the future, especially one that is likely to affect the life of the foundation, both the conflict participants and the bystanders will have an extra chord in their hearts.
Before starting the fight directly, I would keep my eyes wide open and look to see if there is anyone secretly guiding them and treating them like monkeys.
Even the most violent person will choose to calm down first at this time.
"I have really done a great deed of immeasurable merit." Meng Zhou thought in his heart.
At this moment, President Pan suddenly hurried into the room.
Meng Zhou looked carefully and confirmed that President Pan had successfully become a fake elixir monk.
In the past, it was normal for monks to send out invitations and organize a grand event after forming a fake elixir.
But now, there are fewer and fewer monks doing this. At most, they just close the door and enjoy themselves at home.
However, rather than Ding Ning and Meng Zhou, the protagonists of this celebration are more appropriately said to be the Sanchuan Society and the Blue Blood Army.
In the Sanchuan Association, all the fake alchemy monks including President Pan, as well as a group of high-level officials from the Blue Blood Army led by Yao Gu, were all outside to greet them.
Seeing President Pan come in at this moment, everyone knew that something must have happened, and they all turned to look at him.
President Pan said: "Xuan Yuanzi and Deputy Hall Master Fan of Qingxuan Sect have arrived."
Everyone in the room was shocked and stood up to greet him.
Although, senior officials of the Qingxuan Sect organized a group to come to Sanchuan Plain only once or twice. When the scale was the largest, the deputy sect leader even accompanied them.
But that was all for official business, either a major matter such as the upgrade of the second-order spiritual veins to a third-order spiritual land, or a sensitive incident involving the core secrets of the third-order sect in the outer domain.
The nature is completely different from this time.
With such two high-level officials of the Qingxuan Sect in attendance, it is hard to overstate the value of this elixir formation celebration.
Meng Zhou glanced at President Pan and thought that the first time he got on the line with Deputy Hall Master Fan of the Law Enforcement Hall was because of the Lihen Cult. Later, Vice Hall Master Fan also came with the group many times.
Presumably, President Pan had established a certain personal relationship with him, and Deputy Hall Master Fan's arrival this time was probably at his invitation.
Soon, a group of people surrounded the two monks and re-entered the house.
Cao Lie and Song Yang, who were walking beside Meng Zhou, looked a little strange, and Meng Zhou knew the reason.
They knew Xuanyuanzi, but before that, they only knew that his name was Tang Yuan and that he was just a fake alchemy monk from Qingxuan Sect. They did not know that he was actually a figure of the Xuan generation of Qingxuan Sect.
Xuan Yuanzi, who had been so angry by Ding Ning when they first met him, that there was no trace of unpleasantness on his face at this moment.
In front of everyone, he held President Pan's hand and communicated in a low voice, appearing very close.
Meng Zhou understood that the little unhappiness that Ding Ning brought him had long since disappeared in front of the big gifts that President Pan showered on him one after another.
At present, this "Operation to Catch Thieves" covering the entire Qingxuan Territory and involving all the people is great news for Qingxuan Sect.
And if we trace the origin within Qingxuan Sect, we will naturally trace it to the list of Lihen Sect strongholds provided by Xuanyuanzi.
After making such a great contribution, looking at Xuanyuanzi's smiling face, you can tell how much benefit he has gained.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou's heart moved. He looked at Deputy Hall Master Fan and thought, maybe this is the reason why he was invited to participate in this celebration.
In the past, the impression given to him by the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall was that he always had a straight face and a strong aura, as if his face was made of iron. Anyone he stared at would become the target of his law enforcement.
But today he realized that this person actually knew how to smile and talk to people in a pleasant manner.
Because of the arrival of these two people, the de facto protagonists of today's celebration, Ding Ning and Meng Zhou, gave up their seats in a tacit understanding.
Xuanyuanzi and Deputy Hall Master Fan became the center of the crowd.
Cao Lie, Song Yang and others also brought the two of them to the center of the topic without leaving any trace.
Meng Zhou didn't care about this and was even happy and relaxed.
It can be seen that Ding Ning is also happy to see the results.
Unconsciously, the topic once again came to the common topic that everyone is most concerned about recently.
When someone asked for more specific information about the more than 100 "bad elements" who had been exposed, ruined their meals and did nothing, Xuan Yuanzi, who was relatively talkative, closed his mouth and looked at Deputy Hall Master Fan next to him.
Deputy Hall Master Fan pondered for a moment and said:
"It's fate today, so it's okay to tell you...but be careful not to spread it everywhere."
Everyone was surprised and pricked up their ears when they found out that there was something useful.
Deputy Hall Master Fan said in a deep voice:
"You think there are only a hundred or so cancers, but in fact, we have more than two hundred here.
There are many that you didn't notice and were secretly eliminated by us in advance.
The composition of these people is also very complex.
Some were originally tribulation cultivators, and taking advantage of this opportunity, they put on a layer of white skin to confuse the public, but secretly they are still doing the work of tribulation cultivators, and they are even more unscrupulous.
Some people are blinded by the power of others, want to fish in troubled waters, and add fuel to the flames.
There are also some strongholds of the Lihen Sect that have not been cleared out, and there are also several strongholds built by secret forces in the Qingxuan Domain."
Having said this, he glanced at everyone and said:
"Two of the more famous ones, some of you should have heard of them.
To be continued...
